Grand Jury in Richmond on MONDAY is

of martyrdom, its bitter curses OF the
defunct Confederacy, and its foul -uouthed
abuse of Richmond, ''the beautiful and

and jurists in the United States, will be
elected this fall. The profigacy, dishon-
estyoapd corruption OF the SofiicehOlders
now in power would and ought to DESTROY
any party. A financial PRESSURE, the nec-
essary result of the Radical financial policy,
and which must come, - sooner or later, is
being feltdby the peoples Our taxes iIIaRe

the negro . White man They propose to
amend mot only the )Constita fio6I But also
the works of the Almighty. For years a
majority of the voters in the Republfcan
party have been voting the ticket b seause
they could not be made to believe tha1 that
party would ever favor negro suffrage and
equality in this State.a That question is no
longer one for Speculation. but is palpa-
bic fact. The question is submitted to the
people for their decision by these
Leaders Of the Radicals, and they
claim that they can M whip in nearly
ALL who have heretofore voted with
them. This cannot be done. We
duIulb bLdG very many Republicans who
notEsayu yuthey NilB not vote foothe amend
ment, will be whipped inp to support the
measure under the whips of party drill.
But we know many others who will not be
whipped IN, undeH any circumstances.
They will not be scared when told that they
are voting with 81 ,Copperheads and Butter
nuts" There are thousands of this kind.
. without the negro Question being in our
politics this year, in our opinion, the Demo-
cratic ticket would have been elected. p
, With the submission of the amendment
proposing to enfranchise the negroes and
dlstranchise thousands of worthy and hon
orabie soldiers, who fought zslheir three aud
four years in the army, but who are
marked as deserters because they came
home after the war was over but before
they received their discharges, we think
there is no doubt of success. In addition
TO the class above referred to three-fourths
OF those who were deserters and skedadlers
voted the Republican ticket and they and
their friends will not vote to disffanchfse
them. The Adjutant Generals books show
over 1900 deserters Of Ohio soldiers. The
highest army vote the Democratic party
received was only about 4, 900. Counting
these all among the deserters (while we
don't believe one of them Should be3, would
leave $4,000 Republican deserters. Taking
last years vote as d basis, q, 900 voters taxi
en- from the Republ ican and put on the
Democratic vote, woIld carry the State for
the Democracy by nearly 1000 majority
But from past indications the probablema=
Jority for Judge Thurman will be. $4,000

1t pains us exceedingly to have to an
nounce that Hon. Elijah Hise, OF Logan
county, just reelected to Congress, blew
his brains out yesterday With pistol, He
country in a hopeless condition, that he
was powerless for good, ana that conse-
quently7h he did not wish to live longer. -
This is very sad. 1t is a public if not q
national calamity. Judge Hise was every
where recognized as man of extraordina-
ry power. Very few could hold their owp
with him in debate. He was both eloquent
and profound. He was elected to many Inn
portant and highly responsible offices. sc
Judge Hise was not of very genial tenn
perament. He was often gloomy and at
times, almost morose. Yet he was man of
truth and sincerity and stern principles
Itfwas not well ia him to desert, in the aw
fif way he has done, TIE sacred trust con-
fided to him by his fellow-citizens in the
present fearful condition of the country

MY DEAR SIR: Ifully agree
with yon in regard to our political pros
poets this fall. Why should we not be
hopeful p With military government es4
tablished by the rev0lutionists over ten
States ofthis Union, in contraventfond not
only of the express provisions OF the Com
stitution butof every principle of free gov
ernfnent. With National, debt too grew
ious to be borne, and the rich exempt from
its burthens. With new Offices created to
give place to hungry partizans at the ex-
pense of the laboring class. With million
of negro paupers supported at Government
expense, to the neglect and even rejection
Of white s0ldiery, laud, as If determined to
add insult to injury, the Radical Legisla-
ture OF Ohio submitting to the electors a
proposition to .enfranchise the negro and
disfranchise large number of the white
soldiers. who fought through the entire re-
bellion for the Union of all the States, and
with a request that we shall vote our own
degradation. ,slars1i1o-f .-,.saf 5il...t-..ss.-
With these and many other questions
now pending before the people of Ohio,
who can doubt the result, If we but half do
our duty. = with Judge Thurman at
the head of our ticket, a1d the ConstituL

a proper exertion upOn our part, must

The Rev. HENRY WARD BEEcHKR,. the
great apostle OF Radicalism and one of the
great leaders of New England fanaticism,
has commenced the publication Of q ro-
nance ensitled %Norwood." ~ "
The reading public can Judge of the lit
erary character of the production from a
few brief quotations.
The scene Is picture Of New England.
The principal characters are '.ABIAH CATH

thus aescfibes their journey from the New
England church to the home Of "RACHEL -
"The great elm trees sighed as the fitful
breeze swept their tops. The soft shadows
fitted back and forth beneath the walkers
feet, fell upon them in light and dark, ran
over the ground, quivered, and shook, un-
til sober Cathcart thought that his heart
WAS throwing its shifting network of hope
and fear along the ground before him!
\ How strangely his voice sounded to him
Jas. at length, all his emotions could only
say, "Racnel-how did You like the SER
mon? ?" - ss~S.-~ n~-FH A~@.s

"a new commandment Iwrite unto you,
that ye love one another Rachel, will
you help me keep it ?"
At first, she locked down and lost a little
color; then, raising her face, she turned
upon him her large eyes, with look both
clear and tender. It was as If some pain
ful restraint had given way, and her eyes
blOssomed into full beauty"
Is there class of light literature, lighter
But such Is Che course cS r Of those that de-
part from the pulpit to the political arena.
The next step is to the walks Of fiction
and folly.
The Reverend gentleman, however,
speaks some very important truths in the
opening of his "storY."
He says:
"The lower class of New England vii
lage Is chiefly composed of the hangers-on
-fhOee nwhOs are ignofanteand imbecile,
and especially those who, for want of moral
health, have sunk, like sediment, to the
bottom. Perhaps nowhere in the world
can be found more unlovelv wickedness-a
malignant, bitter, tenacious hatred of
good-than in New England"

the condition of the lower classes in other
localities and pointing'to herself as an ex-
ample of purity, intelligence. and prosper
ity, and yet nowhere in the world can be
found more unlovely wickedness-a malig-
nant, bitter, tenacious hatred of good
than in New England"
This is full and comprehensive expla-
nation of New England religion and poll
ties, and when we reflect that thelpeople
Of the North were so far forgetful of their
Intelligence as tofoliow New England poll
ticians and story soriters, our past and pres
ent calamities are fully and satisfactorily
accounted for.

ILIixembure Ouestion.


If France is negotiatin g for this cession
of Luxemburg, one of three things must
happen. Either Prussia will refuse to eVaer
uate the fortress which she holds, and win
thus pat her veto on an acquisition which
we desire, and then it will be a disgrace Or
aiwaf; or Prussia will consent to retire5on
conditions-one of which fer example, will
besthe IdismantlingF of the fortress which
condition will not only deprive the acquisi-
ton of its value but will add
thereto an s, INSULT or, U finally, from
an excess OF condescension to which we
have not been accustomed at the hands of
M. de Bismarck hitherto. Prussia will yield
Luxemburg aud the fortress to US purely
and simply, and in our opinion this las
resolution would mot be the least hurtful
one to our national pride. We cannot, it
appears to us, see without irritation, the
negotiation between France and a neigh
borin ng Sovereign made to depend on a veto
or placet Of M .1de Bismarck.-Le Temps,
March 30 ss1 ,1s43d ,.3S .affW EoliiW hGG
France has no desire. to threaten the in
iterests of Germany, or to bring her honor
n to question. France has no warlike ten
dency, but solely deep sense OF what is
just and equitable. Now it would be
neither just nor equitable that Prussia,
after having achieved her great conquests
without obstacle, should jealously watch
the smallest acquisition that might be de-
sired by her neighbors, not in the interest
of ambition, but of security Constitution

,s We noticed q few days since the
Coifrief., claimed one Z j., ssR., Marsh, b
former proprietor OF the Stacy House,
to be an Illegal voter for General
Morgan. The true state Of the. case is
that Mr.. Marsh was not a clerk in the
Stacy House, but an equal partner and one
of the proprietors.' His family did not re-
side in another county, but here, and were
only absent on a visit at the time, of the
election. Mr.. Marsh had sold out his in
terest in the hotel a. few days before the
election, but then had not even the Intention
of leaving this city, and his rresidenceSwas
as truly here as that ref any man.. All this
will yet be made to appear. But for the 70
votes which henCou1ier of last night claim
ed TO be made for Delano, there is not a
shadow of evidence to warrant the opera
tion, with the exception of half dozen.
20 The investigation on the part of Delauo
has proved a perfect farce, and General
Morgan can and will show ten illegal votes
cast for Delano, to every one which Delano
has shown to be cast for Gen. Morgan The
