Oh We HHnocrites.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
nsercial writing from Tennessee, describing
the corruption of the Radical party in that
State, says:
ga specimen of the most of the crowd is
W. o. Sizeman, of Roggersville, the head
of the Loyal League, and a successful can
didate, I believe, for the Lower House of
the General Assembly.
"This man, was told on what consider
ed the very best authority. has already
murdered eighteen men, the last victim
being dispatched about two weeks ago.
This man rs hundreds assert, was noto-
rious rebel in the early days of the war,
and helped to murder his own father, the
offense of the latter being, that he was a
Union man."
Now as this is Radical report from a
Radical paper, it is impossible for it to be
rebel falsehood.
What do the Christian Radicals think of
this choice morsel of Radcalism? Does it
prove anything? Are you all in a gang
and so mixed up that the thieves and mur-
derers cannot be distinguished, or are you
all of a kind?
If so, Hon. w. o. S1zEMAN is very fit
head for your loyal league. But frankly.
Radical, which would you prefer to be as
sociated with, JUDAS or SIzEMAN? BROWN
Low or the Devil?
But what worse is SIzEMAN than DAN
SIcKLEs, any more than Dams own sin was
duplicated by him. Murderer SIcKLEs in
the South, Thief BUTLER in Congress, and
the Bloody S1zENAN in the Legislature OF
Tennessee.
Happy family of black cats.
But then whatever is done in the name oi
Radical is loyal, and therefore no sin.
Will the Blue Stockings of the Reserve
take the case of the beloved brother SIZE
MAN under their prayerful consideration
and tell us what they think OF him?
May Deity forgive the Radicals-the
country never can.

Judge Thurman at waverIy.

-
Judge THURMAN opened the campaign
here to-day by the delivery of one of
his ablest addresses. The meeting num-
bered at least 10000 and was the largest
ever assembled in the county, and the
Judges speech was received in a manner
highly gratifying. Ifsuccess depends upon
brilliant opening, then we are sure of a
glorious triumph.
The attendance of Republicans was very
large, and the most gratifying feature ofthe
occasion was, the avowal of many of them OF
their severance from their party. One del
egation, numbering 172, contained ten con-
verts from the Radical faith who are zeal
ously laboring for the success of the Dem
o ,ratic Ticket.
Judge HoLLAM HEMPsTEAD presided, and
was greeted by the audience with lively
demonstrations. His able letter to the
Committee was loudly called for, read, and
received with hearty applause.
A flag was presented to the township
l having the largest delegation in attend
! ance by Miss c. CoLL1NGs, in highly cred
table manner. 1t was received by j. T
MOORE, Esq, in q very appropriate ad-
dress.
1t was proud day for the Democracy o.
Pike.
Hon. j. H. PUTNAM delivered an able ad-
dress which elected applause and was one
of the prominent features of this important
day. The ever true and steadfast Democ'
racy of Pike send to the Democracy of the
other counties of the State, the cheering
news, that if Judge THURMAN's election
depends upon this county performing it,
proportionate share of the work, the De
mocracy can begin now to prepare for hi
inaupuratiOn.

TheJournars Argument.

The journal advocates the formation of
additional States out of Texas-to seize the
lands owned by the State and apportion it
out to whomsoever Congress may choose
to give it. The land of the State, the
Journal claims, belongs to the United
States, because its arms conquered it, and
this would sweep every farm and town lot
in the State.
The thing against this project is the Con-
stitution. First, State cannot be divided
into two or more States without the con-
sent of its Legislature, and secondly. Con-
gress has no power to confiscate the prop
erty of State and none TO conflscate the
real estate of an individual beyond the life
of the owner. The Journal asks who sec.
onds the notion? If that sheet succeeds
in finding second, he will be the second
greatest Ass in the Republic.

WetmOre and COwen-The Radf-
cal Pet still Keeps the Books.


The special telegram to the Cincinnati
Gazette, in speaking OF the contest between
Adjutant General CowEN and WETMoRE,
Gov. Cox's Military Claim Agent at Wash
ington, for the possession OF the books OF
that Office, says:
sThe petitio1 for mandamus, before
Justice Wylie of the District Court, of Gen.
Cowen. OF Ohio, to compel Col. Wetmore
to deliver up his books and vouchers, was
dismissed to-day, and an alternative writ
issued, directing Colonel Wetmore to show
cause on the first Tuesday of September.
On Gen. Hinkle, for Cowen, asking the
Court what would become of the papers in
the meantime, the Court stated that Mr..
WetmoIe's reputation for honor and integ-
rity was very high here in Washington,
and all the papers would be perfectly safe.
The Court also stated that as Mr.. Wet
more was personally y responsible to claim
ants, his vouchers were his personal prop
erty. s-ft .N,
Gen. Governs application to the Pay De-
partment to have Mr.. Wetmore debarred
from appearing there by power of attorney
was referred to the Secretary of War, who
stated peremptorily that no such order
should be issued.
Col. Wetmore has entered suit for libel
against Gen. Cowen, to-day, in the District
Court, for a dispatch sent from this city on
August I'd, to the Governor, and published
on August Sd. The dispatch charges
COL -Wetmore with ''criminal action"
So it seems that WETMoRE keeps possess
sion of every thing until the Courts decide
the matter, and that in the face of thatfact,
Secretary STANTON refuses to debar him
from the right of doing business in the
War Office.
Without possession of the books and pa
pers, we do not see how WETMoRE's ac-
counts can be adjusted, except in the man
ner he wishes, as all the proofs will be in

The President and Secretary of
War-NIr. stanton CIin rs to Office.

The President and Secretary OF
War-NKr. Stanton Clings to Omce.
There is curious muddle at Washing
ton. President JOHNSON has sent notice
to Secretary STANTON that his resignation
as Secretary of War would be thankfully
accepted, to which that functionary return
ed his answer, that the public good required
him to hold on.
Under the practice which has grown up,
there is necessity for cordial feeling
between the President and the heads Of De-
partments, and there should be cordial CO.
operation in public matters. Mr.. STANTON,
Notwithstanding this, makes his election to
hold on to Office, trusting that the "Tenure
of Office" law will enable him to pocket
the salary and still hold on to the power.
AS the Commander-in-C Chief of the Army
of the United States, the power of the
President to direct the Secretary OF War is
as great as that of the Secretary's power
over clerk in his office. In truth, he is
but clerk in the employ of the Govern
uient, although intrusted with more power
than is usually given to that class of ofti-
cials, and yet he holds on to his office,
and refuses to resign when the power that
appointed him tells him that he is no long
er wanted.
Knowing Mr.. STANTON, as we do, of old,
we are confident there are reasons for this
refusal to give up Office, other than those
yet presented. He is proud, domineering,
and is among the last of men, in our judg-
ment, to place himself in situation where
\ h. hn dicIi
was it not that there is a reason, in his
mind, that overrules this.
The residence of Mr.. STANTON in Wash
ington is guarded day and night by armed
soldiers. This we know was the case long
after the war closed, and doubt not it is so
now. During the war, by his order, so
many men were arrested without trial
and without crime and incarcerated in
loathsome prisons, that the Secretary Is
afraid to venture out of his house after
night without squad of soldiers, or to
sleep therein without being watched over
by armed sentinels. He sees an enemy in
every bush, and, unlike the school boy
passing a graveyard at night, he cannot
even whistle to keep his courage up. Out
OF, office, the guard which surrounds his
house withdrawn, Mr.. Edwin M. STAN
TONS life, in his own opinion, would not
be safe.
Although we do not believe that any one
would commit that sort of violence on his
person as to endanger his life, yet as
STANToN's fears are great, he prefers to be
snubbed in office and to do that which, un-
10 9TH, ,airo cto ha
rather than risk the meeting face to face
with men he has injured, without having
assistance near at hand.

Mr.. WILLIAM PENN NIXON, who ranked
as leader of the Negro Suffrage forces in
the last Legislature, on bill to force upon
the city Of Columbus police force, ap-
pointed by power over whom the city
authorities had no control, and thereby in
creasing the taxes of the people, made a
speech, as indeed he did on almost every
subject that come up. In this particular
speech he said that, as general rule, all
cities and communities governed by Re-
publicans were well governed-those con-
trolled by Democrats i'll governed. Gin

In 1856, under Democratic State and
City rule, Cincinnati and the villages of
Hamilton county levied tax for
municipal purposes of S53l, ,72l, which
being economically expended, was
found sufficient for all practical pur-
poses in making needed improvements.
LII 1866, under the rule of the Abo-
lition Ring" which now governs Cincin-
natl, the amount for the same purposes was
increased to s1,753, 1O2-an increase of over
one million dollars Isl, 90, ,3S1) over the
amount raised in 1856.
True, Cincinnati has increased within that
time, but the increase in population has
not kept pace with the fearful increase in

million dollars annually raised in Cincin-

chase of the gas works, if it ever be effect

which will tax the people for light much
more than they now pay, and will-taking

A RECENT letter from Mexico says !:
"Cain himself could not have offered
more affrighted visage on realizing the
murder of his brother, first to the virgin
earth, than the Capital of Mexico since the
trial and execution of Maximilian. Not
even the philippics of the press against the

conviction OF Judicial murder, which, like

A CURIOUS tale is told about the French

A CURIOUS tale is told about the French
when in Mexico. The Mexican General
Porfrio Diaz, in an official communication
dated May Sd of the present year, reports
that the French General Bazaine offered to
sell the Liberal Governmental what time
is not said, but probably as he was leaving
Mexico-six thousand muskets and four
millions OF percussion caps. Also, General
Bazaine offered, under certain conditions
to surrender to the Liberal forces the cit
les held by the French troops, and the per-
sons of Macmillan, Marquee and Mira
mon. If this be true, it certainly indicates
the worst treachery on the part of the
French towards Macmillan.
AS the slate lamented" used to say, this
tale reminds. us of the famed Matamoras
expedition during the late war, which 6
number of our citizens of the most loya
stripe, fitted out to furnish the secesh with
arms, ammunition, ETC., In pay for cotton
to be delivered. A curious world this.
