STATES TROOPS DEFIED. i
On Saturday last the citizens OF
Washington county were startled by
the announcement that their sheriff,
l5atemon. IN the discharge Of his official
duty, had beon sho, down by negro
offender. The facts, as reported to us,
are as fellows a negro man by The
name. ofStcphen Gllls had committed
considerable thioying operations in Mar.
TN county, and to escape detection and
punishment, had skrdaddled for WASH
ing'on county, his former home.
y due r"quislion having been made
upon Sheriff Balcman, he proceeded,
with n Tile of United Sia,eo soElcrs, to
arrest GIlls, aud not finding him at
home, searched tie woods, and brnsl,
near his house. where he was fund sc
cret"d. The dem and for surrender was
scornlully laughrd at, and when Shcriil
Ba'eman advanced in discharge of his
duty, he was met by load Of bnckshot
IN the hands OF the negro, even in the
presence Of a squad Of United States
,roops-thc effects OF which, it is sup
hposcd, will result seriously if not fatally
to Mr.. Bateman.
! Owing:o The darkness, The rascal
escaped, and though, wc understand TIC
military turncdiout in force to capture
him, no arrest has yet been made.

WHEN ROSES BLOOM AGAIN.
BY GEORGE ". ELLIoTr.

Ger scattered rosos low the winds arc sighe

Sad spirits through the hn7y nir nre Ay.ug /;
Each dcwdrop scems mouruc,'s tear.
Rich purple gems upon The oak are glowing ;
Gay orange robes are round tho naples
flowing;
Aud all proclaim tho autumn hoar,
Though purple stain and orange hue

in that sweet season when
The 5rooH shall burst his 10y chain,
The green grass carpet DER the plain,
And the roses bloom again.
Chorus:
Though purple stain aud orange hue
Will fade, soon brighter scenes we view,
In that sweet season when
rhr brook shall burst his icy chain,
The Erccn grass carpet Ger the plain,
And roses bloom again.
Fond hopes, alas, to funeral pyrcs now turn

Sadly Within are Ike the sumac burning;
Yet, like the pinr tree graud--

Faith far above The cloudy gloom is pccrine

About daybrcak yesterday morning,

REDUCTION OF THE ARMy. General Grant
has issued an order reducing the effective
ing rendezvous but four principal onos for
each arm Of the service.
To fully understand tho effect Of this
order, 1t should be stated that the maxi.
mum strength Of the army would bo over
10000 men. Its actual per cont. strength,
according to General Grants report, is
about $4,000. This reduction will, thcre-
fore, bring tho strength of tho army down
to about 10000, or 1000 less than The
present aggregate.

PREACHING VS.. PRACTICE.
RADICAL rALsEHoop.


From the Memphis Avaanche.l
The history of the past month has
furnished political anomaly never
before witnessed even in this coun-
try. 1t is that of one great section
resenting the chalice presented to
the lips ofanother. Early in October
the tide commenced turning unmis-
takably in favor of white govern
ment, administered by white men.
The odious proposition to invest the
few negroes of the North with the
elective franchise was rejected with
contempt, and the work then COM
menced has progressed until now the
great States of New York, Pehnsyl-
vania and Ohio stand frmly commit
ted against it. In this connection,
the remarkable spectacle is presented
to Northern men, in the face Of the
stern lesson taught them at the polls
in their own homes, seeking to fasteD
what they themselves rephdiate with
Ioathing upon the people of the
South. While Ohio, Pennsylvan ia,
New York, New Jersey, and other
States, lately largely Radical, spit
upon the pretension of the handful
of negroes in their midst to the ballot,
pure negro governments are being
fastened upon Southern States by
means of infamy unknown even to
the barbaric ages. While the North,
the hot-bed of negro fanaticism, is
saying to the blacks, "Stand back
you are unworthy even to loosen the
iatchets of our Shoes" they are plac;
ing these semi barbarian hordes as
rulers over millions of white men in
the South. The boasted equality is
meaningless farce. The pious Rad.
ical zealots Of the North put finger
and thumb to their noses when CUF.
FEE seeks the welcome of'' man and
brother " in their midst; but they
hesitate not to place the government
of the Southern States in his hands,
and their people at his mercy. They
clap their hands with joy at the re-
suit of the CHASTITY election mockeries
now progressing in the South, but
tell their own more cultivated ne
groes that they have no rights which
white men are required to respect.
This is the force of malice, and af-
fards more striking illustration
than any event yet transpired of the
spirit of RADICALIsM. Never was
the hollowness of its pretenses more
fully exemplified. Never was blatant
more thoroughly exposed.
Never was infamy more shamelessly
practiced. Never was scoundrelism
more hideously developed. Bat the
lay OF reckoning is coming. The
sunlight already struggles to break
through the clouds, and in time will
drive the black bats and bloodseek.

ADDRESS OF THE OHIO DEMO
CRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.

| DEMOCRATIC STATE EXECUTIVE COMAIrrREl
Rooas, CoLuMBus, o., Nov. l, 1867. I
| To the Democracy OF Ohio:
The official returns Of the late cleo.
ton having been received, your State
Executive Committee desires to brief.
ly present the results and to tender
to you the congratulations you so
justly deserve.
You have reduced the Radical ma
jOrity near 10000 in single year.
You have given majorities in ten
ont of the nineteen Congressional
districts. Last year you carried but
three.
You have given majoritiss in q
large number Ofjudicial election dis
tricts that you never carried before.
You have carried forty three coun-
ties to the Radicals forty. three, and
in the remaining two counties, here.
tofOre Radical, the vote is tie.
You have elected a majority In
each branch of the General Assem-
bly-therefore securing the election
of a Democratic United States Sena-
tor in place of Benjamin +. Wade.
And to crown your labOrs the ini-
quitous constitutional amendment;
to enfranchise negroes and disfran-
chise white men, is beaten by q ma
jority of over fifty thousand. These
are grand results, and what makes
them strikingly significant and i'm
portant, is the fact that they are not
owing to Republicans staying away
from the polls. They did not stay
away. They voted aud the proofs
that the aggregate vote is the largest
ever east in the State. But tens of
thousands Of honest men, who for
years had acted with the Republican
party, seeing that their leaders were
fast hurrying the country to destruc-
ton, had the moral courage and pat
riOtism to leave their old associates
and vote the Democratic ticket. Nor
must it he overlooked that you were
better organized than ever before
that you were perfectly united, that
YOU everywhere put in nomination
good and able men. and that your
press, your public speakers, and your
labored with singular en-
ergy and ability, and presented the
truth and justice of your cause with
force. Fellow Democrats, |
you have hopeful future before you.
The grand reaction against despOt
ism gathers strength every day. Al
ready Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and
are in the Democratic col.
umn. Everywhere else, where mill.
tsry despOtism does not prevail, our
party have made immense gains. Let
us, then, with renewed zeal, indus
try and wisdom, and with hopeful
hearts, go forward in the great work
Of rescuing our country from ruin.
