Think Before You Vote.


The latest dispatches from Washington inform
US that the trouble between the President and
the loyal portion of his C,binet, is daily widen
ing, and assumes a formidable attitude. The
National Union Committee asks, in behalf OF hu-
manity, of disconsolate widows and orphans, and
of the glorious record of California in the past,
to stand firm by the Union party in the present
contest, and not allow our State Government to
pass into the hands OF those who upheld and
aided rebellion. The political horizon betokens
a gloomy future if the so-called Democracy is
again placed in power.
Union men OF Trinity the people at the East
are anxiously watching the result of this elec-
ton. Do not send to them the tidings that we
repudiate the acts of Congress, but let them
know that we are as loyal and true to-day AS in
the past. Let every Union determine that
Trinity at least shall have clear record. Don't
scratch your ticket but vote every man from

who Stole the BrOad-Ax at
Macarthur station.

MR.. EDITOR: About the 25th of
December last, there was q broad-ax
stolen from the Station house at McAr-
Station. which had been sent by express
from hamden, o., to Mr.. James Glenn.
Not long since Mr.. Glenn, BY some cir"
cumstance, was led to suspicion one
William z. Wickline as being the thief.
Evidence accumulating against Wickline,
Glenn concluded to visit the residence of
said gentleman (he being absent from
home at the time) and ''see what he could
soe." He did so, and told Mrs. Wicliue
that "William had sent him for that
broad.ax," She replied that "Wickline
knew she had sent it to SciOtoville. -
That, Of course, was enough for Glenn.
He went to the Express Agent at Scioto
Vile, got his ak, paid the expressage and
came home. He Immediately procured a
warrant and an officer and had willie
arrested and taken before Esquire Craig,
who bound him over in 5000 bonds to
appear at the next term of court. Mr.
6. w. Jackson, of Hamden, is his seCu'
ritv.
Now. the above mentioned W. q
W;ckline, Is evidently q "wolf in sheep'l
clothing for last fall he made severa
stump speeches for the Radicals in thi'
county, and as they are the only 5000
and morality" party in the deld, it il
therefore, very evident that William I'M
been imposing upon their Crodulity.-
Alas, for the imperfectionS Of mankind
Mr.. IsamiDger, the Agent at Near
thur Station, deserves great credit for hi
advice and assistance in the matter. l
MIR, Isaminger had not pushed the matte
ahead as he did, probably Mr.. Glen'
would have been the loOser of broad az
and W z. Wickline would be locke
upon as al honest man still.

speech OF Hon. A. j. Swain.
c, ]. BEAM, Sec'y.

lSpeCCm OA AAOAA' LA' ~ ~ u" sSAAA'
Hon. A. j. SWAIN, Member of the
House of Representatives, from VintOn
County, made tie following remarks in
the House last week, at the time the bill
relating to the Morgan Raid was under
consideration Ha a, .a.
Mr.. SPEAKER 1T is with some de-
gree Of delicacy that approach the sub
Iieet matter contained in the bill now be-
fore this House for consideration, know
ing as l do, that it directly interests but
few members upon this floor; but it is
nevertheless a question, MI, Speaker,
which should claim the attention ofevery
patriotic member in this House. Every
member uponIthis doer is no doubt ac-
quainted with the circumstances which
gave rise to the introduction of this bill.
The causes which gave rise to the intro
duction of a bill Of this character,
transpired at time in the history Of the
country when it was considered that the
sword and the musket were the only
safeguards for the protection of life and
property; hence it was that we find peo-
pie of the great State;of Ohio! collected
together to prepare themselves for the
IryiIg contest. "a 3 We find, however, that
the contest was not met with an entire
success, and the result wa, that hundreds
of helpless women land schildren we're
plundared Of their provisions, and their
property stolen and carried off. This
state OF affairs could have been greatly
prevented, had IL not boon that nearly
every able bodied man in the counties
through which the Morgan raid was
made. had been ordered from their homes
by the authority of the State, or had
enlisted in the service of the Govern
ment. rad 1s
There arc other facts connected with
this question, Mr.. Speaker which justly
entitle these people, in my opinion, to
ask the State Of Ohio to reimburse them
for their property which was cOniscated
during the progress of the Morgan raid.
II is we'll known that all the property
that was taken from private individuals,
not only by the Confederate forces, but
by tie Government troops, ut no very
distant day went into the hands OF the
Government; and even the few old
horses that were left in the hands Of
poor msn, which might have been ol
some service to them, were hunted up by
provost marshals and put into the hands
Of the Government, or appropriated to
their own use. These people have not
only buGared from the loss Of their
property, but upon mere preiense Of the
Governmsnt, that it would pay these
claims. have wasted much Of their sub.
stance in trying to collect them.
I fad, Mr.. Speaker, in examining the
lreport Of the commissioners who wer'
Eappointed by the authority Of the Legis
lature to investigate claims growing oa
Of the Morgan raid, that they have al
Ilowed claims to the amount Of fv'
