Hon. GEO. II. PENDLEroN, an URBANA.-
This general mvorite Of the Democracy,
not only Of Ohio but ofthe whole country,
visited Urbaua, on Thursday evening, on
the solicitation Of the Democratic Club,
aud made a public address in the Court
House, which, the Cincinnati Commercial
says, twas crowded to its utmost capacity =
aud the Enquirer says, (both Journals have
ing reporters PRESENT. was crowded with a
splendid audience Of gentlemen and ladies,
of all parties, to listen 10 an address from
the Hon. Geo. II. Pendloton, to the Demo-
cratic Club of that place. The address was
a mastery dissertation upon the general
politics of the country, and the tremendous
changes that have been wrought by the
Radicals In our institutions. 1t was listen
ed to with rapt and marked attention, and
excited universal interest and admiration.
1t greatly increased the high reputation
the speaker had already acquired as an able
statesman aud orator.
We will avail ourselves of another oppor-
tunity to recur to his splendid address.
A SAUCY FELLow.-The Metropolitan
Police Commissioner Of Columbus, having
served notice on one of the present police
force there, that they had graciously chosen
him to continue on in the business, received
the following trite missiye in reply;
" GepHemep-I am Informed that you
have appointed me a police officer under
the law organizing the Metropolitan Police
! g.. A., H.. - H.1t,,lvau . ANLt1a mn,
gratitied to nave the Endorsement of my
conduct ne a police officer, in which capa-
city | have, and am serving by appoint
mpnt from the city authorities directly re-
|sponsible to the people, | can not consent
to accept a position ut the hands of gentle
men who hold their offices in direct Oppo-
sitiou, and in defiance of at least one thou
sand majority of the good people who are
to be affected by the law.
"B. NJ. McEwEN."
Nothing short of the Dry Tortugas should
be visited upon such an audacious specimen
of unmitigated copperhead disloyalty.
DOoMED.-A strong effort has been made
to induce Gov. Cox 20 commute the SEN
tence to death, of young Case, one of the
three condemned murderers OF young Mr..
Hughes, near Cincinnati; to life imprison-
ment. The father of Gen. Grant and a
widowed sister of the culprit have been in
Columbus urging clemency, mainly on the
plea that Case is under sixteen years OF
age, but have failed. He and his two
companions i'll one of the most deliberate
murders that nave occurred will grace the
same gibbet, in the Cincinnati j~ail-yard,
on next Tuesday.
Presentation. George II. Pendleton,
of Cincinnati, and Mr.. Bloss, of the En-
quirer, were in the city to-day, on their re-
turn from Urbana, where Mr.. Pendleton
made a splendid address to a vast assem-
blage of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, OF
all parties, on Thursday evening.
~ In the Odd Fellows procession to-
day, in Cincinnati, the band-wagon, horses
and paraphernalia belonging to Van Am
burgh's Menagerie will constitute promi-
nent features. They were so upon the last
grand parade of the Society, many years
ago.
G8~ A couple of the attaches of the
lDDIllHltlu ittIuOttCs uSslSlIu ny ObnCl PAL
ties, captured, on Saturday last, what they
call an eel, which weighed three and a hal
pounds, and measured two and a half fee
in length. Just as likely as not it was
coPperheadl ugh!
~ The County Commissioner of ole
Butler borrowed of the First National Banl
at Hamilton the sum of $4,000, which viii
be used in the erection of the new suspen-
sion bridge. The loan was secured by thu
bonds of the county, which are made pay
able December 20, 1867.
A RAINY EASTER.-Last Sunday being
wet day, we may fairly calculate, accord
ing to the old established theory, of sever
consecutive rainy Sundays. We shall Sc,
if the clerk of the weather is so set in hi
ways this year.
= Hoes AND DoGs.-Zanesyille, like Day
ton, is sorely infested with %uncountable an
unaccountable numbers of hogs and dogs
