BUTLER AND BINGHAM.-Butler, the
Beast, and Bingham, from this State, had
word set to in Congress on the 2lst.-
Bingham twitted Butler with having
voted 81 times for Jeff. Davis in the
Charleston Convention and insinuated
very strongly that he was no great shakes
of a General. In reply Butler plainly
charged that Bingham was in a great de"
gree responsible for the execution of Mrs.
Surratt, whom he regarded as an inno-
cent woman. We have feeling Of per"
feet impartiality for these gentlemen, and
therefore are willing to believe them fully
as bad as they represent each other. AS
Congress is now held to be the Govern =
ment by the majority, and these men be-
long to that maj ajority, all the people have
to do to ascertain why it is that the times
are so mournful, is to turn to the Bible,

The most extraordinary freak Of ma. ma
turoe we have lately seen, was exhibited
to us last Tuesday, by Mr.. Abel JolliH,
Of Plain township, says the Wayn Counr
ty Democrat. A double pig. The hip
der parts we're completely joined together
in the middle of the body as ONE; from
the back were two legs and below two
eight legs in all; the head as any Ordi-
nary hog, except that it had four nostrllss;
two tongues, two mouths and two sets oi y
laws. On examination, BY an eminent
physician Of Wooster, it was found to
have but one heart and lungs. II is a
strange curiosity, and one worth preAerv-
inc for scientific investigation.

Thurman Hall,
Columbus March 20, 1867. !
At a meeting of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee held to-day, the following
resolutions were adopted:
/, Resolued, That in the opinion of this
committee Democratic Convention of del
egates from all the States should be held
this year, not later than the 4th day of July,
and Louisville, Kentucky, is tho most eligible
place for holding the same, yet, in our opin-
ion, May 7th is too early a day for the as
sembliug thereof. Nevertheless, if the other
Sta tes concur in that day and appoint dele
gates, our Executive Committee shall provide
for the selection Of delegates from Ohio,
q. ResOIved, That the Chairman of this
committee communicate the above resolu-
ton to the Central Committees Of the sew
eral States, aud to the Chairman Of the
National Committee.

THE Columbus Crisis says the Grand
Army of the Republic is preparing an
assault upon the Treasury; loyalty pre-
walls and the county is going to the
devil on steady dog trot. Moonshine
in patriotism; hypocrisy in religion;
humbug in politics; butohery in philan'
thropy: madness in finance; stagnation
in business, paralysis in industry; dis
order in the present, misery and anarchy
in the coming time-these constitute the
order of the day, are the prospects Of the
future.

To MEASURE CORN IN THE CR1B.--It
is generally estimated that two Cubic feel
Of good, sound, dry corn in the ear will
make a bushel Of shelled corn. To get
the quantity of shelled corn in crib Of
corn in the ear, measure the length,
breadth and hight Of the crib inside
multiply the length by the breadth, and
the product by the hight Of the corn;
then divide the result by two, and you
have the number Of bushels of sbelled
corn in the crib. There is difference in
measuring corn in this mode between fall
and spring, because it shrinks very much
in the winter and spring and settles
down.

THINK OF IT.-The people Of the
State Of Ohio last year paid over seventy
million dollars United States and State
taxes. The highest amount ever expen-
ded in carrying on the NaiO nal Govern.
ment under Democratic rule was about
seventy five. million dollars. So it will
be seen that Ohio alone pays nearly as
much tax now under Radical rule as the
United States did under DemoCratiS
adminiutratluu, Yet these camO Rade
tell US we are prosperous people and
can afford to pay iigh taxes. Twenty
FIVE million dollars have already been
appropriated to the negro bureau for the
current year, and now tie managers OF
the institution are clamorcus for fifteen
millions more. OF course they will get
il. The dear people are paying for their
ssloyal' whistle.-[ Northwest.
