The WASHINGTON correspondent of tb

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial is responsible for
the following item: There is report
that in case of an impeachment, Hon.
John A. Bingham will appear among the
counsel for the defence. 1t originated in
an assertion made by Mr.. Bingham to a
number Of his radical friends. that if they
impeached the President, he Bingham
would resign his seat in the House for a
fee Of SIC, 900, and defend him before the
Senate"
Of course he would. There is hardly
a radical in the rump that would mt
Twenty thousand dollars would buy al.
most any of them, from Stevens, down to
Spoon Butler.

Prentice is poking fun at the radicals.
He says they think the legislation of Con-
gress will make the negro what he should
be. They have no doubt that it will
change his wool to Hyperion curls, that
it will give him Roman or Grecian nose,
that it will shorten his heel, scoop out a
hollow in his foot, and impart to him the
odor of "the balm of thousand flowers"
Prentice had better be more guarded
in his criticism of the radical party. He
is not entirely outside of the military juris-
diction of Generals Schofeld and Sickles
Kentucky is disloyal.

Tho Coming Abolition County
Convention.

|
We want to see this convention when i,
assemblies, place itself square on the record
We want no lodging the main issue there
is no middle ground now for radicals tt
take. They must either "6sh or cut bait,
as the saying gees. We wish to call the
attention Of that convention to a few item:
of interest to their party, and see if they
will endorse them as part of their polit
ical creed The first item is in relation tc
the much abused African:
Senator Summers bill proposing that nc
person shall be disqualified from holding
Office on account Of race or color, passed
the Senate by yeas %, nays 5.
We want the convention to either en-.
dorse or repudiate the resolution above
and then another of similar character from
the same source;
Mr.. Sumner introduced bill amending
the charter of Washington city to allow
colored persons to hold office-passed
This we should also like to have them
endorse, as it is in harmony with the ac-
ton of the radical rump. Another:
By Mr.. Robertson-Declaring that no
further issue of bonds of the United States
ought to be made for any purpose not al
ready provided for, except they shall be
subject to taxation for State, county and
municipal purposes, the same as other
property.
BY Mr.. Fallon-Declaring United States
bonds ought to be taxed by authority of
Congress for national purposes, so as to
substantially equalze such taxation and
the average taxation imposed on other
property. \ debate arising. it was laid
over.
The poor taxpayer, who pays the inter-
est on the rich bondholder's bonds, will,
of course, endorse the above, but the rad
icals in the House did not Will the con-
vention endorse it
Another radical item by Mr.. Kelley.
Bills and resolutions were introduced
and offered by MIR. Kelly, declaring valid
the decisions Of military courts and COM
missions made in civil cases, when tried in
the States lately in rebellion, where no civ.
| il courts in operation.
Their attention is specially called to the
following amendment Of Massa Wilson to
the Constitution of the United States:
Mr.. Wilson introduced resolution pro-
posing the following amendment to the
| Constitution of the United States:
made by the United States, or by any
State among its citizens in their civil OF
political rights, on account Of race, color
or previous condition Of servitude.
The men who pay the taxes-the labor
ing men-the northumberland those who
have no United States bonds, and who
have voted the Republican ticket hereto
fore, and who attend that convention may
be asked to endorse the following, which
was passed for the purpose of enfranchis-
ing ignorant negroes, and DISTINGUISHING
intelligent white men
Mr. w IISon introduced Dill apProPri-
ating one million six hundred thousand
dollars for carrying the reconstruction bill
into effect, that being the sum estimated
by the War Department for the purpose.
The above are few of the pet measures
of the rump Congress, and can not be
lodged. We will see how they are receiv-
ed in the coming radical county conven-
ton.

Gold Excitement.

The good people of Northern Ohio are
in the midst of quite an excitement over
the discovery of gold mine in Richiand
County. A correspondent of one of the
Cincinnati papers says that he has seen
specimens found near Bellville, has visited
the locality and ascertained that there is
no mistake about it. Seven.y-fve yards
of dirt were washed and turned out eleven
hundred dollars. Pieces ranging in value
from 50, so to 81 so have been found
The gold was first discovered by DR.. j. j
Austin, returned Californian, who being
struck by the similarity presented here tc
the gulch mines of California, went tc
work prospecting, and found gold in guam
titles that will pay well to work. The cor
respondent concludes his letter as follows
All that is needed to make it pay large
Iy are facilities for extensive working, par
ticularly water supply, which is locally de
ficient. 1t is, however, available by cut
ting a sluice from Clear Creek to the head
of the gulch. a canal or sluice, mile
and half in length, easily constructed
will supply the water needed, and it is the
intention of the company that has leased
the property to construct it at an early
day. Tho property was originally leased
