Summit county, Ohio, on some business,
o week ago. MRS. Lewis had prepared
a dinner, called her husband, who was
at work, and retired to her room. When
Mr.. Powles entered the house, she, sup
posing it to be her husband, called to
him to sit down and eat. The visitor
obeyed the invitation, ate heartily, was
taken sick Immediately, and died In
two days after-the doctors deciding
that he had been poisoned. Il
We have before noted the complaint
of the London people at the great
amount of food consumed by the last
visiting Belgians. 1t turns ont that the
entertainers used the viands for their
own benefit, sweeping the tables high
and dry. while the Belgians went sup.
PEERLESS to bed. The affair is funny, and
suggests the experience OF little David
Copperfield, while the tavern porter
cleared his breakfast table and sent him
unfed on his journey, but with the rep
utation of an enormous eater.
John w. Smith, the last resident OF
the country of the Crow Indians, who
has Just returned from Fort Phil. Kear-
ney, writes to the Omaha Herald, charg-
ing Judge Kinney, special Indian Agent,
with gross injustice and frauds in his
dealing with the Crow Indians, COM
pelling them to remain in the Sioux
country against their will, for the pur-
pose of securing their trade. Annuities,
to the amount of S25, 900, promised them
years ago, he says, were never paid,
and he claims that the goods sold at
Kinney's store to the Indians were furn-
ished by the Government for free dis
tributiOn.
A Paris paper tells of a gentleman
who, acting under the false assumption
that he was tired of life, recently pro-
ceeded to kill himself a 7 antique. Fan
cying himself Seneca, he ordered a
bath and opened vein. Unfortunate
ly, the vein bled freely, and he, getting
nearer to his latter end, thought that,
after all, he should like to live. He re-
pented, and rang the bell. An intelli-
gent female, who was his femme de man
age, came in and rescued him. He had
opened four veins; she was in despair;
but at last she found in his writing desk
a sheet of penny stamps. She cut the
sheet in quarters, put them on, and
saved her masters life

Choice Revelations.

A recent Washington dispatch to the
Tribune declares that the President has
stated that he will soon begin to give
for publication the private and conf
Dental letters that have been written
to him during the last year from prom
nent Republicans. complimentary and
endorsing him, and asking for appoint
ments to office for their friends. He
will wait until these gentlemen get on
the stump and commence to denounce
him, when he will put forth their pri-
vate views as expressed to him.
Should JOHNSON fulfill the above
mentioned promise we may look for
some rich developments. Ii is in per-
feet keeping with Radical character for
prominent Republicans" to endorse the
President privately and for private pur-
pose, and then to publicly snap at the
baud that fed them. 1t is whispered
that ANDY" has in his possession
bundle OF written pledges from Rad
ical Senators, which, if adhe red to, will
enable him to laugh at all threats OF I'M
peachment. Numerous other docu-
ments of similar purport, from other
loyal" sources. are doubtless in his
possession, and may yet serve to show
M many of the orthodox patriots in
rather ridiculous light. We have
heard Of some touching epistles
from West Virginia, now in the
possession of certain Departments at
Washington, which, if laid before the
public, would he highly entertaining,
10 saw tine least A little more than q
year ago. many leading Radicals
throughout this State, including divers
and sundry exalted personages, not Pres
idential appointees either, expressed
themselves by letter to JOHNSON and
his as the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the "policy." We testify that
we have seen, when we say that the
declarations of these gentlemen, es-
pecially when compared with their acts,
will set forth in a very forcible manner
the mutability of earthly things; in
other words, they will show beyond
Gnestion that the white man is very un-
certain. For the benefit of uncertain
whiteness, we hope the President will
soon give US the first chapter of his
promised revelation.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1867-09-24

for practical purposes, just as dead as
the war. We refer to the President.
These floundering folks would like to
make vast amount of political capital
out of JOHNSON and his acts. They
complain that he meditates resistance
in case of impeachment, and they warn
the people against giving vote, which
may so strengthen JOHNSON in his oppo-
sition to Congress as to cause him to
resist by force all efforts at his displace-
ment. Says the Cincinnati Commercial:
eff johnson does not mean to go to
this extent (forcible resistance) it is
difficult to account for his policy of i'm
peding rather than promoting the exc
cution of the laws of Congress in the
South, and the obstruction, by his in
fluence, of the process of reconstrnc-
ton"
Again:
"That the most deadly civil wars
have grown out of antagonism between
departments of government. is matter
OF history.
And again:
at is hardly worth while TO stop TO
say, that if he attempts to resist the au-
thority of Congress the clash of arms
would be heard Immediately"
The purpose of the article from
which these extracts are made is clear.
1t is intended to invite response in
similar spirit from some Democratic
representative, and from such response
it will be alleged that JOHNSON and
the Democrats are going to plunge the
country into the horrors of another
civil war. E-..r
1t happens, however, that JOHNSON
and the Democratic party are two very
distinct institutions. The Democrats
are not his champions, and they don't
propose to be. THOMSON is impeach-
ed, the impeac hment will be that of a
Republican President. The Republican
party elected aim, and if he is half the
rascal they claim him to be, the fact is
the best evidence of their unftness to
choose rulers for the people. The Dem
ocratic party will not interfere in family
quarrels, nor assume any responsibility
for what goes on under tue roofs of
other people. If the Radical party and
the man of their choice are intent upon
kicking up domestic bobbery, so be it.
That is their affair entirely. The Dem
ocrats are of the opinion that the par
ties to the muss ought to settle it. Hence
no Democratic foot will tread on the
defiant coat-tail which now invites the
attention of the President and his
friends.
1t is only by having nothing to do
with what does not concern either them
selves or the country at large, that the
Democracy can succeed. Wear glad to
see that they are not to be distracted by
foreign or dead issues. They stand Out
as a living party. unvexed by war phan-
toms ard JOHNSON skeletons. Such
relics of the graveyard and the dssect-
ing room belong on the other
side of the house, and we
do not intend to open our
doors for their reception. The anxiety
of the other party to force them upon
.us, argues the desperate nature of the
Radical position, while the constant con-
tempt with which the Democracy are
treating these offerings from the polit-
ical sepulchre, is the assurance of Dem
Ocratic safety and success.

Despernte Remedies for n Desperate
Case.


Clearly the Radicals are being driven
10 the wall. 'The desperate expedlents
10 which they resort, in their endeavors
to carry the pending elections show
plainly the hoplessness of their situa-
ton. In Ohio, for example, they have
not dared to conduct the canvass npon
living issues. They have not dared to
discuss the vital and momentous ques-
lions of the hour. Like starving dogs,
they howl round the tombs and live on
The homes Of the dead.
BY bringing up the fixed and buried
copies connected with the war, and by
making the same speeches and printing
tbe same articles with which they raised
recruits for the army, they are trying to
divert public attention from the great
and pressing issues of the day. They
point the people to the skeletons Of the
past, in order to turn their g'ze away
from the living features Of the present
They invoke the aid of passion by re-
calling the memories of strife, and pro-
pose to solve the great problems OF
peace in the same spirit with which
men grasp the bayonet and the sword
From the beginning of the canvass
