DECAMPED-A week ago last Saturday an
individual named Marcus Vaughn, who
claimed to reside at New Lisbon, Linn coun-
ty, came to this city and hired span of
horses and wagon, of colored man named
Cato Biggs, for the ostensible purpose of 60
ing to New Lisbon and bringing his family
here. He was to be back by Wednesday, but
since his departure nothing has been heard
of him. There is but little doubt but the team
and vehicle have been stolen. Mr.. Biggs,
the loser of the property, is a cripple, and
has no other means of support save by the
employment of his team and the loss falls
heavily upon him. Vaughn is described as
medium sized 4, an, of middle age, with chin
whiskers, brown hair, and being bald-headed.
The team may be described as follows: A
black horse, about seven years old, with bald
face, spot on left hip, and carrying himself
well; and gray mare, eight years old, of
medium size, and with foal. A suitable
reward will be paid for the recovery of the
property and the apprehension of the thief.

The Responsibility for the Andersonvills
Prisoners.

The Washington National Latelligencer,
which was always conservative war paper,
thus alludes to the ri diculous falsehood of
the radical press, that Jefferson Davis was
responsible for the ill-treatment of our prison.
'ers at Andersonville. 1t says:
at was not jeff Davis that Starved Union
prisoners, but the Government of Abraham
Lincoln. Davis did the best he could for
them in the exhausted condition of his coun-
try, and warned their Government over and
over again that they were suffering and it
could not be helped. He pleaded for an ex-
change, man for man, and then for an ex-
change, of the sick, which he even offered to
send home without any return of southern
prisoners, but all appeals fell hfeless upon
the cold ears of heartless government. 1t
refused to come to the relief of its own suff
ering and dying soldiers, and preferred they
should remain in prison and be held to eat out
the substance of the south. These are facts,
unanswerable, damning facts, and they viii
rise up in Judgment against the revilers of
the south, sooner or later"

The New Bounty Bill.

The new bounty bill passed in the expiring
hours the lateCongress,it synopsis before us
represents its provisions correctly, is worse
than the bill Of the former session, which il pre-
tends to perfect" II provides, in computing
the amount of bounty at eight and one third
collars per month, that the amount paid the
enlisted man by any state, county, city, town
or voluntary association shall be deducted
from the amount found due from the United
States. Thus soldier from La Sale county,
who received 500 bounty, and served three
years, gets $500 additional, but soldier from
this county who received $500 bounty and
served three years, gets no additional bounty
This is fair enough SO far as the soldier is con-
cerned; but upon cities, countless towns, &c,
that made heavy sacrifices and incurred large
Indebtedness to raise means for paying boun-
ties, it operates unjustly and oppressively.-
Thus many counties in this state never paid
over $50 bounty; others 800 and Others 5000
to $500. BY the provisions of this bill, La
Sale and other counties that paid high boun-
ties are virtually taxed to make up the small
bounties paid by other counties, cities, &c.
The bill was evidently gotten up for the bene-
nit OF the east, where the cities, counties, &c,
IN very rare instances, paid bounties, but by
allowing the draft to 60 on, compelled indi-
viduals to buy substitutes, most Of whom
were the worst class of bounty jumpers. '
IL Is right and fair to equalize the boun-
| ties between the soldiers, but il il also no
more than fair that, II the soldiers were
worth $500 each in addition to their regular
pay Tor three years service, or in proportion
Tor longer or shorter period, that the gov.
eminent should pay the whole bounty, and
that sacrifices made Ivy states, counties, &C.
should also be equalized ~

Police Matters.

A case in reference to which the people Of the
town OF Grand Rapids appear to have a good deal
of feeling, was tried before Justice Leavens on
Tuesday. 1t was the case of which mention was
made in the proceedings of the Board of Super
visors, referring to the ill-treatment of bow
named John Sheridan by farmer named Patrick
H. Mccormick. The latter had taken the bow
"to raise" but it was in proof before the Justice
had treated him brutally. One instance was
stated, where the hoy, on very cold morning in
winter, was compelled to carry corn to the pigs
in his bare feet, and not moving as rapidly as
Mccormick thought he should was beaten vio-
lently over the head with fence board McCor-
mick was fined $25 and costs for this assault,
and other complaints in the same case are still
pending.
The only other "police" suit we have to re-
cord is one that failed to come to trial Hugh
hlntz' on Saturday, entered complaint against
Tim. Mahony for assault and battery, and seemed
to have very good case indeed, as his right
pepper bore every evidence of having undergone
severe battering. But process having been served
on Mahony, he appeared forthwith, and made
preparations for vigorous defence In short,
he claimed to have abundant grounds for justifi-
cation-among others, that Kintz had behaved
most rudely to his wife, who was in most in
teresting situation giving her bad fright and
shaking her, so that next day she presented her
"lord" with young daughter, whereas, but for
her Entertainment by the plaintiff, Mr.. Mahony
was well persuaded it would have been boy.
On this Kintz abandoned his suit incontnentiy
and sloped.

of two bridges across the main canal at Ottawa,
