Andrs, Johnson,s Courage.

The Cincinnati Commercial favors its
readers with the following anecdote, by
way of accounting for the uncertain
movements, or rather lack of movement,
on the part of A. Johnson, late of Ten
nessee:
Andrew has the power to do deal of
mischief, but he lacks the nerve. Obsti-
nate as a mule in his opinions, he is as
unstable as water in his actions. No
amount of public condemnation will
change his views; no victories, indorse-
ments, or encouragement will induce
him TO act. If his ends could be accom-
! plished by long talks, something would
! be done. True, he removed Stanton,
| Sheridan and Sickles; but in the first
| instance he complied with the law he
pronounced unconstitutional, and shield
ed himself under Gen. Grant. In the
next, he was careful to say that he re-
moved these commanders for personal
disrespect TO himself, and by attempting
to replace Sheridan by Thomas, tried to
save himself from charge of obstruct-
ing the laws of Congress. The secret of
all this may be found in the mans lack
of pluck. For example, during the Bu-
ell Commission, Andrew, then military
Governor of Tennessee, charged General
Buell. with being traitor, for that Buell.
had attempted to evacuate Nashville,
and was prevented only by the active in
reference of said Andrew. This Buell.
pronounced false, and yet the Judge Ad-
vocate of the Commission could never
get the vociferous and patriotic Andrew
into court to face Don Carlos. And when,
at last, the witness, Andrew aforesaid,
sent in his deposition, Gen. Buell., in a
published defense, pronounced it false,
and its deponent perjured scoundrel.-
OF the perjury we may have doubts, but
of the lack of pluck there is no question
A little circumstance occurred in Gin
cinnati highly illustrative of this fact
While the Commission was i'm session
johnson passed one night at the Burnct
House, on his way to Washington. The
night of his arrival he was serenaded.
and in his speech responding to the COM
pliment, he INDUCED in bitter denun-
citation of traitors. The crowd gave the
attack significance by crying out "Bu-
ell" Buell. and johnson assented.-
The little game-cock of Shiloh stood with
arms folded at his window, i'm a group
of friends, listening to this pleasant dra-
ma. The next morning Gov Andrew
Johnson entered the dining-hall for
breakfast, and seated himself half way
down, with his back to the wall, facing
the guests who were breakfasting. In a
few minutes, and before Andrew could
be served, Gen. Buell. made his appear
ance, marching into the hall in full regi-
mentals, with his sword canking at his
heels, to show that he was not under ar
rest, and followed by two aids, he paused
for moment, as he laid down his hat
and gloves. The air seemed heavy in an
instant with tidings of a coming scene.

ed, and the very walters stopped their

The New Albany Commercial says
that a belief has grown up in daily news
paper offices that eternal beatitude awaits
the faithful publisher and printer when,
having closed his last form, he passes
over the dark waters that roll between
time and eternity. The belief is found
ed on the fact that amy editor who works
faithfully at his profession in this world,
sees and feels enough of hell to last him
through all eternity. We solemnly sub
scribe to the doctrine. The great law of
compensation that pervades all nature,
sustains It, Cheered and soothed with
this faith we plod along, content to bear
the slings and sorrows of outrageous
fortune In the certain hope of final rest
in that comfortable country where slow
gas factories, lazy mail agents, extortion-
ate telegraph companies and libel suits
are alike unknown.

WE hear great deal said now among
Copperheads about negro suffrage being
dead and buried. 1t is true that the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
was voted down, but II the weak brothers
In our own ranks who aided to produce
that result and the advocates OF class
legislation In the Democratic party think
that this Is the end of the principle OF
impartial suffrage they very greatly de-
ceive themselves. A proposition 30
clearly right and just that its opponents
could not or did not dare to produce an
argument against, except such as were
based upon prejudice, passion or selfish
ness, Is not to be settled or disposed OF
by defeat so obtained. II these men
will but reflect that this proposition, the
first time II was ever presented 10 the
people Of Ohio, received more votes than
were ever pOlled by the Democratic par
ty a; any previous election, and that, too,
after timorous campaign In which one
half of the men who really favored the
proposition had not the courage boldly
to advocate It, they will see in the result
the clear and encouraging evidences OF
it's ultimate, overwhelming triumph,
rather than of It's permanent defeat
We say to these men-weak-kneed Re
pnblieans and republican-hating Demo
crats--your triumphwill beof short dura'
tion. The Constitutional Amendment
raneiyed over 2l6, 900 votes In Ohio. More

Funny Incident.

A singular incident occurred i'm the
Cork theatre during performance OF
| Norma. Cruvelli was the prime donna.
! 1t was matter of difficulty to find two
children to represent Norma's offspring.
At length the carpenter of the theatre
volunteered his two little daughters to
perform the important parts. Their
mother accordingly brought them to the
theatre. They were dressed, and instruct
ed how to conduct themselves upon the
stage. Before the commencement of the
second act, they were placed upon the
couch in Norma's dwelling-a hallway
rug, l remember, doing service for the
skins of wild animals on which Norma is
supposed to recline. The parents talked
to them long and seriously, petted and
behavior. There they lay in fear and
trembling as the curtain drew up. The
number of people in the house, the glare
of the gas-lamps, the applause and shout
ing of the audience, alarmed them. The
mother and father at the side scenes en-
forced obedience to the commands already
given by the most expressive gestures
The band played loudly, and Norma ad-
vanced to the footlights, giving vent to
her feelings I'm violent recitative. Dag
ger in hand she rushed up to the couch.
This proved too much for the children,
already nearly frightened to death. They
gave a shrek, tumbled off'the couch, and
toddled as fast as their little legs would
carry them Off the stage into their moth
er's arms. Cruvelli sat down for few
minutes on the railway rug to recover
herself from the convulsions of laughter
which the crisis had caused her and the
audience.-[ Southern Journal of Music.

THE AFFIDAVIT.
STATE OF ONO VINToN, Co.,

STATE OF OHIO VINToN, Co., IS:
Before me, William ID. Higgins, one
of the Justices of the Peace in and for
said County, personally appeared one
John Henderson who being sworn ac-
cording to law depOseth and saith that,
on or about the 10Th day of April, 1866,
and for some time previous thereto, he
had been and was well and intimately
acquainted with one George White then
and before that time well and personally;
that the said George White was at the
said time physically afflicted with a
disease known as consumption that the
said George White was legal voter in
Madison Township, Vinton Co., Ohio,
and was known by his political principles
as Democrat. That the said George
White deceased, and this affiant were
particularand ultimate friends, and about
one week previous to the death of said
George White, said deceased sent for this
ailiant to come and see him, and during
the interview between this affiant and
said George White, the said George
White deceased as upon his dying bed,
made the following statements and dec
larations: l belong to the Knights of
| the Golden Circle. They took me up q
long dark hollow; when we got there
they wanted me to take an oath to kill
a man. / said | would not do it, and
left them. He said on his dying bed that
myself j. G. VIII and the Sands boys
and every Republican in the town of
Zaleski was marked, and each member
of the said Circle had his man picked
out whom he was to kill. Then the said
George Whites strength failed, and he
told me to come again and he would tell
me all about it. l went back and he was
not able to talk about it. And further
this deponent sayeth not.

X. G. C's sworn TO XIII Union Mep--Each
knight has HIS Man Picked Out.

IANESvILLE, o., Nov. 8, 1867.
EDS. COURIER: The following affidavit
is taken from the Zaleski Echo, an inde-
pendent paper, and is clear exposition
of the designs which would have been
carried out by that reasonable Copper
head order, the ''Knight's of the Golden
Circle" had its cowardly, sneaking
members possessed the nerve to do so.-
The affiant, Mr.. John Henderson, was
raised near Norwich in this County, and
his acquaintances can testify that he is q
man of unquestioned veracity. This
cowardly organization, whichis sample
of the dirtiest scum of creation, is COM
posed of adherents to a party which,
having opposed the restoration of the
Union and encouraged its enemies in the
hour of national peril would now in a
sneaking manner, repudiate the nation
al debt and send to Congress the instiga-
tors of the rebellion to make laws for the
widows and Orphans of our soldiers who
were starved to death at Andersonville.
Let the people remember the records of
the two parties and judge which is right.

THE Toledo Blade says that two men
captured largo deer in the river near
that place Wednesday morning. 1t is
supposed the animal had been chased
into the water from the other side, at a
very early hour in the morning, and
swimming to this side was frightened
and turned back, and as he neared the
south shore he was captured. The Blade
says: A few years ago, the taking Of a
deer In the river WAS not an uncommon
occurrence, but since the woods dlsap-
peared along the bank IL IL seldom that
deer are seen either in the river or near 1t.
