"YOu Tickle me, and I'll Tickle
YOU"

This is a game of the Abolition editors,
played with much zeal, but sometimes over
done, as in the case of the Eaton Regisier
attempting to tickle the Journal of this
city on the recent election. The Register
says: "The Union men of Montgomery
may thank the Journal for being instru-
mental in bringing about the great change
in that county, = > : "By mon
ster strokes that smashed in the ribs of the
Nallandigham Democracy Union men,"
that's pretty good for the diSunionists of
the Journal stripe. But in what have they
cause for rejoicing? Not, certainly, in
any result in the county this spring. Not,
certainly, from the late election in this
city, wherein the Democrats gained tcO
Councilmen, and carried about half the
Wards of the city. Notwithstanding the
JomuaIS friends gcrrymandcrcd the city
to suit themselves about two years ago. II
Isl pleasant little gain to them. we doubt
not, however, and they are welcome to in
dulgc themselves with 'poking each other
in the ribs and Cycling now, about next
fall the probabilities are, they will be too
sore to laugh much, and a gentle punch in
the ribs will be likely to cause more pain
than they will like to endure. Indulge
your propenSities, gentlemen.

A CASE OF "LOYALTY"--Sl8,450 IN ISSUE,
The Superior Court of Cincinnati, has an
interesting ease before it, growing out OF

Alfred j. NJ. Brown VS.. WI. Mast. II. j,

The plaintiff says that in August, 1864,
the defendants entered into a contract with
him to obtain for them forty-One men rs
credits to relieve Union township, Miami
county, from the draft, for each of which
he was to receive $50, making in all $lS,-

drawn by the defendants.
He procured the men ut great expense

PENDANTS would not take the men. He
therefore sues for $lS,450.
The defendants deny ever having made
q contract with the plaintiff, or having au-
thOriZed any one else to do so. They deny
having deposited money as charged by the
plaintiff, in the bank at Dayton, and they
also deny that Brown ever procured fol

SUICIDE FROM LoVE-DIsAPPOINTMENT AT
SIXTY.-The Cincinnati Gazette of Friday
morning gave the particulars of the sui
eide of DIR. lIARKEE, a physician living near
Goshen, Columbiana County, and n minis
ter of the United Brethren persuasion-a
over for some years, a respectable citizen ,
the father of grown-up children, and the
possessor of a comfortable property.
Grown weary of his desolatcness, he had
looked around for some one to cheer his
gloomy household, and had found one
willing, in the person of Il respectable wild
ow, living in the neighborhood. The day
appointed for the marriage, invitations
were sent to n large number Of relatives
and friends, and day before yesterday should
have witnessed the happy occasion, but, in
stead, the marriage company followed the
old gentleman to his premature grave. Hi,
son had so strongly demonstrated against
the union that the old man poisoned him,
self during the night, and was found in d
dying state in the morning. He left a let.
ter, stating that he had always considered
himself a strong-minded man, but that, as
with many other men, the time had com
when he was obliged to succumb; circum-
stances had overpowered him. He wrot,
that he wished his watch to be given to his
intended bride, and that lie wanted to bt
buried in his wedding clothes.

lHE SOLDIERS HITE SULPHUR
SPR1NGs.-The Cincinnati Commercial, of
this morning. says: Captain Miller, of the
Burnet House, received yesterday II dis
patch from John II. Ferry, proprietor of
the White sulphur Springs, now in Wash
ington, informing him that the Govern
mem had finally purchased the Springs
property, for a Soldiers Home.
This is, probably, as judicious a selec-
ton, for such a purpose, as could have been
chosen. 1t is delightfully."- situated, as all
plcasure-seekers, who nave ever been there,
well know, in a healthy location and far
enough from the busy haunts of cities
sixteen miles about, from Columbus--to
preserve for the veteran invalids, who will
enjoy its paternal care, that peace and
quiet which are so essential to invalid life.
The price is not stated.
BY our Washington dispatches we OBJ
serve that the Board of Managers of the
National Asylum for disabled soldiers met
there yesterday. The old officers were re-
elected. Three Asylums will hereafter be
opened to all disabled volunteers. Nearly
l 200 soldiers have been cared for or assisted
by the National Asylum within the last
quarter.
An Executive Committee to take charge
of the Asylums and administer outdoor
relief, was appointed for the year, consist
ing of General Butler, Governor Smyth,
Mr.. Gunckle, and General M%artindale.
The reports show that the number of dis
abled soldiers having neither money, homes
nor friends, is much larger than was sup
posed but the Board determined to make
full and ample provision for all. A fund,
estimated ut $5,00O,0OO, was placed by Con-
grGSs in their hands for this Durpose.

RIVER NEWS.

The RIVER was rising rapidly last
night, with about twenty-six feet of
water.
The Hudson, Capt. Russell, Clerk VIM.
n. List, is the Cincinnati packet for to-
day. For passenger and freight accomo-
dations she is hard to beat.
A special agent has been appointed
by authority at Washington, whose duty
it will bc 10 inquire into the
many serious charges lately made
against the various district supervising
inspectors. This appointment will be
hailed with pleasure by the steamboat
men Of the West.
On Tuesday the Ohio river reached q
depth of fifty feet eight inches in the
channel, leaving space of ffty-two
feet under the bridge at Cincinnati.
The Pittsburg Commercial of yestcr-
day says:
Dispatches received at this Office last
evening report a large food in this
stream at Morgantown. The rise up to
6 p. II. was eighteen feet; at Greensboro
fifteen feet; at Brownsville there were
twenty four feet and rising fast; at
Monongahela City the river was rising
ten inches per hour. This will give a
big river. On the landing trade was
not very brisk. ....
THE ALLEGHENY RIvEE.-The marks
last evening indicated over fifteen feet:
Trade ut the landing between the Hand
and st. Clair street bridges, was active.

u at more barbarous use OF his advan-
tage than the North will make Of hers,
by the adoption of the policy proposed.
If in our great woe of defeat We had
been handed over to devils for torture,
their cruelties would have been mercies
compared to the treatment now threat
eued by men who swore on their honor
that if we would lay down our arms
they would receive us as brethren, and
who swear on the Holy Evangelist that
they will observe the constitutional
compact.
1t is vain, it is idle, it is foolish, to
expect to establish quiet and content
ment by the policy recommended. If
adopted, it embarks the country neces-
sarily on an indefinite period of turbu-
lence and unrest. Every sensible man
must know that thenceforth We could
have no peace save in the shadow OF
camps; that prosperity and industry
would be blighted and destroyed. Inc
question of reconstruction, such as the
country wants, is no Gordian knot to be
united by q sword-stroke.
We entreat the men of the North to
take counsel of their own knowledge OF
human nature-t0 consult their inter
ests-to remember their oaths and en-
gagements-in their dealings with the
South. If they will not admit us to
our privileges at Washington, at least
leave us to peace in our own local af-
fairs. Let the Samson when they have
captured and whose eyes they have put
out, be useful in the mill, instead Of
making of him an occasion of general
calamity.

A Hopeful View.

The impression seems to he gradually
spreading that the intense Radicalism
heretofore dominant throughout the
country is fast losing ground. Indica-
tions TO this effect are seen in many di-
rrctions, and the evident uneasincss oi
many Radical leaders shows them to be
fearful of the future. We are daily in re-
ceipt of letters from leading Conserva-
tive gentlemen throughout the country,
all breathing the SAME spirit Of conf
d.nce in the final satisfactory adjust
ment of our political troubles, even
though, rs would sometimes appear, the
tine be long delayed. The following
extract from Il private letter, penned by
one of the most prominent, influential
and best-informed gentlemen of our
STATE. will Illustrate the hopefulness
with which many of our best thinkers
are disposed to view the political situa-
ton:
Wicked rs are the arts ofthe dominant
marty of our country, do not know
whether the patriot may not rejoice at
thr r.cklessncss which they are exhib-
itiuu in our national and State Legis-
lo,nrrs. Nav we not now look for that
reaction which one of the ablest OF mod
ern historians insists Is sure to come
from the operations of that vast and
precuant principle: namely, that bad
Government. bad laws, or laws badly
administered, are, indeed, extremely in-
inriors ut the time, but can produce no
PERMANENT mischief; i'll other words,
they may harm country, but can never
ruin IL. As long rs the people are sound
there is life, and while there is life there
wi,l be Il reaction. In such case tyran-
ny provokes rebellion, and despotism
causes freedom. But if the people are
un,onnd. all hope is gone, and the ma
tion perishes. Applying the principle
10 a country which temporarily suffered
from as bad an administration of gov
prnment as that which atfticts us just
now. hr says, predicating courageous
love of liberty in the people: The des.
tiny of the nation was safe. 1t might
be- injured. insulted and trampled upon.
II might he harmed in various ways;
hnt the greater the harm the surer the
remedy, because the higher the spirit OF
the country would be aroused. llthat
was needed was q little more time, and
a little more provocation." Do our peo.
ple need any more provocationf Will
the cam,ls back of patience bear
smother hair' All depends on the
soundness of the people. Our rulers
manifestly presume on their unsound-
ness, and are hurrying the day OF retri-
button.
