Our streets presented busy aspect
yesterday, and reminded one of ante
war times, when the country folks
thronged to town at this season to
make purchases for Christmas. Not
withstanding the pressure Fof the
money market, the merchants were
kept busy during the entire day.

when he has secured his reward and

denied him by the Senate, on the
ground of election frauds in which

POPULAR ERROR.-It has been custom
airy, since our civil war, to style i
the bloodiest one in the history of tho

based on the ancient history will as
touEd some of the uniformed:
At the taking of Jeruselam, by
Titus, 100000 Jews died by slauoh.
ter and with famine.
Marils, in one slaughter of the leu,

900 inhabitants of Se.encio.
Probus put to death 100000 Gauls,
upon reducing their country.
BeliSarvs once had to kill 300 600
people to stop a revolution in the city
of Constantinople.

killed 100000 of the other inhabitants

A new and dangerous counterfeit of

appeared. 1t is almost perfectly in.
graved and well calculated to de-
ceivc the most practiced eye. Upon
close examination it may be detected
by noticing that the scroll work
around the "25," on the upper left
hand corner, touches the fine lines
around the edge of the note which
forms the bordering. while on the
genuine no part of the scroll work
touches the line. When these become
worn and soiled, they will defy de-
lection.

Throughout the country, it is known
as fact that Ex-Vice President, Rich
ard NJ. Johnson lived in open adultry
with a negro woman as black as the
ace of spades. This sweet-scented
spouse of the distinguished Kentucki
an and the leader of the Democratic
party had several little Johnsons who
bore an unmistakable resemblance TO
their illustrious father.
Had Van Buren, died before his
term expired, Col Dick johnson would
have succeeded him; and perhaps his
negro wife would have been mistress
of the White House.
The sore-headed disunion old Dem.
ocrats of this State, who denounce
Union men as in favor of "nepro
equality voted for Col. johnson of
Kentucky for Vice-President, and
knew when they did so that he had a
negro wife and negro children. A
pretty Set of fellows, these rebel Dem
ocrats, to abuse Radicals and charge
them with favoring "negro equality"

The Vienna journals relate a dra-
matte incident at a recent masked
ball in that city. A young couple,
finding their steps constantly logged
by a female figure in black domino,
were about to leave the theatre in
order to escape from the espionage,
when the stranger placed herself be-
fore them and dashed vial of vitriol
in the face of the gentleman. The domi.

proved to be a lady belonging to the
aristocracy, and the wife of the young
man whom she had thus disfgured
she had also just obtained a judicial
separation from him. The face and
neck of the husband were horribly
burnt, and one eye was completely
destroyed. The domino had also
spilled so much of the liquid on her
own arm and hand that amputation
became necessary.

Sketching with a Free Hand.

The following is an extract from
racy description of Senator Wade,
written by "Mack,' of the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"Wade is man not given, [ should
imagine, to close study or diligent
reading, but his intuitions make up
for his deficiency in this respect; they
come to his relief always, and often
serve better purpose than the book
ishness of other men. Sherman is
man ofclose application, student by
habit and inclination, and although he
may have all of Wade's faculty for ex-
temporaneous debate on action, he
lacks selfconfdence to exercise it
Neither Of the Ohio senators can be
called finished orators, or orators OF
any kind in the strict meaning of the
word. But Sherman is good rheto-
rician and a fair reasoner. Wade

effect than his colleague; he relies
less on the force of what he says than

THE VETO MESSAGE.--Th0Se who
have taken the trouble to wade thrO'
this document will see that President
Johnson relies chiefly or three reasons
for his refusal to sign the Reconstruct
ton bill The first is, that the con-
dition of the seeded States is peace
ful and orderly. Now as to that, the
people of the Union prefer to take the
testimony of the high army officers
stationed in that section-such as
Generals SchOheId, Sickles, Thomas,
Baird, Wood and Sheridan. These
mems statements are directed con
Trajectory of the Presidents. and they
give conclusive instances in support
of them. Secondly, the President
draws on his Imagination to depict
the despotic capabilities of the bill.
But so much can always be said against
military rule, which no one would
want to see applied in this country
if it were not deemed absolutely nee
essary. Two things, also, are to be
taken into account: First, the Presi-
dent can select the best officers in the
army for the positions created by this
bill, and keep changing them, if nee
essary, until he gets unexceptionahle
men; and secondly, if the Southern
people don't like this military rule,
the bill provides an easy and fair
method of escape from it to all the i'm
mnnities and blessings of the Union.
The Presidents third and most severe
| ly elaborated objection to the I'LL is
that old standard one, that it is in
violation Of the Constitution. There
is scarcely a reason he presents un-
der this head which was not urged
against the conduct of the war for the
Union. Notwithstanding the sophis-
tries which any ingenious man can III
vent in this connection, the people I'M
derstand the whole subject too well
to be misled by them. They know
that the Constitution was made to
keep the country together and not
to sanction its ruin, and they know,
also, that its sphere is distinct from
that of national war, which has its
own methods and only ends really
when its aims are attained.
But it seems fated that Andrew
johnson should resist to the end the
will of the people who elevated him
to office, and this message is simply
his last demonstration in that line
OF other consequence it has little, for
it was practically dispatched almost
in the moment of its birth.-Boston

instantly and Janin received a mortal
wound of which he soon died. An

the cause.

In a case of whipping by a school
teacher, recently brought before one
OF the Cincinnati courts, it was de-
cided by the Judge that all corporal
punishment in schools, whether modcr-
ate or excessive, is unlawful and of
the nature OF assault and battery
In the opinion of the Judge the power
OF correcting children by personal
chastisements belongs solely to the
parent, and cannot be delegated to a
teacher or any other person.
