He reioices in the realization Of the fact
that be is an Andy johnson man, and

Of for many years. Lawrenceburg Regis

Gan honest confession is good for the
SOUL it is said, and we are very much
gratlfied to hear that our pleasant friend
Swift has thrown off his prejudices so much
as to acknowledge it. Wonder if he is
not sorry that the District has been chang.
ed so as to deprive him Of the pleasure OF
voting for Judge Holran.- Fraakli,,

ter at the time indicated, but there was no
conversation of q political character, and
the names of neither the President nor
Judge Holman were mentioned or allu-
dsd to on that occasion. He is the more
certain Of the correctness of his recollec
ton of this fact, as Bookwaltcr was in his
normal condition at the time, and the
subject would have been Inappropriate.
"As to his Andy Johnsonism, he is
happy to know it never led him into SYM
pathy or afiiliation with the enemies of
the Union and Of the Union Party, of
which he has always been a jealous, if
humble member. He hbored earnestly
to defeat Judge Holman and elect Col.
Grover, and only regrets that his efforts
were not mere successful"

he was 10 pay him $40 per month. Mr..
Terrill returned home last Friday and some
difficulty occurred Ia the settlement b.
tween the two during the last days Of Last

Of bis boat and that McNecly refused 70
give him possession until Terrill paid him
what he owed him. High words ensued .sBd
then two. having both expected frosbls,
were armed with revolvers. Terrill shea
first and wounded McNeely in the thigh

breast, killing him instantly. They each
had six shooters. Terrill had discharged
three barrels Of his pistol and snapped the

four barrels Of his pistol and had not used

shots were heard on this side Of the river,

The Canvass South.

We clip from an article in the New York
Tribune the following sensible remarks
'Nevcr before was there such urgent
need of wise, considerable, judicious cam
vassers as there il to-day in the South.
They should be thoughtful, loving, noble,
generous men, who know what to leave
unsaid as we'll as what to say-who will
inculcate charity and kindness, not wrath
aud vengeance. In short, We need hun
dred such men as Henry Wilson to speak
throughout the South for the next six
months"
= x y "And. If hundred able and
good men should thoroughly canvass the
South, there would be more real harmony
and good feeling between whites aud
blacks thereafter than ever before"

with which ex-rebels voted, all leading
facts connected with the election, and also
record Of tho opposition Of the candi-
dates during tho war. This is to be
brought to the.notice Of the Committee on
Elsctions at the next session Of Congress.

pemooratIo NomInatIons.



Mr.. Eslitor,-I SEQ by the Democrat that
the Democratic County Convention Is to
be held soon to nominate candidates for
Clerk and Commissioner. am told tho
Clerk will be nominated by reclamation,
a. the matter was decided at their primary
meetings, but that tho Commissioner will
have TO be balloted for, and that II will
depend on the best wire.workor to secure
the nomination. Tho general impression
here Is that Robson will DO tho man, as
no knows how to pull tho wires. Having
been twice nominated for Sheriff aud twice
for Treasurer, aud being directly interest.
cd for road to his warehouse, he will pull
every wire TO secure the nomination. lie

Ertel promised bridge the FIRST thing at
Trenton, aud Robson atsCedar Grove.
The viewers appointed by the last Board
Of Commissioners, l understand, have
agreed TO report fayorably for Robeson's
road from the Camel pike to his ware
house, which l suppose will have to do
instead of a bridge across the East Fork
at Brookyille, although in time II will
cost more than bridge. But suppose
wc can do rs we have been doing-go
around by the Harrison pike when the
hiuslides into the road.
Our citizens in Fairfield think they will
.have-the FIRST bridge, but haze often
heard that promises are like pie-crust +;
besides, there are more Convention votes
across the West Fork, and Laurel wants q
bridge.

Hard Times in Germany.

A communication from Mannheim, in the
Europe, of Frankfort, Germany, says:
The price of corn continues high, and
the situation is considered as very unsatis-
factory, both by the Baden population and
by our neighbors in the Paatinate. The
increase of our ordinary war budget is esti-
mated at from two and a half to three
millions Of forms per annnm (the increase
in the wealth of the whole country was be-
tween eleven and twelve millions in 1866,
according to official statistics) moreover
the interminabe agitations connected with
religious subjects do not leave any hope,
as yet, of durable peace at home.

IHE RAILROAD INCIDENT.

We have some more particulars OF the
railroad accident last week:
Lemuel y. Wood, tho engineer, died at
twenty minutes past eight o'clock on tho
same evening Of the accident. He was
not able to jump from the locomotive, boz
ing hemncd In by the wood from tho ton.
der. Ills right leg was so terribly crush.
cd that the limb would be lost below the
knee, even In case ho had survived. lie
was otherwise crushed, very badly. and
burned by tho steam. His family lives In
Massachusetts. lie has been employed
on this road only about month.
The engineer aud fireman Of, tho Ohio
4 Mississippi engine escaped by jumping
from the engine, as did also the fireman
Of the other engine.
Mr.. Geo. Highly, conductor Of tho Ohio
4 Mississippi train, who was sitting in
the rear coach, was, strange to say, the on
Iy ono on his train much injured. lie
suffered dislocation of the left shoulder
by being thrown violently back upon the
arm Of the seat.
Mr.. w. Carey, baggage master on the
Ohio and Mississippi train, was severely
cut in the back ofhis head. Both trains
had a good number Of passengers, the
Ohio and Missiaapps two and half coach
es full, and the other the usual number,
but none Of them, fortunately, we're injur-
ed, beyond few Sigh: scratches and
bruises that can hardly be called wounds.

A Denial.

The Secretary Of the Treasury denies
any responsibility for the rumor that the
financial condition Of the country will re-
quire summer session of Congress. In
the aggregate for the year the receipts of
the Treasury will. he thinks, nearly equal
the estimates, and, although the expendi-
lures in payment Of bounties and for the
Indian war have been greater than was ex-
pected, no serious embarrassment is appre-
hended.

Mr.. Editor,-I propose to say word in
regard to the manners and actions Of some
of the "young folks" of our town. Some
one has defined politeness as "only an
elegant form of justice" but it is some
thing more. 1t is the result Of the COM
bined action of all the moral and social
feelings, guided by judgment and refined
taste.
Having entertained high regard for
those above referred to, | must confess |

at meeting of the Zctalathean and Julia
Dumont Literary Society, by the impro-
prieties displayed by some Of the bright

ed members of society. Our citizens in
all matters are free thinkers, yet the rules
Of etiquette or common ciyility ought to
prevent those who meet together for the
Improvement and better development of
those faculties which beneficent Creator
has bestowed upon them, from being made
the subject of ridicule. "Order is the first
law of Heaven" and it is requisite else
where. All are aware that, going in while
the Society is in session, and retiring
during the order of exercises, is very
annoying,
Our object is mutual improvement. ad-
vancement in literary pursuits, and we are

Judge Kelly in Memphis.

The speech delivered in Memphis on
Tuesday evening, by Judge Kelly. Of Phil
adelphia, was an able presentation Of the
views of the Union party on the question
of reconstruction. The sentiment, elo-
quence and force of Judge Kelly's address
are we'll exhibited in the closing paragraph,
which is all we have room to give:
The question has been asked me. since
coming South, whether the military bill
under which the States are to be admitted
to the Union, will be a fnality. can tell
them that they would have been admitted
had they accepted the Constitutional
Amendment, and that it would have been
a faality. You could not have prevented
Conservative Republicans from uniting
with the Democrats in admitting all the
States adopting that amendment, and on
that ground cast my vote for the admis-
sion of Tennessee. When the Southern
people, who had made the war, seized upon
your school fund and your bank stock,
and the rolling stock of your railroads,
and we're arming all your beautiful cities
ard towns most terrible civil war of
all history was inaugurated.
The same people who misled you, who
drenched your land with blood-who rob-
bed us of the fairest and most beautiful Of
our loved ones-assumed that they were
the parties who were to settle the terms of
reconstruction, and they spurned the con-
stitutional amendment. If they proceed
to organize their States, under the Military
bill, giving the people the right to vote
for members of the State conventions, and
frame Constitutions republican and uniform
securing equality of rights before the law,
providing for a common school system out
of generous grants of land already made
to them by the United States for that pur-
pose, they will be admitted, and that viii
be fnality. But if the Fortieth Congress,
more Radical than the Thirty ninth-it
has short session, and l know its temper
If they find that the conquered still
claim the right to declare terms of recon
struction, they had better read Thaddeus
Stevens speech on reconstruction. APP
piause.
The Southern people can prevent the
Military bill from becoming a fnality.
The Radical party means that it shall be
fnality, and the earnest men among them
pray God that this strife and bitterness
may soon end, and that when the Fortieth
Congress closes, the nation shall be I'm
ion, perfect and complete in all its parts,
and that each State shall recognize the
rights of man because he is man.
