Grant and the Jews.

The Copperhead papers are en-
deavoring to prejudice the Jews as
class against Gen. Grant because
in 1862 he issued an order expell
ing those Jews, who were following
the army violating orders, disre-
garding all rules of houesty, &C.,
from his department.
This had no more reference to the
Jews as a class than the arrest and
conviction of a member of the Pres
byterian Church would have to the
Presbyterians as a religious denom-
ination. We are glad to know that
Jews have too much sense and de-
votion to principle to be Influenced
by Copperhead lies. See "Demo-
Gratis, the Jews, &C." in another
place.

A Most Exciting Scene.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, OF
June lst says that while Bailey &
Co.'s menagerie we1e being driven
along the road to Watertown, the
wagon containing the lioness and
some e-whelps upset, the cage catch
ing and holding one of the whelps.
It then describes the scene thus.
When the whelp snt up a cry OF
pain, the mother sprang up in anger.
This set the whelp to uttering more
plaintlve roars, when the rage of the
Oldest beast became terrific. II
dashed to the whelp, began licking
it, and at the same time uttered those
loud roars which have made it so
famous. Becoming enraged at its
treatment it dashed to and fro in its
narrow limits, throwing itself with
full force against the sides of the
cage. A couple of lions in an adj
joining apartment became excited
over the scene, and not only added
to the confusion by their roars, but
strove to break down the barrier be-
tween the two cages. A gentleman
living at Pewaukee, who was near
the cage at the time. says the scene
was one of the most startling imag-
Unable. All the beasts in the cap
sized cage were yelling and striving
to get out, while those in the vans,
which had halted near; became
frightened and were uttering tokens
of alarm in their peculiar manner.
The horses too, of all the vans, ex-
hibited the utmost alarm, requiring
the efforts Of the drivers to look af-
ter them. Until some help arrived
nothing could be done with the pros
trate van, and it was left, while word
was sent to the teams to push for
ward as rapidly as possible. Mean
while the anxious drivers stood in
fear that every moment now thefur
ious-- beasts would break out of their
cages.
AS soon as the word came to the
hand wagon, the camels and ele-
plants were urged forward and
came up on a quick trot. But no
sooner had the animals attached to
the wagon come within sound of
the lions voices than they exhibited
the most abject fear. The elephant
threw up his trunk and blew terri
BILE blast, a blast that startled all
even those who had before exhibited
no signs of fear. It's keeper bravely
kept by its side, and attempted to
quiet its fears, but the massive ami.
NAL was thoroughly alarmed. 1t
seemed to be insane, and its yells
were full ofagonized fear, filed with
terror. The camels were startled;

A Triple Suicide.

Another Of those fearful tragedies
so soul-sickening to all occurred in
this city on Saturday night and
Sunday, the facts of which, are as
follows.
1t appears that man named Ow-
ems, who has been for some months
a resident of this city,. did, some
years ago, entice from her home and
friends a young girl of rare beauty
and promise, and took her with him
to the far west, residing with her in
Montana and Idaho till last fall when
they came to this city.
Last winter the young woman,
dissatisfied with her position, insis
ted that Owens should make her his
lawful wife, which he refused there
upon a young man named Hooker,
who for some time past has been
concerned in a brewery some six or
seven miles up the track, proposed
to marry the girl, and she, acceding
to the proposal, they were married
last winter. Since that time Owens
has resorted, at different times, to
every means to secure possession of
the woman, using, it is said, both
force and fraud.
At any rate, they-Owens, and
the girl-recently made trip to
Omaha together, where he expended
considerable money for her in cloth
ing, jewelry, DC. Upon their return
Hooker learning of her whereabouts
and that she had taken up her abode
with Owens, and being denied ac-
cess to her, did, on Saturday, COM
nit suicide by taking strychnine.
He took the poison about noon, and
informed the family what he had
done. Medical aid was summoned
but he died about nine o'clock in the
evening.
The wife, hearing of the affair,
came to Mr.. Clark's about the time
he died, and remained till Sunday
morning, when she went to q drug
store and procured poison, went
back to the house where her dead
husband lay, while an inquest was
being held upon his body, swallow
ed the poison, and in few moments
she too was corpse
Owens came to the house while
she was in the agonies of death, and
seemed much effected, he only stay e
a few minutes, when he left, and it
is rumored that he also has commit
ed suicide. However, he is missing
and no one knows his wher eabouts.-

The Cincinnati Gazette speaking
of the efforts being made by the
Democracy to make Chief Justice
Chase their standard bearer in the
approaching canvass remarks:
Democratic managers who favor
the Chase stratagem, confess the
bankruptcy of the party in capital
and character, by proposing to take
for leader representative man
from the Republican party, without
any change on his part, They pro
pose to take him as the representa-
tive Of everything which they have
always opposed leader in the ir-
repressible conflict of freedom and
slavery, prominent supporter of
the Government in the war to sup
press the Democratic rebellion, an
advocate Of the principle of the
national supremacy, against the
State claim of the right Of secess-
ion, the supporter of the emancipa-
ton proclamation, the author of
the resource of legal tender notes
for sinews OF war, the author Of the
national banking system, the sup
porter of the specie obligation of
the Government bonds, the sup
porter of Congressional reconstruc-
ton of the rebel States, and of the
principle of equal suffrage-in short
the representative of everything in
principle and policy which the Dem
ocratic party opposed, hated and
fought against.
They can not point to a single
item in Mr.. Chase's conduct or dec
larations, to show that in one of
these great affairs and principles,
he has changed. And yet the
movement of the Democratic party
managers to make Mr.. Chase the
candidate of the party, is 50 con-
siderable, that even it's opponents
admit that it is the strongest force
that Mr.. Pendleton will have to
meet, and many of them show that
the chances are at least doubtful.
Such changes as these are not party
campaigns. They are declaration
Of the necessity for the dissolution
Of the party, and for it's recenstruc-
ton in some form that shall throw
off its former character.

some attempted to break from their
harness, while others fell down flat,
all uttering a peculiar cry. The
band leaped out, and while the keep
pers Of the band wagon animals
looked after them, it was found that
the lions must be quieted or there
would be a scene beyond the con-
troll of all. About this time the lion
tanner came up, and hastened to the
cage. The beasts had become so
excited now that they scarcely no.
ticed him, but made redoubled eff
forts to get out into the open air.
Had the tanner at this time lacked
courage which seemed akin to utter
recllessness, the beasts would no
doubt have succeeded in making
their escape. Without fear he went
to the cage and very soon discover
ed the cause ofthe fury of the moth
er. He called the attendants of the
team to his aid, but they were scare
ely to be blamed, when they did not
care to venture too near Two or
three of them came, and with the as
sistance of levers separated the
pieces of the cage SO that the wheip
eXtricated its foot. The mother her
suspense relieved with the release
OF the whelp, ceased her yells and
again commenced licking the woun-
ded foot. The other lions seemed
not altogether satisfied, and rather
to enjoy the confusion they were
creating. Reaching through the
ventilator the tanner struck one of
them as heavy blow as he could
with a short iron bar, which seemed
to send some reason into his head
and when the order came for him to
move, he and his companion went
into their own apartm ent, ceasing
their howls, but keeping up a low
indignant growing like dogs. OBJ
serving this the men came forward
and raised the wagon to it's place,
fastening up the cage whereit was
broken, and the horses being at
tached the team drove on.

Equal and exact justice to all mer

principle of the new Constitutions

For the accomplishment of this

The recognition and confrma-
ton of the results of the war, in
cluding the political changes which
it has made necessary, is necessity
from which no party can escspe.
True conservatism consists in &C
cepting this fact, and in acting upon
it with wisdom and practical mod
Grafton. There can be no greater
or more disastrous radicalism, as
things are now, than that which de-
mands a reversal of everything that
has been done during the last seven
years, and restoration of the po-
litical condition that existed before
the rebellion broke out.-N. 7.

Washington dispatches announ,

Washington dispatches announce
that it is the intention of the Presi-
dent to allow the Reconstruction
bills now before him to become laws
without his signature. We are glad
to learn that he has lost faith in the
efficacy of his vetoes.
The fact is that the President
seems to have learned a practical
lesson from his recent narrow es-
cape. He has done nothing since
impeachment deserving Of condem
nation. May he keep sober and
allow the country to rest in peace.

Democrats, the Jews, &c.
Having to stop at a hotel in a
neighbering town recently, to take
supper, we were escorted to table
at which four gentlemen were at
tea and conversing on the approach
ing 4th of July Convention. All
being strangers to US, we only open
ed our mouth to introduce food
into it, and effected perfect indif-
ference to what was said. Three of
the parties are the Commissioners
of the said neighboring county and
the other politician Of influence.
One gentleman remarked that an
extraordinary number of men were
making arrangements to attend the
Convention from Ohio for the pur-
pose of securing the nomination OF
Pendleton.
Another gentleman spoke with
great earnestness and said, eyes
zoe are going to DEFEAT THE
JEWS.
This remark was received with
great appreciation and responded to
by one of the Commissioners with
the inquiry "Can't eoe make an ap-
preparation from the County funds
and attend as q 6ody?" To which
another Commissioner responded
that a similar appropriation was
once made by the Commissioners
Of said county and that he thought
it would be all right. The other
parties all received the suggestion
with pleasure and appreciation.
Then the conversation turned on
Vallandigham and Thurman.
One man remarked that he would
never forgive Thurman for defeat
ing Vallandigham, as he thought he
did not act honorably in so doing.
EYES," responded the other, che
won't make q good Senator nei-
ther.'
We have given the substance and
the facts in the above, and when we
retired, the parties were still en-
gagged in a similar strain of thought.

Minister to England.

On the 18th inst, the President
nominated Hon. Reverdy johnson,
now U. S. Senator from Maryland,
Minister to England, and was unan-
imously confirmed by the Senate
Mr. johnson is man of great abil-
ity, and an accomplished gentleman.
AS true Democrat he supported
the war for the Union, and voted
for the Reconstruction bill. For
all these acts of loyalty and patriot
ism, the Copperheads of his State
repudiated him, and elected another
man to succeed him in the Senate.
We believe he will represent our
glorious country at the Court OF
John Bull with honor and dignity.

We hope that Congress will not
think of adjourning till the entire
work of Reconstruction is compile
ted, and other vital questions are
satisfactorily adjusted. We believe
that Congress cannot serve the
country better than to remain in
session. It is great folly for a man
to sit down and fold his arms in the
midst Of harvest.
Keep vigorously at work till the
great task is completed.

the Coming Campaign?

Would congressman Aid us In
the Coming Campaign?
The work ofCongress says the
Cleveland Herald is being hurried up
so as to secure o speedy adjourn
ment that Congressman may return
to their constituencies and aid in the
Presidential campaign. We tell Re
publican Congressman that they can
in no way SO aid the cause of the
Republican party, as by staying al
their posts until proper and necessary
legislation is accomplished, that
shall look to relief from the pres
ent burden of taxation; to an equit-
able adjustment of the tariff; to a
judicious revision of the revenue
laws, and to settlement of the cur
rency question. If Congressman
wish to tighten the labor on the
"stump" let them remain at work
where they are, and not, by pre-
mature adjournment, increase the
labor of the campaign by putting
the Republican party on the defen-
sive.
The National Convention has done
its part we'll i'm giving US candidates
that possess the affections of the
people to the fullest extent, and in
laying down platform on which all
loyal people who intend to preserve
the government from rebel hands
can stand. There is nothing from
which we have so much to fear as
that Congress may leave its post at
the first start of -perspiration, with
it's work undone. The best "stump"
each Republican Congressman can
labor for is his chair, until the work
which was postponed-much of it
unnecessarily-while impeachment
was going on, has been accomplish
ed. Show the people that Congress
responds to the National Convention
when it asserted that staxation must
be equalized and reduced as rapidly
as national faith will permit and
hat "the government should be ad-
with the strictest econo-
N.Y." and more will be accomplished
han by the united voice of Con
yressmen on the stump explaining
;he failure of impeachment and ex-
,using Congress for deserting its
post on the approach of warm
weather..
