re- Johnson's veto of the Arkan-
sas Reconstruction bill was an un-
pleasant dose for the Democrats, but
they were forced to walk up in a
body and swallow it. A correspond
ent of the n. Y. Times says:
The Arkansas bill vete, to- day,
was quite refreshing incident in the
dull routine of private bills and con-
tested election cases which were be-
fore the House. The President, as
was intimated in this correspondence
some days ago, could not forego this
'last chance" ard yielded to the
temptation to give the reconstruc-
tien policy of Congress another blow.
To be sure, In doing SO, he belied all
the assurances of his friends after i'm
peachment, that there would be no
more vetoes, and that everything
would now go smoothly on to the
end Of his term. But the Republi-
cans were rather glad than otherwise
at this fresh exhibition of Presiden-
tial obstinacy. They regard it as one
of the most powerful arguments yet
put in their hands by a foolish foe,
and it will be worth a hundred thou
sand votes to them in the campaign.
1t was highly amusing as well as in
structive to witness the manifest dis
gust OF the Dem ocratic members at
this unwelcome message. 1t COM
PEELED them to march up in solid ar
ray and once more indorse the policy
of Andrew Johnson, of which their
leading organs and politicians are
now engaged in trying to wash their
hands. But Johnson has the advan-
tage of them. He sticks to them
like the shirt of Nessus, and compels
them to indorse him in spite of them
selves.

g- The Republicans met last Fri
day evening, after due public notice,
at the Court house, with its doors
wide open to admit all that came,
either to see or take part, and or
ganized its GRANT Club. How un-
like the so-called democratic party.
Without public notice, secretly, in a
room in the third story of FRANKS s
building, they met and organized
their Ku-Klux Club, or something G
similar, and, with the door guarded
to prevent the entrance of only the
initiated, there they meet to concoet
measures to return rebels to power.
Weekly, singly and by two's, they
may be seen sneakingly entering their
secret den. What is done there the
public is not permitted to know
But, let them secretly meet and plot
in aid of their Southern brethren
it will only make more sure and ter.
rible their overthrow. The people
the intelligent, thinking masses
know them and their designs, and
will have nothing to do with either.

E The New York Herald, high
Democratic authority, predicts the de-
feat and death of its own party in the
following terms:
But with all his popularity and merit
we cannot close our eyes to the fact
that a dead-set and determined hostili-
ty exists on the part of the old political
rings-the bald and played out hun
kers and the meddling, waspish fire
eaters-to defeat, if possible, the nomi-
nation Of Judge Chase by the Demo
Gratis on the Fourth of July. Whether
these rings are powerful enough to dely
the undoubted will of the people re-
mains to be seen. Time will tell. We
shall soon know whether the Demo
Gratis, clinging to the rotten planks OF
their shivered platforms, will sink to
the bottom of the ocean of political OBJ
lrion, or whether, by nominating Chase
and adopting the live, fresh, progressive
issues of the day, they will elect to be
born along, as if upon an irresistible
flood, to political position and power.
Success with Chase; defeat and death
without him. There you are. Choose
for yourselves. a@a5

E The new whisky and tobacco
Tax law passed the House of Rep
resentatives last Friday. 1t has now
to go to the Senate for its action, and
we hope that that body will be as
prompt in passing it as the House
has been. AS its enactment will in
terfere very materially with the vii
lainous operations of the democratic
whisky ring, it may be expected that
johnson will veto it; but if he does,
we trust enough votes will be at hand
to pass it over the veto.
The bill taxes distilled spirits fifty
cents gallon, besides sundry taxes
on its sale in various stages, including
one of kur dollars per barrel extra
on bonded whisky. The two varieties
of tobacco are reduced respectively
to sixteen and thirty-two cents per
pound. The collection Of both is
provided for by very efficient ma
chinery.
The opinion among men of all
parties is that the revenue from dis
titled spirits and tobacco will be
largely increased by the reduced tax
and the amended law. If its effect is
to break up the corrupt whisky ring,
this result will follow of course.

the Democratic, or, as its followers
love to style it, the conservative

the odds and ends of all parties from
the open unreeonstructed rebel of
the South to the trimmer whose po-
liical convictions consist in an an
swerving belief in the infallibility OF
Andrew johnson and an unfailing
promptness in drawing nis sslary as

A Case Worthy of Attention.

Some weeks ago young man ma
med Burns, who was then clerk in
the Office of Collector Harris, discov-
cred lot of whisky going into a
house on Sycamore street, at the
hour of midnight. He was request
ed to keep still, and that whisky
would be nabhed. He did keep still.
A few nights subsequently, he dis
covered another lot of whisky gsing
into another house on the same street.
This he also reported to Collector
Harris, and lie was again told to keep
quiet. He disobeyed this injunction
so far as to report the cases to Spe-
cial Agent Worthington, who was
"glad to get the information" and
said he would see to it at once.
Nothing was done, however, and
Mr.. Burns. with the advice of friends,
wrote out the facts and sent them to
Commissioner Rollins. In a few
days thereafter he received q letter
from Washington, informing him
that his services as clerk in the Col
lector's office were no longer requi-
red. Was he discharged because he
did not keep quiet
Mr.. Burns is well known in this
city, is respectfully connected, is in
dorsed as reliable by some of our
best citizens, and from what we know
about the case, we feel justified in
calling upon Hon. Benjamin Eggles-
ton to ask Congress to request Com
missioner Rollins to furnish the cor
respondence between his office and
Mr.. Burns; also to inquire why he
was discharged; and in fine, to have
the matter investigated-not white
washed, but Investigated = Gin. Gazette.

Another Exploit of the Ku- -Klux
Democracy.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette J
BewLING GREEN, Ky, June 81.
Nathan Dawson, an ex- Federal
soldier, was brutally murdered by
the Ku- -Klux Clan near Woedburn
Station, in this county, on Saturday
night. His sole offense was that he
had been in the Union army. The
assassins went to his home after dark
and called him to the door. AS soon
as it was opened they discharged
their reviewers In his face. killing
him instantly and shooting his wife
through the neck as she ran to his
assistance.
There is a settled determination
on the part of the Ku-Klux Klan in
this quarter of Kentucky to drive
out or assassinate every Union man
in their midst. Hardly a night pas
ses without sn outrage Of some kind
being committed. Union men in all
quarters are preparing to leave the
State. The re bells seem determined
to accomplish by the assassius knife
what they failed to achieve in open
battle. ~ 81

Re- There is a single remark IN
Governor Seymour's Cooper Institute
speech worth reproducing. 1t is that
the Democratic party "have always
kept our public finances out of confu-
sion." This is particularly refreshing
when we remember the fact that, be-
fore the close of Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministration, it was with difficulty the
Government could negotiate a small
loan, even with the extraordinary in
ducement of twelve per cent. in gold.
Between the mismanagement of Pierce
and Buchanan and Floyd and Cobb,
and various swindleS like the Fort SMELL
ing affair and the sham Mormon war,
the treasury was depleted and the
credit of the Government went lower
than at any time since. 1t win not do
for Mr. Seymour to talk of Democratic
economy, while Democratic Legisla-
ture in Ohio doubles the expenses OF
legislation, and the City of New York
groans under the extravagance and
corruption of Democratic management

The Reconstruction Bill.

The President yesterday vetoed
the reconstruction bill providing for
the admission of North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Florida into the Union. 1t took the
House twenty minutes and the Sen
are ten minutes to pass the measure
over the veto. The Democrats did
not like the position johnson placed
them in, but they were forced to face
the music and voted solid to sustain
the veto. Within q week all these
States will be fully represented in
Congress. The Democratic mem
bers of Congress have talked them
selves hOarse against the''injustice"
of keeping Southern representatives
out of Congress, and have voted
steadily against admitting them.
The fact is, this party is sorely
troubled because Republican Con-
gress has so nearly completed the
work of reconstruction--completed
it, too, on loyal basis, and IN spite
of the opposition ofDemocrats, reb-
els, and Andrew Johnson,--Cin

w The copperhead sheets, as
well as its small beer politicians,
complain of Gen. GRANT that he can
not make speech. Neither could
Gen. WASHINGTON, and yet, we pre-
sumo, no one will assert that he was
not both an able. General and States
man. Speech making is not an evil
dence of merit. The editor of the
Dispatch, we believe, is speech
maker, but surely no one would think
thereby he was fit subject for Off
cial place and position. Thus it is
"a man may make what is called a
speech and not be fit for anything
else, while another one, that cannot
make a speech, may be qualified for
the highest position in the nation.

AN "ELEGAET EXTRACT. Some
evil-disposed person has rescued from
oblivion the following passage from a
speech delivered in the United States
Senate by Andrew Johnson, on the 31st
of January, 1862, on the motion to ex-
pei Jesse d. Bright:
els there Senator here who would
have voted to allow Aaron Burr to
take. seat in the Senate after his ac-
quittal by court and jury? No; there
is not Senator who would have done
it. Aaron Burr was tried in court, and
he was found not guilty; he was turned
loose; but was the public Judgment of
this nation less satisfied of his guilt
than if he had not been acquitted?
What is the nations judgment, settled
and fixed? That Aaron Burr was
guilty of treason, Notwithstanding he
was acquitted by court and jury"

Speech of Horatio Seymour.

Onz Thursday evening Mr. Sey-
mour made a speech TO a large audi
ence at the Cooper Institute, in re-
spense to the call of the jackson
Central Democratic Association
Made on the eve of the Democratic
National Convention, and by the
foremost Democrat of the East, this
speech has peculiar significance,
which makes its matter of unusual
interest. Its principal topic is the
necessity OF raising the public credit
by restoring q uniform currency, and
by reducing the expenses of the Gov
ernment, so as to have surplus
revenue to apply to the debt.
Gov. Seymour takes by the horns the
Pendleton argument for the debase-
ment Of the currency; namely, that
the currency which is good enough
for the soldier, the sailor, the pen
sioner and hepeople, is good enough
for the bondholder, and he makes
irresistably the only rational appli-
cation of it, in this way: "We must
have q uniform currency for all class
es. There is but one question to be
settled. Shall our currency be uni
formly good, or uniformly bad?''
This short process puts the Pendle-
ton plan to rout. 1t represents that
cunning scheme as choosing to de-
base the currency of the whole peo-
pie, and to perpetuate its debase-
meat, upon the plea that the currency
of the people and of the bondholder
should be the same
1t represents the plan which con-
stitutes the whole political capital of
an aspirant for the Democratic NOM
ination, as q simple choosing to de-
base The currency of the whole peo-
pie, for the sake of uniformity, when
the same uniformity can be attained
by sound currency. The whole
Pendleton argument is demolished
by this plain statement of the prob
lem. No Pendletonion will under
take to answer it. Gov. Seymour
also goes into some details of the
ruin that would be brought on the
honest savings of the masses by the
introduction of shifting and dis
honest standard of value.
This speech, at this time, may be
taken as the pr0nunciamento of the
New York Democracy against the
greenback issue of Pendleton, and
in favor of the earliest restoration
o. sound currency, and the public
credit. Itdeclares the qualifications
prerequisite to their support of any
candidate. Mr.. Seymour may dis
claim any speaking about candidates,
but he declares war upon the policy
which the most prominent one rests
his success upon.-CiR. Gaz.

County Convention.

The call of the Central Committee
for our annual county convention
may be found in our columns to-day.
The meeting of the convention is
fixed for Saturday, July 25th-dele-
gates to be elected Saturday, July
18th.
The convention is called thus early
AS some may consider it-upon the
recommendation of the State Gen.
tral Committee. who believe that we
should have all our candidates in the
field at the earliest day practicable.
The canvass is to be warm one
closely contested-and, if we would
have success, We must have an early
commencement-thorough organiza-
tion--and then constant, efficient
work. The democracy, though at
present without any standard bearer
or declared principles, are even now
incessant and untiring in their labors
ARE raising money and organizing
their secret Clans, and making use of
every possible instrumentality which
will conduce to their success. Re-
publicans should be even more un
firing and vigilant, as their cause is
the peace and quiet of the country,
while that of their opponents is the
return of the country to the turmoils
and excitements of the years during
and proceeding the war.
We trust, therefore, that the call
of the committee will be met by
prompt, efficient response from the
Republicans OF every township in the
county. Let the township meetings
be fully attended, and good men
men who love the cause and the
country it would save-be selected
as delegates. Then let them meet In
county convention and give US good
ticket-a working ticket-and we
have no fears of the result. Give us
an early and satisfactory start, and
then untiring, efficient work, and We
will show to the world, whatever
others may do, that Gallia county is
still true to the noble cause she so
manfully sustained during the war,
and that, having done her share in
overcoming the rebels on the battle
field, she is ready and willing to sus-
tain and make permanent that work
at the ballot-box.

H A bill passed Congress, few
days since, removing political disa-
bilities from several hundred per-
sons in the Southern States, men who
had given evidence of their willing
ness to adhere to the government as
loyal subjects. The bill not includ-
ing the leaders Of the rebellion
Davis, Breckenridge, Lee and others
of course the democrats voted
againstit. They want no reconstruc-
ton that does not restore these un-
repentant rebels to full power with
the loyal soldier who fought and suf-
fered to preserve the government.
1t is well that the democracy are
thus making plain and distinct the
issue Of the pending campaign. Full
pardon Of all rebels, or no recon
struction-the restoration of the
Union as it was before the war, with
Davis and Breckenridge in the Sen
ate, and the Toomb's and WigfalPs
in the House, or none at all. That
is the issue.
