A MfSlAke.

The Republican charges Senator Rex
with supporting a bill to disfranchise young
men who may attend the proposed college
at Wooster. This is a mistake. The bill
proposes to subject those attending schools
and colleges to the same restriction in the
exercise of the elective franchise that la
boring men, mechanics and others are held
to--the restriction of voting at their place
of residence. There is certainly nothing
wrong in making men equal in this partic-
ular. Men should obtain no special privi-
ieges because they happen to be attending
school.---Wdune Co. Democrat

Pacific and Atlantic telegraph
Company.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany of the United States was held yester-
day, May 9TH, at the Board of Trade Rooms.
A. F. Marthens was called to the chair,
when the President and Treasurer read
their reports. From these reports it ap-
pears that the company have at present
1858 miles of line, 1924 miles of wire, and
have no debt beyond that arising from the
current expense of the lines, and that the
treasury has in it handsome sum of mon
ey. The reports also show that although
the company have made eleven consecutive
quarterly dividends, there is over and above
the dividends paid and the expenses, a sur
plus of earnings nearly equal to the amount
of dividends paid. On this showing COM
ment is unnecessary, the more especially
when we reflect that this profitable busi-
ness is connected with a great public ben
eft which has been conferred by the man
agement of this corporation on the busi-
ness community of the whole country over
which the wires of the company reach, by
the large reduction they have brought
about in the cost of telegfaphing.-P Pitts

Butler as n FaIsifer.
lFrom the ExpressL !


The notorious Butler on Friday last
thought proper to defend himself for his
agency in the Alta Vela claims by assert
ing, as we said, on Saturday, a downright
falsehood against the NeW York Express
and j. 81 E. Brooks. We have already
branded the untruth and its author as the
offence deserved. Butto make it still more
palpable, we now place before the Express
and other readers the following card from
Mr.. 5 L. Clarke, whose name Butler used
not only without any knowledge of the
case referred to, but knowing that every
word stated by him was pure Invention
Mr. Clarke has authorized us to state all
that he has expressed in his card, and
whatever else may be necessary to stamp
Buffers statement as sheer invention aud
falsehood.
HERE Is THE FALSEHoOD ABOUT THE BROOKS
ES AND CLARKE,
as paraded editorially in Sundays Herald,
after previous publication in the Herald of
Saturday:
"Sometime ago there was a case where
one Clarke sued fellow by the name of
Brooks for part ownership in the Ne,o
York Express, and there was difficulty be-
tween ,Erastus Brooks and the other part-
ner about the division of the spoils. They
brought him (Butler) the case, and showed
him that the two BrOokses had robbed this
Clarke. He (Butler) said he did not love
the firm. He would have nothing to dc
with it. 1t was nasty affair, and not SC
fertile as guano. He saw the case in court
and saw the Brookses beaten"
And tere is the card of Mr.. Clarke as
voluntarily written by him after verbal
assurance to us that Buffers statement had
not one word of truth to rest upon:
NEW YORK, May 4, 1868.
Hon. ErGstus Brooks.
DEAR SIR-In regard to the "Erpres.
Suit" alluded to by General Butler on Fri.
day last, allow me to say that it ,oas neuei
offered to him By me, directly or Indirectly anC
that l never heard his name connected
with it until Saturday last, on reading the
debate of the day before. His entire state.
ment has not the shadow of truth to resi-
upon. Yours, truly,
S. T. CLARKE.

The DemOnstra ton of the ssCarpet
Baggers."

1t was the "Carpet Bag" patriots who
are now overrunning Washington, and
who want President JOHNSON out of the
Presidential chair that they may have an
opportunity to quarter themselves upon
ceedings Immediately after Mr.. BINGHAM
had concluded his speech. A special to
the Plain Dealer thus speaks of them:
This afternoon showed a new phase in
the character of the Jacobins. This city is
Just now the rendezvous of thousands of
''carpet baggers" and political adventures,
who desire the conviction of the President,
so that Ben Wade may become President.
That they have had their part to play in
the impeachment farce was demonstrated
o-day. AS the galleries of the French As
sembly were filled with mob of san-cu-
lottes, fish-women, thieves and contractors,
his accuser- judges, so to-day were the gal
leries of the American Senate filled with
office-hunting Radical Jacobins, who were
admitted with the understanding that they
were to give eclat To the impeachment by
cheering and applauding Bingham, when
in conclusion of his spread eagle harangue
he demanded the conviction of Andrew
johnson in the name of all the American
people.
When Bingham concluded his claqueurs
commenced operations, and even some
members on the floor, including Hole-in-
the Sky, demeaned themselves by applaud
ing their colleague. The Chief Justice was
highly indignant, and at once brought
down his gavel for order. The paid claq-
ueurs in the gallery, to show their resent
ment at him for his impartial bearing as a
Judge and for his respect for the proprie-
ties and decencies of the occasion, hissed at
him. He Immediately ordered the galleries
cleared and even then the hirelings who are
paid to get up sensational thunder hesita-
ted to retire, but the Chief Justice directed
the Sergeant-at-arms to send the police
men up, VINO rid the Court of the rowdies
who hissed and cheered as if they were at a
Radical meeting. The whole matter work
ed as If it had been predetermined.

WE were again shown, few days since,
by Jacob Riblet, several nuggets of fine
gold washed out by number of our citi-
zens On the land of the Gallon Gold Mining
Company, near Bellville, Richland county.
Ohio. This gold is said to be worth $22
per ounce, and the nuggets shown US were
worth from rs cents to $1.25 each, being
termed shot gold, and is obtained by what
is called gulch mining. The prospecting
thus far has been very successful, and the
mines, when fully developed, promise to
pay well. The company is making ar
rangements to operate them very exten- :
sively this season, feeling confident that
they will realize the "precious stuff" % the
extent of at least one ounce to every miner
per day, says the Gallon Reuieto.

A MINISTER writes us: sin view of the
disfranchisement of young men attending
institutions of learning by the Ohio
Legislature, will it not come our turn
next, and if this Legislature passes an act
DISTINGUISHING the preachers of Ohio, will
it be Constitutional ?"-Gozette.
The aforesaid minister is either a kidue
or fool. If he is not fool, he knotcs that
the Legislature has not disfranchised stu
dent in the State, and that every student in
Ohio possess the same right as other citi-
zens, of uoting at their places of residence, and
he is therefore knave for endeavoring to
impress the ignorant with the idea
that the Legislature has really dis
franchised students. If he is not a knave,
he is a fool for writing about matters in
regard to which he has no knowledge. II
there is a class of citizens who should be
disfranchised for total ignorance of matters
pertaining to politics and government, it is
the radical ministry. Probably this fellow
knows it, and hence his ars.-Cnillicothe

ALittIe Plain Talk.

The NorwaM Experiment INDUCES in the
following plain talk:
If the Radical papers that denounce the
Ohio Legislature for obliging all parties to
print election tickets on plain white paper
were disposed to be fair in their criticisms,
they would tell their readers that the eff
practice of fraud and force by either party,
deposit his ballot without hope of reward
or fear of punishment. This is Just as it
should be, and no man, unless he seeks to
commit some outrage on the rights of free
men, would desire it otherwise. This will
enable poor men in the employ of Radicals
to vote as they see proper, with no fear of
being thrown out of employment for so
doing. 1t will apply with equal force to
man in the employ of Democrat.
The reason why Radical editors are so
bitter against this action of the Legislature,
is because they see no hope of the success
of the bondholders' ticket except by the
appliance OF the party lash to poor men
whose interests lie with greenbacks and
Pendleton. The laboring men of the coun-
try are getting tired OF supporting bond
holders and negroes in idleness, while they
are obliged to sweat and toll to keep them
selves and family from starvation. We tell
the aristocratic bondholder that God will
not long suffer the MANNED soldier, the
widows aud orphans of the fallen braves to
be outraged by such unjust taxation upon
labor. Justice will be heard though she
looks up to heaven with eyes flooded with
tears. A retribution most terrible awaits
the merciless money lords who oppress and
rob labor OF its hard earnings.

from doing so by Guffner warding off the
blow with his left arm, receiving severe

A SAD accident occurred on last Thurs
day to little boy named Wroten, living at
Silver Creek Station, in this county, says
the Kenton Democrat. 1t seems, as we learn,
that he was standing on the platform, and
pushing against one of the cars of the
freight train going south on the G. S. & G.
r. R., and the train started with sudden
jerk, throwing him off of the platform onto
the track, the cars passing over his limbs,
cutting off both his legs, the lett at the an
kle and the right at the knee, and breaking
the thigh so that the bone protruded
through the flesh. Drs. Phillips and Snod-
grass, of Kenton, and DIR. Kyle, of Yelver-
ton, were Immediately sent for, who am
rutated both his legs, the left about four
inches below the knee, and the right about
the middle of the thigh, and rendered every
medical aid possible. The amputations
were skillfully performed, and at 6Tst there
was some hopes OF his recovery, but the
system was unable to withstand the terri
BILE shock, which together with the great
loss of blood, caused his death about six
hours after the amputation was performed.
He was eight years old and the son of a
poor widow. whose grief over this terrible
bereavement is indescribable. May God
console her in her heart-rending affliction.
This should be warning to other foolish
boys, who are in the habit OF playing
around railroad depots and stations.
