The Treasury Thieves.

Secretary McCulloch, if he is not a
corrupt officer, is certainly having an
amount of odium unjustly heaped ON
his head that few public functionaries
have ever been compelled to bear. The
Herald's Washington correspondent adds
the following to many statements pre-
viously made by various writer's.
"One of the favorite operations of the
Treasury ring is the secret manipula-
ton of bonds on government account,
through commission brokers. The Sec

Ohio Legislature.

Both branches of the Ohio Legislature
adjourned last night, after their three
days session, having completed all the
legislation necessary to be done.
The patients belonging to the Central
Lmatic Asylum, deprived of their home
by the burning of the Asylum, were
properly cared for, and the laws necessa-
ry for that purpose were passed. Ar
rangements were made to have all the
necessary facts laid before the Legisla.
ture in regard to the condition of the
walls, the cost of rebuilding the Asylum,
the time when it can be finished, dc. In
the meantime, such arrangements were
made as will secure the walls and move
off the debris of the burned building.
A Senate Committee, consisting of
Messrs. Scribner, Everett and Linn, was
authorized to sit during the recess, to cod
ify and to report amendments to the laws
regulating cities, towns and villages,
work that if well performed, and from
the ability of the committee, we have no
doubt ou the subject, will be one of great
beliefit.

Governor in his message were made and

Horrible Affair.

Rufus B. Anderson was executed in
Austin, Nevada, on the 30th ult., for the
murder of Noble T. Slocum. The usual
crowd surrounded the gallows, and the
usual military force an6 attendant cler-
gymen hadbeen employed. After prayer
on the platform, the prisoner calmly ad-
dressed the spectators. Having finish :,
ed, he stepped forward to the railing,
and requested that Deputy Sheriff Taber
should put the moose around his neck,
and then shook hands with those on the
platform. AT the signal, the trap fell,
and the wretched young man lay stretch
ed upon the ground, the knot having
given way. There was wild cry and
rush forward of the crowd, but the
people were kept back by the guard.
Anderson was carried on to the platform
and the moose again adjusted around
his neck, and the trap fell The knot
gave way again, and Anderson was pros
trated insensible. He was CARRIED up
the steps of the platform and seated in
chair, his face wearing the pallor Of
the grave. The rope was adjusted the
third time. AS the trap fell, he swung
free, and, after slight muscular move
ment for several minutes, all was over.

The Ballot in Tennessee.

The Cincinnati Commercial, a Radical
paper, has letter from its correspon-
dent at Jasper, Tennessee, decribing
scenes witnessed at the polls on election
day. He tells Of old, gray headed citiz-
ems of intelligence and character, dis
franchised and mere lookers-on, who
stood about the polls. One, very dark
looking white man, comes up and wants
to know ifhe is black enough to vote
"Not quite" say the judges, and the
black-white man laughs, and walks away.
Then comes negro.
A negro comes i'll who has never yOt-
ed before. He puts his hat under his
arm, and acts timidly. One of the iud-
ges motions him up, and hands him a
ballot. He takes it with a nervous grasp
and looks around as ofhe did not know
what to do with it. Hand it to that
man there" says one Of the judges, and
the voter does so without ever looking
at it and walks out. Had it been a comic
song, Or the Sermon upon the Mount, it
would have been all the same to him.
And another:
A young colored man, who probably
never exercised the rights of suffrage be-
fore, walks up, and asks for ga paper"
A ballot is handed, and he is told to give
it to the man with the cigar box. He
hands it to the officer ''with the cigar
box" who proclaims 'Will Smith-vct-
ed" "What did you say, sirf'' said
VIII. ooh, l just told the clerk your
name; you can go now.''
The following statement presents an
interesting phase of the Radical suffrage
scheme at the South:
Says an ex-rebel captain to me; "Do
You see that black boy over there? He
was raised by me, and is one of the best
servants l ever had He was in the war
with me from first to last, and accom-
panied me home after the surrender

go along by my side But lately he got

day he said that he did, and told him
to come"
The fact here stated with regard tc
this negro's participation in the rebel
lion will apply to ninety nine out ot
every one hundred black voters at the
South. There is nothing more ridicu
lous then the enfranchisement of the
Southern negroes on the ground of theil

the Southern whites on the ground Of

The Trial Trip 0fthe First LOcom.
olive

Major Horatio Allen, the engineer of
the New. York and Erie Railroad, gives
the following account of the first trip
made by locomotive on this continent
When was it? Who was it? And
who awakened its energies and directed
its movements? 1twas in the year 1923
on the banks Of the Lackawaxen, at the
commencement of the railroads connect
ing the canal of the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal Company, with their coal min
es-and he who addresses you was the
billy person on that locomotive. The
circumstances which led to my being
alone on the road were these: The
road had been built in the summer; the
structure was of hemlock timber, and
rails of large dimensions, notched on
caps placed far apart The timber had
cracked and warped from exposure to
the sun. After about tkFee hundred feet
Of straight line, the road crossed the
Lackawaxen creek on treste HGrk about
thirty feet high, with curve CT three
hundred and fifty-fve to four hundred
feet radius. The impression was very
general that the iron monster would
either break down the road or it would
leave the track at the curve and plunge
into the creek.
My reply to such apprehensions was
that it was too late to consider the pro-
liability of such occurrences; there was
no other course than to have a trial
made of the strange animal which had
been brought here at great expense, but
that it was not necessary that more than
one should be involved in its fate; that
would take the first ride alone, and the
time would come when I should look
back to the incident with great inter.
est.
p AsI placed my hand on the throttle
valve handle; | was undecided weather
to move slowly or with a tair degree Of
speed but believed that the road would
prove safe, and preferring, if we did &C
down, to 90 handsomely, and without
any evidence of timidity, started witt
considerable velocity, passed the curve
over the creek safely, and was soon ou
of hearing of the vast assemblage. A
the end of two or three miles | reversed
the valve and returned without accident
having thus made the first railroad trip
by locomotive, on the Western hemis
phere.

LETTER FROM ATHENS.
The Editor Of the spirit Indicted,
IF YOu Give lis the Name of the
Author we WIFI Release YOu.'--
ATHENS, Nov. %. 1868.

ATHENS, Nov. 90, 1868.
H. r. WEST, EsQ.-Dear Sir: The
Grand Jury ct Athens County,a at its No
yember Term, 1868, found indictment
against you for libel, because of the pub
lication Of an article published in your
paper purporting to be written from
Athens under the head of Radical. =
The parties here propose to me to say to
yOn if YOU will give them the. name of
the author Of the communication, they
will discharge you, as they are after the
real parties, and not You. |, therefore,
think YOU had better give them the name,
or else they will send for you before
next Term You can write me at Co.
lumbus. Very Truly, s##x#*
The above letter from friend, we
publish in order that our readers may
know to what desperate resources the
Ring at Athensis compelled to resort to
clear its skirts of the damaging charges
made by our correspondents:
We have beea indicted in Athens
County, for an offense, so-called, com
mitted in Monroe County, which is clear
ly violation of every principle of law.
Again The indictment was not for any
thing we had done, but rather threat to
compel us to reveal the author of a GER
tain communication.
"1He parties propose to me to sag TO
go" if y0u wW gire them the name Of the
author Of the communication, THEY
WILL DISCHARGE YOU, as they are
after the real parties AND NOT YOU"
Is that what is termed honesty in
Athens County? Let any honest man
peruse the above extract and then ask
himself: ''Why have they indicted the
editor of the Spirit if there is no cause
for action?
The only answer is, to revenge them
selves. But, gentlemen of Athens, we
intend to meet you in this matter, and if
We are not mistaken you will, like
the man who caught the bear, want
somebody to help you let go before you
are through.
