ANDREW JOHNSON, who has
in his last effort to override all
law by removing Secretary
STANTON and assigning Adju-
tant General THOMAS to that
position, has gone a step too
far. This last act, deeply dyed
and doubly id with intamy,
has caused Congress to draw
up resolutions Of impeachment
which have passed the House
by a majority of 1875 in favor
Of said resolutions to AZ against
impeachment. Had Congress
needed the prophetic warning

"Ideal Heads of American
Women"

We call the attention to the
advertisement, in this issue, of
the ideal Heads of American
Women, which have received
the strongest concentrations
from the most eminent critics
in the country. They were
drawn by Mr.. CHARLES A.
BARRY, and executed upon
stone by the best lithograph-
ers in Paris. That they pos.
Sess intrinsic value as splendid
specimens of art, the following
letter from Prof. HOLMES to the
publisher, L. D. ROBINSON,
abundantly testifies:
BosToN, December 1st, 1866.
DEAR SIR: The five beauti-
full photographic Ideal Heads
are admirable specimens of art,
and l am sure that they will re-
kindle in all hearts the patri-
otic feelings with which, in the
day of trial, we looked upon
the heroic and sanity women
who furnished the types of
these beautiful portraitures.
I beg you to express to Mr..
BARRY my pleasure at seeing
his success in the difficult
branch of art to which he is
devoted.
l am, dear sir, yours truly,
o. w, HOLMES.

JAMES A. Upton, who busted
himself before the election IN
procuring illegal votes, has
by the evidence in the con-
test case, been ousted from the
Sherif's office in Gallia county.
The Copperheads of Gallia
tried to ouSt Capt. JONES from
the Senate and it has resulted
in showing up the villainy and
corruption of some of the lead
ers of that party to an extent
heretofore unknown. The pen
itentiary is too good place
for some Of the rebel.sympa-
thising Copperhead Democrats
of the Sth District.

Impeachment.

Tue only question thought
or spoken of at present is i'm
peachment; and our people ex-
press a determination to sus.
tain Congress in the perform
ance of their duty, come what
may. They all deplore the he
cessity of this action on the
part of Congress, but believe
it was forced on that body by
the continued bad faith and
open violation of law by Mr..
JOHNSON. The Democracy are
quiet, have dropped the bully
ing style with which they spoke
of this matter when it was be.
lieved the President would not
be impeached, and now speak
Of it as a 'grave question:" a
"bad precedent" etc., and hav-
ing urged Mr.. Johnson into his
position appear to abandon
him TO his fate.
The most intense excitement
prevails throughout the whole
country. The fastest news up
to the time of going to press is
the appointment of a commit
tee to draw up articles of i'm
peachment.

The Urbana Citizen says {:
We notice an item going the
rounds of our exchanges to the
effect that Champaign county
has invested S247,000 in turn
pixies under the new law. If
the figures had been placed at
100000 it would be nearer
the truth, as that is about the
amount that has been invest
ed in these improvements in
the county. Some sixteen Of
these turnpikes have been pro-
jected in the county, five of
which are completed, and most
Of the balance are under way.
These roads run in all direc
tions through the county, and
when they are completed will
be of immense value to our
people.
Vinton county has never ex.
pended one cent for this class
of improvements, and yet they
are of the first importance to
the people Of the county. More
money has been lost in the
value of the horses that have
been killed by hauling empty
wagons over our mud roads,
than would have been required
to build good turnpikes. The
law of our State is now very
favorable to enterprises of
this class, and we hope to see
our county benefited byit. The
road from the Station to Nc
Arthur is a dread TO every per-
son who visits our town, and
strangers never fail to express
their surprise that we do not
build pike. Will some Of our
business men, or our farmers
lead off with a project for that
much Of a turnpike-or from
Hamden to Nc Arthur. We be-
lieve that it would only be Q
starting point; that our people
once experiencing the benefits
of a good road, would cease
aoundering around Pin the mud
and turn their attention tc
roads that have solid bottom:
the year round.

70 the Union Voters of VintOn
County,

The Union voters of Vinton
County will meet at their sew
eral places of voting in each
township, on Saturday March
elst 1868, for the purpose of
putting in nomination their
tickets for Township officers,
for the spring election. They
will, at the same time and
place select an Executive Com
mittee of three active Repub.
licans, one of whom will be
an advisory member of the
County Central Committee
The committee so appointed
will report to the Secretary Of
the Central Committee, by let,
ter, without delay.
Friends of the Union! the
coming campaign will be one
of great importance. The des-
tiny of the Republic hangs on
the election of a loyal Presi-
dent, 1t is claim ed by our en-
emies, and believed by many,
that Ohio holds in her hands
the balance of power in the
nation, Then, let US organize
and see that the vote Of our
State is cast upon the side Of
nationality. We ask no secret
oath. bound order such as is
employed by rebels and their
Northern allies but we en-.
treat the people 10 awake to
the danger that threatens the
country. Secrecy, corruption,
fraud, bribery, and secession
are the elements. of Northern
Democracy. By organizing
and placing the issues fairly
before the people, we can de-
feat their schemes. We there
fore ask the voters of the diff.
ferent townships to organize
Union clubs, inform themselves
as to the qualifications as elec.
tors of all their citizens, and
prepare for vigorous canr
paign.
By order of the Union Cen
trail Committee.

SoMErHI NG of the spirit OF
Democracy may be drawn from
a remark Of one of their lead
ers in our town last week.
Speaking of the political situa-
tion at present he said: "lf we
had the officers of the army
with us, we would show you a
war to which the last one
would be mere child play"-
We do not doubt the truth OF
the remark, but we thank God
our army has been pruned of
the rebel element, and all, lead
ers and soldiers, are true to the
country.
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1868-02-27

We desire to ask the atten-
ton of our readers to the call
of the Central Committee in
another column, and urge upon
our citizens the importance of
this organization. Upon every
hand throughout the entire
State frauds upon the ballot
box at the election last fall are
being brought to light With
a proper organization Of our
party these frauds would have
been impossible. Let us see
to it that we are not again
found mapping on our part. Be
sure to attend these township
meetings. Take your neighbor
with you. Organize your clubs.
The Democracy are demanding
the unconditional return Of the
rebels to power. Against this
demand all loyal men can meet
on common ground.
Be careful in your selection
of an Executive Committee.
Choose active men-men of
energy and character. They
are needed for work, not for
ornament. Be careful, too, in
your selection of candidates
for Township officers. Do not
let any petty personal strife
control your action. And above
all, do not flatter yourselves
that the enemy are not organ
lied and prepared for the
fight. We have strong reasons
to believe that there is secret
sworn order in our midst op-
posed to the Government.
Therefore, we say do not hope
nor try to carry the works of
the enemy by surprise. 1t must
be. done by a regular siege, and
it is time we were forming our
lines for the work before us.
Remember the example of our
army. To them, forming the lines
for a siege was forming the lines
for success. We are to meet the
same enemy, and probably un-
der the same glorious old COM
mander. Let it never be said
that our army Of voters had
less energy and perseverance
than our army of soldiers /;
that our citizens lost what the
army had secured.

TIE Democratic Enquirer
takes great satisfaction in sta
ting in each issue that Capt.
JONES is Senator by "eleven mig
gar votes" In Vinton county
we are reliably informed, there
are a number of mulattoes who
vote the Democratic ticket
The FREEMANs, NAPPERs and
others, excepting two or
three, all vote the Democratic
ticket, and marry with and as
sociate with Democrats. In
Wilkesville township the mis-
cegenationists have carried on
a thriving business, the cross
being invariably between the
vlsibly admixed people and the
Democracy. Esq. MORRIS was
applied to within the pastyear
to perform the marriage cere-
mony for such a couple. One
FREEMAN, a Demo ,rat and mu'
latto, wished to marry a daugh.
ter of a leading Democrat in
Wilkesville township. lie had
the fathers consent and the IL
cense, but Esq. MORRIS refused
to perform the ceremony, as he
says, because he Thought it
would be a bad joke on the
niggar." Yet the. Democratic
party is the "white mans par.
ty," and all talk of visible ad
mixture ceases when a voter is
armed with Copperhead tick
ct, Even the mighty contest
ant, ONDEEDoNK, does not ques
ton their right to deposit it ir
the ballot box. But he is
whining around the Ohio Sen
ate, asking for a seat, because
some of them voted the Union
ticket.

Democratic Reasonlng.

The Marietta Times says not
a Democrat in all the land
stands opposed to restoration
of the Union. IL was only last
week that the Democracy in
the Ohio Legislature voted
down a resolution recommend
ing Congress to admit Ala
bama, and We believe every
Democrat in this State would
vote against the admission OF
that State. We know they
will resort to the old practice
of llinging back the cry of "nig-
gar" at us. 1t is true portion
of the voters at that election
were negroes, but they were
loyal negroes, and not one Of
them was ever guilty Of tramp
ling under foot the laws, the
constitution and the flag of
their country. They never
sought the life Of the nation;
murdered and starved its citi-
zens, and plundered its cities.
They are guilty of no crime
but that of being born black.
They constitute a vast majori-
ty of the loyal people of the
South, We must either give
them the right Of citizens, or
restore the whole power Of the
rebels in the Southern States.
To this last proposition, for
which the Democracy are so in
cesSantly working, We are ut
terly opposed, and we vastly
prefer a loyal negro to a South.
ern rebel, whose gun has just
been wrested from him by the
strong arm of the Government.
at the cost of millions of treas.
ure and hundreds of thousands
of lives. We say that the ne.
gro is the better man for the
country, whether you take him
as a citizen, at home, or sold
ier in the field; for he is a friend
of the country. But therein
lies all the trouble with the
Democracy. They believe i'll
"my policy" because "my poll
cy" restores rebels to power;
and they are opposed to the
admission of the Southern
States unless their allies, the
rebels, march into power with
banners flying. !
