FoRNEy, in his disgraceful appeals to
Senators to vote for the conviction of
President johnson, urges as reasons not
his guilt of the charges or the violation
of any law, but the fact that the Radi-
Gals must have the Treasury and the
Office to elect their President. He ur-
gos IL on pure partizan grounds.

Adjournment Of the Legislature.

THIS long hoped for event took place
ON last Monday, having consumed about
one hundred days in time, though
actually In session about fifty days. An
immense number Of bills were present
ed and acted on, although about four
fifths of them were of private or local
nature.
The Senator and Representative from
this district have performed their du-
tics faithfully, honestly, and with satis-
faction to their constituents. Captain
Chalfant retires at the end Of his second
term with a reputation at home and
abroad as one of the ablest of our legis-
lators, and most incorruptibIe of men.

THE Chicago papers are extremely
severe upon Senator Yates, who is pro-
nounced to be an habitual drunkard, or,
as the Chicago JoTnaI says, "intoXlca-
ted nearly all the time, day and night. !"
The facts they mention are almost in
credible, and give proof of state of
things too shocking to be endured. 1t
will be remembered that abont a year
ago Senator Yates turned teetotaler,
and delivered some rather curious
speeches ont the subject. But this did not
last, and presently his conduct was as
bad as ever. The temperance party are
calling loudly on him to resign, while
others demand that the Senate shall eX-
pei him at once. 1t is a iamentable bust
ness.

The Fourteenth Amendment.


Article Il is now part of the Or
ganic law of the nation. Twenty
nine States have ratified it, so that il
Ohio and New jersey desire to undo
their work of ratification, there are
still enough to make it effective, as
twenty six is the full number required.
We print the Amendment in full:
ART. XIV. SECTION l. All persons
born or naturalized in the United
States and subject to the Jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United
States, and of the State wherein they
reside. No State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of
the United States, nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty or
property, without due process of law,
nor deny to any person within its
Jurisdiction the equal protection Of the
laws.
SEC. 2. Representatives shall be ap-
portioned among the several States
according to their respective numbers,
counting the whole number of persons
in each State, excluding Indians not
taxed. But when the right to vote at
any election for the choice of electors
for President of the United States,
Representatives in Congress, the Ex-
ecutive and judicial officers Of a State,
or the members of the Legislature
thereof, is denied to any of the. male
inhabitants of such State, being
twenty-one years of age and citizens Of
the United States, or in any way
abridged, except for participation III
rebellion or other crime, the basis Of
representation therein shall be reduced
in the proportion which the number
of such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty
one years Of age in such State.
SEC. 3. No person shall be a Sena-
tor or Representative in Congress, or
elector of President and Vice Presi-
dent, or hold any Office, civil or mill
tary, under the United States, or I'M
der any State, who, having previously
taken an oath as a: member of Con
gress, or as q member Of any State
Legislature, or as an executive or ju-
dicial officer Of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrectiOn or
rebellion against the same, or given
aid and comfort to the enemies there
of. But Congress may, by a vote Of
two-thirds of each house, remove such
disability.
SEC. f.. The validity of the public
debt of the United States authorized
by law, including debts incurred for
payment of pensions and bOunties for
services in suppressing insurrection
and rebellion, shall not be questioned
But neither the .. States nor any State
shall assume or pay any debt or Obli-
CATION incurred in aid of insurrectiOn
or rebellion against the United States,
or any claim for the loss or emancipa-
ton of any slave; but all such debts,
obligations, or claims shall be held IL
legal and void.
SEC. 6. Congress shall have power
to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
the provisions of this arti icle.

Miscellaneous.
Another War.

The speeches of the New York con-
vention show plainly that rebellion
is meant if the Democratic party is
successful. The letter which secured
Frank Blair's nomination came out
squarely for revolution. Wade Hamp-
ton, late of the C. S. A., at the ratif-
cation meeting in New York, said:
"We can have no relief unless this
great Democratic party will come out
and pledge itself that we shall have
a fair election-that the white people
Of the South shall vote; and I want
you all to REGISTER AN OATH
THAT WHEN THEY DO VOTE
THAT THESE VOTES SHALL BE
COUNTED, AND IF THERE IS A
MAJORITY OF WHITE VOTES,
THAT YOU WILL PLACE SEY-
MOUR AND BLAIR IN THE
WHITE HOUSE, IN SPITE OF
ALL THE BAYONETS THAT
SHALL BE BROUGHT AGAINST
THEM. I only want to see the cleo
ton fair, and if they do that, even
with the incubus of black rule, we
can carry the Southern States. Ap-
plause.] Gentlemen, as I said, [ do
not like to touch upon these themes.
[Cries of"go on, go ON I only
proposed to come here to give my
Acknowledgements to you-to come

that you have made will meet with
the hearty concurrence of Southern
men. 1 wanted to tell you gratefully
how gratifed I have been at the re-
oeptiOn that you have given u.s."

bels) can have no relief unless the
great Democratic party comes to their
aid. This rebel general wants his
Democratic friends to take an oath
that they will place Seymour and

everything, Which will you have +?

Who is to be Cheated Gov.
Morton on the Democratic
Candidates and Platform.
Gov. Morton, of Indiana, in his
speech at indianapolis last week, thus
plainly showed the gross deception
attempted to be practised by the NOM
inatiOn Of Seymour; the BondboIder's
candidate, no the Peudleton "green-
back" platform. He said:
"Now, my friends, upon the cur.
rency questions, let US look for few
moments at the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party. Who is Horatio Sew
mour? The advocate Of the bonds
being paid in gold; and ten days be-
fore ais nomination he made a speech
in the Cooper Institute, in the city of
New York, in which he argued that
the bouds were payable in gold, aud
that the first duty of the Government
was tO.return to specie payment by
making greenbacks as good as gold.
And yet this man, with his acknow-
lodged opinions, is placed upon a
platform declaring that the bonds
are payable in greenbacks, not only
in the old greenbacks that were madet
during the war, 1--WE have s3G5, ,0OO,-
600 Of them; 300, 900, 900 ofthem were
issued before any of those bonds were
issued; the other S65,000,000 were is
sued cOtempOraneOusly with the is
sues Of these bonds,) but the Demo
cratic platform warrants the payment
of bonds, not only in old, but in the
new greenbacks that may be made
for that purpose, that may be issued
al H6it'm7 until they become worth
less, and until not only the currency,
but the bonds themselves, shall have
been destroyed. This man, with his
known opinions but recently express
ed, was thus placed upon the plat
form, which was drawn to meet the
known views of Mr.. Pendleton. I
ask those who take an interest in
these questions, what kind of conf
dence they can place in a candidate,
or in platform, that is thus made to
deceive, and somebody is to be cheat
ed. Those who believe in paying the
bonds in gold are Invited to vote the
Democratic ticket because of Mr.. Sey-
mour's principles. Those who believe
in paying the bonds in greenbacks
are invited to vote the ticket because
of the platform. 1t is formed to de-
eeive; it is intended to cheat the peo-
pie, but I do not believe it will"

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 80, '68.

| WASHINGTON, D. c., July 80, '68.
| ITO the Editor ofthe Ohio state Journal
After the late storm on the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad, all the pas
sengers Ofthe eastward bound train
arrived, wet, hungry and cold, at
Mount Airy, Nd, a station on the
road. For twenty-four hours many
Of US had had nothing to eat.
Night was. coming on, and there we
would have to stay till morning Of
course we Immediately set out in
search Of provisions. Several large
houses, evidently occupied by rich
people, were near at hand. At the
door at one of these I presented my
self, and politely related our unfOrtu-
nate circumstances, stating, too, that
the ladies and children On the cars
were very hungry, and then l asked
for something to eat, offering to pay
any price that might be asked. The
inhuman monster, an ex-rebel soldier,
.sneered and repIied-'I wish to God
you had all been drowned. [ haven't
bite for any ID Yankees, noith-
er for love nor for money"
We Jared the same way at every
other door where we applied in that
village, and were compelled to 60 on
foot through the mud over a mile, to
a tavern at a little rebel village called
Ridgeville, where,with great difficulty,
we procured a few morsels at exorbi-
tant rates. And what we got was
well seasoned with curses at the
I'D Yankees" All this was on
the 24th day Of July, 1868-not 1861.
These men still wear the gray
clothes, and glory in having fought
for jeff. Davis. Talk to me of the
"chivalry" and "Southern hOspitali-
ty" after such an exhibition Of all
that is deyilish and mean. Those
men laughed to see US starving, and
had no compassion even for the poor
women who were sitting and crying
on the wet cushions of the car that
dreadful night. Talk Of chivalry
now.
One thing more: I said to one of
these fellows, 81 suppose you are q
Seymour man ?" "Seymour hellW
was his elegant reply-for he was a
southern gentleman. "You vote over
there in the United States for whom
.soever you please. We don't care
what ID nigger you elect, Sey.
mOur or Grant; it is all the same to
us. We have nothing to do with
your id niger show" I sub
nit these as specimens Of Southern
chivalry and hospitality, and ask our
Democratic friends to please copy.
Yours truly,
JAMES NJ. DALZELL.

LIFE is a problem that remains un-
solved. Sages gave it up long ago,
and we, who have not the lore Of
Solomon, have no inclination to spend
our time in vague dreams and specu-
Iations, awakening some morning to
find ourselves bankrupt in apprecia-
ton oft. We are here. There is
no help for it. If we choose to put
on green-eyed spectacles and throw
a false coloring over bright scenes; if
we delight in calling the world Ga
dismal cheat" and discourse largely
upon the frailty of human friendship,
we lose the noblest part Of existence ;
giving evidence, beyond doubt, that
we Judge from our fallible selves, and
stand convicted Of being
Shams, to be sure
Once in a while we find coins that
fall with a dull sound, and the fnan-
cier tells you they are counterfeit;
that they somewhat resemble the gen.
uine, but the clear, sharp ringing of
gold or silver is not to be mistaken.
The effort to counterfeit an article
but proves its worth. How great,
then, is the value Of true friendship I
Long ago, while resting in shady
nook, spied bee entangled in a
web. I tore it from its prison-house,
but its wings were trammeled by the
meshes that the cunning spider had
woven around them. Carefully, pa
tiently, went through the tedious
task of unwinding the threads, till
the insect was free to roam through
iIlimitabIe space. Imagine my sur
prise, to feel a quick, sharp sting, as
it crePt slowly from my hand. Only
for a moment Indignation seized me.
Poor beel I will not chide you for
ingratitude, when remember parallel
cases among creatures endowed with
reasoning faculties, where heart and
soul are so cold and warped that only
evil is the recompense for good deeds.
I went on giving liberty to captive
bees. Most of them raised their
wings, and flew away gladly, peering
into rich flowers and bringing up
stores of honey with commendable
diligence. The fcw ingrates but
remind us Of the fallen nature we
mortals bear.
