w that has become Of 1t?

In alluding to the appeal Of Col.
Nugle for contribution of only
seventy pounds sterling to pay the
expenses Of motions for new trial
ofthe convicted Fenians, Warrea
and Costelly, the New York Citizen
innocently asks, '.What has become
of the fifty thousand dollars which
we believe was appropriated for the
relief OF the Fenian prisoners. ou
The Citizen has more faith in the
honesty Of the Radical politicians in
Congress than any one bcrea bouts,
if it believes that such an appropri-
alton either was made, or was ever
intended to be made. 1t is true
that resolution to this effect was
brought forward and passed through
the House of Representatives, but
it was never intended to becom .
law, or be made available, and it
was quietly slclved in Senate
committee room. The Radical
m members of the House have to 20
before the people this summer and
autumn for reelection. Thepassage
Of the Fenian relief resolution
through that branch was, therefore,
expcdient. 1t was party dodge TO
enable these Radical candidates for
Congress to claim that they voted
for such an appropriation, while their
Senatorial confrcres-Conncss, Sum
ner Il Go. --took care that the res
olution should be smothered in the
Senate. This is the usual way in
which this Radical Congress keeps
the word Of promise to tho ear and
breaks it to the hope. All Of its
action in reference to the protection
ef naturalized citizens has been Of
this character. It has been simply
a cheat and snare, intended to
deceive and entrap our adopted cit
liens, without for moment doing
anything whatever practically in
their. behalf. -In.elligcncer. at1

1.-The Democratic party is re-
sponsible for the lat war; This is
the cry of every radical paper In
the country The Democratic par
ty was beaten in the election qof
1850, that defeat was disastrous
to the country, all good men who
want peace and prosperity should
vote for Seymour and Blair. Un.
der their administration peace will
be re -esta blishcd, the union rsstor-
ed, taxes reduced. one currency es-
tablished for bondholdcr and plow-
holder, and the government admin
istred with rigid economy. Honest
Republicans who suffer under the
present RECKLESS aud corrupt admin
istration should reflect upon these
things aud vote for Seymour and
Blair Utica Democrat.

olated fields into gardens Of beauty
and prosperity. The heart stricken
people would once moro be jubilaat,
and million Of dwellings once more
be the abodes ofhappiness. Try it,
-and if there is anything teacha bic
in human nature, the result will be
magical. not only upon the minds
and hearts Of the people, but upon
all their material interests. Try it,
and where the South is now crippled
and where the future seems covered
all over with darkness, light will
burst forth. The $50, 900, 900 paid
in taxes would then ere long become
$3.50, 900, 900. Property would ad-
vance, neglected sugar, cotton. rice.
and tobacco plantations would be
cultivated. Gold would fall, green
backs would rise, ana the long de-
ferred hope which maketh the heart
sick, would be established, No
sensible humitarian need fear the
effect Of such policy upon man
kind or upon the county. The ne
gro is free, and there is no white
man of'inteligence in all the South
who wozld seek to change his rela-
tions. Secession is dead by the
results Of the war, and by the ack-
nowledgments ofall the great lead
ers of the South. Self-government
is all that is asked in the right of
the white race to govern sonth of the
Potomac as they govern north Of it.

Of fifty thousand, Michigan for her

the South also asks at the hands of
the yernment,--though indeed.
as question Of right between tho
States and citizens, it is a subject
over which the Federal Government
has no control Self-government is
the life of the Republic. It means
Peace, Order, Civil and, Religious
Liberty, and no people can rightful-
" be deprived of it. Give it to the
South, and in less than one year the
Union will be fully restored and the

been at . loss to understand the
many that have come from radical
sources. .:
The following figures will show a
comparative statement of the debt
in 5 20 bonds which the democratic
party propose to pay, and the debt
in the same bonds which the radical
party propose to pay. Tho bonds
were made payable in greenbacks,
by radical congress, at the end of
90 years from the date of issue, or
about ID years from the present time
the interest at 6 per cent, payable
in gold. The radical party now
proposes to pay the debt in gold, at
the end of 40 years, and the inter-
est at 4 l., per cent, in gold for
that time. The following statement
is made on the basis of grcenbacks,
with gold worth 145, and will show
what each plan is to cost the coun-
try: ".2

The statement is fair one, and
the figures may be easily justified.
The result is incvitablc. 1t is, that
the, radical party, in spite of the
contract, law, and Justice, propose
to extract by. taxation from the peo-
pie $3, $40, 600, 900 more than the
people arc called upon to pay. In
other words, the radical party con-
templates more than doubling the
present debt, 50 far as the taxpay-
ers Of this country concerned.
How do the people like the prospect?

TRIAL; OF Mr.. DAvIs.-By the terms o!
his last recognizance, Mr.. Davis is required
to be present on this the last day Of the fall
term of the United States Circuit Court
1t is probable, however, that the recogni-
zance will be renewed without his personal
attendance.
The trial will come off some time during
the present month. or as soon as Chief JUS
tice Chase is through with the impeachment
business. His absence is the only reason
now given for delay, as it is thought that
under the new Indictment, with such jury
as will be obtained, the conviction of Mr..
Davis will be inevitable. Judge Under

FREAKS OF A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.-Several
days ago persons coming to town by the
Brook turnpike met long train OF carts
loaded with wood going from the city. The
front cart was driven by rather wild look
ing woman, who stood up, with foot on
either shaft of the vehicle. The other carts
were driven by men, one Of whom being
asked the meaning of the strange procession,
said that the woman in front had bought all
the wood they had, and wanted more-all
she could get. The procession moved on
until they had gone at least three miles from
Richmond, when the feminine leader came
to halt and ordered the wood to be thrown
right down on the roadside.
The suspicious of the poor cartmen had
before been aroused, but now they knew
something was wrong, and needing neither
the command nor the threats of Madame,
again turned their horses heads towards the
city, feeling, as may be imagined, sold, .
and sold cheap. Wc'next hear Of the wo-
man at the house of MIR. Stevens, near
the Brook church, where she was attempt
ing to purchase u COW that pleased her
fancy. Stevens couldn't sell the cow,
as it did not belong to him, and SO
it, and away she went after the animal,
chasing her for more than an hour through
wood and field, until at'ength Mr.. Stevens
forcibly interposed. Unfortunately, the
woman's anger was aroused, and she at
once dealt upon him such blows with a
stick that he was compelled to resent. Be-
lieving her to be deranged, he had her
brought to town, but in some manner she
got Oft again.
On Thursday Mr.. Stevens was arrested
on warrant obtained by mulatto who
claimed to be her brother, though she had
previously been supposed to be white. Mr.;
Stevens was arraigned for assaulting and
beating the woman named in the warrant
as Mary Jane Sullivan, but was, of course,
promptly acquitted.
"Alrs. Sullivan" is still at large. 1t IL
supposed that she is an escaped lunatic,
possibly from Williamsburg.

THE CAUCUS OF CoUNCILMEN which has
been in session several times during the
past week, for the purpose of nominating to
the City Council suitable persons to fill the
various offices, have failed to unite on any
particular person, except in one instance.
They have unanimously determined to re-
commend John Oliver as messenger for
the City Council.
We have reason to believe that the Coun-
Gil will, on Monday next, rcscind its action
of last Monday evening, and make the re-
concentrations for city officers, as requested
by General Schofeld- a few weeks since.
Should they, however, fail to do SO, q few
of the offices will be filled at once, without
waiting for the action of the Council. No
appointments will, we think, be made for
city officers until after Monday.
