THE Courier quotes or our special
benefit the views Of Mr. HALsTEAD,
of the Cincinnati Commerclal on the
Impeachment. The Lom71erc.al has
some reputation as good netgs paper,
out it does not claim TO be an organ
Of the Republican party. but, upon
the contrary, expressly repui dates any
such relation to the politics Of the
country. It is not regarded by Re
publicans as a sound exponent of
political measures; and has done as
much as any Democratic newspaper
in the country to injura and disor
ganize the Union party Of Ohio and
Newest. Any person who reads or
quotes from it as a Republican jour
nal, is greatly mistaken From the
beginning It has opposed the I'm
parchment movement, and its leading
correspondent, Mack, from whom
the Courier frequently quotes has
been a persistent and open opponent
Of the whole Congressional policy of
reconstruction. The views of Mr.
HALsTEAD and his correspondent
" Mack" are entitled to thei same.

respectable journalist, but cannot be

"A Specimen Brick.
lFrom the Cairo Democrat.

In the fall of 1864, aqprlnter a
named J., T Elliott applied for q
situation in the Democrat office.
He was ragged, ty,penniless and
hungry. We pitied him, and af-
ter giving him some money to sup
ply his immediate wants, gave him
"stick and case" In an hour
or two after he began work, a COM
mittee appointed by our regular
journeymen waited upon and IN
formed us that their self.respect
forbade them to work beside such
man-that be was covered with
filth and vermin, had the itch, and
emitted stencil which sickened
them. We examined the matter,
and informed the man that he must
discontinue work and wash, and
cure himself Our printers con-
tributed literally, and supported
him while he used sulphur, and
endeavored to drive away the aro-
ma which he carried about his per-
son, and which bore no resemb-
lance to the perfume of roses. He
was only partly successful, and
was assigned a place in the office
as far from the other workmen as
possible.
In a few weeks after his appear
ance in the city, he concluded he
would 60 into the newspaper busi-
ness, and issued the prospectus of

| a hundred subscribers at three dol

next we heard from him, he was
publishing a Radical paper at Jack
sonport, hob-nobbing with negroes
and talking about loyalty. j. 7.

We have no doubt many OF our
citizens remember this man. A
more depraved specimen OF human

most imbecile, he was an object to

of the statesmen which reconstruc-

the Southern States God have
mercy on the unfortunate people
who are ruled by such men. May
his curse fall upon the party which

do not rise and die in arms rather
than submit to the degradation Of
