Republican party in Sc. to the Union
party in '6l, to the Know Nothing
party-to all of which STAN. replied
yes. Pending action on the measure,
the Senate took recess until ten
O'Clock this morning, when the bill
came up again. There was rambling
discussion, during which Gen. Potts
offered an amendment, providing that
persons who had been in the rebellion
should be excluded from the privilege
of voting. This was promptly voted
down BY the Democracy.
Burrows rep. in speaking of the
number of parties Stambaugh had been
a member of, called to mind the scene
in the Philadelphia Know Nothing Con-
vention, of which Stambaugh was
prominent member. There being evi-
dences of split in the party, Stam-
baugh rose to his feet, and, in his
peculiar nasal twang, urged unity of
action and harmony, and, further, pro-
claimed his and his oontituency's in
oCheiOu VI iCuidiuiuS tIuc W tiiC pdi
and wound up with the following SEN
tence: GAS long as grass grows and
water runs, Sandy Valley will be true
to the Union" Zollicoffer, of Tennes-
see, sitting by, sprung to his feet, and,
in exact imitation of Stambaugh, ex-
claimed: where in the h is Sandy
Valley. and who the d are you?"
This interrogatory set the Conven-
ton in roar, and the name of Sandy
Valley has stuck to STAN. ever SINCE
The joke can be better appreciated
when it is known that Sandy Greek,
whose valley was to remain loyal, is a
creek on the borders of Stark county,
which is not laid down on any map
Burrows set the Senate in roar, and
brought Siam. to his legs with me-
chanical jerk. 'Mr. President, l pro-
nounce that base lie!" were the first
words he spoke. ''Order," said the
President. 81 desire to" 'Order."
81 mean to-" "Take your seat, SIR"
eyes, sir" And the Tuscarawas chief
fell beneath the gavel of the Seneca
warrior.
Of course the story is traditionary,
and comes from the Senator's own sec
ton, and Burrows told it as he heard
it.

~ Some one has invented a
STEAM MAN, which is said to perform
wonderful things. The ". r o.
server speaks of it as follows:
"The Steam Man is no hoax. We
have seen him, steam up, legs flying
and all going. A figure in human
shape, with a boiler inside of him
and fire blazing, has the necessary
machinery at his back to make his
legs go alternately, and with power
sufficient to draw as much as horse.
This is small man. 1t may be
made of two, three, or four horse
power, and to move at the rate of 10
or Is miles an hour, with load on a
common road. This fellow came
over from Newark by the ordinary
road when the snow made the travel
bad. The whole cost of man
engine, ready to draw, is.about $500.
1t costs about fifteen cents day to
keep him in coal, which is the only
feed he needs. If you are in Broad
way, 533, by all means step in, and
see the operation"

H Copperhead papers and ora
tors speak of the Tenure of-office
bill as though its provisions were
something new-an unheard of, un-
warrantable interference with the
rights and prerogatives of the Presi-
dent. And yet Henry Clay--a man
whom these same politicians now de-
light to honor-in his life time was
the author of similar bill, which re-
ceived not only his support, but also
that of Daniel Webster and Thomas
Ewing. In 1885 there was lengthy
discussion in the Senate of the Uni
ted States upon the power of appint-
ment and removal, and Mr.. Clay
offered the following amendment to
a bill then pending, to wit:
"Be 1t further enacted, That in all
instances of appointment to Office by
the President, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. the power
or removal shall be exercised in con-
currence with the Senate; and when
the Senate is not in session, the Presi-
dent may suspend any such officer,
communicating his reasons for the
suspension during the first month Of
its succeeding session, and if the
Senate concur with him, the officer
shall be removed; but if it do not
concur with him, the officer shall be
restored to office"
This amendment contains every
principle, though in condensed
form, of the Tenure of-office law, and
the following statement of the, re-
marks of Mr.. Ewing touching this
matter, come in very appropriately
just now, in view of his present po-
sitien:
"Mr. Ewing spoke at length upon
the question of removals, maintain
ing that the Constitution does not
confer on the President alone the
power of removal-that it is matter
of legislative provision, subject to be
vested, modified, changed, or taken
away at their will; and if it is not
regulated at all by law, it rests in the
President, in conjunction with the
Senate, as part of the appointing
power"
If it is ''radicalism" to support
such law now, then were these men,
Clay, Webster and Ewing-equally
radical in their opinions.

R The copperhead johnson let
ter writers from Washington, in an
swer to their masters nod, and with q
view of making ridiculous the matter
OF impeachment, have sent forth the
statement that, in view of Mr.. Wade's
probably accession to the Presidency,
ne has already been beset by scores
OF persons soliciting Offices at his
hands. Like all the stuff that emi-
mates from the same quarter, there is
not a word of truth in it. It is a
wholesale lie, manufactured in the
interests of Andy johnson, by his
corrupt, despicable tools.

@ Democrats, alias copperheads,
are great lovers of tax payers
wouldn't spend their money unneces-
sarily-give them power and the
peoples work would be quickly and
economically performed-they feel
for the burdened taxpayers so much,
that they would do all this and much
more. This is their talk just previous
to an election. But let us look at facts,
instead of professions, and see how
near the reality comes to the picture
The people, last fall, trusted their
professions, and gave them the
Legislature. What have they done2
They have passed taOenty sir general
laws! They have been in session
thirteen weeks, at cost per week of
ever $4,000. That multiplied by
thirteen will make the total exp enses
of the Legislature for the thirteen
weeks, $4,000. Then divide the
last amount by twenty. six, the num-
Der of laws they have passed, and
you have S5, 1000 as the cost of each
law enacted by this economical legis-
lature! What great regard they must
have for the tax payer!

~ Conspicuous among the demo
cratic orators stands Henry Clay
Dean, of Iowa. He was sent, by the
party, to New Hampshire. to speak
for the copperhead ticket, and here is
an extract from one of his speeches.
Read it carefully, and mark what he
says of "one legged and one armed
soldiers"
"If | could have my way I would
place jeff Davis in Congress, where
he rightfully belongs; then l would
60 to Concord, take all these miser-
able battle flags from the State
House, and make a bonfire of them
in the State House yard, then l would
go through the North, and destroy all
the monuments and gravestones erec-
ted to the memory of soldiers; in
short, would put out of sight every
thing which reminds us that we ever
had a war with our Southern breth-
rem. | do not know as would hang
one-legged and one EARNED soldiers,
but l would pray to God to get them
out of cur way as coon as possible.
Is it any wonder that New Hamp-
shire went Republican, after being
treated to such vile slang as the
above. If any soldier can vote the
copperhead ticket, after reading
Henry Clay Dean, he has got less
manhood than we have heretofore
credited him with.

@- The following letter, from a
gentleman well posted upon the sub
ject of which he writes, shows how
corrupt and dishonest the present ad-
m:nistration has become since it went
over 10 the democracy. Andy John
son, if for nothing else, deserves to be
impeached for keeping such men in Of
fee. He seems to have appointed to
Office the very worst specimens of his
new friends he could find, and the re-
suit is theiving by the wholesale. The
letter was written to q Republican
member of Congress.
CHICAGO, Mar. 81, 1868.
This place is wholly sold out to the
whisky ring, distillers, revenue officers
and all. | do not think there is a
worse spot on the footstool, and every
body connected with the service, is
disgraced by the fact that the depart
ment at Washington allows it to con-
tinue. | am sick at heart and disgust
ed with the charges which are made by
honest men against those in charge of
revenue matters at Washington. We
all suffer together. Mr.. Rollins, the
Secretary, the Committee of Ways and
Means, Congress, and every honest
Revenue officer, are each vilifed and
charged with being in "cohoots,' or
friends of the ring. 1t is too bad, and
unless something is soon done to clean
out these dishonest officers who are
sucking the life out of our public credit,
we shall see revolution. l wish L
could see you face to face. l am. too
much disgusted to write as | feel.

WASHINGTON, March 90.


WASHINGTON, March 28.
The President last evening issued an
order assigning Gen Hancock to the
command of the Department of the At
lantic, with headquarters in this CITY,
This move on the part of the President
has caused considerable comment in
political circles this morning, and it is
believed to be the first move toward
having the control of the national troops
here in ease he should go so far as to
attempt to resist impeachment. The
order assigning Gen. Hancock to the
new command had not been issued at
Gen. Grants headquarters this morn
ing, but it is expected that it will be
done to-day. After Gen. Hancock as
sumes command, Gen. Gordon Granger
will be assigned by the President to the
of this District, in place of
Gen. Emory; at least Gen. Grant stated
this morning that he believed this
would be done.

E The Ohio Legislature, though
having done but little, and with ne
expectation of doing much more, it
is said, will not adjourn until after the
close of the impeachment trial The
reason of this is on the supposition
that there will be Senator to elect
in place of Mr.. Wade, upon his be-
coming acting President, and the
democracy wish to be in position
to fill the vacancy as soon as it oc-
ours. AS we understand the matter,
there will be no vacancy in the Sena-
torial delegation from Ohio, and
hence no Senator to elect, even
should Mr.. Wade become acting
President. If Mr.. Wade succeeds to
the Presidential office, it will be
simply for the reason that he is a
commissioned U. S. Senator, and for
none other. The moment MS COM
mission expires as Senator that mo-
ment he must vacate the White
House, and if, at that time, Presi-
dent has not been elected, the office
must be filed by some other Senator,
who is qualified fer it by his election
as Presiding officer of the Senate.
Our democratic Legislature would do
well, therefore, not to wait for the
result of the impeachment trial, in
the hopes of getting another grab at
the public Treasury, as there will be
no vacancy in the Senatorial delega-
tien, and hence no room for Vallan
digham or any other of their bright
lights. Better adjourn and save the
peoples money.

~ An important amendment to
the tax law has just been passed by
the Ohio Legislature. Though in
troduced by Republican-Mr.
Scott, of Warren-it received enough
support from the democratic side to
insure its passage. 1t provides that
in returning moneys on hand for
taxation, the average amount held
during the year shall be reported,
and not the amount on hand at the
close of the fiscal year in April, as
heretofore. This will result in bring
ing on the Duplicate over S50,000,-
600, probably, which has heretofore
escaped taxation by temporarily be-
ing invested in government bonds
about the time property is listed for
taxation. It is the most important
measure that has yet passed the
Legislature, and we are glad TO note
the fact that it received the support
of quite a number Of democrats.

ew The Dispatch ''peoples" have
at the head of its columns an extract
from one of the speeches of Daniel
Webster, which has certainly not
been very critically studied or else,
it seems to US, it would not appear
there, since the action of the Ohio
Senate in the Jones-Onderdonk case.
That great Statesman and expounder
of the Constitution, in the extract re-
ferred to, in speaking Of certain
class of politicians, said, "If tney
ever get power in their hands, they
will override the Constitution, SCI
THE SUPREME COURT AT DE-
FIANCE," &c. He must have had
a prophetic vision, and saw before
him the scenes of 1857 and 1868,
and especially the work Of the cop
perheads of the Ohio Senate. They
have done the very thing which he
foretold would come to pass, and
thus, in the words of the heading of
the extract as it appears in the Dis
patch, is the Prophecy Fulfilled. =
We would advlse our neighbor to
change his text, as his present one is
a continual reminder Of the infsmy of
the party which he represents. Look
over the speeches Of JEFF. Davis and
Breckenridge, and you will, no doubt,
find something much more suitable
as motto than anything ever uttered
by Daniel Webster,
