The Rump and tIle FIag.

Sergeant Bates, the man who arrived
with the United States flag all the way
from Vicksburg, Miss, to Warrington,
D. c., on foot, in order to demonstrate
the unrelinquished affection of the South
ern people for that emblem Of the Union
arrived at the latter city on the 14th inst,
and met with an enthusiastic reception
from the people.
The trooly-loil Bump now in possess
ion Of the Capitol, however refused,
though their officers, who descended to
a pretty trick for the purpose, to permit
the flag to be unfurled from the dome Of
the building. The objection to the Ser
geant's flag was, doubtless, that it had
too many stars onit,more at any rate than
the Radical theory of the Union just at
present calls for. Disguised attheir mean.
ness, the Sergeant very properly retired
with his flag and dafurled it from the
Washington Monument, where, floating
from the top Of that splendid memorial,
erected by grateful nation to man
whose farewell advice to his countrymen
was to beware Of the influence Of Sec
tional parties; it seemed all the more
stinging a rebuke to the parricides in
the Capitol, who had disregarded the
warning, and who are still living illus
trations of its WISDOM Cincinnati En-

HE RAgfrCAL TICKET.
For President in 1865,
GENERAL q. S. GRANT.

The Radical majority in New Hamp-
shire was reduced from 3,146 in 1867 to
2,488 in 1868, Democratic gain in one
year Of 658.
The Democratic majority in Connecti-
cut was increased from 987 in 1867 to l,
7S1 in 1868, a Democratic gain in one year
of 794.
The Spring elections throughout the
United States show large gains for the
Democracy.
All the result of the Ubiquitous acts
Of The Jacobins; the people are deter.
mined that the Negro shall not rule The
White man.
The Radicals can easily ascertain
Grants prestige by calculating back,
wards and forwards the per cent on the
above figures.

MGConneIsviIle Democratic.

By letter from Hon. J. M. Gaylord,
of McConnelsyille, we learn that, on yes
terday, the Democracy of McConnels-
vile elected the corporation ticketof that
village by o majority of 80. The like
has not occurred before in the last fifteen
yearsl This is a "straw" indicating a
strong wind blowing Radicalism out Of
sight.
The entire Democratic ticket of Nor
gan township, in which McConnelsville is
situated, was elected by an average ma
jority of 20. Last fall, the township
gave Hayes radical for Goyernor) ma
jority of 40. It never went Democratic
before, in the memory of the eldest in
habltant."
This is most glorious for McConnels-
vile, and, naturally enough, its Democ-
.racy are jubilant over the result, as the
harbinger of better days for civil liberty
and republican constitutional govern
ment.-ZdnespiZe ,Ssdsdl.

I
eve are called upon to chronicle
the death of several of our esteemed cit
izens within the past few days:
John Durham, ESQ.,, son Of DR.. John
Durham, decd, died on Thursday last,
and was buried with Masonic honors on
Saturday. The Bar-of which he was a
member-also attended his funeral in a
body. se
On Saturday last, Mr.. james Taggart,
one of our oldest citizens, after linger-
ing illness, departed this llfe. His re-
mains were followed to the grave on Sum
day last by very large concourse of peo-
pie. He was the head of a numerous
and highly respected family-having
children, grand children and great grand
children residing in several States.
Mr.. Joseph Patton, son of Mr.. John
Patton, merchant of this place, died on
Tuesday morning last; He leaves ayoung
widow and many relatives to mourn his
loss. Thus it is, death is no respecter Of
age-the old and the young pass down to
the grave together.-&. Glairsuille Ga

The Democrats elected their Mayor
on the 14th inst, at Albany, New York,
by about 5000 majority-a tremendous
gain.
Hon. James Guthrie was striken with
paralysis at Louisville, Kentucky, few
days ago, and serious fears of the result
are entertained by his family and friends.
Wendell Philips reiterates his decla-
ration that the habits of Grant are not
such as would tend to make him fitting
President Of Temperance Society-nor
of any thing else.
The Chicago Tribune says the latest
intelligence on the subject of Senator
Yates is thata committee of Republican
Senators have notified him that he must
do one of three things, viz: !. Behave
himself; OF, 2. Resign; or, 3. Be expelled.
Last spring the Democracy elected but
one officer, a Trustee, by bare majority.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, April 15.-The
Illinois State Convention met here to-
day, and instructed for Pendleton amid
the widest cheers. Not even the great
name and far-reaching personal magnet
ism of Douglas himself, in his palmiest
days in this State, could have elected
more enthusiasm than was exhibited in
the Convention for Mr.. Pendleton, which
was but fair reflex of the feeling prev
alent all over the State.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Convention was promptly called to
order at noon by General John A. Nc
Clernand, Chairman Of the State Central
Committee. General Murray McCon-
nell, Of Morgan, was elected temporary
Chairman, and James NJ. Davidson, of
Hancock, temporary Secretary. The
committees of one from each Congress
ional District were then selected on Cred
entails and Permanent Organizations,
and the Convention adjourned until two
o'clock.
At two o'clock the Convention was
called to order by the temporary Chair
man.
The Committee on Credentials then
reported that every county was repre-
sented in the Convention.
The Committee on Permanent Organ
ization reported on permanent officers as
follows:
For President, Anthony M. Thornton,
of Shelby; four Secretaries, and one Vice
president from each Congressional Dis
trict.
Mr.. Thorton, on being escorted to the
Chair, by James G. Robinson, made a
short and forcible speech, which was re-
ceived with unbounded enthusiasm.
A copmittee of one from each Con-
gressional District was then appointed
severally ON resolutions, to nominate
candidates to the National Democratic
Convention, and to select State Cen
trail Committee.
The Committee on Resolutions, through
their Chairman, VIM. A. Richardson, Of.
fered report setting forth the prinei-
piles of the party, indorsing Mr.. Pendle-
ton, and instructing the delegates to the
National Convention to vote for him as a
unit and use all honorable means to ef-
feet his nomination. The whole re-
port was unanimously adopted, amid the
widest enthusiasm.

AGood story ON Butler.

A Southern correspondent writes:
There is a loose darkey about Willard s
Hotel named Tom. You can bribe Tom
to do anything. The other day there was
a dinner party given by New York
contractor, at which it was understood
that Ben. Butler would be guest. Some
disloyal wag, without the fear of Congress
before him, got hold of Tom, fed him
liberai'y, and put him up to piece Of
outrageous and reasonable tom foolery.
After the plates were served, the host
said, aThat will do, Tom; you can CO.
But Tom did not 60. Observing that
his orders were not obeyed, ths contrac-
tor repeated, 81 told you to go, Tom; IT
/ want you, III ring for you"
But Tom hung about the door and did
not retire. At last, very much worried
at his contumacy, New York turned upon
Ethiopia and said sternly, attracting the
whole company, eve told you twice to
leave the room, and by -, I'll be obey
ed or put you out myself"
Tom approached the table humbly, and
replied in subdued tone, but loud
enough to be heard by all present, eff
you please, sir, I can't 60; I'm obliged to
stay
"The hill you are! What for?'
"Well, sab, if I mast tell, I must. 7
axes Mars Buffers pardon, but I'm spon-
sible for de spoons. Dem spoons is sill
yer, and I was specially set to watch EN-.
I can't go, sab. It's as much as my place
is wuf, sah."
The sequel can better be imagined than
described.

The ohio LegisIafure. D

There are many reasons why the Legis-
iature should not adjourn until after the
conviction or acquittal Of the President
Should the President be deposed, Wade
weighed down by his blasphemous tongue,
would enter the White House. which
would in the opinion of many create a
vacancy in the U. s. Senate Of one mem.
Der.
Should a.vacancy be declared, the Leg
islature would undoubtedly select Dem
oorat to fill it; but were it to adjourn pre-
vious to the conclusion of the trial, and
the President be deposed, that duty would
deEolyc upon Gov. Hays, who would un-
doubtedly appoint Radical.
Again: War is among the possible
things to result from the deposition of
the President; and in that event, the Leg
islature ought to be in session to throw
every obstruction in the way of the Rev
olutionists, to prevent the triumph of an
archy and despotism over free American
principles, rights and privileges.

ssTo Preserve the Purity of Elec.
tions.o

Inthe General Assembly of the State
of Ohio, on the 18th inst, the Democrats
passed bill ITO prescribe the duties Of
Judges of elections in certain cases, and
to preserve the purity of elections"
The Radicals fought this bill bitterly,
because its effect will be TO deprive them
Of forty thousand negro votes, upon which
they have heretofore depended to carry
them through in Ohio. No Negro OF
person tainted with visible admixture
of African blood can vote under this
Law.
The vote on its passage stood: Demo.

against the passage of law, the proyis,

WASHINGTON, April Is.
SENATE.

After the reading Of the journal, Mr..
Edmunds offered an amendment to Mr..
Summers order, SO that additional ar
guments of the Managers shall be filed
before the conclusion Of the closing ar
gument.
Mr.. CONFESS offered substitute, al
lowing as many to speak on both sides as
desire, provided only four days be con-
sumed by each side. Lost-19 to 27.
Mr. Doelittle offered an amendment,
that the opposing counsel speak alter
|nately until all finished
Mr.. Drake moved to postpone the sub
ject indefinitely. Agreed to-34 to Is.
Mr.. Evarts said although Mr.. Stan
berry was not yet able to be present, yet
wishing to avoid delay, counsel would
proceed to offer documentary evidence
to day and hoped they could tomorrow
60 on with oral testimony.
Mr.. D. G. Clark, Executive Clerk ofthe
Senate, verified the message nominating
Thomas Ewing as Secretary Of War, re.
ceived February 22d.
Mr.. Curtis then offered the message
dated February 24th, in response to the
Senate resolution.
Mr.. Butler objected.
Here lengthy argument ensued be-
tween Butler, Evarts, Curtis and Bing.
ham. At the conclusion the Chief Jus.
tice said:
Senators, there is MO branch Of the
law where there is more difficulty to lay
down the precise rules than that which
regards the intent with which an act il
done. In tae present case itappears tha
the Senate on the 21st Of February
passed resolution which | will takt
the liberty of reading:
WHEREAS, The Senate have received
and considered the communication of th'
President stating that he had removed
3. M. Stanton, Secretary Of War, ant
had designated the Adjutant General o
the army to act as Secretary of War az
interim, therefore.
Resolued, by tie Senate Of the Uaitet
States, That under the Constitution and
laws of the United States the Presiden
has no power to remove the Secretary o
War and to designate any other officer
to perform the duties of that Office, &C
interim. sssss9..s :.
That resolution was adopted on th'
21st of February, and was served on th,
evening of the same day. The message
now proposed to be offered in evidence
was sent to the Senate on the 24th oil
February. It does not appear to the
Chief Justice that 1t comes within any
rule of evidence which would Justify iii
being received in the evidence. Tht
Chief Justice, however, viii take the views
of the Senate in regard to it.
No vote being called for the Chic
Justice then ruled the evidence inadmis
sable.
All Of the evidence offered during to
days proceedings was documentary.
The last offered was document from
the Navy Department.
While Mr.. Butler was examining 1t
the Senate took a recess Of fifteen min
utes. !

The Impeachment.

The impeachment Of the President was
not entered into with any expectation Of
deposing him, by any evidence thatcould
be adduced; but with determination to
depose him in order that Gen. Grant
might secure the Electoral vote of the
ten Southern States.
The evidence on the part of the prose
cution, which closed some two weeks
since, would not be considered by Po-
lice Judge sufficient to imprison man
arraigned, charged with petit larceny.
History will record it as the most com
|plete failure since the world began.
Thurlow Weed, the leader of the OPP
position of the Democracy, in New York,
thus reads the sentence Of the men who
brought the war upon the country and
who are now the leaders in the impeaeh-
ment trial:
aThe political excesses and rapacity Of
the Radical leaders will both emphasize
and shorten their history. The leaders Of
impeachment are digging a pit large
enough for the slain and the slayeTs, @Da-
Wis, Slidcll, Toombs, Mason, Benjamin,
& Co., are held in abhorrence now for four
years of rebellion and war. Sumner,
Chandler, Butler, Boutwell,, Stevens and
Ashly, loyal as they were during the re-
bellion, will be held responsible for the
consequences of four years Of civil strife
consequences fatal to the union, pros.
perity, and happiness of the American
people. These men, like the RED Re.
publicans' of Madam Roland's day, have
been perpetratlng outrages in the sacred
name of freedom. II, as it now seems
probable, the President shall be convicted,
every member Of Congress prominently
responsible for his taking off, may ex-
claim with Cardinal Wolsey, "a long fare
well to all my greatness, for not one Of
them will survive politically beyond their
present terms.
Radicals may gaze upon their profles
in all their hideousness in the above.
