since the election, he has been
lusticating, fishing, and having
a good time generally at Put

returned. Putting his trunks
and fish on board the train at
Sandusky he was soon whirled
to Clyde, a station on the O.
and r. Railroad, when he
changed cars to make a flying
visit to Fremont. Going to the
baggage master at Clyde the
Governor soon had his trunks
checked to Fremont, and asked
also for one for his fish

thinking if he would make
known his official position he
could get his fish checked, said

county. He can't be happy
unless he can see an African
vote. How well pleased he
was when he succeeded in get
ting Job to vote after dark
even fifteen minutes after six.
He even referred to the dark
transaction in the Record, and
justified the polling of the
black and illegal vote by say
ing that the Democratic Aud
itor of this county-Henry
Reynolds-took a niger to
the polls in this township about
fifteen years ago. That state
ment of course is false-not a
word Of truth III lt-and every
old citizen Of the town and
township knows it to be false )
and the peevish carpet-bagge'
ofthe Record ought not to be
guilty of publishing such a base
lie about an old citizen. Such
lies even make honest Repub
licans blush. Shame on you
Raper! Persuade an African
barber to vote, and then say
a Democrat led a nigger to the

you forgotten about the ac
count that Ananias and Sapphi
ra were called upon to settle

The defeat of the pugnac'
ious and ambitious Andy
johnson for the United States
Senatorship in Tennessee has
been the subject Of much com
ment and various expressions
Of opinion. Little sympathy
is felt for him anywhere. His
manifold sins returned upon
him in a heap, and even his III
domitable pugnacity broke
down under the load. The
only interest felt for him grew
out of the desire to see him in
the Senate to expose and mad
den the corrupt and wicked
shoddyites with whom he form
erIy associated, and of whose
crimes he possesses peculiar and
perhaps exclusive knowledge
This was the only merit John
son had. HerIwould have been
a blister on the administration;
and to show that Grant and
his crowd knew it and feared
him tits only necessary to look
demonstrations ofrej ejoicingo
Andy's defeat. 1t Is possible
that the jubilations are prema
ture. Should the pious parson
Brownlow happily be gathered
to that frey place he so ar
dently invokes for his enemies,
Andy Johnson may yet turn up
the Senate, and crafty his ap-
petite for vengeance.
