A Livery Nan Sold.

A day or two since a stranger step
ped into livery stable in this city,
and desired to hire horse and buggy
to go to East Cleveland. The proprf'
etOr Of the establishment, who hap.
pened to be in, not knowing the man,
told him it would be necessary to get
some one who knew him to vOuch for
him, or else he could not let him have
a team, as he had suffered SO much
by letting horses and buggies tOstran'
gers that he had concluded not to do
1t any more, unless some one whom
he knew could Voueh for the stran.
gers honesty. The man eOolly asked
how much horse and buggy was
worth, and being informed that the
price of a good rig was $3.50, he pulled
out roll Of bills, and counted out
that sum, handed it over to the pro-
prietor of the stable, remarking at the
same time, al suppose if I bring the
rig back at the end of couple OF
hours all right, you will refund me
the money p" Certainly replied
the livery man, and away went the
stranger with his horse and bugpy.-
AT the end of the allotted time he re.
turned, and, calling the proprietor of
the stable, asked him to inspect the
rig and see If everything was all
right. The livery man carefully ex.
amined both the buggy and the ami.
imal, and finding everything in good
shape, handed the stranger his $3.50,
who thereupon started to depart. The
stable keeper called him back, and
gently insinuated that he had forgot
ten to pay for the use. of the rig. Said
the stranger, ''Do you take me for
fool? Pm not in the habit of paying
for the use OF my own horse and bug~
gy," and walked of. The sell was a
good one, and the livery man won't
hear the last of it for some days to
come. - Cleveland Herald. 1C

The ImperiaIist.

A new journal with the above title
has just appeared in New York. It
repudiates Democracy as a humbug,
and advocates monarchy. AS the
presentation of such ideas on this side
of the Atlantic is something novel,
we publish what the LplperidLiSE an
nounces as its "platform.n sa 81
Though unannouuced, this Journal
is no unexpected. 1t is the open ex-
preston of opinions long held and
cherished by thousands of intelligent
men and women, who will hail its
advent as the beginning of a pew era
in the political history of America.
''The platform of the ImperiaIist is
evolutionary; its object is to prepare
the American people for a revolution
that is as desirable as 1t is inevitable.
1--WE believe Democracy to be. a
failure. Though theoretically plausi-
BILE, in its practical workings it has
been found totally Inadequate to the
wants of the American people.
ave believe the national faith, IL
left In the keeping of the populace,
will be suliied by the sure repudia-
ton Ct the national debt; and that an
Imperial Government can alone Sc
cure and protect the rights of national
creditors.
1--WE believe that an Imperial Gov
ernment, in Its paternaI relation to
the people, will care equally for all
citizens, and, while guaranteeing Sc
curity to the rights of capital, will
iealousIy protect the interests of the
industrial classes. ......
ave believe, in short, that Democ'
racy means laWlessness, corruption,
insecurity to person and property,
robbery of the public creditors anu
civil war; that the Empire means
law, order, security, public faith and
peace.
"This creed the ImperiaIjst will ad-
vocate earnestly, tearIessly and with
out compromise, thereby expressing
the hoaest convictions, not only OF
those who contribute to its columns,
but of an intelligent and powerful
constituency. In the discussion of DO.
itical and social questions now agi'
tating the mind of the American peo'
pie, the Imperialist will unite the
high tone and thorough culture OF
the British weekly press, with the
lighter and more popular features OF
the best current literature of the day,
and its columns will be free from the
low and commonplace Vulgarisms
that have heretofore disgraced Amer
lean journalism"

How Ohio is to be Made Negro Vo.
ting State. --

The Washington correspondence Of
the Cincinnati Commercial, under date
of Friday, says: -.-. -.e
''Mr. Morton's amendment to the
bill to reconstruct Virginia, Missis'
sippiand Texas, requiring those States
to ratify the Fifteenth Constitutional
Amendment before they are admitted
to representation in Congress, was
passed by the Senate, to day, by 30 to
IS. :. = !.
''The effect of Mr.. Morton's propo-
sitiOn VIII be, that those States being
anxious for admission, will ratify the
Fifteenth Amendment at once, and
thus the concurrence OF the required
three fourths Of the whole number of
States will have been obtained 20 the
amendment, and it will thus become
part of the Constitution without the
ratification of the Legislatures of the
States OF Ohio and Indiana"
Here we have the whole fraud in q
nut shell. The Southern States are
to be deprived OF their rights under
the Constitution by the Radical ma
jorIty in Congress, unless they adopt
the negro suffrage amendment to the
Federal Constitution, and then they
are to be allowed a representation In
Congress, and this is done to force ne
gro suffrage on Ohio, Indiana and
other States, against the consent of
the people.

Return to Reason Attsr Forty Years of
Insanity,

About forty years ago a young lady,
eighteen years of age, full of life and
beauty, and resident of this county,
from some unknown, or, at least, un-
goYernable cause, became suddenly
insane For some time she remained
beneath the roof of her parents, and
received the united efforts and SYM
pathy of her relatives and friends
But all TO no avail. The mental fac
uities were too surely broken. A
short time after she became an inmate
of our County Poor House, at Dewitt
Vile, where she remained Uutil few
days since, a curiosity to strangers
and wholly lost to herself. Well, we
remember, three years since, while
paying visit to the country buildings
at that place, noting the very strange
appearance of "CraZy Ann" There
was something peculiar about her de-
rangemeut, so much so that we have
often called to mind incidents of her
conversation and popularity about
her manners. But a few days since
1'CraZy Ann" resumed her proper
cognomen, and is again sane. What

ence and now a stranger to herself
She resumes life where she left it when
young and beautiful and the compan-
ion of the gay and mirthful. Now
she is old, feeble and gray, in the en-
jOyment only of the fact that she is a.
gain rational and buslly engaged in
making her own acquaintance.

What the Beast pemands.


The New York Journal of CON-
merce thus epitomizes the provisions
OF General Buffers Southern disabiIi-
ty relief bill:
Every ex rebel who desires restor-
alton to political rights is required to
apply by petition to a court of the
United States IN the State or Terri
tory where he lived during the rebel
lion. Such tribunal would probably
do Justice by him more quickly than
congressional committee, and Ia that
respect, the bill is good enough. But
beyond that we encounter only the
most offensive and objectionable con-
ditions. The applicant is expected to
tell sin what manner he had given
aid, comfort or assistance to the re-
bellion, either voluntary or iuvolun-
tary," going into the most minute
and tireSome details. Having thus
made q perfectly clear breast, he must
say that he now believes and con.
fesses such acts were wrong, rebcilious
and wicked" and "that he admits
and believes said governments (the

and loyal citizen of the UnitedStates."

Quite a scene occurred at the White
House on the 18th. Il appears that
Senator Ross, OF Kansas, obtained an
interview with the President, and
protested against the nomination of
one Babcock for Surveyor General Of
that State, the appointment failing to
be acted on last week, and added that
Pomeroy (Senator) and Clark (mem-
ber) had been making pretty much
ali Of the Kansas appointments.
Grant replied that it was useless to
say more, as his mind was made up
on the SurVeyorship.
Ross continued protesting, when
Grant said: ''I tell you my mind is
made up, don't want to hear any
more"
Ross replied, ''Go to hell"
Then Grant moved toward him and
said: ''Get out of this house instant
ly, and never set your foot in it
again."
Ross, without word, at once left.

From an exhaustive review of the
Cuban revolution, an exchange has
compiledthe following facts: The Gu
ban revolution commenced October
10, 1868, by the pronunciamento of
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, with 127
followers. II is asserted that at the
present time the revolution has ex-
tended over circuit of 10000 square
miles, tWO-thirds of the area of Cuba.
Within these limits there are I47 cities
and towns, half of which, it is report
ted, are held by the insurgents. The
following estimates have been made
of the strength of the revolutionists
or patriotic party. Out Of the 100, 600
men able to bear arms on the Island
of Cuba, $4,000 are in the ranks of the
patriots: t30, 600 of them being sta
TONED in the Eastern, and Is, 900 in
the Central Department. The total
population of the district in rebellion
is 54S, 73S, of which there are IN the
Eastern Department 126, 1858 whites,
S6, ,374 negroes free before the revolu-
ton, and 81, ,778 slaves just emancipa-
ted by the patriot leaders. In the
central department the numbers are
1T2, ,56T whites, 42, ,444 negroes, FORM
erly free, and 69, 207 slaves newly
freed. The estimated wealth Of the
real estate held IN the territory by the
patriots was, in 1862, $55O, 900, GEO, and
its industry and commerce were rec'

Conviction Of James Brown.


Most of our readers are familiar
with the alleged completely. of James
Brown with the robbery of Ihs Co
shocton county treasury, which occur
red in January, 1858; that the parties
f. he robbery were Ketchum, the
county treasurer; and Jas. Brown, a
banker. After the money, amount
ing to S22, 900, had been taken, Ket-
chum was left in the Office bound and
gagged. At the proper time he rails
ed the alarm, and was found by the
Sheriff and others. The County has
spent over 800, 600 In attempting to
ferret out the affair but was un-
successful, until subsequent quarrel
between Ketchum and Brown, when
KetchuIn "blowed." Brown WIS
tried in Newark, Llckiug county, ae
bout a year ago, the jury disagreeing-
AT his trial, closing on the lst inst.s
ne was found guilty. He was sem
ter ced by the Court to be imprisoned
in the penitentiary ten years, and TO
