During several months, II. V Boyn-
ton, Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, was engaged in abus-
ing Gen Howard and Senator Harlan
He tried hard to get some one to prefer
charges against both of them, lie new
or succeeded in getting any Senator
to pay any attention to him Or bis
charges, so far as Senator Harlan was
concerned but he finally got Fernando
Wood, of New York, to prefer charg IS
against Gen. Howard, and an investi-
cation was ordered. During the invcs-
tigation III. " B." telcgraphed to the
Gazette the wonderful things which were
being proven against Gen. Howard.
But now comes the Washington
correspondent Of the Toledo Blade and
says:
"The Howard investigation, about
which the papers have been very silent
of late, has been slow in its operations,
but has been brought to close, so far
as testimony is concerned, and the Com
mittee are now waiting foe Mr.. Wood
to make a closing speech, which is to
enable him to retreat from very shame
ful position. 1t is understood, on al
hands that the attempt to implicate
General Howard in any peeulation OIL
dishonesty, has been nat failure. Th'
investigation has been in progress ove'
two months, aud has cost the govern
ment worry large sum, which Fernan'
do ought to be called on to foot"

The editor of the Herald waited until
somebody told him what to say in an
swer to our proposition to unite aud try
and save our people from the curse of
intemperance, He found something in
the Chillicothe Advertiser which suited
him. And then he goes on to say:
eff man wants drink of ale, beer,
gin, or oranything else, and cannot afford,
like Mr. Mackley, to get it By the keg,
why, we do not propose to step in and
say mo, sir, lce know what is best Tor
you; and you must not touch this"
Oh no! You did not send us word
by leading Democrat Ofthis town, "to
step in" and watch friend and near
relative of yours, and use our influence
to keep him from strong drink, as you
knew that if he once tasted it he would
become beastly drunk. Oh no! That
was your OK that was being gored.
Then yoa did pretend to know what was
best for a member of your otCn family.
We have always tried to save your
friends from this curse. We have
spared your bosom friend, ysur drunk
en- associate, your Democratic Mayor,
whom you supported, not only for May
or, but for Probate Judge last fall. We
asked you then if one of your candi-
dates was not drunkard, and you de-
MED it, when you knew it was so. And
yet you are not liar. Oh no.
You associate with this man day and
night, and you know his condition.
You will not raise finger to save him,
and several others who are going the
same road. We would save them, and
there IS only one way to do it. That is
to take the temptation away from them.
We have no doubt that Mayor Connolly
would rejoice to have it rendered i'm
practicable for him to get strong drink.
His family would rejoice in his saliva.

yourself.

"The only explanation we can offer
for Mackley, is the fact that Mr.. Clark
gained number of cases in which Mack
ley opposed him; but that is little rea-
son for bearing malice-yet is full
enough for little mind. ."-HeraM.
You state that as a fact, and we say it
is lie, and we demand that you name
those cases. You cannot do it. ..l
In the above, from the Herald, you
can sec the workings OF little mind"
The editor of the Herald had a case at
the last term ofcourt held here, the case
of Foley VS.. Foley. He had not sense
enough to file an answer, but put it in
sworn to, under the Code. After his

The following, which We find in the
N. Y. Tribune, expresses our sentiments
exactly:
10 Ge Editor Of The Tribune,
Sin, For the past eight or nine years
| have been a constant reader of The
Tribune, and am surprised that you
so warmly advocate the confirmation oI
A. Il. Ackerman as Attorney. General
of the United States. One who admits
that he joined the Confederate Army Of
his own accord, and fought for eighteen
months with all the ability he had TO
subvert the Government, is not the man
for that position, Is it not an insult to
my one arm, is it not an outrage upon
thousands Of widows, to see walking
the streets, bearing the insignia of Of
fee, man who did all he could to make
them widows and their children father
less1 And does it help his case that,
when the last hope of the South and ol
the success of the Rebellion was gone,
he turned traitor to his friends South,
as he had before done to his country
This may be satisfactory to the Repub
lican party, but it doesn suit the poor
soldier or the widow and orphan.

Some soldiers who fought bravely for
the Union, are now acting politically
with the Democratic party, To SUCH
the following faltering notice, from the
New York Day Book, must be extreme
ly gratifying:
DEAD PATRIOTS AND LIVING TRAITORS
A secret and traitorous association,
styling itself "The Grand Army of the
Republic" got up an extensive "Flow-
er Show" the other day, over the graves
of soldiers who fell in the late horrible
sectional war, and it is said that a great
effort will be made to induce Congress
to declare an annual holiday in order to
decorate these graves. Well, SO far as
the dead men are concerned, we are
willing to regard them as patriots, how
ever mistaken they may have been, but
every man that served in that war from
the North, that now gives ''aid and COM
fort" to the enemies of the Republic Of
Washington, is of course and of neces-
ity a traitor-a black and damned trait
or to American liberty. The men who
fought with Lee may have been mistak.

shining host ever dreamed of warning

erty which these traitorous villains Of

by having the semblance of large heads
or is it the sham of foolish fashion ?
We may assure the dear creatures their
admirers think no more ofthem because
of the stuffed bag of dead hair, flax, OF
hemp hung on their heads. Indeed,
sensible lovers will think something
less OF them for the foolishness.
