FRENCH SYMPATHY.-The Gin
cinnati Gazette has the following
in regard to the German celebra-
ton in that city on Saturday
night:
1t was somewhat amusing, and
at the same time instructive, to
notice, on Saturday, when the
downfall of the Emperor of France
was announced, the long faces
worn by those who smypathized
with the rebels in our late war.
The lines, on Saturday, were al
most as distinctly drawn as from
1861 to 1865, and King William 8
dispatch to the Queen announcing
the surrender of Mcmahon army,
and of Napoleon, without an army,
was as sickening to our ex rebel
sympathizers as was the offici al
report of the surrender of Lee and
the rebel army to Gen. Grant
This, of course, is easily explained
Napoleon was the enemy of this
country during the rebellion. He
desired the success of the latter.
The invasion of Mexico was for
the purpose of aiding the rebels,
if an opportunity should offer, and
of bouncing upon portion of oni
territory in the event of rebel sue
cess.

WAR BETWEEN TIE STATES,
Its Causes, Character. Conduct and
Results.
BY HON. A. H. STEPHENS.

Three years ago. the announce
ment BY the National Publishing
Co, OF Cincinnati, Ohio, of the
speedy publication of this great
work, created a profound sensaz
ton throughout the country The
press OF both sections hailed the
appearance of the book with de
light, for it was admitted by all
that the task of transmitting to
posterity the Southern version of
the history OF our great civil war
could not have been contided to
an ADLER pen than that of Mr. STE
HENS, the greatest living states
man of the South The colleague
and friend of Clay, Calhoun and
Webster, he is ~ connecting link
between the present and the glori-
Gus past, and as Vice-fresident of
the late Southern Confederacy, he
is peculiarly fitted for the task, by
his opportunities of knowing the
secret details of the history of the
War. Above all, his high charac-
ter rs a man, which has always
cal enemies, enables Us to rely up
on bis statement with an absolute
certainty. In the first volume of
his work, Mr.. STEPHENS confined
himself exclusively to the causes of
the War, reserving the narrative
of the actual struggle for the Sec
ond and concluding volume The
success of the former volume was
extraordinary, reaching q sale of
10000 copies.
II then that portion of the work
which of necessity was the dryest
If any part of this magnificent
production can be called dry
has met with such wonderful and
rapid sale, what are we not war
ranted in predicting for the sec
ond, in which the thrilling story Of
the most terrible and destructive
war of modern tines, is told with
ali the fascination of romance and
all the sublimity of truth Mr.
STEPHENS Sights no feature of the
War, and his work reveals a par
ticulariy interesting and fascina-
ting portion of its history, which
has never been public until now.
He goes to the bottom Of the Sc
cession movement, and gives the
confidential history of the Conven-
ton which formed the Coniedera-
cy. The vexed question of the
nom eXchange of prisoners Of war
has much new light shed upon it,
and this alone olght to commend
the book to every one who saw
the inside of a Northern or South
ern prison
What viii strike the practiced
reader most fovorably, however,
is the fact that Mr.. Stephens mar
rative is tree from bitterness and
sectional feeling. He writes with
that calm dignity which is always
the historian most effective weap-
on, weighing facts according to
their merits, and arriving at con
illusions with elearness of judg-
ment which is, to say the least,
remarkable in one who was him
self so important an actor in the
events narrated. 1t is this fact
which will make his book so wei
come to those who are seeking
substantial inform alton upon the
subjects treated Of, and who pre-
fer clear and raight-forward
statements of aohat ,oas done, to the
fine theories as to what might hare
been accomplished. Having been

FInE.-At half past eleven O'Clock
last night, fire broke out in the En-
CINE room Of Messrs. Elliott & Hugo's
extensive Furniture establishment on the
s. w corner of Main and Front streets.
The building was owned by Mr.. Mason
(who IS row on q visit East, )-the South
wing Of which was occupied by himself
and family. The entire building is
total wrecA-most of MIR. Ms houses
hold goods were saved. Nessrs. Elliott
Hugos Furniture was considerably
damaged by rough handling, water, and
fre-most Of his recent manufacture of
furniture, was up in the third story, or
finishing room-that was entirely con-
sumed. They have an insurance of
900 on their Goods. Mr.. Mason. we
learn, has not any insurance on his buil>
ding. The loss to Mr.. NJ, will not
be short of 5000 or Sc, 600, E. &
HIS loss is probably 5000 over the
insurance. Rufus King, one of the en-
ployes, had about S75 worth OF tools
burnt up, and Jas. Williams, lost over
500 in tools. Charles Ayler, Peter
Cuhlman and Mr. Rows loss in toos
is rot less than $3.50; John Mason
saved the most of his, and Henry Tenn
my all of his.
Had Engine No. 2, few more

saving it would have done better
execution-as it was, three sec
tons were all they could command,
and two Of them burst. This En-
CINE got on first water. The ones

fortunately was caught in the descent under

Democratic for M
Movement.

We have heretofore called the
attention of our readers to the cry
OF the great reformers who are now,
fea-like, infesting the Democrat
ic sheep-skin, and although we
then thought, as we do now, that
their efforts will prove abortive,
so far as the Republican Ticket in
Wayne County is concerned, yet
its bad effect nay reach the State
and Congressional Tickets. To
avoid the latter, We again call at
tention TO the Democratic trick of
reform, and urge every Republic
can, who has the best interests of
Ills country and party at heart, to
frown upon every effort made to
divide the Republican forces on
the weak, puerile pretense Of eff
fe.1ing a reformation, in either
taxes or salaries, by the Dem
ocratic party. We understand a
ticket has been formed with DEM
ocratic candidate for representa-
tive, and another for County Com
missioner--a Republican indepen
dent candidate for Sheriff, and an
other for Clerk, ,shen the balance
of the regular Republican nomi-
%
which Republicans are invited by
the Democrats of Old Wayne
where they are hopelessly in the
minority, and where a Democrat,
if party lines are drawn, will stand
about as much chance to reach
Heaven by being translated, as he
will to obtain an Office at the hands
of the people.
We do not blame the Democracy
for trying to ''divide and conquer"
If the Repu blicans were in the
minority as are the Democrats in
the County, this would he the
course we'd advocate. But we do
blame our Republican friends for
thus being gulled by their political
opponents. Can't they see that
the only object the Democracy are
aiming at, is the gain they hope to
make in the Legislature, and to
do this they'd swallow everything
that would turn their stomachs in
side out on any other occasion p
Another thing the Democracy
hope to gain by this hpocritical
reform movement, is to help de-
feat the State Ticket, by causing a
luke-warmness among the Repub-
Housekeeping that not a few Of
them can thus be kept away from
the polls, by constant din OF
"high-taxes!" = ''high salaries!'
and other clap-trap, false cries.
Another leading idea with the De-
mocracy is, that their movement
may inure to the advantage, in the
Fourth Congressional District, o.
David Gooding--thinking that i
but few Republicans can be in
duced to swallow the bare hooh
thrown to them--the magnanimous
division of the lions share of Off
ces to Republicans, they will have
no scruples to go the whole figure
and help defeat Judge Wilson, a.
well as the State Ticket.
We do not believe that this
reformation will avail, only to pu

Fayette County is Republican,
Franklin, Democrat. They lie side
by side, are both old, well popula-
ted, farming counties. Their
wealth and population are nearly
equal. Fayette has SS,779,745,
and Franklin has IS, 224 40; a
difference of but $500, 900. Here
we should expect to find, with
equal honesty in county manage
ment, an equal county expendi-
ture. How is it? Republican Fay
cite pays for her local government
Sl3 247 so Democratic Frank
lin pays 500, 453 73. Nearly five
times as much. The State tax,

parison, that the burden of taxa
ton in Democratic Franklin is by
far the most oneroIs the people

as in Franklin county, vote for

In ancient Athens two men once
contested for the suffrages of the
people. One was profusein prom
ises of what he would do, and the
other came forward and said.
"W hat be promises I have done"
This reply can well be applied to
the Democratic and Republican
parties. All that the Democrats
promise we have done, or are do,
ing. l give now one or two facts:
In tie last seventeen months of
Andrew Johnson's Presidency, the
national debt was increased thirty
millions; in the first seventeen
months of General Grants admin
istration the debt has been de
creased one hundred and seventy
millions, and Congress at it's last
session reduced the taxes more
than eighty-three millions.
The platform adopted by the
Convention begins by describing
the glorious work of the Rcpubli-
can party in the past; then con
graduates Germany on her glori-
Gus victories; next congiatulates
the people of France on account of
the new Republic; syphathises with
Cuba; arraigns the Dem ocratic
party Of the State and Nation;
pleads for the Common School
system as against sectarian plum
der of the school money for sec
tartan purposes; insists on the
right of the people Of towns to
prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
liquor by popular vote; and calls
upon all good citizens to aid in
protec ing the ballot box against
frauds. Hc
The Convention then proceeded
to nominate candidate for Gov.
enor.
On the 1st ballot, Horace Gree
ley re ceived 143 votes, and on the
I'd, 139.
On the third ballot General
Woodford was named by two hun
dred and fifty eight delegates, and
his nomination was declared unan-
imous.
Dewitt c. Littlejohn was then
nominated for Lieutenant Cover
nor, and Abel w. Palmer for
Controller.

LOCAL VARIETIES.

The weather yesterday-as bright as an
infants dream OF sunshine and ten or TWEEN
ty degrees colder than personal comfort re-
qUired.
Nowadays We hear much of ''Shoo Fly"
The old inquiry, How doth the little busy
bee, 80 is now scarcely ever made.
The Memphis AUaJGncle says that the
Swedish, Danish and German laborers
pouring into that section daily, take very
kindly to farm work, and promise TO give
entire satisfaction to their employers.
Our Radical fellow-citizens are talking of
establishing newspaper here 'for the dis
semination of political truth and the pro-
mitigation Of sound views and virtuoUs
principles" This object sounds well in
words, but Is any mortal man capable Of
performing the work promised and yet con-
sistently preserving his membership in the
Radical church Whether the accomplish
ment of such a task is within the pale Of
political possibility remains to be seen.
Within the past few days number of per-
sons indicted in the Criminal Court for gam
ing have settled matters by availing them
selves ofthe insolvents oath. For good and
satisfactory reasons We have RETAINED from
giving any publicity to their names.
A great many country merchants were in
the city yesterday, making purchases for
their spring trade.
In the early part of yesterday, good peo-
pie were shoEeling the snow from their
sidewalks, and wicked men standing in
slippery places.
Tom Barnes yesterday had the misfor-
tune to meet with the clear loss Of two dol
lars Thinking he owed something for
corporation taxes, he called at the Office Of
Admiral Nelson for the purpose of settling.
The Admiral made diligent search, but
could not find I. b. s name on his books
But both knew he owed, or ought to owe
the corporation two dollars. He paid it,
took a receipt, and retired, feeling that he
had unnecessarily paid debt not charged
against him.
The appointment Of a Commissioner of
Registration for this county in place of E.
d. Muiloy, Esq, resigned, has notyet been
made. We hear the names of several gen
tlemen quite frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the position.
Gen. Thos T. Smiley has returned from
Cincinnati, and his friends are gratifed to
observe that he looks better, if not younger,
since seeing something Of the world.
But two arrests had been made in the
city, up to late hour last night, and
neither of these on account Of any hang
ing crime.
Serious apprehensions are felt in behalf
of the coming fruit crop. The unusual
warmth Of the winter has already brought
out the premonitory buds of spring, which
an early frost would surely destroy. sold
stacers" will remember that the deepest
fall Of ''beautiful snow" in this latitude
was in Merch. 1913.
