The Duty of the South,

We cannot persuade ourselves that
a maiority-we mean an available ma
jority-of the Republicans in Con-
gress will stultify themselves by &C
cediug to the Presidents violent
schemes, and in order to weather the
apparent danger befort them-the
shoal upon which the party will peace
fully and decorously disintegrate, run
upon the jagged, sunken rocks CT a
new civil conflict, in which, unlike
the last, they make a wrong start
But, after all that we have seen, it is
best to err on the side of skepticism,
and, so far as counsel and warning
may be rendered necessary, to assume
that Congress will do wrong; and,
further, that, backed by what seems
like legislative sanction, the President
Will take the aggressive and march his
armies into the South, crossing, with
all the paoply of war, Virginia, which
he admits to be peaceful, and North
Carolina, which don't ask him to
come, and reach the objective point
wherever the captain, terrified Mr..
Scott, happens to be. Whether ru-
ined Charleston is to be blockaded,
and columns are to penetrate by Will
mington and the upper country; in
short, what the plan of the campaign
is to be, we, civilians, do not presume
to conjecture. General Butler is 9th
orwise engaged, and the absolute pov-
erty of the Southern country presents
nc temptations for him TO quit Il civil

BACKS DOWN.

When the result in New Hampshire
was known, and it was apparent that
Connecticut would follow in the same
train, President Grant wrote and dis
patched a craven apology to the elect
ors of Connecticut, completely backing
down from his San Domingo job, and
begged them for the love of the great
Republican party to stand by him.
Like the boy who whistled in school,
he claimed it was not his design to
steal San Domingo, it was Baez who
was doing that job! If Connecticut
would only forgive him this cnce, lie
would never have a policy again
The result is, that English is re-elect-
cd Governor. by about one hundred
majority, and the Congressional dele
CATION stands Us before, So that the
State rebukes his San Domingo theft.
and wants no more of him. Seeing
this, the whole job has been postponed
until next winter. In the meantime,
Grant will exert himself to buy up
enough ~recreants to secure the annex
alton. of hat Island of snakes, frogs
and negroes to the United States.

The Wheat Crop to the West.
from the 81. Louis Republican,

From the 81. LOUIS hepnoticdn.J
From all parts of this State we hear
most favorable reports of the young
wheat. The SHOWS last winter that
protected the ground from sever freez-
ing, preserved the wheat, and there
has been no hard weather, since the
disappearance of the snow to %injure it.
The Huntsville Herald says: 1--WE
never saw a finer prospect for a big
wheat crop than there will be the COM
ing season. The breadth sown in this
county is hardly so great as last year,
but it will more than average with the
season since the war;" The ST. Charles
News says: "The wheat crop in this
county promises to be one of the most
abundant that has ever been produced.
Certain portions Of St. Charles coun-
ty never failed to produce fine wheat
crops, but this year. the yield will, ev.,
identity, be abundant all over the
county," The st. Joseph Gazette
says: "From all parts of Northwest
Missouri we hear the most encoura-
ging reports in reference to the grow
ing wheat. 1t has suffered but little
from the winter, stands thick on the
graund, and, with anything like an
ordinarily fair spring. will yield an
abundant crop" The Montgomery
Standard is informed by one of the
oldest and best farmers of that coun-
try that she has never seen such pros
pect for an abundant crop of wheat
since he has been a resident of the
county. 1t is quite forward, and
stands thick on the>grodnd:" =

LOVELY.

While President Grant and his alb
clifton friends are cursing, dragoon-
ing and robbing the South, because
that people dared resist the abolition
crusade of robbery, murder and incen-
diarism, he and Butler and other Rad
icals of equal reputation, are doing
their best to keep the usurper and
rebel Baez IN authority at San Do
mingo, until the time arrives for this
Government to steal halt the Island
This is a pretty position for a party
that never ceases to denounce rebels
at home. 1t is as clear as the noon
day sun, that Baez is the meanest
kind ola usurper, and has no right
to rule San Domingo. Why -does
Grant love him? Simply because he
is a usurper and fragrant niger
Why does he hate the Southern peo-
pie and desire to rob them? Because
they are white, and despise him.
We suggest that Grant be chosen
Autocrati in the place of Baez, and
that he and the Dents locate amid the
frogs, snakes, lizards and negroes of
the fertile Republic of San Domingo.

Destructive Fire.
CINCINNATI, April 7, 1871,

+
The Western Female College at
Oxford, Ohio, took fire this morning
in the bakery about one o'clock, and
/. with the exception of the walls, which
yet staud, was completely destroyed.
All the young ladies are accounted
for but one girl, partially deaf, who is
missing. 1t is hoped she may yet be
found safe, though up TO last accounts
there were no ,tidings from her. -Four
or five students who escaped from the
second and third story windows were
somewhat injured, none seriously, save
one, who, it is feared, is dangerously
hurt. Some had presence of mind to
tie sheets together and let themselves
down from the windows. Others
jumped from the second story. Some
property in the lower part of the bull
ding was saved. Many of the young
ladies lost all of their personal effects
in their rooms. There was about six
ty thousand dollars insurance ON the
building, which will not cover the loss.

tions in the AVest.a-s LIE.5e eH Il

Having satiated his bloodthirsty de-
sire, Brentlinger placed his children

scene Foaror five days afterwards

and the body was exhumed, post NOR

which was affected shortly afterward.
THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION.
Brentlinger was tried in December
and convicted of murder in the first
degree, He was reprieved until this
date, when, according to the sentence,
he was executed.
At four o'clock this morning he was
awakened by the sheriff, who babe him
arise and prepare for his fate. He
responded that he<weulduina feM4me--

went to. asleep. He was called again
by the sheriff at five O'Clock, and he
arose and wasatalkativesan and agreeable
to those around him. At 9:52, &C
companied by sheriff Goliath, Keys,
Bartholomew and Walkup, he left his
cell with a firm step, marched through
the corridor, assembled the scaffold and
took a seat set apart for him, the three
former gentlemen standing. Religious
services were again offered by Rev.
Bartholomew, when he took leave of
Brentlinger and descended the steps.
The sheriff then said to him :stBrent-
linger, have you anything to- say?-
His reply, distinctly uttered, was: "I
havn't anything to say" and the moose
was then adjusted, the black cap was
drawn down over his face by the sher-
if, when at the request of Brentlinger
thelhymn, ssAff that L was, my sin,
my guilt, my death, was all my own,'
was sung. AT the conclusion of the
hymn the sheriff took a position in
front of the scaffold, on the ground
floor, with his right hand took hold
of the rope connected with the lever
and with his left hand drew forth his
watch, saying: "Gentlemen, It is now
twenty minutes after ten o'clock. At
the same instant the lever. was pulled
and Brentlinger was launched into

The vaEess townships in this IL

themselves nobly. The usual major
tiles were secured by the Democracy.
In Vermillion township, Mr.. Fox.

small majority, for Justice of the Peace,
owing to the unpleasantness of the
day. Mr.. Fox, should have been re
elected, and would have been, if Il lit
tic moro exertion had been made by
his friends. In Montgomery, the dis
agreeable weather prevented over two
hundred persons from voting, and
the Republicans who are largely in
the majority in Ashland, carried the
township. Ashland county is good

hundred this fall, if the proper organ

MURDER.


The murder was committed ON the
oath of October last, about nine miles
from Lima, in Shawnee township, at
Brentlinger's residence-a log cabin in
the woods, nearly a mile from any
other house, and which, for hendish
atrocity, and cold blooded butchery,

It appears that he and his wife had
not been living very ~peaceably togcth-

together again some tune since, but
lived no better than before. Brent
linger was Jealous of some OF his
neighbors who visited at his house,
thinking they were criminally intimate
with his wife. On Monday afternoon
about 2 o'clock on the 18th of Octo-
