GOULD AND LAYHIAN.

A few days since we received let
Ter from Mr. Amos Layman, late Clerk
of the House of Representatives of
this State, in relation TO an editorial
which appeared in the HERALD OF the
21st of last month, in which reference
was made to certain charges preferred
against Mr.. Layman as Reporter of
Legislative proceedings for the Ohio
statesman, the leading Democratic
organ of this State In this editorial
we reproduced the following:
''That Mr.. Amos Lyman, without
authority, or knowledge. Of any Off
Ger or clerk of the House, surrepti-

the Journal and that said committee
held a session to give Mr.. Layman a
chance to be heard, at his request, but
he failed to appear; aud therefore re
port tie following resolution:

Holden CoD.icted.

Holden, the Radical Governor of
North Carolina, and mischieyous tool
of the despots who rule the country,
has reached the end of his tether.-
The Senate of that State sitting as a
high court of impeachment have con-
victed him on six of the charges pre-
ferred against him by the House of
Representatives, and an order passed,
by avote of 36 to 13, removing him
from office and disqualifying him
from holding any Office of honor or
profit in the State hereafter. Thus
has justice finally overtaken this man
who attempted to plunge his State in
to civil war, byinviting band of out
laws from a neighboring State to
overawe and harrass them, commits
sioning Kirk, their leader, and send
ing him forth to rob and murder the
law abiding citizens, under the prom
ised protection of the State authori-
ties, and to facilitate the outrage pro-
claimed martial law, suspended the
writ of hdbeGs corpus, and closed the
courts against those who sought pro-
lection from their oppressors and re-
dress for their wrongs through the
peaceful and constitutional channels.
He is fit representative of the ideas
and principles of the party to which
he belongs, and has received the pun
ishment justly due to his high crimes
and misdemeanors.

onnosed to Free speech.

The st. Paul Despatch, Radical)
says: The malignant tyranny OF
the present administration is illustra-
ted by the following statement tele-
graphed from Now Y ork a day ortwo
ago. Mail anvices received from the
West Indies, by the Henry Chauncey,
state that the editor of the IIdende, OF
st. Thomas, had been imprisoned at
the instance of the American counsul,
who had received instructions to that
effect from Secretary Fish, for pub
fishing the revolutionary San Domin-
go proclamation, printed some time
since in New York, which it will be
remembered, called upon all Domini-
cans to resist the unconstitutional do
ings of Baez, who was bartering away
the country to foreign power. The
arrest was considered such an outrage
in st. Thomas that all the leading cit
liens united in an address of sympa-
thy to the unfortunate editor"
We strongly suspect that those pa
pers that are speaking thus freely and
truthfully of the Great Ulysses, will,
in case he is re-nominated fall into
line and give him an earnest support.

New Party Movement.

A number of the prominent Repub-
licans of Hamilton county who are
thoroughly disgusted with the pres
ent position of their party, under the
lead of Grant, Butler, Cameron s. Co.,
have set on foot a movement for the
organization OF new national party,
and for that purpose q meeting was
held III Cincinnati on the afternoon
of the 21st inst, at which Judge STAN
ley Matthews was elected president,
and Judge Hoadley chairman of the
executive committee. A constitution
was adopted and declaration of prin-
ciples containing the following planks !:
l. Against the continuance of the
policy of Acknowledgement, and in fa-
yor of universal amnesty.
2. Against the system of protective
duties, and IN favor of strictly reve-
hue tariff.
%. Against the employment of gov
crement patronage, and for thorough
civil service reform. And
4. Against an irredeemable curren-
cy and in favor of gradual but GER
tain return TO specie basis.
tits said that similar organizations
are being effected in New York and
other large cities, and the move is a
formidable one which will create
great sensation in political circles. It
il understood that the Chicago Tri-.
Jaae, the Cincinnati Commercial and
the st. Louis Democrat will support
the new movement. Judge Matthews
said it was evident the Republican
party had seen its best days, and could
no longer control the country.

Message From Grant.

On Thursday last, the President sent
the following message to Congress:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
A condition of affairs now exists in
some States of the Union, rendering
life and property insecure, and the
CARRYING of mails and collection of
revenue dangerous. Proof that such
a state of affairs exists iu some locali-
ties is now before the Senate. That
power to correct these evils is beyond
the control of the State authorities /
do not doubt, but that the power of
the Executive of the United States,
acting within the limits of the existing
laws, is sufficient, is not clear. There
fore,I / urgently recommend such leg
islation as in the judgment of Con-
gress shall effectually secure life, lib
erty and property in all parts of the
United States. 1t may be expedient
to provide that such law as shall be
passed in pursuance of this recon-
lnendation shall expire at the next
session of Congress. There is no oth-
or object that l would recommend for
legislation during the present session.

summers Indictment of Grant.

On Friday last Senator Sumner
sent to the Senate resolutions arraign-
ing the President for his course in the
San Domingo matter, charging him
with exceeding his powers in sending
vessels of war to protect BaeZ's au-
thority during the pendency of the
negotiations for annexation. The fol-
lowing is brief synopsis of the res
olutions:
After expressing the caution that
should be used to avoid the suspicion
of coercion in negotiations for the an
neXation of territory, Mr.. Sumner
resolves,
L. That the naval forces of the
United States should be Withdrawn
from the coasts of San Domingo pend
ing the present negotiations.
=. That the menace to Hayti i'm
piled in the presence of our war YES
sells near her coasts, is breach of in
ternational law, and should be disa-
vowed by our Government.
3. That as certain OF our war yes
sells have entered Haytian ports, and,
under threats of instant war, restrain
ed that Republic of its sovereignty
ard independence, such acts shoulG
be disavowed.
4. That the President, without Con-
gress, cannot declare war; and that
the employment OF the navy without
act OF Congress, in the manner above
recited, is violation of the Constitu-
ton and usurpation of unlawful pow
ers.
5. That no right of naval interfer-
ence is gained by the President under
the unratified treaty.
6. That as the present proceedings
toward annexation have been conduct
ed under the constant shadow Of su-
perior force and the beligerent inter
vention of our navy, they must be en-
tirely abandoned.
Z. That instead of seeking the ac-
QUESTION of San Domingo, our gov
ernment should have offered its friend
ly Offices to promote internal concord
and amity with Hayti.
s. That as Baez is engaged in selling
his country, the employment of our
navy to maintain him in his usurped
power is morally wrong, and the tran
saction founded upon it is, null and
void.
Senator Sumner announced his in
tention to speak on these resolutions
on Monday.

PETTY SPITE.-The Washington
Patriot says: 1t will be remembered
that Senator Schurz took az active
part in the debate the other day on
the removal of Mr.. Sumner, when he
took occasion to criticise the Admin
istration upon its policy of trying to
force the annexation scheme against
the will of the people," Immediately
following this act an order was sent
to Chicago removing Collector Jussen
from Office. Mr.. Jussen is relative
of Senator Schurz. We have heard of
no charges made against Mr.. Jussen.
He is imposed to believe, as Senator
Schurz does, that the Annexation of
San Domingo would be a wrong to
the people of the United States. Mr..
Ingersoll, appraiser of merchandise at
Chicago, was also removed, and a
member of the notorious POLITICAL ring
was appointed in his place. Mr.. In
gersoll was supposed to be friendly to
Senator Trumbull, and Senator Trum-
bull opposed the removal of Senator
Sumner.

This has always seemed to US nista-

force upon the people this foul and
odious San Domingo job, looks as
though Frank Blair might not be so
far wrong in this respect as 1aost peo-
pie have thought him.

REcoNsTRUcTED.-N Hampshire
is the most successfully and thorough
ly reconstructed of the Radical States.
While Radicals i'll Congress are fishing
for negro votes the white men of the
North turn upon and rend the party.
This is revival of the &c irrepressible
conflict" that Seward told about many
years ago in speech at Rochester,
Indeed the whole history of Radical
ism is an s.irrepressible conflict" with
laws, constitutions, social order, and
good government.-EC.

Wendell Phillips, in the National
Standard, argues that there are three
insurmountable objections to annex
ing San Domingo, viz:
FirSt-Why seek an outpost which,
in case of war, is only a weakness ?
Honor and interest would concentrate
all our navy there to protect our flag
against foreign attack, and it would be
the first point attacked. The expense
and danger alone outweigh all the
fancied advantage of Samana Bay to
US in peace.
Second = The shrewdest men in
Washington are puzzled now to know
how to reach the difficulties in the
Gulf States-the angry and rebel ele-
ment which makes tool of the tancied
conflict of races. If we cannot gov
ern this belt of our own continent,
why double our troubles by annexing
more of the same angry elements, with
a sea between us and them?
Ihntl1y-When we annex the east
ern half of San Domingo we annex a
war with Hayti. What war with
Hayti means, the First Napoleon can
tell. He sent 10000 men; only 1000
ever saw France again. The same
hate, the same disgust await us. We
could buy two Cubas with the cost of
one year of such warfare.

ApEspArcu saws .

A DESPATCH says: All is quiet in
Mississippi. The reported Ku Klux
outrages in the northeastern part of
the State are greatly exaggerated. 1t
is rumored that Higgins, a school
teacher, was whipped, though not Sc
verely, near Aberdeen, by unknown
parties for social equality with ne
groes. Lacy, the Mayor, did not flee
from that city from the Ku Klux, but
from the grand jury indictments for
malfeasance.
Thai makes quite q bit of difference.

IT is pleasant to witness with what
good grace most of the Radicals re-
ceive the news of the crushing defeat
of their party in New Hampshire.
They really seem to like it, and many
of them are SO completely disgusted
with the management of affairs that
they openly declare that it is time for
a change.

Allow us to cite you to the Dat Crop of Nor

which averaged $19. 80 per acre. Thus you will
readily see that the best crop the farmers Of this
vicinity can raise is Flax, which will pay 90 per
acre more than Corn, and nearly $17 more than
Oats. Thus we might compare the Flax Crop Of
Ohio any season with the Corn, Oats, Rye, Buck

fact the same results may be shown throughout
the Northwest"

why every Farmer should SOW field in Flax
