The daughters efa southern planter
are now slaves in Brazil. The planter
|emigrated thither at the close of the war
and WIS unsuccessful. The Brazilian
laws are such that when q citizen be-
comes in debt, if he has no property,
his children are soldas slaves, the prices
they bring going to the payment of the
obligation. Our FRIEND, says the Nash
vile Republican BANNER, when he
reached Brazil, unwisely became nat
Iuralized and . South American, citizen,
|and subject to the laws, thus by his
Eown violation, . expatriating himself
from his native country and its prOtec-
ton. He became involved in debt to
some Brazilians. His children We're
sold as slaves. Thus, his two daugh-
tars, now grown Tennessee youngla
dies, are slaves, doing menial work for
unlettered tnasters and tmistresses in
Brazil, their price paying devoted
but unfortunate fathers debt! The
amount ofthe debt, rive understand, is
81 200 in gold, and steps have been
taken to have the amount placed in
the hands of the father. '7si ''''' =

thority of Chas. Fl. Mitchener, fbr the
past two years Eszsident of Washington
city, th6ugh a political opponent Of Mr.,
Bingham, vet warm personal friend,
We make this denial of the charge.
Mf. Kitchener was formerly citizen
|ef Tuscsrawas county, and Wa for
many years editor of the Democrat,
published at New Philadelphia, is the
father of the present editor of the JEFF
fersonian, and few years since was the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
this district against Mr.. Bingham.
"Mr. Kitchener called on US Monday
last, and requested us to eny these,
charges, stating that they are wholly
false, and that his personal relations
with Mr.. Bingham are such - to ena-
BILE him to know that there is no truth
in them. Mr.. Kitchener felt it to be
his duty to his friend 10 authorize the
denial of these false and malignant
charges, although Mr.. Bingham and
himself are political enemies. .o..e
Mr.. Kitchener said he would also
request his son, editor of the Jeffer-
sonian, to state that such reports are
untrue and do Mr.. Bingham great in
Justice. The Jeffersonian last week
contained very bitter article against
Mr.. Bingham, in which the charge of
drunkenness was made in strong terms,
and which we now hope to see denied
in the next issue, as the editor of course
can not doubt the truth of the asser-
ti0n OF his father, and not doubling it,
will certainly have the fairness and
candor to give Mr.. Bingham the benefit
of such high and valuable evidence in
his favor. Let justice be done Mr..
Bingham by having the benefit OF the
denial"

the Guernsey JefersoniOa, the. Demo-
cratic organ of that county, whose edi-
tor is the son of this same Mr.. Mitch

The Helena Gazette tells story of a
young man from from that city who
spent a few months in st. Louis last
winter. 1t says that one cold day he
walked into the Southern Hotel, and
looking In vain for stove, asked the
clerk II there was no place where he
could warm himself. The clerk, smil-
ing urbanely, escorted the Colonel to a
register and told him to stand on the
CRATE and he would soon get warm
The Colonel wasmuch pleased. Later,in,
the day while peramhulatipg about the
city, becoming rather chilly, he espied
a coal CRATE in the sidewalk. Here, he
thought, was another heater, and he
would improve the opportunity by
warming his feet. A few minutes Ia.
ter q passer-hy heard him calculate;
sThese things may do very well for a
hotel, but they amt worth a darn to
warm the city" ~. - |

How Tom Marshall pleased Every
81 'dod -aal body. q2a1ia '',.i


During warm political campaign.
before the war, Mr.. Marshall went to
the highly moral and populous county
Of Ciafk to address the Citizens at the
Court House in Winchester. He was
aware that he had to address a most
moral, religious community, every
member Of which, almost without ex-
fception, belonged to one or other de-
nomination, and his adversary himself
was a strict "church member And
| to add to his embarrassment the
churches were about equally divided,
land he himself was known, to be not
remarkably pious. How to- please all
land offend none was task that only
his genius was equal to, and he wound
iup a long speech with the following
characteristic "electioneering dodge"
"Fellow citizens,n said he, amy
competitor is an honorable member of
the church-would to heaven I could
say as much for my self. There are
tsome who object to my religion, al
though, and I am sorry to say It, 1
have not enough of that article to COM
plain of. tits difficult, while I admire
all Christian men and women, to
make up my own mind as to the COM
parative virtues of the different denom-
nations; and perhaps, more than any
thing else,,d this fact has prevented me
from associating directly with any. l
Hike them-I admire them all. If !
had to frame a new church, should
select Presbyterian order, Baptist close
communion, Methodist zeal, and Camp
beiite faith, and when Idle; wouldn't I
go kiting to heaven in handgallop!"
1t is useless to add that he carried
the county by large majority.-Loqis:

Slanderous Reports Answered.
.4 .CADIz, O., April 11th.
WAselING4uN, April la

The Cincinnati Commercials WASH
ingtOn correspondent, Denn Piatt,
whose peculiar mission appears to be
the abuse of the Republican, party in
general, and its Representatives in au-
fhority particularly, has been slashing
and slandering the President and the
Republics IN members of Congress at
such fearful rate. that some of the
Commerciaps readers, who are Repub-
licans, but who do not know the char
acter this fellow sustains to those who
are best acquainted with him, have got
to believe that there may be truth in
what he writes 81 HiuI @.sr - ifq
] It is as well; known to the people OF
Washington city as it is to the editor OF
the Commercial that Piatt's character
is at the lowest ebb. Further it is
loudly whispered in Washington city
that -s-s--
For ways that are dark and tricks that are
This same Donn Piatt is PECULIAR Isns- ,
these same whispers ''the birds of the
air'' have taken up and carried even Sc
far as our quiet town of Cadiz.
This being the case, 1t Is well that
this fellows slanders should not go out
to the world without the world know
ing something of this human being.
Iatterly, Piatt's vile pen has been
specially directed to the abuse and
Islander of our honored representative
in Congress, John A. Bingham. We
propose to offer some Democratic testi.
mony in reply to one of these infamous
charges that of drunkenness. III
To any of Mr.. Bingham's constitu.
|ents, or to any one that is personally
Acquainted with him, this would be
unnecessary, as Mr.. Bingham's charac
ter is 50 entirely the opposite of what
Ptatt charges that he himself has not
land would not deign to natice such
malicious falsehoods; emanating as they
do from q vitiated and corrupt hear.
and a mind, naturally brilliant, but no =.
besotted and diseased. ~
Without, then, Mr.. Bingham
knowledge or consent-for as before
stated he no doubt thinks the charge
too absurd to deserve a passing notice
but out of love for his character as q
statesman and a citizen, we ask you tC
publish, in connection with this, the
following article from the Guernsey
County Times, a newspaper printed al
Cambridge, in this congressional dis.
trict: -sSf';i'
