upon the offence of which he was
charged, and then because we under
take to be facetious at the absurdity
of her simile she draws herself back
behind her crinoline and assumes the
role of insulted femininity and at
tempts to wipe us out with the frowns
from her corrugated brow. Far be it
from us to insult any lady, and it
seems to us remarkable display of
prudery in our sister of the quill and
paste-pot when she conjured up an in
tended insult out of a simple jest at
the expense of her ridiculous imagi-
nation in regard to Bill Watkinds
and Sam Clarke. When women
thrust themselves in front of the bay
onet they must expect to be
pierced by the glittering steel, and
when they permit their indiscretion
to draw them into the discussion of a
swiftly subject they must tolerate

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS is taxed of
as the Radical candidate for Presi-
dent. and John Quincy Adams, his
son, is suggested as the Democratic
candidate for the same position.
Horace Greeley says he won't sup
port either of them by A-dam-site.
The New York Herald hoists the
names of Salmon p. Chase and Gen.
Hancock as Democratic candidates
for President and Vice President re-
spectively. That's Presidential
Chase that we wouldn't engage in
very extensively.
HoN. Dan. W. VOORHEES, publishes
q letter in which he announces that
he has only one wish of q personal
nature connected with political life,
and that is to see Hon. Thomas III.
Hendricks the standard bearer of the
Democratic party in 1872. With the
greatest respect for all the other dis.
tinguished gentlemen who have been
named In that connection, Mr.. Voor-
hees thinks Indiana has the most
available man, and one who by his
great ability and unquestioned integ-
rity would bring the Office of chiei
magistrate of the republic back to its
ancient dignity, efficiency and respect
ability. He firmly and fully believes
that Mr.. Hendricks would beat Grant
as badly as any man has been beaten
for that position in the history of the
country.
A TERRIBLE tornado, at Dayton
Ohio, on the 9th inst, blew down 6
bridge, which killed two boys who
had sought shelter under it from the
storm; the tornado also destroyed the
new Lutheran Church in Dayton, and
three persons wero instantly killed by
its falling walls. One of the persons
killed was the Superintendent of tie
Sabbath School, another was lady
teacher and the third was scholar in
the school.
A FRIEND of the late Hon. G.. L.
Vallandigham was the other day
standing on the steps of Dayton
hotel, illustrating to another gentle
man the manner of Mr.. VS. death
when the pistol he was handling was
accidentally discharged, and killed
him almost precisely as Vallandigham
was killed. This is the most remark
able case of the kind on record. We
hardly think any one else will under
take a practical illustration of Mr.
Fallandigham' s lamentable demise.
OLD BEN. WADE has been scoopei
T out in the Ohio Radical Convention
and General Noyes has been nomi
mated for Governor. General noise
may do well enough before election
but the general result may foot NJ
altogether different after election.
Is the telegraph between San Fran
cisco and Portland owned by Ben
! Holiday? We see that the sailin.
) of the opposition steamer "Constan
tine" from San Francisco last weel
!. was not telegraphed to Portland, an.
we Webfeet were utterly ignorant o
f her whereabouts until her arrival il
that city last Sunday.
We learn from the telegraph tha
on last Saturday night the Democrat
of San Francisco held the larges
, political meeting seen in that city TO
several years-twice as large as th
Republican meeting of the night pre-
yious. The heretofore dissenting ele
ments of the Democracy of that cit
are all harmonious and united, an
greater enthusiasm exists in th
party's ranks than ever before in tina
State.
