The Mll!Igan Verdict.

The St. Louis Republican says of the
ver,lict in the MILLIGAN case:
"The verdict is not satisfactory to eli
ther side. The trial involved large
political element, and this gave it sort
of national interest. The plaintiff and
his friends consider five dollars very in
significant satisfaction for an ignomini

year and a half, and the defendant and
his friends dislike verdict that is con-
demna!ion of the whole Republican pol

the war. The Indiana Republicans are
also dissatisfied with it, because it con
demns before hand the arrests and i'm.
prisonments which the President and his

that the defendant will either ask for :

The Potato Bug i'm the West.
From the Detroit Post, May S0.]


The potato bugs, from the ravages Of
which the western part Of the State suf-
fered so much last year, have made their
appearance in this vicinity in overwhel-
ming numbers. They come into our
gardens, and even into our houses, and
swarm upon the sidewalks, to be crush
ed by the feet of pedestrians. A gen
tleman from Crosse Point reports that
they seem to be quite as much at home
on the water as upon land, and that the
surface of the lake is literally alive with
them, as it often is with the June flies,
which so swarm about our street-lamps
on warm summer evenings. He says
the potato bugs often fly considerable
distance, and that they float easily on
the surface of the water. They are evil
IDENTIFY bound to make raid on Canada,
and it will prove more disastrous than
any Fenian raid has ever been. The
curious instinct which prompts them to
travel eastward does not find itself
thwarted by wide bodies of water, for
they float across, and resume their jour
ney on the other side. 1t would be in
teresting to know for what great purpose
these bugs started out on their trip from
the Rocky Mountains eastward, and why
they have been so frightlully prolific on
the way. 1t now seems probable that
the potato crop in Michigan will prove
an entire failure this year.

The Crops.

To the Editor of the Commercial:
From personal observation and infor-
nation from reliable farmers and fruit

miles of this place, including portions
of Belmont, Noble, Monroe and Guern-
sey Counties, am enabled to make the
following crop report, viz: On the low

peaches, cherries and plums are serious

the orchards personally inspected but
few s'raggling specimens of fruit are
left. On the elevated knolls and ridges
the fruit crop is comparatively uninjur-
ed. In this immediate vicinity, which
is quite an elevated region, the pros
pect is good for an abundant crop, es
pecially peaches.

thrill of horror and dismay ran through
the household-Miss Carrie was miss

ble suspicion that filed her fathers

terrible tragedy or hideous atrocity as
the cause of the young lady's exodus
from the bosom Of her family and his
arms, and it was not until paterfamilias
received a certain letter from the coun-
try that lie became aware of the true

Lost Their Instrument.
From the Chicago Times.l

The Democrats of Ohio have not for
gotten financial issues in discussing the
Constitution as it is. They declare for
a revenue tariff; for the redemption OF
our bonds in treasury notes for the alb
clifton of the national banks; for the
payment of customs duties either in
coin or currency; for the reduction of
expenditures, and for making greenbacks
convertible into 8 per cent. bonds at the
option of the note-holder, and the bonds
redeemable in grcenbacks on demand.
There is nothing uncertain about these
declarations of policy. When Pendle-
ton was candidate for Governor, the
Republican press and speakers of that
State were driven to the acknowledge
ment that the five twenty bonds were
payable in treasury notes, and that the
payment of premium on them was
dishonest, and a fraud upon the tax
payers. Had financial issues only been
considered, Pendleton would have been
elected. He was defeated by the same
tactics which Morton proposes to en-
ploy in the next Presidential campaign.
The people were told that the Democrat
ic party intended 10 overthrow the results
of the war. 1t would deny the validity
of the constitutional amendments, re-es.
tablish slavery, send jeff Davis back to
the Senate, repudiate the national debt,
and pay for slaves lost by emancipation.
This balderdash and demagoeism was
roared from every hustings by every
Republican stump orator in the State.
Sherman was busy in proclaiming it,
and in appealing to party pride and
passions. A more contemplate exhi-
bition of demagogism was never made
by public man in the United States
than was made by Sherman in that cam
paign. He denounced the Democrats
as repudiators, Notwithstanding he had,
by facts and arguments which could not
be controverted, proven that the five
twenty honds were payable in currency.
The sort Of twaddle by which dis.
gusted Republicans in Ohio were kept
from leaving the party ranks will not
hereafter be effective. The resolutions
of the Democratic State Convention
have laid an injunction on it The vo,
tiers of the State can now inquire where
the money has gone which they have
directly and indirectly paid in taxes
without stopping to inquire what shall
be done for the negro.
Paying premiums when none are due
and paying interest to national banks
when none ought to be paid, and taxing
the people five or six hundred millions
of dollars to enrich manufacturers, and
exempting men whose wealth is in gov,
ernment bonds from taxation, and eX
pending three times as much as ough,
to be expended in the administration Of
the government, and turning our nation
al capitol into building where gangs
of bribe. takers meet to betray and plum
der the people, are matters which Re-
publican voters in Ohio will now consid
er. The Jacobin politicians must now
take the defensive. For the first time
in their lives they are bereft of the hope
of making political capital by "mak;ng
the niger squeal." He is taken from
them. They have lost their instrument

"ClOSing Up The Ranks"

The Cleveland Herald, under the head
democracy Closing up its Ranks"
shows signs of fear. The coming events
which cast their shadows before, gives
the editor q fit Of trembles, and thus he
counsels his party friends how to avoid
shipwreck:
"The Democracy of Ohio is going in
to win at the coming election, and the
Republicans must now stop talking about
sure victory; a nomination equivalent
to an election; any man can be elected
Governor that the Republicans see fit to
nominate; and all such twaddle as that

said stormy con venlion was sign Of

The first soon get over their rage, while
the latter enter the campaign with a
vigor and resolution that command Sue
cess. There has been no time since the
disloyalty of the Democrats stripped
them of power in Ohio, when the Demo-
cratic prospect was as good as it is now.
"The Republicans must make no mis-
take either in their nominations or in
their avowal Of principles. Their stron-
gest men must be put in nomination.
Nothing must be thrown away upon
mere questions of locality-even should
it be necessary to select every candidate
from the same county-nothing must he
sacrificed to political claims, so called
nothing must be yielded to personal pop
ularity. The platform-could we die
tate in the matter-would be a hand
pointing to the history of the Republi-
can party, with not a new "whereas" OF
fresh s'resolve." We tell the Repub.
licans of Ohio that no opening campaign
has ever promised harder fighting than
the one now inaugurated 5y the Demo
cratic nominations, and if the Republi
cans are wise they will lay the gravity o.
the occasion to heart and behave like
sound, sensible, wise men,"

wThe Chicago Journal, Radical
sheet, is incautious enough to admit that
the orly animating principle left in its
party is sectional rancor. IT expresses
its joy that "the reconstruction issues is
to be kept before the people," 1t sees
no hope of success unless the strife is
kept up. The North must be embitter-
ed against the white people of the
South; the negroes must be arrayed
against their natural friends; Congress
must continue to legislate; the military
alone must execute the laws, and a pro-
scribed people must, if possible, be
goaded into something like symptoms
of disaAection. This is the Radical
programme as foreshadowcd by oSena-
tor Morton, and the Chicago Journal
indorses it as the only practical method

NFThe New York Times, comment,

~The New York Times, comment
ing on several recent murder cases,
thinks that the public sentiment they
have awakened >cannot fail to have q
beneficial influence, and adds: "They
have revealed to a great multitude OF
men and women q conviction that to
punish criminals, and to punish them
with sufficient severity to deter Others
from committing the same crime, is not
revengeful or cruel, but thoroughly be
nevolent." This is lesson that for
years past we have greatly needed to
learn, for there has been so much PERM

eur County Ticse e..

The canvass in this county preceding
the primary election was one of the hot
test, and, in some instances, one of
the closest ever known in the county
Notwithstanding this, the defeated can
+didates, almost without exception, bear
their failure with the manly fortitude be-
coming to Democrats.
The ticket nominated is an excellent
one. We do not say this merely because
it is the proper thing to be said by all
partisans of their candidates, but because
a look through the list will convince any
man acquainted with the nominees that
it is an unusually strong ticket.
But there is another especially gratify-
inc feature about the result Of the con.
vention. That is, that most Of the de
feated candidates are stronger with the
people now than ever before. They
conducted the canvass fairly and honor
ably, aud the consequence is that many
who felt constrained TO vote against them
this time declare their determination to
vote for them at a future time, should
opportunity offer. This is especially
true with regard to the candidates for
some of the more warmly contested
nominations
This is gratifying not only because
among the defeated are many deserving
men, but because it encourages and re-
wards fair. dealing and upright conduct
in what is termed electioneering. Let it
be well understood that the candidate
who conducts campaign honestly
would, il elected, manage his Office hon
estly, and intrigue and trickery will soon
almost entirely disappear from our con-
ventions.
| We have an excellent ticket of com
petent men. Let there be no scratch on
il at the election.

radicals, Ready Relief.

- The Radicals are noisily proclaiming
that when they get thousand million
million dollars worth of the 6 per cent.
bonds exchanged for 5 per cent and a
percent bonds there will be saving of
ten to twelve millions annually in inter-
est. This claptrap may deceive some
body, but it should not impose upon a
cotton-feld negro.
In the first place the exchange has not
vet been made, and there is little proha-
bility that it will be made until long after
oblivion kindly swallows up the Radical
party. In the next place, if the exchange
could be made Immediately the people
would be the losers by it, The present
isscc of bonds>is taxable by the general
government, and would be taxed only
for the reason that the Radical leaders
want sbe influence of the bondholders in
the election, and suffer them to escape
taxation TO secure this influence. The
new bonds will be, absolutely untaxable
by any authority. So while the holders
would sacrifice one per cent in interest
by the exchange, they would save (if the
present bonds we're taxed as they should
bel over two per cent in taxation.
The Senate will have Radical major
fly for the next four years, and the bond
holders know that for that time they will
be. exempt from taxation They willex
change for the 5per cenr and 4! per cent
rontaxabfe bonds just when they discov-
er that party is coming into immediate
power which is determined to make
bondhoIders pay taxes just as others are
compelled to do.
