The Bonapartists seem to have aban-

vincing the middle and upper classes of
the French people that Imperialism is
the highest good which they can desire.
Pamphlets intended to influence the com

through Paris, but without any more lof-
ty appeal than such as lies in plea that
Napoleon has been generous to the
Church and has spent money literally.
This is the same defense of Napoleon
which was made by his American
friends who could not see how an
Emperor who had beautified Paris could
be other than truly great and good.

CAUTION TO FARMERS. I'VE caution
our readers against giving their notes

country is filled with precious rascals

parently plain enough, but which
when once signed, are so manipulated
as to make the signer liable for two
hundred dollars when intended to
make himself responsible for only a
small amount. beware of Pick

tired and "didn't want to be fooling

IGEN lNOYE6 41f0NG HIS MEN.

IGEM MOVES 141fONG HIS MEN.
In conversation with some of our
citizens who were soldiers with Gen.
Moves, we find that those who were
evidently good soldiers and industrious
men speak in the highest terms of his
soldie-iy qualities and moral force in
camp lie had his enemies only
among the derelict and idle, but those
who were disposed to be gentlemen
and do their duty uniformly respect
ed him. His first care seemed to be
the comfort of his men, and so attent-
i've was he to them that it became a
matter of general remark among 9TH
er regiments. In necessary duty he
did not spare them and the charge of
sseoward'' had no basis whatever. He
took special care that each man should
take care of his money, and to this end
he made efforts requiring more than
the usual moral stamina found among
officers wishing to be popular He
Thought nothing of going into tents
and breaking up gambling clubs among
his men. There are at least dozen
soldiers in this County, who, though
not IN Gen. Noyes regiment, know the
above statements to be true.

The Democracy of Belmont County
have an unhappy faculty of thrusting
round men into square holes and the
nomination of Chambers at BarEesville
on Thursday, is happy illustration OF
the fact. No one expected it, for no
one ever thought Of such a thing in his
caimer moments, but freaks of nature
always happen unexpectedly and the
desperate Travelling of the Democratic
kine with, Conetop foraeeoucheur could
hardly expect to do better. The birth
is effected, the offspring is christen-
ed and we will bide our time. With
the defeated candidates it is different.
Mr.. Swaney is justly sore over the treat
ment he has received. His political
life is now ended and he is laid upon
the shelf for all time to come. Owing
to his age and long devotion to the in
terests of his party this blow will fall
doubly heavy upon him, as it not only
robs him of the reward justly due him
from the men whom he has served,
but it blocks up bis career forever. 1t
is generally thus thatjustice is dealt out
in political eliques.i He was simply
sacrificed for aman and by men whom
he5trusted. Mr.. Swaney is to a algreat
extent misrepresented. No one Of his
associates doubts his honesty or the
manly principles that Lave controlled
him.during the latter years Of his life.
Disdaining the little tricks Of his party
he boldly announced himself for the
position, and to have a younger man
step stealthily in and occupy the chair
of honor granted by the .ancients to
seniority alone, is sufficient to embitter
the relations that have heretofore ex-
isted between him and his political as
sociates. 9i;,iil -i-5 ~. :.
Mr.. Ale2ander's popularity not only
developed itself early in the Conven-
ton but showed the strong hold which
he had upon his friends-they not de
serting him until the very last. We
congratulate Kim that, though defeat
ed. his stand in the Convention was a
virtual triumph over the bloated, blub.
bering clique that went to the Conyen-
ton to secure his defeat at any cost, and
we congratulate ourselves that if we
are so unfortunate. as to live under
Democratic rule, there are men in the
party whose ideas Of government, il
not dominant, go fare toward making
that rule endurable. Mr.. Alexander j:
a ayoung man and one whose talent:
must be recognized, if not by the party
with which he has cast his lot, then by

FROM THE STATE.

The Dead LOck-NO Provision for the
state Government Expenses
Special Despatch to The EUeli'Ig Telegraph.
Harrisburg, May 22.-Dr. shurlock, Chair
man, has issued a call for caucus of Republi-
can members, to be held this evening, to con-
slider what policy should be pursued with refer
ence to the course adopted by the Democratic
Senate on Saturday. The impression seems to
be that If an adjournment resolution is sent
into the House this evening it will be adopted,
and the Legislature will adjourn tomorrow
without providing for the ordinary expenses of
the State government.
A conference of prominent members of both
houses was held in Philadelphia on Saturday
night, but no satisfactory conclusion was ar
rived at This morning the impression prevails
that the position assumed by the Democracy of
the Senate was merely intended as an attempt
to intimidate the Republicans into passing the
Registry law amendments, and that they had no
intention that their resolutions, which were the
result of weeks caucusing should ever reach
the House.
The Republicans are willing that the Demo-
Gratis should'take the responsibility in prevent
ing the passage of the Appropriation bill, of
closing our schools and the charitable institu-
tions of the State.

in the locality got upon the track of Edward
Bradford, one of the escaped prisoners from the
county workhouse, and when the officer
attempted to arrest him he resisted, and his
friends came to his assistance. The officer, find
ing the opposing force too strong for him, re-
treated in good order and trapped" for assist
ance. One or two officers responded, but the
opposing force had by this time taken refuge in
stable, and having armed themselves with
brickbats and boulders, offered a very formida-
bic resistance. Notice was sent to the Office of
the Captain of the Night Watch, who summoned
about twenty of the night men and despatched
them to the scene of the conflict The stable
was stormed, and after a siege of about one hour
the walls we're reached, and by breaking through
the roof the officers effected an entrance to the
stronghold of the enemy and captured the entire
force The prisoners were conducted to the
lookup, where they were provided with quarters
for the night. During the engagement Officer

The Mileage Question.


WASHINGTON, May %.
The Mileage Question.
The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom
was referred the resolution of the Senate re-
ouesting the committee to examine and report
whether the members of the Senate are entitled
to mileage at the present special session, in
their report alude to the various acts on the
subject, and conclude by saying that the act of
July %, 1866, declares that the compensation
of each Senator shall be five thousand
dollars per annum, and in addition thereto
mileage at the rate of twenty cents
per mile, to be estimated by the nearest route
usually travelled in going to and returning from
each regular session. By implication this statute
repeals all former laws inconsistent with its pro-
visions, and in the opinion of the committee
limits the compensation and mileage of Senators
to five thousand dollars per annum, and mileage
in going to and returning from the regular ses-
slons of Congress. The committee therefore
report that the members of the Senate are not
entitled to mileage at the present special session.
The COntumaciOus Correspondents.
The act of 1857 provides when any witness
shall refuse to answer questions put byan COM
mittee of either branch of Congress, the fact
shall be reported to the Senate or House, when
it shall be the duty of the presiding officer to
certify the same to the District Attorney, in
order that the matter may be brought before the

sis for the past twentY-four hours:-Threatening
weather with light rains prevailed on Sunday morn
ing from Michigan to Louisiana. These have since
continued to slowly progress northeastward, eX-
tending for short time from this line to Lake Sn-
peror. Clear westher has continued in the Southern
