NAPOLEON ON SEDAN.
The Responsibility for tho Surrender
It Wounded Ills Heart, but GaTs Him
m Easy Conscience.

The following Is the letter recently written
by the ex-Emperor Napoleon, explaining the
surrender OF Sedan:
General-Hoding myself, as do, RESPONSE
b. brtufe the country for the Institutions OF
The Empire, only recognize judgments which
hav. been pronounced by the people, regular
ly consulted. 1t Is not my duty 10 appreciate
the report OF the commission OF inquiry on
the capllnlalion of Sedan. l copfne my sell to
recalling to the principal Witnesses OF tbat
catastrophe The critical position in which we
fourd ourselves. The army commanded oy
the Duke OF Magenta had nooly performed lls
duty, 1t had Struggled heroically against an
enemy twice It's number. When 1t was iorced
back on the walls OF The town, and even Into
the town itself, 1t left fourteen thousand dead
and wounded covering the field Of battle on
which had Witnessed the contest. The situa.
tion then became desperate, but the honor OF
the army was saved by the gallantry 1t had dis
played. / exercised my right as sovereign in
ordering the parllame nlary flag TO re ralseg'
and am fully prepared 10 bear the RESPONSE
biljty of that act. The -leeiructlon OF ei1ty
Thousand more meu would not have saved
France. The sublime devotion OF officers and
soldiers would have been usrlrssly sacrificed.
We had then to obey cruel but inexoraole
necessity. It wounded my heart, but gave me
an easy conscience. Be assured, genera, Oh
my sentiments. NAfohsoS'

We had the pleasure ola call on Satur-
day of last week from Mr. j. W. O'Neal,
the popular general agent Of the Howe
sewing machine for the Northwest, and
Mr.. J. N. johnson, his well-known spe-
cial agent. Mr.. O'Neal informs US that
the demand for the Howe sewing ma
chine is so rapidly increasing, that they
have for some time past been unable to
supply the trade. The Howe Sewing
Machine Co., owingto the increased pop
ularity of their machine, have been com
PEELED to double their manufacturing ia
%cilities. No lady should purchase a ma
chine without first examining the Howe.
Mr.. John r. Avis and J. W. johnson,
the clever and polite agents OF Andrew
county, are always ready to explain the
reason why those who know the Howe,
think it the best. Get the first, the
best. the Howe. It is undoubtedly the
best in the market.

WELLINoTOE. O.. Aug. %.

WELLINGTON, o., Aug. %.
En-. HEPUBLIcAN-Thc opening OF
the Ohio Republican campaign yester-
day in torain county, has been a
| glorious and grand successful five
thousand people In attendance and
| about two miles of vehicles of all kinds
and descriptions in tho procession,
some of which were most gorgcously
decorated with evergreerss, banners.
notices and symbols of all kinds, and
freighted with as many of our fair sen
as could be packed in the same space.
There was q great contrast between
this and the Greeley meeting, held at
Oberlin, Tuesday, to listen to the once
respected President of the Oberlin
College, Mr.. Mahan. The meeting
was held in the chapel, and in all was
not more than two hundred, and,
owing to the position the speaker once
held in the college, full three-fourths
of them were Republicans, not more
than fifty Greeleyites being present.
Thus you see that, although the Re-
publicans of this county r dead. Gas
reported by the Greeleyites) we are,
as Gov. Moves said in his closing re-
marks, "a dreadful lively corpse" Our
meeting was addressed by Gov. Noyes;
MI. Monroe, of Oberlin; q. s. Sena-
tor Sherman, and . couple other very
able speakers, who, not dealing in
bandying ephithets against Greeley
and Brown, made dreadful thrusts
with facts and figures, that sank heavy
into tie wounds of our sore-headed
brethren.
There is no Republican but says the
old Buckeye State'' will give a good
ly majority for Grant, but it is the
opinion of your correspondent that
there will be such q shaking up of
dry bones throughout the. State, that
there will be q majority that has new
or been excelled In any Presidential
campaign, since the dawning of light
upon our glorious Republic.

Consistency.

SAVANNAH, aug. ~.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: The editor
| of the New Era assails me in his issue
| of the 9th inst, for inconsistency
| Since he is known in this county as the
pink of perfection and propriety (?) he
is just the man, above all others, to
| talk of consistency, The character of
his assault Che seems to know nothing
outside of vindictive malice) although
malicious and ungrateful, is not unex-
pected; for almost every man in this
community who has been devoted to
Republican principles, progressive
ideas and good government has in-
Cured the displeasure of this con-
tumelious reviler. j. E. Huston. or
| the Democratic tongue that prompted
him TO write the scurrilous lines to
which l have alluded, knew that in the
| dark days of Missouri / joined the
first company of enrolled Missouri
Militia that was formed in Andrew
county, and that if l had been on the
opposite side, as he charges, 1 should
have been placed on the notorious
Order No. a." where l refer him for
the names of his sweet friends. He
knows, also, thai / hold All honorable
discharge from the service of the
United States, that l voted for Mr..
Lincoln in 1864 and General Grant
in 1868. But, because / was credu-
lous and magnanim0us enough to
vote for Brown and the amendments
in 1870, and support Grant in 1872,
my politics are, all at once, extremely
~vacilating. Well, l am n of those
who were deceived in 1870, tits true,
but then ! have illustrious examples.
He says that l have been everything
BY turns and nothing long" / can
think of no n to whom the above
quotation could be more fittingly ap-
piled than to its author.
Since you are SO apt at giving an
tecendents, Mr.. Huston, suppose you
give us q disquisition ON yourself
Tell the good people of this county
how long you preached for the Meth
dists, how long for the Universalists,
and how you was snubbled by BOTH
You was a Reformer once, too. Tell
us again, what you know about re-
trenchment when there are delinquent
tax lists to publish. We would all
like to know just how bitterly
you hated Democrats, and how ten
derby you loved Republican principles
in days gone by.
But enough. Mr.. Editor, l do not
desire to intrude on valuable space in
your paper. l did not intend or ex-
pect to say anything that would in
jure the steadfast reputation ~ of
your contemporary. 1t is my opinion
that he is shooting himself o eff
fectually with his own powder than
either you or l could do it.

Death In a Wall

On Monday last MI. Ezra T. Dickey
OF this city, commenced digging a well
on the place Of Mr.. Joseph Buhler, nea,
this city. When he had got down about
twenty feet, it was found difficult to re.
main in the well very long at a time, on
account Of the clamps" When he
ceased digging, that evening, the we'll
was some thirty feet deep, and the at.
mosphere at the bottom was very highly
i~mpregnated with the poison. Mr..
Dickey warned any one from attempting
to dig in it on the following day, as by
that time he thought no one would be
able to remain in the we'll any time at all.
On Tuesday, however, although lighted
candles previously let down into the we'll
had been extinguished by the "damps'
before reaching the bottom, Mr.. Thomas
Dickey essayed to go into the well, with
the understanding with Mr.. Buhler, who
let him down, that upon a signal that he
couldn't stand it he was to be hauled up
Immediately. Upon being lowered nearly
to the bottom water had not yet been
reached), Mr.. Dickey was heard to ex-
claim: 81 can't stand it." Mr.. Butler
at once commenced hauling him up, but
Thomas was at the same moment so over
come by the insidious poison that he fell
lifeless from the bucket in which he was
standing. Mr.. Buhler Immediately gave
the alarm, and it was many minutes be-
fore Mr.. John Dickey, uncle of the un-
fortunate victim in the well, appeared,
and was about to climb precipitately
down the rope to rescue his nephew, and
would thereby only have added his own
to the corpse already lying at the bottom.
The rope was made fast to him first,
however, and the lifeless form Of the un-
fortunate mar was soon brought to the
top. Medical aid was hastily sent for,
but the fatal poison had efectually done
its work, and be was therefore beyond
the assistance of mortal power. The de-
ceased was buried on Tuesday aft ernoon.
