Amnesty.

The Democratic party are trying to
make political capital out of the am
nesty question. They charge, and
they try to make great many people
believe, that the Republicans in Con
gress and out of Congress are unwil-
ling TO restore to the rebels of the
South the right of suffrage, and that
they are not permitted to have voice
in the selection of public officers
Now, the truth is, there is no man in
the Southern States but can vote
if he wishes to but such rebels as Jeff
Davis cannot hold Office, land we do
not know that they ever ought to y but
if he should not be entitled to that right,
the Democratic members in Congress
and the Democratic party have no
right to charge it as the fault of the
Republicans. Edgar Evans, Esq, tells
the reason why it is that every rebel
in the south is not, under the law, eli
gible to hold Office, and why the com
plete amnesty has not been given to
all classes of rebels. We quote the
last paragraph of his speech delivered
at Chillicothe on the goth ult.
There is not a DISTINGUISHED man
in the South, and there would not
have been DISTINGUISHED one to-day if
the Democrats had not defeated the am
hesty bill at the last session of Con-
gress. After the civil rights bill had
been amended so that there was moth
ing to which any reasonable man could
oject, it was united with the amnesty
bill and put to vote, but every Demo
crat in the Senate, with Upton and
Trumbull, voted ''no,' and it lacked
one vote of having the required two
thirds, If a single Democrat had vot
ed ''yes," to day jeff Davis and every
man IN the South could hold any Office
in the gift of the people. The only
object they could have had in de
leating the bill was to keep the amnes
ty question in the political field to use
this fall. They are now attacking the
Republican party for not bringing
about entire reconciliation, but they
are the parties responsible for defeat
ing the amnesty. bill which would have
removed all political disabilities The
Republicans want entire reconcilia-
ton and will bring 1t about as soon as
they can"

It Makes a Difference.

Up in the 9th Congressional District
of this State, where Hon. j. w. Rob
inson is the Republican candidate for
Congress, the Democratic papers and
orators argue it as an objection to him,
that he is a manufacturer. He owns a
wooden mill in Union county. In a
speech the other day for Morgan,
the Democratic candidate, Powell, said
that "Morgan was one Of the people,
one whose every interest was denti-
fed with the people, that he had no
interest other than this. That on the
other hand, Robinson was q manufac-
turer; that he belongs to that class of
men. and belonging to that class he
has no interest in common with the
people of this county"
In this district the Democratic can
didate for Congress against Mr.. Smith.
(who is practical farmer is also, or
has for many years been manufac-
turer too, but we hear no objections
made by the Democratic papers and
orators of the District on that account
but probably the reason may be thai
instead of manufacturing wool into
clothing for the farmers, he, Sohn
manufactured lager beer. It makes {
great difference in the eyes Of Dem
ocrat you see.

z5S ~
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY 1900.

The election took place in the State
of Maine on Monday, and resulted in Il
most glorious Republican victory.
They have elected every member of
Congress by increased majorities, and
every member of the State Senate and
two thirds of the House of Represen-
tatives. Gov. Perham is reelected by a
majority of from 10000 to $4,000.
A gain of from 5000 to 1000 over
last year Hurrah for Maine! Tell
it to everybody; tell it to the Greeley
men who were so confident that the
mongrel Democrats would carry the
State.

Special Dispatch to the Cint'i Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.
Col. Stewart, Indiana, now in this
city, has just received a letter from
Gen. J. D. Webster, Chief of Staff to
Gen. Sherman during the war, in an
swer to one in relation to the charges
that Gen. Grant was intoxicated at
Shiloh. He states what he knew of
Gen. Grants condition during the two
days of the battle, as follows, in
which he effectually disposes of this
long standing slandre:
"CHICAGo, Sept. 4, 1872.
''Coz. Isaac s. ,SteUart:
DEAR SIR-Your note of the Cd
inst. is just received, and in reply l
have to state that you are authorized
on my behalf to deny in the most en-
phatic manner all statements of Gen.
Grant having been drunk, or in any
degree under the influence of liquor,
at the battle of Shiloh. l was at this
time his Chief of Staff and Chief of
Artillery. I breakfasted with the Gen
eral at Savanna on Sunday, ihe first day
of the battle. / went on board the
boat with him, and rode into the field
with him a about 81 O'Clock, in person,
and was necessarily with him, except
at intervals of absence on dnty, the
whole day. l laid down with him
long after dark, at night, on a small
parcel of hay which the Quarterulas-
ter put down to keep us out of the
mud, in the rear of the artillery line
on the left, and never heard till long
afterward OF any idea entertained by
anybody that he was drunk, nor did
see him drink during the day, and am
sure he was perfectly sober, as he was
self possessed and collected during
the varying fortunes of that celebra-
ted battle. If there are any words in
which l can deny the miserable
charge more fully and distinctly, 1 am
ready to adoubt them.
Very truly yours,
TSigned] 81. D. Webster.
Late Brevet Maj. Gen. of Volunteers,
and Chief of staff to Gen. W. t. Sher-
man."

Among the most accommodating
officials we know of are Messrs G. A.
Beery and G. w. Jones of the tele-
graph Office at this place. The good
nature with which they receive appli
cations for information conce1hing
any political or other event of impor-
tance which may happen to be on the
tapis, as well as the trouble they take
to give our citizens the earliest news,
has given them the reputation Of be-
ing the cleverest gentlemen. We take
this occasion TO return thanks for nu-
merous favors shown Chillicothe

Hon. Mills Gardner.

One of the most effective and logic
al speeches made tnis campaign was
that delivered by the Hon. Mills Gard
ner, of Fayette County, before our
Grant Club last Tuesday evening,
1t is the hardest matter in the world
to hold q political audience in hand
for any great length of time, yet Mr..
Gardner was 50 clear, incisive and so
generally happy and pertinent i'll his

quest of our Committee, Mr.. Gardner
will devote a portion of his time to a
canvass in Butler County Hamilton

We heard couple of men, the
other day, talking about the different
Presidential candidates. One was a
Greeley Liberal Republican, and the
other was an O'Conor Democrat. The
Greeley man observed, tauntingly, that
it was good thing for the O'Conor
men that JEFF Davis was not brought
to trial, because he said that O'Conor
had been employed to defend jeff on
his trial. Whereupon tue O'Conor
Democrat instantly remarked, with a
good emphasis, that it was no worse
for O'Conor to defend jeff Davis than
it was for Greeley to bail hin.
That was TIT for tat, as the boys
say.
