Died in Limerick, Me- April 8. OF
Consumption. Mrs. Ruth Wadsworth
Poindexter, wife of Rsv. Samuel Poindex
Ter. and daughter of Col. Charles, and
Sarah Wadsworth ot Hiram, aged Is
years, months, Z days. She had been
falling for two years, but she bore her
suileiings with such uncomplaning iorti-
Jude that her friends did MT until recently
anticipate fatal result. She experienced
religion at the age of sixteen under the
preaching OF Rev. Henry Linscott, by
whom she was baptised in May. 1913,
and admitted 10 the NJ. +. Church. After
her marriage in Dec. l349 she joined the

member until her decease. She was
educated at Limerick Academy and
Parsonsiield Seminary, possessed gifted
mind enriched by culture, and was Tor
years an accomplished and successful
teacher. Her character from childhood
was singularly pure. beautiful and
peaceabe. aud won numerous friends
all along the pathway oil life, who will
learn with sadness the tidings OF her
death. Modest. gentle. and alfectionate,
quiet and unassuming, she sought not.
nor desired the empty baubIe ol fame,
but with unseliish devotion, sought the
good OF others, and in womln's holiest

dear ones are orpaIns nov; the hands
that so long guided their footsteps in the
paths of virtue are now ut rest, and the
voice so teadel an gentle with the rich
ness of maternal love is singing the
enhancing song of the Seraph in that
bright and where she awaits their com

bereaved hearts are her thrilling words
OF triumph as her lie ebbed away, and
she passed into the valley OF Death, no
longer lonely, but iilumined by The re-
hscion of Christian life, blending with
the halo from the radiant world beyond.
She spoke cheertully OF her Death and
funeral. OF the rest that awaited her. ot
the presence ol Jesus, aud The peace
that filled her heart. OF death as the be
ginning OF eternal lite, aud reunion
with the friends who had gone before.
Rev. Emery II. Butts of Ross Corner,

As memory roves back 10 the dear old

The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1875-04-14

For years the enemies of General
John A. Logan have asserted that
he recruited company of soldiers
for the rebel army before he es.
poused the Union cause. The
charge was that he operated Sc
cretly as possible for fear of arrest,
intending to join the men on the
Kentucky side of the Ohio river as
soon as he had enlisted all that he
could drum up for the confederacy
in that vicinity Williamson county, },
but that before he got through the
job he decided to cast in his for
tunes with the North. At last
that scandal has taken q definite
form and challenged attention.
One Wheatley has made affidavit to
the charge, claiming to have been
one of the seventy ''rebs'' of that
county whom ''said Logan conduc-
ted under cover of night to a place
on the Ohio river where they
crossed into Kentucky and joined
the confederate army. Thorndyke
Brooks, Lieutenant Colonel in the
confederacy, now living in Balti
more, brands the charge as q ''lie
throughout" He adds, in further
vindication of General Logan, to
whom letter is addressed:
The only body of men ever taken
from Williamson county, ILL.,, to the
Confederate army that I know of
were those that went with me.
With the recruiting of these or
sending off you certainly had moth
ing to do. Said Wheatley was
never in Illinois that know of be-
fore the war. joined the Southern
cause, believing it the right one,
and never have changed my opin
ion on that point. However, not be-
ieving any good can be accom-
plished by propagating lies or with
holding the truth. I have written
you this letter as requested.
And 30 the Logan Scandal, which
has been floating about ever since
he joined the Republican party, has
at last been brought within reach
and exploded.

General Sherman's Book

An American work which prom-
Uses to excite much public interest
this spring is the memoirs of
General w. T. Sherman" which d.
Appleton & Co., expect to have
ready early in May. It will make
two small octave volumes, of about
400 pages each Cprobably at IS sol
and will include in q pocket q large
copperplate map of the theater of
his 'campaigns--from one of the
largest ''coppers'' ever engraved.
General Sherman is known as q
capital talker, and in this book he
is said to write much as he talks
with the same freedom and spirit.
He occupies about $50 pages in q
rapid sketch of his early career and
observations, beginning with his
experiences as a first lieutenant of
artillery in the early days of Cali
fornia, and following his curiously
varied life up to the time of the
war, as banker in California, and,
during the panic of 1857, in New
York; a lawyer in Leavenworth,
Kan. president of the college at
Baton Rouge. La, and president of
a street car company in st. Louis.
The body of the works gives de
tailed account of his campaigns.
In the last chapter he has revised
and extended his papers in The
Army and Navy Journal, which at
tracted 50 much attention here and
abroad.

The Personal. Political, and Prop
erty Rights of Citizen Of the United
States How to exercise and how to
preserve them; by Theophilus Par
sons, LII. d. National Publishing
Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.
A careful perusal of this work will
convey an adequate understanding Of
all legal questions arising in public or
private life, for it gives a clear expla-
nation of those universally recognized
principles, on which are based all ex-
listing laws that were enacted to secure
US in the enjoyment of our rights and
privileges.
That every one should be we'll in
formed concerning the rights and du-
ties of the citizen, is of the greatest
importance in this country where he
participates 80 freely and so directly
in the affairs of government.
THIS volume will prove of great
value to the statesman and to lawyers,
and cannot but lie eminently useful to
the citizen of every class and calling.
The ability, accuracy and long ex-
perience OF the author as law writer
and teacher, are a sufficient guaranty
that the work is one of merit and USE
fulness. The language of the author
is simple, he eliminates from it those
obstruse phrases SO common in most
law books, and brings his subjects
within the comprehension of those
unlearned in the law.
His explanation Of the causes which
led to the framing and adoption of the
Constitution Of the United States, and
its principles and purposes, is alone
we'll worth the cost of the volume to
every one who aspires to the full en-
joyment of the privileges guaranteed
him by the Supreme Law of the land.
The vast amount of useful knowledge.
the excellent forms, the rules for the
organization, and procedure Of DELHI
erative bodies and the glossary of law
terms in common use make this work
one of great popular value

EDITOR PALLADIUM As 1 am
con the wing" I viii give you a few
jottings. This county lCarrolD is
finely located on the Wabash, has a
good fertile soil. and in some localities
is we'll improved, Ia others is rather
backward. The wheat prospect is
good. as it is also in Cass county; yet
some Of the farmers are complaining
and predicting all kinds of misfor-
tunes to the crops.
The new temperance Law does not
please the saloonists. They say it is
not SO good for them as was the Bax-
ter law-hope that they are truthful
in their assertions. aud that they will
find it an improbable business. While
we are opposed to all license laws on
the question, let as use it to the best
advantage, and aid an far as possible,
verifying the predictions of the liquor
sellers that it is not good law for
them; and every wife, parent, child.
and trustee should avail themselves
Of the rights granted to them, and
forbid the sale to those whom they
have to depend upon for happiness
and bread. With persistent efforts
we can accomplish much good; may
we nerve ourselves for action and see
that it is rigidly enforced.
Reform is still the order, and our
Legislature gave us a few examples of
what can be done in that line, by re-
fusing to levy tax sufficient to main
tain our schools, and failing to pass
an act to compel attendance to the
common school, but has left the edu-
cation of many children to the street
associations, and finally, to compul-
sorry education in our prisons or re-
form schools after a course of crime.
When will We learn that it is better
to prevent than to attempt the cure of
evils. L.

The Reason Why the Old war Horse
WITH Not Rum i'm the GubernAs0rial
Race Of Ohio.
The Hon. B. F. Wade, who has
been mentioned as a probable candi-
date for the Governorship of Ohio at
the election the coming fall, writes as
follows to friend in Cincinnati
WASHINGTON. April 5, 1875.
Joseph FL. Barrett. Esq.
My DEAR FRIEND: Yours of the
31st March is received, and it's con-
tents anxiously reflected upon. The
question has been frequently asked
me by many persons of late if 1 am a
candidate for Governor of Ohio, etc.,
and my answer has been uniformly in
the negative; but this answer has not
been prompted by any want of zeal in
the great Republican cause. On the
contrary, l have no doubt that the
best interests of the Republic, If not
indeed the Republic itself, will de-
pend upon the ascendency of that
great party to the councils Of the ma
ton for many years to come. The
Democratic party never had but one
principle of policy before the war, and
that was to uphold and extend human
slavery. Since the war all its princi-
Piles and practices are negative and
dcspotical, and should they triumph
all that we have gained by the war
would be lost, and worse than lost.
Why, then, you will ask, do you
hesitate to be a candidate? My an
swer is: 1. Because I am not quail
fed for the great struggle which is
before US. For two years past my
voice has been so used up that 1 have
not been able to make a speech, and
it is worse now than ever. And this
reason Of itself is all sufficient, as you
will agree. 2. 1t has ever been a
fundamental principle with me, and
never yet violated, that the Office
should seek the man, and not the man
the Office; and, in accordance with this
principle, l early took a solemn oath
that [ would never stump the public
for, or in favor of, an Office which 1
was to fill; and even if were able to
do go, that oath would bar me.
never yet solicited any mortal man for
an office. It would be too humiliating.
l would sooner beg for old clothes.
These, you will say are old FASH
Toned ideas; but if this glorious gov
eminent is ever ruined, it will be by
Office seekers.
Another reason, which, however.
does not amount to much, is that 1
cannot well afford to take the position.
Though long time in Office. 1 made
but little out of it.
/ am not insensible of the great
debt of gratitude 1 owe to the people
of Ohio for their confidence and sup
port, and will do all I can to redeem
1t. Truly your friend,
b. f.. WADE.

be fruitless. It would be a calamity
if an insufficient body of troops should
be met and put to rout by the rioters,
for a victory of that kind would en-
courage them to such resistance as
would require the greatest efforts Of
the State to overcome. 1t does not
matter what the provocation of the
miners may be. We do not doubt
that they have grievances, and that
they have been, in many instances,
shabbily treated by the proprietors of
the mines. But their demand at pres
ent seems unjust They ask an in :

if it were otherwise, however, no man,

refuse to work for the price offered
That is their right The employer
may refuse to give what the workmen
demand; that is his right. Violence
to compel the former to pay more is
no more admissible than it would be
for him to employ force to compel
them to work for less. These strikes
are growing. year by year, more dan
gerous to life, property. and good or
der. They must be put down, and the
offenders made to realize the magni-
tude of their crimes, or law is at an
end. Murder is no less murder when
committed by individuals leagued for
purposes of violence and intimidation
than when done in brawls of any 9TH
er character. For a number of weeks
past crimes of the most atrocious
character have been committed by
these societies, and the perpetrators
should be brought to justice, if it re-
quires the whole power of the State to
do it. We hope and believe that Gov
ernor Hartranft appreciates the grav-
ity of his position, and will move en-
ergetically in quelling the disturban-
ces.-Inter- Ocean.
