The Hubbub About Jcf. PAWS.

The county is disgusted, says the
Zancsyille Signal, with the disturbance
made by Blame and others inCOngress,
over the amnesty bill because jeff.
Davis is not excluded from its provis-
ions. The hollowness and hypocrisy
of Biaine's howling at the present bill
becomes manifest at once when it is
discovered that this bill is Identical,
word for word, with that unanimous
iy reported in the last Congress from
a committee of which Blaine was a
member, which bill was passed by the
House of Representatives, containing
over two-thirds Republican majority,
and was defeated only in the Senate
as il had been in the preceding Con-
gress.
This being the record made by two
Republican Congresses, the particular
heinousness of proposing passage
of a similar bill in the present Demo-
cratic Congress would seem rather re-
mote. In fact. ii this Democratic Con-
gress had omitted such an amnesty
bill, the omission would have been
made a matter of reprOach by its Re-
publican opponents.
But the truth is, Jeff. Davis is not
worthy OF all this turmoil on his ac-
count. He is as dead. politically, as
Julius Casar: and to make so much
fuss over his nero name is beneath
the dignity of Il great nation aud peo-
pie. 1t is absurd and ridiculous. 1t
would be more becoming to pass INN
over in silent contempt. AS tor Davis
individually, few persons would care
whether he were pardoned at nOI, but
the sooner he is dropped out or sight
and hearing, The sooner wall oblivion
reach him.

The Radical leaders have recently

The Radical leaders have recently
raised a terrible howl about 'Confed-
crate Drigadiers." A little seli-exam-
iIatien might do them some good.
Slippo1e we glance at the ''Confeder-
ate Brigadiers" who hold high rank in
the Radical army. For instance, Hays,
a4tepublicanC CongT essman OLA labama.
was a Confederate General; James l.
Alcorn, Republican Senator from
Mississippi, was a Confederate Gener-
al Charles Pelham, q Republican Con-
gressman from Alabama, was q gal
liant Confederate ; David +. Lewis, the
Republican Governor of AlaLama,
was all original secessionist and a
Confederate soldier Alexander White
of Alabama. u rampant Republican,
was q Confederate McKlnstry, Re-
publican candidate for LieutenantGov-
ernor of Alabama, was Confederate
soldier i'll General Forests command
during the war; Governor Parsons,
President of the Outrage" Conven-
tiOn at Chattanooga, was a Conieder-
crate in feeling and in sentiment, from
principle; Richard Henry Whitley,
member ot Congress from Georgia, Il
Republican, was the first to enter the
Confederate service, and never surren-
dered until April, 1865; William a.
Smith, Republican member from North
Carolina, was Confederate; Long
street, one OF Grants right hand Re-
publican bowers, was a Confederate
General; Mosby.. OF Virginia; Poole.
Settle and Holden, oi North Carolina,
Far.an, of Arkansas, Boulds Barber,
of Texas, and many others, were Con-
fcderates during the war. and are
now publicans, ,and the Wilmington,
On. C.) JOorndi says: 4" Look at our
State, aud see who are the natives who
have held office among the Republi-
cans. Judge Holden and Brogdcn,
Judge Rodman, Settle and Clark, SEN
aiOr Pool, Congressman Thomas and
Smith. United States Judge Dick,
United States Attorney Badger and
Erwin, and q list OF men OF less note,
sw ere either blatcnt secessionists or
held leading aud important positions,
State or Confederate, during the war,
CantwelI, The present leader of the
Radicals in the Senate, was the first
man in North Carolina to wear the
secession cockade, and served with
great credit throughout the war;" We
might add indefinitely to the list. if
we felt so disposed, but this is quite
enough to show that the Radical cry
is nothing but sham. Whenever a
,'rConfederate Brigadier' joins in with
the Radical Ring he is all right and
becomes loyal TO a superlative degree.

THCE.-The Stark County Demo
Graf truly says: The Democratic par
ty has ever advocated and maintained
that faithful and implicit oi,c,liei ce to
the Constitution of the United States
was the only safety and security for
the Union and tile people. The whole
history of the party while i'm power
vin,iicatcs their position and shows il
to have been the only political oIgani-
Za.iOn that ever managed the affairs of
the General Government successfully
and economically, and in accordance
with the principles of justice and the
Constitution. History demonstrates
the truth of this and the record of the
party now in power shows a total dis
regard of every principle of good gov
ernment, and 10y its biackness and dis
asters entailed on the country, causes
Democratic Administrations to shine
with greater splendor.

A dispatch TO the Cleveland Leader
of Saturday last from Young sto wn
gives the following particulars Of a
horrible crime committed near that
city, on Friday morning: e
A horrible rape and murder was
committed on the body of young
girl by the name OF Elizabeth Grum-
backer, near the city, this forenoon.
The rumor reached this city about
noon, and Immediately proceeded TO
the scene OF the tragedy. and found
that it occurred near what is known
as Loveland Hill. near Hazeliine, in
dense thicket at the side of the public
road leading from this city 10 Poland.
About three rods from the road lay
the body OF the girl, not yet cold, the
veil that when last seen was tied
around her ears, was wrapped twice
a. and her neck and tied at the back,
thus strangling her to death. Her
tongue protruded from her mouth.
She was quite good looking with a
quite well developed form for one of
her age. Short, brown hair clustered
in ringlets around her head.
She was discovered by huckster
by the name Of Richard Stevens, who
was coming to this city, and stopped
10 cut a whip in the thicket. lie was
so scared that he did not go mcar the
body but went and gave the alarm.
She was going Tor her clothes TO a
neighbors where she had been work
ing, and when lastseen was but few
rods from the scene of the tragedy.
She was followed by man with sandy
hair, about five feet high, wearing Il
cap, and who had on brown overalls,
and as some of the same colOrcd hair
was found OH her person, and from the
actions of the individual who was af
forwards seen near the scene of the
tragedy, it is almost certain that he
committed the deed. lie was last seen
in Poland about Ii a. M, and iium-
ber of persons recognized him.
Quite a large crowd had gathered
at The place and judging from their
attitude he would no doubt have been
summarily disposed of if the crowd
could have got possession OF him. He
was seen by number OF persons
and begged Il breakfast not far from
the scene of the tragedy. H
The inquest is now being held by
Judge Mckee, acting coroner. The
doctor says the body was outraged.
LATER.-The person above describ-
ed has since been captured 10y Lieu
tenant Of Police Arnold, near the CEN
ter of Boardman. He gives his name
as Charles Sterling. 4aH

the common school fund is TO be APP

erable from the principle inyolved in

will not result immediately, but ere
long. Let it be borne in mind that
the sectarianism OF each of the church
es resides in the chapters of Scripture
aud that each denomination l.as its fa--
vorite sectarian chapters-a fact that
all must know who have heard doc
