The political bushwhackers and PC

The political bushwhackers and pc
litical sneak thieves are waking up to
a realizing sense of the mistake they
made in putting up Ewing and Rice
to cheat Union men.
The last Waverly Watchman has
nothing to say about it's three-legged
ticket, but it just gets down ON its
hind end, mot the patent end and
throws open its throat and howls at
the Standard for opening up the rec
ord of the brevet rebel copperheads
during the war.
We intend to shut up all the howl
ing about Democratic aid to the I'm
ion cause during the Democratic re-
bellion.
Circulate the Standard among the
young men, Copperhead resolutions
and copperhead editorials Of sixteen
years ago will open their eyes.

Joseph B. Buzzell was hanged al

Joseph B. Buzzell was hanged at
Concord, n. H., on last Thursday
upon rather queer testimony, to say
the least. Buzzell had been keeping
company with a young lady, who
finally cast him off, shortly after
which the lady was murdered. Cir
cumstances pointed to Buzzell as the
murderer. He was arrested, tried and
acquitted. Shortly afterward incen-
diary fires became frequent in the
neighborhood. Two Boston detec-
tives were employed to find the guilty
parties. A boy who had been work
ing for Buzzell made confession
that he had murdered the lady al
luded to at the request of Buzzell
Both he and Buzzell were arrested
the latter was convicted, while the
former was discharged, on account of
turning States evidence.
Then the Boston detectives were az
rested, convicted OF conspiracy tC
throw railroad train from the track
and sent to the Penitentiary, after
which the boy made affidavit that the
confession was written by the de-
tectives, and he was frightened into
signing it, and that all his former tes-
timony had been perjury. In the
meantime Buzzell had been convicted
of murder, on the testimony Of this
boy. Judging from the testimony, il
is not probable that a more uncertain
case was ever brought before Judge Oh
jury. 1t begins to look as though the
time may come when it will be neces-
sary to employ honest men to detect
| the detectives.

The Democracy should endeavor by
all possible means to inveigle another
colored man into their ranks. That
one from Athens county can never
stand the pressure of the entire CAM
paign himself. Besides, if they had
two they could run two meetings at
the same time-and they could be
well attended by the ''moss-backs, y
who would come from far and near to
claim the honor of occupying a seat
on the platform, beside the colored
gentlemen.

THE Republicans are still engaged in telling
the same old story of how they liberated the
slaves, put down the rebellion and saved the
Union. Ohio State Register.
Why, bless your soul, even the
id niggers' know enough to know
that it was the Republicans who were
in rebellion to destroy the Union, and
build confederacy, the chief corner
stone of which was to be human
bondage, and it was the Democrats
who put them down, and liberated the
slaves. Of course, all these liberated
slaves, and all the other ''niggers, .
will rush to the polls and vote for
Democrats, for they, you know, gave
the ''niggers" the right to vote, by
passing the 18th amendment, over the
determined opposition of the Republi-
can party.

"a singular feature of the present campaign
is the fact that the conservative Republicans
are the stalwarts and the stalwarts are the con-
servatfves. Foster, as the Jackson Standard
says, has eaten the crow and is now the leader
of the stalwarts. Judging from his speeches,
he is "out-Heroding Herod," and must make
Garfield and Taft ashamed of their radicalism.
While among the newspapers, the Cincinnati
Commercial, hitherto representing the conserv-
ative wing of the party, has so boldly marched
to the front as the champion of extreme radi-
calism, that the Gazette, stalwart organ, finds
itself completely outdone, and has retreated to
position among the more conservative ele-
ment. You can't sometimes most always tell
what day will bring fortb."-GColumbus DEM

ciple, they can carry the State by a
majority any where between 10000
and $4,000.

THE DISTRICT COMMANDER

Who. when the first alarm of war
Came rushing from the South afar.
Said come boys, in the thickest fight
Well make the traitors own our
might?"
The District Commander.
Who was it, when the boys in front
Boldly faced the battles brunt,
And stood the storm of shot and shell,
Stayed in the rear while brave men fell =?
The District Commander.
Who eager sought the CORY field
Ready to die, but not to yield?
When cannon thundered far away,
Who longed to be first in the fray?
The District Commander.
Who, when the dauntless rebel crew
Boldly unfurled the ''Bonny Blue
And nearer to the Yankees came,
Found his fiery spirit tame?
The District Commander.
Who, at headquarters, safe in camp,
Bade the poor Missourian tramp;
Nor let him make the least delay
For fear of bayonets by the way?
The District Commander.
Who was it, when the war was DER
And rebel bullets flew no more,
/
That travelled boldly up and down
This broad land, claiming great re-
nOwn?
The District Commander.
Who was this great commander, then
This chosen leader of brave men
Who heard the sound of the roaring
fray,
But mostly heard it far away?
Ask Tom. Ewing.

WHY FOSTER STAYED AT HOME.

Democrats are still worried because
Charles Foster did not go ir,to the az
my. They say the able-bodled Demo-
Gratis all went. So a great many OF
them did. There were many thou
sands of Democrats in the army, but
they were mostly on the other side
Now we undertake to say that Foster
did a vast deal more for the Federal
Government. to which he was loyal,
than the Northern copperheads did for
the G Confederate Government, to which
they were loyal.
But we started out to tell why Eos
| ter and good many other able-bodied
! Union men remained at home. 1t was
simply because the copperheads re-
manned at home. No sooner did 1t
become apparent that the majority OF
! Eable-bodied Unionists would go into
the army, than the Northern copper
heads began the organization of their
"Knights of the Golden Circle, and
similar organizations. It was thought
that. the men generally being away
from home, these traitors could organ
ize in the North, and, by much boast
ing and considerable show OF
strength, could get up such formid-
able demonstration as would frlghten
the National Government into max
ing peace with the rebels on any
terms.
But they early found out their mis-
take. It did not take very bright
man to discover that while there were
enough able-bodied men like Hicken-
looper to thrash the traitors in front
there were enough able-bodied men
like Foster to show the traitors in the
rear that no foolishness would be toll
Grated. Copperheads will not soon
forget their waste of money in buying
revolvers they were afraid to use.-
And the presence of men like Charles
Foster was what made it waste OF
money. It is no wonder the copper
heads hate Foster

One Of the strangest cases of suicide
on record is that which occurred in
New York, the latter part of last
week. 1t is that of a man who took
small hammer in his hand, sat down
in a chair, and deliberately hammered
his own head, until the skull was frac-
tured. 1t is thought that grief over
the death of his wife led him to the
commission of the terrible deed. He
left two small children. What a
strange freak of Providence it is that
could plant in the mind Of the Father
a determination to remove from the
little children their natural protectors.

DR.. Miller told Morgan that his men
had taken a certain mare which he
had long owned, and to which his
family were much attached, and as
she was getting old, she would be Of
little service, and he would like to get
her back. Morgan told him that he
could have an order for her; and as
he was about to write the order, he
asked the doctor if he intended to vote
for Vallandigham. The doctor re-
piled that he should not vote for him.
Morgan commenced to curse him IN a
most insulting manner, and told him
that he could not get the mare, and
that he might think himself well off
that he was not shot. This conversa-
tion took place in presence of DIR.
Monahan, who will not deny it. They
compelled George W. Barlow, who
lives on the Gallipois road, three
miles from town, to hurrah for Val
landigham and Mr.. Barlow says,
that from their actions and appear
ance, he has no doubt they would have
murdered him had he refused to do so.
About ten o'clock on Friday morn
ing, the Rebels set out ON their journ-
ey, about one-third taking the road to
Berlin, and the balance going on the
Gallipolis road. At Berlin, two of
them shot at William McGhee, who
was unarmed, and nearly blind. Both
shots struck his horse, killing him in
stantly. The Rebels said they were
sorry they had killed the horse, as he
was a good one They said they had
not shot at the horse, but at Mr.. Nc
Ghee, and gave as a reason for so do
ing, that they thought his cane was a
gun.
At Berlin, they burned the Touring
mill of Rufus Hunsiger, damaging
him over five thousand dollars, and
completely running him financially
Col. Runkle with two thousand Mill
tia, from Ross county, had a little
skirmish with the Rebels at Berlin,

The gang that took the Gallipolis
road, murdered Mr.. Burris near the
residence of Esq. Hale, in Franklin
township. Bu1ris and one or two 9th
ers were coming to town, when the
Rebels met and searched them. They
took a small revolver from Burris
and then, when he was unarmed and
a prisoner, they shot him through the
heart. And this is Southern chivalry
These butternut Vallandighammers
all talked just like negroes. They
could not sound the letter r. They
were generally dressed in butternut
homespun, and looked shabby and
dirty. The examination before the
Military Committee, showed that they
stole many articles that could be OF
no possible use to them. For instance
they stole a shawl from Mrs Phoebe
Brooks, an old widow woman who
lives on the Berlin road. They stole
a silk dress from Mrs. Kinnison, who
lives between Jackson and Berlin
And the great Gen. Morgan himself
was with this party.

ocrats have great reason to be proud
of their dear Southern brethren, who
have always lived by stealing the wa
ges of the laboring man, and by steal
