The Beltzhoover letter is fair specimen
of the spirit of the Democratic Congress
men who are sent to Washington to repre-
sent Northern Democratic constituencies.
They ever were the tools of the champions
of the Lost Cause-that is, the cause of
slavery, &c and VIXEN Mr.. Beltzhoover said
that he could do nothing for the cause OF
| the pensioning of Northern soldiers, be
cause a rebel was at the head of the Pen
sion Committee, and because the Demo-
cratic House was in no mood to grant pen
sions, he made a most humiliating confess
sion. Why do people OF the North send
such spiritless men as Beltzhoover to Con-

In nine cases in ten when a man is heard
denouncing the community in which he
lives as an old fogy community, he himself
will be found to be the fogy. He is gen.
orally one of the smallest taxpayers,
and consequently one of the smallest con-
tributors to the keeping up of the affairs
in the community where he lives. He does
scarcely anything towards paying for the
schools; he pays. scarcely anything toward
keeping up the public buildings; he pays
scarcely anything or nothing to the poor
tax fund he pays scarcely anything or
nothing toward keeping VI. the roads. Keep
your eye On such people.

gun to get rid Of dogs that had been break
ing the corn down in chasing rabbits. A
potato patch adjoined the corn-feld, and,
to Stouffer's amazement, he there discoy-
cred two men raising potatoes. When he
walked towards them they ran. He called
on ther, to stop, but they ran on, into the
corn. He discharged the gun at them, but
he did not know that he had killed one OF
the party till on Monday morning, when he
again went to the corn-ficld, and while pass
ing over the ground where the thieves ran
he came across the dead body of a man
named Robert Allison. He went to JUS
tice and surrendered himself. The fellow.
thief of Allison came forward and testified
to being with the deceased on thieV'
ing excursion in Stouffer's field. The tria
at court came off last week. The jury ac
: Quilted Stoffer of the charge of murder, late

with applause.
Breathitt county, Kentucky, is the classic
