Thc.neccssity for general Judgment
is mentioned by The Apostle in I'd Cor.'
5th Chapter aud 10th verse.


"For We must all appear before the
judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in his body
according to that he hath done, whether il
be good or bad"


The object then is that every moral
agent of the human family may be then
and there rewarded according as his life
shall have been either good or pad in this
present world.


If the present state Of existancc had
been retributive as it is probationary
there might have been less necessity for a
general Judgment then there now appears
to be. But seeing that in the wisdom OF
God it is not so; it seems to me in
dispensible that there should be general
judgment.


There are two particulars which appear
to me to render general judgment nee.
essary.


First that God may have . fair and
suitable oportunity to viudicats his owu
character Of those charges brought
against him 20 often by wicked men and
Devils.


| And secondly that as the Apostle has
expressed it, to reward every one accord.
ing to the deeds done in the body.


Now almost every body knows that
there has been and even now is great
deal of murmuring against God.
The Devil commenced this TRADE against
him in the garden Of Eden, and he has
been going about, carrying it on ever
since; and alas! for our first parents they toe
readily joined with him in this work of
rebellion; and all their postcrity have
followed on in the same course of finding
fault with the Almighty. Bus at the
Judgment seat of Christ, all this vile
slander and false accusing Of the ever
blessed Deity will be swept away by the
breath of his mouth aud tho brightness
of his coming.


God will then and there make it appear
most plainly that infinite love. and in.
finite wisdom has moved him to do all
that he has done or ever will do.


Much of this complaining against in
finite goodness has been on the false sup
position that his ways are not equal
But in that day God will make it appear
contrary: T. this. Gods enemies will
then see that all his ways have been
equal and that all his judgments have
been just, and that Notwithstanding the
great disparity apparent in the condition
Of man while in this wsrld. rome being

i-zSFor some time past we have been re-


ceiving letters from subscribers and Post


masters complaining that the LEADER


was not received. The cause of the ir-


regularity we were not able to ascertain


till last Saturday, when one Of the Post


Office clerks, on his own responsibility,
and as a matter of kindness called at our
counting room, and informed us that, by
order of Postmaster Benedict, a large
number of LEADERS were excluded from
the mails, on the ground thatthe postage
should ha paid on them In advance as
transient papers at the rate of two cents
copy, while the legal rate is about one
third Of a cent each copy, payable by the
subscriber and that they had accumu-
lated to the extent of several thousands.
Man of the subscribers are Postmasters,
to whom we send Tri-Weekly for their
services in getting up clubs.


Why Mr.. Benedict should commit
such foolish act and gross outrage
on such untenable grounds we cannot con-
ceive, unless, as il is now near New Years,
time when most Postmasters are getting
up clubs, and subscribers are renewing
their subscriptions, he hopes, by making
them impatient at not receiving their
LEADER, to induce them to transfer their
subscriptions to the Cleveland Herald, of
which paper he is editor and part pro-
prietor.


We pen this hastily and briefly, for the
purpose of informing those of our sub
scribers whose papers have failed to reach
them, of the cause of such irregularity.
Incur next issue we shall enter more
thoroughly into detail in exposing this
matter.


1t remains to be seen whether the Post
Office Department will allow the Post
master of Cleveland to prostitute his
office for the purpose of furthering pri-
vate ends.

The high-and-mighty municipal officers
in the District of Columbia are greatly
disguised at the energetic efforts of s. j.
Bowen, Esq., Postmaster at Washington,
in behalf of equal suffrage, and are now
coolly asking President johnson toremove
him, assigning no other reason for his re-
moval than his advocacy of this principle.
For the climax of cheekiness, commend
US to the city officials of Washington No
other set of men could have conceived the
impudence of approaching the President
who has declared himself in favor of
equal suffrage, and demanding from him
the removal of an energetic and faithful
officer because he is active in promoting
this very principle.

Washington cast 1000 votes against al
lowing the negro citizens the right of
suffrage. The Republicans abstained from
the polls, preferring to petition Congress
directly to voting on the subject at an
extra Judicial election. 1t is believed that
5000 adult white residents of the District
will sign petition in favor of comforting
the franchise on the colored men. The
latter have petition with 5000 names on
it. A decided majority of the men of the
District are in favor of colored suffrage.

The press of the party to which General
Cox belongs, very generally expressed the
opinion Of his Oberlin letter, that it was
wild, Missionary 'impracticable, and
that he was "a noodle for writing it. The
Oberlin letter was an elaborate and studied
production, written with the view of gaining
for himself some claim as statesman but
his own party press have generally written
that production down as wild" ''visiona-
ry, ''impracticable, and that instead of
giving him any claim to statesmansbip. rD it #
has demonstrated that he deserves to be CON
sldered "a noodle" Clearly, a man who is
held in this estimation by the press of his
own party, is not fit to be elected to the ex-
allied position OF Governor Of Ohio; even if
he we're opposed to Negro Suffrage.


On the other hand. General Morgan, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, is look

One day last week party of young folks,
male and female, in the township of Frank
lin, went to the huckleberry rock, a dis
tance Of about eight miles from this neigh
borhood. After reaching the rock the day
was spent in the usual way, by picking ber-
RES and wandering over the vast plain of
rock. Evening came, and the parties re-
turned to their homes. One young lady,
after reaching her residence and performing
her customary work about the house, re-
paired to her room to retire for the nj ght
and upon undressing herself what did she
discover nicely entwined around her waist
between her cflnoline and under garments
but snake, fully twenty inches in length.
As might be expected, on making such n
q discovery, the lady's feelings can better
be imagined than described. She gave the
alarm, when other inmates Of the house
came to the room and dispatched his snake
ship. 1t turned out to be of the spotted
adder species, which is very numerous on
the reck. The query is, how did the reptile
manage to get in that position? The only
way such can be accounted for is this: Some
time during. the day the young woman must
heve been sitting down on the rock, and the
broad skirts now worn might possibly have
covered the snake, which, in its endeavors
to escape, got between the garments, and so
worked its way up to the waist, unfelt by the
party. She states that several times du-
ring the day and evening she felt a sort of
gripIng sensation about her body, but deli
cacy IN company constrained her to bear it
rather than attempt to ascertain the cause.

Everything along the upper Potomac re-

the river are, however, frequently alarmed,
and scarcely night passes without suspicious
characters being seen prowling in the vicinity
of the lines. Several Of them have been cap.

believed to be guerillas from the Virginia side,
who had been cut off some time since by the
sudden rise in the river. Blockade running
has been almost entirely broken up, so many
having been captured in crossing the Poto-
mac, that very few are now venturous enough

Rebel cavalry generally cross up about Mud

side down to the vicinity of our forts, where
they make a sudden dash, and escape with
such plunder as they can get. Most of the
visitors from the other side are citizens of
