That it is tho Radical Party which you
must thank for the ruin of the country
and the enormous and oppressive taxation.
By adopting tho Crittenden compromise
in 1861, secession would..pight have been
pre-, ented, and the war avorted. This
compromise would have strengthened the
hands Of the Union men Of those States
The Radical object Of the war was an ut.
ter overthrow Of the Constitution aud the
Union Of our fathers, which is all plainly
manifest now. They denounce President
johnson now, because he is crdeavoring
TO restore the Constitution and the Union.
One year ago all the leaders of the Rad.
ical party, only required the South to re.
pudiate their war debt, to abolish the or
dinnnecs Of secession, and to confirm the
abolition Of slavery, and then loyal men
from those States would be admitted to
Congress. All this the Southern States
have done, and yet the Radicals refuse to
admit their Representatives. After eight
months of blating, their Congress sub.
mitted an amendment for these States to
accept, which is to give to the negro the
right to vote. This they require Of the
Southern, but not of the Northern States
This shows their justice and sense Of right

FOUND DEAD.-On the the goth of this month
Messrs. Fields, Price and Holmes, of North Fork,
started on quartz prospecting trip to the head
of Rich Gulch, a tributary of the East Fork of
North Fork. About half mile above the mouth
of Rich Gulch is the cabin of Henry Hess, mi
who has lived in that section many years.
Price was in charge of the animal on which the
camping outfit was packed, and was obliged to
pass close to the cabin. AS he neared it he was
greeted with most offensive smell, and on ex-
amining closely discovered that the cabin was
covered with flies. He tried the door of the cab
in, which was locked, and on looking in at the
window saw the body of Hess, completely de-
composed, lying at full length on the bed. He
notified his companions of the discovery, and
word was Immediately sent to ] Justice Ritterbush,
at North Fork. He summoned jury of inquest,
who on Sunday morning proceeded to the cabin


The door was opened, when frightful sight was
presented. Hess had evidently undressed and
gone to bed, (as his clothes lay on a bench by
the bed-side) and had died in the full length DO
sition which sleeper naturally occupies, evil
IDENTIFY without struggle. The condition of the
body was such that no examination could be
made, and the jury simply returned a verdict
that the body was that of Henry Hess, and that
he died from some cause to them unknown A
grave was dug at the end of the cabin which the
bed occupied, several logs removed, from the
outside, and with the assistance of poles with
hooks attached, the bed and body were dra gged
into the grave and hastily covered.


Deceased was a native of Hesse Cassel, Prus-
sia, aged about AZ years, and it is believed died
of heart disease, from which he was known to
suffer at times. He had not been seen since the
9TH instant on which day he was at North Fork,
and labOrinO undpr cid
duced by political discussion and slight indul-
gence in drink. Hess, aside from some eccen-
trlcities, was good citizen and neighbor and
a man of much general information. Living

stands in great dread Of war with the United
States. 1t is both unwise and dangerous to
inculcate such an idea The time has never
vet been when this country was in oon-
dition to bully France, and it is in that con-
dition now less than on any previous
occasion. We have several times bullied
England, and may do it successfully again f;
but bullying France is a very different mat
ter and we do not want TO see it tried. 1t
is dangerous.


What pray, is there in the present ap-
pcaranee of this country calculated TO
frighten France, or any other first-class
power? Have we a Union, the source of
all our former strength? We look in vain
for it, because we find the exclusion of
eleven States from all participation in the
Government very thoroughly disunitcs North
and South.


The Radicals have effected diStnsiOR more
completely than secession did. And yet
with n divided household-with all this
trouble at home-with wounds which they
viii not allow to heal, they think the- are
soaring not only France, but all creation
besides. Do they realize that unless the
South is in in the Union, the victory of the
late war has brought them weakness instead
of strength?


Talk about alarming France, or even a
second-rate power, with the dread Of war
We cannot do so until we have restored
Union. And Louis Napoleon, who is better
posted in the politics, condition and pros
poets Of this country than the Radicals are,
knows the exact extent Of our weakness
He no doub; laughs heartily at the idea of
his being frightened, when really there is
nothing to be scared about.


The boot is on the other leg. 1t would
be well for this country to be alarmed, until
its locks have grown out again--until the
Union Of our fathers, in its justice, strength,
and affection, shall be restored. Then in
deed nations will dread US, bu. not now

The newspapers are full of vague hints
about recent little affair, that threatened
to end in duel, between two Congressman,
because one had kissed the wife of the other
within hearing distance of her husband. The
facts are true as stated and the occurrence
for time created some commotion in legis-
lative circles here, though it is much to be
regretted for the sake of the lady who was
made the innocent recipient of the favor
that the injured husband" and the gay Lo-
thario hadn't isense enough to keep it to
themselves. The exercise Of a very small
amount Of discreet reticence would have
prevented the details from reaching the ears
of a fourth party. 1t wouldn't be fair, even
now, to mention the name of the injured
husband, if, indeed, the kissigg of mans
wife by another than himself Of the male
sex can be said to make an injured husband
out of him-which is, to my mind, a ques-
tion open to grave discussion, and worthy of
the consideration of the special Committee
of Fifteen.

Stevens, az a more practical issue than they
have vet determined, and hope they will
speedily ask leave to report upon it. 1t is
of far more Importance to the world at large





the Central Directory, so far. Ny own
opinion is, without having received any of
the efiulgent light of the Reconstruction
Committee on the subject, that under the Sc
cond clause of the constitutional amendment,
a man has 4 perfect right to kiss another
mans wife. 1t may be said that the consti-
tutional amendment was intended only to
abolish slavery, and has nothing whatever

gentle remonstrance which must be con-
strued by sensible men in the form of an
extra inducement. Therefore, | think Mr..

liever in the second clause, and a gay Lo-

the wife Of Mr.. -, of Kentucky, under
the circumstances. / shall adhere to this
belief until the Reconstruction Committee
shall have decided that kissing another
mans wife isn't appropriate legislation

Everything else dreamed of or suggested in

not see why it should be especially excepted.

petty cares, who will treat you to a his
tory of all their little vexations, you
will soon become tired, or irritable, or
both; but no matter, you must hear all
their plans for the present and 1uturc'
whether you will or not. Sometimes,
too, from this kind of sociablc people you
will hear nothing but bits of flying gos-
sip about people you are not at all inter-
estcu in. But when Il friend enters
about your own stamp, and you cannot
speak without calling up Il response from
his mind; when your ideas and expert
ences correspond, and your heart grows
