COLUMBUS:
tiUNDAV MORNING, OCT 8, 1866
Reading Mattor on Evory Pago.
Be Candid.
Men who write for the prone and thus
throw out their thought* and opinion*
broadcast before the world must eipeot
criticism They must expect more: mis
representation, forced cotiHirut'lions, and
personal abuee i* sure to follow. If *
writer be original in conception and clear
and forcible hi expression, he will neons
ttarily come in collision with Home old and
settled prejudice. All now projects, new
invention*, new *y*Leuj*, new theories,
and original idea* must pais the ordeal
of ciitioism To avoid ortlicism and the
rough angle* of popular prejudioe, is to
avoid saying anything original ; and to
write without originality or precision,
would ,be as speaking without audience,
for nobody read* but for mstruolion or
amusement.
Men of talent aie not unfrsijuently
intimidated by what they conoeive to be
public seniimeui, or rather popular prt j
udice. They are oonstauily dodgiug, or
hailing, or lallering, or deviating from
their liue of ooiihcious duly, lu order lo
avoid collisi u with a popular prejudioe
They are oapable of ihinktug, aud do
ihink are oapable of firming intelligent
opinions of their own, and do form buoh
opinions; but when occasion arises
for giving publioity to their thoughts and
opinions, they temporize, equivocate and
mystify through fear of provokiug con
troversy. They have a certain kind and
degree of mental vigor and independence,
but these are so hampered by timidity
tiiat they dare uot aesei t I heir existence.
True merit is never found without true
and unaffected modesty; but modesty
does not demand oonformity to prejudioe
and erior, or tbo compromise of earnest
and houest convictions. In all popular
forms of government, (like our own,
nothing is orthodox in politics wbioh has
not met ibe lest of disputation aud pass
ed within the pale of Publio .Sentiment.
New ideaß ami new theories are necessa
rily betorodex until they have successful
ly combatted and overcome old aud ad
verse theories. The demagogue under
stands Ibis and shapes his bark for the
popular current; the true statesman auJ
philanthropist acts no less understanding
ly when be boldly attack* popular error
aud sol * criticism at open defiance, in the
ooneoious rectitude of hi* own course.
We should learn to respect that modest
candor which neither seeks to provoke
nor to avoid controversy upon important
questions of public policy. Men were
made to ditl’cr in opinion at they were
made to differ in personal appearance or
in stature , but they were not predestina
ted to antipathies growing out of these
differences. They may agree to disagree,
and thus give evidence of a kindly dispo
sition and of high mental culture ; for
none but a dolt aud stupid imitator, oon
soious of his weakness, and therefore
blind to reason, will go into tantrums be
cause you cross his beaten track with a
new thought or anew theory.
A Sausailou Story SpallaU.
There is a statement going the rounds,
copied from a letter in the Cincinnatti
Commercial, that the wife es Ex Senator
Richardson, of.lllinois, immediately after
tho fall eleotions in 1862, went to Jackson,
Mississippi, had several interviews with
Generals Prioe and J. E. Johnston, and
made to them extremely favorable pro
positions from the Copperheads of the
Northwest to the Confederacy. These
propositions etubrsoed the restoration of
the States as they were in 1860, and if
this was not aeoepted, the West and
North West would unite with the South
and make Mr. Davis President of the new
Confederacy. Mr. Davis thought the
scheme visionary, and Mrs. R. returned
home disgusted.
Ex-Senator Richardson has authorized
the Quincy (111.) Herald to deny the whole
statement. Mrs. K., who has been dead
over eighteen mouths, was never in Mis
sissippi or Riahmond in her life, she was
at home in Quincy, Illinois, when the
transaction is said to have ocoured, and
the whole story, concocted for political
purposes, is false from beginning to end.
Prastrlcnt .l»liw»on Snilatacd by the
Supidna Court.
Judge Nelson, of ths Supreme Court, in
tho oase of “ The Circassian,” olearly de
fined the theory of President Johnson,
and admitted it to be the law of the land.
Chief Justioe Chase oonourred in this
opinion. This decision was reported be
fore the surrender of the Confederate ar
mies, and uses the following language :
The capture was but the reestoration of
the ancient possession, authority and laws
of the country, the continuance and per
mauanoy of which, so far hb the right is
involved, depend not on oonquest, nor on
the success or vioissitudes of armies, but
upon the Constitution of the United States
which extended over every portion of the
Union, and is the supreme law of the
land.
The conquest of territory within the
States where the laws of the United
States have been suspended, by rea
son of armed resistance of the citizens,
is but the restoration of the ancient
possession, authority and laws of the
country; the continuance and perma
nence of whioh depends not upon oon
quest, but upon the Constitution of the
United States.

This will doubtless lead to an interesting

Attempts at Heavy Swindling.
One of tbe most daring attempts at
swindling that has ever ooourred in Lou
isville was discovered on Saturday morn
ning. A man representing himself as
A. M. Aourbaoh, a merchant of Mobile,
came there for the purpose of—as he
staled—purchasing SBO,OOO worth ol cloth
ing, hats, boots, &o. He paid visits to
several merchants in those lines of busi
ness, aud seleotod goods which in the
aggregate amounted to Ihe above sum.
He reported“that he bad purchased at
New Orleans a boat called the Golden
Rod, whioh had on board 1,800 barrels of
rosin, whioh bad been sold to the Ken
tucky Central railroad. The boat did not
oomo to town, and Aeurbach was suspect
ed. A detective was put on the track and
he was soon apprehended. At the dif
ferent bouses where he had purobased
goods he Made several orders from vari
ous ankles of wearing apparel to be sent
to him at the National Hotel, whioh was
done.
The following firms were victimized,

Tha lilah In Nashville.
In the local columns of one of the Nash
ville papers of the 4tb, we find the fol
lowing :
Toe Masonic Hall was densely packed
last night by an assemblage, the great
majority of whom were Irishmen. Pro
fessor Walsh’s leoture was, in the high
est degree, an eloquent harangue, and
elicited the most unbounded applause.
He descanted at considerable length on
tbe wrongs and outrages endured m the
faiberl-tncl by most of those present, and
its glorious struggles after independent
nationality. He paid a handsome aud
merited tribute to the patriot* who have
alrsady struggled for the freedom of Ire
land, ami urged his hearers, all who had
the good caube at heart, to labor on until
the day of deliverance came. We have
rarely seen more enthusiasm manifested
at a public meeting.
Sad Fata.
The San Antonio (Texas) Herald, of
tho 16:h, has the following from Aloute
rey :
We learn from a gentleman who has
just arrived in our city from Monterey,
that Maj. Gan. Parsons, late of O. S A ,
with hts entire party of friends, were re
cecily captured by Borne of ihe noted Cor
tina’s baud, and after being robbed of all
they possessed, were crueliy murdered in
cold blood tiy each of them beiug shot,
la addition to the General there were in
the party, Wm. Conroe, Wco. Blandish,
Oapt. Williams and a German servant.
They were captured near a email place
called Dhiha, on or about the loin ol Au
last. Fortunately for Capt. W., he
lingered a little in the rear to make a
horse trade, and thereby escaped the un
fortunate cud of the others.
>utl'id tire Bruk ot Teiuifc«o*ee-
From the Naanville Dispatch we learn
that fourteen suits were brought against
the Buck ot Tennessee on bank note* pur
porting to be uoten of that institution.
The warrants were served on Joshua
Elder, as the President of the Branch
Rank ot Tennessee, at. Clarksville. The
Bank, by attorney, denied that service on
Maj. Elder was legal, and the Justice of
the Peace decided against the plaintiff,
who appeared. Defendant plead in the
Circuit Court that they were not legally
summoned. The question was, whether
Joshua Elder was still President—the
suiuf being commenced about September
Ist, 1865. The jury and verdict, under
the ( barge of his Honor (Judge John A.
Campbell) sustained the plea and in favor
of tho Bank. Only one case of the four
teen was tried.
ReLIKF TOR THK SOUTHERN CoTTON
Holders. —The Secretary of the Treasury
and Commissioners of Internal Reveuue
Department, have had under considera
tion a proposition to relitsve the holders
of cottou in ihe Southern States who are
unaole to dispose of it because of their
inability to pay the Government tax upon
it. A plan has beeu adopted by which
the bona fide owners are to be allowed to
transport the ootton to Northern markets,
and to pay the Government tax from the
immediate proceeds ot any sale. It is
thought that when this plan is fully exe
cuted there will be a revival in the cotton
trade.
Tlia Ptntou Seekers.
The Washington Star says that two
oolored women and a colored man were
in attendance at the President’s to ask
pardon for their former master, a man
named Williams. Williams is, or was,
at the breaking out of the war, a wealthy
citizen of-Vugima, and at one time owned
a number of slaves. It appears from the
state meat of these colored people, that
Williams made application for pardon
some time ago, and as the application has
not been acted upon yet, they are in
Washington to intercede iu behalf of their
old master.
Growth ot'St. Louis.
Os all the cities of the great North

ER KENTUCKY lIKLEOATIoN.
Washington, Oct. 4— A New York
special says, an erroneous impression
prevails as to the effect of releasing G«n.
Bragg from further service on the Wirz
military oommissiou. It is generally
supposed that this order of the war de
partment raises a grave legal question
as to the right of the commission to pro
oecd with the trial of Wirz. The question,
however, has long been well settled, and
the withdrawal of one member, or any
number of a court, until the number is re
duoed to but three, will not vitiate the
proceedings, nor prevent the remaining
three or more from makiog up their find
ings and judgment.
General Slocum’s resignation has been
aocepted by the President.
Another Kentucky delegation is com
ing to Washington to urge General Pal
mer’s removal from the command of the

New Orleans, Oot. 3.—The Democratic
Slate Convention met, organized and
adopted a platform. It resolved emphat
ically to approve President Johnson’s
reorganization policy, and to exclude
from field politics of all religious and
sectional controversies. This govern
ment, was made and to be perpetuated for
the exclusive use aud political benefit of
the white race. It recommends the call
ing of a Convention to adopt a Constitu

Also petitions Congress for compensations
for losses sustained by the emancipation

party.
THE KENTUCKY CONTROVERSY.
Nsw York, Oct. 4.—A Washington
special has t elegraphed that the charge in
this morning’s Chronicle, that Green
Clay Smith is in favor of re-enslaving the
negroes in Kentuoky, is exceedingly ab
surd to those who know hts sentiments
and antecedents. He and his family have
Willingiy surrendered 2UO slaves, and his
opposition to Gen. Rainier springs from
Faimer’e half way manner es treating
Kentuoky affairs. Etltaer practically de
clares oil the slaves in Kentucky free, tn
defiauoe of tne State law, by granting
them passes to go where they please, but
in foot continues their enslavement by
allowing the operation of State laws en
acted in protection of slavery to be en
loroed ; in fining all persons who employ
slaves without the consent of owners, or,
in other words, Gen Palmer gives Green
Olay Smith’s slaves passes to go wnere
they please, but allows Greeu Clay South
to be prosecuted for employing slaves of
others. So in late elections Geu. Palmer
ordered civil authorities to allow no reb
els or disloyal persons te vote, but now
allows these civil officers to be prosecuted
and fined for executing his orders.
