FOR GOVERNOR,
Maj. Gen. John W. Geary-,
OF CI73IIII3FL.CND COUNTY
Death of Gen. Lewis Cass.
DETROIT, June 17. Gen. Lewis Cass
died in this city at 4 o'clock this morn
ing, aged SO years.
"JOHNSON MEN."
We are anxious to know how many
of the voters of the Union party of the
county are "Johnson men." Will his
friends give us their names by mail or
otherwise. We want to know who
have dared to think for themselves,
and who are willing to "face the
music."
Who are Traitors Now?
We publish below a specimen of
Journal & American Copperheadism.
During the war, editors and speakers
who indulged in wholesale unjust de
nunoiations of President Lincoln were
denounced, and justly too, as traitors.
But Robert McDivitt and many other
unprincipled and unscrupulous politi
cians have forgotten what was copper
headism during the rebellion, and now
take precisely the same position the
leaders of the so-called Democratic
party did then. It is no excuse for
Robert to say he believes what ho
wiites. He knows better. He knows
that there is not a word of TRUTH in
the article from the beginning to the end.
He knows that there is no one act of
President Johnson on record that
would justify the assertion of such
wholesale falsehoods. The secret of
the Journal d American's opposition to
President Johnson is in the fact that
he was a true Democrat during the
war—and is a true Democrat still—
standing fair and square upon the
platform of the great Union party that
placed him and Mr. Lincoln in nomi
nation. We give the article, disgus
ting as the falsehoods are, that our
readers may know the true character
of the Journal & American. Read the
stuff—we copy from the last week's
issue :
"My POLTCY."--no test of loyalty
with the President is the support of
what he is very vain in calling "my
policy." This policy is nothing more
than the surrender of the country to
the scoundrels who headed and con
ducted the late rebellion. "My policy"
demands that malignant traitors, with
hands red and dripping with the blood
of Union soldiers, shall be admitted to
seats in Congress—that villains of this
class shall have the positions of trust
and profit at home and in foreign
countries, and above all that no law
ful penalty for the committal of trea
son shall be visited upon any traitor.
This is "my policy," and but for the
patriotism and firmness of Congress,
this would to-day be so fully and fa
tally fastened upon the country that
Jefferson Davis would be made Presi
dent, Lee Secretary of War, and other
rebels of like ilk, be raised to the other
positions now filled by loyal men. Lot
this policy be rammed down Andy
Johnson's throat."
A. Poracr.—After six months con
tention'the majority in Congress at
last agreed upon "a policy" in the
shape of an amendment to the Constitu
tion. It is not what the extreme rad
icals wanted, but the President took a
firm position against their measures,
and the result is a more satisfactory
and reasonable policy than would have
been offered the country by Congress
bad ho been under the influence of
Stevens Sumner & Co. 'Universal
amnesty and universal suffrage" was
the platform Greeley, Forney, Stevens
& Co., were in favor of, but the Presi
dent and the people could not bo per
suaded to stand upon it. Stevens and
his worshipers die hard. They will
never forgive President Johnson for
remaining true to the principles and
platform of the party that elected him.
MIEN the President issued his proc
lamation against the Fenian raid on
Canada, Forney said he did right. Now
we see Forney is trying to - soap . the
Fenians by sympathizing with them
and finding fault with the President
for interfering with their arrangemen ts.
It is votes Forney is after, but we
think he will have a happy time con
verting the foreign vote over to his
radical notions, universal negro suff
rage, etc.,etc. We certainly would
have no bjections if the whole foreign
vote could be influenced to unite with
the Union party, but that it should be
east to carry out the peculiar notions
of the extreme radicals, we would
most respectfully protest, The change
would not pay the expenses.
Tim President is being bitterly de
nounced by the Fenians and the Radi
cals because he authorized the arrest
of all who should attempt a violation
of the neutrality law. The President
could do nothing else. Ile is required
by his i path of office to do just what ho
has done, and if he had not interferred
to prevent a violation of the law, he
would have been denounced by his
radical friends for neglect of duty. It
is not possible just now for the Presi
dent to please the soreheads.
WE wish it to be understood that wo
proscribe proeeriptionists. For twenty
years the Globe has been favored with
the Mercantile Appraiser's advertise
raent. This year we have not receiv
ed it. Robert McDivitt is the Apprai-
Ser. By whose authority does he act?
A PENNSYLVANIAN WANTED.—The
Cleveland Reread gives the following,
which we trust will reach the eye of
some friend of the departed soldier re
ferred to: "George Wilson, supposed
to'bo a resident of Pennsytvania, Was
enlisted •by Capt. Win. Kenna, of Co.
B, Bth Ohio Infantry, in Juno, 1801.
Just before the battle of Gettysburg
he gave the Captain 'a check for 860.
During that memorable engagement
Wilson was killed. The captain now
living in this city, has the check, and
saYs there is some back pay and bounty
due the soldier. Wilson once informed
a comrade, while on picket guard, that
.he was born in Pennsylvania ; that he
had been absent from home over six
years, and that his parerits did not
know anything relative to his where
abouts. Captain Kenna is desirous of
sending the check to his friends if the . f
can be found."
ENGLISII PAUPERISM.—The reports
of the Poor Law Board for England
and Wales for the month of March
show that 907,201 paupers were sup
ported in those countries at the close
of that month, and this is said to be a
very gratifying statement, being over
.five per cent. less than at the end of
the corresponding month of 1865, and
nearly eight per cent. less than the
number for the corresponding month
of 1564. This does not represent the
whole number of persons supported
during the mouth, but the number who
received aid upon the last day of the
month, and it shows that ono person
out of every twenty-three of the popu
lation is regularly supported by the
English and Welsh poor rates. A
more striking commentary upon the
labor systems of those countries can
not be found.
The reconstruction amendment to
the Constitution passed the House on
Wednesday last by a vote of 120 to
32. It passed just as it was returned
from the Senate, and as published in
our last issue. It trill now be submit
ted to the Legislatures of the States
for ratification.

FROM EUROPE.
War now Considered Inevitable.
The London Times, of the 6th inst.,
announce the abandonment of the
proposed conference. . It says :
It is with the deepest regret that wo
announce that the hopes of, settling
by a Conference the disputes which
now agitate Europe must be abandon.
ed. The French Government has tel
egraphed to our own that in conse
quence of the persistence of Austria,
in imposing conditions which would
make the. discussions nugatory,the con
ference will not be held. It would, in
deed, be a mockery to call together the
representatives of the great Powers on
terms which would necessarily involve
the immediate separation. We fear,
then, that matters stand as they_stood
three weeks since, and that- it now
rests with tle armed Powers to com
pose their disputes by negotiation be
tween themselves, or to resort to the
arbitrament of war.
This announcement by the Times
was afterward confirmed froM other
sources, and the general feeling was
that the last hope of peace had van
ished.
A Paris tolog,ram, of the sth, says
Tho French Government has sent a
note to Vienna in reference to the re
ply given by Austria to the invitation
for a Conference. The Fron...th Gov
ernment regrets that this reply must
be considered es a refusal to take part
the Conference, and, therefore, as
frustrating the efforts for the preser
vation of peace.
.England and Russia have declared
through their representatives in Paris
that, in their opinion, the reservation
made by Austria in her reply to the
invitation of the neutral Powers would
prevent the Conference from having a
useful result.
J a-The R:chmond Examiner says
the rebellion broke clown and the scat
tering among the dry bones took place.
Rebel members of- Conaress had ninny
adventures to get out of the way. Mr..
Hubert, of Texas, fell into the hands
of a squad of Federal soldiers, who had
heard him declare he was a member of
Congress at a livery stable. They
were afterwards laughed out of it by
some freinds of Hubert, who declared
ho was bogus, and only attempting to
pass himself off for a man of conse
quence. The soldiers thinking they
were sold, let him go, and he lost no
time in going. Several of tho mem
bers passed themselves as paroled soh
diets, and were transported as such
without detoction, on Government
steamers to points near their homes.
Of these wore Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Wigfall. Tho latter, in a disguise that
precluded all suspieidn, efftered freely
into conservation with the soldiers of
the guard; and in the course of the
conversation asked what they 'would
do with old Wigfall if they were to
catch him. "Oh, we would hang him,
certain," was the reply. "And you
would servo him right," replied Wig
ton. "If I stiould be with you I have
no doubt I should be pulling at the end
of the rope myself!" The double enten
dre was not suspected, and its wit was
therefore lost, but is worth producing
now.

was seven feet five inches. Mr. Rich
ardson, of Mascoutith, Illinois, raised
the hog, thought it was brought: from
Kentucky when a pig. Its color is
white and its general make and appear
ance would indicate that it was of the
Chester White breed. Mr. Richardson
sold the hog at eight cents per pound,
thus bringing the snug sum of 8139,60
for a single hog. The purchaser was

Slicakor of the House of Ropresen
tatives.
DAVID FLEMMING,
Speaker of the Senate
We prosont the law as passed by
Congress, as follows :
FACTION 21. And be it further enacted,
That, in addition to tho other lawful
penalties of the crime of desertion
from the military or naval service, all
persons who have deserted the mili
tary or naval servico of the United
States, who shall not return to said
service, .or report themselves to a pro
vost marshal within sixty days after
the proclamation hereinafter mention
ed, shall be deemed and taken to have
voluntarily reliquished and forefeited
their rights of citizenship and their
rights to become citizens ; and such de
serters shall be forever incapable of
holding any office of trust or profit tin
der the 'United States, or of exercising
any rights of citizens thereof; and all
persona who shall hereafter desert the

mation the President is requested to
notify all deserters returning within

be pardoned on condition of returning
to their regiments and companies 'or to
such other organizations as they may
be assigned to, until they shall have

their original term of enlistment.
Release of Jeff. Davis-Vagary.
=I
The Tribune of Monday says :
"It is reported from Washington that
a number of well-known gentlemen
stand ready to give bail for Jeff. Davis
in any required amonnt, but that tho
Government is disposed to release him,
if at all, upon his parole.''
Mr. Greely is ono the "well known
gentlemen" overflowing with sym
pathy for Jefferson Davis, and with
living zeal chasing up Judge Under
wood Lo offer "bail in any required
amount."
Jefferson Davis was the head and
front of a Rebellion, in the progress of
which a quarter of a million of our
eons fell, and for which the nation is
carrying a debt of over three thousand
millions of dollars. While Jefferson
Davis was in his glory at Richmond,
Union prisoners—soldiers— were dying
in Rebel prisons of "pestilence and
famine by thousands. Under the au
spices of Jefferson Davis, and with the
money of the Confederate government.,
agents were employed to introduce
contagious diseases into our cities.—
Under the same auspices, and with the
same money, Confederate agents in
Canada hatched conspiracies and raids
to rob our banks, murder our citizens,
burn our cities, and assassinate our,
President. These multiform and atro
cious crimes were approved by Jeffer
son Davis. Ile has never oven denied
his responsibility or complicity in them.
When any of the guilty agents were
arrested they produced a commission
from Jefferson Davis.
When this traitor in-chief was arrest
ed, outraged humanity demanded his
trial and punishment. But the Tribune
objected ! Mr.L-reeley was opposed
to the "death penalty." Mr. Greeley
is a philanthropist! Mr. Greeley's
sympathies warm to the man who
struck a blow at the life of the reputr
lie; who deluged our. country in blood;
who sanctioned piracy, arson, and as
sassination ! This craven, white-feath
ered spirit, from influential sources,
occasioned delay, and delays end in a
denial of justice. Jeff Davis should
have been promptly tried, convicted
and sentenced, after which, if the Pres
ident had commuted the punishment
on condition of his leaving the country
forever, we should have boon rid of a
had subject. And now, while Davis is
living upon the fat of the land in For
tress Monroe, Mr. Greeley rushes to
Washington to.offer .bail, 60 that not
even punishment of the mildest char
acter should be inflicted upon a man
whose ,head in any other country,
would have come off for any one of his
many treasons. •
It is a curious, if not an instructive
fact, iii the - history of the Rebellion,
that while Chief Justice Chase refuses
to try, and Mr. Greeley objects to the
punishment of the leading representa
tive traitor, both refuse to restore the
followers of Rebel leaders who desire
to return to their allegiance, 'to their
rights and privileges; and both per
sist, after peace has been proclaimed,
in lceeping the Union divided !
The Ne‘V York Tribune says
that. all Congress can do is to make up
an issue for the nest election. The
Tribune has already made an issue
with Congress over Jeff. DaviA..
