Facts vs. Theories.
"Give me a place to rest my lever on," says
Archimedes, -'and I will move the world." -'Give
me pure and unadulterated drugs," says Medicus,
oi tne olden time, "and I will cure disease."
In one sense, both of these learned . pundits
were the veriest charlatans They knew there
was no place to rest their lever on, either to move
the world or to cure disease. Mechanism was in
a backward state, and the medical profession was
but another name forsorcery and all the adjunct
of magie filters and charms of the 'evil eve,' Ac.
But these latter days have born unto us some
thing more than even superstition and its crew
ever dreamed of in their maddest philosophy. In
these days of practical science, what waB theory
of yesterday is fact to-day, and all the old-time
notions become as bubbles in the sun, and burst
and break with every breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and we will
find a resting place for it to move the world Let
mine ancient Medicua pant and toil no more for
the drugs he so soroly needs, for we have them at
our hand, ever leady to serve them at his beck.
Refined in the laboratory of Dr. Maggiel, the
finest materials known in the Medical profession
are obtainable by any one. His Billious, Dys
peptic, and Diarrhea Pills stand unrivalled, and
his Salve operates with magical effect upon burns,
scalds, and all sores and ulcers of the skin.
In faot we think Maggiel's Pills and salve are
the Jwonder of the century, and we are happy
in the thought that many others of our brethren
of the craft agree with us. We would earnestly
counsel that all families provide themselves with
Dr Maggiel's Preparations at once, and keep
them ready at hand, so as to use them at the most
opportune time and as occasion serves. Valley

THE FBESIDENT'S VETO.
Important Letter of Gov. Oox, of Ohio.
m Washington, Feb. 26.-1116 following
important letter was read to-night by. Gov
ernor Cox, of Ohio, to the Union represen-
lauves m congress irom that State:
Washington, Vonday, Feb. 26, 1866
General George i. Wright, Chairman of the
Union Central Committee, Columhus, O.:
-Mr Dkar Sir. On Saturday last I had
tne nonor ot an interview with the J'rcsident,
which I regarded as of sufficient interest and
importance to make it nrouer that I should
reduce to writing my remembrance of his
statements while they wereireslun my mem
ory, since he seemed to me, in a perfectly
free and unDremediated conversation, to ex
hibit, with peculiar clear ness, the processes
of his own mind in reaching some of his o-
pinions and to express them with such man
ifest candor and entire freedom from nerson-
al feeline, that I could not but think that if
he would consent to it good irujrht be done
by making Lis statements public. Accor
dingly I again waited upon him this morn
ing, to make known what I had done, to ask
his verification of the truth of my report, and
his consent to make the same known to the
country. Although, he was perfectly una
ware of my purpose to reduce his remarks
to writing, and I myself had no such inten
tion when I first called ujon him, he most
frankly gave his consent, and assented to the
accuracy of my report, which ia as follows :
He said he had no thoughts which he was
not willing to avow; that his policy had sim
plyirnfed at the earliest noflsible restoration
ot peace on the basis oi lovalfv. JNo Con
gressional policy had ever been adopted, and
mereiore, wiieu ue enterea UDon me duties
f his office, he was obliged to adopt one of
ius own. lie nau, in some senses, inherited
that of Jlr. Lincoln, with which he thought
he agreed, and that it was substantially the
one which he had carried out. Congress had
no just groundsof comwlairJt that he had done
so, for they had not seen fit to declare their
views, or adopt any measures embodying
what could be called a policy of restoration.
He was. satisfied that no lone continuance
of military government could be tolerated;
that the whole country would properly de
mand the restoration of a truly civil govei n
mert ; and not to give it to the lately ltebel
lious States, would be an admission of the
failure of the Administration, and of the
party which had carried though the war, to
prove themselves equal to the exigency, wno
that the work of destruction wa? over, and
that of rebuilding had begun. Military Gov
ernment alone would not pacify the South.
At the end of a long period of such govern
ment we should be no nearer, and probably
not so near, the end than now, and would
have the same work to do. Henc e there is
a real necessity of adopting a policy which
shall restore the civil Government fully just
as soon as the rebellion shall be thoroughly
ended, and conditions accented by the South
which were to be regarded as absolutely ne
cessary to the peace of the country. One
central idea had controlled him in the whole
matter, and this was that the proper system
ot pacification should be one which tended
everywhere to stimulate the loyalty of the
Deople of tho South themselves, and make
it the spring of loyal conduct by proper leg
islation rather than to impose upon them
laws and conditions by direct external force.
Thus in the case of the Freedmen's Bu
reau, he was not against the idea of the Bu
reau in toto. for he had used it, and was still
jisingit. It might continue for a period of
ore than a year yet. He had contempla
ted that either by proclamation ot his own,
or by some action of Congress, as a condi
tion of neae. the technical end of the re
bellion would be declared at some period,
perhaps not very remote, and as he under
stood the present law, the Bureau might con
tinue a vear from that time. Meanwhile,he
could say to the South, "It depends upon
yourselves to say whether the Bureau shall be
discontinued at an earlier day, for I will put
an end to it just as soon as you by proper
action for the protection of the freedmen
make it necessary. Ihus, said ne,;tne
hope of getting rid of the institution stimu
lates them to do what is right, whilst they
are not discouraeed by the idea that there b
no hope of an end to what they regard as a
sort of military Government. . If, on the
other hand, the Bureau yere to b made a
ermanent thing by legislation, which, on its
ace appears to be part of the fixed law of
the land," all the objections he had urged in
his messageappeared in lull torce to it, and
instead of encouraging the South to - loyalty
you tend to drive them to desperation, and
make their hatred to the Government invet
erate. ? The same principal of . stimulating
loyalty was shown in the manner in which he
held martial law over them. ; Whenever
they should show so peaceful and law-abiding
a condition of their communitythat
martial law was not needed, it should be re
moved. Their own conduct would tnua ae
mr. and the debt and inter
est of all the best people be increased to put
down the disturbances and outbreaks, to pro
tect Union men and obey the laws, because
by so doing they would hasten the withdrawl
of the direct interference' of the military arm
in their affairs.
In precisely the same way and under the
influence of the same idea, he had acted in
regard to civil affairs generally in that sec
tion, regarding it as necessary and proper to
impose upon the rebellious States conditions
which would guarantee the safety of the
conptry; and regarding the then existing
affairs of the local governments as hnrinr
disqualified themselves, by. their treason,
for continuance in power, he deposed them,
and established Provisional Governments.
Then he asked himself what conditions
ought to be demanded of them, and how
their disposition to accept them in good
faith might be stimulated. The conditions,
viz : The amendment of State Constitu
tions, excluding slavery ; the acceptance of
the same amendment to the United States
Constitution ; the repudiation of the rebel
debt, and the admission of the freedmen to
various rights, &c, everybody is familiar
with. To stimulate them to accepC these
conditions, being such as, in his best judg
ment, and in" theabsence of any Congres
sional plan, he thought the nearest right of
any he could frame,he urged that on their
acceptance, with evidence of good faith, he
would permit them to reorganize their State
Governments, elect Legislatures, &c. , and
so far as the Executive acts could do so,
would restore them to their position in the
Union of States. They had so far accepted
his conditions, that he did not regard the
experiment as a failure, but a success: Tie
had accordingly reorganized the Post Office
Department everywhere among them, hadj
reopened trade and removed restrictions
thereon through the Treasury Department,
and in like manner,' in all the Executive
Departments, reorganized them as States
in the Union, only - keeping enough of a
military hold to protect the freedmen, as he
had before stated, and induce them to do
something more thorough in that direction.
Now but one thing remained in which
those States did not exercise the full rights
of States, and that is representation in Con
gress. - In this he had advised that the same
principle of stimulating loyalty be applied
as in the other respects which he had named
He would admit only such representatives
as were in tact loyal men, giving satistacto
ry evidence ot tms. - w henever a state or
District sent a loyal man, ' properly elected
and oualified. he would think it right to ad
mit him the same as from any other. State,
and he would admit none but such loyal
men, so that other States or districts might
be thus induced to elect and send similar
men. When they had all done this, their
representation would be full, and the work
would be done. Such was his plan.
He did not ask to be the judee of elec
tions and qualifications of members of Con
gress, or or their loyalty. . UoncTess was its
own judge, and he had no dream of inter
fering with its constitutional rights ;' but he
felt like urging upon the country, that this
mode of finishing the work so nearly com-
fdeted in other respects, was the only feasi
)le one which had been presented, and that
it was impossible to ignore the fact that the
States were exerclsins theii rights and eniov-
ing their privileges within the Union ; were,
in short, restored in all other respects, and
that it is too late to question the fundamen
tal right of representation.
1 then remarked to him that I had heard
it suggested that legislation could properly
be made bv Congress, purely civil in its
character, providing for the protection of the
treedmen by United States Uourts ot( inte
rior jurisdiction, in all cases where therStates
did not do so themselves. He replied that
such an idea would run exactly parallel to
his plan, but he had not thought it yet time
to fix his own ideas of the precise mode of
accomplishing this end, because we had a
margin ot time lasting till . alter . the next
session of Congress, during which the Freed
men s Lsureau would continue in operation :
and if before that time the Southern States
should reorganize the necessity of passing a
proper svstem oi protection lor the ireed
men, nothins further on our part would ne-
cessary. it they did do wnac tney . ougnc,
there would then be time enough to elabor
ate a plan. i '
He then referred briefly, to the fact, that
men who have been disloyal were rejoicing
over his Aeto message, saying - that it these
men in coed iaith adopted the views ot poli
cy he had himself held and acted upon, and
which he had so Ireely elaborated in his an
nual message and explained to me, the coun
try surely could have no cause for sorrow in
that If disloyal men and rebels everywhere,
North and South, should cordially give in
their adherence to the-conditions of restora
tion he had uniformly insisted upon, he
thought that was precisely the kind of paci
fication loyal men everywhere should rejoice
in. Ihe more they were committed to such
a course the better he would ! like it, ! for if
thev were not sincere they would at least
diminish their power of : dangerous opposi
tion in future. : llis whole heart was wuu
the body of true men who had carried the
country through the war, and he earnestly
desired to maintain a cordial and periecr. un
derstanding with them. f't ' :';'
This sentiment and purpose jie regaraea
as entirely consistent with determined , op
position to the obstructive policy ot tuose
pvtrftmists. who. as he believed, would keep
the country in chaos till absolute ruin might
come upon us. - . y. ' t,- '; , -
Such, my dear sir, is the conversational
statement of the President on this impor
tant -matter, and if you could meet his
straightforward, honest look, and hear the
hearty tones of his . voice, as I did, i I am
well assured that you would believe, ! with
me, that although he may not receive per
sonal attacks with the . equanimity, and for
bearance Mr. Lincoln used to show, there is
no need to fear that Andrew Johnson is not
hearty and sincere in his adhesion to the
principles upon which he was elected.
Very truly, yours, J- D. Cox.
: DEM0CEACY AT IT IS." r -!
The little State of Delawrre bas for sev
eral years past been governed by a Demo
cratic Legislature. They hold the power
still During all the trying years of the
war against the rebellion, and even when
their own State was threatened with inva
sion, this Democratic bodv refused to give a
dollar or a man to defend the flag and tho
country ; rcl used, even, to pay their State's
quota, of a few hundred dollars, to encloso
the graves of her sleeping sons who fought
and fell atGettysburg; refused to pass a vote
of thanks to her battle worn veterans who
survived the terrible conflicts of the war I
Thousands of noble Delawareaus, howev
er, offered themselves to the Government
and bore a noble and heroic part in the
struggle tor national life and freedom. ,
The General Government paid some of
the war debts of Delaware, which her Dem
ocratic Legislature would not pay; and now
asks that this money be reimbursed as it has
been in the case of other States.. Delaware
Democrats have refused thus far, but as
the powers that be" propose to take im
mediate measures to collect what is due
them, "noens, volenx," what do these Dem
ocrats propose todol They have actually
voted to take - just so much of the school
money away from the school commissioners
as will pay this war debt of the State!
Friends ot the children of popular educa
tion, think of it. Making the children pay
the debts ot the State and that at the ex
peuse of the school fund I This is Demoo
racy. -
Quite In keening with this, is the recent
enactment of this same body disqualifying
ministers of the gospel from holdiug any
office. The only officeheld by ministers iu
the State, so far as we are able to learn, was
that laborious, responsible, but unpaid posi
tion of the members of the Board of Pub
lic Education. But good authority had
said that "the loyal ministers of tho gospel
had saved Delaware to the Union." ,Thia
Democratic Legislature believed it and re
warded them accordingly. This pure body
of politicians are now at work on a 1A11 to
legalize lotteries in the State. . ., . . ;-,
.. Does this party expect ever again to con
trol the great interest of our State and the
Nation r The days of such corruption and
jugglery, ended with the administration of

tion's awful oath, that " those days shall
never return. - ' .-

Missouri Vineyards. Professor Wa
terhouse, of St. Louis, in a series of arti
cles demonstrating the advantages of Mis
souri as a home for emigrants, considers in
cidentally its adaptability for grape culture.
He states that in Southern, Missouri there
are fifteeu millions of acres of laud, eleva
ted lrom 1,000 to 1,500 foot above, the sea,
and with a dry and light soil, abounding in
lime, soda, potash, magnesia and phospho
ric acid, the chief elements entering into
the structure of the grape vine. The com
position of the soil is very much like that
of the vine lands of Germany and France,
the surface" being in many places terraced,
as if nature had intended it for the vine
dresser. On these broad acres a population
ot two millions can raise a thousand millions
of gallons of wine, and the Professor feels
confident that Missouri is destined to be
'the vineyard of America." Three hun
dred and fifty dollars an acre will prcparo
land for grape culture in Missouri, and one
hundred dollars an acre spent annually will
cultivate it. Two hundred and fifty gallons
of wine can bo produced from an acre,'
which at two dollars a gallon will yield five
hundred dollars. . . - . i
The Ohio State Flags. No less than
two hundred and sixteen State flags were
presented to Ohio volunteers previous. to
their marchirg to the front. Of this num
ber all will be returned except four lo&t in
battle. Many of them are . mere shreds;
tattered and torn into ribbons, and have but
few fragments left.. When all the regiments
have returned these colors will be presented
to the State with appropriate"' ceremonies..
Worn out in active service, riddled iu ba'
tie, and stained and torn at the front, fs.
of them can , be - recocTiized as flacs : but-
each one tells a history of heroism and de
votion on the part of their brave defenders
toward the Union. si :
