Tfe* Cl*«»*n Centeat. Th* radical l*adara are evidently fearful In regard I* tb* un*arthlng of the rascalities whieh hat* enabled them to carry the election* ti this county for the past ten years. Th* Journal, !■ noticing th* subject, marks la reference thereto, " if every thing alleged Is true, It furnishes no decent pretext for a contest.” In other words, no matter by what fr^udulet* agencies the Itepubllcan wire Vr<?rk*n have been enabled to over-ride the popular will In the elections, there is no decent pretext for contesting or setting them aside. Why are the Journal, and the radical leaders so squeamish and nervous over the proposed contest of the election in this county, if it was fairly and honorably conducted by the radical party? If honesty baa eharacterl/^d the elections as far as the Itepubllcan management of them is concerned, wo should think they would invlte~and court investigation, instead of shunning Hand throwing obstacles In the way of Investigating them. An honest man and an honest party will never fear the daylight. The Journal profosses that it is unable to sea any motive In prosecuting a contest when the Itepubllcan ticket was elected by an apparent large and decided majority. That Is the very question at issue in the contest. The object Is to ventilate, as far as possible, the frauds by which that majority was attained, ami the rascality by which elections in this county, and in many other counties in tne State, have been carried for several years past by the party in power. The professed object In passing the registry law at the last session of the l.ogtslnture was to secure fair and free eleclions. This Is ail tho Democracy asked, and although they thought the law not of a character to »tt»io ttiat end, yet innf wrro anvioua to carry out its provisions In the spirit and for the purpose it was avowedly enacted. Not so with tho radical leaders. They did not want an honest election, a fair expression of tho popular will at tho bailot box, for If a full and honest vote of tho electors was bad, the days of radicalism would be numbered. This Is what is the in liter, and the same chicanery which prowilled a fair and free vote at the last election is now bt ing employed to defeat an tnvestl>'7fTon of tho rascalities practiced upon the i.allot box in this county. No doubt every oil 'rt will bo made to prevent the proposed examination of tho conduct of the late county election, and this fact will be convincing evidence of Itself that tho Republican wire workers fear an exposition of their rascalllics.
Ilcforc mid After I'.lectlon. Wo arc not much given to believing anything we hear from those sources, but we did suppose that tho parties conducting the canvass In Ohio and Indiana, on the Democratic side, knew what tbeir party proposed to do In case they succeeded in the elections.—JourVos, the parties conducting the canvass In Ohio and Indiana against tho radical party, know what thrtr party proposed to do in ease they succeeded inThe elections, and had the power to regulate tho policy of the Government. They proposed in such a contingency to reduce tho ordinary expenditures of the Government to tho lowest possible standard, as near as could be to what they were before the Republican party was placed in power; to stop the plundering of the treasury which has characterized the administration of the (iovernment while it has been under Republican or radical rule; to substitute greenbacks far tho national bank currency, thus saving tho payment of eighteen millions of dollars In gold annually; tho investment of ail tho surplus funds in tho national treasury In Interest paying bonds, thereby diminishing taxation to the amount of tho Interest upon them; the amendment of tho present thieving tart if and revenue systems, which rob the laboring men to enrich the monopolists and capitalists, and by retrenchment, economy and stability In the management of public affairs to restore prosperity to tho nation and progress in all the elements of power and wealth. Tf the radical leaders in Congress would get out of the way and let the Government bo administered upon Democratic principles and policy, as It was for sixty years previous to tho success of the Republican party In WhO, a now era would dawn upon tho coumtry. and tho wilderness of radical misrule would be made to blossom as the rose.

Tn* Pttblic Debt.—The Philadelphia Jffe •ays: tfhetror b* the obligation of the Goveminent aa regard* th* dve-twenty bond*, this can not be increased by the opinion of any secretary of the treasury, nor can the chances of their payment In gold be Improved by any resolution which American or European holders of the bonds may maaa-uvre through Congross. If a /air construction of the law creating these bonde does not require their payment In gold, the only effect of a measure jjfoinf/ beyond the law creatin'; them, must be to add to the elements out of which a repudiating party may be formed. The holders of the seven-thirty loan who have received payment tn paper of obligations paid for in gold, will scarcely be willing that payment shall be made fn gold of a loan received by the Government in paper at an average discount (as compared with gold) of forty per cent., unless a fair Interpretation of the contract requires It. Nor can It be expected that the many holders of just claims against tho Government, now put aside la consequence of the inability of tho Government, to meet them, will willingly see the prospect of their being met impaired by a payment of more than it /airly due to others. As little we think will the heavily burthened tax payers of the country be willing that their terrible burthens In every shape and form, •hall be augmented, to add to the large accumulations of speculators and money changers.

Anortter Mystery—Singular conduct and STORY ok a Woman.—For the past two days a woman has been wandering around upon tho sand bar in the river just below the bend, without any visible means of subsistence, and in a state of apparent derangettflnt. Yesterday she was seen in a perfectly nude state, crouched down upon the wet and cold sand near the water’s edge, and afterward burrowing a hole into the sand and thrusting
her head into it.
t<omo gentlemen of this city, who were fishing near the bar, went over to this singularly behaved woman, and urged her to put on her clothes, which wore spread out upon the sand. She did so. but utterly refused to speak a single word to either of them, or to give them any explanation of how she got upon tho bar,
or her reason far being there.
During tho afternoon a gentleman who had been waiehing her singular movements got into a skilf and rowed over to the bar. Alter long persuasion he finally got her to answer his questions as to what she was doing on the bar. She stated that she bad been employed upon a coal boat as cook, and that one of the men on the boat had been criminally intimate with her; that they had been living together on an old coal barge, and a few nights ago he threw her overboard, and tried to drown her. At tho place where she was thrown into the river, the water was shallow, and she waded under tho stern of the boat and stood there until her would be murderer, supposing her drowned, left the boat and proceeded In the direction of Louisville. Sb* then Waded ashore, and next day took refuge on the bar. The woman U undoubtedly insane, and our informant states that he does not know what credence to placo in her story. Her neck, breasts and arms, however, bore the marks of a boating and choking. Tho poor creature

—The Philadelphia Age says “the Democratic party in tbatfclty can not be too highly commended for the manner la which they fought the battle just ended.

Augusta, Georgia, September 28.1867. In its anxiety as to hte political status, tbe North seems to be overlooking the moral and physical condition of tbe freedasen. These, to speak plainly, are lamentable enough, and I have some sad facts upon the subject. First and foremost, then, the immorality of the colored population throughout the South is something appalling. Under the old slavery regime—when mairlage wae encouraged, and tbe obligation to tbe nuptial tie to a certain extent enforced—there existed asort of proximate chastity among this population, and its Increase was rapid. Births were frequent, and chief among tbe earee of a mistress of a plantation was a jealous attention to the physical
welfare of tbe negro children.
Tbia care was, of course, for (he most part, based upon the monetary valu* of Its recipients, but such as It was, it wss sufficient to make the Infantile negro mortality one per cent, less than that of th* whites. With emancipation, however, this ground of care haa been swept away, and the consequence is, ss stated, a very lamentable condition of concubinage and sterility. So for from there being r inducement now to marriage among tbe
blacks, every motive lends strongly the other way. On seeking employment, almost the first
y the planter
is, “Are you a clean hand ?” that is, unencum-
qoestion put to the freedmsn
bered by' wife or children- If th* answer be m the negstive, the chances am very greatly
against poor Coffee's obtaining a place, and a knowledge of this fort nrt only deters Us*
single men from marrying, but even leads those already marrisd to desert their wives and faosines, and then hire themeelvea out In

WUh regard to their moral welfare it would bo well for Me benevolent *f our people, who have contributed so handsomely to the education and religious improvement of the treedmen, to Institute some Inquiries as to the use made of the means so liberally bestowed. So tar aa my observation goes, the good of the freed men is made a very secondary consideration to Me political advancement of those who are supposed to have their interests in charge. Tho lady teachers, it U proper to say, appear to work faithfully, and it Is proper to add that some of tbe prejudices again»t them in the minds of Me whites is wearing away. Other instrumentalities need attention, however,for if an annuity of one hundred thousand dollars to the Indians dwindles down, as is said, into a donation of one-tenth that sum and a few rotten blankets, the immense means poured out for tbe poor treedmen are far too in qiiently diverted, long ere they reach them, into the channels of private Inten d or party good.
Tromlatcd for the Cincinnati Commercial frsm the Courier des Etuia Unis. Maximilian In his Dressing Gown. Since tho cruel execution of tjueretaro, a great many portraits, representing the sovereign of Mexico, have been (ffered to the public. But, however life-like and reliable these photographic reproductions may be, they are unable to render that harmony which imparts to the whole f&ce a special character and charm. No marble, no painting, no sketch has been able to reproduce satisfactorily the expression of his sweet and sympathetic countenance, which, in its graceful, oblong form, was impressed with truly royal distinction. No camera was able to reproduce the charming glance of those eyes so prematurely cldsed, and their sparkling lire in moments of joy and pleasure. Maximilian possessed a tail, noble form, which excuses the dimension of his feet, which were very long. His gait was slow and majestic, without seeming affected, and in walking he threw his legs to tho right and left, as sailors are in the habit of doing. This larity in his gait is <•»»*>*. sprained by the (no rrlnce was a sailor for many years. The Emperor was absolutely bald. He had kept only some hair on his temples and behind bis head. His barber parted them for him every day by aline drawn in the middle; they were then brushed forward and pasted with omatum to the scalp, in order to conceal the ’rince’s baldness. On the other hand, his long and dense beard flowed down on his breast where it divided into two silky tufts, which Maximilian, on conversing with anybody, was in the habit of seizing wiM his band. Tho Emperor used this gesture always, and drew likewise bis moustache to the ends of the longer hair through the rings into which he formed his lingers. A short time previous to his downfall, Maximilian bad expressed the intention of having his beard shaved off, with the exception of bis moustache and goatee. He said that his beard was bv no means numismatic, and be asserted that be looked bad on coin and medals. But he had deferred his project to a later time, because be was told that a great many coins had been coined with his effigy, and that this modification would necessitate some exceedingly expensive changes. It is certain that Mis change would not have added to the handsome appearance of his face, for his beard, which he had condemned, concealed somewhat his mouth, which was thick and badly shaped. Ilis always half opened lips showed yellow and irregular teeth. It is will known that Maximilian had been in feeble healih for a long time past, owing to a most injudicious diet. The excessive indulgence in white wine and indigestible dishes had greatly weakened his stomach, and brought about that chronic dysentery, with whiea he was affected to the last hour of bis
life.
Tho Emperor drank n great deal of champagne at bis meals, and in the day time, while working in his cabinet, he drank not less than twenty glasses of Spanish wine, in which he
dipped biscuits.

following particulars transpired: Don ffisnmn Duran, xnative of Spain, married in Catalonia manr years ago, a WeaiMy lady.called Donna Isabel Romero, for whom he professed the
most tender affection.
The latter dying after the emigration of Me couple to New Orleans, Duran by some means obtained Me skull and some other bones of bis deceased wife, which he ever after kept with the greatest car*, wrapped up in a piece of black Silk. Seme yean after tbe death of his first wife, Doran married a second—a person much younger than himself. By this wife he had s daughter, on whom he fondly doted; but the latter dying about 1838, when only in her seventh year, Duran was plunged in the greatest grief, and determined not to part with bis daugbter's body, had it secretly embalmed and put into a box with the remains of his fenner wife; but, in order not to appear as opposing the laws and established customs, he went to the expense of a moc k interment. This loss exercised so strong an impression on his mind that he seemed indifferent to all about him. and bis affairs began rapidly to dodtine. His keenly sensitive mind, however, was destined to feel another, and, from attendant circumstances, still more painful bereavemenfjn the elopement of his wife.which event almost unseated bis judgment. Ruin made such rapid strides in the fortunes of this hapless man, that, in the coarse of a short time, the once wealthy propnetor w«* reduced Vb the condition of a common beggar. But be bad atiii ooe treasure left: the humMe suppliant wandering from doer to »|nor. dependant upon public chanty for support. l> »1 yet in his possession an ignored and priceless gem, which shared with him tits fortune—the box containing the bones of bis wife and child. He Mas lived a series cf years, and whenever it became necessary to shift his place of reslSeecp, the box containing the precious relics was ever his fir-tt care, and for which he craved a shelter under th» arte of important papers. JBi» residence was rt tfaa imn— of a widow, who had known him in better times. Here be lived till sickness overtook him, when tbe scanty means of his hospitable landlady not allowing her to administer to his wants, he removed to the public hospital, where he died about a year and a half since. This lady, who appears m some degree to have Imbibed his prejudices, cut of respect to his memory, would not for a long time allow the relics so highly prized be removed; but Me earnest solicitations other acquaintances, who were already, as well as herself, apprised of the contents of the box, induced her rt last to consent. Proper steps
having been consequently taken to insure their admission to the public cemetery, an old
man was employed for tbe purpose of conveying Mem to tbe hearse depot, who, as we have seen, sunk under his burden to rise no more.
The age for any fanciful accessory to the toilette Is not of long duration with French womeu; even gilt ornaments are alreadv beginning to be superseded by ivory ones. * Not only are ivoiy arafes worn on mantles, but

the human frame needs tonic?." The prince was mistaken, and the proof of it was that, owing to bis i»< reasing ill health, he was obliged to consult Dr. Ounot, who restored him by regulating bis diet, and forbidding him to drink anything but Bordeaux
wines.
Treviousto the intervention of this learned practitioner, Maximilian had two cooks, wao prepared him highly spiced foed, after the German fashion. Venison appeared in a thousand different ways on his table, and at dessert the Emperor always partook of cheese, after which he drank beer, which he got from Austria, at great expense. Add to it that he smoked, from morning tiil evening, Vienna cigars, which he preferred to any others. It is even said, in regard to these cigars, that his suite made wry faces when the Emperor was good natured enough to present bis cigar case to his aides de camp and the other officers attached to bis person. No one ventured to refuse, and all were compelled, by the requirements of good breeding, to light this roll of cabbage leaves, tbe taste of which
was unpleasant and nauseating. Some of them finally had “th
the con rage of
their opinion.” One of these courageous men, was Colonel Brincourt, who said one day to the Emperor, on presenting, him with a box of
Londres:
“Sir. will you once in your life smoke good cigars? Condescend to take these.’’ f be Emperor smiled, took the box, and replied in a voice almost tremulous with emotion, “I ought to be excused for preferring the cigars which come from my fatherland.” From that day forward, his Majesty no longer offered any cigars to Colonel Brincourt.
A National Eaxury. The reports of tbe internal revenue bureau, at Washington, reveal that in the fiscal year 1863 (Me first year of the tax system) two hundred millions of cigars paid tax to Government. The following year nearly five hundred millions were returned for tax. During 1865 within a fraction of seven hundred millions paid duty, and in 1866 three hand red and fifty millions. Here is a grand total at one and three-quarter billions of Mis article for lour years, on which about ten millions of duty waa paid, Indnsive of all Me grades of excise imposed by the several laws in force, respectively. These figures exhibit an enormous consumption ; but, enormous as Mey may appear, it is evident, from certain considerations. Mat they do not represent Me quantity of cigars Mat has actually been manufactured and mR! during tbe period named. To Me nsaanfacture honestly reported must be added that which Is illicit; and malt M n well known fact—particularly among revenue officers—Mat Me fraud perpetrated by the tobacco trade ban ranked second to that committed by distillers of spirits; snd aa it has been officially announced that but two gallons of spirits in every five manufactured have paid tax—while one gallon taxed to five escaping tax has been put forward as more nearly correct, by unofficial, yet expert sources ws are justified in assuming Mat at least one hundred per cent, of the tone extent of cigar manufacture haa been concealed from tbe Government. AnoMer fart t» be considered is, that for three of Me four yearn embraced, Me quantity given represents Me trade in this article ofThe North alone. Still another consideration may be suggested—Me manifest steady increase annually of tho number of smokers and Me number of cigars used
t wtil be observed that during 1863 only two hundre d millions were repotted as manufactnred. This was the first year of the tax system, however, and reasonable allowance sbonld be made for ignorance and misunderstandings of its requirements, by both officer* and tax payers, and for the manifold difficulties incident to Me application rt aa untried system full of perplexing details. Tbe next year we find an Increase of three hundred millions, and the next an increase of two. hundred millions over Mo year proceeding: but ia the last year, 1866, we have a loes tf three huafftsd nod fifty mMfons.
