"Crooked Sticks." Speaking of Col. Starr's Hame Fac tory, the True (Julian) Republican regrets that 'Bro.' Dayis of the Palladium, could not be 'run through the mill' and be made fit to aid in tbe pull and march of progress, instead of at present eternally blocking the way." It takes good timber out of which Hames are manufactured, and were we so disposed, we might feel somewhat flattered at the thought that even Isaac would deem us fit to be manufactured into an article so useful on a ''pull" as' Hames. We are grieved that we can not say as much for the "crooke 1 sticks" composing the Ju-lind pile, of the genus Ti7iV a that species is entirely too soft not being even fit for fuel. ! But leaving the metaphorical track,' we will pay brief attention to the charge of our being "at present eternally blocking the way.". Tray enlighten us, Isaac, how this can be "at present , eternally ?" If we prefer Gen.' Bennett, or any other gentleman to ' Bro. George, is that "blocking the way" to the "march of progress?" Is it nbt doing Jiim a favor to use our best endeavors to relieve, him from the itreadmill of Congress'' in which position he complains of wearing, out his valuable life? XFir.claim to be a Republican of the strictest 'sect, and our best exeitlons have always been' to remove all obstructions to the' car of progress in its onward march, and to l)i,event such-like t, "crooked sticks'; as the' J ulians have proved themselves to, be, in the past as; well as the present," from "blocking the way." T We can not forget; when the Republican Party .was iif its infancy', the efforts , made by Bro. G eorge in ''blocking the . way" of its. march to victory, merely to gratify his personal malignancy towards Gov. Morton, (who then was the party's candidate for Governor, )by, a let ter over his own signature in' thiSi NationaL-JEraV' exhausting himself Ik pleading '-and pray ing that "both the State ticket and Tlat-' form should meet with an inglorious de feaL" From that day to this, our distinguished M. O. has been true to his malignant feelings,' and has seized 'every op ' portunity to gratify them,' 'blocking the way" of the Republican Party within the district by threats, denunciations and abase towards those who camdidly and honestly believe-that wisdom and integ rity would not die oot of.the world if our distinguished M. C should be translated to the world of spirits ! I r Z-,--. -Bat ieaving Bro. -"George siide; why should Isaac, that other Vcrooked stick1 of the family, fee! called upon to lecture Bt tor "blocking the way?". 1 From his earnest and, enthusiastic manner,, and rgror the progress of the Republican Party, one wotua suppose be was a po litical 4 Chevalier Baiard without fear and withont reproach; and that he never. edited the JefTersonian, -.and denounced the Republican Party, with as much viru lence, as the veriest "Copperhead" sdi tor does, now, .He. rf "blocking the way" of the Republican Party, and re ceived his price, like -Judas, in "thirty pieces of eilrer!?

I I ; t! t. f Fourth street was: suddenly .ahockadabout bl past eleven o'clock, this morning, as (he whole city will be on reading the news, by the fatal shooting of Mr. A. M. Bennett, the well known hatter, by his own hand. He was seen to enter the store, on the south , side of Fourth, near Tine, by his clerks, at the hour named, walk hastily back to bis counting-room, and . in a few'momenU afterward a plitof shot was heard In that 'uarteiCnJoing feacfcrttiey VonnS lumying" i on his lounge, wneonsciotts, with a wound in bis right temple, tbe blood and brains oozing from the same, ' aad a pistol on the floor by bis side. ,. ... ,.; J Professor Wayne, from Suire's drug store, Dr. ; Dodge; and ether physicians were called immediately but of course could render no help. The shot was fatal, thoagh he lived for an hour. . :. ., . A messenger was immediately dispatched for his wife, an estimable lady,' dearly loved and cherished be; the unfortunate husband. They bad a comfortable home of their own on Mount Auburn, 'near tbe Hopkins Park, and seemed to enjoy life without the. least alloy. A note was found on the table, the ink 1 not yet dry, written evidently under great excitement, ; as many of the letters were frightfully out of proportion and nervously irregular, saying, - in' substance " I wish my friends to see that my precious wife is kindly cared for, and my business promptly settled, Yours,' In death, " 1 ' h 'K' ' " " Bensstt."" .' tv. JO CAUSB Or THB FATAL DBXIi ": " ' '.- It will be recollected that about six months ago Mr. -Bennett sold out his hat store, en the north side -of . Fourth street, near Walnut, to Mr. B. F. Coan, giving an obligation to him not to resume tbe same business in this city within three years. But for some reason be did, almost immediately, proceed to Europe: . andeturned with a new stock of goods, in the "same .line, and opened a fine establishment within a square of his old stand. . : " n:j" Of course, this caused an alienation of feelings between the two, and Mr. Bennett holding a note from Mr. Coin for a deferred payment,' the latterrefused to pay it and the difficulty went into' court. This morning the suit was decided against Mr. Bennett in the Superior Court. And in addition to tbe verdict, Judge Stofer administered, it is said, rather a severe - reprimand to Mr. Bennett for writin liim" a private 1 vnr . mi- nunnsavE m mm man ti 1 v nnT w u 1 vm v r cordance with the rules of the Court, denied a hearing. Smarting ader this defeat,and humiliated, no doubt, by the rebuke of the Judge, he went directly to bis store and committed the rash act MB. benbtt's LETTER TO JCOCB STOBBB. , , The following is a copy of the letterwhich drew from Judge Storer bis reprimand : ' " " '-"jt : CrtOiwifATi, March 19, 1868 1 - To llos, Bellakt Stobsb, Judge of Superior Court, Cincinnati : . . 1 . Deab Sib lam sorry you find yourself unable to decide the matter of Coan vs. myself, as it is a matter of most vital importance to me to know wheth er 1 am to be farced into signing a contract of which I never heard until I had gone to an outlay in rent fixtures, Ac, which the' enforcement of plaintiff's claim will render a total loss to me, and be of no ad' vantage to hitu. As Shakespeare has it, "It doth not enrich them, but makes me poor indeed." . Although they may close me up and force me into bankruptcy by the meagre and circumstantial testi mony of a German lawyer, whose knowledge in the premises was all derived front his -clients, and not from me, some one else may-purchase .my stock nd fixtures at such a reduction as will enable them to offer stronger competition than I could, and as plain tiffs' made $7,009 last year out of ih mnproJUabte pur chase, I think tbey are in a very comfortable position without further aid. , , Hoping you w ill pardon me for addressing you oth erwise than through my connsel, I am yours." ' ' ' Very respectfully, I .: ' A.' M. Bennett. The substance of Judge Storer's remarks in refer ence to this letter is as follows : He considered the letter highly improper; but as this was the first time he had ever been approached in this manner, although he rendered himself liable to be severely pnnislied, he would not fine him nor confine him, but would have the offense entered upon the minutes of the Court, as an example and warning to others. , T Mr. Bennett wished to explain, but the Judge, per haps properly enougW 'Woold not hear bim.' Mr. Bennett, however, persisted Jn saying that . he had been waiting for three days for the decision in the case, his attorney, Judge Gholson, being absent in Columbus, and he thought it unfair to have a decision made against him upon such' testimony as had been given. 1 ne J uage insisted on ma tising 01s seat, ana finally ordered the Sheriff to take him in charge. He then sat down, greatly mortified at the severe rebuke he "had received, and Boon left the Court room.' At 1 o'clock the unfortunate" man expired, having remained ' nneonscious from she rsk 1' Abodt .this time his wife arrived in a coach, and entered the store in an agony of grief;, where we must leave them for the present.' ! ' " ' ' - Soon after this sad occurrence, the store of Mr. Coan, on the opposite side of the street, was closed, as well as that ef his deceased, rival in business. A Coroner's inquest will, of course, be held when these facts will perhaps be more clearlybrought out. n U'cl 1 . n. a 1 ' - - - - Washinstoh Crrr, March 25, 1868.'

"At a residence in this neighborhood (.a flower show was held- on' thef lawn,' which was separated by iron -railings ; from a field in hich several cows-were grazing. Whenthe band began to play, i? the cows, which were at.a considerable distance, simultaneously ceased grazing, and came up. toward the lawn standing in a row, with "their heads stretched over the railings, intently watching the band," apparently with the greates interest-and .-. astonishment. When the" band; ceased , playing, they moved away to a distance, . where they could graze undisturbed by .' the crowd, but alwaj's returned and watched the band when it resumed play ing, with the same apparent interest aud r absorbed attention. Of course, , ailu sions to Orpheus and , the beasts were . plentiful "among the company: The cows certainly seemed the most attentive part of the audience, and the effect of a row-of fascinated cows with, heads. over, the railings, was very ludicrous". , The civil war in Japan ,;' seems likely to end in the triumph of the. allied Daiinios over the Tycoon.' The latter, it is reported, has been defeated in a severe engagement," and -fled to i Yeddo. The Government of the young Milkado has notified the representatives of the 1 foreign powers that 'Japan will . faithfully adhere to the treaties. On ' the other hand, however, a report reaches us that all the foreigners have -left Hiogo and Osr.ca. and that one foreign - vessel' has been fired upon by . the Japanese. However this may be, it as .incredible tlrat the Milkado - .Government, should ever seriously think, of - violating the treaties. The Japanese have, during tike last ten years,- seen aud : heard too much about the power and the civilliza tion of foreign nations to ever make a serious attempt to return to their forsi er isolation. , ,; : ; --: , ., . . . The New York Sun says a good deal has beeu said in Commercial circles about the ability of the Hawaiian Islands to produce enough sugar for all the United "States. This is not - correct' , A large quantity of sugar has been grown in the island, and about 16,000,000 lbs. have been shipped to San Francisco: but the whole area 'of.the fgro up ; is n ot more than 0,060 square, miles, . which equals 400,000 acres, and of this three are rocky, mountain wastes. The extent of good sugar growing land' is'thoBght to be 100,000 acres, which could produce on an average, 200,000,000 pounds annually, , .The - extent under cultivation on 33 plantations is 10,' 233 . acres, and these yield about 20,000,C00 pounds of sugar, most of which goes to the Pacific States.,: The average consumption of suuar in the United States is about 400, f 000 tons; or 800,000,000 pounds annu ally; so that the Hawaiian- Islands - can now furnish only one fortieth of our consumption; and if , the growth .of the article were pushed to its utmost extent, the islands could supply only one-fourth of our demand. v u ' .: No reader will forget the floods of vi tuperation poured upon , female politicians, and especially upon Anna' Dickinson, by the Democratic Journals, one and all, any time within the past five ysars.
