Ilae Presidential Election Aid the
J.hw Relating Thereto.
We publish in another column this morn
ing lIio material sections of the Act of the
General Assembly and also the Amenda
tory Enforcement Act of Congress in re
Iatioti to the coming election, in order
thatlur readers may know the provisions
of the law under which the election will he
hold.
It will be seen that the provisions of the
.State law, under which the late election
lor Governor and other oflicers was held,
are equally applicable to the coming Presi
dential election.
.It is important that this matter should
1; properly understood.
The Louisville Conveutiou and its RC
SltltM. It seems a little strange that of the two
nominations made by a straightout Dem
ocratic Convention, one should have been
given to a man who was never a straight
out Democrat ! Yet, such is the case, for
Sir. Adams never was an original Demo
crat of the old school. But this is no less
curious than that Charles Francis Adams,
tbe father of the would-bc-Vice-Presideut,
who favored the Cincinnati movement
until the Convention refused to nominate
him for the Presidency, now favors Grant ;
and that the New York Erenhi'j Poxt,
which was one of the earliest, most persist
ent advocates of the Reform movement,
should im mediately desert it after the nom
ination of Mr. Greeley, the editor of a rival
paper !
These things are both curious and signili
cant, but not more so than many other
things connected with the aitempted diver
sion in favor of Grant, commonly culled the
Louisville Convention. Rut perhaps the
most remarkable feature about the Con
vention is its barrenness of anticipated re
sults. Gotten up in the interest of Presi
dent Grant, with the expectation of taking
votes from Mr. Greeley, its otdy effect has
been to add to his strength. Affording the
plainest proof that the contest was narrow
ed down to a choice between Greeley and
Grant, it has driven doubt and hesitation
from the minds of thousands of men who
could not bring themselves to vote for
either, so long as there was the possibility
of a hope of electing some one else. Ac
cordingly we find everywhere men corn-
ing out lor Mr. Greeley who
have
heretofore kept aloof.
Perhaps the most striking iustance of
this is to be found in the course of the La
Grange Reporter, one of the ablest, as it
was one of the most honest, supporters of
the straight-out movement in Georgia.
The Reporter comes to the support of
Mr. Greeley in the following earnest man
ner, in its last issue, which we commend
to the earefid consideration of our readers:
All that could be has been done by uu
flinchmg Democrats for the preservation of
t'nt; Democratic party aud its piinciples.
The Democratic party is without a candi
date put forward with any hope of success.
The main body have allied themselves
with the Liberal Republicans with
the hope aud for the purpose of displacing
Ihe present corrupt and oppressive national
administration. The coalition thus formed,
mainly in the interest of the Liberal Re
publican party, securing to it the prestige
of being the controlling clement of the gov
ernment, should success be attained, prom
ises to relieve the country, especially the
South" of the horrors inflicted upon it by
Grant's Radical administration. Ii prom
ises a removal of the abuses of local self
government and a reform in the civil ser
vice. It promises to restore peace and
good government to the whole country; it
promises that theie shall be no proscribed
classes and no disfranchis d castes within
the limits of the Union, and that a "long
estranged people shall re-unite and frater
nize upon the basis cf univesal amnesty
and impartial suffrage." It promises to
restore the civil authority to its rightful
place over the military power.
Upon the other hand, Grant and his
party are determined to maintain their
power at all hazards by the free use of the
sword, aud we know full well what their
policy has been and what it is now. They
have dragged old and infirm men from
their homc3 and incarcerated them in
Northern prisons for no other crimes than
that they have been basely charged with
conspiracy of some sort by ignorant, unprin
cipled and revengeful negroes, carpet-bagger
and sca'dawags. These men have been
denied the sacred rfcht of the habeas cor-
ptix, guaranteed to every citizen, whether
guilty or innocent, when under arrest. The
terrors of Giant's administration are fresh
in the minus of every Southerner. They
are appalling to every honest heart. They
have di hen our people from their homes
and sent them abroad lleeing from rapine
and murder. The record is enough to chill
the heart of every Southerner and to in
spire the wrath aud indignation of every
true man. Grant and his paity do not ex
press any intention of reform or even a
modification of their oppressive governmen
tal policy, but rest their support in the
present campaign upon the prestige and
record of the last four years of rule and
inin, despotism and disregard of public
iberty.
All hope of a successful Democratic can
didate has vanished. We have hoped
that Demon at ic Si n'unenl would assert its
power, and give us a candidate whose
chances nrght have pr inised something
of success. Any attempt now to run a
candidate, after the dt cl nsion of Mr.
Conor to accept, the Louisville nomina
tion, would be futile and brfhg genuine
Democracy into mere ridicule, and result
m no i;ood to eitli. rthe country or the
paity. The Louisville platform is a good
one, it has the ring of the true metal in it.
U e are glad it was promulgated, and we
trust the day will come when the hosts of
the Democracy may rally upon it and save
the country from the centralizing tendency
of the times as indicated in the Philadel
phia platform of the Radical party and the
Cincinnati platform of the Liberal Repub
lic? ns.
Rut for the present we see no way in
Which to save the country from precipitate
rum except by the election cf (he Liberal
Republican candidate.
Horace Cireeley.
Verily, if Horace Groeley makes many
more speeches we shall be forced to do
what we certainly never considered to be
within the range of possibility, to wit : to
entertain a feeling of personal regard and ad
miration for the man. Our judgment told
us that as a Southern man, and as an advo
cate of local self-government, it was our duty
to support Mr. Greeley: but we have never
denied that in coming to this conclusion,
the impulses of our heart were kept in
subjection. But the man who can read
the speeches of Mr. Greeley, as published
on tha first page and in the telegraphic
columns of tbe Journal this morning,
without being conscious of a warmer feel
ing than mere acquiescence in a policy
dictated solely by a cold calculation of ma
terial advantages, is cooler than we either
profess or desire to be.
If there be any weak point in the candi
dacy of Mr. Greeley, at the North, it is the
fact of his known advocacy of a just and
generous policy toward the South. And
yet, well kuowicg this fact, he hesitates
not to avow his sentiments in the most pub-
he manner, and when he is well aware
that thousands and thousands of unscru
pulous men all over the country are hang
ing upon his most trivial utterances, in the
hope of finding something they may distort
and pervert to his disadvantage.
All honor, then, say we, to the brave,
honest old man !
Radical Uannon)-.
There is an old proverb which declares
that when rogues fall out honest men will
get their dues.
There Is a considerable falling out just
at this time in Pennsylvania, and if we are
to believe the parties thoreto the condi
tions upon which honest men in that State
will come to their own again, have been
complied with. The difficulty is seemingly
about the Radical candidate for Governor,
one General Ilartrauft, the man we be
lieve who had charge of the execution of
Mrs. Surratt. The real trouble, however,
grows out of the rivalry between Senator
Siman Cameron and Colonel John W.
Forney, "my two papers, both daily."
Ilartrauft is the Cameron candidate,
aud is denounced by Forney aud his
friends, and with strong array of proof,
as a cheat anl swindler, second only
to liullock, of Georgia, and Littlefield, of
Xorth Carolina and Florida. On the other
hand, Cameron aud his man Ilartrauft re
turn the compliment to Forney, in no
stinted measure.
Meanwhile the Democrats, seeing their
opportunity, have put forward ex-Senator
Buckalew as a candidate for Governor,
a man whom even Radical calumny
dares not assail. The Liberal Republi
cans also sustain him cordially.
Forney aud Cameron are, perhaps, the
two strongest Radicals in Pennsylvania,
and hate each other with no common
hatred, aud would each prefer to see
Buckalew elected rather than be defeated
in the contest for the control of their own
party. This being the state of things there
is scarcely any doubt how the State will
go in the October election.
The Radicals claim, however, that they
will be able to carry it in November, no
matter how it may go in the Governor's
election. It is easy to see that this is mere
braggadocio.
If we carry the State for Buckalew,
tbe Administration will in vain attempt
to bring together the scattered, demoraliz
ed and conquered forces of the Radical
party. Fortunately for us, Cameron and
Forney are so nearly equal in power and'
influence in the Radical party in Penn
sylvania, that Grant does not dare to inter
fere in behalf of either, but is compelled to
stand neutral, even though it be at the
plain risk of allowing Buckalew to walk
over the track.
As a sample of the kindly feeling between
the Ilartranft men and Forney, we give
the following. The Philadelphia Eceninj
Bulletin, a Cameron organ, says :
" Mr. Forney is still hotly engaged in
bespattering the pure record of General
Ilartranft, aud is whistling furiously to
keep up his dismayed spirit as he daily
witnesses the gathering proofs of the total
failure of his wicked design, nis columns
reek with the foulest abuse of the gallant
soldier whom he has so madly sought to
destroy, and at the same time he whines
with pitiful complaints because the im
personality of the Press1 has been invaded
and he held up to public scorn aud con
demnation as the interested slauderer of a
man whom President Grant recently de
clared to be one of the very best men
ever nominated in Pennsylvania for any
office.'"
Colonel Forney, the Editor of the Phila
delphia Press, goes back on Ilartrauft and
his backers in the following lovely manner: :
The Press has always said that General
Ilartranft -vas a brave soldier, and as a
brave soldier there is no reason why the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention, at Pitts
burg: assembled, should not endorse him,
but if the soldiers and sailors who compose
that convention endorse Hartranft's nomi
nation for Governor of Pennsylvania,
knowing, as they must know, that he is
corrupt himself and that he is the
tool of a corrupt .ring of politicians,
they will bring upon themselves disgrace,
and show themselves to be directly op
posed to the best interests of that State
which they so bravely defended through
four long years of bitter war. We know
not , we hope not, that this endorsement
will be given, and our words now are words
only of counsel and warning, but if they
do villify their own record their action can
not save him from defeat. Hartranft's fate
is sealed ; and if these brave and loyal
men associate his name with the names of
Grant and Wilson, in their ratification of
the Republican nominations, the election of
the National ticket will be imperiled, and
the convention, instead of accomplishing
a great good, will only result in accom
plishing a great aud permanent evil.
Verily, the prospect is a hopeful one !
When rogues fall out honest men get their
dues !
Modern Trials by Jury Professional
Experts.
The cases of Dr. Schocppe and
Mrs. Wharton have attracted univer
sal attention. In both these cases the ten?
timony of professional experts was neces
sary to determine whether the death of
the alleged victim was natural or violent.
Dr. Schoeppe was twice tried. On the
first trial, possibly from ignorance or mis
management of counsel, the weight of sci
entific testimony being tha. the death cf
Miss Stiuuieke was a violent one, he waa
convicted. Upon the second trial, which
occurred a few days ago, the weight of tes
timony upon the same poiut was so strong
the other way as to secure his acquittal ;
so strong, indeed, that His Honor, Judge
Jenkins, thought proper to say, " that
before going into this trial he was of the
opinion that the defendant was guilty, but
since hearing the evidence presented, Le
could only wonder how an action, so
nearly approaching a fearful crime, could
be countenanced by the court and counsel
engaged in it. It seemed to bim that the
hand of Providence had interposed to pre
vent a fearful crime."
It was upon the weight of the same kind
of testimony that Mrs. Wharton was ac
quitted of the murder of General Ketchum.
Indeed, it seems now almost impossible
to convict in trials where it is necessary
for the prosecution to make out the case
by the tes imony of professional experts,
provided the prisoner has the means to em
ploy competent legal and scientific counsel.
Why this should be so is a question well
worthy of serious consideration. That
there is a growing disinclination on the
part of the average modern jury to bi ing
in a verdict of guilty in a case of capital
felony cannot be denied. There are some
men in every community who are consci
entiously opposed to capital punishment.
There are others whose weakness, and
others whose kindness of heart, make it
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for
them, in the face of the plainest testimony,
to consign a fellow-being to the gallows.
But there may be, and in our opinion there
are, better and worthier reasons why mod
ern juries so frequently acquit persons
charged with murder by poisoning.
It has become a habit of late days,
especially with the press, perhaps we ought
to say with the Northern press, to ridicule
and deride that great safe guard and pro
tection to the life and liberty of the citi
zen, the trial by jury. We do not concur
in this feeling. Indeed, it seems to us that
the experience of our own generation, to
say nothing of the teachings of History
shows conclusively that no people can
preserve their liberties whose laws do not
recoguise, and whose rulers do not resect
the writ of Habeas Corpus and trial by
jury as inalienable rights of the citizen. It
is one of the fundamental principles of the
law, based upon the teachings of expe
rience that it is better for mankind that
the rules for the administration of justice
should be framed so as to permit the
acquittal of the guilty rather than by their
severity to procure the conviction of the
innocent. It has always, theiefore, been
a cardinal priuciplo of action with juries
to give the prisoner the benefit of the
doubt, an 1 it is the application of this well
known princip.e that gives tha true ex
planation of the actiou of the juries in
modern times.
A man is charged with murder by
poisoning, and is put upon trial before a
jury for his life. Suspicious circumsfauces
indicating his guilt with seeming certainty
may, .indeed, exist, and yet is possible
for the man to be perfectly iunocent.
There may be evidence of the presence
of poison that, unexplained, would seem to
be conclusive as to the guilt of the prison
er ; scientific tests may have been
applied that were deemed a few years ago
to indicate unerringly the presence of a
given poison, and still the prisoner may be
innocent. There is nothing strange or
contradictory In this. It happens that an
increased knowledge of chemistry Las
shown some of the tests hitherto relied
upou as absolutely trustworthy to be abso
lutely inconclusive, for the reason that the
results thus obtained can be obtained by
the presence of other substances than the
alleged poison. Or, as not unfrequeutly
happens, the analysis may have been made
in such a slovenly or unscientific manner,
that the result is utterly valueless. Indeed it
happens that the presence of poison, as in
dicated in some analyses, is occasioned by
its introduction in combination with the
very substances or the machinery used in
applying the so-called tests.
These things being so, it ought not to
seem strange that sworn jurors should find
that they had reasonable doubts as to the
guilt of the prisoner, or that they should
give him the benefit thereof. In such
cases as these, it becomes absolutely ne
cessary for a proper defence, for the prison
er to have the benefit of the counsel and
assistance of a scientific man in the cross
examination of the professional expert in
troduced in behalf of the State. This state
of things has brought about a change in
the manner of conducting trials of this
character, in that, scientific counsel are a3
regularly employed as legal counsel, when
parties can afford the expense. It is sim
ply impossible for lawyers to be sufficiently
versed in the knowledge of medic ne and
of chemistry to conduct satisfactorily and
intelligently a difficult or complicated case
of alleged poisoning, and just nere is
the trouble. This scientific knowledge can
not be had for the mere asking; it must be
paid for. It is not every community that
has a chemist familiar with all the learn
ing of his profession, nor would it be just
to a man whose professional knowledge is
perhaps his only means of livelihood, to
force him not only to give to the State, or
indeed to the prisoner, the benefit of that
knowledge, without compensation, but also
to lose hi" time in attending court day after
day duringfca protracted trial. And yet for
lack of a competent witness of proper qual
ifications as a scientific expert, an inno
cent man may be convicted.
The act of the late Legislature to some
extent meets the difficulty in the case by
leaving it to the discretion of the Superior
Court to tax in the bill of costs a suitable
compensation for all witnesses examined
as professional experts. The po si er of the
Superior Couit under this act having been
affirmed by the Supreme Court in the late
case of the State vs. Dollar, witnesses will
doubtless not be slow in taking advantage
of it.
This provisou of the law, wise and be
neficent as it is, does not, however, meet
all the difficulties that suggest themselves,
and indeed, it may well be, that the griev
ance belongs to that very large class foi
which there can be, in the nature of things,
no perfect and complete remedies.
But however this may be, the action of
the Legislature was certainly a step
in the right direction.
David P. Lewis, the Grant candidate for
Governor of Alabama, was a member of
the Secession Convention of that State,
signed the secession ordinance, was a mem
ber of the Confederate Congress, and after
wards an officer in the rebel army. But
he is "loyat" now.
A letter from the neighborhood of
Austin, Texas, says : "The great mass of
the people in this State favor Greeley. The
opposition of the old eecession clement,
which is quite werk, only strengthens his
supporters. All classes, with few excep
tions, are united on Old Honesty.' "

We are informed that the work of laying
the track of the W. C. & R. R. R. at its

recommenced on j-esterday and will be
vigorously pushed forward. Some two
miles tan be accomplished without resort

of a mile of good road bed intervenes be
fore another trestle will be necessary. But
this will occasion no delay, as we learn
from Captain Gregory, who has been hard
at work for some time past, that he has
the trestles already prepared aud framed

This is the best improved and most desira

Meeting of the Lihkkai, Republi
can Cluu Ax Aule and Eloquent
Addkess iiy a Colored Okatoi:. Last
evening Jacob Dewitter, from Washington,
D. C, delivered before the Liberal Repub
licans and other politicians, at the "Liberal
Republican Club Room," at No. 2, North I
Water St., a most able aud eloquent ad
dress, amidst loud and frequent cheers and
applause. He said that he was in f avor cf
recont iliation aud reform. Many of the
people of the United States are entirely
ignorant of the fact that Horrce 'Greeley is
now a much stronger Republican than he
ever was. The negroes in particular have
allowed themselves to be so far misled by
the pseudo Republicans, as to look upon
the famous Horace Greeley as a war
Democrat, forgetting the gigantic efforts he
has for so many years been making t se
cure the rights aud liberties of the African
race. The Hon. Charles Sumner, too, has
been turned into a stupid, unfeeling ma
niac, simply because his clear-eyed pre
cision will not allow him to be confounded
with the erroneous masses. The speaker
went on. in a most forcible style to show the
inconsistencies of most of the Radical Re
publicans who, to say the least of them,
never prove their faith by their woiks. He
srave many striking instances of this faet
in connection with his adventures and
shameful treatment in America. Horace
Greeley, in point of fact, was far abler, in
every respect, to rule the country than the
present administrator of the government,
who is an insulter of the negro race.
Wilson's Progressive Speller. We
have received from the author, Mr. Wil
liam J. Wilson, a copy of this excellent
book, and cordially commend it to parents
and teachers. Our people seem of late to
have roused themselves to the importance
of a thorough examination of the books to
be placed in the hands of their children,
and to be unwilling any longer to rely
upon the North.
We speak of it as an excellent book because
it comes highly recommended to us by men
far better qualified to judge of its merits
than we pretend to be, by men whose opin
ion in such matters, we would hesitate to
gainsay even if they were in direct con
flict with our own.
This much we can say, however, of our
own knowledge, having the pleasuie of
knowing Mr. Wilson personally, that he is
a careful conscientious, painstaking man,
of ability, learning, and experience; so
much so that we would not hesitate to put
any book of his in the hands of a child
without examination. Mr. Wilson lives in
the extreme western portion of the State
and commands the confidence of the peo
ple cf that section whom he has served as
a member ef the Legislature and in other
public trusts.
The fact tfcat the book is the fruit of
twenty months labor whilst a prisoner of
war at Johnson's Island, though it cannot
make it either a better or worse speller
does give earnestness and waimth to our
wishes that its publication may not only
add to Mr. Wilson's enviable reputatiou as
a scholar, but that it may also put money
in his purse.

September lTth, lfcT-. )
Mr. Editor: I notice in the Raleigh Era,
of a recent aate, a statement that in some
counties (Onslow for one) the County
Commissioners failed to comply with the
laws, previous to last election, by not ap
pointing an equal number of Republicans
with Conservatives to act as poll-inspectors
at each precint.
I kuow not what may have been the
case in other counties, but so far as Ons
low is concerned, I pronounce the state
ment false, and the author who penned it
knew, if he knew anything about it, that
it was false.
The Commissioners appointed the p 11
inspectois for this county at their tegular
meeting on the first Monday in July, 1ST2,
and were very( particular in selecting the
inspectors, and taking care to get two Re
publicans at each election precinct If the
Era gentleman or any one eTse doubts the
veracity of my statement, they ean refer to
tl e Minutes oftho Commissioners, in my
office, book No. 1, folios 1T0 aud 171. I
am no newspaper correspondent, neither
nave l any disposition to "tiaonie 111 po

tbe Commissioners, and to the good eopIe
of my county, to refute tbe shameful, dis
graceful and outrageous misrepresentation.
Will the Era do me and the people of Ons

MORAL POWER OF MUSCLE.
BY JUDGE CLARK.
It is about a e'ozen years since business
not pleasure took me to New Jericho,
the terminus of civilization and the Wham
melover railroad. And "a hard road to
travel" that was. It had steeper grades,
sharper curves, and more of them than it
is to be hoped, ever put in peril the public
life and limb before or since.
It was Saturday afternoon, and we were
to reach Jericho at some indefinite hour
that evening, "time not being of the es
sence of the contract."
At a place called Blueruin we stopped
fifteen minutes to "liquor." There had
been a cock-fiht, and several other fights,
and a big crowd there that day, and every
body was in high glee.
The New Jericho delegation returned by
our train, and rougher looking samples of
rustic rowdydom it would have been diffi
cult to find, even in that favored region.
Among them was a six-footer, a very Her
cules in proportions, with a cock-o'-the
walk sort of swagger about him, who took
possession of two seats, depositing Ins body
on one and dead-heading his legs on the
other. One cheek was puffed out by an
underlying quid, while ever and aiion,
with a back-action jerk, he would send
near a gill of tobacco juice over his shoul
der, which those within range had the
privilege of dodging or taking the conse
quences of, as they liked. As for his con
versation, the curse of Ernulphus, or the
table-talk of a Flanders mess-room in
Uncle Toby's time, in point of maledictory
power, was weak in comparison.
At the next station a young lad' came
on board, beautiful as Venus and modest
as Diana. How so rare a flower came to
bloom in such a wild was a question to
puzzle over. But there was no time to
settle it. The lady was standing, and all
the seats were occupied. I was on the
point of offering mine, when a youthful
looking gentleman, of prepossessing man
ners and appearance, stepped forward and
addressed the couchant Hercules :
"Allow me," he said politely, "to turn
over the back of this seat."
" Hey the other grunted.
The lequested was repeated.
" See you dod d -trued first !' whs the
gruff response.
" But sir " the gentleman began to ex
postulate. " Lookee here, you," blustered the bul-
I ly, "don't you oiler for to go to rile me !
i That's my advice, on' I gives it free gratis,
cause 1 leua intrust in you.
" But this lady is entitled to a scut," Ihe,
stranger persisted.
" Give her your own then, dod drot you 1
an' stop your chin music, or, by Hoky, you
will rile me !"
As a last resort, the gentleman appealed
to the conductor, who chanced to bo pas
sing. But the latter deelined to intcifero.
Such things must be left to cuuilisy. Be
sides, it was 'nthis place to fake pait in the
disputes of passengei s.
So saying, he went his way, puuchbg
tickets, aud taking no fuither heed.
"Dod blast you, you hcv riled me!1'
shouted the bully, spt inging to his foet and
striding up to the young man, who didn't
seem quite sensible of his danger ; ''you've
gone and stuck your nose into oilier peo
ple's business, an' I'm goin to puil it !"'
An attempt was made to suit the action
to the word ; but btli re the metaphorical
ly offending member hid been so much as
touched, something it moved so swifly 1
couldn't be positive it was the gentleman "u
fist took Hercules directly between the
eyes, and sent hint sprawling to the other
end of the car. He didn't get up immedi
ately, and when he did he seemed a little
bewildered as te whether he had been
knocked down or the train had run oil' the
track. He had had enough at all events,
wherever it came from, as was evident
from the subdued air with which he took
his departure for the smoking-car, whither
his companions soon followed, no doubt se
cretly chuckling at the result, as usually do
the chums of a whipped bully.
Pap Kilderkin, the proprietor of the New
Jericho Rest, was the most communicative
of hosts. Before bed'.ime that night I was
thoroughly and accurately "up" in all the
gossip of the place, and had its scandalous
statistics at my fingers' ends.
Among other things, I learned that
"stated preaching" had hitherto been
among the wants of the community, but
that a "supply" had been at length ob
tained, and the new minister was expected
to enter on his duties on the morrow.
"And a refreshiu' season he'll hev of it,"
said Pap.
"Why so ?" I asked..
"Oh, Bill Grinkey an' t'other chap's
goin' to brake him in tomorrer; an' ef jou
want to see fun, I'd edwise you to go
thar."
And I did go nOt "to see fun," as Pap
Kilderkin suggested, but, I trust, from bet
ter motives. Pap went, too by what
prompted, I prefer not judging.
When we reached the church, the min
ister had not yet made bis appearance,
though a goodly number of hearers had
already assembled. A few minutes later,
yesterday's delegation to the Blue-mi n
cock-fight, headed by the vanquished bully,
wiih both his eyes in full mourning, saun
tered in, and walked noisily down the
aisle.
"That's Bill Grinkey," whispered Pap,
"an' them's t'other chaps
"Make way for the mourners !"' sing out
Bill, crowding with his companions into a
fiout seat, where a boisterous conversation
was struck up, mingled with an incessant
cracking of peanuts.
"I kin tell you that progranny," Pan
continued; "a pack o' shootin'-ci ackers '11
be teched off doorin' the fust hvme an' a
pair o' game chickens as a couple o' them
chaps got in thar pockets '11 be sot lighting'
as soon as the tex's gin out, arter which
Gen'ral Ned 'ill be in order."
A sudden silence fell upon the congre
gation. Not a muimur was heard and the
peanuts ceased to crack. Looking up, I
saw the new minister in the pulpit; and
guess my surprise at recognizing him as
the 3'oung man that had struck out so
1 deftly from his ehoulder the day before.
j With a clear, manly voice, he gave out a
j hymn, which was sung through without
interruption.- A prayer was ollereu up
amid profound and decorotis silence. An- j
other hymn followed, and then a sermon,
earnest, plain, practical, and without a j
word of cant iu it. From the beginning io j
the end of the exercises, save a siugle iu-
cipient crow, promp ly choked off, from one i
of the invisible chickens, order was ob- j
SCiY-'d. i
" I say, Bill," I overheard from one of
" t'other chaps," as they made their way
out, "that parson's a trump ; he preaches
a downright good lick, an' fights fair, with
out bitin' or gouginY'
It was easy to see the new minister's
status was settled. I have since heard that
Bill Grinkey has la-come an exemplary
meml er of the church, and the parson the
happy husband of the young la-5, a
whose champion he first achieved popularity-

SALLIE'S BEDTIME.
A father, not very far from here, read in
the papei the other morning that the
"Utica girls who want their beaux to go
home the same night they call, pull a string
at the proper hour which reverses a pic
ture, on tiie back of which appear the
words " Ten o'clock is my bedtime."
This father, who has a daughter given to
late hours when a certain youth sits up and
helps her keep them, thought be would
try this Utica plan, so he wrote in large
characters on the back of a huge portrait
of George Washington, this inscription :
" 10 o'clock is sallies" s bedtime."
Then he arranged the picture so that
when he attached a string to the frame, he
could revei se it from bis bed-chamber.
But when Sa'lie entered the room an hour
later, her aesthetic eye was outraged by
obseiving the portrait of George hanging
slightly out of plumb, so to speak, and in
adjusting it her father's little gaum was re
vealed in all its subtile ingenuity .
Sallie was uot a Utica girl, however, so
she just went to work and neatly ellaeed
the figure " 0," leaving the 1 standing soli-
I tary and upright which, you will observe,
made a few hours difference in her bed
! time. That night, as usual, Sallie. received
j a visit from her young; man which his
! front name it was Henry and her pater
i nal parent attached his string to G. W.'s
j portrait, and retired to his downy couch.
About lo o clock, while Harry and bailie
were deeply absorbed iu some knotty prob
lem, with their heads so contiguous that
you couldn't insert a piece of tissue paper
lotween them, the father of his country
suddenly turned his facj to the wail, as if
he was ashamed to gaze upon such doings.
Henry, with a sudden start, glanced at the
picture, and saw the handwriting n the
wall, as it were, which lead: "1 o'clock is
Saliie's bedtime." Then Henry looked at
Sallie with an interrogation in his eve,
which was partly dispelled by the fair m.iio
murmuring, "It's all right." Henry said
of course it was all right that he had long
known 1 o'clock was her bedtime, and he
thought it was plenty late enough for a
young g;n o ne out or neu, nm wnui o is;

Mcauv. h.ic liio oil man was lisLcam.. fo; (
the front door to open, and his woui.- e
son-in-law's footsteps pattering over the
pavement with the toes of his boots point
, lug from the house. The sounds not fall
ing upou his ears, and thinking maybe the '
i old thing didnY v. oik right, he gave the !
string another pull, and George Yv. again ,
; faced the audience. Then he listened ; but ;
I he heard no footsteps nothing but a j'-
' culiar sound, t-omcthing resembling the i
i popping of cbampagne corks. ;
S Theiche grew cross, and gave the string
j another jerk, causing G. W. to turn about ,
! with violent suddenness, iust as if he w as '
! lrf5n!f!ilW out of hnmnr. too. I
And still all is quiet below except that
j popping sound.
Then the string was pulled again and
again and again mdicating that the old,
j fellow was just ready to explode with rae
And for fully fifteen minutes did he have
the portrait of the man who could not tell
a lie turning excited flip-flaps and things
on the wall, like a bewitched gymnast, un
til he lell asleep exhausted Saliie's father
fell asleep, not the portrait.
Henry kissed Sallio good night at 1
o'clock a. m., remarking as he did so that
it would seem like a Ions, lontvweary year
ere he would see her again because, you
know, he didn't rxpe.-L to see lu r again un
til the evening of that day.
The next morning her fat Ian- examined
that portrait, and when he fully under
stood the situation Le was pained. He shed
a silent tear, detached the string, spouted
out the inscription, and walked away with
the weight of fifty-five years on his shoul
ders that hing his age. He says a girl
who will go back on her father t hat way
would just as lief as riot disgrace her pa
rents by marrying a Congressman. P..

Horace Greeley, accompanied by Gover
nor Randolph, arrived here to-day in a
special train at fifteen minutes past 12
o'clock. A number of citizens were in
waiting, and cheers were given for Greeley
and Randolph. Mr. Greeley thanked the
people for the demonstration, whether per
sonal to himself or in favor of the great
Liberal movement throughout tha country,
in the latter respect it was exceedingly
gratifying, as showing, the desire of the
people for a pure and simple government,
where the rights of ail are respected, and
public interests protected.
Laxcasteb, Pa , September IS.
Horace Greeley left New Yoik on a
special train 'to-day to visit the. Indiana
State Agricultural Fair to-iiK.rrow. At all
points where the train stopped enthusias
tic crowds congregated to U hint honor.
On his arrival here an i:i:in-t!;v.; assem
blage gathered iu ;sod around lh" depot.
The train stopped but fifteen minutes, and
i t.om the baieony of the Caldwell House he
I spoke out as follows :
Fellow Citizen : You s e before you
(out; who is just now the oij;.:ct, of much
i vituperative uenimciation. it 'is proclaimed
j that, i have been a secessionist, know-
nolnmg and even nrgro trader. W hatevt r
M'-eins likely to produce prejudice a.-.ainst
I 111- is freely uttered without any icgaid to
I the trulii. 1 have been repeat edUr asked
; to refute t lit; calumnies, but have thought
! it best not to attempt to do no, inasmuch
as any denial 1 might make would f'ul to
: silence the tongue of .slander,
j I am owe of those who believe that po
j litical panics (Might not to bo permitted to
! on 1st long in a government such as oujs,
j that they should flourish and p;i.ss away
j when they have snhservd the purpose for
which they wet e created. 1 do nor' believe
that this country would continue to flour

any political pariy. Scheming aud cor
rupt p( lit icians arc sure to sei.e upon the
organizations of political parties. They
soon learn tonmfh'j machine, as they
say, and lhi.y fako good care run it so
that ail Ihe oil runs into their pockets.
1 trust that we shall bej frequent
changes o;' parlies iu this country, w hat
we most need just now is that la.IepenJ
enfc spirit which le.i!s nun iu ti.- ir luve
of co lidry to rise:up.-tior to all prejudices
of political i.ssociai..o:is and ;ol tis of
poiy- .
I am free lo confess in no way
ashamed to admr, iliat my paiiy a.'-socia-lions
are not the same now as iliey weie
some yeais ago. The danger.-; which
threatened our nation in (lie past are gone.
We struggled and suffered together to pr"
scrve the union ofthe.se States, and not in
the next hundred jcars will any .itleir.pt
to divide it be made. What wo need now
is such a government :;s will enable all
pat is of the countiy to reap the fruits of
the victory. We want genuine pea:-.; aud
complete restoration of fraternal iclations.
It is time for us to forget the animosities
engendered by the war," and to kindle, in
stead of these baleful passions, a feeling cf
universal love.
It is time for us to invite those who
stood opposed to us to a seat around the
common table. There is room enough.
I am in favor of le-enfrancl ising all.
Having done this, having busied the dis
cords of (he past, 1 t us see if we cannot
do away willi the corruption "which pre
vails so largely iu our local State and
national government. This is the grei.t
work now set before us. it is for you to
s.iy through what instrumentalities this
can be accomplished.
Amidst tremendous cheers, h". bowed to
the people and proceeded west", aid.

by an immense Huong. Af.er prolonged

he delivered the following speec 1 :
Fclloiv Citizen f lhirrisbary : Scarcely
had the last guns from the great t-ivil war
ceased to reve; berate over the hills of Vir
ginia, when my voice, was raised earnestly,
if not loudly, in f.ivor of forbearance,
mercy, amnesty and 1 ecoucili.t' ion. Great
applause. I felt that there had been
blood-hed enough, devastation enough, de
struction enough; that it was now time for
a manifestation of the spiiit of Heaven
born charity.
I remember the dying inj itic, ion of the
great King David, that ei:ge:u.ce should

cause he had shed the blood ef war iu j
peaco. I would have no blood of war ,
shed in peace, f.nd would have not a drop
of human blood shed Hides- absolute ne
cessity should dictate so. i h-ui iu that
early day, when the country was highly in-
funated by the assaismat loti of its Pres-
