was done to gardens, roads, bridges, &c.
Tie disaster on the Little Miami road
was a few rods beyond the Duck Greek
bridge (Linwood station) at Redband,
and where difficulties have hitherto been
experienced. At the point where the
Railroad first strikes the Little Miami
river, and where the turnpike is carried
over the iron track on the wooden bridge,
a chasm was made in the embankment,
some 200 feet long by 100 wide, an av-
erage depth of perhaps Is feet.

DEATH, INSANITY, AND THE DUNGEON.
The sad consequences of vice were
never more strikingly exhibited than in
the following paragraph, which we copy
from a late New Orleans letter. 1t is
truly a melancholy case, and it should
prove a solemn warning to persons temp
ted to depart from the path of virtue:
The grand jury of this parish has
found a bill of indictment against Geo.
W. Hardy, who, several weeks ago, shot
Fl. c. III. Stone, whom he charged with
seducing his daughter. The bill wac
found on Saturday last. The trial will
probably take place in the course of a
month or six weeks. Public opinion
now seems to be that the homicide was
totally ~incxcusable, and that young Stone
has met an unmerited fate. This is a
truly melancholy case. The father is
comparatively a old man, and hereto
fore stood we'll in the community as q
teacher of youth now he is immersed
in a dungeon and~charged with murder.
Stone was just entering life with pecu-
liar advantages, was prosperous in bust
ness, and surrounded by a host of conf
ding friends; now a cold grave enwraps
him. The daughter is young and high
ly educated, was beautiful and greatly
admired ; now she is a maniac, it is said,
and her future happiness gone.

The Republicans in Congress based
their hostility to the admission cf Min
nesota upon the ground that the Consti-
tuition Of tho proposed State extended
the right of suffrage to aliens. This
was the c given by Mr.. SHERMAN,
Sf our neighboring district, and others
and a very miserable excuse it was,
TOO.
The first Constitution of Ohio, adopt
cd in 1902, made no discrimination be-
tween aliens and citizens. Every
WHITE male inhabitant" over the age of
81 years, and having resided in 1.-The
State q year next preceding the cleo
tion, wal allowed to vote. This was the
policy of Ohio for nearly half a century.
In the new Constitution, "citizeu" was
substituted for "inhabitant."
Michigan was admitted under a simi-
lar liberal provision-and SO, indeed,
were nearly all the Western States.
It was since the birth of this new Re-
publican party, with its wild and new
tangled notions Of Congressional omuipo-
tence, and with its intense love of AT
rican equality. and its corresponding
hatred Of foreign born white men, (be-
cause Of their general devotion to Demo
cratic principles,) that opposition to the
admission of a new State, under such a
plea, was dreamed of. Had the Consti-
tuition of Minnesota prescribed foreign
ers. and admitted negro suffrage, her
application for admission into the Union
would not probably have been resisted
by the Republicans. !.

Assembling Corruption.

The tax payers of Ohio thought they
had been robbed about as effectually as
a people could be, by the heavy loans
made of the public monies by Black Re-
publican Office holders, to their ~favorite
pets for the purpose of starting shaving
shops, but deeply as the people of this
state were bed by the Republican guar.
dams of the public trusts, the rmagni-
tude of their system of plumber sinks
into iusigl ifcance, when compared to
the acts of the same party in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin, affair almost equals the
corruption of the last Black Republican
Congress, several of whose members be-.
come SO open in their unprecedented
acts Of bribery and public plumber, that
their political friends were compelled
fer appearance sake to expel them.
The report of an investigating COM
mittee raised by the present General
Assembly of Wisconsin,, exhibits the
following as the amount Taid by the
Milwaukee and Lacrosse Railroad Co.,
to the various Black Republican officials,
in consideration of their votes and infu-
ence, in favor of tremendous grants of
land made by the State to that Com
pany. Look at the Figures.
