CHAGRIN FALLS CORRESPONDENCE.

ChAGMN ALLS July ~, louO.
EDIroR LEADER 1T may be be interesting
to know that Chagrin Falls is moving in the
right direction, although we are pretty much
all on one side, like the handle to Jug true
reformers in church and State, yet are not in
consequence Of having no opposition worthy
of note supinely reclining upon our oars, as
is too apt to be the case. No-Republicans
are wide awake and joyfully anticipating the
glorious triumph at hand.
Mr. Riddle favored us with a very able and
eloquent speech few evenings since on the
political aspects of the times. On Saturday
evening last in compliance with a call for that
purpose, we organized Lincoln Club to bet
ter meet the wants and exigences Of the ensu-
ing campaign.
Leonard Lampson was chosen President,
H. Harlow, Secretary, W. W. Anger, Esq,
DR.. J. H. Vincent, jeremiah Evans, Esq, Dr.
J. W. Harmon and Chauncey Eggleston, Jr,
were appointed Executive Committee.
The meeting adjourned one week, to reas-
semble for the adoption of constitution and
bylaws
Very respectfully yours,
H. HARLOW.

T5RNING GLEADER.
Two Acts Of he Douglas Farce OmlItod.

The Douglas Democrats were so forgettol
at their Monday evening demonstration, that
another should be held to supply the omitted
acts. Though they were addressed by six elo-
quent and sharp sighted lawyers not one of
them discovered that Herschcl V. johnson,
of Georgia, is on their ticket for Vice Presi-
dent and not the slightest reference was
made to him and his Slave Code, Slave Inter-
vention doctrines, as publicly promulgated
by letter, report, and speech. Nor did Mr..
Payne, who labored himself hoarse, make
any allusion to the Supreme Court Slave
Code plank he moved the unanimous adoption
Of after the nomination of Mr. Douglas at
Baltimore, and which was introduced by a
Louisiana delegate for the avowed purpose Of
gaining 10000 votes for Douglas in that
Slave State.
Such forgetfulness is strange as It IS unpar-
donable. The call was for a "Grand Rally to
ratify the nomination of Douglas and john
son, but the farce was enacted with John
son left out Another demonstration is due
to the tail of the ticket. Ring up the cur
lain again by all means, or Georgia may Sc
cede. The fre-eaters win brook no such in
dignity.

Opposition Gas Company in Now York.

Opposition Gas Company in New Aork.
A new Gas Company, in opposition to That
giant monopoly, the Manhattan Gas Company,
has lately been organized in New York, un-
der the title of the metropolitan Gas Com
pany," and it's operations fairly commenced.
Last week the new Company purchased
eighty-four lots on the North River and sixty
eight on the East River and are about erect
ing upon them gas works on a very large
scale. They propose to give the public gas
at one dollar and halt per 1000 feet charg-
ing nothing for The meters, and to hold out
other very liberal inducements to subscribers
for stock and gas. Their operations are 10 be
extended throughout all parts of the city, and
they expect to compete with the other Com
panies for the patronage Of the city. The
Tribune says:
"The men having the new enterprise in
charge are said to be all practical men, who
know haB to make gas and have facilities
for obtaining coal and other materials neces-
sary for the manufacture, through which they
viii be enabled to produce that useful article
at a rate considerably cheaper than it is now
made Operations for supplying the city are
to be commenced as soon as the building and
construction of machinery can be put through.
The -CompanyEhave already contracted for
seventy-fve miles Of large gas pipe. The
first pipe, and largest main ever built in this
country, is to be laid in Fourteenth street,
from river to river, and from that other pipes
will lead down Broadway, and into all other
neighborhoods where there is likely to be any
demand

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Cincinnati Ca
zette calls attention to an important decision
by Judge Leavitt of the United States Dis
trict Court of Ohio (concurred in by Judge
Mclean. The Chinicothe branch of the
State Bank of Ohio sent $50, 900 in CONNER
cial bills to Ludlow, Cashier of the Ohio Life
and Trust Company Bank at New York,
for collection. Ludlow, instead Of holding
the paper till maturity, as was his duty, sold
it and used the proceeds. Before the bills
fell due the Trust Company failed, and sub
sequently the holders of the paper, who
bought It from Ludlow, sued the Chillicothe
Bank, as endorser, the makers Of the bills
having been enjoined by the Ohio Bank from
paying the same. The bills were endorsed
bY the Cashier of the Chillicothe Bank,
''Credit my account. B. Scott, Cashier"
This the court decided was sufficient notice
to third parties that Ludlow had no authori-
ity to negotiate the paper, and upon this
ground the plaintiffs were non-suited. Had
it been endorsed the usual way, as negotiable
paper, the defendants would have lost their
case. Mr. SCOTS caution in this particular,
saved his bank $50, 600, and the establishment
Of the principle may prevent in the future,
great deal of rascality similar to that prac-
tisedby the bold and reckless Ludlow.

Freedom Is Sweet.

When Thaddeus Hyatt was confined in the
Washington Jail, the veriest of Tartars was
caught by those slavery-iavOring Senators
who made up the majority of the Harper's
Ferry Committee; for Mr.. Hyatt had energy
and leisure and money, and he used all of
these to considerable effect against Slavery
while lying in the Washington Jail. There
was no injunction forbidding him to speak the
secrets of his prison-house, and he has spoken
them. Here is one of them:
Bob is a smart, intelligent yellow fellow
here, who has been treated most shamefully.
But during all the past severe winter he has
"lacked for nothing" to use his own words
his poor delicate wife having waited on him
faithfully, earning all the money by washing,
with three children and baby; pain in the
breast and cough, tell, alas at what cost
to her. But have released her from part
of her toll, employed physician to see to
her, and hope, with reasonable care, that she
may be saved to poor Bob, whose time of ser
vice here expires next month.
The history of this man is wonderful. Born
free-cheated out of his liberty when child
ran away from Yirginia-carried back
beaten savagely-waited till his back healed
up-ran away again-again captured-but
before they had the chance Of again beating
him, he took the stable door from its hinges
at night, selected out of eleven horses the one
having the best bottom, and at the dead hour
of the night with kind word from the young
master, bis young masters own new boots,

had to give him, the brave fellow started once
more on 100 mile journey, with streams to
cross, and toll bridges to pass, before he could
hope to see the place where there was any
chance for liberty. He reached Washington,
n. c., found lawyer-narrated his history
secured his services-gOt free, and served
the lawyer five years to pay fOrit
THE TOMATO AS FooD.-Dr. Bennett, a pro-
fessor of some celebrity, considers the tomato
an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to
it various important medical properties.-
First that the tomato is one of the most pow
erful aperients of the liver and other organs;
where calomel is indicated, it is probably one
of the most effective and least harmful rene
dial agents known TO the profession. Second,
that chemical extract will be obtained from
it that will supersede the use of calomel in
the cure of disease. Third, that he has sue
cessfully treated diarThea with this article
alone Fourth, that when used as an article
of diet it is an almost sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Fifth, that it
should be constantly used for daily food either
cooked or raw, or in the form of catsup; it
is the most healthy article now in use.
STEAM vs.. WATER.-A Lowell writer states
that a careful computation shows the steam
power of the Great Eastern steamship is
eqbid to tfie water power that drives the mills
at Lowell This gives an idea of the inn
mense power of the steamer, equal to that
required for the works Of the great manu.
featuring city of America.

A GLOOMY PIcTURE.-The Chicago Herald,
which at first refused to hoist either the
Breckenridge or Douglas flag, and finally
yielded a faint support to the latter is deeply
in the dumps. It has no stomach for the
fight. II sees only ruin in the future. Look
ing at the gaping wounds Of theexpiring De-
mOcracy, it despairs Of ever seeing that
mighty giant on its legs again. Hear it !:
"The division every day becomes more
marked. The prospect Of harmonious action,
to any extent, becomes more and mere dim
A fatal malice seems to have eaten into our
very hearts. A Cimmerean darkness thick
ems along the line of our political vision

themselves to bo prejudiced against him
two years ago, by the influence Of party
leaders and demagogues, will not only vote
but manfully work for his recollection. We

as we'll as they anticipated Brooks, Hunt
d Co. may themselves vote for Douglas,
but the honest masses Of the people who
supported Fillmore are heart and hand en-
gagged in the cause of Lincoln and Hamlin.
The majority for the Republican clectO-
raj ticket in that State will be from $4,000
to 100000. The following is an extract
from letter written by Bel-everett-Doug-
lasito in New York to Baltimore BelI-ev-
erett man, and is fully illustrative of his
keen scent and power of description. The
writer says;
at seems as if the very dell was at work
in driving off from us such men as Scroggs
