ESTHER MCDOWELL.
A SINGULAR STORY

j. F. Meginnis, in his history of the
West Brauch Valley, relates the follow
ing history Of successful imposition
practiced upon the people of Jersey Shore
in 1903:
"About the year 1903, a remarkable
circumstance Transported at the upper end
of the borough Of Jersey Shore, well re-
membored by all the old people living at
that time Pine trees in considerable
numbers, were then standing on the spot

Martin Reese, had built cabin near
where the public road crosses the canal,
on the farm now owned by Mark Slona-
ker Esq, an / made some improvements.
Rising very early one frosty morning in
October he was surprised to find beau
tifuI female in a state of nudity, with her
hands tied behind her back, and a gag
over her mouth, standing in front of the
cabin, against a tree. He relieved her,
from her uncomfortable position as soon
as possible, and rendered her the hospi-
tallties OF his humble cabin She appear
ed to be completely chilled through with
cold, and could scarcely speak for some
time. On recovering strength, she relaS

to visit an uncle that resided in Ken

benjamin Connect, who was sent express
Iy to attend her. But having a large
amount of gold in her possession, an evil
spirit prompted him to rob her; and in
lonely spot near Pine Creek he presented
a pistol to her breast, compelling her to
dismount and deliver up what money she
possessed; when he Immediately strips !

tion, to starve with hunger or be devour-
ed by wild beasts. She had remained I'm
that condition nearly all night when af-
tel desperate effort, she had released |
herself and made her way 10 the cabin
After being refreshed, she willingly vent
with the family to the spot, and pointed
out The place where she had been tied,
and the path she had beaten round the
tree trying TO free herself.
lhere was something artless in her ap-
pearance; and her modest demeanor and

OF those who saw her, that her statements
were 'rue' ana that she had been foully
dealt with. She appeared to be over.

A New York Republican in q Tight
Place.

1t appears that John A Kennedy, Su-
perintendent OF the n. Y. city police,
started the story of Liucoln's assassina,
tion with the view of getting tho o. s.
Marshalship' A Policeman, by the name
of Williamson, during a trial in th, Police
Court testified to conversation with
Kennedy as follows;
Kennedy.-'T understand you are
pretty good Republican, Williamson ?"
Williamson. YES, understand N.Y.
self to be So"
Kennedy, feelig his way safely, coulin-
ued, "I intend to send one or more de
tectiyes to the cities OF Baltimore and
Washington, for have understood that
they are organizing plot or plots 10 as-
sassinate the President elect ; at all events,
desire il to appear 50, that can do the
President service /; l have been spoken
Of as a candidate !or the Office of United
States Marsha for the District, and
don't know but that shall be oQudi.,
date"
Williamson was rather taken aback al
this and replied:
~ don't think Pm smart at that kind
of business, and you can find some one to
do 1t who is more capable"
Kennedy replied very WELL" when the
conference ended
Any lie for an office. ANY infamoUs
plot tc get into fayoc with the President.
Who will not be disgusted with such men,
They are more despicable than Traitors.
We have never read such series of sick
ening and humiliating scenes as this Re.
publican victory has furnished. In false
hood, hypocrisy, cowardice and vulgarity
we have never heard Of its equal. All
the alleged plots and coupterplots have
been invented for effect, to excite The
pnDlic mind and to advance personal and
selfish ends. The reaction, however, will
yet come.

tN'' was tNenIy HNe yHIS DelOfe inc
Mlssonri Compromise, and yet the people
IN all sections were contenled and happy.
But the condition Of things which satisf-
ed our fathers inthe time of Washington,
OF course must be spurned in this day ard
generation, by the fanatics and crazy pol.
ltlcal economists. Since the Missouri
Compromise has been repealed, the sla,
very question remaias precisely as it
was when Washington vas President.
Before the Compromise was enacted,
State after State abolished slavery volun-
tarily. and without the threats and offic-
ious interference of the Reechers, Par
kers, Greeleys, rnd others of thet stamp.
When the Mucklewratbs began to agitate,
emancipation ceased.
During the administration Of Washing
ton, the Society of friends memorialized
Congress, invoking its interposition to in
terd!ct the slave trade, and submitting
the interrogation how far the powers of
Congress could be exercised toward the
ameliorGtion and abolition of slavery in
the States and Territories. The subject
was referred to a commilte composed OF
men perfectly couversnnt with the mean
ing Of the Constitution, for Mey had made il.
They ported-"T The Congress, by a fair
construction Of the Constitution, are re,
strained from Interfering in the emancipation of
8lavtS &C." but that Congress have aus
thority to interdict the slave trade"
And when Congress was about putting
an abrupt termination to the slave trade,
a perfect storm of remonstrances came
from Massachusetts, and other holy States
OF the present day. demanding that the !
trade should be prolonged eight years be
yond the time proposed; so that they be
enabled to fulfill the lucrative contracts
in transporting the thousands Of poor Af-
ricans agreed upon from their native
country to the Southern planters. Some
were g building expensive vessels, others
had lust purchased and fitted out slave
shlps," with view to the profit Of the
trade, and fit were suddenly abolished, |
they would be crippled, if not ruined
SPECTATORS ip human flesh. The journals
Of Congress show that the South were in
Iavor o. the immediate termination of the
iuhuman traffic, and that the States now
under the spiritual guidance of the sane
lihed Beecher, Parker Greeley, Sew.
ard and Garrison, we're unanimously ag.
ainst it.
