perishable curse attached to my name,
instead of that immortality of virtue
Which you have taught me to doubt. Is
1t Tor this that you would purchase my
forgiveness? Do you know any price
on earth capable Of purchasing it? The
young man made no reply. Theroigne
had not the generosity to forgive him.
and he persisted in the massacres of
September. In proportion as the Revo-
luton became more bloody, she plunged
deeper into it. She could NO longer
exist without the feverish excitement of
public emotion. However, her early
leaning to the Girondist party again dis
played itself, and she also wished TO
stay the progress of the Revolution
But there were women whose power
was superior even to her own. These
women, called the ,faa,ies of the gull
lotine, stripped the belle Liegoise Of her
attire, and publicly flogged her on the
terrace of the Tuilleries, on the 3lst of
May. This punishment, more terrible
than death, turned her brain, and she
was conveyed to mad-house, where
she lived twenty years, which were but
one long paroNysm of fury. Shameless
and blood-thirsty in her delirium, she
refused to wear any garments, as a SOU

She dragged herself, only covered by
her long white hair, along the flags of
her cell, or chung With her wasted hands
to the bars of the window, from whence
she addressed an imaginary people, and
demanded"the blood of Suleau.
The editor of the Hannibal Mo-
Republican has been reading the "iron
clad" test oath, and it seems to some
advantage. He says We're he an appli-
cant for registry, the following are some
of the questions that would be asked
him under the law, and he undertakes
to answer them in order:
What Is your name:
Austin Brooks.
Where do you reside?
Corner Main and Bird streets, Hanui-
bal.
What is your age:
Old enough to vote.
Where We're You BORN
Born in bed
How long have yoH resided N Mis-
souri,?
Long enough to learn That Radical
ism is an imposture and a humbug.
How long have you resided in this
county?
Well say about as long as your arm.
How long have you resided in this
election district?
Don't know how long the election
district is-may have resided here long
err than the district.
Are you well acquainted with the
terms of the third section Off the second
article Of the constitution of Missouri?
Can't say. The men who made that
section differ about it and don't seem
to be wei! acquainted with it them
selves
Will you now recite the general re-
quirements of that section?
The chief requirements are that any
one, white or black, who will vote the
Radical ticket is a legal voter, and the
other requirements are that if he can't
vote the Radical ticket, he can't vote
at all.
THE LATE ELEcTIONs.-Says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer: When an analysis
is made of the late elections it will be
seen that despite the Radical cxultation
over what they are pleased 10 term ihtir
great inaiorities, that they haze really
but a small per cent. the advantage on
the aggregate vote. In Ohio, out of
100000 votes they have 10000 majority.
This is but difference of eight per
cent. In other words, for every fifty
four OF their men who went to the polls
the defeated party polled forty-sir. In
Pennsylvania, on 100000 votes their
majority is but $4,000, or less than three
per cent. of the whole number. In In
diana the majority will not exceed five
per cent. of the vote cast. Although by
dexterous and skillful manipulations Of
the Congressional Districts this great
minority is almost suppressed, yet it
really exists, and is ready for practical
action in the future. The two parties
in the great Central States arc almost
equally balanced"
