The Reason She Did Not Get to the
Party.

The Reason She Did Not Get to the
| Party.
For over six months, young gentleman
has been paying some attention to lovely
and accomplished young lady in this city.
Beyond doubt, he is deeply smtten with
her; but it appears that the feeling is by
no means rcciprocated by her. She is, how
ever, pleased with another young gentle
man in this city, who is anything but in
different to her beauty, loveliness and ac-
complishments. OF this young gentleman
the young gentleman No. is exceedingly
jealous, as is very reasonable to suppose he
would be under the circumstances, al
though to the object of his Jealousy he man.
ifests no such feeling. On Monday even
ing, young gentleman No. called on the
young lady, spent the evening very pleas
antly with her, and, before leaving, invited
her to attend party with him on Wednes-
day evening, to which both of them were
invited. The young lady was delighted to
accept the invitation. Wednesday evening
came. She made the most elaborate toilet
and looked her loveliest. The clock struck
eight, and yet the gentleman came not; it
struck nine, and yet the bell had not been
rung; it struck ten-and no gentleman
made his appearance. Naturally, she was
grievously disappointed. She could not
imagine the cause for such treatment. He
could not be unwell, or he would have sent
her note informing her of that fact. Ger
tainly, he was not Indifferent about her, as
his former conduct toward her satisfactor-
lily proved. If she did go to bed that night
chagrined, she had cause for it.
The solution of the matter is this Young
gentleman No. heard of the engagement
of young gentleman No. 2 with the young
lady in question, and he determined, if pos
sble, that he should not fulfill the engage
ment. So, as young gentleman No 2 was
passing down High street to fulfill his en-
gagement, young gentleman No. l, SEEM
ingly by accident, fell in with him and
persuaded him to 90 into saloon and take
a social drink with him, which invitation
he accepted, and he AYERS that after taking
the drink he did not recover consciousness
until after midnight. This should be
warning young gentlemen who have en-
gagements to take young ladies to parties,
concerts, theaters or any place of amuse-
ment, to be careful what they drink, and /
with whom they drink, as they are on the
way to fulfill their engagements. -

IcOnsonance with the character of our peo-
! pie and their institutions. The luxury of
doing right without constraint is to all men
an ennobling sentiment. We further be-
| lleve that the people OF Indiana had quite
enough of Maine lawism under the fanati-
cal rule of men opposed to the Democratic
| party in days gone by, and with our con-
sent that kind of legislation shall never be
re-enacted in this State. We are equally
hostile to the pet law of the Republican
fanatics defeated by Democratic votes at
the late extra session of the General As
sembly, and all kindred legislation. We
shall oppose all radical temperance and
other schemes having tor their object the
annoyance of any class of our people.
l6. ReSolred That Senator Hendricks and
Representatives Niblack, Kerr and Voor-
hees, by their untiring devotion to Consti-'
tutiOnal liberty, have shown themselves
true patriots; and the expulsion of Mr..
Voorhees, from the House we denounce as
high-handed outrage of a profligate and
unscrupulous party.
Mr.. Harrington, of Jefferson, offered the
following:
Resolved, That the money expended in
support of the Freedmen's Bureau ought of
right and justice to be applied TO the relief
of the widows and orphans of white soldiers
who have fallen in battle.
Mr.. johnson, of Montgomery, moved to
strike out the eight hour resolution. He
was farmer, had to work twelve hours,
and he didn't want to see his hands sitting
around In the shade while he was sweating
in the sun. Such resolution had been
adopted in the Republican platform, and he
supposed this was only an offset to that.
They were legislating tor the nigger, whom
they thought ought not to be made to work
more than eight hours.
A delegate who was anxious to retain the
vote of the eight hour men, suggested that
farmers might hire their hands to do day
and half Is work each day during harvest.
This idea prevailed, and the resolution was
retained.
The resolutions were then adopted unan-
imOusly, and the Convention proceeded to
the nomination of candidates.

suit Against the city.

1t is rumored that the Local of the Jouna
intends to bring suit against the city for q
great loss he sustained yesterday. In the
afternoon, as he was in the act of crossing
High street in the vicinity of Spring, just
as the atmosphere had changed to a freezing
temperature, he sank to his knees in the
mud, out of which he was rescued by 8
couple of workmen who were passing on
the pavement at the time. In being rescued
from his perilous position, he sustained the
loss of one of his patent leather shoes, and
for this loss, he contemplates suelng the
city--so runs the rumor.

HOW to nispose Of Trash,

A great many persons are at loss how
to dispose of the ragged and mutilated cur
rency that accumulates on their hands. An
exchange says it is the easiest thing in the
world, and without any expense. When
you get three dollars worth on hand, put II
in small packages, pin paper band around,
with your name, postoffice address, and
the amount, then put 1t In an envelope,
and address 1t to the Treasury of the

Legislative Excursions.

Colonel Harris thus discourses in the
Ohio Farmer of this week, concerning a
couple of recent legislative excursions:
The members of the Legislature are in
dulging in pleasant excursions to look af-
ter proper site for an Agricultural Col
lege. Last week visit was paid 10 Worth
ington, and what with dinners, and
speeches, and black eyes, and blue eyes,
first-class locality for the proposed institu-
tiOn. On Saturday, a like visit was paid to
Newark and Granville with a like result,
including eyes and so-forth. The happy
dogs!-how we envy these law makers =
Free passes, free dinners, free rides, and
1ree-well, perfect freedom to look into
eyes that speak a. ain" But if this goes
on, we fear that the decision as to location
will be postponed almost indefinitely. q

Beautiful and cherished pictures should
have neat and ornamental frames. These
can be had at short notice, and of such style,
make and finish as will adorn any parlor,
room or library, at the Bazaar of Selleck &

much cheaper than elsewhere. They have
also choice brackets, fancy boxes, writing
desks and work-boxes at very low rates.

The anrinr Elections.

We hope our Democratic friends in the
county townships will not forget the i'm
portant matter of making unexceptionable
nominations for the Spring elections and
using every exertion for the success of their
nominees. Even in the hopelessly Aboli-
ton townships it should be attended to, as
it is the only method by which party or
ganizations can be maintained. The policy
Of the President as enunciated in his veto
message and in his recent speeches must
it is the duty Of every Democrat and con-
servative voter in the county to see that a
tull expression of the sentiment of the To-
ealities be had at the ensuing election

Have Voted their Last Abolition
Ticket.
The Highland Dem0crat says this

IHe HtUltdHu OeHtOCTu says IIllS
THE STATESMAN is right in its views con-
cerning a certain class of men calling them
selves conservatives" but all 'Conserva-
tives" are not of the class alluded to. We
happen to know many "good men and
true" who once voted for Lincoln, who
have voted their last Abolition ticket -
They will sustain the President and vote
for his friends and supporters, in future,
with a free good will, and determination
to adhere firmly to the great and good
cause of the Union and the Constitution !;
and to that class of men we confidently
look for the overwhelming majorities that
will everywhere be given to the Democrat
ic ticket at the October election.
The Democrats should, everywhere, cut
loose from all demagogues and time-serving
politicians and cleave to slch men and
principles as will bear the test of time. eth
er in prosperity or in adversely. That is
the true doctrine.

The Cincinnmti commercial In
v~C digmnmt.

Indignation, when INDUCED in on proper
occasions, may be a good thing; but when
not thus INDUCED in, it is anything but a
good thing. On Friday, the Cincinnati Com
merciql had a. fit of indignation over the call
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee for a State Convention. 1t
don't suit that journal. 1t protests that it
is beginning in the wrong way;" that it
don't present the issue as it is; that there
is no such issue as it sets forth; that even
the impracticable Radicals in Congress do
not swish that all the powers of Govern
ment shall be concentrated in the hands of
the General Government, and that the
States shall be reduced to the condition OF
counties"
The objection Of the Commercial is, per-
haps, after all, not so much to the language
of the call as to the fact that the Dem
ocratic party has had the temerity to issue.
through their authorized Committee, a call
at all. This is the grave offense. There is
nothing in the call that in the least con-
fiets with anything that President
JOHNSON has said in his recent ad-
dresses. 1t is, simply, aflirmatory OF
what he has said. Before the country,
he has arraigned THADDEUs STEvENs,
CHARLES SUMNER, WENDELL PHILLIPS and
that class of politicians, with the purpose
of f,subyerting our form OF Government
with aiming to establish a consolidated or
centralized Government. This, President
JOHNSON says, should be as strongly resist
ed as though its accomplishment were
sought to be brough6 about by military
force, instead of through the forms of leg
islation. In this the Democracy of Ohio
agree with the President. They have,
therefore, raised aloft the standard of the
Constitution, and call upon all lovers of
that instrument and of the Union to rally
to its support as against the Radical Dis
unionists and Reyolutionists. The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee have faith
fully and bluntly presented the issue. Its
not probable, either, that the Commercial,
in its stool-pigeon role of conservative for
the Radicals, will be very successful in de-
ludfng any considerable portion Of the peo-
pie into contrary belief.

sioro,n the Washington special Of the
Balthnore SEN, Is quite q reliable cores

writes that movement is on foot among
the Republicans in Congress to cut loose

they shall hold the patronage of the Gov

ALiveIv Race.

As a gentleman was crossing High street,
at Broad, yesterday evening, the wind lifted
his hat from his head, and rolled it down
High street rapidly, after which the gentle
man made chase, and, undoubtedly, inward
ly offering up inverted prayers. For a
couple of minutes the race was lively be-
tween the gentleman and his hat.
