A woman's Lovo-A Remarkable Case.

From the La Crosse Republican
One Of the strongest as well as one OF
the most remarkable cases of woman S
devotion has lately come to our ears that
we have ever known A young man who
was engaged to be married to a young
lady of a good family, in Dubuque, was
some time since sent to the penitentiary
for stealing. The lady was the only per
son who appeared to have any interest
in his release, aud single-handed and
alone she did everything in her power
to have him pardoned. For q long time
her efforts were of no avail, bat finally
she wrote Governor Stone that her all
depended upon the release of the young
msn-that she was engaged to be mar
ried 10 hln, and that unfortunately she
was in such condition that unless she
was allowed to msrry him that herself
and family would be disgraeed." By
this rgse she succeeded in accomplish
ing the desired end Under these cir
cumstances the Governor instructed the
Warden to let the young man go free
provided the young lady would marry
him before leaving the penitentiary,
which she did. 0ne Of the last boats up
the river brought the young couple home
TO DUBUQUE.

'Tha True policy.n y

The New York Herolds correspon-
dence with Gen. Steedman and FSller-
ton, says:
The contract system is great mistake,
wrong in principle, and unjust in prac-
tice. The true, obvious and only just
policy is to leave capital and labor to
adjust themselves according TO the law
of supply and demand The negro is a
necessity to the South Four thousand
miles Of travelling and four months of
close observation in seven Of the South
ern States convince me Of that fact.
The planter cannot do without him.
Wherever white labor has been tried in
the cotton and rice fields it has proved an
utter and ignomnious failure. On the
other hand, the planter is necessity to
the negro Nowhere can the negro find
a better market for his labor than an
cultivating the products of the Sunny
South. He is adapted .or the work and
for the climate. There is mutual de-
pendence and with fair and equal laws,
| am convinced that the negro can get
along much better without government
wet nursing than with it.

The Admission Of Tenuessee.

The Richmond TINES relates that when
the Magdalen establishment for unfor-
tunate women was first established in
Paris, an unprotected bS.t decent look
ing young woman, fresh from the pro-
yinees, applied for admission. She
represented herself as poor, friendless
and virtuous and wished TO escape within
the walls Of the asylum from the tempta-
tions of city life. The officials gravely
informed her, after mature considera-
ton that as Msgdalen establishments
we're for the reformation of the vicious,
her good character was a bar to her
admission. -- .r .. =.
The rejected applicant, instead Of
throwing herself into the Seine, cast
herself recklessly into the black vortex

General Sherman's Vote.

Ii will be remembered that Governor
Oglesby, of Illinois, at the meeting in
Salem, in Egypt, on the 4th instant,
called General Sherman a democrat TO
which the General promptly replied II

once in my life. The GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
Cou,iey tells this story Of the General
While on the grand march to the sea, u
fellow-otlicer one evening asked him for
whom he was going 10 vote. The Gen
eral replied that he should not vote; he
had voted hut once, and then he disfran
chsed himself. Such looks of wonder
aud incredulity &c this produced may be
imagined, bot the General paying no at
tention thereto, proceeded Il never
voted for President but once in my life,

rare poetic genius, and the author of
that singularly interesting book, The
Lost Prize, work that propounds
one of the most wonderful problems in
history. His only son, young man OF
great promise, was killed in the late war,
so that Mrs. Hanson is now left with

every moment to her aged mother.

months of immoral life again appeared
at the door of the Magdalen,' and with
bold eye, loud, hoarse voice and brazen

A Federal Generals Estimate Of the CouI
age and Character OF the South.

Gen. F. P. Blair, in conservative
Union speech at st. Louis, few days
ago, paid the following compliment to the
Southern States:
They have evinced courage and enda'
rance; BY their gallantry and by their
long suffering in this cause, so mistaken,
and so erroneous, and so criminal they
have shown themselves TO be the equals
Of an equal number OF any men upon
God Almightys globe, lApplause. ]
Those who have coDtended against them
are those who are readiest 10 admit that
they have shown themselves to be the
equals of any other people in the world.
[ [Applause. Not only have they shown
themselves ready to admit that these men
are their equals, but they have shown
themselves readiest to overlook the past,
and forget what there is need of forget
ting and to receive these mep back in
to the Government pih altNthe rights
and dignity of their respective States
unimpdired, simply requiring from them
upon the pledge which they will give,
that they will renew their allegiance to
the Government of the United States.
