the presidential party stopped at a station
near Pittsburg, an aged negro, riding on a
mule, came up, and taking off his hat, ad-
dressed the President as Z Massa johnson, .

*Members of the Thirty-ninth Congress.
There is room for great gains in. Ohio, as il
the existing Congress the Democrats had sonl,
two members from that State.
In Pennsylvania, great yigor is displayed on
both sides. A governor is to be chosen, and
this circumstance always draws out a full vote
in Pennsylvania. The candidates Clymer
Democrat and Conservative and Gfeary rad
ieal and Republican are representative men
OF the EXTREMIST portions of their respective
parties. If Clymer, who was. an ant-war
Democrat, should beat Geary, who was a gen
eral in the federal army, it would be a most
remarkable result
Three years ago, Governor Curtin carried
the State by 1926 majority in 1861, Lin
coins majority was 50, 618, which was reduced
to p, 986 at the election for surveyor general

The States which hold elections next month
are Indiana, Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania
In 1860 Indiana voted for Lincoln by ma
jority of 5000 over all other candidates. In
1862 it went Democratic but, in 1864, under
the pressure of extraordinary influences and
expedients, it voted for lincoln again by
about 10000 majority There is strong
Democratic and State rights feeling in Indi-
ana; and there are likewise symptoms of
conservative reaction in the Republican party.
The anti-radicals feel confident of carrying
majority of thea congressional delegation.
There is no governor to be elected this year,
but a State ticket is to be chosen, consisting
of secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, at
torney general and superintendent of public
instruction.

The Seventh District though given above
as having elected Democrat Congressman, is
now represented by Il. D. Washburn (Rep.),
Hon. D. W. VOORHEES, having been ousted
from his seat by the present radical Congress-
1t will be seen that, of the actual delegation
the Democrats elected three members, and
that in three others, they were beaten by less
than thousand in each. 48
In Ohio, there is lively contest, and the

Last year General Cox (Rep. was elected
governor by a majority of $4,000, against a

Is A DEATH BED MARRIAGE LEGAL ,

IS DEATH BED MARRIAGE LEGAL
AN interesting case is now pending
in the Circuit Court, involving some
nice points of law 10 relation to the
solemuization of the marriage cere-
mony. Some years since prominent
citizen, Mr.. andrew Fuqua, died pos
sessessed >sof considerable property.
BY his will his wife by u second mar.
riage came into possession of all his
property, in case she remained a
widow. At her death, if she remained
unmarried, tho property would revert
to her husbands relatives If she
married however, one half ofthe prop
erty was to be hers, to be disposed of
as she might think proper. Mrs. F.
was hopelessy i'll with lung disease,
and two days before her death she was
induced by her brother to marry, that
she might thus acqnrc the title in fee
simple to half the property, which she
could then deed TO her own relatives,
isstead of allowing her husbands
heirs to inherit it.
Her brother had been q captain in
ono of the Indiana regiments, and in
duced one of his soldiers to play the
part of husband in he deathbed mar
riage, in consideration of five hundred
dollars paid down. The arrangement
was made, the purchase money paid
over, and the dying woman, unable to
sit up in her bed, was married to. the
hearlless adventurer, who could thus
make merchandise and a mockeTy of
the most solemn sacrament recognized
in the civilized world; tho ceremony
was performed by a minister of this
city, who, it would seem could not be
altogether ignonaDt of the transaction.
AT any rate, the husband, after the
ceremony, left the house and went on
a spree with his five hundred dollars,
and never saw his wife any more, who
died two days afterward. He never
slept under her roof The action was
brought by Mr.. Fuqua's relatives to
contest the validity of the marriage.
The best legal talent is employed on
both. sides, and tho case will un
doubtedly prove one of great interest
TO the public as well as the legal fraler.
nity-Indianopolis Herald.
In regard to the above, while we
claim no legal knowledge, we are
clearly of opinion that had the mar.
riage not been mere mockery, it
ought to stand, and that upon the
point of it's realness only, can the
question of the legality be decided.
Had it been capable Of proof, for
instance, that from the antecedents o.
the parties there was affection between
them it's taking place at the death.bec
would have made it even more holy
And again the will left matter o
property at the option ofthis woman
and she chose to marry = Ed.
