days.
EWlNG.-On Saturday, November 7th,
1865, Patrick Ewing, at his residence in
this county, in the 18th year of his age,
after painful illness from paralysis
which confined him to his bed for sixteen
months
He was the youngest and last surviving
member of large family of brothers and
sisters reared at the old homestead (Which
was inherited by the deceased and where
he resided till his DEATH but who emigra-
ted to the west at an early day in the his
tory OF Kentucky and Missouri, settling on
the frontiers, where the log cabin of the
back-woodsman and the wigwam of the In
dian were found in close proximity to each
other, and where the deadly rifle and scalp
ing knife were often the arbitors between
the opposing races.
Cprghtness and honesty were the
crowning virtues of the deceased, to whose
memory as father of the writer and last
connecting link with the past this brief
tribute is due.

The December number of the atlantic
Monthly completes the twenty-second vol
Tune Of that popular magazine. John Neal,
certainly the patriarch of American maya
zine contributors, for he had powerful ar
ticles in Blaekssoods five and fortyyears ago,
opens with the first portion of series of
papers ON "Our Painters" and gives per-
sonal recollections of Gilbert Stuart, Rem
brandt Peale, and John Wesley Jarvis
Then Algeron Swinburne has written a
poem for the atlantic. It is entitled " "A
Watch in the Night, a." and consists of nine
teen nine-line stanzas-less diffuse, and
therefore more terse, than his ordinary
productions, want of concentration being
his great fault, "Our Paris Letter." con-
tanning charming domestic story of ad-
venture and love, is very good. Mr.. Whip
pie, more swo discusses and discriminates
the merits of "the judicious" Hooker
Glimpses of Italy, past and present, are
given in "a Gothic Capital" by Theodore
Bacon, and "a Day at Consulate" by
o. M. Spencer. There is a further exposi-
ton of "Co-operative Housekeeping, Ia
practical and sensible article,) and E. E.
Hale, author of "The Man without Coun-
try" gives, under the very undeclarative
title of I" The First and Last" q conden-
sed history Of the slave trade, from the
Elizabethan time of Sir John Hawkins, the
English kidnapper, to the execution of
Captain Gordon, in the waters of New
York, on conviction for slave-trading dur
ing Mr.. Lincoln's presidency. The story
called the "Face in the Glass " is here con-
cluded. Lastly, there are some stanzas Of
great merit, entitled "Autumnal."

Head of Elk Mills.-Thcre is probably no
more business-like or enterprising firm in
Elkton, than that of Hill, Harlan & Co.,
the proprietors and operators of these mills.
Within about three years, we believe, since
the above manufacturing establishment has
been in their hands, they have established
an extensive and remunerative business,
doing at least six times the amount ever
done by any other parties i'll whose charge
the mills have been. Day and night has
the mcnotonous hum of the wheels been
heard, so that the machinery was taxed to
the utmost to meet the demands of bust
ness; but the capacity of the grist mill has
proved too limited, and workmen are now
engaged in tearing out the old machinery
and replacing it by new, among which are
three Of the improved turbine water wheels
two IN the grist mill and one in the saw
mill. These, with the other additional
machinery, will SO increase the manufac-
turing capacity Of the mills, as to enable
them to meet fully the heavy demands of
their large and increasing business. Here
tofore they have been unable to do so, es-
pecially the demand for -four When they
resume operations, the grist mill will be
capable of turning out one hundred barrels
of flour per day!
In connection with these mills, the firm
has also established, recently, lumber
yard, adjoining the mills, thus enabling
them to farnish, entire, all the lumber
needed for building.
Messrs. Hill and Alexander, of the firm,
have also added much to the improvement
of that part of the town, by the erection
of two large and neat dwellings, since they
have been there.

An OLD FoGY.-Judge Robinson, the
Chief Judge of this Judicial District, ap-
pears to hold some very antiquated ideas of
right and wrong, not in accordance with
the progressive spirit" of the age. For
instance, the Judge thinks that offic-hold-
ers should act honestly, and should be pun
ished for doing otherwise, as appears from
the record Of Kent County Circuit Court:
State VS.. Edward Comegys and Thomas
R. Vickers, indicted for conspiring to take
illegal fees from Isaac Gale, and for NAL
feasance in Office. Verdict, guilty. Judg-
ment of the Court, that the parties be re-
moved from Office and fined $25 and costs.
When was such thing ever heard of be-
foreP Do the annals Of American juris-
prudence anywhere bear duplicate of this
record? Reflection will doubtless convince
Judge Robinson that such proceedings as
the above Judgment of the Court" how
ever just, are nevertheless impracticable,
as it would be very embarrassing, and would
"clog the wheels of government" to have
the major portion of the Offices in the coun-
try made vacant, even by the mandate of a
just judge.-S, Michders Comet.

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

The movement in favor of universal suf-
frage is silently but powerfully stirring the
hearts Of the people, and bearing them on
ward like resistless spiritual tide. Even
the negro hating democrat is now heard to
speak in half apologize manner Of man
hood suffrage. That the colored man, who
is no longer slave, but citizen, and who
has proved himself worthy of that proud
title by freely shedding his blood in the
cause of his country, should be clothed with
all the privileges and rights Of citizenship
in eleven of the Southern States and de-
MED it in Kentucky, Maryland, and Della
ware, is such an absurdity, that even the
former most bitter enemies of the cause
perceive the anomaly which cannot last
long without creating confusion, and bring
ing the contempt of the whole world on our
government. The principle that govern
ment should be able to guarantee full and
perfect protection to every one of its citi-
zens at home and in foreign countries, has
always been looked upon as one of the
most indispensable requisites of govern
ment which claimed to rank among the first
powers of the world.
The sovereign power of republic flows
from the people, and is made manifest alone
by their exercise Of the ballot. No man
can claim full and complete citizenship who
is denied the exercise of that one essential
to citizenship, the right of franchise. So
long as he is denied this, he is under the
ban Of the law, being subject to it without
having a voice in its enactment. No man
has, or can have, full and complete pro-
lection who is denied this fundamental
right of citizenship.
Congress should, as we doubt not it will,
this winter, early move in this matter of vi
tai Importance, and propose fifteenth ar
ticle to the constitution which shall declare
that no citizen shall be deprived of the
right of suffrage on account Of color, race
or previous condition. This will at once
fix the ''status" of the negro which has
been the cause of so much strife and misery
in this country, by declaring him a man,
and clothed with all the rights and privi-
leges of manhood, which justice, common
sense, and republican form of government
demand. The negro will then be taken
out of politics as speciality, and having
none of his rights withheld from him by
government, he will become his own mas
ter and protector, and relieve the white
politicians-particularly the democratic
politicians-from that world of trouble and
anxiety they have had in taking care of
him.

JACOB ScHEETz, Esq.-My Dear Sir: some
eight months ago, when suffering from great
nervous prostration, the result of exposure
and overtasked energies, I was induced by
you IAN old friend) to take as tonic your
celebrated Bitter Cordial and so agreeably
have been its beneficial effects,
that annot refrain from thus bearing testi.
mony in its favor. As q beverage, it is as
pleasant and delightful as glass of rich
dark brown sherry; as an appetizer before
meals, perfectly magical; and as digester
Of food, the most potent compound I ever
knew. Altogether, I consider it one of the
happiest combinations of medicinal herbs
ever offered to the public as curative.

DEMOCRATIC DELUSION.

A candid observer of political events for
the past half dozen years, can scarcely de-
termine whether to laugh at the folly, or
pity the mental obscurity, of the followers
of the rebel cause, now that it has sunk
into irretrievable ruin, by the total defeat of
its last attempt to revive the Lost cause"
under the lead of Seymour and Blair
Ridicule, SANDER, and the lowest species of
defamation, having failed, like the rebel
army, to defeat Grant, the men who but a
few weeks ago used them most freely, are
now heard on all sides INDUCING the fond
hope, and ever venturning the confident
prediction, that President Grant will act like
Andy johnson, and turn in opposition to
the Republican party, and take the "Dem-
ocrats " to his embrace. The highest at
tributes of craftsmanship, in the minds of
that miserable party, appear to consist in
treachery, falsehood, and deception. A be-
trayal Of friends and principles and every
thing public man has before held sacred,
for the sake of rewarding his enemies, and
the enemies Of his country, appear to be
the distinguishing marks Of greatness and
craftsmanship acknowledged by the rebel
party.
What they can conceive to be lovely and
Of good report in the defunct democratic,
rebel party that should tempt Gen. Grant
away from the simple paths of duty which
he has, in spite of their efforts, persisted in
80 steadily following, is mystery to all
except, perhaps, themselves. Andy John
sons fate would be likely to serve as
warning to less pure and more ambitious
man than General Grant. Andy johnson,
the man who had honors thrust upon him
by the loyal people Of the land, and who
manifested his base and corrupt nature by
the woe and misery his wicked ambition
has prolonged in the rebel States, was de-
spised by the very rebels he stopped so low,
and sacrificed his good name and fame to
serve, is not very inviting example to fol-
low. And yet we find the foolish and blind
leaders Of the blind democracy, predicting,
hopefully, that Grant will be their second
Andy johnson. Vain hope! Andrew is
the last of his line. His woful conclusion
insures him against all imitators.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

We see by a notice published by Lucy
Stone, President of the Woman Suffrage
Association of New Jersey, that the
"strong minded women have again taken
the field, and are preparing for active SER
vice. Petitions are to be circulated for
signatures, and Congress is to be besieged
to move in the matter of giving the sex an
equal chance with men in the political
field.
The suffrage ladies are not disposed to
be laughed down, and joked out of their
demand for the ballot by the Chords of ere
alton" No reason that is worthy of the
name has ever yet been given by the oppo-
nents of woman suffrage, and it is fair to
infer that none can be given. Wherever
woman's influence has been felt it has al
ways exercised purifying and enrolling
power. And if anything stands more i'll
need of publication than our politics, we
have not heard oft. The appalling frauds,
the immortality, debauchery, bribery and
every species of corruption which have
crept into our elections, call loudly for re-
forms and publication, and let the remedy
come from what quarter it may, it should
not be rejected by those who seek to re-
form those gross abuses and immoral prac-
tees which at the present time make poll
tics reproach. Any just measures that
will tend to add heavily too the popular
vote will be powerful protection against
fraud.
But the simple fact that woman has i'll
variably ennobled and purified wherever
she has been allowed to exert her moral
power, is a strong argument in favor of
admitting her to the ballot. Aside from
this view of the question, however, her de-
mand is founded in justice. Her average
intelligence is equal to that of her mascu-
line companions. She is equally
armenable to the laws; she holds
property of her own right, and is al
lowed the sole disposal of it, the same as
the other sex-this was not always so-and
who would now think of depriving her of
that right, even though she be married
Yet it's but little while since she enjoyed
it. She is liable to sue and be sued and
taxed by the State on the same footing
with man. If all these high prerogatives
are already accorded her, why seek to
withhold the very foundation Oh which
they rest? The simple truth is, there is
no reason for it, only custom, and the
sooner the senseless custom is abolished
and woman allowed to enjoy what is clear
ly the right of every citizen of republic,
the elective franchise, the better it will be
for our whole system of government. AS
her refinining and enrolling influence has
expelled the coarsest and most revolving
abuses from the social sphere, so will her
presence serve to purify the murky politi-
ical atmosphere, and give a more healthy
tone to political morals, purity and justice
to our laws.

Lectures, Etc.-A general complaint
among our citizens in past years, has been
the dearth of any kind of intellectual ell
tertainment. The shabby old Courthouse
invited only the poorest kind of strolling
MINISTRIES. Now that we have fine Hall
large, convenient and pleasant, both for
speaker and audience, there seems to be no
longer any excuse for this complaint. TAX
ing up this idea, a committee of gentle
men, connected with the Odd Fellows Hall,
have entered into negotiations with some of
the most eminent Lecturers and Readers i'll
the country. In a short time they expect
to publish a course of Lectures, Readings
and Concerts, running through the entire
Winter. They have already made a posi-
tive engagement with Hon. Horace Greeley,
of THE Neeo York Tribune, who will lecture
at the Odd Fellows Hall, Elkton, on Mon
day evening, Dec. 18th. Subject" Self
made men," We are sure that the house
will be crowded. Mr.. Greeley is now uni
versally acknowledged to be one of the
ablest writer's in the country. The subject
announced is one upon which he is pecu-
liarly qualified to speak, and we hazard
nothing in promising rich treat. The
lecture particularly commends itself to the
young men.
