A stampede from the Democratic camp
has commenced. The trenchant letter of
p. III. Shelby, the member of the Califor-
MIA Democratic State Committee, who has
rcpudiated tho Tammany nominees, and
pronounced for Grant and Colfax, will de-
termine the course of all war Democrats
in the Golden stae. They viii be. found

Novel Alphabet for the
fEIinfi.

Carpeater, a missionary al Harpoot, In
Eastern Turkey, now on visit to his folks
in Maine, appealed in one Of tic local pa
pers for the means Of purchasing large
supply of carpet tacks which he wanted to
use in preparing books for the blind, OF
whom there are many among the Armen-
JAMS in his field
There are no books in raised letters by
which these poor blind can be taught TO
read, and for substitute these tacks arc
used in very ingenious way, for winch
the structure of the Armenian language al
fords facilities, as the alphabet contains
thirty-eight letters, each having definite
sound.
The use of the tack alphabet is thus ex-
planned by Mr. Carpenter in one OF his let
tiers:
"A very small round topped tack is put
upright into a pine board, representing the
first letter. The same tack inclined to The
top. represents the second; and leaning to
the bottom, the right hand and the left by
turns, the next three. For the next four
letters one side of the tack is then cut oil,
and the cut portion made to face by turns
the top. bottom. right and left hand. The
half headed tack inclined 10 tie tep, the
bottom. and right and left hand, again 10y
turns represents the next four letters Is
seniially the same course is then pursued
with the next two styles OF tacks, and al
phabet is ready. Other sorts of iacks and
variations of them, thenfuTnish points FOR
punctuation and the numerals, and with
good supply of tacks and piece OF soft
pine board for page, we arc ready to
write chapter of the Bible or hymn for
a blind reader whose sensitive fingers will
soon learn to run along the line OF ireG and
copper with almost as much speed and as
surance as arc ours in reading the printed
page. The page once committed to men,
ory or the tacks withdrawn, and ike type
can be used for printing another page. In
this way, two or three dollars worth OF
tacks may be made available for printing
all the chapters ofihe Bible and the hymns
of the hymn book, or anything else which
is needed
Mr. Wheeler has received nearly one
hundred dollars in contributions for the
purchase of his taeks, which arc to be
sold TO those who use them, and tie pro-
cceds kept TO purchase fresh supplies as
needed II is found that the Orientals
have but little appreciation of gratuitous
fayers. a gift in the East rather awakening
unworthy suspicious rs TO the motives OF
the giver Those who think of missiona-
ries as men employed in . dull routine OF
teaching the people unintelligible dogmas
or bigoted forms, will find foed for tho
in this little description, if not for admira-
ton of the pious zeal which consecrates
genius to the welfare of the most iorlon
| of classes. i-lf

The scenery on the eastern side of the
Sierra Nevada mountains presents q stri-
king contrast TO that upon the western side.
Crossing the Sierras from California the
character Of the scenery and the mountains
suddenly changes. The forests disappear
as ifby magic, and grass gives place to sage
brush. The landscape wears sallow, un-
wholesome look, as if a sudden blast had
blown from the valley of death and with
cred everything. No more soft yerdsre,
no more noble pines, no more health inspi-
ring breezes. Some Oft geological phe-
nomena OF the valley are strange beyond
description. The rocks have the appear
ance OF lava thrown up out OF the earth
In some instances they rise in columnated
masses, hundreds Of feet high, shutting out
the view and contracting the valley to
gorge few hundred yards wide Again
they rccede in gentle slopes until the val
ey widens into an undulating beautiful
plain.

the following excellent parody upon Abou
Ben Adcn's dream. and commend i, to al
Seymourites.
Horatio Seymour; (may his troubles cease,)
Awoke one night from dreams Of fear, not peace;
And saw within the darkness Of his room,
All deep and dark with murky CLIO
An angel writing in a book of BRASS
OF things,that were to come to pass.
So to the angel in his room he said:
ssWhat writest thou?' The angel raised his head,
And with marvellous look Of prophecy
Said: "The names of Presidents 70 be-
"Ani is mine cne," asked Seymour, f" Nay, not 50
The Angel said. Then Seymour 'gau To blow,
Amp rudely said: "I pray thee, then.

The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
He came with all dazzling light,
And showed tho names the peoples voice had blest,
And 10. GRANTS name led all the rest.

home in disgust, it win not be diff
cult to demonstrate how the failure

elusive evidence of the desperation of

where. If the Democracy had thus
attempted to impose upon the good

BEGGING DEMOCRATIC VOTES.

ETwo or three of the Republican can
didates for county Offices are besieging
Democrats for their votes this fall,
under the plea that they are poor,
and deserve the commiseration of
Democrats. Let Democrats remem-
Der that these same fellows would, if
they had the power, expel from Off
cial position every Democrat in the
county; and that no argument would
induce nj them, under any circum-
stances, to cast a vote for a Democrat.
There is not one man upon the Re-
publican ticket, that does not despise
the very name of Democrat, and who
thinks that a negro any time, is better
than those who support u ticket
This is a contest for liberty and our
ancient form of government. and ey-
cry Democrat, that out of sympathy,
splits his ticket, casts that vote for ne
gro suffrage in Ohio, and negro rule
in the South. Stand by your own
party and its candidates, and let the
principles of which you are the advo-
Gates prevail; and let the abolition
amalgamation party vote their. own
ticket, and take the consequences.
Sympathy bestowed upon those who
are trying to enslave the people by a
remorseless system of taxation, is like
casting pearls in the mud. Be not
deceived.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN OHIO.

The abolition stumpers contend
that, although, the people of Ohio
last year, cast a majority of owe
10000 votes against negro suffrage
the question is not put to rest, and
remains open until the matter OF
amending the State Constitution shall
be submitted to the people in 1871.
Gov. Hayes, in his inaugural ad-
dress last winter said:
Notwithstanding the proposition
was hampered with other issues, it
received PIG, 987 votes, or nearly for
ty-fve per cent. of all the votes cast
In the State. This result shows great
progress in public sentiment since
the adoption of the Constitution of
1851, and inspires the friends of
equal political rights with a confident
hope that in 1871, when the oppor-
tunity is given to the people by the
provisions of the Constitution, to
call a Constitutional Convention, the
organic law of the State will be so
amended as to secure in Ohio, to all
the governed, an equal voice in the
government"
So, Gov. Hayes, the advocate of
negro suffrage, will doubtless urge on
next that negroes are yet to
be voters in Ohio, and that our
state will, at some future period. be
the Elysium of the "woolly heads
and thick skulls" of the African race
with whom Gov. Hayes and others
of his kith and kin intend to asso-
ciate in the Government.

BE ON YOUR GUARD.

In two weeks, the result of the DC.
tober election will be known in Ohio.
1t il important then, that the Democ-
racy throughout the county should
give the utmost attention to the pres
emit canvass, that no unfair influences,
on the part of the opposition, may
mislead and defeat the will of the peo-
pie. Heretofore, the Abolition party
has not hesitated to import, under
n pretense and another, a few days
before the fall election, a large num-
Der of ILLEGAL VOTERS from the Re
serve, and elsewhere, to vote at our
elections. 1t viii be well for our peo-
pie to make q note of the arrival of
carpet-baggers and strangers in every
neighborhood, that illegal votes may
be prevented. That our readers may
know the law on the subject, we APP
pend q synopsis of the Statute regula-
ting elections in this State.
The law provides that no person
shall vote who has not been
An actual resident of the State for
one year next preceding the election /;
An actual resident of the county
for thirty days next preceding the
election;
An actual resident of the township.
incorporated village, or ward of a
city or village, twenty days next
preceding the election ;
Except that the head @atamHy, who
has complied with the first two re-
quirements, is permitted to remove
from one ward to another, or from one
township to another township, or from
q township to. ward, or oice eersa,
within the required twenty days, when
it is not q municipal election.
The election takes place on the 18th
of October. A residence in the coun-
ty must have already commenced. A
in q Ward or Township
must have commenced on the. 23rd
inst, or the vote will be illegal.
Remember this, and go and see
your neighbors; and have every vote
Mt the polls; and victory will reward
your efforts.

Reasons why Hon. L. r, CritchfieId
shouidbe elected to Congress from
the 18th District,

He is IN favor of equal taxation
upon property of every species, in
proportion 20 its actual worth, wheth.
er bonds, greenbacks, money, credits
or real estate, that justice may be
done all classes of tax payers, and
each pay according to the value of
his property. =
He is the advocate of one currency
for all, the bloated bondholder, as
well as, the laboring masses; and
while the latter are compelled to take
greenbacks for their produce, labor
and pensions, he deems it just that
the former shall take them for their
bonds.
He believes that white men are su-
perior, intellectually, to the black and
hybrid races, and is therefore, oppos-
ed to negro suffrage, negro equality
meseegenation and negro rule in Ohio,
OF any other State in this Union ;
and will antagonize that doctrine
whenever and wherever presented.
He is in favor of the immediate res
toration of the Southern States to all
their rights in the Union and for the
admission eff their Senators and Rep
resentatives upon the same conditions
as those of the other States, that
equality in the Union, may be main
tanned in the spirit of the old consti-
tuition.
He is the unfinching advocate of
the preservation of u public lands
for actual settlers, instead of donating
them to rotten corporations, and huge
land monopclies and rail road sEind-
