Wade Hampton, notorious rebel
was a delegate to the New York Con
vention. At an alumni supper o.
Gen. Lees Washington College ht
proposed to a toast as follows, as re
ported in the Richmond Dispatch:
Abiding most touchingly to oul
martyred dead, he said that Oul
grief should be tempered as we re
Hembered that they fell when they
thought they would not fall in vain
that they fell in the bright hope thai
success would crown our efforts
But he did not believe they had faller
IN vain the cause for which Jackson
and Stuart fell cannot be in vain, but
in some form would yet triumph
He proposed the "Lost cause,' fol
which our heroes fell. This was
drunk silently and solemnly by all
and in looking around we observed
that nearly all present were Confed.
crate soldiers.
In view of the above We can see
why the rebels in the New York Con
vention were so anxious for the nom
ihation of Blair. His letter indicates
to them that if the Democratic party
is successful the Lost Cause will be
regained.

For Democratic President in 1872
Geo. III. Pendleton.
We suggest that the Democratic
papers put that at the head of their
editorial columns, just over their
Presidential ticket and let it stand
till 1872. By doing that there will
be possibility of getting Young
Greenbacks nominated at that time,
and some of the dissatisfied Demec
racy will vote for him, thinking that
the ticket below is q gag.

The rebels from the South in the
New York Convention nominated
Frank Blair. They knew that Sey-
mour was inclined to insanity and
expected if he became insane Blair
would take his place and proceed at
once to declare the Reconstruction
acts null and void, and use the army
to overthrow them. They expect
Blair to bring the "Lost Cause" to
life.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-07-24

The Courier says that Frank Blai.
is heart and soul with the Democracy
against the revolutionary schemes OF
Congress. Frank says there is no way
to break down the Reconstruction
acts of Congress, but for the Demo
cratic President to declare them null
and void and use the army TO over
throw them. Perhaps Frank and the
Courier think this Congress an illegal
one and as a consequence their acts
illegal. II they do, We differ, and
consider any one taking that ground
an idiot, a fool, knaye, or insane.

WHY THEY woULDTAx THEM

At Democratic meeting In Balti-
more, after the Democratic National
Convention, the Governor elect oil
Maryland, Thomas T. Bowie, spoke
as follows regarding taxing the
bonds:
"If there be any class of men ]
would sooner tax, it would be those
men who furnished the means to car
ry on the most unhOly, wicked and
cruel war in history. Applause.
would not tax them as property
but / would, because loan read upon
the face of. these bonds a contribu
ton to an unholy and wicked pur
pose"
That is showing the hand to some
/ purpose. That plainly indicates why
the Democracy are so anxious to ia,
bonds. 1t is because they "car
read upon the face of these bonds {,
contribution TO an unholy and wicked
purpose" That is fact because du
ring the war the Democracy-includ
ing white-handed Seymour-denOunc
ed the war as an unhOly and wicked
crusade against the dearest rights o.
man, and tried 10 prevent success,
full termination of it. Now they pro
pose to tax bonds TO. punish those
who furnished portion of the means
to carry on the war. Bowie explains

1t is said that HOratio Seymour
fears that at some time he may be
insane. as insanity is hereditary in
his family. If this is the case he is
not just the man to run for President
Certainly the Democracy present a

fact is overlooked that, in order to
make any saving by giving the bond
holder debased or worthless paper,
we must bring upon ourselves disas-
ter and dishonor which will cost an
hundred fold what we can save. 1t
means that We are to give to the la
borer for his toll a base currency. II
means that the honor of our country
must be stained. 1t means that ouI
business shall be kept in uncertainty
and confusion. 1t means that the
llaboring man shall suffer by the in
creased costs of the comforts of life
1t means that the taxpayer shall be
burdened by government proved
to be corrupt and imbecile by tn,
very depreciation of Its money. W.
cannot afford to speculate upon til,
nations honor at so fearful a cost
| We know that when a dishonest mer
chant or a corrupt government wish
es to make large profit in speculating
on their own paper, they must dis
honor themselves as much as they
can.
Now how is it? The Courier says
Seymour is honest, patriotic, has
commanding talents and is a sound
statesman, but further says that il
be is elected the people will not be
taxed for the benefit of non-produc.
ing bondholders. If Seymour is not
in favor of running the financial In.
terests of the country, as he says, then,
if they could, it would be useless for
the Democracy to elect him and if he
is he will have to eat his own words.
Who shall we believe the statesman
of the Courier or Seymour?
1t takes its position upon the broad
grounds, that-''if greenbacks are
good enough for tie farmer, mechan-
ic, merchant, and soldier, who pays
taxes, they are good enough for the
bondholder, who pays no taxes.''
By this sign shall we conquer. Hur.
rah for Seymour and Blair, the rep
resentatives of the toiling masses OF
the cOuntry.-DemOeratie Papers.
All right, but yet Seymour says:
sit is a mistake to say that the in
terests of the bondholders and the
laboring man are antagonistic."
Again
"Of all the devices to cheat honest
labor, to paralyze, to degrade public
morals, and to turn business pur-
suits into reckless gambling, none
have been so hurtful as a shifting
standard Of value, and debased and
lying currency"
And again
''It is clear to every thoughtful
man that public safety, and honor
will not admit of our having two
kinds of currency fO- any length of
time. We must have a uniform cur
rency for all classes. = Shall
our currency be uniformly good or
uniformly bad? Are we to force the
hondholder to take bad money.
If your claims were all wiped out
to morrow by an issue of greenbacks
il would not relieve the fear of patri-
OTIS: labor would still be cheated by
false dollars, our standard of value
would still be shifting.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1868-07-24

In one plank of the Democratic plat
form the Democracy propose to pay
the bonds off in coin. In another
they propose to have "one currency
for the Government and the people
the producer and thu
bondholder.''
There is a slight discrepancy in
the two planks. If they have curren
cy for all, and that is to be green
backs, we don't see how a part ol
the bonds can be paid in gold. =

4 RErIA RK ABLE INCIDENT
Meeting of a Husband and Wife
After Forty Years Separation

From the springfield (ohio) nepublicl
Mrs. Susannah Durgin, a colored
woman of this city-familliarly
known as ssOld Mother Sukey''-is
now, as We are reliably informed, in
the I04th year Of her age. She is a
remarkably intelligent, active vigor-
Gus. old lady, and retains most of
her faculties in high degree of per
fection. She was married some go
years ago, in Kentucky, to a colored
man then a mere boy, being tw enty
six years younger than herself, and
both of them slaves, though on diff
ferent. plantations After twenty
years of their married life had pass
ed, they separated under the barbar-
Gus operation of the slave system,
the husband being sold to another
master, and taken to distant local
ity.
Forty years have since elapsed,
and during that period Mother Su-
key, was set free by her owner, with
all her children except one, That
one was George Durgin, who now
resides in this city, and is we'll
known by many ofour readers as an
attache of the Willis House. George
was retained by his master, but his
freedom also was subsequently pro-
cured by the efforts, we believe of
his Mother. She and number of
| her children came to this county
some years ago, and have lived here
ever since. But the husband, dur
ing all these forty years, has been
as one dead to his family. He re-
mained slave until the war struck
off his shackles. Quite recently he
came to this city, and few days
since the husband and wife, after a
total separation of forty years. met
at the National Hotel, where emo
ther Sukey" is a frequent visitor
and general favorite, as well as a
subject of much curiosity ON ac-
count of her extreme age.
Mother Sukey's eyesight is defect
i've, and she did not know her hus-
band at frst-as indeed many young
er people would not have done af-
ter forty years had wrought their
changes. When she was made ac-
quainted with aim, the scene which
occurred had in it the elements both
of pathos and humor. Mr.. Stay
man, the genial landlord of the Ma
tional, and the members Of his fam
lily, took some friendly pains to Gel
ebrate the meeting of the aged pair
setting table for them in the most
cosy and inviting style, and provid-
ing generous repast. The specta-
of this husband Of seventy eight
and wife of one hundred and foul
chatting together over their tea and
comparing their recollections of the
old days on the Kentucky planta
tions, was one to be witnessed rath-
er than described. The only distur-
bing element of the s'renuion," was
the fact that mother Sukey wanted
to do all the talking.
We believe that there is no doubt
of the age of this old colored wo-
man being correctly stated at over
103i years. She is, as far as we are
aware, the Oldest person living il
this portion Of the State.

Singular Alfalfa Man Dies
While Being Babtized.
From the st. Joseph (NIo) Gazette


By your permission, I report the
following case, with the attending
circumstances, as I learned them
from second parties who witnessed
the solemn scene: At babtism yes
terday, October Is, in the Platte riv
er, four miles from this place, the
ordinance was administered to sew
eral persons, among whom was Mr..
Stephens, Of Third Fork. After be
ing immersed, but while still in the
water, he wiped his hands few times
to free it Of water, threw head and
hands up, and fell backward into the
water, where upon his friends ran
quickly in and took him out upon
the bank, after which he died with
out a struggle. The people not
knowing what to do, and being I'M
prepared, there was, Isuppose. little
done to resuscicate him. After ta-
king him to the nearest house, l was
sent for, and two hours afterwards
l saw the corpse, and found his face
hands and arms cold, but there was
considerable warmth in the axillar
or arm pits Percussion elected a
good resonance over the chest, ex-
cept little dizziness in the lower
part of the righ lung. The heart
was still, and he was evidently dead
and I made no efforts to restore life
1 learned from his friends that he
had never had corvulsions or fits OF
any kind, and that he had been per
fectly healthy up to this time. After
he had been taken from the bank the
radial pulse could be easily felt. In
dying, there was little frothy mu-
Gus issued from the corner of his
month, but there was no stertoI
(snoring) in breathing or contortion
of the facial muscles.
Now what caused this mans death ?
Did water enter the bronchial tubes
in his efforts at inspir alton, in suffise
quantities to destroy life, or would
not tue spasmodic closure of the ri
ma glottadis upon the contact of the
water prevent this to any considera-
BILE extentS Besides, as remarked,
there was good chest sound or res
onance, under percussion, except in
tins lower part of the right lung.
Could apopleXy epilepsy cause his
death The usual signs of these
were absent-sterto and convulsive
movements of the muscles. Or Gao
his death be accounted for from the
physical shock of the nervous sys-
TEN, causing syncope or fainting-
Immediately after the immersion ?
This, taken in connection with the
disturbing influence that the small
amount of water that he may have
inhaled and swallowed, might have
had upon his mind and body, is the
most plausible explanation that /
can now give. A post mortem ex-
animation was refused.

The Effects of Smoking on Bows.

The Effects Of Smoking on Boys.
DR.. Decaisne (Bull, General de
Ther), in the course of investiga-
tons, has been struck with the large
number Of boys, aged from nine to
fifteen, who smoke, and has been
led to inquire into the connection of
this habit with impairment of the
general health. He has observed
thirty eight boys, aged from nine to
fifteen, who smoked more or less.
Of these distinct symptoms were
present in twenty seven. In twenty
two there were various disorders of
the circulation-6ruite de soa67e in
the neck, palpitation, disorders of
digestion, slowness of intellect, and
more or less marked taste for strong
drinks. In eight there was found
on examination more or less mark
ed diminution of the red corpuscles
in twelve there was rather frequent
epitaxis ten had disturbed sleep and
four had slight ulcerations of the
mucous membrane Of the mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from
the use Of tobacco for some days. In
children who are very well nour-
ished the disorder was, in general,
less marked. As to che ages, eight
of the boys were from nine to twelve
years old; nineteen from twelve to
fifteen. The duration of the habit
of smoking was in eleven from six
months to year, and in sixteen
more than two years. The ordina-
ry treatment of anemia in general
produced no effect as long as the
smoking was continued but, when
this was desisted from, health was
soon perfectly restored, if there was
no organic disease. British Ned
