OUR CITY.

At no time within the recollection of
that venerable individual y'clept the
" oldest inhabitant" has there been
such marked evidence of prosperity, as
at present. The long Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber which the g old Borough" las
it was designated III years gone by in
dulged in, having, it would seem, but
prepared it upon awakening, for MAX
ing most astonishing strides on the
road to prosperity and power. A stroll
through our streets to day would give
the stranger the opinion that this was
indeed live place, and, that nowhere
within fifty miles Of New York, could
money be more proftably invested
than here. In every street in the city
new buildings are being erected, and
" from early morn to dewy eve' the
clang of the carpenters hammers, and
the ring of the masons trowel salutes
the ear. Broad street is fast becoming
a solid avenue of stores, those finished
occupied, and those under way all en-
gagged, thus indicating that those who
are seeking our beautiful city as a
pleasant place of residence, intend to
patronize its merchants and shop-keep-
ers, thus giving a double impetus to the
growth of the place.
We can truly say that a more advan-
tageous place for the residence of those
doing business in New York, is not to
! be found. When to the natural beau
ties of the place we add the many I'M
portant improvements in the shape of
well paved and well lighted streets, %
perfect system of sewerage and all the
other modern inventions necessary for
comfortable abiding place, we have q
place as nearly perfect as may be, and
to crown the whole, we have frequen-
cy and facility of intercourse with
New York such us is enjoyed by no
other place. Taking these various mat
ters into consideration it is no wonder
that all the available building sites in
the city and vicinity are being rapidly
taken up and improved. The demand
for dwellings and stores is steadily
increasing, and we are rapidly advanc-
ing to take our position as the first city
in the State. But there is one thing
in which we are deficient and that is,
small, but neat and comfortable Gotta
ges for the use of our mechanics and
laboring men. Of this class OF build
ings the supply is not nearly equal to the
demand. We have no doubt that 200 Of
this class of buildings could be rented
as soon as completed. Let us have fol-
the occupation of the class of people
we refer to, neat and comfortable de-
tached buildings, and ignore the sys
tom of tenement houses that are ply
steal and moral evil wherever they are
introduced. Will not some of our cap
) italists and owners of real estate taxi
) this matter into serious consideration.

The Famine I'm AIgeria-Fearfu
9uHerfngs of the arabs

There are now, in our city, two French
Missionaries, Revs. A. Millot and S. Coy,
sent out by the Archbishop of Algiers to-
collect some money for the Mussulman,
Arabs of this vast archdiocese, who are
perishing in thousands and tens of thous-
ands for want of food. They have also
quite recently leen visited by cholera, so
that pestilence and famine. seem to have
combined for their destruction. Although
these poor people are not of his own flock,
the good archbishop is filed with COM
passion for their sufferings; and, after ex-
hausting all his own limited means for
their relief, has sent some of his priests to
Europe-especially France, his own coun-
try-some to America, to appeal to the
common feeling of humanity, in behalf OF
this terribly afflicted race. The Archbish-
op writes as follows:
ltis in fact famine, with all its horrors,
that is decimating the native population,
already so scourged by the Iavages OF
cholera. Two years of drought, and the
devastation of myriads of grasshoppers,
have exhausted all their resources. For
many months q great number of Arabs
have been living on the grass of the fields
or the leaves of the trees, which they eat
like cattle: and now january, when an
unusually severe winter has set in, their
exhausted bodies can hold out no longer;
they are literally dying of hunger. They
are seen almost naked, hardly covered
with rags, wandering in troops on the
highways. in the vicinity of towns, whence
it has been necessary to remove them by
force in order to avoid disorders of every
kind; they are seen waiting for the carts
that remove carrion from the towns, to
seize and devour the wretched prey. They
even root up the buried carcasses of ami
mails that died of the plague, to eat them
And, awful to relate. and more awful to
behold, these poor people are found every
morning dead in the fields and in the high
ways, dead from starvation. Six, eight.
ten or twelve, are sometimes found lying
dead together. Without any exaggeration,
fully one hundred thousand Arabs have
fallen victims to this sore calamity within
the last six months!

equal Suffrage in the SOUTH -

The Cleveland Herald went into raptures
over the Radical Platform adopted at Chi
cago, as outspoken and explicit in regard
to the pending issues, and among other
things the Herald says has been done by
the Republican party in this platform, is
that .'they have planted themselves on the
doctrine of Equal Suffrage in the South"
They have done no such thing. In the
second resolution they declare that "the
guarantee by Congress of Equal Suffrage
to aM the loyal men of the South was de-
manded by every consideration of public
safety, of gratitude and justice, and must
be maintained whole" They favor Equal
Suffrage" simply for the 'loyal men," and
not for all ''men of the South" The men
that that Convention held to be "loyal men
in the South" are Negroes and the White
men who will vote the Republican ticket.
All other White men they hold to be dis
loyal, and that by reason of that disloyalty
should be disfranchised. That's the sort of
equality in suffrage they propose to estab-
lish in the South-an equality that should
receive the opposition of every White man
who is animated by White principles.

are too many Black and Tan illegal votes,
that can be polled in Green and other coun-
ties, under the claim of preponderance of
white blood, to be given up without a
struggle. The students, most OF them,

Nobody Cares for Grant.

The Democratic Messenger, published at
Fremont, claims that the Radicals made a
mistake in the nomination of Gen GRANT
as their candidate for the Presidency.
1t says, and this saying is confirmed by the
manner in which the news of GRANTS
nomination was received in this city, that
nobody cares for GRANT. Nobody cares
for his craftsmanship.

A Just Compliment.

The Southern Home Journal, published at
Baltimore, and eminent as literary pub
lication, pays Hon. GEORGE FL. PENDLEToN
this just compliment:
"It is remarkable that Mr.. Pendleton
has none of that coarseness or excess usu-
ally attributed to the Western politician
His appearance is singularly cultivated,
his dress decorous and becoming, he sug
gests recollections of the old school gentle
man, and in his style he has the merit of
reviving the graces of literature in politics
He calls to mind those better days of the
Republic, when the politician was also the
gentleman and the scholar. We name him
confidently as the best living model in
America Of pure and lofty literary style
in party politics, in abstinence from per-
sonalities and low fancies, in dignity in
well-knit and justiy-adorned language, he
has no equal among the public speakers of
his day.
"Even if he writes on the resolutions of
1898 and 1799.' we are attracted by the
charm of his style, and fancy we are OBJ
tanning new information of subject which
other instructors have made trite and
threadbare. 1t is style in which are most
| ingeniously distributed all the elements;
| in which the argument is well braced with
| illustration; in which the logic Is neither
too dense nor zoo OeSulCOry anu III WHICH
ornamenti is so judiciously used as to draw
without dividing attention. That Mr.. Pen
dleton is one of the first political scholars
of the country, no candid person will dis
pute; and that he is so without prejudice
to the familiarity of his intercourse with
the people, is the effect not only of his
amiable person, but of the happy literary
style by which he obtains admission to the
minds and hearts of even the most ignOr-
ant of the populace."
An IndIcement for the PendletOn
The Pittsburgh Post wants the PENDLE-
TON escort, when they go to New York, to
take Pittsburgh in their way, and promises
them generous hospitality, and says thai

The New York Tribune Predict
ing Again.

ing Asalns
1t is announced by telegraph that the
Ne,o York Tribune predicts that General
GRANT will be elected by larger majority.
than the majority by which LINCOLN was
elected over General MCCLELLAN.
We suppose the reporter for the Associ-
ated Press thought that this prediction vir-
tually settled the matter; but we can re-
call no instance in which the Tribune gave
evidence of prophetic powers. A few days
before the election in New Hampshire, the
Tribune said the Republicans could and
must, and it had no doubt they would, give
the Republican ticket five thousand major
ity. 1t appealed to the Republicans to do
this, because the eyes of the whole country
were upon them, and it would greatly in
spire the Republicans in Connecticut who
were in few days thereafter to grapple
with the Democrats in that State. After
all, the Republicans polled only the insig-
nificant majority of twenty-five hundred.
On the eve of the Connecticut election, the
Tribune asserted and encouraged the hope
ry Connecticut. General GRANT was made
the prominent figure in the campaign by
the Republicans in that State, and yet the
Democrats doubled their majority of the
preceding year. Even on the morning of
Saturday of last week, the Tribune predict
ed that the President would be convicted,
beyo ond peradventure, on the 11th article.
He was, nevertheless, acquitted.
We cite these few, out of many, instances
to show that the Tribune is perfectly char
acterless as prophet, and that, taking the
nature of the verification of its past pre-
dictions by contraries, its prediction that
GRANT will be triumphantly elected, will
find fulfllment by the triumphant election
of the Democratic Presidential candidate.
The 10Th Congressional District.
On Wednesday, the 10th inst, the De-
mocracy of the 10Th District, composed of
the counties of Ashtabula, Geauga, Mahon-
ing, Portage and Trumbull, met by Dele
gates in Convention at Ravenna, and or
ganized by electing SAMUEL D. HARRIS,
Esq, of Portage, Chairman, and VIM. A.
BIRcHARD, of Trumbull, Secretary. The
following resolution, on the motion of Mr..
NEsBIr, was unanimously adopted:
Resolred. That our delegates this day Sc
lected are hereby instructed to cast the
vote of this District in the National Demo-
cratic Convention for Hon. George II. Pen
dleton, as our choice for the Presidency
and to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination, as long as his name shall be
before the Convention. Adopted with
much enthusiasm.
R. o. RorE, Esq, of Ashtabula, and D. c.
GOODMAN, ESQ., of Portage, were then
elected Delegates to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, and. JEFFERSON PALM,
Esq, of Mahoning county, and EDWARD
CRAFTS, Esq, of Geauga county, were
elected Alternates. The best feeling pre-
vailed among the Democrats present, all
of whom were confident that the Repub-
lican majorities in those counties will be
very considerably reduced at the ensuing
fall elections

to make out by proof that he was quail
fled elector.
Judge GILMORE delivered a very able
dissenting opinion, in which Judge Nc
KENY concurred, showing up the fallacies
in the opinion of the majority, in putting a
forced construction upon the statute, for
the purpose of pronouncing the whole act
unconstitutional, when, by every legal in
tendment, the Court was bound to sustain
a law that was not clearly void that the
right of the Legislature to prescribe the
rules of evidence by which the qualifica-
tions of an elector should be examined, was
fully recognized by universal acquiesence
in the acts of 1s4l and 1857, which pre-
scribed questions and oaths to be rendered
to voters, which they were required to an
swer fully, or their vote would be rejected
The Supreme Court had held that a person
was white, having preponderance ol
white blood, and this fact could only be es-
tablished by evidence as to his parentage
and pedigree, as it was not question OF
color, but blood, and therefore the inter-
rogatories as to the marriage and parent
age were perfectly pertinent to ascertain
whether the party had a preponderance OF
white blood. The case goes back to the
Green County Common Pleas, which meets
on the Sth of June.
The petition in this case contained nc
ayerment that the Judges of Election, in
rejecting the vote, acted in bad faith, and
vet the singular spectacle was presented Of
the Radical Judges dividing by party
line on demurrer to a pleading, that ev-
cry lawyer knows was bad, and holding a
law unconstitutional when no case was
made. The people can see that they will
have to fight the Radicals over again on
