Death From a Broken Heart.
From the boston JournaI, aug. z.

From the Boston Journal, Aug. u.
A sad but interesting case of the
death of a young lady named Susan
King, is a general topic of conversa-
ton at Woburn at the present time
The deceased had been affianced to
young man, to whom, it appears, she
was deeply attached Some weeks
since she happened to observe him in
company with another young woman,
under such circumstances as to give
rise to feelings of jealousy on her part.
She upbraided him for his conduct,
and he replied to her remonstrances
In spirited manner, which further
provoked her to dismiss him. 1t
seems, however, that she still cherish
ed in secret the old affection, and the
disappointment so weighed upon her
mind as to cause a severe nervous at
tack, resulting, about ten days since,
IN utter prostrati0n. She remained in
this condition until her death, which
occurred on Saturday last. The cir
cumstances having been so peculiar,
and the malady having baffied the
skill of the physicians, it was deemed
proper an autopsy should be perform
ed, which was done on Monday by Drs.
Cutter and Abbott. No trace of dis
ease, or obvious cause Of death was
discoVerable, but the system was ap-
parently in an entirely healthy and
normal condition. The deceased was
Z person of excellent character and
fine personal appearance, and was
much esteemed and beloved.

Hubbe1l on Negro Suffrage.

In his speech to a Democratic meet
ing at Cheshire, few evenings since,
the reetiinear HubbelI had much to
say abusive of Congress for enfran-
chising the blacks in the District Of
Columbia There was time when
Hubbell thought differently. 1t was
before he found out that the Demo-
cratic party embodies all the patriotism
in the country discovery which
seems to date from the Republican
Convention which failed to renom
mate him for Congress-. To illustrate,
we quote verbatim from the proceed
ings of. the House of Representatives,
XXXLXth Congress, 1st Sess, as re-
ported in the Congressional Globe,
Part /. page 1923, the following:
Mr.. HUBBELL, of Ohio. Mr..
Speaker, 1 rise to a question of priv
ilege. When the vote was taken yes
terday on the passage Of the bill Civ
ing colored people IN this District the
right to vote, l was confined to my
room by indisposition. I ask the
consent of the House for
leave to record n1y cote Ia the a6irma-
GUe. l
TIE SPEAKER. The Chair will
state that the rule adopted OF the last
Congress provides that when any
shall ask leave TO vote, the
Speaker shall PROFOUND to him the
question, Were you within the bar be-
fore the last name was called p and if
ha c n n ms n hn "a
Speaker shall not further entertain !
the request of such member to vote.
Under that rule the Chair decides that |
he cannot ask unanimous consent.
Mr.. ROGERS. Cannot the rules be |
suspended? n
THE SPEAKER. Only on Monday.
Mr.. HUBBELL, of Ohio. I haze |
only 10 sag that l WOULD HAVE |
MY VOTE IN FA-E
YOR OF THE PASSAGE OF THE
BILL.
q The SPEAKER. The rule was adopt |
I'd at the last Congress, under debate, |
10 prevent votes being recorded except |
when the members were IN their seats |
Fhen the roll was called by The Clerk.
From this it appears that the only
hing which prevented Hubbell from
7oting on the opposite side from that
le now advocates was his inability to
ret the privilege. But for this, he
would have helped Congress do the
ust and righteous act for which he
low arraigns it with so much bitter
less. And Hubbell is consistent, oh

Ex-GOzernOr Tod.

Some ten thousand people met at
Orwell, Ashtabula county, on Friday
| last, to hear speeches from Gen. j . A.
| Garfield and ex-GoY. Tod. Garfield s
speech was one of those able and Ella
| borate speeches which that gentleman
has fallen into the habit of making of
late
Gov Tod spoke briefly in his con
versational, easy off hand style. He
said he had driven forty miles to be
present at the meeting, and to make
known the deep interest he felt In the
great struggle going on. Speaking Of
Seymour, he said
I know him well. He was Governor
at the same time 1 was Governor Mr..
Lincoln called for volunteers. I sent.
him only thirty thousand, while Sey-
mour sent fifty thousand. The Pres
ident went round complimenting Sey-
mour and saying nothing about what
had done. l took Mr. Lincoln to task
for this. I said, how is it you are com.
plimenting Seymour for his fifty thou
sand men, and neglecting to compli-
ment Morton and me? His answer
perfectly satisfactory. He said, Why, 4
Tod, never thanked Mrs Lincoln
for cup of tea in my life" Laugh
ter and applause The truth was,
Morton and had done nothing more
than what was expected of us, while
Seymour had. He had never done
the like before, an d never did after 4
ward. It was not necessary to keep a
Major General in Indiana, Illinois,
and Ohio, to correspond with the !
President, as it was in New York. In
those States the Governors acted as
the Presidents correspondents and |
and agents. You will remember that
dispatch of General Dix
to Seymour, saying II beg to let I
you know that have troops enough at !
my command to take care, not only of I
the rioters. but of you" /

Shall We have Another Buchanan 2

Shall we have Another Buchanan
Inits salient traits there is a strik-
ing resemblance in the character of
Horatio Seymour to that of Jas. Buch-
anan. Seymour's craftsmanship, if we
may SO dignity his public record, is of
the Buchanan type His mind has
been fashioned after the same model,
educated in the same school of poll
tics, indoctrinated with the same
political dogmas as Buchanan's. With
Horatio Seymour in the Presidential
chair it is fair to presume that Buch-
anan's administration would repeat
itself, and it is suggestive cOinci-
dence that at time when a beaten re-
bellion makes bold to reclaim its lost
estate the Democratic party proposes
to elevate to the Presidency a man
of the same characteristics as he
whose imbecility SO nearly proved our
ruin.
The period of the rebellion, no less
than that of the revolution was a time
which tried mems souls. How did
Horatio Seymour appear in that or
deal2 When rebels made war upon
the flag he had not one word Of re-
buke for their treason. Throughout the
whole struggle he had not one utter
ance to make offensive to the deadly
foes Of the country. Either want Of
courage or actual sympathy with the
rebellion kept him silent, and we
would rather believe him lacking in
backbone than guilty of misprision of
treason. But how contemplate does
this make Horatio Seymour appear
Too coWardly either to rebuke or to
avow the crime Of the rebellion he
never lifted his voice except to vilify
those who were trying to save the
country, and even in this pitifully
shielded himself behind the civil lawl

Soldiers, Look at This.


We copy verbatim from the Ohio
Laws, Vol. 81, page 228, the following
Act passed By the last (Republican)
Legislature ofOhio:
Section I. Be 1t enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Ohio, That the disabled soldiers who
have been or shall be received into the
National Asylum for disabled volun-
teer soldiers, and who may be citizens
of the United States, shall be held and
deemed to have their lawful residence
in the county and township IN which
said asylum is for the time being or
may hereafter be located and shall be
entitled to vote in such township
and county, subject to the provisions
of existing laws as to the time such
residence shall have continued prior
to the exercise of the elective fran
chise. ED. a. PARRoTT,
Speaker of the House of Representa-
ANDREW G.. MoBUREKY,
President of the Senate.
Passed April 16, 1867.
This benefcent enactment confer
ring upon the veterans disabled in de-
Tending the country the privilege of
voting at the Home provided for
them by the Government the present
reaetionary DEMOCRATIC General
Assembly REPEALED thus strip
ping from these brave, mutilated war
worn men, the privilege so worthily
given them.
The purpose of this piece of vindic-
tive Democratic spite at the soldiers
crippled in fighting Southern Rebels
may be readily inferred from the fact
that the Home provided for them is
located at Dayton, in the District
where 1t Was expected that Vallandig-
ham would, as he has since become, a
candidate for Congress. It was be-
cause it was apprehended that these
soldiers would vote against this trail
tor that they were denied the privilege
of voting at all
Think of it soldiers Your disa-
5led comrades, the heroes of a score of
battles for the Union, disfranchised
IN ONO to help elect VaZzandigHans
to Congress ! Il
And this, bear in mind, was done
by the DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY in the
present Legislature, every Democratic
member voting for it, while every Re
publican member voted and did every
thing in his power against it.

Who are Responsible for the Taxes

Democratic speakers and newspapers
are actively engaged in falsifying the
financial record, during and sinoafthe
war. They do this In order to persuade
the unrefecting- and ignorant that
the present high taxation was none of
their creation, and to convict their oD-
ponents of wasteful expenditures since
the war closed. The national debt is
the result of Democratic treason.
Every rebel statesman, every rebel
general was a Democrat. Every one
Of them now alive Is a Democrat. The
principal ones were delegates to the
convention that met in New York re-
Gently. Robert Toombs, of Geogia,
declared Ia a recent speech that ''the
Democratic party begun the rebellion
in 1861, and that there would be no
peace until it was restored to power.
The Northern eopperheads doubled
the natural burden of the war be pro-
longing it at least two years through
their fire IN the rear" policy. They
fought for the rebellion by means of
draft-riots, such as that Horatio Sey-
mour's friends led and carried on In
New York In 1868. Rebellion and
Democracy are convertible terms. If
there. had been no rebellion there
would nave been no national debt, and
no high taxation. Hence
the Democratic party are the respon- /
sible authors Of this heavy load, The
leaders know this and try to shirk the |
responsibility by the cry of "wasteful !
expenditures and administrative cor
ruptIon. 2 They forget that the Re
publieans HAVE NOT CONTROL |
EXPENDITURE THEY /

PROPRIATIONS. President John
son, who stands endorsed and his poll
icy accepted by the recent National
Democratic Convention, has had exc
eutive control, and his administration
is consequently responsible for most
Of the disbursements since the war
closed. IF his course is acceptable to
.he Democracy, then they and not the
are responsible for any
in the Disbursement of the
appropriations made by Congress.

We observe Hubbell's name sweetly
coupled with that Of Pendleton on the
posters for the approaching Demo
cratic mass meeting To appreciate
the appropriateness of this it is neees-
sary to recall what HubbeII said of
George. before he saw light. For
instance In his speech at this place
Sept. Is, '65 he paid his respects to
Pendleton in this wise
Nv herever any measure was pro
posed to strengthen the financial or
military condition Of the government,
IN the mode prescribed By the consti-
tuition, either by eonseription or taxa
tion It was assailed by the party lead
ers as unconstitutional and oppressive.
If a traitor was arrested for ineiting
iusurrection, or defending the rebell-
ion, or disseminating treason and for
the public safety placed in close con
finement BY the government the Pughs
and PENDLET0NS pronounced the
arrest an act Of tyranny and usurpa-
tion, etc, etc.
It's pleasant to see these brethren
nov coupled together in such delight
ful unity.

The Fourteenth Amendment.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution has been ratified by more
than the required number of States,
.aud has been proclaimed by the State
Department as part of the Constitution
of the United States. To violate it In
aDy particular is a crime. 70 set it
aside in any other manner than that
In which it was adopted is revolution.
Yet the late rebels of the South are
deliberately calculating on its being
set aside in case of a Democratic VIC
tory at the polls in November, and the
Democrats of the North tacitly or
openly encourage the idea.

Neither the acts of Congress, nor of

what Is not, a constitutional ratltlca-

they must be void, also, in their rati-
Geation Of the constitutional amend
ment. The latter is by far the. most
important act of the two, and requires,
therefore. the strongest proof of pow

The Freedmen's Bureau.

The Democrats have great deal to
say about the cost of the Freedmen's s
Bureau. Some of their ~ speakers eab place
the expense at over $100,000,000, and
claim that this. money was spent in
idle negroes. Both are exaggerations.
The Bureau was instituted in January
1864. The whole expense from that
date up to June 30, 1868, as officially
reported by the Treasury Department,
was $5,617 600. OF the rations issued
by the Bureau fully one third were
distributed to poor white persons, who
had been reduced by the rebellion to a
state Of starvation, and who would but
for the liberality of the Government
have starved. Cincinnati Gazette.

Marriage and Divorce in Saxo1
Times.

The origin of the question in the
matrimonial service, who giveth this
may be traced to Saxon times, for
every Saxon lady had ''mundbora"
or guardian, without whose consent
she could not be married. The Sax
ons regarded matrimony as holy es-
ried. A layman who was Widower,
or a widow might marry again, but the
church, thought it did not prevent
such marriages, only tolerated them,
and at the ceremony the blessing was
withheld. The wakes" so well known
in Ireland were once a religious rite
among the Saxons in England.
