AN English paper says: "A fisherman
of Mevagissey lately became impressed
with the idea that he was 'ill-wished' by a
poor widow, whose son had been dismissed
from mackerel seine. To avert the evil
consequences which he apprehended might
ensue, he procured large bone, and after
filling the hollow with pins. proceeded to
place it in the chimney. During this GER
emony he read portions of the Bible, es-
pecially the 1O9th Psalm. This incantation
was designed to cast spell on the WITCH
but hitherto it has failed in effecting the
proposed result. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that many in Cornwall superstitiously
tions of witchcraft." ,i1

A LATE visitor to Sing Sing State prison
writes: "Ketchum, the forger, is employ
ed in keeping books in the rear of the shoe
shop, but he was not to be seen. Ratzky,
the man who murdered the diamond mer-
chant in New York some six years ago, is
here to be seen also, as well as Mrs. Robin
son, the vailed murderess, who does not like
to be gazed upon. She is employed in the
hospital as nurse, and conducts herself be-
comingly-about the best thing she could
do under the circumstances. Her cell is
one of the incest in the female department.,
being fixed up in handsome manner. She
must be fond of flowers, for on a small
stand she had bouquet of artificial 'posies,'
and take it all In all, her cell was, rather
cheerful, If such a word can be used in this
gloomy connection"

lCorrespondence of the Ohio Statesman.1
49, rag DELAWARE, Aug. 13. 4
The Democracy of Delaware township
had pleasant and lively time of it last
evening. The Seymour and Blair Club met
for the second time, and enrolled the names
OF over fifty new recruits.
The RAIDS met few nights ago and en-
deavored to form a 'Grant Guard" and,
after long and strenuous efforts, they suc-e
ceeded in raising fiity-seven recruits, some
of which can safely say were not fifteen
years of age. Delaware, 1 am most happy
to say, is getting dead to Radicalism. There
is no spirit manifested among the faithful
any more. How is it that Delaware (for-
merly the greatest Radical hole in Ohio) is
so cool to its belief? Seymour and Blair I
predict will be, from the aspect of the sur
rounding political sky, the chosen indi-
viduals to regulate matters at the White
House, after "Andy" passes away. .-s
An honest but simple Hibernian, while
fording the MILESTONE within short dis
tance OF town yesterday, saw, as he sup
posed, an eel, and endeavored to catch him
and succeeded, but to his utter disappoint-
ment he soon discovered it was not exactly
what he had thought he had caught, but q
snake, The serpent entered his fangs in
two places above the wrist of his right arm.
We had quite singular run away on
Monday last. A horse took fright some
where in South Delaware, and made his
way directly towards the river, but instead
of fording it Gas all other horses would doj,
he ran on to the wire bridge and went half
way across, when he bethought himself
that he had already gone far enough, and
jumped over, causing one of his hindermost
limbs to be broken. ~. -,s

's'Hho Coin Contracts.
A discussion is going on in the K enia
Torchlight, between two correspondents
j. E. II. thus states what Congress has done
and may do with coin contracts:
By the passage of the legal tender act
(Which has been held to be constitutional
by some of the best courts in the country
Congress impaired the obligations of thou
sands of contracts. Under that act the courts
have held that when a note was given prior
to the passage of the act, payable by its ex-
press terms, in so many dollars in specie, it
could be discharged by paying just that
many dollars in legal tenders, without maxi
ing any addition for the premium on specie.
Yet j. L. tells us that the government may
not pay its bonds in greenbacks, because
that might be impairing the obligations of
the contract. Is there any difference be-
tween the obligation of a public contract
and that of a private one?
Suppose the case went into the courts
What could they do more than to decide
that government had made contract by
the terms of which it was bound to pay in
,coin7 But government has the right to. say,
as it has said, that coin debts as well as
others shall be paid in paper or coin, at the
option of the party bound, and of this right,
the courts could not deprive it. When the
same question would come up again, that
we have now. which is purely question
of policy shall the government pay in pa
per? And, to decide this, j. l.. would be
wanting to go back to the courts again.
OF what avail would be the decision of
the courts, that this contract between the
bondholders and government is for paper
alone or for coin alone, when the govern
ment is admitted to have the right to pass,
and in fact, has passed law by which all
money contracts, whether public or private,
with certain, named exceptions, may be
paid in paper, even though the agreement
stipulate on its face for specie payment! !!
Whether Congress shall exercise its right
to pay in paper or not, is a question of
policy about which men differ, but the
courts have nothing to do with it.
Mir. THOMAS, the candidate of the Dem
ocratic party for Congress. is in favor of
taxing the Bonds and paying the outstand-
ing $40 Bonds in Greenbacks. e'
How stands Judge WINANs, the Repu5li-
can candidate, with regard to these two
great questions, which involve the relief OF
the people and the prosperity of the coun-
try? 7.es

The Resolutions Adopted by the
Democracy of the Sih District.


The following are the resolutions that
were adopted by the Democratic Congress
sional Convention of the Eighth District,
on the 18th instant
WHEREAS, The public debt should be paid
in good faith according to the terms OF the
contract, therefore.
,Resolued, That the public faith does not
require that the five-twenty bonds should
be paid in gold, but be paid in the same
currency with which we paid the soldiers
who fought the battles of the war; in the
same currency or money in which the
widow and the orphan received their PEN
sion in the same money which the laborer
received for his daily toll, and the same
used in business transactions.
Resolued, That this Convention, repre-
senting the Democracy of the Eighth Dis
trict of Ohio, do most heartily ratify and
indorse both the State nominations and
platform of Ohio for 1868, and also the NOM
inees and platform of the New York Ma
tional Convention of July 4. 1868, and that
1t will be our pleasure and duty to exert
ourselves to the utmost to elect both tickets
as we'll as the nominee of this Convention
