As far as have been able to gather the
sentiment of the Wings and Democrats

a candidate for the Presidency, 1t IS THIS:
They have no particular pertiality or
nreiudice for or against any individual.
They 90 for success. They will cordially
ennnort any respectable Conservative
who NAV have the strength to beat the
Radicals. They know that the great bat
lie for the Consultation and Government
ia IN he fought in the North, and they are,
therefore disposed to concede to the
Northern States the right of selecting the
Northumberland. | think, when the con-
vention meets. the Southern delegates

Lstter from Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, OF VII
ginia.

spRIsGrIELD, ILL. May 8. 1893.
Hon. A. II. ii. Stuart;
DEAR Sir: We are anxious to know
what mart in the National Democtatic
Convention the opponents in the South
10 the Republicans will pursue. AS an
old Wing, | am especially anxious TO
know what Southern Wings. are dong
and thinking. think the maintenance
of the Union under the Constitution, and
the civil liberty which we once enjoyed
wher that Constitution was the supreme
law of the land, depend upon the defeat
of the radical Republicans in the ensuing
Presidential election. My hopes for the
future rest much in the Wings oil the
SoutL, as well as the North. Trained by
CLAW. Webster, and other gallant leaders
of that glorious old party TO venerate
and obey the Constitution and the written
law. they cannot consistently do other
Wise than aid in the defeat of the revolu.
tiopary party which has been carrying on
the Government outside of the Constitu-
ton. and which, if successful in the
Presidential election, will continue aud
perpetuate military despotism. WIZ
they support Mr. Pendleton
i think, under all the circumstances,
he ia the most available man. Serving
with him through one Congress, pro-
fess to be well acquainted with him. A
gentleman in the highest sense of the
word gentle to friends, courteous to all,
with a generous heart and large intellect,
cultivated and refined by learning and
knowledge, well educated lawyer and
a practical statesman, be would I'LL the
executive office with honor to himself; to
the party slecting him, and to the vel
fare of the country. AS President he
would be patriot and statesman, main
tanning the honor of the whole country
and upholding the Constitution and the
Union. There need be no fear OF rad
icalism of any kind with him. would
be very happy to hear from you, and to
have your views upon this subject, and
what will most probably be the course OF
Virginia and the South generally in the
Convention. We feel here the more
anxiety as to the course of the South,
because we learn that great efforts are |
being made to enlist Southern Conserva-
tism against Mr. Pendleton. Opposi::
ton to him from Southern Conservatives
would, in my opinion, be 2 fatal mistake.
Respectfully, your obedlent servant,
JOHN I. STEWART.

and that no other person would he likely to

lisns proceeded TO make Themselves com.
fortsble. During their stay, which lasted
about an hour, they appeared to be await
ing the return Of Mr.. Benninghof, and tnsy

Finally the Williams concluded to leave,
and msking a slip-no0se, they pat 1t round
the neck of one of the hired men aud led
him to the barn and forced him to harness
a horse to a cutter. The man was then lod
back to the house aud rstied. Two other
horses were taken from the barn, and the
whole party started off at brisk pace. Az
soon as the last man left the house Mr..
Benninghoffs neice manag d to loosen the
cords with which her arms were bound
The rest Of the family were then released,
and the men started out aud alarmed the
aeighbors, after which telegrams were sent
in all directions to the authorities of the
different places, apprstsng them OF the rob,
berry.
After leaving the house, the Ave men with
the horses and cutter proceeded up Ben
niDghof Run about one halt CT a mile, the
cutter was smashed and the horses were
turned loose. where they were found yes
terday morning. From where the cutter
and horses were abandoned, mo farther tra.
ces OF the party could be found.
The safe that was not opened, contained
a much larger amount than that carried of.
Yesterday morning Il reward of $4,000
was offered for the arrest of the robbers and
return of the money, and later In tie day
it was increased to $4,000. About two
O'Clock. a dispatch was received by Mr.. B.
from OH City, stating that three men had
been arrested on suspicion of being implica-
ted in the robbery. Mr.. B. and Deputy
Sheriff Hull left Petroleum Center for Oil

From the New York Freemans Journal and
Catholic Register,
General Grant and the Bondho;-
aaeTS.

One of the most fatal signs of his fail ire
was exhibited lately, in $50 called politi.
cal meeting at Cooper Institute Hall. The
Messrs. Astor, Wm. b. and his son, John
j., were there. So Was A. f. Stewart. tho
immensely wealthy dry goods merchant.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, the great railroad
capitalist, was supposed to be there. And
these very wealthy Joadholders nominated
Grant for President The ridiculous aspect
Of this nomination is hard to protraJ. These
politically incapable gentleman assuming to
direct political action, could be equaled only
by set Of most impecunious politician
starting an insurance campany on the basis
Of five millions capital, paid in. The Messrs.
Astor, and Commodore Vanderbilt, and
Peter Cooper, and the rest of this Grant>
Cooper Institute meeting, would not take
stock in the politicians insurance company.
Wide awake politicians will not take stack
in the 6oadholtie,s movement for Grant, ae
the expense Of ninety nine out OF each
hundred Of the people.
Grant has been killed as Presidential
candidate by the otficious action of These
very heavy bondholders. The people OF
New York and the people of Pennsylvania
are not with the bondhol1ing aristooracy.
Every State of the Northwest is of one
general mind on this matter. Graat is
going to be the candidate of the rich
bondholdels. The leading issue in the next
Presidential canvass is to be the questitn OF
getting rid of onerous taxation, and Of the
,car deJt, as its cause. Two ways are pre-
sented, The first is to pay off all these in
the declared currency il which they were
contracted. That currenc- is greenJdck
paperl There is another plan-and the en-
ly alternative possible. 1t is reprdiation Of
the entire was debt as not lawfully eontrac-
ted We can assure our Back Republican
opponents that they are in much danger
from this latter idea. 1t has very much Of
example to Justify it, We are in favor OF
the mitigatel plan. We are for paying off
the war debt in the same currency in which
it was contracted; at about the same peroen,
tage on the valae of gold dollar. But, if
this plan is defeated, then we will join with
those that advocate repndiafion-that is,
denying that the huge debt declared against
the United States was ever legally or con-
sttutiorally incurred.

The Commercial Answers Itself.

One ofthe editors OF the Commercial who
is in its home department. has been pitcES
ing into the Ohio Legislature for resembling
the consent OF the State to the notorious
fourteenth constitution amendm ent propos-
ed by the iragmentary rump at Washington.
This arresting the attention Of its editor.
who writes under the signature of Mack"
from Washington, he thus answers, in the
Commercial of Saturday, his home collea-
que. He says:
THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.
"A number OF Radical paper have do.
nounced the Ohio Legislature for resembling
the ratification of the fourteenth amend>
ment They seem to forget that Republi-
can party repudiated that amendment year
ago. 1t was entirely superseded by the pas.
sage OF the so called reconstruction bills
Except as basis OF reconstruction, it is en-
tirely worthless. As basis OF reconstruc-
ton, it promised peace and security to both
sections, and was accepted as such in nearly
every Congressional district in the North;
and if the leaders of the Republican party
had made one tenth Of the effort to secure
its adoption in the South. that they have
| since made to force the adoption of the mill.
tary, the Union would have been restored
under il year ago. But the extreme Rrdi-
GALS never intended that amendment to servo
any other purpose than that pf an eectionee-
ring dodge. Having used it in the cams
paign of 1866, they had no further use for
it, and openly repudiated it, So far as the
| legality OF the recision is concerned there
is, at any rate, Republican precedent for
it.
"The OLio Legislature of the winter Of
| 1850 6l ratified an amendment to make
slavery perpetual, and a year later the same
body repealed that ratification. New Jsr.
sey will follow the example OF Ohio, and
wiitdias it's assent aso, and thus the adop-
| tipn of the fourteenth amendment as part
nt h. Constitution will be indefinitely post
patea, il not forever defeated The Radi.

This is well said. 1t must be admitted
that the Commercial has MAIDS perfect an.

blood, and he fell besides his brother.in-
arms; while almost in the relentless youth
cried, "let me see the last one; / must en-

The spectators could no longer restrain
their applause within the limits of muir
muring. They clapped and braved the
young conquerur, as they would an actor
at the successful rendering of = difficult
role exhorted him to the last with hurras
of sympathy and encouragement.
The last grenadier of the Consular Guard
advanced with mournful resignation, as
if he forraw the fate which awaited him
and his forebodings were not deceived
when the Hussar drove his sabre through
his skull down to his very eyes.
The applause of tie crowd now rose to a
pitch OF intensity equal the rejoicing over a
signal victory achieved by their own prov.
ess, or rather that of their champion. -
They surrounded the youthful gladiator;
they grasped his hands, they embraced him
in regular order, and, finally when he had
been thus passed entirely round amid his
enthusiastic admirers, they lifted him, in
spite OF himself, on their shoulders, and
lighting tourches, for the night had gath
cred, they fairly commenced triumphal
march through the streets of Paris, with
their young conquerer, shouting and sisg
ing and replying to the numerous questions
of the fast gathering followers: Our infant
hero has just slain four grenadiers Of the
Consular Guard in fair fight
Killed four grenadiers!' cried the new
comers. Charming! What dear little
iellowl What glorious promise!" And
while the men kept joining in the process
sion and increasing the enthusiasm, the
women even threw garlands of flowers ups
on him in the hight of their admiration,
until, between his modesty and his boquets,
the poor little Hussar was half suffocated
before he reached his quarters.
This. however, was not all: His regis
me1t gave him grand jubilee; the master
alarms Of the army offered him banquet;
the ladies' OF Paris got up ball by suhScrip-
tion for him. 1n short, for several months
he was the hero, the lion Of the day, and
found mothers held his example before tLeir
sons as gloriously worthy of emulation.
Most fortunately these extravagances did
not turn the brain of the youthful soldier.
He possessed too much real courage and
real sense to waste his fame on individual
quarres, and his future efforts for the bub-
be reputation were at thr canhons mouth
on the field Of battle; for this same little
Hussar was no other than the brave Gener-
al Trohriant. whose pane became so distn

ter attaining many high honors of rank and
fortune, became so disguised with long in

for Sicily, to commence a new career of plo.
ry, starting, as at first, with his good sabre
as simple Hussar, which he knew SO we'll
