township have all been offered for sale within
the past few years, but much of the best land
fell into the hands of men who did not design
to improve it, but hold it for sale at large
advance on the original cost. This township
probably has more broken, bluffy land in pro-

OBITUARY Y.
Madame MeyerdOrE.

Madame Meyerdorf died on Sunday morning
last, in New York city. She was POLISH exile,
and with the family OF her second husband
arrived here on the 18th of this mouth three
years ago, leaving as an exile in Siberia her
youngest son, Michael, one of four sons who
took part in the Polish revolution of 1863.
With no hope of ever seeing him again she
sought happiness by the change from her
native land to this of her adoption. She was
lady OF high intellectual endowments, of a most
amiable disposition, and of warm generosity to the
poor and needy. She filed, with dignity, q high
station in her home; lost 1t through the cause
Of her four sons who fought in the Polish Revo.

rewarded in this country; she was happy aud
willing to die, after once again beholding her
hrst and eldest son, Colonel Julian Allen, of
New York, and he by his faithful adhe-
renee 10 our Government, succeeded
In restoring to his brokenhearted mother
the exiled boy (only sixteen years old when
exiled). The Joy expressed by the deceased,
when informed that her boy was liberated by
the Emperor Alexander HIMSELF and done be-

years, and died at the age Of SO. Like Spartan
mother, with her own hands she equipped her
sons and sent them forth to battle for freedom
in the Polish revolution.

Judge PierrepOnt, of New York, Gives
Material Aid TO Grants Election.
Judge Pierrepont, of New York. has always
been Dem ocrat and Is one of the Sachems of
Tammany Hall. HIS detection, therefore, shows
in great degree the extent of feeling adverse to
the Rebel candidates among the Dem mocracy who
have not altogether lost their love OF country or
respect for maintaining its honor and character
as q nation. In his letter to Alexander I.
Stewart, Chairman of the Grant Committee. he
says:-
When Frank P. Blair, who had no claims
whatever upon the Democratic party, was nomi-
mated in Tammany Hall, with such shouts of
applause, Just after proclaiming that 1--WE must
have President who will trample into dustn
the laws of Congress, and when four Rebel
generals made the chief ratification speeches in
New York, my attention, as a War Democrat,
was arrested by this remarkable exhibition.
Since then ! have carefully noted
the expressions of Southern journals.
and the speeches of Southern politi-
ciaps from Wade Hampton on his return to
Charleston to the recent manifesto OF B. Ii.
Hill, and find that every leading Rebel in the
Confederacy regards the expected election OF
Seymour and Blair as complete vndicatiun OF
the Rebellion, and as certain to restore the
South to every right which she had before the
war, including the ''trampling into dust" by
military feet the proclamation of Freedom and
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
The Judge closes with the remark that in his
judgment the election OF Seymour and Blair
would paralyze our business and reduce the
to be used in the election bf Grant.
Mr.. Stewart makes suitable reply. and
accepts the generous donation made by Judge
PierrpDOnt.
