4 Narrow Escape--"BIO0d Will TeIl.''

From the GAINESVILLE Ohio Signal Aug. A.
A man named Patrick Riley had
very narrow escape from a most terrible
death In the town of Dresden, last week.
W hlle engaged IN cleaning out we'll on
Thursday, a portion Of the curbing gave
way, Wedging him down at the bottom,
distance Of 80 feet from the earth's sur
face. The end of the rope attached to
the windlass was Immediately let down
to him, and he succeeded in making it
fast around his body, when an effort was
made to draw him up and extricate him
from his perilous situation. This failed,
however, as his legs were so fastened by
the rocks wedging him in from the knee
joint down that to draw him up would
have pulled his body into shreds. An
effort was then made by Mr.. McCor-
mick to descend and give helping hand
to the suffering man, but another obsta
Gle interposed itself; the well became af-
fected with foul air to such an extent as
to render Mr. Mccormick descent i'm
possible, aud he was drawn out i'll an al
most insensible condition. A reward was
then offered of $50 to any person who
would descend and endeavor to give Ri
ley relief By this time several hours had
elapsed since the unfortunate man had
first been caught in the well, but, fortu-
nately, colored woman happened to
hear the offer, and there it was the laugh
came in, if 1t can come in where the life
OF person is jeopardized: upon hearing
the offer she stepped up to the person
making it, and said, '"Fore God, man.
does ye mean W hat ye say p A reply be-
ing made in the affirmative, she then
asked, And if de man who goes down
dar doesn fetch him out, and gifts his
self killed, will de money be paid to de
widder!' She was answered that the
widow. in such case, would certainly re-
ceive the $50, when she Immediately left
and returned in short time with her
husband. Leading him up to the we'll
she said: 'Now, Sim, off wild yer coat

down dar fur me. Beings as you am my
property you am sold for the present oc-
casion. So down you goes, and shows

Sims dusky form disappeared beneath
the surface. and he descended into the

and Sim were drawn to the top where

He received no further injury, however
than the severe MASKING of one of his

Abandoning Seymour.
From the Albany Journa

We still note the changes going on from
Seymour and Blair to the support of
Grant and Colfax. David GlIgore, of
Delaware county, Ohio, and Hon. L. n
Still, late member Of Congress, from the
Eleventh Ohio, District, both OF whom
have been acting with Democracy, have
taken the stump for Grant and Colfax
The Elniira Gazette, the only Democrat
ic paper in Chenango county, New York,
has come. out for Grant. 1t declares
that Seymour cannot and ought not to be
elected. A gentleman writing from the
interior ofOhio, to the editor OF the Day

Democratic Testimony on Gen. Grants
At;lities Before he became a Candi-
date

Democratic Testimony on Gen. Grants
4e;iities Before he became Candi-
date.
The Pittsburg Post is the leading Dem
ocratlc paper in Western Pennsylvania.
Last winter it published an editorial
from which we take this extract
Ought we to nominate man in on
! position to Gen. Grant? Ought we to
charge HIM with being an enemy to his
country, or III favor OF unjust measures.
merely because he may have received
said nomination
We are inclined to believe that more
depends upon Gen. Grant than upon any
other individual in the United States.
We believe him to be far superior to the
far-sighted politicians who have been
ruling the nation without bringing peace
and economy to our legislation. He is
known to all people as straight forward
man, and, so far as can be Judged man
well disposed to deal fairly with the peo-
pie OF all sections of the Union. Ger
talnly If such man were nominated by
the Democratic party, we would advocate
his election in the hope that his election
would conduce to the public welfare.
The question is, then, if he is nominated
by the Republican party, whether we
shall as party oppose his election. \ x
In the first place if the people
generally believe Gen. Grant to be the
man we think he is, no individual in the
United States could command corporal S
guard of votes against him-on any plea
e0haterer. In the second place, it would
be an unjust aud very injurious action for
our Democratic leaders to attempt to
place the Democratic party in false
position before the world, representing
them as enemies or opponents Of Gen
What better thing can we do, in case
of Gen. Grant nomination by the Re-
publican party, than to vote for him for
the Presidency? Our aim should be to
strengthen his hand to render him as
much as possible independent of party.
and to elect him President of the people.
If unanimously, so much the better We
solemnly believe that If the people gener-
ally knew if the United States can come
together with real unanimity on Gen
Grant, in regard to the Presidency, it will
be the happiest thing for our country that
can possibly occur. The future good
effects OF this course are almost incalcula
bic. We earnestly ask our Democratic
friends everywhere to consider this subject
carefully"

TAXING u. S. BONDS. The follow
ing from the New York Tribune, should
set at rest the question of the right OF
states or municipalities to tax United
States bonds. The right cannot be con
ceded without depriving the general gov
crnment of all power of self preserva-
ton. We commend the considerations
here set forth to the advocates of the
doctrine of the democratic platform upon
this question:
BY three successive decisions of the Z.
5. Supreme Court, it has been decided
that Ior a state, city, or other local au-
thority to tax national bonds is inconsis-
tent with those clauses of the Constitu-
ton which make the National Govern
ment within the scope of its delegated
powers, supreme over all state or local
laws. The power to borrow money is a
national power, vested by the Constitu-
ton in the National Government. The
power to tax being in It's nature unlimited
save by the will OF the state, levying the
tax, would enable the state to tax FEEDER
al bonds 100 per cent as easily as l PEI
cent-in short, it would place the power
of the nation to borrow III subsection &c
the power Of the state TO tax. The
states could, therefore, by the exercise OF
this power, destroy the National Govern
ment. This has been the argument OF
the Supreme Court as delivered by Chief
Justice Marshall and others. This Is
sufficient reason why the bonds cannot be
taxed by any state or local authority.

The State Fair.

1t has now been seven years since the State
Agricultural Society have deemed it proper or
useful to hold State Fair. The time has now
arrived when the people demand revival of
this exhibition, which formerly did so much
to stimulate the agricultural and mechanical
industries Of the State. Fortunately the
Board of Trustees of the Agricultural Society
comprises at this time some of the most able
and experienced agriculturists among our cit
liens. They are Hon. Seth Seaman, of Scar
borough, President, and Mr.. Boardman, the
Junior editor of the Maine Farmer, Secretary
The other members of the Board are Hon.

The Trustees have beer in session in this
city since Wednesday, occupied with the revi-
sion of the premium list and with the prelimi
nary arrangements for the Fair. They ad-
journed yesterday to meet at some place. yet
undetermined, on Thursday, the 3Oth of the
present month, when they will decide what
town or city has offered sufficiently liberal
propositions to entitle it to be fixed upon as
the place for holding the Fair. The require
ments are not extravagant, and there will 10
doubt be considerable competition on the part
of different localities to determine which shall
answer them most satisfactorily. A suitable
place for the exhibition of stock with pens and
other conveniences, good track for trotting,
a commodious hall for the display of horticul-
tural and mechanical products, and an ade-
quate police force all subject to the supervi-
sion and control of the Trustees are among
the inducements that must be offered by the
place where the people desire the Fair to be
neld. Tue exact time has not yet been fixed,
but it will be sometime during the last of Sep
TENDER or the first of October.
