Black and Tanners held another ''citizens'
meeting at the Union Club Rooms on Sat-
urday, from which they carefully excluded
all Democrats. The communication from
the Republican County Executive Com

County Executive Committee thereto were
read. A resolution was adopted deprecat-
ing all violence, and disavowing any intent
to cause persons. not voters, to present
themselves at the polls to vote. 1t calls
upon the Republicans of the various wards
to organize and attend the polls 50 that
full vote of the city may be polled in
November. The preamble of this resolu-
tion says that the overtures of the Repub-
licans for "peace have been rejected"
There is not word of truth in this. The
Democracy, through their committee, have
said, "Don't try to vote negroes and there
will be peace" The Democracy will say
the same thing at the polls on Tuesday,

STRANGE SToRY.-The financial crisis of
1857 dates the commencement OF many sad
tales. The following story, related to us
last evening by New York detective, is
romance. For obvious reasons we with
hold the names of the parties concerned.
The village of Lyons, in the State of New
York, was the residence, in 1857, of
wealthy retired merchant, his wife, and an
only daughter, who was at that time young,
handsome, and accomplished. She had
been reared with all the advantages love
could suggest or wealth command. She
was engaged to promising young lawyer,
to whom She was to have been married the
following winter. Disaster succeeded dis
aster in the commercial world. The father
of the young lady, in a single day, was
hurled from atiiuence to penury. His SUI
perb mansion, costly plate, horses, car
riages, everything, was sold at auction.
He moved, with his wife and daughter, to
New York city, where he secured situa-
ton as copying clerk in house that one
year before would have honored his check
for 100000. The miserable pittance
allowed the father was not sufficient TO sup
port the family. The daughter, after num-
berless attempts, succeeded in procuring
situation as seamstress. She had occupied
this situation for nearly year when news
reached her of the marriage Of her attl-
anced. She left home, father, and mother.
Seven years later her father catches
glimpse of her, in company with her former
| lover, on a train just leaving the Hudson
river depot Her father, who had regained
a portion of his wealth, secured the services
| of an efficient detective, who has been en-
gagged for three years in C working up - the
case. The man to whom she was to have
been married had, either from sorrow for
her loss or remorse for having betrayed the
confidence of his early love, become dissi-
pated, and, losing his practice, step by
step descended to the occupation of a comic
singer in low dance-house, where he met
the woman whose life he had blasted.
A spark of the old love must have re-
NAMED alive, for they joined their fortunes,
and appear to have made credltable
attempt to redeem each other. They were
traced to Montreal, Canada, where he
taught school. They remained in Canada
only short time, returning to New York
State and opening store. He appears to
have accumulated some money; for the
next time they are heard from he is at
Shullsburg, negotiating for farm situated
in the neighborhood of Vinegar Hill. AT
Shullsbure our informant lost all trace OF
them. He left on last evenings train for
New York city, there to await further
developments. Truth is indeed stranger
than fction.-GdlenG Gazette.
