A Washington special says an extern
sive movement is going on among
Democratic leaders in favor Of casting
the Democratic electoral votes for
Grant thus making his election an ami
nous. A circular letter on this sub
ject has been addressed to various
prominent Democrats both North and
South. It is hoped by this project to
coax General Graat to confer some
slight token of his grateful remem-
brance upon its authors in his distri-
button of patronage. The matter is
chiefly imp ortant as showing how ut
terly demoralized the Democratic
party has become through its recent
disasters.

residence of her grandson, Charles r. Church,
Mrs MARIA READ wife of Aaron Read and
mother of the Rev. c. II. Read, of Richmond,
Va, in the Slst year of her age.
In tribute to her memory, the Troy Daily
Times remarks that Mrs. Read had been an in
valid for a great number of years, and although
suffering at times the keenest physical pain, her
earthly pilgrimage was cheered and illumined
by the bright promises of the Gospel. In all
things hers was a Christians life and death:
she bore her suherings with perfect composure
and awaited the summons of departure with
trusting confidence and hope. Her venerable
husband, Father" Read, as he is known in the
Church, still survives her; and in the long years
of their union the two have presented perhaps
the most notable example of mutual love and
Christian lie that we have had in our midst.
The memory of their goodness and virtue will
long endure after their bones shall have crum-
bled into dust.-ChriS. Observer.
