FAMILY HoRRoR BY gentleman who
arrived in this city from CarrolltOn, Greene
county. Illinois, yesterday, says the PITTS
burg Post of SAturnay last. we learn the
general facts concerning = startling crime in
that vicinity. It involves the family of
widowed daughter of a late governor of llli-
nois. For some time susPicions have been
had that all was not right with q young
daughter belonging to the family, who be-
came tho object of nsighbUrhood scandal.
Two three weeks ago she WAS taken very
sick. and the aid of physician WAS called
in, ny whom, she " as found to bs in labor
He eontented himself by prescribing, but. as
he now says. did not remain until the de-
noHement. Several days having passed, and
matters reauraing their ordinary course, with
out any apparent change in the number Of
the family, suspicion was excited, which
becoming somewhat uncomfortable to the
physician referred to. led him to make a
clean breast of his knowledge of the affair
On Wednesday last matters came to . crisis,
resulting in = search Of the premises. Ply
siciaus who examined the remains gave it
as their opinion that the child had been born
alive. Our informant states that the widow
her daughter, and = sou-in-aW, whose wife
10 now dead, but who Is suspected of know
ing quite too much of the affair, have been
arrested and held for examination. The
community are reported to be very much
excited over the affair in their midst.

The UnkIndesa Cu. Of All.

A few days prior to the last election the
beads Uf departments at Washington kindly
permitted the Pennsylvania clerks in the
emPlov of the government TO earp6 bag into
this State for the purpose Of voting for GeA-
y and Williams. Having performed this
sacred political duty. these patriotic gentle

Isntly stole away. Those clerks have society
at Washington called THE PennSylvsnis
Republican Association Of " Washington City" !"
On last Saturday two weeks formal meet
ing Of the Association was held for the pur-
peso Of expressing their exoltation over the
result of the election In this State. The

Editor FTeeman-I see by your paper
that the Chairman of the Democratic Coun-
| ty COMMITTEES has notified the several mem
bers thereof to meet in EbensbuTg on Mon
day. Dec. 9Th, to determine how and when
the question OF change in the mode of NOM
mating our county tickets shall be submitted
to the Democtacy of the county. This is q
wise movement, for unless some change is
made there arc fatal breakers ahead. / un-
derstand that two plans are talked about
One is what is called the "Cra wford County
System" under which the members of the
party in each election district would vote di
rect for all the candidates tu be elected in the
ensuing fall. The other plan is to allow
each district one delegate, and then to in
crease the number according to fred ratio
based on the vote polled in the several dis
tricts at the last Presidential election. /
have heard this subject discussed good deal
oy the Democrats Of this place. as we'll az
oy the Democrats of Allegheny township,
and I speak within the bounds of truth
when l say that nine te1iths of them are in
favor OF the Crawford county system. Tbey
bsieve that they are better qualified to vote
for the candidates of their choice than del
egate convention is to select them. We are
sick and tired Of the delegate system. and
do not want to have anything more to do
with 1t IN any shape whatever. It has been
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
We now want the nominating system chang
ed, so that we can vote on the square for the
persons we deem tho most competent and
deserving for tho respective offices. Gre0ot
the Democratic voters intelligent and honest
enough to do this, or must it be done for
them in less thar three hours by conven-
ton composed perhaps of more than one
hundred delegates2
The action Of the committee, at its meet
Ing, will be watched with deem interest est. -
Let it submit the " Crawford County Svstenon
and the Increased Delegate Sys.emv TO a
vote of the Democracy of the county. at an
election to be held on the day that the Spring
elections have heretofore been he'd The
result. whatever 1t may be. must prove sat-
