The New York Intelligencer says:
"Mr. Yallandigham was in this city
few weeks ago, and, We happen to
know, had several interviews with
the powers that be in the awful cir
Gle of Tammany."
One of the Anglo-American tele-
graphic cables has been grappled
and repaired, off Hearts Content,
and the steamefScanderian, Captain
Halpin, will proceed to recover and
repair the other.
The state of the weather is thus
correctly described by contempor-
ary: Yesterday was the hottest
day of the season. So was the day
before, and to-day promises to be
precisely the same thing.
A Hartford boy who went out
West a few years ago, having been
unusually prosperous, generously
remembers his old time friends who
are needy. A poor mechanic of
Hartford was recently made happy
by the receipt of $4,000 from the
friend of his youth.
Clergyman are not safe in Mis-
souri,. it would seem. Recently the
Rev. Michael Sones, of Kansas City,
was returning home very late at
night, and, being halted by two sus-
picious-looking persons, whom he
thought were robbers, he started to
run. They fired upon him and
brought him down with a shot in
the leg, so serious as TO require am
putation. They proved to be police
men, and Mr.. Jones will sue the
city for the villainous looks and
murderous character of its guardi-
ans.
HENRY A. WISE has discovered the
cause of the death of James NJ.
Mason, OF Virginia, and gives a di-
agnosis in this unusual language: !:
The disasters 10 the South, the
wounds to his pride, the aching
agony of seeing all his hopes of
liberty, relf government, and State
Rights blasted, tie desecration of
sacred things and the devastation
and decentralization he witnessed on
coming home, were too much tension
on the nerves Of a9 eyed man OF
DELICATE sensibilities and + Pond
sense of helar, and he could no
longer endure"

For the benefit of those of our
readers who may not wish 10 take
the time to read the resolutions of
the Democratic party passed at
their late Convention held at Col
umbus last week, and which will be
found in another place in this paper,
we have taken the pains TO condense
them so as TO let every reader know
at glance what they say to the
people. After considerable hugging
and smiling and shedding of tears
over the burial of the past, by some,
and something else by Others, and
after looking through a microscope
of immense magnifying powers un-
til their eyes got sore, or at least
got a little pool in them, they dis
covered that for the present the mig
er was white man, and passed the
following resolutions, in substance:
Resotced. That the Republican
party has been right, and the Dem
ocratic party wrong for the past ten
years.
Resolred, That we Nj now take
up the Republican platform. as our
principles, is We may thereby de
ceive the people and stand some
chance of electing our ticket. and
after we get power will resurrect
our past ten years record.
Resolced. That if the people of
Ohio will now put us into power We
will do in the State affairs As is our
custom in county. and town matters,
increase the taxes and provide for
our own pockets financially.
Resolred, That every member of
the Democratic party take a dose of
these n 18th Amendment pills
which - are well sugar coated
with Vallandigham's patent ''New
Departure preparation. Dose
take one whenever you meet col
ored brother.
Resolued. That if the negro will
vote our ticket, we will hold the
offices and divide the spoils among
the office holders.

We find few Democrats who
hold fast to the principles of that
party as advocated during the past
tea years, because they say if we
want to vote Republican principles
we will vote gith the Republican
party.

"a WHITE HUSBAND OR NONE"

What will our democratic friends
do with all the banners bear
ing the striking and dignified
motto: "a white husband or none,'
which they have been carrying for
several years? AS there will be no
use for them in Ohio or Indiana,
they should be transferred to the
Kentucky Democracy. Leslie, not
having departed, can use the anti
negro productions.

NO SECESSION SAT THIS TIME"

The Southern people will hardly
swallow Mr.. Vallandigham's resol-
utions, so far as they refer to the So
called Constitutional Amendments,
Civil Rights bill, and now incorpo-
rated into the laws of the land. Our
people are willing to accept and
have accepted in good faith the
solution of the great questions de-
cided by the arbitratment of the
sword. Slavery and Secession are
dead, and the Southern people do
not desire to reestablish the -one or
agitate the other at this time, We
do not want to deprive any man, no
matter what his color or condition
may be, of his legal rights; but our
people cannot give their constitu
tional edicts as part and parcel of
the organic law. Our people, though
they may be powerless to defend
themselves, cannot give their assent
to any measure which assumes that
Congress, or the President with his
army and navy, has the power to
invade the State, overthrow the Gov
eminent, and arrest and imprison
it's citizens. If Mr.. Yalandigham
means to accept the amendments
which confer the arbitrary power
here referred to, we cannot accept
that portion of his platform which
marks such an extraordinary depart
ure from the time-honored princi-
pies of Democracy. And, unless
we do not understand Alright the
views of our people, the Georgia
Democracy cannot accept Mr.. Val
landigham's platform.-Augnsta

Resolced, That we accept the sit
uation because we cant help it, and
that we swallow the negro, all the
amendments and anything and eve :
rything else that may assist in get
ting US into power.
The issue of the Convention was
solely whether the platform should
declare the sentiments of the party
or whether they should put on a false
face. Who will be deceived?
The Democratic party condemns
itself. 1t either acknowledges that
it has been wrong,and has been en-
deavoring to deceive the people dur
ing the past ten or twelve years, or
it is willing now to deceive and
cheat the people.
We always did believe that the
Democratic Leaders would do most
anything to get control of the State
and National governments, but we
cannot believe that the mass of the
party will permit itself to be lead
around by the nose in such a way
and manner.
The difference between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties is
this: The former to-day holds to
its principle of ten years standing,
while the latter has been 4 party of
annual changes until it has finally
run out Of material for platforms
and has taken up its abode upon q
platform composed principally of
Republican material, which they will
abandon if they ever get the con
trolling power.
1t is fact that cannot be denied
that the Democratic party is behind
the times. In more instances than
this one, it has been compelled to
acknowledge that it was wrong, and
the Republican right, after a few,
years of hanging back.

The Very Best.

The question is often asked why the
Howe Sewing Machine is the best. The
answer Is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used a Howe Machine pronounces it the
most complete. Its work speaks for it
seif. No other machine has such unan-
imous testimony IN its behalf. Every
body praises it, and no family SHOULD be
without it. II you wish a MOL ma

BEREAvEMENTS,

1t is not often that a man is call
ed to suffer from succession of
bereavements such as have fallen to
the lot of the Rev. DIR. Woolsey,
president of Yale college. In 1862
he parted from his wife and daugh-
ter. In 1861 a son and daughter
were removed within a months
space. In view of these singular
providences occurring at regualar
intervals of nine years each, he oc-
casionally remarked that, although
he was not superstitious at all, he
dreaded 1870. Unfortunately his
gloomy forebodings must then have
experienced complete realization,
for not only a brother and a sister,
but two favorite daughters were fol
lowed to the grave. But as fine
gold from the retiner's fire, his char
acter becomes purer, nohler, insur
ing as well the veneration as the
love of all who know him.

EDITOR HKRALD:-ln your paper few
numbers back, you publisheda an account
OF Bachelors Hall" in our town, also
its objects, as published, was to protect
its members from the assaults of the la
dies. Now sir, a few months back an
attack WAS made on this institution OF
ancient honorables, which, notwith-
standing their individual, as well as
collected vigilance, has robbed them of
one oftheir novitiates, and ono too on
whom they strongly relied, and they
felt sure he would soon VOW eternal cell
bacy, and enter into full fellowship.
But who can insure success to any hu-
man institution? For while this novice
was passing along the banks of old Duck
River, perhaps admiring the melody of
its rolling waters and thinking that this
lonely melody reminded him OF his con-
nection with his ancient brethren, a lit
tie Cupid, whose arrows make such sad
havoc sometimes in communities, felled
him. Adam-tthere!I had liked 10 have
told his nathe,} as soon as he regained his
feet, though severely wounded, returned
home. Some thoughtless bird. it must
have been, for Adam lived all alone, i'm
mediately informed the brotherhood.
and instantly the enraged President pub
lished decree that if the said Adam. af-
ter recovering from his wounds, again
ventured in that vicinity, he should have
his head severed from his BODY. and hay
ing some experience in such matters, or.
dered their vigilance committee to be
doubly vigilant. But Adam, it seemed,
did not want to recover, for he looked
upon that wound as treasure, and if il
began to heal, he would stealthilv revisit
the same place that he might be woond-
ed again. -. u.
On last Thursday morning, with bach
elor's vigilance almost at his heels. and
their decree laundering in his ears, hay
ing commission in bis pocket from our
honorable County Court Clerk, and in
company with a member OF said Court,
he visited again that fatal place, and al
though pursued TO tha very spct BY said
Committee. yet by the aid of his compan-
ion and commission, he espied, captured
and carried away safely the authoress OF
all this mischief, and has Imprisoned her
fer life in his own mansion. He has al
so iecreed that as a punishment, that
she shall hereafter not be called Mary F.
Hughes, but Mary F. Kinzer. The bach
elors that evening held a lodge ofsorrow,
but we are not advised whether for their
erring brother or for themselves.

Wayne CountyJau DeIi,cry

The Wayne County Jail was broken
open last Sunday night. and two prison
ers, Allen Sparkman, COL, and Gilead, a
white prisoner, escaped. Sparkmsn was
found guilty of grand larceny, by the
Circuit Court, on Saturday previous, and
sentenced to the penitcntiary for ten
years. We understand that the Jail
er, Mr.. NJ. J. Sims, has offered reward
of one hundred dollars Cor the apprehen-
sion of Sparkman. The excellent Cir
cult Court Clerk, John II. Cole, would
have brought him to the Maury County
Jail last Tuesday, on the way to the Pen
itentiary. Gilead is a painter, and was
also charged with grand larceny, but his
case had been continued TO future court.
The Jail was broken open in this way:
The entrance to the cell was through q
trap door lin the floor above, and the
hinges of The trap door were burned
around with red hot iron. The Jailor
gave the prisoners fire to prevent them
from freezing, and ii is thought that the
iron was given to them through the CRATE
By some friend or accomplice. 1t is be-
lieved that Sparkman is In the vicinity
of Mt. Pleasant.
