6. P. Spaulding of Chester has been pros
eeuted by Rev. E. e. Foster, UniversaIist
clergyman of the same place, for Islander or
libel in an article published in the Wood
stock Age. There is division IN the church
and a very bitter quarrel exists between the
two factions, which seems to be headed re-
spectively by the above named persons. Last
week there was another step in the progress
of the quarrel, in the arrest of Mr.. Foster
on a charge of SANDER, and his removal to
Jail. On his arrival at Woodstock, be was
released on bail, which was furnished bv
Hon Julius Converse.

COMING TO CLOSE QUARTERs.-The attacks
on the Ring in New York are coming to
point where Tweed will be obliged to defend
himself or run. Mr.. O'Conor has brought a
suit against Tweed, Woodward and InrersoI
for about six millions OF dollars: which il is
alleged these men have fraudulently taken
out OF the city treasury and put into their
own pockets. The evidence seems very clear.

The Cincinnati Enquirer hints that the
democrats will fllibustar in order to
cause dead lock in the Ohio Senate. The
Republicans have majority only with the
aid Of the Northumberland. The Con-
stitution requires that a majority of all the
members Of each house shall be necessary for
the passage Of any bill. If the democrats
are not pleased with the congressional or
legislative reapportionment to be proposed
by the Republicans, the Enquirer proposes
that one or two dem ocrats leave the Senate
and 20 home on bushes. Ohio aud Indiana
politicians have tried this game TO the ex-
pense of the State before.

RINGING the NoTES.-Mr. Robert Roose-
welt, Democratic member of Congress from
New York city, has, in addition to the expla-
nations which he has given of the mode of
repeating, published the following as one Of
the means by which Tammany manipulated
votes so as to defeat the Will of the people.
" Repeating is expensive; false COUNTING is
troublesome; but this is simple, inexpen-
siye and effective party thus selfcon-
victed of destroying the fundamental right
Of citizenship ought to be eternaIly con-
demned- Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Ringing the votes is a very beautiful ope-
ration, and said by those who have tried it
to be perfect. 1t is now the favorite plan .
i Is simple, inexpensive and effective. When
one OF you good, innocent Republicans, we
will suppose, Is going to the polls to vote
the wrong ticket OF support the wrong men,
as you are 50 fond of doing, your unwise in
tentIons are quietly frustrated The inspec-
tor of election holds in his hand the ballot
you ought to deposit, and when he receives
yours quietly substitutes one for the other.
and drops yours the floor before he puts
his in the box. This is u simple sleight-oC
hand trick, easily learned and readily ar
Piled. 1t, however, you are suspicious, and
watch the official, it the latter Is awkward
and inexperienced, man near by pushes
against you, or the policeman siczes you and
accuses you of having voted before. OF
course ample apologies are Immediately made
tor the rudeness, the inspectors are indig-
nant that SO respectable gentleman should
be lnsulted, they abuse the rough or the DO
lIceman, you are shown out with great re-
spect-but your ballot went down to the
door and the substitute got into the box.
Repeating is expensive false counting is
troublesome-our Tammany men are not ex
perts In arithmetic, and figures are often
very troublesome, as our amiable Comptrol-
Ter will admit at this moment, but ringing
ballots is complete success.

THoNAs EwSG, ST., Of Lancaster, Ohio, died

few remaining statesmen who were in public
life with Clay and Calhoun. In 1880,
he was elected to a seat in the Jnitel States
Senate from Ohio. which he held until 1887.
He then resumed the practice Of law, in
which he had already won great distinction,
and upon Gen. Harrison's election 70 the
presidency was appointed secretary Of the
treasury, but resigned his Office soon after

Gen Taylor in 1910 appointed him to the
newly created office of secretary of the in

few months in the Senate, filing out the un-
expired term OF Thomas C0rwin and in
1851 retired from public life, and thenccforth
devoted himself almost entirely u his profess

He has for some time been in feeble health

The process of the seasons has again en-
abled the husbandmen to garner the fruits of
successful toll. Industry has been generally
well rewarded. We are at peace with all
nations, and tranquility, with few exceptions,
prevails at home. Within the past year we
have in the main been free from ills which
elsewhere have affected our kind. If some
of us have had calamities, there should be an
occasion for sympathy with the sufferers, of
resignation on their part to the will of the
Most High, and of rejoicing to the many
who have been more favored. | therefore
recommend that on Thursday, Both day of
November next, the people meet in their
respective places of worship. and there make
the usual Acknowledgements to Almighty cd
for the blessings He has conferred upon them,
for the merciful exemption from evils, and
invoke His protection and kindness for their
less fortunate brethren, whom, in His Wis
dom, He has deemed it best TO chastisc.
In faith whereof, | have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Was hington, this
twenty eighth day OF October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and

ABOUT GOV. wARMOTM's FOOT!

ltuppears from the local columns of
the New Orleans papers that II. c.
Warmoth, by accident and malicious
design, Governor of this. great State,
upon an excursion the other day in Il
police launch, missed his fOothold and
happened to have his foot severely
bruised. Our city contemporaries, al
most without exception, make this in
cident in the life of an adventurer, the
occasion for lengthy and even prOmi-
nent and minute reports. We are told,
very explicitly, how the Governor
stepped upon a plank, how the plank
careened, and the Governors foot slip
ped from under hin. and was caught
and bruised. His surgeon is brought
in, and all the minute detailed just
the same as il some worthy citizen of
Louisiana We're Governor, instead of II.
G. Warmoth, the bloated Missouri adj
venturer and cowardly ex-army officer
This style of commenting upon War
moths accidents, serious or not, is in
consistent with the oft-repeatcd deuun-
temporarics and with the real position
before the people of this State, the man
occupies. What care the readers of the
New Orleans papers OF the movements
of Warmoth, more than to hear when
he leaves the State and when he returns
to it: Suppose such an intcrloper
should even lose his foot, or even both
feet docs it conport with the dignity and
responsibility Of first-clasS Southern
journals, to speak of the event and of
the man as though he were Il born &C.
NOUS and Il general favorite: Are the
people of the South so lost to the recOl-
lections of the past as to play with the
big toes of the men who have robbed
and oppressed them: Who is II. G.
Warmoth, even if:.he be now dead,
that any good citizen OF Louisiana,
should care a fig as to what might hap
pen to his foot? Is there in the State,
Il man, woman or child, who, retaining
even a lingering thought of the past,
would shed solitary tear if Warmoth
We're even dead and buried? Why,
then, this elaborate and detailed ac-
count of how the fellow had his foot in
jured? Who is he more than the most
unassumiug laborer who tolls upon the
the levee, and the loss of whose life
would be recOunted in the space of ten
lines:
