THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

The Doyleston, Pennsylvania
Democrat, in an able article on the
political situation and the duty OF
Democrats in the coming Presiden'
tial contest, says, to be successful,
the Democrats must wage an aggres
sive contest, and there never has
been such an opportunity for sue
cessful attack. We can arraign the
party in power for an unparalleled
expenditure in conducting the Gov
eminent; for keeping up war taxes
in time of peace; for emasculating
the industrial interests of the conn
try In order to squeeze out of it the
means to pay a fraction of the public
debt. In order to direct attention
from these objects, Grant has suf-
fered himself to beled by ''Spoonie''
Butler, and others of his calibre,
and has virtually re-opened the
whole scheme of reconstruction,
selzing power, in doing so, never
yielded to any man by a people de-
serving to be free. Let us change
the attitude of parties. The Demo
Gratis % wisely accept the situation
in counseling the maintenance of the
secured to all classes by the
recent amendments to the Constitu-
ton. The manne in which the
amendments were secured, or the
wisdom of that one which placed,
for the time being. a rae Just eman-
from hereditary servitude to
ascendancy in the great States of the
Union, may well be questioned. But
the Democratic party proposes to
make the best of them, while their
opponents seek to Use them as pre-
texts for virtually changing u sys-
TEN of government, and substituting
for a written Constitution the dis
cretion' of a personal Government.
The fundamental issue now is: Shall
our form of government be saved to
US and to our posterity? That pub
lie man who represents this issue
will be satisfactory to us as a candi-
date from whatever quarter he may
be selected. Mere partisan warfare
is overshadowed by the issue the
Radicals have presented in the legis-
lation of the present Congress-in
a President, who aspires to
be his own successor, the power to
bring free elections to a close in this
country by making them a mockery
and a fraud.

The Widows Troubles.

The widow Spencer was all ready to
keep Thanksgiving in her cosy, little
wood -colered farm house. There was a
turkey fiat on his back in the brick oven,
and there were cranberry tarts, and gold
en-tinted pumpkin pies, and chicken pas
tries to bear him company, and the big
gcst red apples were polished till they
shone like magnificent carbuncles, and
the juciest nuts were cracked, and the
best china-white, with red rose-buds
painted in the center of each picce-was
brought out ready for use.
1t was snug little domicile, with low
mossy ves,reaching nearly to the ground,
and little eahess woodbine, and n mon.
ster maple spreading its protecting arms
over the whole roof, and raining down
the red and golden leaves in jeweed
showers when the October blasts were
reveling in its giant limbs. And there
was an old fashioned well behind the house
with huge sweep and bucket, whose
dripping coolness made you thirsty, only
to look at it, and fragrant barn standing
little way back behind n sentinel row of
apple trees Altogether it was such a
homestead as you meet dozen times n
day in Connecticut-a place where you
would imagine perfect peace and rest to
be found
The widow sat before the fire in her
snutf-colorcd bonbazinc, with its cape and
frll, solemnly watching the red shoots of
flame dart in and ont among the great
resin-dripping logs on the hearth
"For | do dcspise your new-fangled
stoves to sit by !" said the widow with
great emphasis.
Susan, her eldest child fair-haired
girl of twenty,with soft wine colored eyes
and complexion to which the roses came
and went at every breath, was arranging
some gorgeous white and crimson chrys-
antheums in a handsome pitcher, so that
the starry flowers and dropping foliage
should conceal the inartistic chalice.-

Charley was home for his Thanksgiv-
ing too-home from his New York clerk
ship,wherc he had lost the red and brown
of his rustic complexion, and gained that
indescribable off hand air of city ease,
that the widow marvellcd at, but could
not explain. And even little Tom, who
was errand boy at Squire Parker's coun-
try store at seventy-fivc cents aud his
board, was pryng surreptitiously into the
oven, when his mothers back was turned
and grimacing joyfully at the big and
distant dish Of raisins on the top shelf of
the pantry.

said Tom who had weakness for good
things to eat and drink.
"Well, children" groaned the mother,

considerate friend presented Mr.. Sewar d
with a huge petriaction from some stone
quarry. This proved perfect fossil elc-
phant, and after the shins Of the entire
party had suffered fearfully, it was left
behind us-by accident. of couse-at
Pueba. The next day we were congratu-
lating ourselves on the loss, when Pedro,
one of the servants who had accompanied
US across the continent, came smiling up
of the coach door, with the monstrosity
carefully done up in rag-he had car
ried it this way the entire distance, and
was proudly conscious of having, in SO
doing, deserved well of his country and
mankind in general. He was duly
thanked, Of course, and We kicked it
about from one side of the coach to the
other, with many secret blessing on the
donor and the faithful servant who had
returned it,

The Capture Of Filkius
now IT WAS EFFEcrEp-IIpw HE TALKS
AND ACTs-AN ATTEMPT TO PROVE AN
ALIBI.

The news Of the capture of John |.
l'ilkins, the suspected express robber and
would-be assassin, Wednesday sent thrill
of excitement throughout this section OF
the country, for now it can doubtless be
definitely ascertained whether he is the
criminal or not. His arrest, as already
stated, was effected at Schroon on Mon
day night at about II o'clock. The large
reward offered for his apprehension by the
authorities of Albany and the express
company, aud the fact that he was known
to be somewhere North ofSaratoga on his
way to Canada, put everybody in that
section on the watch for him and stimu-
lated the officials in Saratoga, Washing
ton, Warren and other Northern Counties
to unusual exertions in the public srevice.
Among those who started out in search
ofhim were officer Thomas, Deputy Sher-
if lngraham and VIM, A. Arthur of
Whitehall They traced him from Doe s
Corners to the toll gate five miles be-
yond,) thence to Lake George, where all
trace ofhim was lost on Sunday. The
officers pushed for Pottersville AMI re-
mained there during the night. On their
way they left Il full and accutc descrip-
tion Of Filkins at all the taverns and
public places. On Mondy morning they
proceeded to Schroon Lake, nine miles
North of Pottersville, and left a discrip-
tion of Filkins with John Burr, proprietor
of the Ondawa Hotel, at that place.
They then started for Pottersyille. and
about 8 P. m, they met man answering
the description of Filkins walking along
the highway. They drove by him, and
