A few days ago gentleman raped at the
door of a tenement in this city, and voice
family esponded-"Come in" Upon open
ing the door and entering the room he beheld
a woman, pale and emaciated, reclining on a
scantily furnished bed; her features indicated
a degree of culture and refinement not at all
in keeping with her surroundings. The room
though tidy, probably did not contain fifteen
dollars worth of household furniture includ-
ing a small stove, and the bed on which the
suffering woman lay. In reply to inquiries
she said her disease was chronic; that she
never received but little care from her hus
band, who then was on a "drunk" and had
been for four days. that she had had no food
for the three days preceding; that her hus-
band generally returned home about dark,
but beat and abused her cruelty; that that
morning he ''carried away three bottles and
the last two dollars in the house," that there
was no provisions of any sort in the house nor
any wood for fire. She said she had been
unable to get any body to ask the city authori-
ties to take her to the aims house; she im-
plored that she might go there before her
husband returned at night. The gentleman
promised her that the overseers of the poor
should be made acquainted with her condi-
ton, at which assurance her countenance ex-
pressed deep satisfaction. In the course of
two or three hours she was tenderly conveyed
to the poor-hOuse, where, two days subse-
quently, she breathed her last. Her burial
took place in due time, but her husband,
whom she once dearly loved and implicitly
trusted and who once swore her to love hon
or and cherish until death should part, was
the same hour arrested for drunkenness and
disorder and incarcerated in the county Jail

A private note from J. c. Greeley, Esq,
Assistant Assessor u. S. Internal Revenue at
jacksonville, Fla, dated Sept. 18th, says:
"You have probably seen the account of
the terrific storm which visited this State on
the 18th and again on the Gath of Aug. The
published accounts north are generally ex-
aggerated, SO far as the damage to property
inland is concerned, but not exaggerated at
all concerning the wrecks on the coast. There
were three vessels wrecked between st. Johns
Bar and St. Augustine and between St. Au
gustine and Cape Florida we don't know how
many yet, but the coast is strewn with timber
and cargoes from vessels. We have quite re-
covered FROM the storm and have escaped the
yellow fever so far but we are now threatened
with Tidal Wave, so feet high on the
9th of Oct. however, that has not disturbed
us much"
Mr.. Greeley is Kennebec boy, and we
are glad to hear from him occasionally.

GENERAL GARFIELD arrived in New York
on Monday last, and in conference with The
Tribune folks, said the Democrats have suffer
ed heavy loss in the death of Vallandighan,
who was about the only prominent man in the
party in Ohio who was thoroughly H. earnest
about the "Ncw Departure" doctrine, which
drags heavily in the canvass without his pow
crlul advocacy that while the success of the
Republican State ticket is regarded as certain,
there is danger that the Democrats may re-
ceiye majority in the Legislature, which
would give them United States Senator in
place of Hon. John Sherman, and also the re-
arranging of the Congress districts. 1t is re-
garded rs unfortunate that the friends of the
several Republican candidates for the Senator
ship are bringing the question into the pres
ent canvass, and endeavorng to control the
County Conventions, in order to secure the
nomination of members OF the Legislature
pledged TO vote for their favoritcs. This in
augurates local contests in the party which,
if continued, will cndanger its success in the
close counties The opinion is becoming more
and more common, especially since the fact
has lecome better understood that McCook
is iuilure, that the Republican State ticket is
safe, and the only serious contest remaining, is
to secure the Legislature. To this object the
Democrats are turning their attention, and
they gather confidence from the c0ntompla-
tion and survey of the field. Though our Re-
publican friends understand this and fully ap-
prcciate the Importance of checkmating their
willy opponents, they appear not to be fully
aliYc to action to meet the case, and make q
clean sweep of Legislature as well as State of
ticcrs. Cannot our aspirants for the Senate
keep down their itching ambition that would
jeopardize the return of Republican, in the
effort to oresall sentiment in their respective
favor, by attempting TO manipulate primary
meetings3 Surely, as tho Tribune says, it is
disgraceful enough for Ohio to have divided
Senatorial delegation, but how shall we with
stand the accumulated and intensified disgrace
of loss of the whole. Let any one who
shows his hand in the way intimatcd meet
the cold shoulder, and let us work single eyed
for the object ~ securing Republican Legis-
hturc leaving the question about who is to be
returned to the Senate for decision by the As
semby when elected.

The public may-well doubt the hon.
esty of the so-called Democracy in its
sudden conversion on the new amend
msents to the Constitution. How can
they be honest and consistent in declar-
ing their adhesion to those amendments,
and with the next breath denounce the
manner in which they were adopted, as
a fraud. If they were fraWdulently
adopted how can they be binding upon
any man or party. The conviction forces
itself upon every thinking mind that the
desire for political power has gained the
mastery over Democratic consistency
and Democratic honesty.
