THE New York World says that
Grants reorganization is inevitable; !;
that in New York, where there is the
strongest Republican opposition to it,
Tom Murphy has beaten it; that the
only chance for the Democracy is to
beat Grant in the election, which
they must do by no more driving OF
Republicans back, as in '6S; by mo
more greenback heresies no more
denunciation OF negro suffrage; 10
more attempts to roll back the earth
in its axis, and put everything where
it stood in the administration of Presi-
dent Buchanan; no more selection of
candidates foredoomed to defeat from
the moment of their nomination; no
more placing a bull on the track to
butt the coming locomotive" and
several other no mores, when are of
what they did before. The negative
part is easy, but the positive is the
rub; but this is in vague terms to
nominate candidate who will draw
disafected Republicans from Grant
This cutting off of everything behind.
and leaping into the dark for chance
of success, seems very bold; but to
our view there is nothing more beau
tiful than the worship of the princi-
Piles of pure Democracy, as set forth
in the resolutions Of '99.-Cineinaati

The Late Rise in Coffee.

II the following figures, given by a
well posted writer in the New York
Nation, can be relied the late advance
in the price of Coffee is not attributed
to failure of the crop. The plea is
mere ruse of the spectators, who
had bought up the crop. He says
"rhere is no deficiency in the crop
,sor in It's supply to the United States.
From .ranuary to June, 1870, Rio
Janeiro e,por..ced to this country $40,
,ee bags of coffee, while during the
cor -esponding period of the current
wear il exported to the same destna-
ton 645.74.. bage- or about twenty

Considering that 81. ~cantun of
1870, more than eighty PEI con-.
all the coffee consumed in this
try, and even allowing that the sup
ply from all other quarters was done
for the present year, there is no de
ficiency in all the gross supply, and
indeed, the crop in Rio alone. is now
more by 65S,o0o bags, as compared
with the last one.,,

A Bold ROBBERY.

The usual quiet of our city was
disturbed on last Friday night by n
most daring and successful robbery.
Capt. William Buchanan, of this CITY,
was the victim. Early last week
Capt. Buchanan left Wooster for
Pittsbnrg to dispose of two car loads
Of sheep. He transacted his busi-
ness by Thursday evening, intending
to return home on the IL O'Clock
A. M. train of Friday, which he ac-
cidentally missed. He accordingly
left on the afternoon train which
brought him to Wooster at 0 o'clock
in the evening. He had considerable
of funds with him: $3.50 in currency
belonging to Mr. Gorge Carol, who
resides near Big Prairie, $500 in cur
rency belonging to himself, and two
drafts on New York, one of 5000
payable to himself, and one of Si60
PAYABLE to Mr.. w. Glasgo, who lives
near Wooster, in all Sl460 in cnrren-
cy, and $1,000, in drafts, all of which
was taken from his person. On
alighting from the train he took his
usual route home, up Cunningham
street to the first ally running east
aud west, where he turned in,
when he discovered two men ap-
preaching him. AS he neared them
they separated and in passing be-
tween them he felt a powerful grip
on his throat. He struggled to re-
lease himself and in the scufiie he re-
ceived heavy blow on the forehead
from a slung-shot, which rendered
him insensible. He has no recoliec-
ton what occurred after this. On re-
covering he found himself laying
PROSTATE and bleeding. He tried to
get up, taking hold of the fence to
steady himself. For short time he
groped along the fence totally uncon-
scious of the direction in which he
was moving. He fell a secoud time
insensible, but finally succeeded IL
reaching his own door, which was
not tar distant, where ..e was discov-
cred by his wife, in speechless con-
dition Wooster Republican.

Up to the time of the exposure of
the pillage of New York City, the
whole Democratic party was united in
denying the election frauds which
furnished the facilities for the plumber,
and in denouncing all the measures
by which the Republicans have vainly
sought to secure honest elections but
when this exposure of Democratic
plllage of that great city could no
longer be resisted, nearly the whole
Democratic party turned States evil
dence, and testified to the organized
scoundrelism by which the citizens
had first been robbed of their votes,
preparatory to robbing them of their
property. So the whole Democratic
party denied the existence of the Ku
klux organization, and Of ary armed
interference with law, and most malig-
nantly assailed every measure Of the
government to protect its citizens :;
and now, in single county in South
Carolina, the county of York, more
than 800 men have come IN and sur
rendered as Ku- Klux, to the United
States army officer, Maj Merrill, ask
ing the clemency of the government,
and making confessions which impli-
cate the greater part of the white resi-
dents of the county.-Cincinnati Ga

ELoPEMENT.-The good deople of
Bath have for some time past been
greatly excited over the "eceentric'
conduct of one of their hitherto staid
and respectable citizens. Mr.. Levi
Seller is man somewhat past middle
age, and was living in apparent rural
felicity with the wife of his youth,
until recently, upon their snug little
farm in the township of Bath. The
union bad been blessed with one son
who, now young man grown, is
every way worthy and respectable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seller, having no
daughter of their own. some years
since adopted, or took into their fam
ily to bring up. a little orphan girl OF
the neighborhood, by the name OF
Henrietta Brown, who is at the pres
ent time about twenty years of age.
Some time last spring Mr.. Seller sold
his farm, taking a small payment
down and notes and mortgage fol
the balance Between two and three
weeks ago Mrs. Seller went on visit
to some friends in Stark county, and
in her absence Mr.. S. converted his
notes into cash at one of the banks in
this city, and with the girl Henrietta
left for parts unknown, not only leav.
ing his wife entirely destitute, but
taking with him, it is alleged, the
better portion of her clothing also,
and as it is supposed about $500 in
money. 1t is most heartless deser-
ton of true and faithful wife who
has done her full share towards earn,
ing the money which he has thus en-
tirely appropriated to his own base
purposes. The people of Bath are
justly indignant at the conduct of Mr.
Seller, and are extending to Mrs. S
their hearty sympathy in Ter grea
sorrow.--Beacon.

TIE London Times is in a position


The London Times is in position
to enable it to speak with authority
of the feeling that prevails in EIrope
concerning the next presidential cleo
ton. This paragraph is noteworthy.
The interests of England and the
United States are now so interviews en-
in commercial, and therefore, also, l.,
political matters, that the character of
the American Executive is ofno small
importance to US, and we believe the
general opinion TO be that the States
have never had a government more
straightforward and conciliatory than
the present in Its foreign policy and
more to be trusted by those whose
commercial and financial interests
are bound up with the maintenance Of
American credit. The firmness and
moderation with which order has been
restored, the economical skill with
which the debt has been reduced, and
the good will with which internation-
al controversies have been brought to
aclose, make US anticipate with salts
faction the election Of Gen. Grant to
second term Of office. as

The talk about the Democrats and

The talk about the Democrats and
''disaffected Republicans getting up
diversions against the election of a
Republican United States Senator as
successor of John Sherman, is so
much vain and empty habble. The
report of such a conspiracy and de.
fectioD from the ranks Of Republican
members of the legislature. hardly
merits denial. But lest some weak
souls should be disturbed by it, we
may quote the Cincinnati Commercial
as saying that the use of Gen. Cox's
name as a Democratic-R Republican
candidate for the Senate, is entirely
without his authority; and further,
the declaration of Senator Sherman,
that 'there is not a Republican elect
ed to the state legislature whom he
would suspect of making combina-
ton with the Democrats 10 defeat
the Republican nomination" Sena-
tor Sherman further says that I" all
talk about members being pledged to
him is pure fiction. So far as he
knows, every member is entirely free
to decide for himself what Republican
ought to be nominated, and all will
abide the decision of the majority"
We believe Senator Sherman is right !;
whoever is nominated by the Repub-
lican caucus, will get the full Repub-
lican vote on the final ballot, and be
elected, whether he be Senator Sher-
man or any other man.-Cleveland

ssOur Mex. SENATOR


!. The Kenton Republican, of last
week in an Editorial on the above
subject, says:
The late campaign which has just
ended so successfully in this State,
was fought on the election of sena-
tor,-the republicans won and won
decisively. John Sherman was the re-
cognized man everywhere for the
position, and the democracy made a
fierce and unrelenting war upon him.
The strenuous effort put forth by
them to defeat him is good and suffi-
cient reason why he should be return
ed to that body. He is strong man
and one whom they fear. Certain it
is that he has filed his position SIS
chairman of the Finance Committee
with credit TO the State and the coun-
try. The republican party of Ohio
have right to expect his reelection
and would not be satisfied with any
other. They have no reason to fear
otherwise, and the palaver OF the
democratic press is merely wish
fathe,:;ng the thought The country
is safe in ms hand and he enjoys the
abiding confde,. ce ofhis constituents.
