JUDGE CARTER, Of the U. S. Dis
trict Court hss decided that women

the United States Supreme Court.
The Republican Candidate for
Mayor Of Brooklyn, was cheated out
Of his election by the repeating op-
erations of the Democracy. The
people intend contesting the cleo
ton, and meetings have been held
denounciDg all frauds and misman-
agement in officials.
Medina had a grand celebration
on Wednesday last over her railroad.
The first train from Cleveland, on
the Tuscarawas valley road, reached
there that day. A grand dinner,
much iollideation and heaps of bun
comb, adorned the festive occasion.
Henceforth Medina viii belong to
the World, and she may reasonably
be expected to grow and wax fat.
FROM the Detroit Tribune we get
the welcome intelligence that not
over fee per cent of the standing
pine timber ofMichigan, was touch
ed by the forest fires, and that not
more than one per cent of that will
be lost. The balance will be made
available for market, at an increased
cost to the owner however. This
result is ascertained by actual sur
vey of the burnt district. q
The Pope has asked an asylum of
Franco and Theirs has plsced at his
disposal the Castle of Pau. Theirs
is said to have tried to dissuade him
from leaving Rome, but he is de-
termined to DO so. And now comes
the report that he don't mean to quit
Rome and never did. So much for
submarine news. 1t is unstable as
water and shall not excel" although
there is some sell about it.
WESTERN swindlers have new
idea. Armed with revolver and a
fictitious commission, duly sealed
and red tapped, they call upon a
simple minded farmer in some lone
ly spot and represent themselves as
government money inspectors. AT
ter they get all the funds in the
house in their possession, they
mount feet horses and leave the be-
wildered s. m. f. in a cheerful state
ofimpecuniosIty.
The investigation of the election
frauds, at Brooklyn, n. N, reveals
the fact that over 1000 fraudulent
Democratic votes were polled. The
canvassers have, therefore, given
certificates of election to most of the
Republican candidates on the Coun-
ty ticket and to all the Republican
candidates on the city ticket includ-
ing the Mayor. What a delectable
party that "good old Democratic or
ganization'' is? How upright and
honorable are its ways?
RUSSIA is keeping its greedy eye
on Persia, and stands waiting at the
gates ready to demand admittance,
when the people have become too
weak to offer resistance. This coun-
try has passed through three years
of terrible drouth and famine, which
have swept away many of its inhab
itants, and the fourth promises to
add even greater horrors to the ex-
perience Of this unhappy people.
Russia is waiting only for the pro-
per time to arrive, when it will take
possession.
The ELECTIONS of last week have
brought the Democracy to realize
that there is no hope for them, as
party organization in 1872, and they
are now favoring the nomination of
some disaFected Republican, like
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, as a can
didate for President, in the fond
hope that thus they may compass
the defeat of the regular Republi-
can nominee. But it will not do.
The people will recognize the ass
under the lions skin, and treat it as
it deserves to be.
CHoLERA-The steamship Franklin
of the new Baltic Lloyd line, arrived
at NeA York from Stetlin and Co
penhagen, a few days ago, with a
number of cases of cholera on board.
She sailed on the 18th ult., and
when ten days out cholera was de-
veloped. Forty-one deaths occurred
during the voyage. Twenty-six
cases were transferred to the West
Bank Hospital, and the vessel de-
tanned at quarantine to be disinfect-
ed. These are the first cases on our
shores, ald lead to the impression
that we will not escape a visitation
of fhe dread scourge the coming
simmer. The necessary sanitary
regulations should be enforced
throughout the country.
