The contest in Ohio this year bids
fair to be the l%ivliest and most excit.
ing since the memorable campaign OF
1910. The tissues of the present are
the most important siuce the adoption
of the Federal Constitution. That

may be fully posted upon the great
political struggle which is about to
come off, we propose to furnish the
STATES & USIoN, from May 1st to
October 18th, to clubs Of ten new sub
eeribers, at the low price Of rs cents
each.
Let Clubs be formed in every town

the Democratic majority will be coun-

and names, and ask your conservative
neighbors also to do 30. and We will

The reversal of the legal tender de-
cision which was rendered last fall,
has raised a storm of Radical news
paper indignation which Ulysses little
dreamed of when he packed the Su-
preme Court with his two creatures
Messrs Bradley and Strong-for the
purpose, which had been long threat,
ened, of reversing the previous decis-
ion of that court The New York
papers, the Tribune, the Post, the Times,
the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia
Public Ledger and other Radical jour-
mails handle the above judges without
gloves, and call their appointment and
the decision a "put up job" The
judges are very sore over these Radi-
cal criticisms. Ihave not heard how
Ulysses foels with regard to these
structures, but I guess he does not
take them much to heart, as they don't
touch his weak point-his pocket.

VERSAILLES, May 8.--Nothing of

A new battery a MontreLtout, mount

to-day.
President Thiers has issued a proc
lamation to the people of Paris, III
which he says: The Government
will not lombard the city but will as
sault the ramparts" He requests the
citizens torally round the troops, and
promises in return tor their aid the
granting of an amnesty and the con
tinuance OF the subsidy to the poor.
Theirs in his proclamation to The
people of Paris, says: "The Ger
mans declare that they will ~mercilessly
resume the var unless the insurrection
is at once suppressed" The procla-
nation closes as follows: "keunite
and open the gates to us; the work OF
the cannon will then cease, and tran
guilty and abundance will take its
place. We are marching to deliver
you, and will be among you in a lew

that the Congress of the United States
will be willing to accept and approve

Houses Of Parliament, a result of
which the Times seems to be entirely
confident.

nois that can be found in the case of
any southern state. But while tKu-
Klux' riots are the pretext, they are
not the object of this revolutionary
enactment.
The object is the political suprema-
cy OF the revolutionary party The
French Bonapartes struck down a re-
public for the sake of power. The
American Jacobins are doing exactly
the same thing. Political supremacy
is the end they aim at /; to attain that
end, they are ready to destroy the re-
public. They have proceeded, step by
step, from republicarism toward b.
napartism, until the last PREPARATION
for a successful coup d'etat is attained
in the passage of the force bill. They
have made the issue between the SUI
premacy of the constitution and that
Of a personal ruler. 1t is m issue the
country cannot escape. The contest
between popular government, and per-
sonal. government, between liberty
and despotism, between the law and
sword, must be fought out in the next
general election ; perhaps in the next
war.-Chicago Times.

being a law ofextraordinary pub
lie Importance, l consider it my duty
to issue this, my proclamation, calling
the attention Of the people of the Uni.
ted States thereto"
Dciis Napoleon did not feel the i'm
rortance of his coup d e:at more fully
than our Imperial Master placed in
the White House. Being q law Of
extraordinary public Importance" he
deems it proper to remind the Ameri-
can people of their degradation by a
vile and traitorous Congress. That
the people may see that the law does
not apply to q few marauders in the
South, he says:
1.-THE law of Congress applies to all
parts of the United States and will be
enforced everywhere to the extent of
the powers vested in the Executive"
The law was passed, as was assert
Cd, to put down lawless bands in the
South, but now we. are impudently
told that the whole Union is compos-
ed of marauders, and that the law
will be enforced everywhere !" In
passing that act, Congress makes the
President, Judge, jury and Execu-
toner, authorizes him at his own op
ton, to depose the Governor of Ohio,
declare martial law. take pc session of
our election precincts, imprison the
local press, and by brute force, if he
chooses, consolidate all power in his
own hands.
Do the people need any further evil
dence to convince them that a bold at
tempt is being made to rob them of
their liberties under the bald and hol-
low pretense of putting down local
disturbances in the South. He uses
this threat
II do, nevertheless, deem it n duty
to make known that l will not hesitate
to exhaust the powers thus vested in
the Executive whenever and wherever
it shall become necessary to do So"
This is truly alarming. Won't
some bold and dauntless Chevalier
take down Bombastes' boots? lie

lies right in the path fthe Star of EN-,
pire. It. rum almost Immediately in
the center Of the great westward move
ment of emigration. Crossing ILL
nois and Iowa, it strikes the Missouri
river at three points.
These three points are the gatewaya
into three great sections of the trans
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha. where
the great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth,
which opens npon the south half of
Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a
region unsurpassed on the continent
for agriculture and grazing. just here
are the B. 81 M. Railroad lands, con-
corning which Geo. s. Harris, the
land officer at Burlington, Iowa, can
give you all information, and in the
heart of them is Lincoln, the State
Capital and present terminus of the
road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connections with the st. Joe Road
at Hamburg, running direct to st.
Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run
smoothly and safely, and make all

The Election Farce in Washington

The election, in Washington City
last week, for a Delegate to Congress,
resulted, as might be expected, in the
choice of Gen. Chapman, the candi-
date of the Radicals and negroes, over
Hon, Richard NJ. Merrick, the candi-
date of the Democracy and Conserva-
tives. In a fair election, the Democ-
racy, at anytime could carry WASH
ington by a large majority, but cleo
tions, as conducted in that city. these
latter days, are a mere farce and a
meckery. In the first place, 'forders"
were issued that the clerks in the var
ious departments, who clsim to have
residence in the different States,
should be required to vote for Gen.
Chapman, OIL the penalty Of losing

Governor.

A number of Republican papers
are urging the nomination of He B.
F. Wade, as a candidate, on their
ticket, for Governor. Wade is the
embodiment of modern radical Re
publicanism. Bl~ood-thirsty, tyranni-
cal, ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS, he is
the very man to nominate. Let old
San Domingo, be nominated by all
means and the Democracy will show
you how easy a thing it will be to dis
pose of garrulous, cruel, uncultiva-
ted, vulger old man.

KENTUCKY.
The Democratic State Contention

FRANKFORT, May AFTER six
ballots, and at twelve o'clock last
night, Hon. p H. Leslie was noml-
mated for Governor, over j. Proctor
Knott, who it was generally supposed
would be the nominee.
Knots friends made a mistake in
springing him too soon. Had they
held back till the fourth ballot he
would have been easily nominated, as
predicted yesterday. Mr.. McCreery's
friends refused to allow Beck to
slaughter him.
The. Convention reassembled at 8
o'clock, and went to work in earnest.
/. For the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
five candidates were named, but be-
fore the,vote was announced oil with
drew except Hon. J. G. Carlisle of
Covington, who was nominated by &C
clamation.
For Auditor, D. How ard Smith, of
Owen County, was nominated by &C
clanation, as was also j. w. Tate for
Treasurer. The contest for Attorney
General was spirited, but finally r 9
suited in the nomination of John Rod
man, the present incumbent.
Rev. H. II. Nj. Henderson. of Fay
cite County, was nominated for Super
intendent of Public Instruction, over
four candidates, on the first ballot
The Convention is now engaged In
balloting for Register Of the Land
Office. James A. Dawson, the pres
ent incumbent, will doubtless be Sc
lected. The Convention will adjourn
about two P. M.
The crowd in the city has greatly
thinned out. Many of the delegates
have left, and their votes were cast by
proxy.

Strange Affair.
Il Han Murdered at his Own Request

II Nan Murdered at has Otpn he4uest.
Some days ago we gave an account
of the suicide, in a house of illfame,
of one Daniel E. Hedden, a clerk in
the Paymaster's Depal tment at Oma-
ha. It now turns out that, at his own
request. the girl who was in the room
with him-Cora Clinton-ired the
fatal shot. The following full parti-
culars are from the Omaha Herald, of
April 18th:
Last night, about nine o'clock, the
woman who calls herself Cora Clinton.
and whose name is fresh in the public
mind from her connection with the
awful tragedy in this city, sent for
Captain butcher Of the police force
He went Immediately in answer to the
summons, accompanied by Lieutenant
Frank Schulter, also of the police
They found Cora in the same estab-
lishment where Hedden lost his life
Hester Baldwin's, on Twelfth street,
known as the Cedar Rapids House
Cora at once entered into conversation
with the two officers.
She told them that she had shot
Hedden with her own hands that she
wanted to be taken away from "this
place." meaning Hester Baldwin's es-
tabiishment, and that she did not wish
to have a word said until she was gone
from the house. Captain butcher
gave her in charge of Lieutenant
Schulter, who conducted her t, Jail
Captain butcher remained at the
house u SHIRT time to see if he could
learn anything further from the mis-
tress or the other Inmates, and then
came away. The city editor of this
paper then visited the Jail. Cora
came out from her cell, and was told
that the reporters were present and
that il she had nothing to conceal she
had better relate the circumstances
She was dressed in plain black, was
pale, but did not appear much agita
ID. Turning to us she said: 81 con-
TESS that l killed him" We asked if
she meant Daniel Hedden, and she
said eyes" She continued: He
said he had taken lauianum and asked
me to shoot him. He wanted l should
save his soul from the sin. I thought
the pistol he had vas one he usually
carried and has it was a seven barreled
revolver. I intended to kill myself
with the next load. After l saw that
there was no other load, 1 threw down
the pistol and ran out.
