ham from hiA the, said Horns, cellar.
The case was ably argued BY John
B. Ennis for plaintiff, and VIM. H.
aescr for defence, and, after absorb
ing the attention of the learned
Court and profound Jury for some
tm mortal days. was decided At IN
early hour yesterday morning.
Az that hour il was announced
that the jury were ready to be de-
livcred Of their momentous decis-

room was speedily packed with an
eager crowd, all intent to hear the
decision which was to stand as q

eign advices report that in Persia chol-
era and famine are still making fear
full ravages among the people On
August 5 a telegram received by the
Golata Board of Health from Tabrees
reports the rapid spread of cholera in
that city. During the previous week
the deaths from the epidemic averaged
two hundred a day, and when the tel
eSram was dispatched the inhabitants
were flying in thousands. Intelligence
from Tabrees of the the sanfAdate
states that the famine in the Southern
Provinces instead of abating, was
worse than ever.
The Letante Herald publishes a
statement that in Dorassan one-third
of the whole population has persisted
from starvation, and at Ispahan n 10 less
than twenty-seven thousand souls have
succumbed to it. Ever since the
Shah's pilgrimage to Keobala, cholera
typhus, smallpox, famine and cattle
plague have combined to ruin the
country.

Explained.

The Republican stumpers and lead
ers have invented a new method for
explaining away the unnumbered de-
~falcations and financial robberies by
the officials of the Republican party.
To escape the censure and condemna-
ton of the people, they set up the beg
cling excuse that the officers alluded
TO have not, as yet, adjusted" their
balances! Precisely J! When tie re
port that an other government officer
has defaulted in the sum of one or two
hundred thousand dollars is heralded
to the taxpayers. these Ring mas
tiers" of Grants administration cry out
He has not had time to adjust his
balances yet" A large number of
these defaulting rascals have been out
of Office from one to three years, and
yet Grant and his Heads of Depart
ment have failed to have them ascer-
tain and pay in their balances! Last
week, the Ashland Times took up the
impotent excuse put forward by John
Sherman, Morton and others, and
claims that the balances are simply
u1adjusted accounts! Very true, but
why don't the administration of Grant
and company compel the adjustment
of said balances? If a government
officer, as in the case of Bailey, steals
five or six hundred thousand dollars
and runs away to Europe, he is not a
thief, but his accounts are simply I'M
adjusted? Of all the weak and con-
temptible excus offered to extenuate
the conduct of the unprosecuted gov
eminent thieves this is the baldest.
The plea of "insanity," heretofore offer
ed, is now abandoneda as an excuse. If
our Republican contemporaries do not
intend to be charged with Insanity"
for such an invention, they should at
ono place themselves right on the
record by joining us in d~enouncing
the thieves, and thus help make an
example of the dishonest ~rascals who
are eating cut the substance of the
people, that honest men may fill the
places defaulters and rogucs have SO
signally abused.

OF SENATOR THUR
MAN,
The New Departure"
A Review of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments.
FROM COLUMBUS.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 81.
1t having been understood that the
reports of Senator Humans speech,
owning to the lateness of the hour il
which he spoke, we're imperfect, a re-
vised report has been furnished the
Ohio Statesman.
He considered first, the claims of the
Administration to the support of the
country on the ground of having re-
stored the rebellious States to their
proper relations with the Government.
So far as the Republican part in Con
gress have done their work the effect
has been 10 retard the work of recon-
struction, in support of which he re-
ferred to the act compelling the forma-
ton of a new Constitution.
On the "New Departure" he said 4:
Now my friends, it has been common
for the Republican party of this coun-
try to say that the Democrats have
taken a "new departure and that
''new departure they allege consists
in saying that we have been wrong
and the Republican party have been
right. I say there has never been
any such confession az that. We are
as much opposed to what has been
done as when we gave OH votes
against it. Why, if I should see a
man strike another in unlawful and
brutal in the street, throttle
him and knock him down and tres
pass upon his rights and l should see
his wounds and bruises and see him

Does Mr.. Pendleton Depart?

In a late speech Mr.. Pcndleton
said:
"The Democratic party has 10 new
promises TO make, no new pledges to
give. 1t will remember its organiza-
ton and history and traditions, its
principles and policy"
This declaration meets the hearty
approval of every sound Democrat,
and is the only course that insures the
ultimate success of the party and the
restoration of the country to its an
cient harmony and prosperity. For
the utterance of this noble sentiment
Mr., Pendleton is entitled to the thanks
of the Democracy of the whole coun-
try. If there is anything that will
distract and break down a political
organization, it is a restless hankering
after new doctrines. The principles
of the Democratic party want no new
notifications. They are based upon
the Constitution, the equality of the
States and the preservation of the
Union as our fathers made it.
In his speech at Loveland, Mr.. Pen
dleton said:
"The Democratic party in power
will enforce upon all, obedience to the
Constitution and all its amendments"
By this, are we to understand, he
endorses the 18th and 18th amend
ments? Or, shall we understand that
he regards them as no part of the
Constitution We incline to believe
that the latter is his opinion. If SO,
he occupies ground that will be en-.
dorsed by the Democracy of this re-
gion. The 14th and 18th amend
ments were attempted to be put in the
Constitution by fraud and force,
and their legality should be tested be.
fore they are admitted parts of an
instrument revered by every sound
Democrat. The future good of the
country depends upon our adherence
to law and order. The mob of a party
cannot change by force, the organic
law, without revolution. When the
Constitution is to be modified, the
whole people should be consulted, and
allowed to express their wishes with
out threat or menace from the military
CT any other power, Any other test
will as certainly lead to despotism, as
! that Caesar desired q crown.

FRANCE.
THE POWER OF THEIRS.

PARIS, August 31.-The conserva
tive organs to day express satisfaction
with the progress made yesterday in
the assembly upon the bill for the pro-
longation of the power of Theirs, and
say that a majority of the Chamber
as reconstructed is against radicalism
and will support the Government and
policy of Theirs. The radical jour
nails blame the Government for giving
any consideration to the preamble of
fered by Vitel, which affirms the con-
stituent power of the Assembly, and
which was adopted at yesterdays ses-
sion on the Chamber.
VERSAILLES, August 31.-The SUBJ
iect of the dissolution Of the French
Assembly is settled for the present.
At a caucus held by the extreme Left,
presided over by Gambetta, the party
was found so divided that it was de-
termined to abandon the issue.
In the Assembly to day NJ Picard
made a fervent appeal for harmony in
the Chamber and elsewhere. He said
it was the duty of all Frenchmen in
presence of the enemy to forget their
Discussions and grasp the hand of fell
lowship, and take all means to strength
en- rather than to weaken the power
of the Government. The remainder
of the preamble in relation to the con
stituent power of the Assembly was
adopted, and subsequently Dufoure's
paragraph, eulogizing the conduct Of
NJ. Theirs, was carried by a vote of
523 yeas to "a nays. One hundred
members abstained from voting.
Paul de Kock, the novelist and
writer is dead.

The Wisconsin. Democratic State
Convention which assembled at Madi-
son, August %, was a largely attend.
ed and harmonious body. Hon. Jas.
S. Doolittle Ex-senator was nomina-
ted for Governor by 1913 out of ISL
votes. He delivered an able and Ell.
oquent speech upon accepting the
nomination, earnestly appealing to all
lovers of country to dismiss buried
issues, and rally to the salvation OF
Republican institutions.
A special to the Herald from this
city, says that Hon. James F, Will
son, who arrived here yesterday, il
sure that VIM. B. Allison will be
elected United States Senator from
iowa. The letter of DR.. Newman to
the Methodist clergyman, and another
which he was known to have written,
but which was suppressed, did Har-
Ian serious injury with the people
Mr.. Wilson thinks the absence of SO
many officials from the seat of Gov
eminent is having a serious effect on
the people, though he is of opinion
that Grant will be renominated and
reelected.
