TILToS saws that Mrs. Woodruff acts wholly
at the dictation Of spirits, and that DENosTHENEs
is her guardian spirit. Perhaps it is DIoGESEs,
whose household furniture consisted Of an old tub;
and perhaps this signifies that the appropriate
sphere of Mrs Woodruff is to preside over tab

The secret of Mrs. WOoDHULLs separating from
her first husband, has been unconsciousy revealed

associations are almost wholly with spirits; and

CoSSrNDRUM.-If VICTORIA wooDnrLL should
become President, how near would she come to
showing the country touch of DEMosTHESEs!

TIEToN says of Mrs. Woodruff, that in or,lina-
ry conversation, she halts. Well, DEMosTHENEs

TnToN says that Mrs. Woodruff has twice, in
her trance state, beheld JESUS CHRIST. Then,
perhaps she can tell PoMERoY where the Masons
have hidden Him.
If Mrs. WcODHULL becomes President, and DE-
MOsrHENEs runs the machine, will there be a

THE CABTNEr.-We hasten, in advance of any
any other newspaper, to annouce the Cabinet of
President VICTORIA Woodruff. TMToN, Of
course, will be Vice Presednt. This news, being
from spiritual source, may be regarded as reli-
able:

AFather Disinherits His Daughters
Because They are Republicans.

The Oxford (N. Y.) Times Of August 2dcontains
a report of contested will that il one of the most
singular ON record. The will was made by Daniel
Cornell, uncle of the Attorney General of this
State, and the disnhcriting clause was as follows:
"FJih. Believing that the natural consequences
of actions based upon dictated by the political
creed or belief'apprOvesl of or advocated by my
daughters, Corneiia A. Wood, and Ruba HOuck,
have been and are to largely increase taxation, it
il my will that the amount of taxes paid by me
since 1861, and to he hereafter paid previous to
my decease by me, together with the succession
o other revenue. tax or taxes tn be paid from or
on account of property now or hereafter owned by
me, be considered as having been paid for on the
and Rnby HOuck and it il my will, and do here
by direct that they receive nothing from my estate,
either real or personal"
The daughters named above employed Henry r.
Meggetf, ESQ.,, one Of the most accomplished law
yers in New York, in opposition to the will, the
grounds of contest being that Mr.. Cornell was
possessed Of mental delusion in regard to the
political condition ef the country" One witness
gave the following testimony:
"He (C0mell) said he would be ID if his
daughter, who had married d-dblack Repub-
lcan, should have one cent of his property. This
was not far from the summer Of l562. The war
of the rebellion had then begun. He said that
these soldiers of the Fourteenth were going down
South to feed the turkey buxzarsls, and he hoped
to God not d-d one If them would ever come
hack"
The Surrogate reservedhis decision, but the sur-
.viving relatives should unite in urging decision
Of insanity, even though it would diminish the
property some would receive. 1t will he 20 much
better for the memory Of the man.

On Saturday, the Republican County Central
Committee meets at Troy, for the purpose OF call
ing a County Convention. 1t is hoped there will
be full meeting, and that the best plan for
Convention will be thoroughly discussed. We
understand that some persons do not wish Co'i-
vention, but want frce race for all. Why they
70 wish we cannot tell, unless it is bccansefhey
think they would not stand as good cllance IN a
Republican Convention as they would s'nong mrn
who have no right to go into such Convention
To dispense with Convention, would he in a
great measure to tlisorganize the party, and per-
NIT number of Democrats to ship INTO Important
offices, by dividing the vote among multitude OF
candidates; for, whether regularly nominated or
running ON their own hook, the Democratic voters
would find ont and stick to the Democratic candi-
dates for Office. 1t would be the Republican vote
that would divide. What Democrats could run
in, would be clear gnn, as with the Republicans
united, they could not hope to elect n man. The
Republicans need to be united now, to be in prop
er order for the great Presidential and State
test next year.
There surely ought not to be repetition of the
complaint that few designing men run the thing
The notice will he ample, and if the grumblers
would quit grumbling, and attend the primary
meetings, perhaps things would 60 better. Some
body must be in minority; and it will hardly do
for tho ones who are BEATEN or who let the matter
60 by default, to keep mp the eternal cry that
there has been swindling or packing Conventions.
One thing should be looked to in all the pre-
pincts: that persons are allowed to partici-
pate in the primary meetings. who are not known
to be Republicans. This rule has not been strictly
observed, and has been good cause for much dis
satisfaction. 1t is wrong on the party to per-
init men to come in for the purpose Of carrying
the day for delegates favorable to certain men,
when those persons do not intend to vote the tick
ct after it is nominated.
Let the Central Committee take such action as
will make the party more harmonious than here

.g Dirty DoN CARLOS, who runs a night-soil
cart up in Nebraska has two terrible epithets that
he invariably hurls at those who apply the ma
nure-fork to him too roughly. If he can call them
a COW and an ass, he thinks he has capped the eli
max. Then he will compound the terms, and call
his opponent a cow-ass, which he will repeat over
and over in every column of his vehicle-cow, and
ass, and cow-ass. There is something in human
nature, however fallen, that causes mans
thoughts to linger fondly round the spot that

Kansas and Nebraska.

We notice that the Nebraska papers are making
big noise, the authority of their delegates to
the Richmond Pathological Convention, claiming
that that State took the first premium for fruit,
and trying to make ont that Kansas sets up a
false claim. We have no doubt that Nebraska is
as good a fruit country as Kansas-in fact, it is
the same country, the imaginary line on the 4Oth
parallel Of north latitude making difference in
soil or climate. A generous rivalry will be adj
vantagcous to both States. Yet the fact remains,
that Kansas carried off the highest honors; and
it is cheeky in the Nebraska papers to persist in
this claim, when all the evidence is against them.
They took first premium at Richmond, it is
true; but it was in a sort of side show, where all
the States were not competitors and where Ran
sas was not represented. The following extracts
from letter from Mr.. WELLHOusE to Z. SNYDER,
explain the matter:

PUBLIC TEsTIMoNIAL-Ther respectable business
men and citizens generally of Rulo, without re-
gard to politics, few days ago, united in peti.
tion to the person who owns the Register estab-
lishment, asking him to discharge the filthy brute
who was running the paper, and either put a de-
cent man in the Office, else for the sake of their
town, close the office. So beastly had the paper
become, that the citizens felt that it was a dis.
grace to the town, the business men felt that it
was a scandal to have their advertisements ap-
pear in its columns, and the Democratic party felt
that it was a load they could not carry. The
beast is now playing upon the credulity of the
citizens of Arago. The Germans, as a class, are
easily deceived by plausible stranger; but when
they find him out, they make short work of him.
Watch the result of this venture!
