Mr.. E. 0. Perrin, a wholesale dealer IN
the old fashioned spread eagleism, and a
genuine believer in the Democracy that
presently prevails in New York, was the
accident that happened to the Young Mems
Democracy Club of C~ustomhouse street,
Just as MIR. Fenner was the accident that
happened to the Reform Club Of the
eleventh ward reformers. Both were provi-
dental, for both have done some good.
Mr.. Perrin has broken the back of his
friends, while Mr.. Fenner has wrought
something short of a sprain in the left
ankle of his followers. The former Will
halt along to certain defeat in November,
while the latter may mend their mishap
and secure the partial success of their
friends. New York Democrats are not i'll
good standing in Louisiana, having fur
nished the Republicans with most of
their solid ammunition during the last
year. And when Mr.. Perrin invited the
campaign in their original Bourbon char
acter, in imitation of the rotten Tamma-
nyites of New York, he made the mistake
of supposing that We did not know any
thing about the failure Of the party in New
York; and lie made the still greater mis-
take of not knowing that the Democracy
of Louisiana had failed in the same way.
He appealed, therefore, to one SET or po-
litical bankrUpts to take courage from
another set Of political b~ankrupts. Here
are two rotten reeds supporting and en-
coura9ing each other to make a new stand
against the storm that has uprooted them.
IL the meantime the Republicans propose
to prove hereafter by what Mr.. Perrin
said that the Democracy Of Louisiana is
playing the cat in the meal tub by pre-
tan1inr to be what il is not.

MARTINS FERRY ITEMs.-Church.-
The resignation OF the Rev. II. &
Blayney as pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church at Martins Ferry was, on
Wednesday evening, formally accepted
by a vote of the congregation, which
will, if approved by the Presbyteryr
sever the relation heretofore existing
between them as pastor and congrega-
ton. The Rev. II. 6. Blayney has,
during his ministerial labor in Martin
Ferry, secured to himself many very
warm and ardent friends, whose attach,
ment for his moral worth will remain
unbroken throughout all the vicissi-
tudes OF life.
Building Association:-The prelini-
nary steps were taken few days since
for the purpose OF organizing a new
Building Association, with capital Of
100000. Books were opened for stock
and the entire amount was taken up in
about forty-eight hours. Application
has been made for a charter, under
which permanent organization will
be had as soon as it can be done le-
gally.

The LATEST SwISDLE.-Certain sane
timOnious charlatans would iain per.
suade the world that difrusive stimu-
lants have no medicinal value, and that
detestable slops, composed OF gripping
acids and drastic purgatives, are better
tonics than the finest vegetable ingredi-
ents combined with the purest and
mellowest products Of the still. But
this sort OF thing won't 20 down. The
stomach Of our common sense rejects it.,
as the physical stomach of every man
with an undepraved palate rejects, with
loathing and adherence, the nau.eous
abomination, free from alcohol"
which humbugs are trying 70 thrust
down the throats oftemperance inyalids
under the pretcnse that the filth will
do them good. 1t is not likely that,
while Plantation Bitters, the standard
tonic Of America, is anywhere acces.i-
bic, such sickening frauds can make
much Roadway, but it is az well 10 put
the public On their guard against them.

A MORSE TErmoS1AL. We give

A MORSE TETdoNIAL. We give
below a sample of the reliability OF the
telegraph in transmitting names. The
extracts given are taken at random
from different exchanges. 1t will be
observed that the name Of the fleeing
murderer is given in no two OF the
four papers alike, and in neither one
correctly:
The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle
says:
Stratton Taylor, a colored carpenter
of this city, in a fit Of Jealousy, split his
wife's head entirely open with Ratchet
at 6 o'clock this morning. The muir
derer escaped.
The Steubenville NsWs improves on
this by emitting the first name Alto
gether:
In orr telegraph columns will be
found an account OF colored woman
murdered at Wheeling this morning by
her husband. Marshal Doyle received
a telegram requesting him to arrest
TAYLOR, the murderer, if be was found
in this city, but on inquiry it was dlscov-
cred that he had passed up on the
early train and at Wellsville had taken
the cars for Cleveland. He is probably
making for Canada.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch does not
believe that the murder was committed
in Wheeling at all, but locates it in
Martins Ferry, and most tremendously
changes the murdered woman's first
name, Annie, into "Streetha,' as thus;
Yesterday Chief of Police Irwin re
ceived a dispatch from the CHIEF OF
Police at Wheeling, desiring HIM TO
arrestsa man named Taylor, who was
charged with numbering his wife, Stree
tina TAYLOR, at Martins Ferry, Ohio.
TAYLOR is described as a yellow man,
with high cheek bones, large front teeth
and slim whiskers.' He was said to
have left for Pittsburgh on the train
Yesterday morning. Officers Long and
Wilmot were dispatched to the depot
and when the train came in they mace
diIigent search for the man, but did moi
find him.
The Columbus (Ohio) Statesma" pre-
sents another view OF what is given as
the first name:
Strabler Taylor, a colored carpenter,
of Wheeling, in fit Of jealousy, split
his wife's head entirely open with
Ratchet at six o'clock this morning

THAT SxALL PoX CAsE.-7he Other
.S;de.-0n the authority Of the state.
ment made by the man himself we on
yesterday said that Horatio r. Smith
who wes brought to this city while SUIT
fering from an attack of small pox, was
a watch man for Adam Forepaugh and
attached % his great show. BY the
affidavit given below, it will be seen
that Smiths statement was untrue, and
that, although he came to the city with
Mr.. Fo-epaugh's company, he was not
in any way connected with it. Smith,
it appears, was hanger on, going
with the company from place
to place, and doing odd jobs
for h;o meals. He had been noti-
fed two or three times to leave, but
being out of money, begged permission
to ride with the show as far as Pitts
burgh, where he said he had friends
who would supply him with funds, and
he would then return to his. home in
New Hampshire. We have no doubt
but that this statement Of Mr.. Fore
paush, is correct. If We had any
doubts, they would be satisfied with
the following affidavit:
STATE Of West Virginia. Ohio County, to-pit:
Personally appeared before me, a
Notary Public in said county, E. NJ.
Gardner, Treasurer, and Geo. Fl. Wade,
Watchman, for Adam Forepaugh 8
Circus, and made oath according to law
that Horstio r. Smith, supposed to
have been brought to the city OF Wheel
ing By said Adam Forepaugh, has no
connection with and was not employed
in any wey by the said Adam Fore
paugh T. W. GARDNER, Treasurer.
GEO. II. WADE, Waterman.
Sworn and subscribed before me this
18th day of April, 1872.
y. y. JOHNSTON, Notary Public.
This settles the case as far as the en-
ployment OF the man by Mr.. Fore
paugh is concerned. Notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Forepaugh did not
know that any such person was travel
ing with his company, he was obliged
to pay ffT dollars for bringing the
case to th. city, as required by the
ordinance
