A curious case of contempt" exoites much feeling in the City of Brotherly Love. A Quaker was summoned as iu- lyman. The judge ordered him to take off his hat; the Quaker refused; and it was forcibly removed by constable or other minion of the law. Philadelphia is out ragged at such an invasion of Quaker priv ileges and demands the removal of the judge and the burning of the constable at the stake. When our sheriff takes of anybody's hat, which hs can do quite coolly and quickly, we have always no- ticed that there was head in it. ''s

WEST VIRGINIA.
The State Independent Can
didate for Governor Elected,
Majority 5000.
The Vote Of 1s70-71 Compared with the
Present One.

WHEELING, August 25.-Reports to
the TlteII5qeacer from thirty-three
counties, give Jacobs, the Independent
Democratic candidate for Governor,
within a few votes of six thousand ma
jOrity. This is more likely to be in
creased than diminished by the twenty
one counties vet to be heard from. The
Democrats concede Jacobs's election by
five or six thousand majority. The
Democraticic majority for Governor
in the election of 1870 was 2150,
and in 1871, on the call for the COnven-
ton $3.50, so that the change by COM
parisOn with 1871, when the enfran-
chised COnfederates voted for the first
time, will be from 5000 to 5000 against the
regular Democracy, the fate of the con-
stitution is in doubt. The large maiori-
ties against it in other parts of the State
are neutralized by the counties east of
the mountains, which voted heavily for
JacObins, and ratification. In the thirty
three counties heard from there is a ma
jority against the constitution of about
1000. This is more likely to be reduced
than increased by the territory yet to
be heard from, and no opinion worth
anything as TO the result on the constitu-
JUL Ctu hoW Do eA pfeSSeu. Ills luul-
cial circuit re-elects Melyin, Judge, by
probably 1900 majority. This county
gives Jacob $50 majority, a change Of
747 from the vote for Governor two
years ago. 1t gives $40 majority for the
ratification, and elects a Republican
Sheriff and Clerk of the Circuit Court.
The regular Democrats elect the rest of
the local ticket. Davis, Independent
Democrat, is ahead for Congress in this
district as far as reported, and his elec-
ton by about 500 majority is pretty
closely figured out.

willing testimony to the increasing pep
ularity of Horace Greeley and b. Gratz
Brown, and predict their election by a
majority large enough to justify the
claim that they are the peoples candi-
dates for President and Nice-President.
The prospect could not be brighter. The
conduct Of the administration party in
North Carolina, and that Of the negroes
at the late meeting in Cooper Institute,
New York, have done more to cure the
negrophobia which prevailed so long up
here, than all things else put together
that have happened since the war.
Even the staunehest Old-time alb

Boutwell, and Wendell Phillips, advising

Greeley called a halt, and announced
that the thieving carpetbaggers were a
fact. They see and confess that Grant
and his party did not and do not want
peace, fraternity and good viii, but per-
sOnal success and gain at the expense of
a section of the country whose recuper-
alton and growth under the circum-
stances they acknowledge TO be the

THE PRESS.
A Noble Example by a Great Printer
" Trust In Sod and do the Right"

There is 8 fine story told Of Franklin
the American philosopher. He began
his career as a printer. Soon after hi:
establishment in Philadelphia he was
offered a piece for publication in his
newspaper. which might bring a hand.
some subsidy with it. Being very busy
he begged the gentleman would leave II
for consideration The next day the
author called, and asked his opinion Of
it. "Why, sir" replied Franklin, 81
am sorry to say l think it highly
scurril0us and defamatoTy. But
being at a loss, on account Of my
poverty, whether to reject it or not,
thought I would put it to this issue; at
night, when my work was. done,
bought a twO-penny loaf, on which
sUpped heartily, and then wrapping my
self in my great coat, slept very sOundly
on the floor till morning, when another
loaf and mug Of water afforded pleas
ant brea kfast. Now, sir, since l can
live very comfortably in this manner,
why should I prostitute my press to per
sOnal hatred or party passion for a more
luxurious living?"
That triumph Of personal independ-
ence in a righteous cause was worth a
fortune to Franklin, and no doubt made
a man Of him. Some one who read
this anecdote tells that it reminded him
Of SOcrates's reply to King AFehelaus,
who had pressed him TO give up preach
ing in the dirty streets of Athens, and
come and live with him in his splendid
court. Meal, please your Majesty, is a
halfpenny peck at Athens, and water
I get for nothing" %
Although meal is not quite 50 cheap
among Us now as at Athens in Socrates'
time, it is so cheap that the man is, after
all, a miserable poltrOon who soils his
for the sake of a living, or
what he IS pleased, in the littleness Of
his soul, to regard as position"
But what if a man knows that "GOd
is overhead" and believes that "He
who spared not his own Son, but gave
him up to the death for US ali, viii with
him also freely give US all things"

MISSOURI.
Important Irish Movement in Missouri
They Feel Sore Over the State
Nominations.
Clahs Formed in Sc. LOuis-DelegateS
to be Sent to LOuisyilEe-MeetiRg
at Kansas City.

ST. LOUIS, August 25.-The Irishmen
Of this city are feeling very sore over
/ the result Of the Democratic State Con-
ventiOn. They expected to get one Of
! their cOuntrymen on the State ticket,
but the Convention not only not gave the
Office they sought for, but ignored them
entirely, nor have they anything to ex-
pect from the Congressional Convention,
and the probabilities are that the county
ticket VIII show the same absence Of
Irish as the State ticket. This studied
and repeated ill-ueatment of the Irish
has aroused a good deal of indignation,
and a movement is making among them
which is likely to result in loss to the
Democrats Of a good many Irish votes.
! The Bourbon movement is also making
considerable headway here. Delegates
will be sent to the Louisville Conven-
ton, and if acceptable, the nominees
made by that convention will receive
quite a large vote. Steps have also been
taken in various parts of the State to
elect delegates to Louisville, and the
next two months will develop an unex-
pected strength for thestraight-out Dem
Ocratic ticket. This movement is also
growing rapidly in Illinois, and several
meetings have been held, and delegates
elected to the State Convention, which
is to be held at Springfield next Thurs
day. This convention is expected to be
quite, and all the railroads leading out
Of Springfield are advertising tickets
at half-fare rates. The Irish
of Kansas City, Missouri, held a large
meeting yesterday and passed resolu-
tiCns condemning the action of the
State and County Conventions, and
threatening to bolt the Democratic
ticket because of want of representa-
ton. They also endorse Colonel Van
Horn, who is a candidate for representa-
tive nominee for Governor, and should
he receive that nomination they are
pledged to his support. The work of
organization in this city is rapidly pro-
crossing. Meetings are held nightly in
different parts Of the city, and scores of
clubs have been formed. The marked
feature of the meetings in the lower
wards is a large attendance of Ger
mans, and their numbers ara
constantly increasing. The influence
Of Schurz is rapidly breaking
particularly, owing to the laboring men
and mechanics, and election day will
show that the ranks of the old RepubH- |
can party here are nearly full again !
The prospects are not only cheering but
bright, and there is scarcely a RepubIi- !
can here who does not believe that we
shall carry the State by a good round |
majority, and this fact is fast becoming |
apparent to the Democrats, who are |
outstanding their forces by every means
in their power, and are ready to make
almost any concession to the Liberals /
in return for what little strength they
can bring to their ticket.
