THE NOMINEES.
1t is generally conceded, both by Re-
publicans and Democrats, that the nomi-
nation of Judge David Davis, Of Illinois,
and Joel NJ Parker, Of New-Jersey, for
President and Vice-President, by the Con-
vention at Columbus, is a pretty strong
ticket Grumblers, however, are to be
found in all parties, and there ase those to
be found-and to their shame be it said
who object to Judge Davis, because he is
not statesman, or he is not public man,
or because he is not known, and thousand
other foolish simplearities. Who was the
man that dared to raise his voice against
military persecution, during the admins
tration Of President Lincoln Judge
Davis, of Illinois, and, indeed, it may be
said of him, he it was who staid the march
of military despotism, and taught those lit
tie negroes that there yet existed a consti-
tuition and law, living things they could
not override while he sat on the bench.
There is another class Of despots which
need lesson taught them, and that is the
money changers Of our day, and let poor
men have their rights There are between

States. at least two-thirds Of which are
workingmen. If these are only true to
themselves, Judge Davis will he our next

FASHIONABLE CHURCH SCANDAL.
There has Just come to light transac-
ton, which, if true, will rank among the
greatest villainies on the record Of time.
The Rev Mr.. Huston,
PASTOR OF ONE OF OUR MOST FASHIONABLE
CHURCHES
up town, is charged with
sEDUCING SEVERAL OF THE YOUNG LADIES
of his congregation. 1t appears that a GER
tain young gentleman name not glven) re-
ceived a note from a young lady, who, we
are gravely Informed, was not III any way
connected with the church or school, re-
questing him to meet her at house of as
signation This
MODERN JOSEPH,
with undue haste, and somewhat schocked
that his morality should be brought in ques-
ton, repaired to the school, and presented
the note to the young lady's teacher. The
teacher, after thorough reflection, conclud-
ed she could not retain such a dangerous
person in her school, and
FORTHWITH THE MINK WAS DISCHARGED,
and her mother made acquainted with the
cause. This led to
AN INVESTIGATION
which disclosed the fact that the pi"us q!
Huston was
HER SEDUCEB,
and that several other young ladies were his
victims also. As might he expected, or I'M
Fortunately, as our social systems permits,
suspicion was cast upon the poor girl, and
the lecherous and Rev. gentlemen CD was
exonerated But, however. society, as il
is framed, may desire to screen the rich
and condem the poor,
AGUILTY CONSCIENCE
will condem itself, and such appears to be
the case with this false and impious minis
ter % Of God, for with all the grave solem-
nifty Of seignior. he gives up his commits
sion as minister and seeks safety in flight,
leaving the case in the hands Of his Rev.
brethren. The affair has created profound
sensation in the vicinity Of
MADISON AVENUE.
and the matter is to be thoroughly investi-
gated. There appears to be little doubt as
to the guilt of the Rev. imposter, but it is
as well to await further developments In
my next will give You full particulars.

THE HAT FINISHERS BALL
was one Of the finest Of the season. every
thing seemed to have been gotten up in a
superb style The main saloon Of the Con
cordia, where the ball was being held, was
festoohed and decorated in magnificent
style. The ball was opened by a grand
promenade, and at the sound Of the bugle
sets were formed with military procession,
and the dancing commenced and was kept
up until the wee hours Of the morning
In pecuniary point Of view the ball was
a complete success, the association clearing
at least $50. Yours &C.,
