party they themselves had SO recently left.
Their candidate should be above the suspicion
of any combination with any of the forces
which incline more and more to make the
State prey to certain great corpo-
rations. The wave of reform which over
turned SO much of the trading politicians
setting up had its meaning for the rural dis
tricts as well as for the city. In the city we had
Tammany drawing all corruption to q focus
which could be seen and struck at; in the
rural districts was the insidious and often
intangible monster Of huge corporations,
whose malign influences were felt over wide
tracts. The great railways which twist like
serpents through the State, possessing the
attribute politically which the boa-constrictor
has physically Of squeezing the life out of
those within its coils, were as much warred
against in the moral Of last years revo-
luton as Tammany ITSELF Besides this,
it uttered thunderous protest against the
restless trading politician which ought not to
have been despised at Syracuse. But its can
didate, nevertheless, was Chauncey NJ Depew.
lQere were ScOIcS VI lutu dulOuS tuc ALlOWA
liberals who could have been selected without
damage to the ticket, whose virtues might
even be negative There were at least o dozen
whose names would have added strength to it.
1t was not, then, shortsightedness, but posi-
tive blindness which allowed the liberals to
nominate MIR. Depew. This gentleman's init
mate professional connection as lawyer with
the great railways we have referred to should
have forbidden his nomination. There are
men undoubtedly who no matter what their
private interests, could be entrusted with fairly
deciding in public affairs; but the longtime
politician, who has run the gauntlet of
party and clique, cannot aspire to that
exceptional trust. However pure he may be,
he must submit to this popular want of conf
dence as the penalty Of his success in the other
capacity. The nomination would appear to
have been made rather in defiance of this
popular feeling than in ignorance of it II

United States Taxes. &c.

The total estimated reduction in the revenues made by the new U. s. tariff law and the tea and coffee bill previously passed is something over $53, ,O00, GOO. About one-third of this reduction is in internal taxes.
 The taxes on tobacco, which were 16 and g. cents Q pound on the two kinds respectively, are consolidated into one uniform tax f20 cents. Fhis constitutes a reduction on the whole of about $8, ,OO0, ,OOO As, t5.s 5Fffss
 The various taxes on spirits are con- solidated, and the rate made uniform at 70 cents a gallon. This is understood to be about the same as the aggregate amount of the various existing taxes upon liquors.
 The entire abolition of the tax on illu- minating gas.
 The major portion of the stamp taxes are also done away with. s.z ss The section in relation to bank taxes makes some reductions, as we'll as other changes favorable to the interest affected.
 Informers' moieties are wholly abol- ished. This is much-needed reform, which will put an end to 8 large aud in creasing class of abuses. s. E The decrease in the revenues which it is estimated will result from this law is likely to be largely compensated for by the wholesale cUrtailment of the machin- cry of the Internal Revenue Bureau. | By section 43 the President is directed to reduce the internal revenue districts of the country to eighty, and to cut down the number of clerks, assessors, collect ors, &c. to the lowest possible limit.

A Turn of the Wheel.

Players at Wiesbaden are more conser- vative than at Baden or Hamburg. Some of the Frankfort bankers, worth millions, whom I might name, never make then stake above napoleon, and usually con- tent themselves with wagering three or four fofins. sss
 ThreeI years ago, @ notorious lorette came from Paris with one hundred francs, all the money she had intlze world. She had most extraordinary good fortune. Three days after her arrival she had swelleds her slender capital to two hum dred thudsand francs. She then resolved to return home had paid her bill at the hotel, had packed her trunks, and was waiting for. the carFiage to take her to the station. The carriage happened to be late, and she waited for the afternoon train. With fsur hours on her hands, she strolled into the Cursaal, firm in her purpose to play no more. The fascina- | tion of the game was too much for her ; slle played her mise on the tapis vert, and in an hour she was penniless. She announced her intention to commit sui eide, and somebody interested in the ta- bles hearing of this, went to her and promised her two hundred francs if she would leave Wiesbaden before executing her purpose. 8.

THE WOMEN OF NAy1eAroR's, IsuAN

THE WOMEN OF NAy1eAToR's ISLAND The natives are the finest specimens of mankind that have been found in the Polynes1an world. They are polite, in- telligent and hospitable, and are good Christians; their language is soft and harmonious. They are renowned for their chastity and moral behavior. They have intelligent unpleasant countenances and modest demeanor, and a most noble carriage of their persons. Many of the females are no darker than Spanish brunette, are very handsome, with the most symmetrical forms. They have never been drawn up in 8 machine of torture that was never heard of among all the diabolical inventions of the inquisi- tion-a machine of whalebone and steel, and cord, and pulleys, and levers ma chine far more ridiculous and mischievous than the iron shoe of China, as the body and vitals of human being are of more value than the foot. But they stand out in their beatific nudity and 1oveliness, the emblem of the great Masters handiwork in his happiest mood, 8 combination of beauty, grace and innocence, which no Christian can look upon without the deepest sentiments of love and admira- tion both toward the Creator and the created.

THE NEW WoRLp's GRAND REMEDY

THE NEW WoRLD's GRAND REMEDY.- The Old World has played it's part in veg etable medication. But the botany of the New World is, as yet, imperfectly ex- plored. One new and most important revelation from. that land of wonders Oalifornia-has astonished the scientific, and accomplished such cures of diseases of the stomach and bowels, bilious complaints, malarious levers, nervous affections, and all diseases proceeding from vitiated condi- ton of the blood, as have never before been witnessed. Before WALKERS CALI- FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs all the alcoholic and mineral medicines are rapidly falling into disuse. They cannot resist the over towering evidence brought forward every day, of the immense superiority of this medicine. Not drop of any variety of distilled or fermented liquor or mineral poison enters into it's composition It is a general aperient, tonic, derived from en- tirely new vegetable sources, an unrivalled stomachic, admirable in all pulmonary dis eases; and, in fact, as near to universal remedy as botanical discovery and scientific skill can hope to attain. Dr. Walker con- siders it cure for all diseases not organic, and really the great variety of diseases in which it is successful seems to warrant the opinion. Every family needs such a rem edy. It saves pain, anxiety and doctors bills.

The Canada Case.

The seizure of a man in Canada, by American detectives, is creating some thing of sensation. The man seized it is said was Ku-Klux leader in South Carolina, for whom warrants were out, but he escaped and crossed the border line. Detectives followed him and with out making acquisition on the Cana. dian Government, took the prisoner by. force and brought him to Detroit. A Detroit paper says:
 The prisoner is tall Southerner, about 45 years of age. His hair was slightly tinged with gray, and he had keen, piercing black eyes, which indica- ted shrewdness, intelligence, and deter mination. He was dressed in. plain suit of gray mixed cloth, with a black sIouch hat, and hls whole appearance was that of respectable we'll o-do farm CT. When asked his name he replied that he was prisoner and would not di- vulge his true name, but for the present he would be known as James Simpson. He gave his nativity, as Alabama, and his occupation as that of farmer.
 The officers were very uncommunica- l tive in regard to their prisoner, and seemed extremely fearful lest he. should | Oy oOL4C 1uObaO OoCe1pC l41CA43 OA pO tuhCI4 from their custody by writ of ha5eas corptss. This sdoutless accounts for the secrecy of their movements and their sudden departure. In regard to the manner in which Simpsons capture was effected, the following facts have come to the knowledge of our reporter despite the strenuous efforts which were made to keep the affair dark. It seems that he had been closely tracked since his de. parture from South Carolina, but had succeeded in keeping out of the way oi his pursuers until safely ins Canada. Fol some two weeks he had been stopping in London, Ontario, on the line of the Great Western Railway, although closely under the surveillance of the officers al the time. When the decisive moment arrived Simpson was arrested and hur ried on board the cars, and, in order tc insure quiet trip, and prevent ssacci dents, he was kept nnder the influence of chloroform until safely on this side of the river. By this time Simpson ] is well on his way to South Carolina,

lwsAW Wife Murderer.

Leonis Andre, nee Pierre, was seen te rush from house in New York, where she had been working at sewing for Madame Emma Vacher, followed by a short, stout, travel-stained, sun-burnt man, whose clothes and hands bore the imprint of hard work and privation. The woman darted towards First avenue, but the man, who was her husband Emile Andre), was fleet of foot, and gaining on her, forced her to double round cart which was standing in the street. The ruse availed but little. The woman only gained a few yards in ad- vance, and at the corner of Fifteenth street and First avenue Andre overlook his wife, drew singled barrelled pistol, filled it to the muzzle with buckshot, and placing it close to her right ear, fired. The charge was so heavy, and the dis tance between the murderer and his vic tim so uncomfortable, that Madame Andre died ere her body touched the sidewalk, all the large vessels of the neck being severed, and the spinal column torn by the discharge, which rent g ghastly wound three inches in length and begrimmed with powder the neck of the victim.
