The result of the recent election il
New Hampshire ia most gratifying and
shows that the people are commencing
| 10 look into the usurpations of Gram
and the delinquencies of the Radical
congress. All the three Congressional
Districts have elected the Democratic
candidates, thus showing a clear Dem,
ocratic majority in the State, as there
were no scattering votes thrown away
on the Congressional ticket as there
were on the State ticket. The Radi-
Gals have a majority, ip the teggisla-
ture, but there has either beeeln no cleo
ton of Governor by the people. or else
the Radical candidate gets in by The
skin of his teeth. When we reflect
that Grant carried New Hampshire four
months ago by nearly six thousand ma
iority this may be considered great
Conservative triumph.
And this is just what might have
been expected. Mr.. Patterson. one of
the Radical Senators from New Hamp-
shire, Was deeply involved in the Gre
dit Mobilier scandals. The steady
people of New Hampshire cannot af-
ford to bear such sins as his, or the
sins of any party that sustains him.
Moreover, there is considerable
amount of discomfort at the manner in
which the people of Louisiana were
treated by the Radical administration.
The medicine is beginning to work.
We hope that this reaction against the
c0lTuptlons Of the Radical party, com
mencing at the first election since its
late triumph will continue until the
party is finally swept from power.

The Voice of the People.

The action OF the Administration in
sustaining the Kellogg fraud is a5bold
and indefensible outrage which meets
the condemnation of the people of the
whole country. Even the New York
! Times, the most shameless journalistic
tool Of Grant, and the New. York Even
ing Post, a leading radical paper, have
been constrained to censure it, while
the Republican Central Committee of
the State of New York, on the 9th inst.
passed a resolution ''disapproving of
the conduct of the administration in
Louisiana matters" Indeed the shame
and infamy O. approving Grants ont
rage has been left to his immediate
ring; to the carpet-baggers, scalawags,
and free negroes Of Louisiana, and to
the traitors among,her own people who,
to snbserve their personal aims, have
been willing to prostitute their man
hood; to forget their honor, and drag
their gentility in the repnlsive filth in
which the Kellogg government stands.
and out of which it sprung. The res
possibility of the Louisiana situation
rests entirely on the shoulders of the
Administration. That situation is a.
substantial result of the Presidents
policy of Capitalization through Mig
serism, and, however much partisan
feeling, and the swindling interests he
has created may shield him from the
consequences of his crime. and sustain
him in his shams, the world will class
him among the most Infamous, malg-
nant and stupid of the tyrant sconrses
that have afflicted States. Prompted
Ivy cnpdity and the greatness Ola

couraeed by the shadow of power that

ment, there may be Leuisianians who
will he prompt to recognize and accept

guy of those who erected it, and be
confoundcd in the minds of all right
and honorable men, with the
motley and infamous hordes of radical
ism.

Murder of an Aged Woman in Pitts-
burg

A horrible murder was discovered in |
Pittsburg, Pa, Saturday evening last the
victim being an old woman, aged seventy
years, named Mrs. Margaret Branenlin.
She resided In tenement house, the lower
portion of the building being occupied by
German, his wife and six children. 1t
appears the old lady was supposed to be
the object Of charity, and neighbors con-
tributed to her support, as did also the
board of health. Her husband died two
years ago, and through the kindness of
friends she was enabled to live quite COM
fortably, though 1t was oftentimcs rumored
that she was by no means in such destitute
circumstances as to need the offerings of
the charitable. Last Saturday morning,
when child who furnished the
old lady with milk tapped at her
door for admittance, no response came
to the summons. She raped again more
loudly than before, yet all was silent with
! in. Peeping in through the key hole, she
was Mortified on seeing the woman lying
in bed with her clothes dyed crimson. She
ran down stairs and, coming across a
policeman, informed him of what she had
seen. The door was then broken open,
when sickening sight met those that en-
| tereu. ne apartment was In state OF
great disorder, and clotted blood and tufts
of grayish hair were profusely scattered
about on the floor. The old lady lay on
the bed, her head beaten into a shapeless
mass with the brains exposed. The instru-
ment with which the deed was committed
lay in one corner of the room-a short
handled Ratchet, on which the blood
and hair had thoroughly dried From the
| aDpearance of the room the old woman had
been sitting near the stove when she was
struck down, as marks on the floor indi-
cate that the body had been dragged from
thence and laid on the bed. Her several
trunks were broken open and rined of their
contents. These, it is said contained a
quantity of gold which she had brought
with her year or two from Germany.
There was no positive evidence to fasten
the murder on any one, but suspicion points
strongly to the German family who occupy
the lower part of the house. They say
they heard noise Friday morning, but
paid no attention to it, as they were often
disturbed by similar sounds

Early Marriage.

There are hundreds of young men that
should be married who are not married. To
marry early is discreet and wise. And when
men and women are of a marriageable age,
l think it to be, in general, true, that it is
wholesome for them to be married. 1t is
not necessary that they should remain sim
gle because they stand in poverty; for two
can live cheaper than one, if they live with
discretion, if they live as they ought to live.
If the young man is willing to seem poor
when he is Door ifthe young woman, being
poor, is willing to live poorly; if they are
willing to plant their lives together like two
seeds, and wait for their growth, and look
for their abundance by and by, when they
have fairly earned it, then 1t is good thing
for them to come early into this partner
each other in the early periods of lite far
more easily than they do afterward. They
who marry early are like vines growing to-
gether, and twining round and round each
other; whereas, multitudes of those who
marry late in life stand side by side like
two iron columns, which, being separated
at the beginning, never come any nearer
to each other. There is no school which
God ever opened, or permitted to be opened,
which young people can so ill afford to
avoid as the school of care and response

those which passed through in Indiana,

all my furniture was given TO me, and was
secondhand at that and when the very

Daring Robbery.
A FAMILY HANDCUFFED.

About four miles below the village of
Catskill, N Y, lives Abraham Post, we'll
TODD farmer. On Friday evening last,
while Mr.. Post, his wife and daughter (the
latter 90 years of age), his son, and hired
man were eating their supper, the door
leading from the main hall suddenly
opened and six men entered the dining
room. They drew their revolvers, and
placing the weapons at the heads of the
members of the family, told them to keep
quiet or they would blow their brains out.
While five of the scoundrels thus held the
five members of the house at their mercy,
the sixth drew five pairs of new handouts
from under his coat and snapped the
bracelets upon every person at the table ex-
cept the daughter. While he was doing
this, however, the daughter gave him such
a talking to that he became exasperated
and handcuffed her also. A colored girl
who entered the dining room at the time
was similarly dealt with. Then the
thieves procured bed cord and securely
tied it around the entire family. One of
them then stood guard over the captured
group while the others ransacked the
house.
They entered every room but one, tore
open bureau drawers, and broke into trunks
and closets. The result of their foraging
was twelve silver teaspoons marked s. f.
| ID ap1 ci
and forks, 1896 in currency, 800 in gold
coin, a lady's gold watch and chain marked
s. f. p, $50 worth of jewelry, two Greene
county bonds of $500 each, one check for
81 900 on the Farmers National Bank of
Catskill, signed by Mrs. Masseno in favor
of II. III. King and endorsed to Abraham
Post, and one check for 5000 on the same
bank signed by Jacob Berget, and made
payable TO Abraham Post or bearer. The
room which escaped them was occupied by
the son, Edward Post, and in it was a gold
watch and large sum of money which
they did not get.
For over an hour the thieves remained in
the.house, stealing everything of value they
could get their hands on. They even took
the rings from the fingers of their victims
sat down TO the table and ate the supper
prepared for the family. While they were
eating, Edward Post yainly endeavored
to free himself. He told his captors
that he had seen two of them the day pre-
vious at the Catskill fair, and one of them
replied, swell, what of it?" Having got
all they wanted, they babe the family good
night and quit the house. The imprisoned
men and women tried for an hour to free
themselves, and at length Edward Post die
get loose, and, going TO Catskill village
told his story. The sheriff and Others
went back with him and released the rest
of the family. Then a statement of tn,
robbery was telegraphed to all prominen
points, with an offer by Mr.. Abraham
Post of $1,000 reward for the arrest of tn,
, thieves.
Near the house paper was found, which
may afford clue to the scoundrels. /

On Sunday says the Baltimore Sun as

Brethren church in York, Pa, was con-
Quoting the services at the Union church
at Yocumtown, York county, the sexton
handed him note. After the sermon was
completed the minister announced he had
the pleasure of stating that couple in the
congregation desired to be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, and that the
candidates should Immediately present
themselves. There was considerable
ilutter in the assemblage-every eye
staring around to see the happy couple.
After some delay a fine and buoyant
couple came marching up the aisle to the
altar. The reverend gentleman immedi-
ately proceeded with the ceremony, and
the groom answered promptly, Eyes, l
will. " but to the dismay and establishment
of the clergyman and audience, when it
came to the brides turn, she answered just
as promptly, mo, will not, and smiling
ly left the church all alone, leaving the
half married man in quandary what to do.

correspondent of the New York Tribune
with the Juniata expedition says of the
Greenlanders, that to one ignorant of their
style of dress, and the similarity of the
dress of both sexes, it would be difficult to
distinguish the man from the woman. The
man combs his hair straight down and over
his fore cad, only parting it sufficiently to
enable him to see directly ahead Of him,
while the woman combs her hair in long
plat, forming it into knot on top of the
head, which is elevated about four inches
from the scalp, and tied with strip OF rib
bon either OF black, blue or red color
the widow being distinguished by black
ribbon, the wife by the blue, and the maid
en- by the red one. The complexion is cop
perry like that of the Indian, their hair black,
and their nose fiat, while their cheek-bones
are broad and prominent, nearly hiding the
usual appeudage when the profile is presen-
ted. The kapetah, or jumper with hood
attachment, worn by both sexes, the hood
of the woman's being made larger in which
to carry the young babe, is of seal-skin with
trimmings of dog-skin. The pantaoons
and boots are also worn by both sexes, those
of the women being in most cases very elab-
orately and artistically trimmed. The PAN
falcons of the women reach only to the
knee, while the boots, made offinely tanned

sinews of the deer, make them look COM
