call the attention cf all Legislative a.

Only one case Of general interest was
reached and tried this term. that Of Al

suit was for SANDER, damages laid ats20-

Miller, who Is an interesting and beauti.
full child Of fourteen. The mistake was
discovered in day or two, and corrcc-

Not a shadow of suspicion has since rest

the facts arc known. But her guardian

a woman's reputation is concerned, far

a protractcd trial in which much feeling
was evinced by the friends of both par
ties, a verdict for the plaintiff of three
thousand dollars.

A ROMANCE.
CHAPTER FIRST.

On last Saturday eve. as the sun slow
ly wheeled his broad disc to the West,
and the shadows began to lengthen over
the fields just bursting into living yer.
dure under the divine alchemy Of May,
a single horseman might have been seen
leisurely pursuing his solitary course
along the Somerset road. There was
much in the appearance of this traveller
to excite deep and solemn reflection. In
the timorous it would perhaps have deep
ened into apprehension. The charger he
bestrode was lean-very lean = but
strong, sagacious and servieeable. The
rider was man with open and ingenu-
Gus, but withal, determined countenance;
apparently about twenty-nine years and
six months of age. He wore q tall and
wondrously glossy silk hat. On his heels
were fastened two immense Texas spurs,
with bells attached which jingled music
ally when, as occasionally required, he
admonished the ribs of his noble animal.
In his belt he carried a pair Of horse
pistols of antique pattern. From his
saddle-riders, which had evidently seen
much service. protruded on the one side
Blackstone's Commentaries, and on the
other Websters Unabridged. Resting
on the pummel of his saddle, and stead
led by his disengaged hand, was a two
gallon jug, which gave out to the air an
yet pleasing odor.
Thus accoutred this solitary horseman
rode steadily onward. now speaking
words of encouragement to his gallant
horse, such as "oats, old fellow, oats :"
now applying his nostrils to the stopper
in the jug, and now beguiling the tedi-
um Of his journey by a loud and melodi-
ous whistle, in the which art he seemed
no mean proficient.
The gentle reader will not have failed
TO guess, by this time, that this is our
hero. Yes! it is, indeed, none other
inspired with the ardor Of early man
hood he rides forth in search Of adven-
lure and contingent fees. Alas Alas =
but we must not anticipate.
On, on he rides, through the still
engineering shadows. to the far distant
country of the Christian Statesman-to
he land of Nimrod Buster.
Go be Continued.)

Emigration To Kentucky.

There has been belief, widespread
throughout the North, that immigrants
are not, and are not likely to be, vel
come south of the Ohio. The emphatic
and cordial declaration of the Kentucky
Democratic State Convention should bury
such suspicious. If similar declarations
had been made earlier and oftener, and
by other States. it might have rendered
TO . better understanding between the
States that need immigration and the
States that can send emigrantst. Let
enterprise freely how through the States
whose industries have been paralyzed-
that is their salvation. ID is men of
capital aud energy, not adventures, that
the South is willing and waiting to no
ceive.

SHOCKING, If TRUE.
The Mysterious Letter which an
East Kentucky Heiress Found
In Her Window.


We have received the following letter
with request to publish, and do 80, not
vouching. however, for the truth Of the
statement contained therein. 1t was
handed us by highly respectable gentle
man who believes the statements:
LYNN PosroFrIcE, l
GRLESUP COUNTY, KY, April q, 70. !
Mr.. Editor:
Please put this note in your paper. 1t
is concerning the attempt to murder one
Miss Ermina o. Smith, daughter of Jno.
Smith, now = resident of Greenup coun-
ty, Kentucky. Her father lives ON Ty-
CART creek about eleven miles from Porte
mouth, near Benefits mills, she being
the only child remaining at home.
Saturday morning on the 18th Of
April. her parents found her in her bed.
She had been chloroformed and tied
hands and feet with the sheet and wound
up in her bed clothes A pillow was
laid ON her face and an iron wedge laid
on the pillow, and it was with some diff
Guilty that she was brought to her senses.
She said she had no knowledge ofwhat
had happened during the night, but said
she had been fully satisfied that some
one had been at her window few nights
before, but she could MT convince her pa
rents of the fact. All the knowledge of
the cause of this outrage is what we can
gather from writing left in her win
dow by the william. which reads as fol-
lows.
"If yer wants save yer self yer better

DEMOCnATIC PLATFORM.

DEMOCnATIC PLATFORM.
We reprint elsewhere the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Con
vention, at frankfort on the LIST int Ills
we suppose, impossible in the nature Of
things that platform Of principles can
be other than somewhat rapid and prosy
reading. The same venerable sentiments
are to be announced for the hundrcith
time, the same well known polysyllabic
formulas are always brought into requi-
sition, and the effect Is sometimes very
depressing indeed. And yet they must
h accepted, with great many other
tircsomc fcrmslities In the world, as
necessary nuisanc~. Party organizations,
upon which are dependent party vitality
and party success. requir tho formal
anuuncistion, at suitable thnes, Of the
distinctive tenets upon which il bases its
appeal to popular favor AMI puts itself
upon the country" This manifesto of
our late convention Is certainly not lack
ing in the Characteristic prsinesr, to which
We refer yet, on the whole. il may he
said to be sound and iigni6ed precnta-
ton Of Democratic policy, setting forth
clearly enough. though neither as sharp
ly nor as vigorously ~ desirable. the two
fundamental and irreoncilable differen-
ces between he and Our Republican
brethren.
One Of these is upsn the question of
the sovereignty Of tie States in local
matters, q question on which parties have
been divided since the formation of the
Republic, and which y by long odds the
grsvest yet remaining 70 be settled. 1t is
the fashion in some quarters, it is true,
TO assume that this was authoratively
and finally determined by the late war.
But there are many other attributes of
sovereignty conceded to the States by
the constitution, more valuable, more
unquest'onanle 'han he one OF secession
which we admit was settled with ven
geance. That and the excrescenoe, the
incidents merely, OF slavery were dispos-
ed Of by the verdics of the war. But

number of pupils to be Instructed, enabled
them to readily conclude that classes
could not be formed to use both the indie
pendent and McGuffey reader They
then examined the merits of the new
book and all the circumstances connect
ed Herewith, and decided as they thought
! they had the right in favor of the indie
pendent as the class book, including the
speller. And knowing as they did, that
some inconvenience and expense would
attend the change TO some of the patrons
o. the school, they arranged with the
publishers of the Independent, for a sup
| ply OF books at ten per cent. less than
half retail price, (and here was their great
blundcr, if any at al J but for this and a
few housing pettfoggers, no trouble
would have occurred, and the Board of

gushing eneomiu,ms and eulogics upon

and have SUPPLE all the patrons with
books at this iis ure, and so insignificant
was the amount needed to replace the old
books, that Z ere has not been one hun
dred dollars worth sold after nine weeks
of school. The Trustees have done the
best they uld under the circumstances
and have ecided the question in strict ac
cordance it'll the instructions from the
State So pGrintendent of Public Instruc
ton, and II accordance as they think, with
thesde sire ola large majority of the pat
rons OF he school. All such assertions
as 9TH ere are frequent changes in school
books" and that "the people are being
robbed" &c &c, are simply false, and the
auth ors thereof, lack character and decen-
| cy. Now as to the assertion of ] Ohm that
a petition is in circulation to DESTROY the
co n Grafton, to escape the rule of this
school Board | VIII say the petition does
not SO state; and it is as is charged bv the
| friends Of the town q deceptive tabrica-

that the signers understand the petition tc

Is, the greatest grievance The town has ev-
er suffered, is IN the money spent in IN
successful litigations, unsuccessful from
badly framed, illegal and void ordinan-
ceS, and a worse defence of them, framed
and defended too by the present dead lest
foes OF the town. If some one will tell us
how to rid ourselves of pcttifoegers and
quacks, we will give him vote OF thanks
wher we vote to sustain our corporation

school, the principal teacher advised the
Trustees that change in text book,
would be beneficial to the school, and
proposed to substitute the Independent or
National series of readers in place of the
McGuffey. The writer was then Trus-
tee and opposed the Introduction of the
book at that time, but the reasons given
for the change being satisfactory to my as
sociates in office, they consented to an IN
PRODUCTION Of the book, that was in time

Children in need ofnew readers or to be
promoted to advanced classes, were ad
vised to buy the new book, which they
did In nearly every case. Many of the
patrons of the school, with the principal

interest of the school, so the school clos.
