NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

The republicans Of New York in re-
nominating General Dix for Governor
have acted wisely. His name carries with
it strength and the omen of republican
victory and honest and able administra-
ton of the State government. This is an
excellent opening on the part OF the re-
publicans of the State campaign. the re-
suit of which will be looked forward to
with great deal of interest.
The developments in the South of the
rebellious feeling and desperate charac-
ter of the democracy in that section, ought
to stir the republican organization to its
profoundest depths, especially in States
welding the power and influence of New
York There should be but one thought,
one purpose; that is, how to unite the ell
ements of strength and make them most
effective in securing grand republican
triumph. With standard bearer like
Dix the party ought to rally as it did when
the rebellion was threatening the govern
ment with destruction. If there was ever
need to uphold the right Of the colorcd
people in the States once dominated by
slavery, there is need of it now. The
tales Of horror come thicker and faster
from that section. Thousands who were
slow to believe at first are convince now
of the truth of the bloody reports. Al
first we only heard scanty reports of iso.
lated cases of massacre, but the informa.
ton which we now possess makes it GER
tain that the plan of intimidation and ex-
termination entered upon in Louisiana
reaches into all the States where the
freedmen constitute large proportion OF
the voters.
The great State Of New York bore a
conspicuous part in bringing the freed
men out of bondage to their present con-
dition. 1t will not fail we believe to show
itself unflinchingly upon their side in the
coming campaign. The opposition will
endeavor to create division upon local
questions and candidates, making these
more prominent than questions of nation.
al importance, but we trust the republi-
cans will keep in remembrance the great
issues involved in their election and not
permit themselves to be distracted and
divided over petty and personal matters.
If New York republicans hold their pres
ent strength in the national House of
Representatives, make sure the cleo
ton of true republican to the United
States Senate, and elect the State ticket
with Dix at the head by rousing major.
ity. there will be dismay among the White
Leagues of the suffering South, and the
prosecuted and terrified black and white
republicans will emerge from the shadow
of death in which they remain. We re-
joice that our friends in New York have
opened the campaign so auspiciously as
they have, and hope they may 60 on to a
victory that will be complete and over
whelming.

DRIVEN TO DEATH BY 4 CURSE.

| Miss Cross, school-teacllcr in Stark n.
| H., lately committed suicide by drowning
under the following circumstances, as re-
| lated by a local paper: She had charge of
| the school for several weeks. The schol
ars thought much of her, and till within a
| short time before her death she kept an
orderly and excellent school. But during
the last week all seemed to be disorder
and confusion in the school. The cJm-
mittee, DR.. A. Thompson and NJ. T. Pike,
Esq, having heard of the fact visited the
school on Friday, and found it much as
above described. on which, afterthe school
was dismissed, they kindly talked with
her privately relative to the school. told
her how it seemed to them, and advised
her, as she appeared pale and nearly sick,
| quietly TO 90 to the agent and resign her
| position; or if she felt strong enough 10 90
on with the school and thought she could
improve in the particulars they mentioned
she could do So She said she would de-
termine what was best between that time
and the next morning. They left for their
homes. She did not return to her board
ing-house that nigh, and her friends be-
came alarmed The school-house was
locked. On looking in at the window the
key was seen on the floor. On entering
| they discovered on her desk some little ar
! ticles of value she had taken from her per-
son and the following note, addressed to
| her sister:
DEAR MARY: All have to say is that the
, curse is fulfilled. The daughters shall die in
sorrow if not in shame before they are twenty
| Ask Albert Thompson and Thomas Pike why.
Good-by all. LAuRA1NA.
Search was made for her body. The
school house was situated on the bank of

in sorrow if not in shame. before they are

subject of the curse, and the more so re-
Gently, as sho was nearing the age of

caused her to think her sister meditated

only week before she had spoken of it
to her, and alluded to the fact that she
was over nineteen years of age. and ii the
curse was fulfilled she had but short
time longer to live. The fact that some
of her brothers died in infancy tended to
strengthen the superstition, SO that insan-
ity and death were the consequence.

After every election the Standard rings
with charges against the republicans of
buying voters. OF course if they buy they
purchase from the democratic side. The
Standard probably knows whether the
democratic party is made of purchasable
material or not. Buying votes is poor
business to engage in, but party whose
voters put themselves up in the market
cant be made of very honest or incor-
ruptible stuff.
