On sunday nighs as Lizzie Fagan. OF No. Is Bax-

that thoroughfare she was accosted by man in
front OF No. 40. He asked her something about
the street, and, having answered nlm, she was
about to proceed on her way when he ciutched
her around the neck, and. aided BY two negroes,
succeeded in carrying her into the hallway oil No.
40, where he ana his two assistants outraged
one one OF Of ns the negroes, sp Who who he'd neid his
hand over mouth. While the outrage
James nepro. sooe in the aoorWay ana a.
though he did not assist the men ne gave no
alarm. For moment Lizzie freed ner mouth and
cried, "WatchW as loud as she could. The call

forgery and false representation against William

an Ita.ian named Josepa Dubard, Of No. so Crosby

they passed on, thinking the man wonld regard IL
as sucn. The first intimatlOn they had that the
man did not ike being knocked against was re.

States Senate. They are urged for this hlgn
place for the sole reason of party service-Mr.
Wallace notably 80, his labors as party man
ager and committeeman being pretty much
the only claim put forward in his behalf.
Suppose the Democrats in the Pennsylvania
Legislature should give moments considera-
ton to the fact that they carried the State In
the recent election upon the most vigorous
professions OF reform, and the most persistent
dcnunciatiOn of the dishonesty ana par
tisanship of the opposition. And then
suppose they should say, 1--WE Will at
"test our sincerity in this matter by
"choosing for United States Senator gentle
"man like Charles r. Buckalew, whose name
" is associated with all the movements Tor po-
litical reform in the State, and whose hIgh
" character as a statesman and scholar will he
sufficient voucher to the whole country Tor
{" the honesty of our professions" Suppose
the Pennsylvania Democrats should sweep
away the managing and intriguing politicians
who are aspirants for the SenatOrsflp, ana
give Mr.. Buckalew to the country as repre-
sentative Pennsylvania Democrat. What effect
would that have upon the country What
effect upon the Democratic party9 Mr.. Wal
lace and Mr.. Black would lose IN Otlice-One
of them must in any event-but Pcnnsylva-
mia would have a Senator to be proud Of the
country statesman in her service, and the
Democratic party, entering upon the Presl-
Dental campaign of 1876, instead OF being
twitted by the opposition with having gained
an election upon false pretenses and rewarded
the false politicians who played the game,
with the spoils, could stand up and point to
her chosen representatives with honest pride as
evidence of tho sincerity and patriotism OF
the party Could the Democrats OF Pennsyl-
vania do anything that would be more effect
i've in conmcEding the party to the country
in 1876
But then they arc not thinking of that in
Pennsylvania now. They are looking around
for something to pay Mr. Wallace with. And
it will probably be the SenatOrshiD. And
then perhaps in 1879 tho Democratic party,
asking to be trusted further, will be inquired
of by the people, "Whom did you send to the
Senate from Missouri, and whom from
Pennsylvania, wien we trusted you before ?"
And it won't bc cheerful question to answer

RAISING THE WIND.

Some years ago certain citizens of Little
Rock obtained u charter for a bridge across
the Arkansas River. They took no steps to
make use of their privilege, but long after
wards, when it became evident that the St.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway
wanted bridge at Little Rock it occurred to
several enterprising Arkansas statesmen that
the Old charter could be made of use. A Ring
composed of Powell Clayton, Senator Dorsey.

Clure, ex-senator Mcdonald, State Treasurer
Page, John Stoddard, W. $. Oliver Sheriff of

bought the charter (on credi) for S25, ,OOO and

UOPE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

The newly-installed Governor of South
Carolina, in his inaugural address. the full
text of which we have recently received points
out the nature of the evils which nfflict that
sorely tried State and his intention Of apply
ing the remedy of economy and honesty in
administration as far rs lies in his power.
We think no is entitled to fair trial
and an unprejudccd judgment. TO undo
all the bad work of six years of shock
ing misrulc and wide reaching corruption
is task that might well appal the
most courageous statesman. Gov. Chamber
lain does not underestimate its magnitude
Beside the repeal of bad laws, the reorganiza-
tor of the State and County Governments,
and the dcvising of means to enforce honesty
and accountability in public officers, he says
that the work involves nothing less
than tho reorganization of society. in
"the State on the foundation OF abso-
rlutc equality of civil and political rights
can undertaking serious beyond that which
{" falls to the lot of most generations OF men,"
IJo frankly admits that the evils attending the
first steps in political and social rccOnsruc-
tion have drawn down upon the dominant party
in tho State the frOwns of the whole world.
tician who has just come out of a bitter con-
test, the Governor appeals not only to his Do-
ltical friends to assist him in carrying out the
reforms nc indicates, but also to his opponents
in the General Assembly, and to all citizens
who love the State. We hope that he will be
taken at his word, and that all South Caro-
lnians who desire good government will hold
up his hands in whatever work of real reform
to which he may address himself.
Gov. Chamberlain has kept shocking bad
company in the past lie WAS the associate of
Scott, Moses, Parker and the whole crew of
plundercrs who have brought the State to the
verge of ruin. He asserts that although with
them no was not of them, and that their ras-
cally performances always encountered his
protests. Whether this be true or not was
question which concerned the people before
the election but does not now. For two years
to como the only hope Of saving any vestigo
of tho good name and former prosperity of
the State lies in the action Of the Governor.
Tho Legislature is no doubt little better
than its predecessors, but unless the personal
influence and the veto power Of the Executive
are exercised IN the right direction there is
no reason to expect that there will not be
picking and stealing, waste and corruption, as
of old. At this juncturc Gov. Chamberlain
meets tho rcformers more than half way,
pledges himself solemnly to labor for the ac
cOmplshment of the ends they have in view,
and shows that he understands what is to be
DONE Let all parties give him whatever ap-
plauso and encouragement they can. If the
State is to be lifted into better life it will
be only through the hearty cooperation of the
whole body of honest and intelligent voters.

to the charges for elevation of frcights is
continued to-day in an interesting letter writ

change to Vice-President Blanchard of the
Erie Railway. The merchants seem willing to
make any reasonable concession, but urge
that the course of the railroad companies Is
in violation of their contracts and that COM

The latest device for raising money on bond
and mortgage will hardly commend itself to
capitalists. 70 buy property for $4,000, pay
ing the consideration to have been 100000, is
a shrewd though possibly not an illegal trans
action, but it does not commend itself to the
ordinarily honest man. 1t may have the good
effect, however, of securing law which pro-
hibits the insertion in deed of falsely ex-
aggerated consideration.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-29

There is no doubt substantial ground for
apprehension of trouble in New Orleans, if the
Administration is determined to support the
Returning Board in its attempts to deprive
the people of their legallv-chOsen representa-
tives in the Legislature. That the Board Is
to be sustained at all hazards is foreshadowed
by the declarations Of Attorney General VIII
lams, who has of late dictated the Southern
policy of President Grant. There can be no
objection to Gen. Sheridan's assuming command
in Louisiana, for he can hardly carry out the
orders of the President more faithfully than
Gen. Emory; but we have more hope OF good
results from the fact that fair-minded Con-
gressional Committee will be in New Orleans
during the crisis now at hand. If the Com
mittee cannot play the part Of peace makers,
they can at least tell us the truth about what
may occur.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-29

The Committee investigating the use of the
Pacific Mail corruption fund seems to have
struck upon some important clues The more
significant points of yesterdays testimony
have long been current gossip III New-lork'
but it is a great gain to have tho Committee
reduce them to the form of sworn evidence.
Whoever knows of further details of this gOs-
sip and can in any way put the Commt-
tee on the track of people who are
able to testify specifically to it, will do pub
lie service. The efforts of the jobbers to re-
duce this to the level of a stock-gambling
investigation, have produced no perceptible
impression on the public mind. The one thing
which the people want to know, and which
they expect this Committee to find out, IL, 10
what Congressman did the Agent of the
Pacific Mail Company pay the large sum given
him for corrupt purposes Did it reach Con-
gressmen at all, or did it stick in the lobby 7
The belief in and out Of Washington for
q long time has been that the lobby
did not by any means get all OF 1t.
With few days moro Of as good luck as
yesterday seemed to bring, the Committee
ought to settle that point. For the present.
Mr.. William S. King, Postmaster of the House
and member-elect Of the next House, seems
to be ABOUT as loudly called on for explana-
tiOns as anybody.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-29

Anticipating the decision of the General
Term, the counsel in the Tilton- Beecher case
yesterday stipulated to go on with the trial
next Monday. Whether this is binding on
both parties is a very doubtful question. If
the Court modifies the order for the bill of
particulars the defense will have to go on if
only to be consistent; while, if the order
remains unchanged, the plaintiff, in order to
he anything like consistent, will have to refuse
to abide by the stipulation, throw up his case,
paw costs, and insist on being tried criminally.
The legal absurdities of this case continually
multiply.
