ll4NHATTAN CLUB.

The leaders of the Democracy OF the
CITY of New York met for rejoicing at
Manhattan Club, on Thursday morning.
where speeches were made, letters and
kilograms read from all parts Of the
country. Governor Tilden Of course de-
Hvered the speech of the occasion, ad-
vising moderation and oomplimenting
the Republicans who joined hands in Sc
curing the glorious result. We can
only make room for his opening re-
marks:
Fellow Citizens;
The victory which we have lately
achieved in the State Of New York is not
personal victory. No party, no class
Of men can appropriate the benihcent
results of that victory. Like the dews
of heaven they will fall upon all the peo-
pie (Applausel Many Republicans
have voted with US, and if we are wise
in our policy, will become co-workers in
our cause Applausel. Many thOus-
ands of Republicans who had not the
moral courage to break from their party
ties slept more TRANQUILITY upon their pill
lows when they heard Of our success.
They felt a sense Of relief which they
could not completely understand; they
felt new hope dawn upon them for their
own personal prosperity. and for the re-
demption and protection Of the free in
stitutiors of our country Applause
Let us, lhen, in this hour Of our congrat-
ulation, be magnanimous to those over
whom we have achieved this triumph.
Let us remember, as Democrats, here
tonight what the administration of Gen.
Grant seems never to have known, that
the party which is invested with the
powernment, although it will be gov
erned by its own convictions Of right in
its public measures, after all holds and
exercises a trust for the people OF the
whole country Applause The mas
tiers of political science who framed our
government predicted that if ever we fell
into civil war our free Republican re-
preventative system of system of gov
ernment would be deeply imperllled if
not absolutely destroyed. They had
learned from early history how danger
Gus to Republican government are
great wars, how apt they are to engender
systems Of administration fatal to repup-
lies. And yet, when in the course Of
events we found our government in
volved in a war, an internal and civil
war, even those Of US who had present
to our minds these great dangers felt it
to be our duty to give victory in that
contest to our own government We
felt that the perils to liberty in sue
cessful war for secession were greater
than the perils to liberty in success
full war for the union. We felt thai the
questions of difference between the two
sections Of the country if they could not
be settled within the union in peace
could not be settled outside Of the union
without war; and we felt that separa-
ton would involve other and new ques-
tons Of far gaeater difficulty of which
war wonld be the result and the sole al
tentative; and that as much as we might
deplore it, much as we had sought to
avert it, there was no alternative but the
arbitrament Of force to solve there ques-

THE MURDERO US Ma RSONS- MORE
K OFTHEIR A TROCITIES-A TERRi-
BILE REVELATION.

We have already given some details of
the tragedy near Anderson, Indiana, in
which Mrs. Mawson murdered her son
Albert, and threw his body in the well,
Subsequently committing suicide. By
the following it will be seen that the
Mawsons were another Bender family
For many years the Mawson family
have been terror to the neighborhOod
I'm which they resided. Mrs. Mawson is
believed to have murdered two children
by her first husband, and then to have
made way with their father. A Gark sus-
picion hung over her at the time, but no
clue could be gained sufficient to warrant
her arrest. Eight years 40 a man by
the name of Hoppas was killed only a
few feet from the well into which Albert
Mawson was thrown, and by his side was
a sassafras club with which he was struck.
A man by the name of White was found
guilty OF the murder and hanged, al
though he maintained his innocence TO
the last. Three years ago, when Mrs,
Mawson's second husband died, it is said,
he confessed that he murdered Hoppas,
and that White was innocent. II is be-
iieyed that Mawson himself was poison
ed by his wife. In the evening he was
as well and strong as usual, but the next
morning he found it convenient to die
before any of his neighbors we're up.
Last spring Mrs. Mawson's eldest
daughter gave birth to an illegitimate
child, and killed it by choking it TO death.
She left for parts unknown. About two
months ago the skeleton of man was
found at the bottom Of what was former
ly pond of water on the MawsOn farm,
and was identified as that of an old bach
elor hermit who lived in the vicinity, but
who disappeared very suddenly about a
year ago.

4 MAN lSA YES HIS LIFE FROM A
SAVAGE BOAR BY STIMULATING
DEATH.

From the Tifin (O,l Tribune, Eovember6.l
IF. Bender, who lives three miles
miles from this city, on the Portland
road, was attacked bya boar on Tues
day evening last and terribly injured
The circumstances as furnished US by
DR.. Kinnaman, who was called to dress
the wounds Of Mr.. Bender, are as fol-
lows:
The boar was in an enclosure short
distance from the house, and number
of swine were in the same lot. Mr.. Ben
der attempted to drive out one Of the hogs
when the boar attacked him, threw him
down and tore his legs terribly with his
teeth and tusks. Mr.. Bender's right leg
was cut to the bone across the thigh, a
piece of flesh nearly three inches square
was torn from the inside Of the leg, just
above the knee, leaving the bone bare
and exposing the femoral artery, which
barely escaped being cut, and the leg
received number of other comparative
" small wounds. The left leg was also
cut across the thigh to the bone, besides
being badly cut and lacerated in other
places. Mr.. Bender only escaped from
the infuriated animal by lying perfectly
still As long as he struggled the animal
continued its attack, but Mr., Bender hap.
pened to think he had read that when
attacked in that manner, if man were
to lie still the animal would leave his vic
tim. He tried the experiment, and I
proved true, and he managed to reach
the house without assistance.
While the wounds were terrible, anC
fears were entertained Of poison from th'
kfangs Of the infuriated animal the patien
has not suffered as much as was expected
and is doing well. The probabilities ar
that he will get out in a short time.
