TILE DUTY or DEMoCRATSl

q
h. Ii Democrats ever had a duty to Der,
form they have that duty now, The
time is rapidly approaching when q sue
cessor to Grant must be elected, and eV-
cry step taken now Should be with the
sole object TO pave the way for tri-
umphant success Of the Democracy in
1876. ..f., ,.II i.[nl +
The election of Governor Allen last fall
effected not only Ohio, but every other
State in the Union, and one by one they
have been following the example set by
the Democracy of Ohio. "a
The election this fall in Ohio is of the
greatest importance. We must carry the
State. We must carry it by q large ma
jority, 50 that next year when we have a
Governor to elect, we can say TO the
world that Ohio is thoroughly Demo
cratic. s.. go
We must also elect every member OF
Congress that we can We need every
one. The next House Of. Representa-
tiyes must be composed of3he opponents
of the present administration, and it will
be if every Democrat does his duty. n
The ewes Of the people are becoming
opened TO the rascalities Of the present
dynasty, and they will not longer cling
to the fortunes of . party that has proven
itself corrupt from one end TO the other.
The people are going to take the matter
in hand, and they will see that it is right
ed. They win unite themselves to any.
party that will present to them honest
men, and it behooves the Democracy 70
place in nomination The very best and
the purest men they have. :.
Its, then, the duty Of the Democracy
to nominate unexceptionable tickets in
every town, iii every county, in every
district, and in every State, and then
with Gags unfIrled and banners flying
march to the victory. ~ CldRieothe Idca-

DIR. L. A. EDMINSTER,

Magnetic Physician and Healer of Diseases by
the laying on Of hands, has taken rooms at Mrs.
Scruton's, near Episcopal church on State street,
where he will attend to calls between the hours of
and II A. NJ and 2 and P. NJ, and will also
visit patients at home other hours. His success
as healer of disease has been guaranteed by sew
eral cases in this city. He has also clairvoy ant
power, but not TO be used to crafty worldly curl
osity. Business and Professional men, whose
brain forces have been overtaxed by severe men
tai labor, will find great relief from this treat
ment. This treatment also prevents paralysis, by
restoring the nervous system to its usual tone
Parents who have weak and sickly children will
do well to consult the Doctor. Nervous prostra-

powers of disease, and no one is safe who is thus
troubled, from the prevailing contagious diseases.

ceased and is not sued in the action. Isaac Morse,
the payee, is also dead and the note is endorsed
by his executors to the pf as portion of her leg
acy under the will. The note appears to bear the
signature of James Morse as a subscribing wit
ness, and thereon hangs the defence. The defts.
contend that the name of the witness was put up
the note after it was made and delivered, with
out their consent or knowledge, and is therefore
such material and fraudulent alteration of the
note that they cannot be held to pay it. The only
question for the jury to find is whether the note
was or was not properly witnessed. The decease
of so many of the parties to the note creates the
difficulty in proving the facts The jury found for
the plf for the amount due on the note.

defts. The defts. are father and son, and sued
in actien of trespass for assault and battery
upon the plf. in Winthrop, Aug. 10Th, 1872. The
plf represents the injury inflicted upon him by the
younger Webb as outrageous and brutal, and en-
tirely unprovoked. In defence the elder Webb
contends that so far from being assaiant, he
acted as a peace-maker in the ARRAY; and the
young man endeavors to show that he was first
assaulted by the plf and acted throughout in self
defence. They also introduce some evidence not
favorable to the plfs character as a peaceable
man. 1t was past the hour of adjournment when

dict will be returned in the morning.

Mr.. EDITOR Il noticed in this mornings issue

know of man in this city, steady man with
a large family who never attends any place OF
amusement, never INDUCES IN the luxury of a
ride never drinks any Intoxicating drinks and
who labors every day in the year and for small
wages. Whenever he has sickness in his family
he cannot avoid getting in debt and it will take
some time for him to get square again. A man
may deprive himself of Injuries and comforts in
life, and by so doing, may by working every day
and making long days, keep out of debt; but when
sickness overtakes him or his family he cannot
avoid contracting debts and it is a very slow pro-
cess for him to lquidate them. The man referred
to has been threatened with having his name pub
ished in the Black list if he did not walk up to
the office and settle within ten days. l know OF
still another honest, industrious, hard working
man with a family, who has managed to live and
support his family little over one dollar per
day. A. few months ago his wife was taken sick,
consequently he got in debt to his physician fifty
dollars. BY prvation he managed to save little
of his small pttance every month until he had paid
about one-half of the original bill; the balance OF
lection. He also received the notice. "settle with

Black list"
know of another case where man owed bill
which was contracted by his wife when he was
out of the State, and which bill the creditor &C
knowlcdged the man knew nothing about. This
bill was put into the hands of the agent Of this
concern in this city for collection they not even
notifying the man that they had bill against
him, took out special writ and put it into the
hands of an officer who arrested the man, stating
that his orders were to take the body. This wa:

man until the next Monday or until he could see
the creditor and learn if the bill was all right
The officer very kindly let him go on those condi

Now, Mr.. Editor, do these parties make any dis

bills and the one who does not think all hon
orable men will satisfy themselves that their debt
ors do not intend to pay them, before they resor
