II YOU want any favors from Congress
YOU can get them only through u Repub-
lean. That is the meaning of the adj
dress of the National Republican E1ecu-
tive Committee, when it requests you to
send Republicans, not Democrats to Con-
gress.-Monroe County Register Radicdt)
Aug. 18Th.
Of all the bare. faced confessions that
ever was published in any partisan, or
other Journal since the world was first
discovered, we take the foregoing to e1-
Gel The people Of the Third Congress
sional District are deliberately told that
if they 'want any favor done
in Congress, they can only get
them through a Republican" and even
Democrats are appealed to, to vote the
Radical ticket in order that they may
secure favors. This too, is stated to be
the meaning of the address Of the "Na-
tional Republican Executive Committee
when it requests you TO send Republicans
not Democrats to Congress" Here is II
confession. Ifyou want .farors. Princi-
Piles are nothing-tGrors is the term-you
must apply to Republicans, and YOU must
send Republicans to Congress. We al
ways knew that the Republican party
cared nothing for principles. We always
knew that a bold brazen-faced pushing
through of matters-for consideration
was one of its characteristics; but We new
err knew before that they were willing to
confess it in public print. But here it
is, in black and white, acknowledged by
q leading organ Of the party in this
State, that the National Republican Err
ectstire Committee says this. Then, by
all means, YOU who want favOrs, You who
desire to secure your ends by favoritism
of the National party, who desire to
secure the administration on your side
to grant you tarorS; you who have no
idea of principle beyond this, vote for the
Radicals; but before You do await another
confession. Perhaps our Radical friend
will tell, sub rosa, how much will we have
to come dorm? Not every one can afford
10 buy services, and it is safe, ut least, to
calculate the contents Of the purse, before
it is known whether it can be afforded to
throw overheard Democrats who deal in
principles, rather than in favors.

COL. BENJAMIN WILSON.

Our Radical brethren throughout the
District are attempting to handle the
honorable gentlemen whose name heads
this article, and who is to be our repre-
sentative in the next Congress, in no
meaIv-mouthed manner. The devil
hates holy water and we congratulate
the gentleman that his Democracy is of
so pure type, rs toprevent any hopcthat
he can be worked upon by seekers of
fuvoritism only, and therefore naturally
calls forth upon him the denunciationS of
the party whose iniquitics are about to be
visited upon them. We notice too that
these attacks are made upon him person.

Now arguing from purely personal
standpoint. and taking no further notice

Of his scheme, aud insisted upon the
contract being carried out and this
was done. The wings and stands were
attached TO a. balloon gui-
ded by Mr.. Simmons, who,
after drifting over London toward
Brandon, in Essex, released his com.
panion at considerable hcight--three
or four hundred feet, it is said--and
the flying apparatus was Immediately
set in motion. For time" it stated,
it was n race between the acronant
and the flyer, De Groof winning by
two fields lengths, aud attaining
ground in perfect safety
How the accident occurred last
night can not be clearly assertained.
The apparatus, previous to the ascent
seemed in satisfactory order, and De
Groof--though according to custom,
he took and affectionate farewell of his
wife appeared fully confident of max
ing successful ascent. About a quar-
ter to 8 o'clock the balloon was cut
loose and rose slowly in the air, bear
ing with it the flying man and his gear.
There was hardly breath Of air, cir
cumstance which might have been sup
posed to have been favorable to the
performance of an acronautcal feat of
the kind. BE this as it may, however,
when the balloon had attained the
height of three or four hundred feet
the unfortunate performer seemed
either to nistrust his own powers or
the capacity of his apparatus, for he
was heard by the spectators below
shouting to the man in the balloon to
bring h IN nearer the earth. This re-
quest was complied with, and the bal
loon descended slowly toward Robert
street, which lies a quarter OF mile or
so to the north Of Cremorne Gardens.
On approaching st. Luke's church, Dir.
Simmons, the balloonist, was heard to
say You must cut loose now or
you'll come on the church roof" The
answer was Yes let me drop into
the church yard" and these we're, no
doubt the last words De Groof uttered.
He cut the rope when about eighty feet
from the ground, but to the horror Of
the spectators, who must have num-
bered many thousands, the apparatus,
instead of Initiating with the pressure of
the air, collapsed, and, turning round
and round in the descent, fell with
great violence in Robert street, yard
or two from the curb. stone. Assist
ance to the unfortunate man was in.
stantly forthcoming. Although still
breathing, he was insensible but the
dispatch with which he was extricated
from the wreck of his apparatus, and
conveyed to Chelsea Infrmary, proved
in vain. He never recovered consci-
business, and on his arrival at the hosp.
ital the surgeon pronounced him dead.
Madame De Groof, who witnessed her
husbands fall, tainted at the sight, and
still more painful scete took place a
short time later at the hospital when
she learned the whole sad truth. The
apparatus was carried off in shreds by
the crowd before the police could secure

Ia
1t was ANNOUNCED yesterday that at
1880 P. IN. NJ. de Groof, the Flying
Man. would repeat at the Cremorne
gardens, CHS astounding performances
OF flying through the air distance Of
five thousand feet, True to this an
nouncement, the Flying Man did Gu
deavor to repeat the exploit which he
had accomplished in safety ten days
before, aud persisted in the attempt.
N. dc Groof was Belgian, who had
expended years in constructing for
himself an apparatus with which he
believed it possible to initiate tue
fight Of a bird. The general outline
OF this apparatus was in imitation Of a
bats wings, the frame work being
made of cane, aud the intervening
membrane Of stout waterproof silk.
The wings were 10 all thirty .seyen feet
long, with an average breadth Of four
feet, while the tail was eighteen feet by
three. These wings were inserted into
two hinged frames that were attached
to wooden stand upon which the
aeronaut took his place. Here he had
three levers, which he worked by hand
to give his machine propulsion or
guidance, as might be required his
theory being that having started from
a given height he could manag. his
descent so as to reach the earth by q
sort Of inclined sweeping motion, with
out risk or conclusion.
About year ago, VI. de Groof made
an attempt, of which our correspond.

on him. How ridiculous How could

again, he said 81 don't want this to
get into the newspapers, for it hurts a
young mans reputation to have such
things published about him." Being
questioned how he came to deny facts
and pretend such innocence before
counsel, he made careless remarks, and
added that one thing he told was true
he was down on the common as he had
stated. A friend tried to get
at his Utmost heart aud talk
ed with him long about his
mother and brother. He seemed to
have a good deal Of regard for his
brother Charlie, and remarked.
