THE Democrats in Wisconsin have vir,
tually abandoned their organization so fal
as the State nominations are concerned
and will attempt to repeat the Reform dodge.
The State Journal abiding to this fact,
makes use of the following appropriate
comparison:

SOME of the Pennsylvania newspapers
exhibit an undue anxiety about the man
ner in which the Third Term project will
be handled by the Republican convention
of that State, which meets at Lascaster on
the 26th inst. Ifthey were as indifferent
about it as President Grant is himself, their
anxiety would be entirely allayed.

THE statement that number of Penn
sylvania Office holders in Washington will
attend the Lancaster convention, to mani
pulate it on the Third Term question, is an
unmiugated falsehood. There is now no
more authority for the discussion of this
question then there was when it was first
begun. 1t may do very we'll to argue it as
an abstract proposition; but the man who
ventures to give it any importance other
wise assumes a personal responsibility in
the expression of his personal opinions.

Judge Wheeler, of Louisiana compromise

letter he departs so very widely from his YER

Later returns from Ohio are not SO fav-
orable to the republicans as those received
earlier and commented upon yesterday.
Looking nj the matter simply as polite
ian we see nothing for regret in the dmin-
ishing majority but, the rather, much for
encouragement. With close vote and a
bare majority either way, while it shows
that initiation has still much of vitality and
will have to be persistently battled, yet it,
also, shows that the democratic party will
be forced to meet this question III their ma
tional convention and that their decision,
whatever it may be, can but result in di-
vidihg and demoralizing the party. The
iufationists of Ohio cannot stand on spe-
Gle paying platform any more than the
hard money democrats of New York can
on a rag money one. It shows, moreover,
that the republican party, having rid itself
of iullatiOnists, is distinctively and squarely
committed to an carly resumption OF specie
payments, and the splendid gains it has
made in ONO with its largely increased
majority in Iowa, leaves 10 room for doubt
that on this issue, as national Issue, it
must surely win-for honesty in finance,
as well as honesty in everything else, is
sure to prevail. Again, the very closeness
of the vote in OHIO will continue TO CON-
pei the nomination of men of ability and
capacity and force the bummers 10 the
rear. With uneXceptionable nominations,
rs the advocates Of honesty and honorable
dealing, and with public sentiment
aroused to the danger o! initiation and re-
pudiGtion, who can doubt the result? Ii
is only little harder work, the nomination
of little better men, and the display of a
little more determination and the republic
can party will be invincible-Oh and
Iowa have demonstrated that.

We do not think the Massachusetts de-
mocracy have strengthened their ticket
much by the nomination Of John Quincy
Adams for Acknowledgements. lie is a
man of honesty and ability enough, and,
perhaps, he would make as good n substi-
tulc nominee as any one. lie has been be-
fore the people often enough for the people
to begin to understand him, and is better
known as the great rejected than in any
other way. His great passport to favor is
that he is the son of Charles Francis
Adams, the grandson of John Quincy
Adams, and great-grandson of John Adams
but the people have come to that state
that they want something beside sircs aud
grand sires to recommend men for Office.
There is one consolation however. He
will stand defeat better than almost any
other man. he is used to it, end we pre-
sumo he will bear Il again with commenda-
BILE resignation.

The Wild Woman Sensation.

The wild woman" sensation in the town
of Wat ervleit, TO which allusion has been
made, has received additional interest from
later developments which have transpired,
according TO a veracious correspondent of
the 1ryus Louis Bourbaki, resident of
Vermont, has identified the female as his
daughter Emma, aud his story in regard to
how she came to her present condition is
somewhat as follows In 1878 BourbGki
lived in Albany, and Ahere his daughter, a
bright, blooming lass of II, was led astray
by dry goods clerk. She was deserted by
her heartless deceiver, and on the truth be-
coming known, her father, too, turned HIS
back upon her, and cast her out to die or
live. He repented of his act soon after.
but the girl had disappeared and no trace
of her could be found. Time passed on,
and Bourbaki removed to Vermont where,
few days since, be read the story of the
"wild woman of Waterveit" His heart
told him 1t was his daug liter, and, obeying
its impulse, he came on to reclaim and take
her home. He applied at Kearn's hotel,
and party was speedily organized. The
wild woman was traced to her lair, deer
cavern in the dense woods. When discov-
cred she acted like a maniac, but on her
father uttering the magic word Emma"
the flOodgates of memory were opened, the
rays of reason stole again to her brain, and
throwing herself into the arms of her father
she wept. The reunited father and daugh-
ter are now on their way to the farmers
home on the green hills of Vermont.

A PRACTICAL RESULT.

Had St. Pau's mission been delayed
eighteen hundred years we fear he would
have met with sorry success. The people
after Ii sning to the teachings of the pres
en-, day would have turned deaf ear to his
preaching. In vain would he have urged
them not to be fcrgetful to entertain stran-
gers In vain would have been the induce
ment 'for thereby some have entertained
" strangers unawares,' as the reply would
come prompt and emphatic, doubtless ac-
companied by knowing wink, Cramps"
The daily teachings of portion of the
public press, supplemented as it has been
by weekly utterances from the pulpit, have
not only stirred up spirit of lawlessness,
but has created an idle, unreasoning fear
of tramps. The word tramp is enough to
excite a whole community, causes brave
men and courageous women to tremble
and turn pale, puts them IN immediate fear
for the safety of their lives, honor or prop
erty and transforms an entire community
from peaceable, law abiding citizens into a
brutal, unreasoning mob with murder in
their hearts il not blood on their hands.
Should. perchance, one of these tramps,
harmless and noifensve of himself, and
only terrible to the diseased Imagination,
be shot without other cause than that in
duced by idle fear simply because he was
supposed to be tramp, the press the pull
pit and the community unite in applauding
and iustifying the act and in shouting
"well done. another tramp got his deserts"
We would not be understood as saying
that the shooting of tramp is never justi-
fable under any circumstances. Circum-
stances might, and perhaps do sometimes
Justify such summary dealings, but the oc-
casons are rare indeed, and such summary
vengeance Is more often the work of mis-
cradle cOwardice than Of stern necessity.
Aside from the spirit of lawlessness created
and fostered by the pulpit and press in the
treatment of trampsrecommended by them,
ii is having "A more extended effect. Mems
respect for the laws Of God and their
wholesome fear of human law may and
does restrain from lawlessness but these
cannot affect human nature. Such TO IL
greater or less extent by nature. these
teachings are making men more and more
timid, unreasonable, suspicious, inhospita-
bic and unchristan. The mere fact that
such a howl has been made relative 10
tramps causes otherwise well meaning peo-
pie to regard with suspicion aud treat in
Hospitality any and all strangers unless per-
chance, like Delano, they have Il certificate
OF character IN their pockets--and such a
certificate would be apt to be considered a
forgery as we wish we csuld regard De.
lanos. They reverse St. Pau's rule and
are unmindful of entertaining strangers
because, forsooth, they fear that they may
be OF the some who entertain tramps una
wares.
The Portsmouth, New Hampshire Times
gives us a case in point, well illustrating
the uncharitable, inhospitable, suspicious
unchristan spirit engendered by this sillv
fear of tramps. Elder John Hook. well
known as an evangelist and successful
reyvalist, started from Northampton for

Killed His Game.

Samuel Ames, aged u years, of Rome,
n. Y, met with quite an adventure while
on visit to Worthwhile, Fulton county, a
few days since. He went into the woods
and WAS almost Immediately confronted by
monstrous black bear, which had been
hidden in the brakes and underbrush. Mr..
Ames sprang over fence near by and the
bear after him. The animal attacked him
with its paws, and as Mr.. A. had no wea-
pom to defend himself, he seized the bear
by the long hair at each side of its head,
and held the brute at arms length. The
bear kept his fore paws padding RAPIDLY,
and tore off all the old gentleman's cloth
ing on the front side to the skin, scratch.
ing him considerably. The animal forced
him to his knees once or twice, acting very
savage, and would doubtless have MANNED
and perhaps killed him had he not obtained
possession of piece OF rail, which he used
with such good effect As to drive Bruip
away. 1t was thought to be female with
cubs, and that she made the attack In order
to give her young a chance TO escape. The
old gentleman showed good pluck at least,
and escaped with slight bruises and
scratches. The bear was taller than Mr..
Ames when she stood erect on her hind
feet
