 fat woman, going on fifty year old" toiled up the four pair o stairs, rested her breath awhile and then wanted to sae the "heat reporter"
 ssI'n alone in this world,' sht commenced, as she sat down and pulled out her handkerchief. l "A widow, eh?' queried tho head reporter.
 aYes, poor striving widder whose husband has been dead these fourteen years" "Death is sad thing, madam. It crushes hopes, sewers ties, and breaks hearts"
 aHe was such a good man" she sobbed, covering her face with her hankerchief, "and such a good provider. We alters had meat, and 'taters, and preserves; and do you know that he neve gave me an unkind word?" s'He must have been an excel lent man"
 s.He was-he was. He'd git up O nights and cover up the child ren and shake down the stove, and if his meals wa asn't ready, or he found buttens off his shirt, he would never open his head.'
 "And your grief is yet strong-- your sorrow just as deep?'
 "Just the same as the day he lay dying, and took my hand and whispered: Cortilda don't take on so.' Yes I'm greaving just the same, or I wouldn't care what folks said. That's what brought me up here-folks are talking about me-"
 "They are, eh?.
 "Yes, they are. They've said was after widower; that fell in love with one of the boarders; that I was keeping up a cores pondence with an undertaken, and that f-was ueau rin iovc wftir-u dozen men,"
 "And is it not true?"
 "True, young man! Look at me! Great Heavens! do look like enc who wanted to get mar ried?"
 "Well, E O."
 "How could I marry again." she exclaimed. "How could 1 forget that dear form beneath the sod and smile on another man? Mar "! Great stars! Young man, but how could they start such stories?"
 "And you want them denid?"
 eThat's it. Here's ten cents, and 1 want you to come out to- morrow in piece so long and say that I'll prosecute these slan- derers if these stories don't cease. Put it in red type, mister-in red type and big letters, at that; a De troit widow can't escape the vile slanderers no matter how we'll she behaves. I marry again--think of it young man!
 'sBut widows often do re marry"
 "Alas! they do young man. Some how it seems lonesome to be widder, and have no one to de- fend you and be all alone--but, but I couldn't think of taking an other husband--not unless he was rich"
 And she wiped her eyes again and felt her way down stairs.

Pendleton's hand writing, while it would
go to confirm Judge Huffman's theory
as to how the omission occurred, it
would by no means relieve him Of grave
responsibility; for the law says he shall

We shall not, however, go in to the
merits of this case in the present article.
We may hereafter show that the whole
proceeding by which Mr.. Browns note
found its way into the hands of the

remains there uncollected, a standing
imposition upon the Taxpayers of the

HERZEGOVINA, about which our cable
dispatches have SO much to say just now
is a province of European Turkey, con-
tanning 1000 square miles, and popu-
lation of less than aquarter of a million.
As in the neighboring provinces, the in
habitants are mostly Christians, and
aisliking their MOhammedan rulers at all
times, hate them especially now that
tax is being collected. They have long
desired Independence, but it is the policy
of the Great Powers not to weaken the
Ottoman rule just now. II the pro-
vinces should throw off the Turkish yoke
it would displease all their powerful
neighbors to have them set up govern
ment for themselves, while Great Brit
ain, France, and Germany would not
relish their annexation to Austria or
Russia. Should the present insurrec-
ton against Turkey continue, and in
volye sii the other provinces, n change
of programme might be made. What
ever may happen, however, will be de-
terlnined more by Cabinet Councils than
by the vaIor of the proyincials.(<Cin-

We notice that, among other speakers,
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee has secured the services of LeGrand
Byington, of Iowa, to stump Ohio for
Allen and imitation. Byington is not
AiISRoWn to fame in this State. In 1884
be represented Jackson end Pike coun-
ties ia the Legislature Of Ohio, and vas
one of the hardest of the hard-money
men of that period So ineensed were
the soft money men against him, that in
a Whigprocession in Columbus they had
him IN etfgy. suspended over what they
called 'the gridiron Of hell" He is
very proper person to assist Allen IN tax
ing care of the imitation baby.

Republican State Platform.

The representatives of Ohio, in con
vention assembled, reaffirming the car
dinal principles of their organization
which have become the received maxim,
of the policy of the State and nation,
declare on specific points the series oi
sentiments following:
First. The States are one as a nation,
and all the citizens are equal under the
laws, and entitled to their fullest pro-
lection.
Second That n policy of finance should
be steadily pursued which. without un-
necessary shock to b:siness or trade,
will ultimately equaiize the purchasing
capacity of the coin and paper dollar.
Third. We are in favor of tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection to
American industry.
Fourth. We stand by free education,
our public school system, the taxation
Sf all for its support, and no division of
the school fund.
Fifth Under ourRepublican system of
government there should be no connec-
tion, direct or indirect, between church
and state, and we oppose all legisla
ton in the interest of any particular
sect upon this subject. We should not
fail to profit by the experience of for
eign governments where the efforts of
the church TO control the state consti-
tute an evil of great magnitude and en-
dangers the power and prosperity of the
people.
SIKH We demand such a revision of
the patent laws as will relieve industry
from the expressions of monopolies.
Seventh. A grateful people can never
cease to remember the services of our
soldiers and sailors, and it is due to them
that liberality and generosity should OBJ
tain in the adjustment of pay and boun-
ties.
Eighth. That we demand that the
public domain shall be scrupulously re-
served for occupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth. The determination of the Gov
ernment to collect the revenues and
prevent and punish frauds, has our nm
qualified approval.
Tenth That the power of municipal
corporations to create debts should be
restricted, and local and other expendi-
lures should be reduced so as to dimin-
ash taxation.
Eleventh. The observance of Wash
ington's example in retiring at the close
70 second Presidential :erm, will be in
the future, as it has been in the past, re-
garded as a fundamental rule in the un-
written law of the Republic.
Twelfth. The distinguished success of
his administration, which, to the fame
of the patriot and soldier has added that
of the capable and judicious statesman,
entities President Grant to the gratitude
of his eountrymen.

THE Louisville Courier Journal Dem
Ocratic), speaking of the Ohio election,
says that "there is little in American
politics but scoundrelism, the average
American voter being n purchasable
wretch, without intelligence, without
patriotism, and without honor" The
Louisville organ of the Democracy
doubtless knows enough OF its own par
ty to speak authoritatively for it; but it
has nc right TO include all American
voters in tie odium attaching to the
purchasability of Democrats. We ae-
cept its estimate of its own party friends;
but it has no authority TO speak for 9th

OUR rosy Liberal cola a5orer, Cumming.
ham, was in the city last evening. He
and Senator Mcdonald, OF Indiana,
have been infusing a mild article of hard
money theory, tinged with greenback
practices through the Ohio contest. We
understand that both men are in favor
of growing up with the country. Cun-
ningham was one Of the persons engaged
in burying the Democratic party out of
sight forever when Thurman stopped
the funeral. Cunningham and the edi-
tor of the Enquirer had the corpse in
the graveyard, and said it ''smelt so"
and Thurman came along and dispersed
the mourners. Now the party ought to
be great happiness to the Senator; but
we do not believe it is. Cunningham is
happy.

PARsoN BRowNLow, of Tennessee,
hits the mark when he says that if the
vast army of idlers in that State were
put to some useful work, the difference
in the products Of the State would be SO
great that they would soon cease to
eroak about the State debt, but would
have it paid. True; and not less true
with respect to the other Southern
States than with regard to Tennessee.
Laziness and shiftlessness are the curse
of that whole section. At a recent meet
ing of an agricultural society at Dalton,
Georgia, for instance, the President
called upon all present hoowned sheep
and no dogs to rise, and thirteen rose
up; and called upon all who owned dogs
aad no sheep to rise, and sixty or seven
ty responded Is it any wonder that
such cUr-ioving drones and loafers should
be clothed with poverty as with a gars
ment.

STATE SENATOR.

We had the pleasure, last Saturday,
of n short visit from @. j. Swami, ESQ,
of Ottawa, Putnam county. The Re
publicans of that county are earnestly
urging Mr. Swann's name as of one of the

from this District. He is gentleman OF
cordial and winning address, of sterling
good sense, good business habits, and is
a working and influential Republican.
If nominated, he viii add strength to

WHY should not the farmers farm, the
manufacturers shop and the mechanics
tools be exempt from taxation as well as
the national bankers government bonds?
Will some Republican journal answer?
--BucyTus Forum.
Simply because the Government, by
and with the consent of the people. did
not see fit to find it necessary To pledge
exemption from taxation of the farm,
the shop or the tools Had not the

SAD FATE OF sENAT0R sEITz


The correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commereigl thus speaks Of the sad fate
Of this CT ghanite."
Let me pause here to drop a tear TO
the memory of a consistent Democrat.
The theme Is suggested by what have
been writing on the discussions Of the
Geghan Bill The subject of this notice
was lifelong Democrat. He has often
been referred to in your letters from Co
lumbus as a man Of convictions whom
one could differ with and yet entertain
for him the kindest feeling OF respect.
| am speaking of the Hon. John Seitz,
of Seneca county. He served his party
in the Ohio House Of Representative for
four years, and was then promoted 70
IT, Senate. | b. lieve he ran d narrow
chance OF being the Democratic nominee
last year against Charles Foster for Con
gress. Well, Brother Seitz maintained
his position in the Senate as q man Of
ideas of his own, but a loyal party man.
who had every prospect of reelection 10
his Senatorial seat according TO Demo
cratic usage; bat one day the Geghan
Bill came over from the House, and Seitz
hesitated. He would 90 through fire
and sulphur for the Democratic party,
but this ecclesiastical interference was
horrible to his Democratic instincts.
Then the pressure of the priesthood was
brought to bear. Senator SeitZ was
given to understand that the menace of
withdrawal of the Catholic vote was
no idle matter. He wavered, and finally
voted for the bill. He saved the ''solid
vote, &c, to the party, but lost him
self The nominating convention of his
district a few days ago deliberately
threw him overheard. Whether his
overthrow was the result OF his vote for
the Geghan Bill, or of his hesitation
about voting forit, cannot certainly be
known. Judging from Senator McDon-
AIDS defense of the bill, it must have
been his hesitation about voting for it
that did the business. He is gone, but
as John Van Buren, said, ''The blood of
the martyrs is the seed of the church"

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, 10Th Aug, 1875.
DEAR Sir. Replying TO yonrs Of the
11th inst, am Just now Lady of with
my bronchial difficulty; my voice is
hOarSe and weak. 1t is hardly probable
that | will be able to make n public
address for some time to come. Under
other circumstances, it would be agree
able to me to speak at soIie point in
your State upon the question of finance
at issue in your canvass. 1t is clear that
the Democratic party of your State has
declared a policy of imitation and repu-
diation which is at war with all honest
finance, and which no citizen who re-
CARDS the public welfare need hesitate to
condemn. If had the power, should
feel it my duty to aid you in resisting
their false doctrine.
Very respectfully,
r. +. FENToN.
