and toO-deeply plundered treasury of
the nation. This thing of condemning
an action because il originated at the
North and benefited Northern rogues,
at the expense of the entire people, and
applaudmg similar action simply be-
cause it is located at the South, is not
the right thing, nor the logical thing,
nor the Democratic thing. ALI the
teachings and traditions Of the Demo-
cratic party are against Congressional
subsidies. To approve this attempted
raid upon the public treasury is to con-
denim and repudiate a most vital prin-
eiple of Democracy; and for Democrats
to approve this sort of thing would be
unmitigated qualification.

THE Owensboro She'd is respectful
ly informed that we viii leave the Dem
Ocratic party when it best snits Us, and
not before; nor do we recognize It's ssi~
thority or ability to read US out of that
organization. 1t is Just such intensely
Confederate folk as the editor of that
paper-one of the sort who periodically
applauded his neighbsrs and friends
when they went out to imperil their
lives for the Southern cause, but took
exceeding great care to keep their own
precious bodies out of the way of YAM
kee bullets-that are playing thedev-
il with the Democratic party in Ken
lucky to-day. There is not COnfed-
crate soldier in Kentucky who would
not look with lofty and indignant scorn
upon the Federal soldier who would go
to the polls and vote to reward any
man for his services in the Confederate
cause. And the Federal soldier who
could be guilty of so debasing an act
would deserve to be scorned by all
honest men. We must do the Con-
federate~soldier element of the Demo-
cratic party the justice to say that they
are not the ones who are precipitating
this trouble upon the party.
A word in addition, to prevent the
possibility of installing us on this mill
titary reward question. This Is our
position, very plainly stated: We are
opposed torewarding any man for the
part he took in the late war, whether
on the Confederate or Federal side, and
will oppose any one who may be pre-
scented for our suffrage on that ground.
We do not object to any man because
he was Confederate soldier. All we
ask of any convention is that it shall
nominate men OF good character and
fsir standing, who shall possess the nee
essary qualifications for the position for
which he is nominated, and we care
not fig which side he fought on. We
have no "UniOn Democrat" to ''trot
out" We are no man worshipper;
we are no idea worshipper. We are
simply a Democrat who thinks great
deal more of the good name and repu'
tation of the party and the welfare Of
the commonwealth than he does of the
political Advancement of any man.
This, and only this, is tie position We
occupy. sE ii <

A young and attractive looking lady,

Last Friday night a young woman, liv-

Mollie Hagy, sometimes called Lulu, was
noticed by her room mate, Mrs. Josephine
Christina, to be suffering as if in pain.
This was about 10 o'clock. She asked
her what was the matter, and was as
sured that there was nothing. A few
minutes after she called for a drink of
water, laid down, and muttered something
about her poor little boy. She then grew
deathly sick, when Mrs Josephine, be-
coming alarmed, ran and called Mrs.
Werneth, who Immediately sent for a
doctor. But it was too late the unfor-
tunate woman was dead. A small empty
vial, labeled oil of bitter almonds, told
the cause of her death, but the motive is
still unknown.

Extract from the statement made by
PAIGE, of Washington: 81

From the sale Of the bonds in Paris.
Gray turned the conversation to the Land
Grant bill before Congress, and asked me
what thought its prospects were. | told
him that Fremont felt absolutely sure Of
the House and also Of the Senate. with the
exception of the Pacific Railroad Commit
tee; that Senator Howard was bitterly OPP
posed to the bill, and would oppose it to

ed S25, 1000 to secure his vote he Gray
would advance it, and take security upon
the iron in New Orleans. In this con-
meet ion he told me to take the proposition
to Fremont. After we had disposed of
Howard in this way, in our conversation,
/ told him that Stewart of Nevada, would
also be difficult man. to coptrol. Gray
Immediately replied by saying that Stew
art was one of those bigh-priced political
knaves, who must have money in hand,
or huge slice Of the job itself, before be
would move an inch, and that he would
take him in hand himself ....
Senator Abbott of North Carolina, was
also on the Pacific Railroad Committee,
and understood to be opposed to Fremont,
and in the interest of the Atlantic and Pa
cific Railroad Being very well acquaint-
I'd with Abbott, called on him and en-
deavored to secure his vote TOR the Menu
phis and Ell Paso. He spoke Of Fremont
in the severest terms, and of HAYS, Press
ident of the Atlantic and Pacific, in the
most fattering-said the latter had sold
him stock in the road in Missouri, of
which he was President, al one-fourth its
real value, from which he had made about
$50, 900, and asked me if Fremont could
do as we'll by him in the event of bis Civ
ing his vote and using his influence for his
road A few days after this conversation
Abbott called upon me and asked me if
would endorse his note FOR S. 900 for nine
ty days. / said yes, and endorsed it, and
upon my endorsement had it discounted

the note went to protest, and was called

chamber and saw Abbott about it. Hi
said he supposed would take up the nott
