THURMAN'S SPEECH AND BAYARDs 81
LENCE

Senator Thurman made his speech at Mans
field o., on Saturday evening and his brother in
politics, Mr.. Bsyard, has had the opportunity of
deciding, by its success.or failure, whether it is
possible for ahard-money ant-inaation man to
consistently support the Ohio ticket putting
partly above principle, and the election of "Bilr'
Allen over the welfare Of the country. There is
a general expression that Mr. Thurman made
poor fist of 1.-THE plea OF pettifogger, and
not the bold clear utterance Of statesman. He
represented that the financial question was of
minor Importance though he declared, in the
Senate last winter, that it lie "the real question
that thislcountry has to settle," and he attempt
ed to show that the Ohio platform need
not be considered as endorsing an ir-
redeemable currency, its language was
not positively and explicitly to that effect
He therefore urged Democrats to vote the ticket
sinking for the present all concern on what, but
a few months ago, he thought the vital question
in the higher concern Of electing his uncle
Governor of Ohio. 4..
And now, we remain curious to know how the
Pollur of these Democratic gemlni testifes unto
the people. Senator Bayard is, we are told a
hard money man, and he knows, OF course, that
the Ohio Democrats making their campaign
test Of the possibility of further initiation of the
currency. If Mr.. Bayard keeps company with Mr..
Thurman, as he did last Autumn and Winter he
too must put party above principle and Aliens
interests over those of the country. But if he
holds to what he declared few months ago he
parts company with the Ohio Democrats, and
withdraws from the close ties which bound hin
to the Ohio Senator.
Can any Democrat imagine Andrew Jackson
and Thomas Il. Benton quailing before the Ohio
infationists, and yielding to them as Thurman
openly does, and Mr.. Bayard seems to do ?

who would win,as the appended score will show.
Only six innings were played. the game not be-

calling balls and strikes as strictly he should
have done made the innings longer than neces
sary. Dean OF the Agiles made clean heme
run.

southern women and Men.

From . recent letter, written by Miss Con-
stance Fenimore Woolson, while on trip through
the South, to the Cleveland Herald, We quote
the following
You can tell Southern girl at once. She is
rounder than her Northern sisters indeed she 10
never thin or lank; she walks with languid step,
and all her movements are slow and indolent
she is never alert. She has fine soft eyes, with
a serene expression, very different from the
beautiful red and white complexion Of New
York and New England, rather is sallow, with
few rose tints you might call her cream color.
She never looks anxious, no matter what nap
pens; she does not think she can
help matters by her advice or interference, but
sits back calmly and leaves everything to "Broth-
er," or Pa, pronouncing the latter word In
way defy Northern girl to initiate. The word
might be used as shibboeth it is not exactly
Pay" but halfway between that sud the
dresses picturesquely rather than trinity and
has brighter colors and more floating ends and
curls about her than Northern belle allowe.
She has pretty plump hands, but she is not par
tcular about the gloves that cover them-l mean
particular compared with Fifth Avenue rules;
In short, she is a more vouuInous sort of girl
in every way, and cares less about :" the fash
ion." She has one decided advantage over the
Northern girls, however, and that is her voices u
is sweeter and lower, q little trainante, perhaps,
but essentially gentle and womanly. cannot
speak SO highly OF the Southern men, the young
men of to-day. They do not seem to know ex-
actly what they represent. They have neither
the calm certainty OF Importance possessed by
the old time Southerner, nor the bright, active
energy and ambition of tho young Northerner.
They are either swept down, bewildered by the
stream, or else, having drifted ashore in some
little Lay, they SIT Oh the bank, and talk about
their ancestors. younger race is growing up,
however, with ideas more adapted to the tmes.

Governor Groome's course in the recent Mary
land Convention is severely criticised by the
newspapers of his own party and section. His
candidacy, it was openly charged previous to the
Convention, was not an earnest one, but simply
intended to aid the nomination OF Carroll, and
the hasty manner in which he withdrew, before
q ballot had been taken, subjects him to further
animadversion. He said he withdrew upon the
advice Of his friends but, singularly enoughft
cannot be learned who those friends were.
Those intimate with him, who had been conduct
ing his Canvass deny having given any euch
advice. AS public man, Governor Groome lost
ground in the recent CANVASS.
Mr. Gowen, of the Phada- and Reading Rail-
road Co., made an elaborate argument before
the Legislative investigating committee, at At
lantic City, last week, and the Philadelphia
Times, which seems to be his organ, printed the
whole Of it at great length, yesterday. The in
vestigation has afforded the members of the
Legislatures committee fine time, and will
probably have no result Of any value So great
a corporation as the Philadelphia & Reading Il.
r. Co. is quite beyondlthe control of such Leg
isiatures as usually sit at Harrisburg, or indeed
at any other State capital.
The worst OF news comes from New York.
Tilton's counsel pretend that his suit against
Beecher is to be retired. Yesterday, Judge Nor
ris notified Messrs. Sherman and Sterling, coun-
Bel for Beecher to answer in new trial on the
first Monday in September. Mr.. Norris said his
side have new evidence and that the case can
be tried in ten days, but in Tracy's opinion it
will last "much longer" No doubt Tracy s
right, but can it be possible, that the Beecher
Trial is to be repeated?
Very extensive quotations would be required
from at least dozen newspapers in order to give
full idea Of the disgust amongst Eastern Shore
Democrats at the material of their State ticket
and the manner in which it was nominated.
There is general outburst of Indignation from
Elkton all the way down to the Virginia line and
it will be simply wonderful if worthy, clean,
honest State ticket is not put in the field inde-
pendently, and elected by decisive majority.

DIED-May IA, 1875, al his residence
near Graysvilie, Monroe County, Ohio
NORRIS COVERT, aged 60 years months
and 90 days.
Seven days of dreadful suffering from
pneumonia of lungs brought this heal
thy, Industrious life to close. He was
born in Harrison County, Ohio, August
q, 1914, and resided there, except two
years in Belmont County, until April,
1851, when he moved to near New Bir-
mingham, in Guernsey County. In 1856
he moved to near Antioch, in Monroe
County. Then in 1867 he resided
near Matamoras,in Washington County,
when in the fall of 1867 he took up his
residence near Graysville, where he died
While he enjoyed general good health
be was hard working man. He was
the oldest of five brothers and two Sis
ters, (one sister is dead.) He had no
opportunity to secure an education but
persevered until he became fair English
scholar. Starting out very poor, during
his early married years, much affection
in his family kept him in deep adversely,
but by great energy succeeded in leaving
his large family in comfortable home.
No doubt his years were shortened by
his great perseverance.
In 1888 he married Jane Wright, by
whom three children were born; only
one Of these, Rev. j S. Covert, is living.
This woman died May, 1S47, and in Oc-
teber, 1S4S, he married Catharine Swal-
low, by whom nine children were born;
all of these are living. Thus he leaves q
large family, some Of whom are depend
ent.
In 1856, Dec. %, he Joined the Clear
Fork Baptist Church, in Guernsey Coun-
tv, and was baptized by Rev F. Jones.
He remained hard working Christian,
always ready to do and give. From his
earnest work in the school, be was often
called the 'children's friend" The
church will greatly miss him. Who will
fill his place?
His remains were buried in Unity
Cemetry near Antioch on Sunday, May
16 Hundreds gathered from near and
far to pay this last tribute of love, among
them large family connection. A SER
mon was preached by Elder H. Lyons,
Luke II, 40. "Be ye also ready" after
which touching tribute was paid to his
memory by his son, Rev. j. s. Covert
He spoke of his fathers preparation, ,and
for five years he was expecting early the
messenger to come; so expressed in
June, 1870, August, 1872, and on Janu.
ary l, 1875, he wrote that son letter,
saying, Il am entering upon my last
