TIE Philadelphia Times accords to
the Press of that city some measure
of consistency in its pitiable ignorance
in giving publicity to every campaign
falsehood that anybody else fnvents.
1t announced the other day that Judge
Pershing cast a most disloyal vote in
1865 when he voted against the bill
disfranchising deserters, and adds:
"At the same time he was unwilling
that good soldiers who stood to their
duty should have the privilege of vo-
ting" Lest some Republican jour
nails, with reputation to lose, should be
misled by such stupid blunders, they
might be advised that Judge Pershing
uniformly favored and voted for every
measure proposed to hasten soldier
suffrage in the field; that the disfran-
chising principle against which he vo-
ted had already been pronounced
squarely unconstitutional ana inoper-
ative by the Republican supreme court
of the State, aid that the very bill
against which he voted, in Difference
to the decision of the courts, was soon
after pronounced unconstitutional and
void by our Republican court Of last
resort 1t is of no consequence for the
Press to utter such silly blunders, but
there are reputable Republicanorgans
which might be misled by its chronic
imbecility, and for their benefit we
state the truth. .Ts r.aa-s

THE Chicago Tribune has been
somewhat tardv in acknowledging the
facts contained in the following eX-
tracts from its columns, but then 1T IS
never too late even for Republican
journal odo good. The Tribune, how
ever. might have held closer to the
truth of history by explaining that
every intolerant society that ever found
life and favor in the country sprung
from the party, by whatever name, that
was ranged in opposition to the Dem
ocratic organization. The Tribune
says:
1t is safe to say that there never was
secret Dolitical organization in this country
whose existence was not very brief, whose
influence upon public affairs was not per-
nicious in the end and whose leading mem
bers did not live to regret their connection
with the movement Every student of his
tory knows this from the lessons that ne
has cleaned from the past, and every man
of mature yeais knows 1t from his own per-
sonal observation. In this country and IN
all other countries the banding together of
men in the dark with oaths, signs, grips,
passwords. and penalties, S,-resoivlng III Sc
cret and acting in secret,-haS always ac-
complshed more hurt than good, and So
eietv, religion, individuals, and the State
have each suffered more or less Ill conse-
o,uenee of such organizations. This assor-
ton is very broad one, but it is proved to
be correct by the workings of every secret
political society that ever had an existence
in the United States. Take, for example,
the history of the Know Nothings,- or
der that sprung up in a night all over New
England, and especially i'll Massachusetts,
getting temporary possession OF all the
State Offices and electipg Governors, Con
cressmen, and Senators what credit is
now accorded TO the men who belonged to
that midnight band, or what permanent
beneficept measures of public policy did
they inaugurate and crystalize into law?
They stimulated passion, excited religious
prejudice, formented iealousies, and foster
ed traditional and sectarian hate-that was
all.

THE Radical papers throughout the
State make it matter of grave com
plaint against Victor +. Piollet, the
Democratic candidate for State Treas
urer, because, some twenty-eight years
ago, when he was q member of the
Legislature and was offered a bribe
for his vote and influence in reference
to a certain bank charter, he refused
to take it and dseXpOsed the scoundrel
who sought to corrupt him. An hon
est man would say that Mr.. Piollet
act.d d right and deserves public com
menaation and applause. If he had
been q Radical of the modern stripe
and on the make, as the members of
Congress and our own Legislature of
that party notorioUsly are and have
been, these same organs Of Radical
opinion would not be quite so decided
in their dcnunciations of riollet. In
that whole transaction there is nothing
to impugn the honor and integrity of
Victor +. Piollet, but, on the contrary,
everything to prove that he is an hon
est, unpurchaseable man The people
of Pennsylvania have made up their
minds that no thief and plunderer
shall take charge of the money in the
public treasury, and as Mr.. Piollet
spurned the bribe which was offered
him and refused to soil his hands with
it, they will back him up by their
votes and summon him to a position
in which he will take care that so far
as their treasury is concerned, nc
I There's shall break in and plunder fol-
their own private and personal advan-
/ tage and to the detriment of the pub
/ lie interests. This is their settled and
! determined conclusion, from which
they cannot be driven by any side
/ issues, and from which, when made
/ there can be no appeal

Thomas and Magdalena Stark, resid-

last Thursday night intending to commit
suicide. Thomas partly recovered on Fri
day, and repeated the dose, making two

failed to kill him. His wife died and he
says he will end his own life at tie first OBJ

A YoUNG LADY OUTRAGED AND MUIR
DERED.-A Bellefontaine %. special of the
23d ult. says: Yesterday Miss Laughlin,
young lady, aged sixteen, accompanied
man named Schel and his wife on an eX-
curs:on to the reservoir, several miles dis
tant. Mrs. Shell being fatIgued was left
with the team, and Schell with the young
lady started after wild plums. Schell re-
turned without Miss Laughln, stating that
she had strayed from him, and he couldn't
find her. An alarm was given and search
made, resulting in finding the body of the
young lady this forenoon, nearly nude, her
throat cut from ear to ear, and the grass
showing that a desperate struggle had oc-
Cured. ScheA, though suspected, was not
arrested until this afternoon, and upon ex-
animation a bloody knife was found in his
pocket. He is now under arrest with a
heavy guard around him to protect him
from the excited people. @
sssr . LATER PARTICULARS.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-The Gaseette's S
Bellefontaine special says Mrs. Schell, wife
of the man arrested yesterday for the mur-
der of Miss Laughlin, near Belle Center, on
Thursday, was arrested and testified before
the Coroner to-day that her husband had
told her that he intended to ravish Miss
Laughlin and kin her afterward that their
ride on Thursday was planned for the pur-
pose, and that her husband threatened to
kill her if she followed him when he went
into the bushes with Miss Laughlin.
She says he returned in about two hours,
stating that Miss Laughlm fought so hard
tina. he did not succeed in ravisEing her,
although after he had stabbed her she said,
''Don't kill me, Jim / won't resist any
more" But he feared she would tell, and
SO killed her, threatening also to kill his
wife if she told of it. Mrs. Schell also
testified to other crimes committed by her
husband.
The affair causes most intense excite
ment; business is suspended and it is re-
ported that several hundred citizens of the
surrounding country are coming into Belle
fontaine tonight determined to lynch
Schell. Many wagon loads have already
arrived. The Sheriff has summoned a
strong posse, who are guarding the JAIL
but trouble is expected before morning. =
STILL LATER--SCHELL LYNCHED. 5F
About three hundred men attacked the
jail at Bellefontaine about half-past 12 o.
clock tonight, battered down the doors
dragged Schell out and hung him to a tree.
The guards made no resistance. Schell
protested his innocence of the crime.
