well TODD, young and handsome, fell in
love with pretty school teacher, and was
apparently loved tremendously in return.
The two became engaged and would per-
haps now be married but for an accident.
The school marin, on talking with a
young lady friend one day, confded to her
the fact that the grocer had plenty of
money, and that as soon as they were mar
ried they were going to live in a brown
stone house on certain fashionable street.
The friend told another friend in con-
fdence: and so the thing travelled until it
reached the ears of the grocer. He was
astonished. He had dreamed of a pleas
ant little home over his store, with wife
to sympathize with his objects and to aid
him, not wife to spend his start toward
fortune in mere display. 1t dawned
upon him that the school teacher might be
in love with his money rather than with
him, and he consulted an old friend, a
regular Maj. Pendennis. Mai. Pendennis
had suggestion. He proposed that the
lover should put on an air Of deep deiec
ton before his lady love, and only after a
time explain reluctantly that he had
loaned his money without good security.

heartless bachelor, and was dumbfounded
at the result. The school-teacher became

JeweIrs Pinchbeck reform.

When it was recently discovered that a
small ring of mail contractors in the
southern states, supported by and sup
posed to be in partnership with Spencer,
the carpet-bag senator, had gained advan-
tages in their bids by bribing clerks and
messengers, abstracting official papers.
equally criminal, Mr. Jewell was held up
as model postmaster general, and these
facts were cited as proofs Of bis zeal for
reform. Meantime. it was noticed that
the great straw bidders, who had stolen
by the million and divided the spoils with
punctuality, were still high in favor at the
White House and the department.
An indictment for bribery was found
against j. j. Kinds, who is known in Ala
bama as one OF Spencer's strikers, and to
give an appearance of yigor to the pro-
ceedings, the case was tried during the
closing days of last week; but there was
no heart in the prosecution. The testi-
mony at hand was overwhelming, and left
no possible doubt of the guilt of all the
parties concerned in the rascality, and of
others, too, who were protected from ex-
posture by official partially. Yet Kinds
never feared conviction, for he boldly
declared that if he was sent to the peni-
Tertiary others occupying high stations
would soon be his companions. He,
Spencer, and their confederates knew all
about the great straw bidders, who were
their benefciaries, what rate of percent
age was distributed, and how the frauds
were carried through the department.
This knowledge was the secret power
with which they operated, and in a certain
sense defed the prosecution. which, in the
hands of George 2. Fisher as district at
torney, was lame, timid, and treacherous
from the beginning to the end, when the
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
There are various indictments still pend
ing against Kinds, but as this was the
strongest case, it is reasonable to assume
they will not be pursued. He and his
friends at least know how to get them dis
missed: Mr.. Jewell, who is junketing
through the west, prudently quit Wash
ington just before the farcical trial came
off.

Masters, Of Washington county, New York, in
relation to the same subject. He is firmly of the
opinion that he met Morgan in Smyrna, Asia Min

circumstances which go very far to sustain his
views as to Morgan's whereabouts in that year.
His theory is that after. Morgan's addiction, the

The democrats OF Nebraska at the.rs State Con
vention on Thursday deca;ed positively for a
sound currency.
The Cincinnati Commercial pronounces the
Ohio imitation movement the most important event
since the close of the rebellion.
Judge Pershng, the democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, aided his party to OBJ
struct and delay the passage of the law to enable
Pennsylvania soldiers to vote in the field, and voted
for batch of resolutions dcnouncing the measures
undertaken by the Federal Government for sup
pressing the rebellion, and censuring Abraham,
Lincoln for Issuing the Emancipation Proclana-
ton.
twill be remembered that the way the democrats
secured the organization of the North Carolina
Constitutional Convention was by pcrsuading their
candidate for President to vote for himself. A
further effort has been made to increase the DEM
ocratic majority by killing off one of the republi-
can members Mr.. McCabe of Edgecomb has
been twice fired upon, but the shots missed. The
Charlotte Observer (dem.) is inclined to lament
the failure, and admits that, since the majority Is
so elise, it had hoped that some of the radicals
would find it convenient to pass in their checks.

80 the democrats open the campaign
with a scappy platform and PATCHWORK
ticket. The soundness of the one is rain
err more marked than the respec.abllity OF
the other, though both show gratifying
evidences of the influence o! more
elevated tone and standard in politics.
Instead of helping Mr.. Tilden 10 elect
his motley crowd of secondhand repub-
,icaps and callow democrats, we imagine
that the majority of the voters of this
State will prefer to throw their influence
on the side of the men Of consistent record
and weIlapproved experience in public
affairs who compose the State ticket
of the republican party. The latter-day
reforms of the democracy have been
forced on them by the pressure of political
necessity; the mass of the republican
party has always been true to convlc-
ton in politics. Whether the democrats
have selected republicans likely to give
the people fresh confidence in their pre-
tensions in favor of reform is point
which may be reserved for after consider
alton. That the natural leaders of the re-
form campaign remain within the ranks
of the republican party hardly admits OF
any doubt.-Ne,o York Times.
