The Hon. a. w. Venable, on whose brow

worse to-day. As be verges more and more
on the brink Of the grave the brightness Of

days on earth are well nigh terminated, and
with. confident faith in the merits of his Re.

to bdadien TO thethiDgs OF time and !senss

been q jealous Presbyterian, his views to-

HAND IN HAND.-The receipt of tele.
graphic dispatch announcing the reception
in Richmond, Va, of ex.Tax Commissioner
James Hand created no little excitement and
comment in Paterson, N. j., yesterday.
Hand was under conviction for conspiring
to defraud the city and malfeasance in office,
and was to appear for sentence the day fol-
lowing the one upon which he disappeared,
about fortnight ago. He was under about
$4,000 bail, and some Of his bondsmen got
photographs printed and sent postal cards
with the picture and an offer of $500 reward
to the principal cities throughout the coun'
try. 1t was by means Of these that he was
arrested in Richmond, Va. Yesterday the
proper measures were taken to have him re.
turned to Paterson on reQuisition. Hand
has for some years been one OF the most
prominent young Democratic politicians of
Paterson. There is no doubt that he will
be sentenced now to the State prison. 1t
was generally believed that he had LETT the
country, and bis remaining SO near home as
Richmond is inexplicable.-Ne York Her.

ference with . wow of securing the

The circular assumes that tho pop

struggling inside OF existing poIit-

strong outside Of them." Now, in

lar are AL Republicans, it is plain

kance about the time when Credi,
Mebiliera, Sanborn contracts, navy
and army swindlcs, and carpet-bag
tyranny and other inquiries of the
Republican family of frauds were
in full blast and not at q time when
the Democratic party has been
| placed In the ascendency by the
people and is keeping its trust with
them in uneartning and bringing to
light and furnishing those and kin
dred frauds and those interested in,
and parties thereto. The truth
of the matter is, the Democratic
party is responsible for none OF
these frauds. 1t is only responsible
for exposing and Furnishing them.
In tho going down of the Republ'
can party, with its weight Of fraud
and corruption, it should not be suf-
fered to pull down with it its oppo-
nent and only accuser. 1t was to
rebuke this corrupt party that the
people have put the Democrats in
possession of the Lower House of
Congress and they do not propose
by any new departure to sweep
them into the pit of condemnation
with their guilty opponents. There
is no need Of organizing q now par.
