SHOULD WOMEN yOTEe

Why should not the women vote ? asks
Danbury Bailey. They are far more prac-
tical than are the men, and practicability
is what we need in politics if we need it
anywhere. Mr.. Marshall's experience is
illustrative of this phase of the female
character. Mr.. MarshalPs regiment held
its reunion in Danbury, on Monday. The
day opened with a clear sky and bright
sun. Mr.. Marshall was highly elated.-
After breakfast he made ready to go down
to meet the boys as they came in on the
train. He got out on the stoop, and TAX

THE OCTOBER STATES.

election day OF the three October states,
West Virg mia, Ohio and Indiana. They
hold their elections on October 10. Ohio

1873, when Allen was chosen Governor

governor is democrat, elected on the
"tidal wave of 1874" West Virginia
went for Lincoln and for Grant. both in
1868 and in 1872. These three States
have, therefore been called repub can,
and it is absolutely necessary for the ad-
ministrat,on to carry all three in order TO
win fairly. Should the democrats carry
any one OF the three, the success of the
Repub can party would be rendered inn
probable. Should the Democrats carry
all three, the defeat Of the administra-
tion would be overwhelming beyond all

Republ can party would be compelled to
reorgar re under new leaders, and with
a purer and more definite policy.
All eyes are, therefore, turned toward
these States. The battlefield is Indiana
and Ohio. West Virginia is now decide
ly democratic. There are large demo =
cratic majorities in both branches of the
state legir' r'ature, and democratic re-
presentation in Congress. The chan'el

state legislature is democratic by con-

Representatives, al of whom, however,
with one important excepticn-Blue
Jeaus Williams--were elected by small
msjorities. Indiana cannot. therefore,
be claimed as a streng democratic state.
But it enters the present campa IN with
every assurance of sweeping demo-
cratic victory-the Boys in Blue to the

cratic nominee, Old Blue Jeans Williams,
is one of the most populr" men in the

A DEMOCRATIC coLoRED MAN

The statement of General NEwTo N
furnished to one of our reporters last
evening, shows that he has no sort OF
fear of any disastrous effects from the
coming explosion at Hallett's Point,
save to the submarine rocks which
have so long been pest to pilots and
q cause of great aniexty to ship mas
ters. If any anticipations of an arti-
fetal earthquake have been entertain
ed by the public, they should now be
banished ,.Iand instead OF stampeding
from the city, sensible people who can
afford it, ought to be competing for
good positions from which to watch
the grand explosion. AS for the rest
of us, the best thing we can do will be
to go on quietly about our daily bust
ness and leave General Newton to
complete the work he has SO well ma I
aged thus far. The only real cause for
aniexty is whether the blast will do its
legimate work thoroughly or not. If
it should be found that the danger of
creating too much leakage during the
operations has resulted in the roof not
being drilled as deeply as it ought to
have been. the rock may not be
thoroughly broken up, in which case
much extra time and cost will be re-
quired for the work of removing the
debris.-N. Y. World.

she kept me running for the best part of

INDIAN SUMMER.

This halcyon peroid of our autumn will
always in some way be associated with
the Indian. 1t is red and yellow and
dusky like him. The smoke of his camp
fire seems again in the air. The memory
of him pervades the woods. His plumes
and moccasins and blankets of skins form
just the custom the season demands. 1t
was doubtless his chosen peroid. The gods
smiled upon him then if ever. The time
of the chase, the season of the buck and
the doe, and the ripening Of all forest
fruits; the time when all men are incipi-
ent hunters, when the first frosts have
given pungency to the air, when to be
abroad on the hills or in the woods is Il
delight that both old and young feel,-if
the red aborigne ever had his summer of
fullness and contentment, it must have
been at this season, and it fitly bears his
name.-John Burroughs; iScribner for

The Necessity of a Change.
From the Journal of Commerce.

The Democratic candidate for Gov

question in his Albany speech: "ls it

tory of this country that any party COR
rupted by the long possession of
power, ever reformed itself and correc :,
ted its own abuses? 1t has never been

from this time on to the election.

Mr.. Robinson safely appeals to its re-
cords in the United States-and he
might have added England-for a
single instance of the voluntary purifi'
cation of itself by party stepped in
corruption and abuses. No such mir.
acle has ever occurred, nor will it ever
happen. 1t would be contrary to what
we know of human nature and the
laws of party organizations. The
longer a party remains in power the
more hopeless are the efforts of its best
men to reform it. Every years adds to
the bad precedents that must be fol.
lowed. These cannot be repudiated
without self condemnation. Every
year intrenches the position of the
office holders, who have elected and
sustained the Administration, and
upon whom it depends for support.
These men cannot be turned out of
office without breaking up the party
for they are the party, or the life and
soul of it. Only by revolution of the
executive power can any but superb
cial reforms be achieved. This is well

Cor. Tiiden's Imc0nse Tar.

The statement which we publish
this morning from Judge Sinnot, with
the letter from Mr.. Hewitt completely
explodes the absurd calumny which
has been set on footagainst Mr.. TildeH
In reference to his income tax in the
year 1852. The allegation has been made
by the Neso York Times that whereas
Mr.. Tilden had in that year an income
derived from various specified sources
of $1O6, 600, he only returned o., ,11S as
his true income; and thereupon tho
Times accused him of fraud IN conceal
ing the real amount. and Of perjury in
swearing that his return was true.
These broad and sweeping charges
were made by the Times without any
other evidence than its own supposition
that Mr.. Tilden's Income was large in
that year; and now Judge Sincott, who
at that time was Mr.. TIlden's confiden
tial law clerk, and quite as familiar
with his bushes as Mr.. Tilden himself
comes forward to contradict this state
ment fatty and fully. Taking up the
different items stated by the Times
amounting in the aggregate to $108,-
600, Judge Slnnott shows that most
of them are entirely destitute of truth;
that Mr.. :'Tilden was not' employed
in that year by the corporations alleged
by the Times, and received nothing
whatever from them; that out of thir-
teen different items nine were purely
fictitious; that one item of $25, 900 was
true only to the extent Of 81 900; and
that the other two items of $4,000
each were true, but that the money
was mostly earned in years before the
income tax was imposed, and, accord
ingly, was not subject to taxation and
finally he reaffirms that after deduct-
ing interest and losses which accured
during that year, Mr.. Tflden's whole
net income was 81 ,118' and no more.
