Vernieri learned that she had been left
in an asylum for lunatics.
After her discovery, Miss Vernieri
asked Madame Flourens, the lady su-
perintendent, how she could have con-
sented to become an instrument in such
a base conspiracy. The lady smiled
sadly. 'Figlia mia! were to believe
all those who say they have been
brought here as the victims of q con-
spiracy, should have few patients on
my hands!" "But," demonstrated
Miss Vernieri, "what legal proof have
You that l am a fit subject for an
asylum" The doctor who came here
with you," replied Madame Flourens,
"applied to me for the admission of a
patient. told him he must first have
a certificate Of the patients madness,
signed by the director of the establish
inent, who is the first alienist in Naples,
DIR. Miraglia." "Ah," broke in Miss
Vernieri, to whom this name was Il
revelation, "the perfidious plotters.
That cousin of his, whom DIR. Cosimati
presented to me, was DIR. Miraglia,
then! But how could the doctor certify
my lunacy? talk nationally enough.
OH the monstersi" =" aiqltd MIA
behold my Justihcation," and Madame
rlourens produced the certlhcate OF the
aiienist, Or. Miragha, the director OF
the asylum.
Ihereupon Miss Vernieri addressed
herself to the task OF devising her ex-
trication from the Flourens Asylum.
Vigilantly watched, she vet succeeded
in gettnga letter conveyed to her lover,
and he went straight to work to rescue
her anu BRING ner prosecutors to Justice.
lie got the Procuratore Of the King to
send forthwith to the asylum an in
structlng Judge (gtud'ce tnsisrsttore) and
notary. These gentlemen obtained
immediate access to the young lady,
and examined her with the most PAINS
taking minuteness, putting questions of
every kind, laying traps for her, and
taking down her answers. She came
out OF the ordeal trlumphantiy, and the
result was the immediate order from
the frocuratore del he for her release,
and criminal proceedings were at once
taken against DR.. Cosimati, the widow
Vernierl, and Or. Mlraglla. No sooner
set at liberty, than Miss Vernieri fed to
the aunt at whose house she had met
her nance. Their marriage took place
Immediately.
Meanwhile the eonspirators, whose
object 1t had been to prevent the mar
rage, and to invalidate Miss Vernieri's
right to the control OF her own fortune,
by making her out mad, were put upon
their trial at Salerno. They had al
ready taken legal steps to complete
their nefarloss design, when the young
lady's release upset every thing, and
turned them from appellants into de-

JUDICIAL CoNvENTIoN.-From the best infor-
nation we have been able to obtain, the delega-
tion to the Judicial Convention, to be held at
Hiawatha, on Wednesday of this week, stands
as follows: DOuiphsn County, anti-Hubbard ;
Atchison County, anti-Hubbard, Hubbard ;
Brown County, 4 Hubbard Nemaha County, 2
anti-Hubbard, ? Hubbard-making a total of Is
anti-Hubbard, Hubbard. In Hubbard's own
District, when he found himself beaten, he and
his supes bOlted, and elected delegation of
their own. Leaving out this District on prelim-
mary organization, it gives the nti-Hubbard
forces ii delegates, to Hubbard's g. This will
insure the admission Of the 2 anti Hubbard del
gates from the contested District, as they have
all the right on their side. We understand that
Hubbard claims majority without the contest
ed District, but he can get it only by buying
delegates to violate the wishes of the people of
their Districts. We may not be able to have the
result in time for this issue; but unless Hubbard
and his strikers succeed in some of their boasted
cunning and dark tricks, Mr.. Hubbard's goose is
cooked. But it is never safe to bet on white
man until you have him beyond the wiggling-
out place.

r. The Manhattan Nationalist and several
other papers have assumed to assert that John
NJ. Price is travelling over the State rallying the
Odd Fellows to bis support for the Governorship.
Have those papers any warrant for such an asser-
ton, or do they make it for want of some
thing else to says John NJ. Price is Grand Mas
ter of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows Of Kan
sas, and it is his duty to visit as many as possi-
BILE of the Lodges in the State, in that capacity
But if he talks politics to them, or, under cover
of his Office, attempts to enlist them in his behalf
for political position, he grossly violates the
laws of the Orier, and renders himself liable to
its penalties. But we venture to say that John
NJ. Price has not done any such thing and we
venture to say further, that three Odd Fellows
in Kansas will not support John NJ. Price, where
one does support him. There is no occasion fol
this insult of an honorable Order, and dragging
il into the mud of politics.

n Hon. Godlove S. Orth has withdrawn from
the race for Governor of Indiana. He does this
from the fact that charges have been brought
against him, which, although he feels confident
that he can disprove, are nevertheless depriving
him of the hearty support of many Republicans,
thereby endangering the success of the party.
The Democrats are making big noise over this,
as an evidence of Republican corruption, forget
ting that in the same State, they have been CON-
PEELED to take down their entire list of candi-
dates for Supreme Judges, because of gross cor
ruptions in Office, which corruptieas have been
fully established.

Irnheeilitx Triumphs.

At a late hour Wednesday might, We learn
that Hubbard was re- nominated for Judge, after
long wrangle, the particulars of which we
have not received. The result does not surprise
US, knowing the weak timber selected for some
Of the delegates opposed to him, and the Atchi-
son local influence and coErnPt appliances that
would be used in his behalf.
Now let the members of the bar, opposed to
Hubbard, meet and select man, regardless of
his politics, whom they know TO be competent
and honest, and he will be elected by rousing
majority. Doniphan County will give not less
than 500 majority for such man over Hub
bard.
We had hoped that we were nearly done with
the Judicial fight. But it must go on without
ceasing until the election. The charges We have
published against Hubbard were true. Such
being the fact, his nomination by the Republican
party binds no one to his support. If this is the
way the Republican party means to purify itself,
let the people repudiate such unfit men that are
sought to be imposed upon them. We believe
they will do it. The Chief is enlisted for three
years, or daring the war.
At later hour We learn that Hubbard obtain
ed majority by buying two delegates and by
their aid forcing in two bogus delegates from
Atchison, instead of the legally elected delegates,
without even allowing the latter hearing. The
opponents of Hubbard then withdrew, and nom
mated David Martin.
John L. Blair, of this County, as Chairman of
the Judicial District Committee, was the tool OF
the Hubbardtes, who ruled in their favor, in all
their frauds. Henceforth let him be known as
Dirty Work Blair.
David Martin will get 1900 majority in Doni-
phan County, and not less than 500 in Atchison
County. Nenaha aud Brown can grunt and
sweat as they choose.
