SAMUEL j. TILDON.
Honest Republican Opinion About
Him.

Hin.
From the New York Times, August, ISL
There were few indignant protests
against the scheme (Tweed's charter for
New \ ork city, uttered by such high
toned Democrats as Samuel j. Tilden
and others of his character, but they were
without effect, for Tweed and Sweeney
had the voters already bought up.
From the New York Times, October, 1871.
Ii anything can arouse the New York
public to that pitch of indignation
which alone becomes them in the present
crisis, it is the accounts which we pub.
lish today. Here We have thanks to the
Iabors of samuel J. Tilden, full and con-
elusive evidence that William NJ. Tweed
differs only from common thief in hav-
ing stolen tens of thousands instead of tens
of dollars. We FER 10 the atfi
divit of MrT.i!den for detailed account
OF how the disposal of the money was
traced.
From the New York Times, Nov. 26. 1871.
The voters of the Eighteenth Assem-
bly, District ought to esteem it an honor
and privilege to elect Samuel j. Tllden
to the legislature. He has shown him.
self a gallant, conscientious, efficient foe
to corruption. We appeal to every Re
publican to vote and work for him, and
to do so the more cheerfully-as wa
make this appeal-tecause he is al Lon 8.
Democrat.
From the New York Times, July, 1871.
Let us then leave Mr.. Tilton LITTLE
while and turn TO gentleman OF aDothe:
kind-Mr. Tilden. The reason we wis b
to draw the attention of our readers to
him is, that he is being mentioned pretty
generally, as the Democratic candidate
for Governor this fall. Mr.. Tilden has no.,
indeed, mentioned his own name, b. cause
be has been long time in politics, and
he Is well aware that a man may speak
too soon, as well as too late. This we
will say: that Mr.. Tilden would make
very good candidate, for he is gentle
mar, an able man, and man Of very
high character.
MIR. Tiden is not much liked by the less
reputable portion of the Democratic
party, and perhaps there are men even
in Tammany Hall who do not exactly
love him. He is at any
rate Democrat of long standing in the
party; man of unsullied honor, public
and private; a good, public spirited man,
who would be no discredit but much the
reverse, to our State. This we may say
with sincerity. Nevertheless if Mr.. Til
den were to ask us as his old friends and
advisers, whether he should stand for
Governor if he were invited to do so. we
should feel ii our duty to dissusde him
from that course Weshould like much
to see him happy, but would it render
HIN so, to undergo signal defeat? If
the Republicans nominate Gen. Dix, MIR.
Tildeu would not run successfully against
him. Incidentally he would do his party
a great deal OF good, for be would I'm
prove its moral tone.

why women Cannot BIO TrsGeiers.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


That women fail to make themselves
independent in TRAVELLING, even when they
have every opportunity to do 30, plainly
evlnced in almost every case that comes
under observation. They are easily in
duced to form acquaintance, to place
confidence in strangers, and to become
free in their conversation, especially
with those of their own sex. Most par
ticularly was this exempli6ed in the re-.
cent case of d Buffalo lady now said to
be dying in ewYork, who believes her
self TO have been the victim of poison
admin istered to her by chance travel
ing acquaintance. She, it seems. is a
woman of means, and her object in com
ing to New York-to seek q divorce
from her husband coupled with the
fact that she was under no necessity to
seek aid OF any sort, should have preven-
ted her from putting her faith in stran-
gers. But she not only told her domes'
tic troubles to an adventures who was
on the cars, but accepted her choice OF
boarding place, and went there on her
recommendation. Shortly after reaching
New York she was taken i'll, and during
her illness she was visited by her chance
railroad acquaintance, and nursed by her
until there was no longer doubt in the
mind of the sick woman that she was be-
ing robbed. Then she telegraphed for
her brother to come to her, and on reach
ing New York he had the woman, Mrs.
briggs, arrested on a double charge OF
poisoning and larceny. The doctors dis.
agree as to the poisoning, but there was
no doubt as to the robbery, for case OF
iewelry valued at 5000 and diamond
ring which had been pawned for $40
were both found in the possession OF the
woman and her stepson-a confederate.
The lady, Mrs. Amelia La Rue, Is likely
to die, and should she, post morton ex-
animation will reveal the truth of the
charge, or its falsity, which she brings
against her railroad acquaintance and
nurse Mrs. La Rue is likely to pay dear
for her trip to New York, even if it does
not cost her her life, for the experience
must be of kind to prove always morti-
fying. Why ladies who feel themselves
equal TO the task of travelling to large
city for the purpose of getting divorce
from their husbands, or for any other rea-
sons, take it upon themselves to make so.
cial acquaintance on the cars is, or would
be, singular were it not so generally the
custom. Women should learn lesson
from this poor womsn's experience, and
learn to believe, if they possibly can, that
the kisses OF a stranger are deceitful, and
that the friend easily made is dangerous.
Let them forego travelling alone if they
cannot travel Independently, and let them
be convinced by the mistakes of their sis
ter women that seeking friendships
among strange women Is very little bet
ter than travelling to strange places to get
divorces, and truly the woman that must
needs do either is to be sincerely pitied
and sorrowed over.

TIE PARTY OF HAYES AND
GRANT.
An ELOQUENT Arrangement.


Col. Mcclure, lnthe Philadelphia Times
draws this picture of Hayes and his
party:
HAYES was in Congress four years and
mas silent. No abuses called him to ut
terance; no wrongs made him lisp reform
no effort of his life has made him ter
ror to evil.deers. He is the candidate
of the men who speak and act for the
party to-day. He was created by Grant
and Morton, and Conkllng and Cameron,
and has in them partisians who outstrip
even Schurz in their zeal Tor his success.
Behind them are Babcock AMI Shepherd,
and Kellogg and Pinchbsck, and Patter-
son and Mcdonald, men in prison stripes
and men who fear about prison stripes
IN the future, all trembling lest the re-
form candidate of Carl Schurz may fail
of an election. They have driven Bris.
tow from the treasury, with every faith
full officer who aided him; they have
made Pratt seek retirement because he
Was honest; they drove Jewell out to IL
lustrate HAYES civil service reform by
giving the postotfice patronage over TO
Morton TO carry Indiana for Hayes they
made Dyer bite the dust because he
sought to punish the gaiIty; henderson
WIS dismissed because he ventured to ap.
prosch the truth in the temple of JUS
;ice, and Wharton is deposed for fidelity
TO the law. These are not Grants acts;
they are acts Of the leading, controlling
friends of Mr. Hayes, the authoritative or
scles for him and his party. They have
sanctioned every presidential wrong, and
Hayes is dumb as the sheep before the
shesrer, as Morton ard Conkllng prostl-
tute the whole Grant civil power to Ad-
vance Hayes election, and Cameron is
breeding disorder and death in the South
TO make the ballot-boX declare bayonet
victories for Mr.. Hayes.

A GRACEFUL ACT.-A very graceful
act has lately been done BY Mr.. James
Russell Lowell. As will be remembered,
his Centennial ode concludes with an elo-
quent tribute to Virginia, another OF
States ana unpolluted mea." A Virginia
gentleman wrote 10 the poet, asked for .
transcript, Of these lines, TO be suspended
in the library Of the State. Mr.. Lowell
promptly replied, and not only transcri-
bed the concluding verses with his own
hand, but had them handsomely framed
and forwarded them, free of charge to the
State. Accompanying the gin was let.
ter, which. we are told, "evidenced the
same ahectionste and patriotic spirit
which breathes through every line Of the
verses 1t is further added BY the Rich
mond Enquirer, which furnishes the
above facts, that. 'not content with this
eift to the library, he promises 70 send .

Washington stood when he took COM

wood. Surely Virginia has soft place
in her heart Tor him whose thoughts are

BROOKE.
A SPLENDID TICKET SELECTED.
GOOD FOR 200 MAJORITY.
WELLsBURo, w. Va, Aug. 10, '76.

WELLsBURa, w. VA- Aug. l9, rs.
Editors OF the Register:
This has been the great field day of
the Democracy in Brooke. The election
for the nomination of county ticket
under the so-called popular vote system
come off to-day. There were between
$50 and 600 votes cast. If the same vote
is cast at the October election, the DEM
ocrats will havs between $50 and 200
majority for their ticket. 1t resulted in
the nomination of J. E. Curtis for sheriff,
as A. w. Campbell predicted it would
be Just luck to get the nomination. He
is one of those energetic, untiring men
who make their luck. He commenced
life at the bottom of the ladder, and has
been in business in Bethany for %
or 30 years, from which he has just re-
tired. He is most popular where best
known, and at the election to-day, he re-
ceived l2l out of 100 votes cast at
Bethany, from the people amongst whom
he has spent the most of his life. He will
make an efficient, competent and popu-
lar sheriff. and will give satisfaction TO
the whole people of the county.
VIM. II. Tarr received majority for
Senator from this district, and the choice
OF Brooke will no doubt be ratified
by Ohio and Hancock counties at the
Senatorial Convention to be held here
on September 9th. This ID the first
entrance of Mr.. Tarr in political
life. He is the son of Campbell Tarr,
ST., who represented the Democrats of
Brooke county in the legislature at
Richmond away back in the thlrties and
is cousin of Campbell Tarr, late Re-
publican Treasurer of w. Va, and is and
always has been true and unfinching
Democrat.
j. B. Somerville has majority for the
House OF Delegates. He is young man
of "a years of age, and this too Is his
first entrance in the field of politics. He
Is looked upon as young man OF much
promise. A Democrat by birthright,
self made and self educated by his own
exertions, has thus early in life come to the
front. He has been student of Bethany
College for three or four years and l
believe has not yet graduated, but as be
has earned the means thus far by his own
efforts he will be sure to get through all
in good time.
Eugene Tarr, brother of w. h. sue
ceeds in getting majority for prosecut-
ing Attorney, II. G. klmberland for
Assessor and Lewis Browning, the pres.
ent incumbent, 70: presiding justice of
this county.
This is strong and popular ticket
throughout, and one that will command
the respect and receive the support of
every true Democrat in Brooke. The
boys to-day erected Tilden and Hem
bricks pole. The campaign is fairly
opened and every Democrat is going to
work with his coat off for victory.

A Warming TO Girls who Want TO
Wear Pants.

Doctor Mary Walker was paradlng
the streets of Washington, the other day,
with the usual crowd OF boys struggling
after her and crying "See them pants.
"Oh, here's iun!' Feeling thirsty, the
doctor passed into house and asked
couple OF girls for driak of water. The
girls at iirst screamed, thinking that the
doctor was a man. The doctor treasured
them, and repeated her request for water.
The girls were then so overcome with
juggling that they could do nothing but
direct the doctor to the pump in the yard,
forgetting the presence of large New
Foundlsnd dog. Mary tripped out to The
pump and bent over to get drink. No
sooner did the dog spy the strange crea-
ture in the yard than he nabbed, after the
fashion of alltdogs at the angle OF the
bend. The fgure Strengthened up very
suddenly, aud there was some screaming
and struggling. A coed deal Of damage
was done to the pants, and the dog was
finally made TO relinquish his hold. 1t
is hoped that this will be terrible warn
ing 10 any giddy girl like the doctor who
may fancy that she would look well in
breeches. Post.

Responsibility for Grant.

Chicago Times.
Grant showed the sort of man he likes
by nominating Clapp for public printer,
and the Senate yesterday published the
measure of its own virtue by confirming.
CIapp, like Tatiey, was thief who &C
know edged his theft. He went before
a house committee and admitted that he
had stolen the money and materials en-
trusted him, and for this the house pre-
scented him to the Senate for dismissal and
punishment. The Senate of course saw
no disqualification in the mere fact of
theft, and they took no action. Every

the evidence was sent conceded unhesi-

and the Washington organs in psrticu-

Clapp should be vindicated, and vlndica

legislated him out of Office by cutting of
the appropriation for him under the old
title OF congressional printer, and the
President strsightway evades this by

him. Now for the opinion of the organs

A Mans Life Saved by Dream.

Fro II the WoonsOcket (R. ~ Patriot, Au-
gust II.
Early on Friday morning MIR. Hall, a
butcher, Of Franklin Mass went into his
ice chest to inspect the premises, when
the door accidentally swung back, operat-
ing the spring-lock, and the man was a
prisoner in very small room oticy tenn
perature, and without means OF escape.
A speedy;and irightul death stared him
in the face. He shouted, and thumped
upon what promised to be his coffin, but
ali in vain. Now comes the marvellous
part of the circumstances. When Mr..
Halls son arose on that morning he was
deeply impressed with dream which he
had during the previous night. lie
dreamed that bis father had been caught
and suftocated in the ice chest! Not lind
ing his father on inauiring for him, the
son at once proceeded to the Ice chest and
found 1t locked. On opening it the ap-
perertly dead body of his father was dis
covered and rescued. SO near death had
the unfortunate prisoner come that it was
hours before he came to state OF con-
sciousness, and is still in an enteebled
condition. To those yourselves among
the number) who have no faith in dreams
and visions, it may be difficult to account
for the connection between the sons
dream and the fathers accident.
