the boys, opposition to the order
of the Pope was useless, and the
father hastened to the gate where
he had left the carriage. Mean
time the aunt had heard of the
rescue, and followed the girl from
the convent; she implored her by
tears and prayers, to reserve her
decision. The Doctor cut short
the scene by showing his sons in
to the carriage and rapidly driving
away. Nor did he trust them
long in Rome.
The subsequent career Of the
boys is not dwelt on with pleas
ure. One Of them enlisted in the
Turkish army, married a Turkish
wife, and, after some years, des-
erted her and ran away to Eng
land. His wife was taken into a
Pasha's family. who offered to
adopt her only child, a boy Of 4
years; but the mother preferred
to bring him to his grandfather.
None of the family had seen her,
but she established her identity,
and begged that her child might
be adopted by good man, which
he knew his grandfather to be,
and receive a Christian training.
The Doctor. therefore. adopted
the gYandchild, which had come
to him in such a strange way, and
the mother shortly after died.
The daughter, whose acquired
accomplishments matched her in
herited beauty, married, in time,
a Venetian Count of wealth; and
the idler in Venice may see on
the Grand Canal, among those
moldy edifces that could reveal
SO many romances, their sumptu-
ous palace, and learn, if he cares
to learn, that tits the home of a
family happy in the enjoyment
of the most ielicitous fortune. In
the gossip with which the best
Italian society sometimes amuses
itself. he might hear that the
Countess wss the daughter of
slave of the Sultan's harem. ]
have given, however, the true
version of the romantic story; but
| am ignorant Of the social condi-
ton, or the race of the mother OF
the heroine of so many adven
lures. She may have been born
in the Caucasus.

The Louisville Commercial
says: The Democrats are boil
stering up their hopes by forging
the names ofprominent Republi-
cans to bogus reports.
First-They used the name of
Senator Conover of Florida, to a
telegram conceding that State to
Tilden. That was falsehood.
Second-A dispatch was sent to
the Cincinnati Gazette from
Washington with the names of
General Boynton signed, making
a concession of the Reformers.
That was false hood.
Third-The name of Governor
Irwin, Of California, was placed aG
the bottom Of a document, re
garding the vote Of that State,
which he had never seen. That
was falsehood No. 3.
Fourth--Mr. Waterson stated
that Secretary Chandler had tele.
graphed Governor Kellogg that
Louisiana must be carried for
Hayes. That was falsehood No. A.
Fifth-The New Orleans Plea.
yune stated that Governor Kel-
logg had telegraphed a letter to
the Governors of South Carolina
and Florida to the effect that he
would carry Louisiana for Hayes
if they would see that their States
gave their electoral votes for the
Republican candidates. That was
faliehood No. s, and many pre-
cincts yet TO hear from.

About Exemptions.

The Supreme?court Of Tennes.
see now in session at jackson,
has rendered the following desis
ion:
When a citizen of Tennessee,
the head Of a family, makes ar
rangements to leave the State, by
renting a house in another State,
and putting his property on board
Of railroad cars with the purpose
ofsending to the place to which
he proposes moving, the exempt
ed property is not liablesto seiz-
ure. A mere fixed purpose to
change his domicil, in such case,
does not deprive him of citizen
ship or the rights of citizenship.
He is not deprived of these rights
until actual removal from the
State.

be. a postmaster and an elector al
the same time, but he is not an
elector until he is officially mott
fed that he has been chosen by
the people. He is not an electol
until lie can constitionally act as
such. His theory viii be seen at
once to be reasonable.
The small majority in South
Carolina does not seem reasona-
bic to the Republicans, and it is
feared that the Democrats will
attempt to secure the electoral
vote of Florida by legal ehicanery
similar to that practiced in the
former State. The President says
he does not desire Hayes cleo
ton enough to countenance fraud,
but he will see that Mr.. Tilden
does not go into the White House
on anything but a fair count.
Officers of the House Of Repre-
sentatives now in the city have
been figuring on the Congress
ional returns, and they report
that according to the re-
turns received up to to-day there
are 142 Republicans and IA Dem
Gratis. Three districts in New
Hampshire are yet to elect, and
two Republicans and one Demo
crat are expected. -Four districts
are now in doubt-one in Louisi
ana, one in Missouri, and two in
South Carolina. Estimating that
these doubtful States are divided
equally between the two parties,
the House will stand: Republi-
cans, 146; Democrats, 147. Among
the Democrats is Alexander II.
Stephens, who is not expected to
be able to take his seat. This will
leave the House tie in his alb
Spncp.

From WASHINGTON.
Grant Ready for anylEmergen-
Cy.
Congress S.ikeEy a Tie!

A special to the Chicago Inter
Ocean of a late date says:
From some remarks dropped
by the President within the past
few days it is understood that his
message will deal vigorously with
the election complications, and
that his tone'willss be similar to
that of his order to General Sher-
man. No man was ever more in
earnest than he is on this subject,
and in case trouble ARISES he
will be prepared to meet it at its
inception. Several companies OF
soldiers have been ordered to the
posts in and around Washinton,
and arms willsbe ready at the
Washinton Arsenal, so we will
not have a repetition Of the Buch
anan flasco IN 1850.
The Attorney General does not
see why there should be any dis
cussion or anxiety as to the quail
fications of electors who have
held government positions. He
holds that no elector can be dis
qualified before he is officially in
formed of his election, and that
whoever of the electoral college
may have or may be holding a po
sition of honor, trust, or profit un-
der the government may resign
that position BEFORE the time
when he is officially notified of
his election to the electoral col
lege. 1t is a matter Of frequent
occurrance that officers holding
one position under the govern
ment are elected or appointed to
another before resigning the first
For instance, Colonel Bangs was
appointed sub Treasurer at Chi
cago while he was Superintendent
of the railway postal service. 1T
would have been absurd for any
one to have held that Colonel
Bangs was disqualified for the
treasurership because he was an
officer of the Postoflice Depart
ment. Judge Taft was Secretary
of War when appointed Attorney
General. lie was disqualified for
the latter position as long as he
held the former, but he removed
the disqualification before he was
officially notified of the appoint
ment TO the Department of JUS
tice. A man cannot be a post
master atthe same time, buA,,,hUe e

Notice..

There will be an adjourned meet
ing of the members of Lake County
Agricultural Society, in Baldwin,
on Tuesday, April 18th, 1876, when
it is hoped that some definite action
may be taken looking to the secur-
ing and fitting up4of tract for a
Fair Ground. 1t is hoped and
urged that citizens Of our county
generally will take interest in this
important enterprise, come out to
the meeting, and place their names

LAST Monday evening, after the
polls had been closed in Pleasant
Plains township, and the vote de-
clared, contingent orders(?) were
issued to the amount of S110, in
favor of the following named per-
sons: J. North, $32; VIM. Wood,
90; C.. NJ. C. Ross, 20; FL. Allen,
10; A. II. Allen, IA; J. b. Taylor,
6; Jas. McWane, 2; E. Campbell, 6.
This action was taken prior to the
turning of the Office of clerk over
into the hands of Jones. There is
a mystery about the matter, from
the fact that w. A. Burnam, the
only Justice residing in the village,
authorized to act, denies all knowl-
edge of the affair. If there was no
legal quorum present, We are una
bic to see how the orders are valid,
and the treasurer should be careful
about paying them. What next?

ers for the township of Pleasant

string first grade certificates will be

es, including History and Algebra,
and must answer ninety per cent.
of all questions. Those desiring
I'd grade certificates, will be exam
ined in the same branches and must
answer eighty per cent. Those de-
string 3D. grade certificates, will be
examined in the same brances, ex-
cept History and Algebra, and
must answer sixty per cent.

SEVEN out of the thirteen candi-
dates nominated at the Republican
caucus for this township were elect
ed. The withdrawal of X. Ii. Hol-
lister, Republican nominee for clerk,
and the support Of George N. Jones,
Democratic nominee for the same
office, secured the election of that
gentleman. Mr.. Jones becomes a
member of the town board at once,
and after the first of July, L. j.
jerks will be added. With this
change in the board, it is hoped
that better state of affairs for the
township will commence.

On Tuesday next, the adjourned
session Of the members of Lake
County Agricultural Society will
be held. The object of the Asso-
citation is to secure and fit up, the
coming season, grounds suitable for
use in holding the annual Fairs.
The officers of the Society are will
ing to do all in their power to adj
vance this important and worthy
enterprise, but they must have the
assistance Of the people generally
throughout the county, in order to
make the matter success. The
Fair last Fall was a practical bene-
fit, and gave unmistakable indica-
tons of what good results may be
accomplished by united and earnest
effort. If such a creditabIe show
ing could be made from such sea-
son rs VIC had last year, what might
not be douc in q favorable season ?

THE records show that S49S.5O
have been paid out of contingent
fund, for work on highways, as fol-
lows:

And yet, Ross was defeated for
reelection as clerk, and North went
in as treasurer by small majority.
In the meanwhile there isn't a dol
lar of school money, and a bad state
of affairs exists generally. These
are unpleasant facts; but the citi-
zens of Pleasant Plains township
have to look them in the face.
