and you would il You cared for mo !;

Then she waited for moment,
but Western said nothing and she
added. "Good-night," and went into
the house, closing the door after
her.
Sam was really in the wrong, anu
she had shown no angry temper.
II he loved her, he surely would
apologize soon; and a woman
should not lower her dignity" sho
said, as she went to bed in her little
upstairs room but for all that her
pillow was wet with toars before she
slumbered.
Sam mean Thilc walked away.
Ilo had been engaged to Phoebe
Spinner three months, AMI ho did
love her dearly; but his blood was

He would have broken with her

and decided that everything was

Sam Western was nobody in par,

Phoebe Spinner was even less, but
"Ah, tho difference" TO them, now

said Phoebe, binding mp her hair,
"And I will mover treat woman

Sam, struggling with his stubborn

Then he waited for word or

sure, would give in at last, but who
never dreamt OF it.

POLITICAL NEWS.

The New York Methodist wan $
President Grant to explain to this
Christian nation why he has pardoned
seven gaugers convicted by jnries Of
using their official powers to aid in
defrauding the revenue of the United
States. The least preiudiced, it says.
involuntarily think of the charge that
campaign funds came in 1872 from the
whisky ring, and now ask hard guess
tons.
Congressman Leavenworth, of New
York, is of the opinion that a single
NJ ssachnsetts member of Congress has
influenced legislation for fifteen years
past more than New York's entire
thir'y-three Reason, too much rota-
ton in office. Massachusetts keeps
sending her members back again.
The New York Methodist SAYS ::
Gov. Tilden was electedzto his present
Office by $4,000 majority over Gov.
John A. Dix, decisive test of personal
popularity. After Mr.. Bristow, he is
the only man in high place who has
risked anything in fight against COR
ruptionists.
The Cleveland % J Plaindealer says
"Cleyeand, Drown & Co., Of this city,
who are republicans have had business
relations WITH Gov Tilden extending
through a period of nearly ten years,
and declare they have found him the
impersonation of commercial rectitude
aud honor.

WHAT Gov. HENDR1cKs SAYs.-A
Saratoga letter says Gov Hendricks,
who is now stopping there, speaks not
simply hopeful, but very confidently, Of
the success of the national democratic
ticket in November. He thinks Gov
Tilden is 10000 stronger in New York
for President than he was for Governor
He has no fears of the result in Indiana,
believing that Williams, the democratic
candidate Tor Governor, will lead off
with the State in October, thus paving
the way for Tilden and himself in
November. Williams is plain, solid,
substantial man, not brilliant, but reliable
and honest. He is tall and lean and
5lank, and is to the democracy of Indiana
what Lincoln was to the republicans of
Illinois. He IS Granger, and will
receive considerable strength from the
agricultural interests of his State, and
Gov. Hendricks thinks there is no
doubt of his election. He is also hopes
full OF democratic victory in Ohio.

The Sunday Herald says: "On
Thursday, in the House of Represents
tives, the Hon. John t. Harris, of Viz
gina, made an eloquent and forcible
speech in defence of the peace, quiet,
and good order enjoyed in the South,
and answered in mastery manner
the accusations made in Northern
papers against the South. He conten-
aea.shas- tbs, South ysas.--saill .theesensy
OF the Northern States, which did not
behold the troubles and disorders
which, from time to time, prevailed in
the most thiekly-settled portions of
advanced civilization, but must feed its
hatred on gossip about every little dis
turbance which occurred south of the
Potomac. The speech had a good
effect, and was attentively listened to
throughout. It should be largely prin-
ted and circulated by the Democratic
committees throughout the North,
East and West as a campaign doeu-
ment, that the people may know the
truth, and not rely upon the shame-
fully false misrepresentation of the
Southern people, who are to-day as
quiet orderly, and as loyal to the
Government as those of any other Sec
ton

"WHos afraid to stay in Chicago
and fight the Sioux Indians? What a
feeling Of protection the fact that Gen
Sheridan is in command Of the forces
fighting the Indians affords to the
frontier settlers! If the fight should
become very lively it would be prudent
to move the headquarters of the CONS
handing General nearer to Washington.
1t is very important that he should be
at sufficient distance to take a view Of
the entire field. A nearer approach to
the scene of action would limit the
sweep of ---irnaginary-feld glasses.
and he would not be able to look so
calmly upon the operations of the
enemy. Nothing conduces NOR e to
the success of an army, than the cool
ness of the commanding general even
If that GOODNESS is preserved by being
removed hundreds of miles from Che
scene of operations.

Just now, though, we would like to
know what John Traster, 'staunch
Union man from Pennsylvania, was
doing temporarily in the rebel lines,
when Gen Custer was flying around
Front Royal 3 UrJana Citizen ard
Gazette.
Just what a great many Union men
who had moved to the South short
time before the war were doing-try;ng
to make an honest living for his family
1t was at their discretion to remain at
their homes with their families or move
North. Many went back, while a
number remained and are still here. If
you wish to learn the record of Gen
Custer come to Virginia and you can
find sufficient evidence from Hayes and
Wheeler men to convince you that he
on many occasions disgraced both
himself and the flag under which he
was fighting.

Presiding Cheers .. Congressional conven-
tons. Il.

A correspondent from Shenandoah
writes to ask whether the athree mem
bers of the State Committee in each
Congressional district should not al
ways designate one Of their number
who should act as their chairman, and
whether such chairman should not al
ways cali the Congressional Conven
tions to order and preside as temporary
chaiDaaa!9" We can only give our
views upon the subject, but they are
very decided. We think the rule
adopted by the three district members
in many of the districts, selecting one
of the three to act as chairman, is q
good one, and as the time aud place of
the assemblaee of the District Conven~
ton is designated by this committee,
the chairman of the committee, if press
emf, should, at the hour named, cali the
Convention to order, but there his
power clearly ceases, and none but the
Convention itself, which IS sovereign
for bill the purposes for which it was
assembled, can invest him with further
authority. For the State Committee
to undertake to say that one of their
number shall be the temporary preside
ing officer of the Congressional Con-
ventions would clearly be usarpation
of authority that the districts would not
submit to. 1t by no means follows
that the members of the State CONS
mittee will be sent as delegates to the
Conventions, and it would he rather an
anomaly to see a Convention presided
over by one who was not member of
it. The same rule holds good in rela-
ton to County Conventions The
county chairman, by virlue of his off e
sails the Convention to order sins
| ply, and then tie Convention is free to
select its own chairman and to perfect
its own organization. - Richmond
