a SERIOUS cHARGE.

The Washington National Repub-
zican, in its issue of the 18th inst, pub
fishes long special dispatch from Sa-
lem, Oregon, charging that Grover Sc
cured his election as Senator by the
lavish use of money, furnished by two
Portland brokers, and that he agreed
to give Cronin certificate as Presi-
dental elector, in consideration that
Cronin and other frierds OF Nessnith
would agree not not to expose this
alleged bribery, as they had publicly
threatened Thus it will be seen that
Grover is not only to miss his seat il
the L. s. Senate, a position he has been
working and striving tor 10 these mauy
years, but he stands good chance t,
get position in the penitentiary fol
bribery!

DEMOCRACY BUSTED AGAIN.

Judge Bond, of the U. S. District
Court, South Carolina, has discharged
the board of State Canvasaers from
custody. In his decision he says the
nlandamus of the State Supreme Court
was served on them after they had ad-
journed that the State courts had no
jurisdiction whatever over the returning
board, the functions of the State can
vatsers being executive and involving
not merely ministerial, but discretionary
powers. Thus the busted Democracy
only meet rebufs at every turn!

NORTHERN FRE-EATERS DIS

ERN MEN.

ERN MEN.
From telegrams we are led to believe
that politics are redhot in Washington.
The Northern Democratic members ct
Congress are on the rampage this time,
while the Southern members are con-
servative, having gone SO far as TO meet
and consult over the adviSibility of
standing together and discountenanc-
ing the extreme measures advocated
by their Northern allies. The South
erncrs understand the clustering blow
hards of the North, and put their "chin
music" down for just what it is worth
-''invisib!es in time of danger!" The
scteme OF Northern Democrats to i'm
reach the President, it is said, was
squclched by just such men as Ben Hill,
who is reported to have said, "if the
people of this country wont settle the
Presidential question without violence
they ought to be governed by heredi
tary monarchy, and if CongressmeH
cannot settle the question, they ought
TO go home and let their constituents

GROTER UNITERS4LLY CON-
DEEMED.

The people of Oregon universally
condemn Grover in his late infamy, and
he has been burned in effigy in many Of
the large, and in some of the smaller
towns. The Democrats of the East,
too, are bitter in their curses, condemn
ing him as an old granny that has spoiIt
everything by his absolute want of
sense. Poor Grover! Thus it is that
even the willest rascals eventually reach

AFTER TIE LITTLE.

aE L lie O11L 4 A<A>'
After the noise and roar and lcOnfu-
sion Of the battle is over, and thesmoke
gradually disappears, the truth OF our
assertions, maintained from the first,
that Haves and Wheeler are elected
President and Vice President, become
palmer and more distinct, not only to
Republicans but to honest and conscl-
entious Democrats everywhere.
And thcir election was fairly and
squarely achieved, too, in the face OF
the most gigantic frauds and inLimlda-
tions ever perpetrated in this country.
The proof that these frauds and intimi-
dations and murders were committed
by Democrats for the purpose of elect
ing Sam'l ]. Tiden, is daily becoming
more overwhelming aud indiSputable.
: Southern Democrats are anxious to
give it up without any more ,inYestlga-
ton; and the telegraph informs us that
Democrats in the South are making
every exertion to cover up evidences OF
the 'sreturuI'' undertaken by them dur
ing the progress OF the canvass aud OH
election day to carry the several South
eru States against the will of thepeople.
Southern Democrats freely acknowledge
that Hayes aud Wheeler have fairly
won the race, and the only howlIngs
and thrcatcnings of blood and carnage
come from Northern copperheads, whom
ben Hill characterizes as always sin
visible in actual war 20 The copper
head press of Oregon will probably
continue to be alarmed, and cry war
and havoc; but they nor THEN followers
won't ight-they are as harmless as
doves. Ben Hill says the SontlI dom,
want war and there isn't really a particle
danger.
A few days ago the copperhead press
asserted that tile Supreme Court o
South Carolina had issued certificates
TO Tilden electors. Bnt this assertion
is found to be as false as the assertions
of the election of 'rilden and Hendricks
and the thousands of similar lies pro
mulgated by them during the canvass
The truth is that Hayes had a larg
majority on the face of the returns, aha
the only court record made of the mat
ter shows that Hayes and Wheeler ha,
q majority of over five hundred, with
out throwing ont single vote. An
the more the matter is looked into i
South Carolina the worse it will he f.
Ti'den. And the same may be trutl
fully said of Florida and I1ouisian;
The silly manner in which the bu:igle
Cronin, attempted to carry out IL
Tildcn plot here IN Oregon, has change
what might have proven at least
serious complication, into stupendol
farce for the Democracy, and made u
participators tile laughing stock of II
Nation.
Every day the case grows strong
and stronger for the Republican cand
dates, Hayes and Wheeler; and as i
anguration day approaches, opposite
from any respectable source will gradr
ally cease, until not the faintest breat
will be heard in opposition to the wi
of the people in their selection of Hay
for the position of Chief Executive
the Nation for the coming four year

Danche,, the French poet tells us, respect
ing the dedication of Hymen, that he was a
young man of Athens, obscurey born, but ex-
tremely handsome. Falling in low. with a
young lady of distinction, he disguised him
self in female habit, in order to get access
to her and enjoy the pleasure of her company
As he happened to be one day in this dis
guise with his mistress and her female com.
paniCns, celebrating on the seashore the rites
of Ceres Eleuslna, a gang of pirates came upon
them by surprise and carried them all off
The pirates, having conveyed them to a dis
tant island got drunk tor Joy, and fell asleep
Hymen seized his opportunity, armed the
virgins, and dispatched the pirates; after
which, leaving the ladies on the island, he
went in haste to Athens, where he told his
adventure to all the parents and demanded
her he loved in marriage as her ransom. His
request was granted, and so fortunate wa.
the marriage, that the name Hymen was evel
afterward invoked in all future nuptials, and
in progress of time the Greeks enrolled him
among their gods.

English and American Slang.


A review in Scrtbner for April of Miss AL.
colts last book contains the following in re-
gard to slang
Miss Alcott has been so especially con
demned in England on this score, that it al
most becomes necessary that her fellow-couu-
trymen should make her cause matter for
internal protest For much of the critic ism
is based on that extraordinary theory of our
British cousins, that it is they alone who are
entitled, as Parson Hough says, 10 make frit-
tiers of English One would think that a
child hundred years old might be entitled
to some voice IN arranging his own vocabu-
larry; but the theory seems to still prevail IN
some quarters, that all new Americanisms,
however indispensable, are slang, and all new
Anglicisms, however uncouth, are classic.
A good anecdote has lately crossed the ocean,
of an American girl who was playing GRO
quet IN England last summer. What hor'
rid scratchn SAID she Indignantly, when her
malet once failed Of Its duty and she missed
her shot. Oh my dearn said an English
cousin, you should not use such slang ex,
presslons' What should have said " asked

piled the English maiden, after canvassng
her vocabulary for perfectly unexceptional
phrase-'you might have said, what beast

Mr.. Spurgeon occasionally tells good sto.
ry. He would rather make his people laugh
than put them asleep. HIS homely but quaint
illustrations often stir the congregation as the
gale stirs leaves of the forest A poor man
who had very large family, gave them a
very comfortable support while lac was in
health. He broke his leg and was LAID up
for some weeks AS he would be for some
time destitute of the means of grace, it was
proposed to hold a prayer-meeting at his
house. The meeting was led by Deacon
Brown. A louC knock at the door interrupt,
ed the services. A tall, lank, bluc-frocked
youngster stood at the door with an oXgoad
in his hands, and asked to see Deacon Brown.
Father could not attend this meeting he
said "but has sent his prayers, and they are
out in the cart" They were brought in in
the shape of potatoes, beef, pork and corn
The meeting broke up without the benedic.
ton. Nor did the poor fellow suffer during
his whole confinement. The substantial
prayers of the donors became means of grace
