DEMocRATIc REFORM (O-The st. Louis
platform says Reform is necessary TO re-
store the public credit" Restore it to what
condition, pray 1t is in excellent condi-
ton, now it was never in better condition,
thanks to a Republican administration.
There is abundant proof of this in the ready
sale of the four and hall per cent bonds at
par in gold. Buchanan's administration left
the public credit in a very bad condition.
Perhaps the meaning of the st. Louis plat
form is, that it should be restored TO that
condition. 1t is difficult to imagine what
else it can mean; and we have no doubt that
a democratic administration would quickly
restore it TO that, and even TO much worse
condition. The Buchanan administration
increased the public debt greatly. 1t issued
more bonds they were six per cent bonds,
but the democratic fnanciers were obliged
to sell them at eleven aud twelve per cent
discount, There can be no reasonable doubt
that the election of Tiden and Hendricks
would be very disastrous to the public credit,
and to the business interests of the country.
This is change" to be dreaded by all who
prize the financial honor and prosperity OF
the nation

NOVEL Casa strange breach of prom
Use case is on trial in San Francisco court
the popularity being that woman sues
man for refusing to keep a matrimonial en-
gagement made with her while she was the
wife of another man. Mrs Edwards was the
young wife of an old husband, and she grew
tired OF the incongruous relation. Mr. Keat
ing was nearer her own age and disposition
and she bestowed on him the affection which
her husband could not gain. Mr., Heating
gave her his heart, and promised to give her
his hand as soon as she could be freed from
Mr.. Edwards. Several years were occupied
in securing that freedom, for Mr.. Edwards
behavior as husband was not bad enough
to make divorce easy to get but lega
separation was at length effected. In the
meantime, the courtship between Mr.. Keat
ing and Mrs. Edwards had progressed in a
way that would have been proper had she
not been wife Many love letters were
written, and preparations were made for mar
riage. After the husband was no longer an
obstacle, however, Mr. Keating's ardor cooled
gradually, until he no longer desired to marry
Mrs Edwards. Thereupon she brought the
suit, which the presiding judge says is UNI
precedented in the history of law.

THE action of the legislature yesterday
over the resolution inviting certain demo
cratic speakers to address them, was simply
puerile, The resolution was either right or
wrong, and should have been passed or re-
jected without such palaver as was made
about it. We think it was wrong upon pre-
cisely the same ground that we have always
thought the resolutions previously passed,
inviting our Senators and Representatives
in Congress to address the Legislature upon
the state of the country "a very hmsy
pretext for political speeches-vere wrong
But in any event the gingerness with which
the subject was handled in both houses--as
If 1t was hot poker--betokeued anything
except desire to work solely upon princi-
pie and for the public good But more than
this the resolution of the House was based
upon bluuder in its author. The fall Of
the House was not rendered to our mem
beers of Congress, and therefore there was
no reason for rendering to the democratic
gentlemen named. 1t is pretty safe to say
that the Hall will not be rendered to the
members of Congress.

The INDIAN QUESTION AGAIS.-T There
would seem to be no method of exterminat.
ing the Indians more rapidly and surely
than by removing them TO the Indian reser-
walton. Three years ago the Modocs were
removed from Oregon to a reservation near
Seneca, Missouri. At that time they num-
bered one hundred and fifty-three. OF this
number tifty-eight have died since then and
the mortality last month was greater than
ever. AS in the case OF the Fiji Islanders,
diseases to which they have not been accus-
toned and of which they are entirely ignor-
ant have attacked them. The comparatively
innocuous malady of whooping cough pre-
walls among them, and eight have died of it..
The saddest feature of their case is, that
there is no physician at the reservation to
care for them, aud they readily fall victims
to the diseases that attack them.

lon in sinister tone. The next day, at
noon, the servants placed on the table six
roasted partridges, which, in France, are
much larger than in the United States As
soon as his wife sat down, he locked the
door aud drew from his pocket revolver.
Madame" he said, the hour for your pun
ishment has come. You have dishonored
me 10y means of man named Partridge, and
here are six of his namesakes for You to
dine on. You will please eat them to the
last morsel. Ifyou cease doing so, or if you
attempt to give an alarm, will blow your
brains out The unhappy woman, feeling
the impossibility of accomplishing the task
without killing herself fell on her knees and
implored his pity. Courbalon's only reply
was to cock his revolver, and she therefore
commenced her task. g" forgot to say that
forbid your drinking while you eat" said
Courbalon. The poor woman, after finish
ing the second partridge, showed signs of
illness. She lifted her sad eyes to her hus-
band with an imploring expression, but he
pointed the pistol inexorably at her head.
In two hours and a half the six birds were
eaten at nine O'Clock that night the woman
died of indigestion.

beat him handsomely. He poled four hun.
dred and sixteen thousand votes in the state

the democratic party except in 1868, which
was accomplished by thirty thousand fraud

polled four hundred and forty-five thousand
