''KiSmet."

Men, the dear creatures, have so
much trouble, for they cannot even
afford the luxury of a wife, because
the ladies, at this age of the world,
are $50 extravagant !" But, per-
haps, if the ladies were paid better
wages for what they do, they would
not be entirely dependent upon the
men, as some of them are, and there
would be less sarcastic speeches, and
we could live in (this world) peace
and harmony.
The idea of a acOman earning as
much as a man. Whoever heard
tell of the like? 1t is absurd to
compare a woman with the 'lords of
creation y Perhaps she is smart
enough-perhaps she has the brain
perhaps she does the same amount
of work, but then, there is the
strength, the muscle, and, above all,
the, comceit of man-these are want
ing.
If lady buys anything, she must
pay the same price for it as man
would, and if she is boarding, she
must pay the same amount as he,
although she does not get half the
wages, and, of course, she must
clean her own room, mind the chill
dren and help the lady of the house,
or else she is termed lazy, or ''stuck
up"
But a gentleman, with cigar in
his mouth, his hands in his pockets,
may saunter into the parlor, and,
with his feet in the window, one eye
shut, taking a birds eye view of the
world. and contemplating whether it
is of much importance compared
with himself, may. sit in undis-
puted possession the live-long even
ing. and he is not expected to turn
his head to see what is the matter

AHayes Democrat.

T. J. Leeds, editor of the George
town, o., Sentinel, an Independent
paper, comes out in favor of Hayes
and Wheeler. Mr.. Leeds has been
a lifelong Democrat and comes out
thus boldly on the side of right.
After naming the long list of swim
dies, tricks of dishonesty, and many
other reasons why Mr.. Tilden should
not be made President, Mr.. Leeds
concludes as follows
"These are but few reasons why
we shall support Rutherford B.
Hayes for President. We might go
on and and eDumerate good and suff-
cient reasons to the same degree,
infnit,Sm, but it is sufficient to
know, as for ourself, we stand in re-
lation to Mr.. Tilden's record now,
where nine-tenths of the Democracy
stood before he was nominated
through the trickery and conniving
of John Morrissey, the leading gam
bier and prize-fghter in America,
and his allies"

And here I would appeal to my
Democratic friends all over the State
to stop all social intercourse with any
man who is base enough to be Rad

ward him that the brand of infamy
is on him and his children. This is
the only way you can reach his black
heart. Let him see that there is a
moral pestilence around him which
prevents all social contact with hon
orable men, and leaves him from pat
ronage and society to his own chosen
rogues and plunderers.- Ex. Gov.
Perry, of South Carolina.

Alleged SwindIers Arrested

A man named D. A. Evans was
arrested at q hotel in London, Mad
ison county, and brought here Sat
urday, charged with swindling
operations in raising notes from
their original face value, to large
amounts, and negotiating the paper.
Yesterday Sunday afternoon Evans
partner, S. W. Elliott, was brought
here from Greenfield, Highland
county, for being concerned in the
same transactions. The latter was
able to give bail in 5000 for his ap-
pearance before the Mayor, but
Evans was put in jail. These men
have for some weeks been operating
in this county in the lightning rod
business, as agents of a Cleveland
company. Their plan was to make a
contract with a man for rodding his
building, taking q note payable in a
certain time. These notes, or some
of them, were realized on with par
ties in this city, and it has come to
light, had been raised from small to
large amounts, so alleged, the trans
actions covering, it is believed, ST.
500 or $4,000; possibly more.
The parties giving the notes, all,
or nearly all, live in the country. At
the time Evans was taken, it is said
he threw a quantity of papers into
the fire, and the authorities now
have some in their possession which
are scorched. In the baggage was
found a book of notes, some filed
out with amounts of money, ready
for signing, and some with names
torn off. Elliott is a man of very
high standing in Greenfield, where
he is proprietor of a leading hotel,
and brings letters from reputable
and well known citizens of that place,
to this effect. He claimed his ability
to give bail in one hundred thousand
dollars there, if necessary. Also that
his connection with the lightning
rod business was that of advance
agent, he securing the orders, &c,
and Evans doing the fnanciering.-
Officers have gone to Columbus to-
day for the driver of the wagon, who
will be here before night. Also,
Hinman, Superintendent of the
Cleveland Lightning Rod Company,
The notes in the book found in
Evans valise are written in pencil in
such a manner that it is easily to be
seen how they could be raised to ten
times their original face value. No
time has been fixed, at this writing,
for a preliminary examination, but it
will be soon Springfield Republic.

The issue is as plain as it was when
the rebel armies confronted our
forces in 1864. Tilden stands to-
day where Mcclellan stood then.
McClellan's election would have Civ
en- existence to the Southern Con-
federacy. Tilden's election will re-
vive into life and restore to power
all those evil forces which were sup
pressed at Appomattox.
Can the nation afford this! Can
business men afford it? Can hu-
manity and civilization afford it
Let the true state of affairs be thund-
cred into the ears of the people. If
we are to have peace in the future
the elements that disturb it must be
expelled from power. Democracy
is the disturbing element. By acci-
dent it gained control of the House
of Representatives, by design it must
surrender that control to the party
that has right, by reason of its
wisdom, its loyalty, and its sacrifices
to hold it.

Home Correspondence.
PUT Your Hand over your
MOuth,V

I notice the Hillsboro Gazette has
become interested about us poor col
ored people. I do not know why il
has become so all at once. The Ga
zette says Wm. Anderson was brutal
ly assaulted by band of negroes be
cause he voted the Democratic tick
ct. Suppose he was. What has the
Gazette to do with that It was
done by entirely his own race.
What is the colored man assaulted
for in South Carolina Is that be-
cause he "votes the Democratic tick
ETY. No! but because he aoiH moi
vote it,
Hold on, Mr.. Gazette "It is poor
rule that will not work both ways. "
You do not say any thing about the
colored men who are killed in the
South because they will not vote
for your party. But you are very
sorry for poor Bill Anderson because
he has lost leg in Uncle Sans army.
What warm sympathy, to come from
a Democrat!
You say Bill voted as he pleased.
I do not think he voted as he pleas
ed, but to please Others. There
are but few negroes that would vote
the Democratic ticket if they were
to vote as they please.
As to Rickman, I do not know
that he has much more colord blood
in him than the Editor of the Gazette.
Even though he is colored man, he
voted the Democratic ticket, and af
ter voting for the Democrats, they
were helping to abuse and run him
off. Yet the Gazette says it was ''a
band of negroes" That is all you
care for the colored man. Get his
vote and then run him out of town.
I can see you in your true light. Here
you are:
"on Platforms treacherous plank you stand,
And cast fearful eye,
Up Salt Rivers distant land,
Where your possessions lie."
How do you expect q ':solid South?"
By forcing the negroes to vote for
your party. But the colored boys
must not hurt poor Bill, because he
voted the Democratic ticketl
I hope the boys will all wake up,
so we can help elect Hayes in No
vember, and then you Democrats
will have to sing:
ave can here no longer stay,
For Hayes's waves around us roll,
And we must launch away"

1t has been well remarked that
the Republicans started into the late
campaign with four objects is view /;
To elect Secretary of State in Ohio,
to elect a Governor of Indiana, to
overcome the Democratic majority in
the Ohio Congressional delegation, to
overcome the Democratic majority in
the Indiana Congressional delegation.
It has succeeded in three out of four
of these objects, and failed in only
one. Two more things remain to be
done-to give the Electoral vote of
of Ohio to Hayes and Wheeler, and
to give the Electoral vote of Indiana
to the same candidates. There is
no doubt in regard to Ohio. A
gain of sixty votes in each county OF
Indiana will secure her fifteen Elect
oral votes to Hayes, and place his
election beyond all doubt.
