to prove the bad character of these men
than to discredit their testimony, which is
corroborated at every point by documentary
proofs and by comfrmatory circumstances
derived from other sources. Certain it is
that the supporters Of Mr.. Hayes have not
a shred of a case unless this ugly testimony
can be broken down.
Littlefield swears that he deliberately
altered and falsifed the returns under the
returns having then been burned and others
given to Littlefeld to destroy. One of those
which he promised to destroy, and told
Wells he had destroyed, he took to Mr..
Spearing, his uncle, a republican citizen,
who had voted for the Hayes electors, whose
sense of justice was so shocked that he
took measures for having tho fraud in
vestigated. He induced Littlefiold to
make with him long journey to Spring
field, ILL.,, taking the document by which
the charge Of fraud is proved, and all tho
circumstances were frankly explained to
Ex-Governor Palmer OF that State. 1t is
through this channel that the House COM
mittce has been furnished with the clew and
the materials for the investigation whose
results are so startling. Nothing ever
cqualled the surprise and CONSERVATION Of
Wells and his confcdcrates when they found
that the committee was in possession of
damning documents which they thought
destroyed, and had got hold OF witnesses
who knew all the facts.
There is also some not very convincing
documentary confirmation of the evidence
that this precious set of rascals made over
lures TO the friends Of Mr.. Tilden to sell
the Returning Board and the vote of Loui-
siana for tho good round sum of million
dollars. Mr.. Maddox is the alleged inter-
mediary for this transaction. An agent of
his is said 10 have approached Mr.. Hewitt,
who promptly declined the proposition.

TELEcRapAlC SUMMARY.

4 correspondent with Mchcmet Ali i'll
dCatcS that the engagement at T2ereavna
was intended rs n reconnaissance, but as
sumed somewhat more serious character
because of the impctuosity of the Turkish
troops who, according to this and other
accounts, displayed the greatest courage.
The central column advanced so far as
Nerboka, and after having been ordered
for times in vain to retire, had to be led
out ofthe fire by the division commander
in person after having stormed the Rus
sian position under murderous fire.
Gladstone formally denies the assertion
Of the ConstantinOple correspondent that
he had written to the Greek resident at
COnstantinoplc advising the Greeks to join
in the war against Turkey. The letter
was written long before the outbreak Of
the war, and advises the Greeks to give a
moral support to each other. This affair
has been causing considerable sensation

LONDON. Sept. 2G.-A correspondent at
Paris telegraphes that the electOra irriol
namely, that in which public nIu,ing-
may be held, has now been open rwodlys:
but there has been no eXCitemrni in 60
sequence in Paris, where nr,tl. - are
not necessary, as tho success of Tie lie
publicans is almost foregone conclusion
In the remote provi cial districts, no idea
can be formed abroad of the bitterness of
men already arising between the poltcal
parties. They are like two hostile nations
confronting each other and ready to COME
to blows. Never before did this painful
animosity attain the intensity to which it
has been growing since the 10th of May.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--rhirty thouS-
aud models were destroyed by fire in the
patent office The value of the property
lost, in the abstract, will not aggregate
about 1 4 millions, but as large number
OF models cannot or will not be replaced,
the actual loss will probably not reach
over Ss00000 or 100000 The patent
office has to Its credit with the treasury,
over and above its earnings, sum suiii-
cent to meet this expenditure, but it can
not be used without an appropriation by
Congress.

THE ARTFUL D0DGER.

Bro. Murphy, of the standard,
exhibits true parliamentary skill by
dodging the real point at issue, and
1graveiy penning quotations to prove
that the object of language is accom-
plished by enabling men to conceal
ideas. Unfortunately, however, like
the back -slidden Christian, his ''lsst
state is worse than the first" because
Il leaves him in the position of a man
trying to present his sentiments so
that the public will misconstrue them.
Not wishing to be unjust, we can ex.
plain away the paradox only on the
supposition that our education came
through a different school from that
Of our friend. AS our training was
received subsequent to his school
days, we hope he will not claim, for
his style, the advantage of ADVANCE
IDEAS. Being willing that the public
should comprehend our real position
at all times, we confess to having 10
use for the ability to attach hidden
meaning to our words. SO much for
the difference. In regard to our
jeopardised moral code, we must
again ''show our bringing up" by in
sisting, in our verdant way, that the
honest confessing of an error is in no
case an attempt to justify it by using
something else as an off set. If our
friend, however, insists on denying
us the liberties with his statements
which he takes with ours, we beg
leave to submit the case to arbitra-
ton. Again, he assures his readers
that we want admission to the Re-
publican fold, through his blessing;
also that he believes we will swallow
all the "biled crow" which the party
may desire us to dispose of. If the
gentleman had not already defined
his position, Indicating that his senti-
ments are concealed" by words, we
should submit that, from his personal
knowledge, he must concede to rs,
the disposition, as an independ,
ent journalist, to refuse "biled crow"
from any political party; that bis
statements cannot be maintained un-
less they SAVIOR More of reason, and
that he could make such assertions
only in pursuance Of policy, at a sac
ri6ce Of honest convictions. If the
"bied crow" doctrine "fnds favor in
his eyes" we have no desire to con
test his ownership.

ted previous to the present one, but
for it alone. lie also stated, at the
time Of pronouncing sentence, that
the jury had performed its duty; that
from the law and evidence no punish,
ment could reasonably be inflicted
upon the prisoner except for man
slaughter, and that the Prosecuting
Attorney had performed his duty.
or this last statement we may say
that there are many dissenting voices
in Port Townsend: however, this
may be accounted for partially on
the grounds that local prejudices
may prompt many to overstep the
bounds Of Justice in their desire to
see more severe punishment inflicted,
There can be no doubt as to the fact
that Mr.. White could have prose
cuted the case with more vigor and
earnestness. In this respect he per
haps laid himself open to censure. 1t
is generally supposed chat the coun'
sci for the defendant, which in this
case was very able, ought to be com
petent to say everything possible in
favor Of their client.

NEW YORK SOCIETY.
The Beautiful Kgeir%$s who was
Secretly Married i'm the
Mayors Office.

From the Baltimore Americana
A recent cowhiding serape in which a
New York lawyer figures has for It's basis
the terrible consequences which result
from young and willful girl having her
own way. For two years past the only
daughter of very wealthy man has
been central figure in fashionable New
York society. She was not twenty years
old, and the heiress to a large fortune.
OF course she was courted, fattered, fol
lowed. She organized a ''coterie;" of
which she was made President. She re-
ceived thenattentlon of titled foreigners,
and was the envied of her set.
But one morning last winter the intel
ligence came like shock that she was
married, had been married a year, and
to worthless young fellow scarcely old
er than herself-poor, but already
drunkard and gambler. The marriage
ceremony was performed at the Mayors
office, the infatuated girl having been
made to believe that this was only civil
contract, and did not constitute a real
marriage, and that she could disavow 1t
at the end Of year, during which time
it was to be kept profound secret. Be
fore the year, expired, however, the hus.
band grew jealous, threatened, and fl
nalIy claimed her, treating her parents
with the most impertineut rudeness,
and, to her horror, the unhappy girl
found herself tied for life to d person
without ordinary decency or manhood.
Probably divorce would have been
obtained had it not been for the inter
ference of the relatives of the young
man (his family is a respectable one),
who finally prevailed upon the parents
of the girl to extend sort of sanction to
the marriage, which they did, by issuing
invitations to grand party, to which
300 guests were invited, of which fifty
only were present. A house was bought
and furnished by the father of the bride,
and the young couple went TO housekeep-
ing. The other day the mother called,
found that her daughter had been struck
and beaten, ami was summarily ordered
down stairs and out of the house by the
scapegrace sen-in-law, who, mad with
drink and rage, himself put her out, and
told her never to darken his doors again.
The next day he was cowhided in the
street by an indignant nephew of his
mother in Jaw and cousin Of his wife, who
is now out on bail. So much for secret
and hasty marriage.

And here I sit in the coy inn.

And drink my pint of claret alone.

And wonder which OF my three false friends

Washington Capital Upon last Friday
this beautiful woman left " ashington-
where, at the Arlington, she had resided
since last summer--for her home IN the
vest. Ofall who once followed, tlAttered,
sought and sued this graceful and win
ming woman OF fashion, not one was near
TO say in leaden tone, farewell. We were
not among those who sought to bask IN
the sunshine OF her smiles in her hour OF
prosperity, OF partook Of her generous
and graceful hospitality; and yet we
never met her driving out without her
baby In her arms, or saw her gliding
quietly along the halls of the Arlington
that we did not have heaItaeRe. She
had fallen from her high estate through
circumstances that rob the event of all
crime. She saw those near and dear to
her accepting presents in return for Pc
Ttical favor, precisely as the President
did continually, and all about her were
of the sane sort. When the exposure
came the manner in which she came TO
the front and attempted to shield her
husband and her dead sister by criminal
mo herself was brave. She failed, but
the effort was heroic, and made a
noble woman of one WHO, but , little be-
fore. seemed only one of many lovely
women dispensing graceful hospitality to
} heartless world, The world swings on,
and ere long the Belknaps will be forgot
ten by tho gay throng in which they
moved: but If it is any comfort we can
saw there are a few who, knowing her and
knowing all the circumstances attending
the exposure, add to their love deep,
hearty. honest admiration.

Mrs. Sarah Josephine Hale is said to
be the oldest woman editor in the country
A native of Newport, New Hampshire,
she removed to Boston when she was
thirty three, and conducted the Ladies'
Magazine for nine or ten years, until it
was united with the Ladies Book in
Philadelphia. She went TO that city,
became literary editor of the consolidated
magazine and has held that position ever
since. She is now eighty two-a rival of
Bryant in age and service--still vigorous
in body and strong in mind, and able to
to do a great deal Of hard work. She
has written and compiled about twenty
five or thirty volumes, embracing plays,
poems, romances, sketches, cook books,
histories and "reminiscences. One of her
works is entitled a Record of all the
Distinguished Woman from the Creation
Down to 1854, which, with unconscious
satire on her sex, she completes in some
nine hundred printed pages. Mrs. Hale
is represented as a very amiable and in
teresting lady, full of anecdote and recol-
Iections of noted persons she has met dur
ing her busy life
