SHE KNEW Hrs WHISTLE. That was
a touching incident, last week, at the
death-bed of Mrs Gaylord. Her husband
is an engineer on the Cincinnati Road,
and upon reaching Richmond found a
despatch announcing the falling strength
Of bis wife. The difficulty among the rail-
roads made it impossible for him to got
off, A second despatch arrived saying
that she was sinking fast. It was then

Dayton Tho dying wife, whose cars
were fast closing to all earthly sounds,
listening for the familiar whistle which
she knew be always gave az the sign Of
approach. The hours few fast. and the
sands Of life were running very swiftly /;
still she could not 60 without saying fare
well to him. At nightfall, when the
sun had set over her last day on earth,
when the chill Of death was creeping
over her and the pulses we're failing, her
car caught the sound Of his coming. She
alone heard it, aud she said OWN is
coming that is his whistle" And he
reached the bedside in time to receive
her dying message Of farewell. RICH

WAsTTINGToN, Jan. 13.-Maior How
ard, of Jackson, Mississippi, testified
before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections this after
noon in relation to the intimidation
of voters in that State at the recent
election. He stated that he knew of
ut least one hundred persons Color
ed), and he thought they were mostly
republicans, at Tieman'spolling place,
just outside of Jackson, who were
kept from voting by reason of their
not being able to get through the
crowd around the polls and by reason
of the supervisors of election asking
questions of voters to take up time
and delay voting; is satisfied, from
what he saw and heard, that large
number of colored voters were in.
undated for the purpose of keepin o
them from voting. One of the meth.
DDS of intimidation practiced was to
threaten to turn laboring men out OF
employment. When republicans at
tempted to hold political meetings,
the conservatives or democrats Great
ed q disturbance and broke up the
meeting; republicans in all parts of
the State told witness previous to the
last election that unless they could be
protected they would poll small
vote. Judge Perch, of Kinds county,
Mississippi, in a conversation with
witness before the election, remarked
that the conservatives in his county
didn't propose to allow the republi-
can party ever to be built up in that
county again. What would BE called
farce in the North, was called an
election in the South; met but two
colored men in Mississippi who were
democrats; saw no violence done any
person previous to the election day
knows that a large majority of the
colored people would vote the re-
publican ticket if let alone.

Mr.. JAMES L. Wilson writes an
able and clear article in the Haapkeve,
showing that the first Congress that
convened under the Constitution and
including many men who helped
make that instrument, decided that
the President of the Senate is the
person who has the power to open
and count the electoral vote. There
should be no question as to this. But
he cannot undertake to decide what
the electoral vote of a State is if that
vote is in doubt.-Gate CITY.
The writer Of the above is singular
ly happy in declaring fact as beyond
all question in one line, and in the
very next three lines denying his own
proposition. lie says that the Hon.
james F. Wilson decides the power to
open and count the electoral vote
rests in the President of the Senate
The writer then says "therc should
" be no doubt as to this" But, says
the writer, "The President of the
Senate cannot undertake to decide
which is the true vote of contested
State. This is very weak and falla
cious reasoning. The power to opcr
and count necessarily includes all else
If this were not SO, then is the power
conferred by the Constitution to oper
and count, nugatory.

A MYSTERY.
The Sudden and Unexplained Alb
Sence Of Martin Huber.

Yesterday it TRANSFERRED that Martin
M Huber, the cashier of the freight
house of the B., G. r. & N. railroad,
in this city, had been absent from the
office during the entire week, and that
his absence was entirely unexplained
and inexplicable, and that with him
had also disappeared seven hundred
and fifty dollars of the company's
money or the vouchers for the same,
nobody could tell which. The young
man has long enjoyed the highest
confidence of his employers and asso-
ciates, and although the coincidence
is a suggestive one, his friends indig.
nantly repel any and every insinua-
ton rejecting upon his integrity,
Indeed there are circumstances sur
rounding his disappearance which
would indicate that an honorable So
luton of the mystery is not unlikely,
and in view of his previous unblem-
ishcd character, it is but justice to
await more definite developments be-
fore allowing his reputation to suffer.
1t seems that on last Saturday even.
ing he left the Office as usual for his
home. Since that time he has been
missing, and no one is able and willing
to tell where he is. In the safe were
found six hundred dollars in money,
and his books and accounts, checked
up to tho hour of closing the Office,
and showing every account in good
order and in balance to o dollar. Had
the disappearance been prcmeditated
and for the purpose of plumber, he
could have as easily taken the six
hundred dollars as not, and with such
a superstition it is hard to understand
why he left it.
The seven hundred and fifty dol
lars that is gone, is partly money that
he is supposed to have collected on
Saturday, and partly money which
he had to pay out on vouchers. The
sequel may show that most of it is
still in vouchers and bills in his pos
ession, or ON his person, or it may be
that he has been put out of the way
by some one for the sake of the mon
~. The third solution of the mystery
s that he has absconded with the
'unds, and this, we trust, and his
friends firmly believe, VIII prove a
also one.
He has stood very high in the city,
nd the matter has caused great So
lcitude among his friends. Time
lone can reveal the real facts in the
sse.-Burlsngton Haacheye.

IT will be recollected that some
Tour weeks ago a resolution was in
troduced into the Lower House oil
congress, looking to an amendment
to the Constitution dcbarring the
payment of the rebel claims to dis.
loyal persons. This was carried
though 81 democrats voted against it.
The resolution called upon the Judi
ciary Committee to report within
twenty days. The Committee have
done nothing. On the Sth inst, Hum
ter, the mover of the resolution, asked
the House to compel the Committee
to report. The democracy defeated
this imperative call upon the COM
mittee, and all action is squelched. II
is very easy to see that the democracy
OF the House are determined that nc
action shall be had barring the pay.
ment of rebel claims. This shows
that the republicans were right last
autumn in charging upon the democ.
racy, that if in power the rebel claims
would be paid from the National
Treasury. There can be no doubt in
the world that if the democratic
party had control of all branches oil
the government, the debt of this
nation would be doubled in REIN.

How Elections are Conducted In
that Reformed State.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate
elections committee having obtained
leave TO sit during the session of the
senate, continued the investigation in
the regard to the conduct of the late
election i'll Mississippi. Judge..G George
L. Swan, clerk of the United States
circuit and district courts for the
southern district of Mississippi, tes-
titled that personally he saw no in
timidation of voters, but he had been
often appealed to by colored men
about the time of the election, who
came TO him and complained that
they were not allowed TO vote. 9th
ers.complaincd that they were unable
to register, because they could not
give the exact geographical location
of their places of residence in the
election district in which they lived.
lie referred all persons who came to
him to the United States District At,
torncy, but those who made com.
plant were generally unwilling to
go. into court and testify, for fear OF
being thrown out of employment or
of having bodily harm done them by
their political opponents. Witness
stated that one of the frauds practiced
upon ignorant voters at the late cleo
ton by the democrats was to give out
democratic tickets with licensees of
Hayes and Wheeler on them.

Spend Your Money at Home.

xAA CACliiuSC SlNes tilC lOllOWilg
reasons why people should spend
their money at home. They are so
forcibly and well put that we cannot
refrain from giving them to our read
ers, hoping that they will give them
the consideration they deserve:
LIST. 1t is your home; you cannot
improve it much by taking money
away to spend or invest.
I'd. There is no way of improving q
place so much as by encouraging good
merchants, good schools, and good
people among yon, and this cannot be
done unless you spend your money at
home.
Sd. Spend yonr money at home, be-
cause that is where you generally get
it. 1t is your duty.
4th. Spend your money at home,
because if it is necessary for you to
get credit, it is from your own town
merchants YOU have to get it,and they
must wait for the money. Therefore,
when you have the cash, spend it al
home.
9Th. Spend your money at home.-
1t will make better merchants OF
your merchants; they can and will
keep better assortments and sell al
lower rates, than if the only bust
ness they can do is credit out, while
the money goes to other places.
9th. Spend your money at home.-
Yon may have sons growing up who
will some day be the best merchants
in town. Help lay the foundation OF
them now. 1t is a duty. 1t may be
your pride in after years to say: t'By
my trading at the store l got my sor
position as clerk, and now he is pro.
prietor." Then you will think it hard
of your neighbors that spend thcil
money out of town. Sec the example
now.
7th. Spend your money at home
Your merchants are your neighbors-
your friends; they stand by you in
sickness-are your associates-with.
out your trade they cannot help your
business. No stores, then, no banks
no wanting to buy property, to settle
or to build up your place.
9Th. Spend your money at home
What do you gain by going off,
Count the cost; see what you could
have done at home by letting your
merchants have the cash. Strike a
balance and see ifyou would not have
been just as well of, besides helping
your merchants.
9th. Merchants should do their ad.
vertising at home. They should ge
their bill heads, circulars, cards, letter
heads, and all their printing at home
of their own newspapers, which aid
them in many ways, and advertise
them hundreds of times without any
pay whatever. Merchants should SCI
an example to their customers by pat.
ronizing literally their home newspa
pers. How can merchants expcc
their ncighbors to trade with them i
they set the example Of going ava,
from home for their printing and ad
yertising? Let merchants and PEG
pie all patronize home enterprise
home industry, and home trade. 81
they shall all be prosperous and hap
