COMMITTEES, PHILADELPHIA,
October 10, 1877.

COMMITTEE, PHILADELPHIA,
October 10, 1877. J
Our party has suffered an apparent
disaster in Ohio. The result has only
local and temporary significance. The
Republicans of Pennsylvania will be
neither disarmed nor dismayed. The
great and patriotic record of the party
in the past is not to be obscured, nor
will it be arrested in its progress until
it shall have finished its mission.
Our November contest involves
State questions of great Importance.

rett, candidate of undoubted learn.
ing, ability and integrity, who has
already fully illustrated these qualities
by long service on the bench.
The financial agents of the State are
to be elected, and in presenting Hon.
John A. NJ. Passmore for Auditor
General and Captain William B. Hart
for State Treasurer, you have chosen
gentlemen who combine every qualifi-
cation necessary for the competent
discharge of their duties, and the rec
ord of whose private and public lives
is unsullied.
In this branch of your interests your
party has given the highest evidences
of skill and honesty. Since your ad-
vent to power you have reduced the
State debt from Sal 100000 in 1861,
to $22,000,00O at the present time,
with assets maturing ond pledged for
the payment Of the State debt amount
ing to s8,O00,O00, leaving a net debt
of only 14,0O0,000 to be provided for,
showing an actual reduction under Re-
publican administration of $27 ,00O, 900.
We have given the most unquestioned
assurances that our nominees will go
on with the policy of retrenchment
ard financial honesty. AT this day
not dollar of State taxes is levied
upon the real estate in the Common.
wealth.
In national matters it remains to be
demonstrated that the equal rights of
all have been completely vindicated.
1t is not yet true that Republican in
the south enjoys all the political priv
ileges of Democrat in the north. The
great Republican party, either in this
State or in the ration, will not have
closed its labors or accomplished its
purposes until all the rights guaranteed
by the Constitution of the United
States are practical facts, fully incor-
perated into the daily life of north and
south alike.
Fhe coming struggle in Pennsylva-
mia is of supreme importance with the
welfare OF the people, who through the
busy efforts of demagogues, have been
kept uneasy and restless. Much as we
deplore the prostration of industrial |
interests in the land, we remind you |
that this condition of things is not the
result Of governmental policy, and that
and the other nations of Eu-
rope are all suffering in like manner

Rome Bnring Back Converts.

A great sensation has been caused at
Geneva by the sudden departure of two
priests who had become converts TO the
Old Catholic doctrine, but who appear
to have repent.d of their conversion, for
they left Geneva, addressing to the Pres
ident of the Church Council the follow
ing letter /: Having found that at
tempts TO establish q national Catholic
Church at Geneva have only political
end, we declare our intention of separat-
ing from them, of returning to The
bosom of the only Catholic Church, and
of making submission to her authority as
the sole guardian of the Christian faith. "
The Ultramontane party exulted very
much over this declaration, but it now
appears, according to Swiss papers, that
these two priests, before leaving Geneva,
went to see Monsignor Mermillod, the
exiled bishop, who is living onthe French
frontier, and received from him the sum
Of $4,000 each to recant. This accusa-
ton was first made in an anti-Catholic
journal, and would, it was supposed, be
at once repealed as calumny. But,
upon the contrary, the Courier de
Geseve, which u Monsignor Mermillod's
own organ frankly admits that money
passed, and adds that Catholic associa-
tion had been formed for the purpose OF
buying back the perverts.

Lynch LaH--Its Origin.

James Lynch was mayor Of Galway,
Ireland, in 1473. He had made several
voyages to Spain, and on one occasion
brought home with him the son of a re-
spectacle Spanish merchant, named
Gomez. Walter Lynch, the only son Of
the mayor of Galway, was engaged to a
beautiful young lady of good family and
fortune. Preparatory to the fluptials
the mayor gave q splendid entertain
ment, at which young Lynch fancied his
intended bride viewed his Spanish friend
with too much regard. He accused his
beloved Agnes of unfaithfulness to him,
and she, irritated at his injustice, dis
dainsd to deny the charge, and they
parted in anger On the following
night, while Walter Lynch slowly passed
the residence of Agnes, he observed
young Gomez to leave the house, he
having been invited by her father to
spend that evening with him. In the
madness of jealously Lynch rushed on
his unsuspecting friend, who fed to a
solitary quarter of the town near the
shore. Lynch maintained the pursuit
till his victim had nearly reached the
waters edge, when he overlook him,
and stabbed him to the heart, and threw
the body into the sea, which cast it back
again on the shore, where it was found
and recognized the following morning.
The wretched murderer surrendered him
self; and his father, being chief magis.
trate of the town, entrusted with the
power of life and death, found himself
obliged to condemn his son to death.
On the night preceding his execution,
his mother went to the heads OF her
family and prevailed on them to attempt
rescue. The morning of the execution
an immense crowd had assembled, who
cried loudly for mercy to the culprit.
The'mayor exhorted them to submit to
the laws; but, finding them determined
on a rescue, he, by desperate victory,
overcame parental feelings, and finding
that his efforts to accomplish the ends Of
Justice In the usual place, and by the
usual hands, were fruitless, he became
executioner himself, aud, from the win
dows of his own house, launched his un-
fortunate son into eternity.

Power Of Example.

Speaking of q recent suicide in New
York, q correspondent adds The natu
raj inclination to follow an evil example
was illustrated by the monument sui-
cides in London. The monument is 200
feet high, and its summit once was open
to the public, with buta small protective
railing. More than seventy years ago,
however. q man leaped over the rail and
was picked up dead. His example was
soon afterward followed by another, and
the monument suicides became 80 fire.
quent that tall railing was built,
which effectually prevented any further
attempt.
Similar instances of the power of ex-
ample have occurred in this city. A man,
for instance, leaped from the wheelhouse
of a steam ferryboat some years ago and
was drowned. Immediately there was
run of "steamboat suicide" Another
striking case was that OF DIR. Wells, the
once noted Hartford dentist, and (as it is
claimedJ the discoYerer of chloroform.
He came from Hartford to this city to
attend to his discovery, and in the even
ing walked out to see New York by gas
light. He became, no doubt, slightly
intoxicated and was inciudedi in number
of arrests made that night. When he
came to, he found himself the inmate of
q cell, and he knew that as soon rs this
dreadful fact became known his reputa-
tion would be destroyed. Unable to
contemplate such result the unfortu-
nate man opened n vein and then dosed
himself with chlor0form, and was found
in the morning dead. That season a
large number of chloroforn suicides took
places. Hotel suicides have also been
much in vogue since they were at first
started. Paris green suicides also had
an extensive run. One finds that there
is fashion in JelO de Sc just as there is
in everything else.

A Heroic Nurse.

One of the nursing sisters OF the
Order of Troyes succumbed recently at
Paris to an attack OF hydrophobia, con-
tracted under circumstances of no ordi-
nary heroism. A month ago she was
taking a walk with five convalescent
children, the eldest of which was only
eight years of age, when they were sud
denly assailed by q sheep dog, whose
jaws We're running with foam, and who
attacked them with fury. She instantly
saw the danger of her charges, and,
resolutely interpOsing between the ter
riied children and the furious animal,
bravely withstood its attack. She was
severely bitten, and the dog, excited by
the cries OF the children, endeavored to
rush upon them. Then followed a
splendid act OF devotion. Protecting
them with her body the children, who
hung on to her petticoats shrieking with
terror, this brave girl threw herself
courageously upon the dog, and for ten
minutes grasped it, rolling over with it,
and thrusting her fist into its mouth to
prevent its biting the children. Some
peasants, who came up at last, beat of
and killed the dog. The sister was
found to have fifteen deep wounds on her
hands, and lacerated arms an import
ant artery was wounded. Skillful care
was given to her wounds, ligatures were
applied, the parts torn were cauterized,
aud for short time after her return TO
Paris some hope existed that she might
escape the ultimate fate which there was
so much reason to fear. Later, how.
ever, the pharyngeal spasm, vomiting,
and hydrophobia in all it's characteristics
symptom appeared and the nurse died
from this fatal and fearful disease, find.
ing consolation in the certitude Of hav-
ing saved, at the price OF her life, the
five children who had bsen eOnhded 10
her.
