The Rumor abeus Seating T.,don

The Rumor about Seating Tlldcn.
We have no doubt but q large ma
jority Of the democratic party and
perhaps majority of the democratic
members of Congress would sustain
q move to unseat President Hayes
and I'LL his place with Tilden in the
event that the democrats should get a
majority in the Senate. We do not
believe, however, that there would be
unanimity enough among democratic
members to bring about such result.
The attempt, if made and supported
by majority Of the democratic par.
ty, would again consign that party,
for time, to hopeless minority
We confess, however, that we shall
never be surprised at any action OF
the democracy, however satanical it
may be, when we remember the dc.
plorablc and willful treason it has
committed. OF this project the Chi
cago Times says:
Washington dispatches assert that
Mr.. Hayes Is really worried about the
rumors Of an intention upon the part
Of the democrats, if they can obtain q
majority in the Senate, to pass a bill
opening tho courts to Mr.. Tildcn fol

Hayes. 1t Is probable these state.
meuts are uniaat In Mr. Hovoo Hc
cannotbe credulous enough to believe
.nat any party In congress would vote

which he holds by the decree Of tht
supreme legislative power Of tho ma. M
ton, to be annulled by any court n
the country. The impossibility 81

persuaded to take jurisdiction of such

The Polk County Soldiers Reunion
in this city yesterday almost assumed
the character of an Anti-Policy DEM
onstration. The old veterans got to-
gether and looked at their torn BATTLE
flags, they examined the bullet-holes
in the old coats they used to wear,
they dropped tear for their dead
comrades, and they talked of the prin-
ciples for which they had fought.
some how or other they seemed to
think that they had endured these
hardships and perils for the sake Of
certain principles that should be pre-.
served. They even went to the ex-
tent Of declaring that there was rad
ical difference between them and the
men they fought. The speeches all
reflected these strange feeling. Judge
Sherman's speech, glowing with pa
triotic and soldierly feelings, had in it
. great deal of what seemed like per-
pendicular Republicanism. The great
orator, DIR. Hutchins, seemed to have
taken simiar idea for the keynote of
his splendid and stirring oration.
And the entire assemblage seemed to
endorse, emphatically and enthusias-
tically, all that was said. Even those
noble veterans who headed the Bea-
yer township delegation-the one
with both arms gone, and the other
with both eyes burned out by rebel
powder-gave evidence that they
were not Policy men. It was strange
but the sentiment that animated this
singular Soldiers Reunion, was not
that which obtains at Virginia cat
tie show.--Des Moines Register.

A Remarkable Case


Last Thursday patient named
Mrs. Shade, of Guthrie county, ar
rived at the hospital for the insane,
at this place, whose case presents some
remarkable features worthy of spe-
cial mention. One day in last March
while on visit to 4 neighbor, Mrs.
Shade became suddenly insane, bo-
ing at times violent. This condition
continued with variable degrees OF
violence until about the middle Of
juno, when she was taken with I'll
after which she fell into swoon or
trance lasting without any known in
termission until on the first day of
October, when che awakend for q few
hours and talked In a disconnected
manner. On the day following she
again fell into . trance, or sleep, and
has not since been awake. When fed
her mouth lis forced open and food
put into it. The lady is about thirty
years of age and 10 the mother Of one
child, o boy four years old. Some
evidence of consciousness was exhib.
tied on the day when she left home.
After being placed in her carriage
the little boy embraced and kissed
her, when tears flowed from her clos
ed eyes, but thero was no other sign
OF wakefulness. Tho case Is certain
ly remarkable as well as sad one
aud it's hoped that she may soon find
relief.

will impose penalty on man be-
cause he gave his neighbor q few
handsful Of leaf tobacco, raised by hit

We read almost daily of nameless
outrages being committed on women
by tramps, and have repeatedly
warned our readers against this class
Of vagrants. Heretofore Bloomfield
has escaped, and this fact has doubt
less led all to think the danger was
imaginary. At last the crime has
been brought to orr doors, and the
warning should not be unheeded.-
On Tuesday, the 18th inst, a tall, thin
visaged tramp, dressed in dirty suit
of gray clothes, was in this city
About the middle Of the afternoon he
appiied at one of the houses in this
city, for food, and was provided with
v hat he could eat, by . young woman.
He found out in some way, probably
was told by the girl, that she was the
only one at home, and when he fin
ished his meal he assaulted her and
accomplished his vile purpose. He
knocked the girl down and she be-
came insensible. When she recovered
consciousness the villain was gone.
For four days the girl kept the secret,
but her agony Of mind became great
"a su1u onS CVuAu ucdTS 0uU tLlb uI00
and woman Of the house were inform
ed of the outrage. The girls person
bore marks Of violence, and her story
was fully corroborated. 1t was too
late then to catch the scoundrel, and
all parties decided to keep 1t secret.
We can give no names or further par
ticulars, for this reason. Our object
in mentioning the horrible crime is to
give warning to the women of the
county of the danger they incur in
even permitting tramp to enter the
house, when they are alone. Itseems
incredible that so gross an outrage
could be committed in our quiet town
and not be known, and yet the facts
here detailed can he relied on, as we
have them fIom a party fully inform
ed. Now let our women folks take
warning and be prepared to settle
the hash of any vagrant sconndrel
who may be found prowling around
their homes.-B bloomfield Repaalicaa

ENGLISH STRIKES,

LoSpoN, Nov. 3O.-A thousand cot
ton operatives at Mosely struck and q
general strike is threatened if the
proposed reduction of wages is en-
forced.
The Burnley weavers have resolv-
cd that it were better to strike than
to allow masters to glut the market
by means of reduced wages. A re-
duction of hours of labor is suggest
ed by some weavers as remedy for
the present trouble.
