We publsh herewith the Letters OF ac-
ceptauce of Judge John Turnkey and Col.
Amos G. Noyes Judge Trunkey's letter
is characteristic of the man-modess ana
dignifled and eminently becoming can
didate Cor a high judicial position. Those
who admire his ability and integrity as
Judge will heartily endorse his statement,
that he can give DO other assurance of the
etfor. he will make faithfully and efficiently
TO discharge his duty. in the event OF his
election, than the past record OF his private
and official life.
The letter OF Col. Moves is a pledge to
the taxpayers of the State that the secrecy
which has heretofore surrounded the man
agement of the Treasury Department shall
be removed, and that IL he is elected he
will present to the people a statement which
will plainly exhibit the actual condition of
the office. This is Just what the people have
long demanded, but have never been fur
uished. Unlike Rawie, lie present Treas
urer, Col. Noyes never makes a promise
which he does not intend to redeem. His
election will be a guarantee that the interest
ARISING from ttt ltitn Oh ttly ltttttpii Vi tiic
uuex pended balances in the Treasury will
be placed where the law says it shall be,
and not find its way into the private pocket
of the Treasurer, as has been the case for

Tuesday. The campaign has been excep-
tipnally dull and commonplace, aud has
not been marked by n tithe of tho excite
ment that was anticipated. 1t is believed
by both parties that the vote or Hamilton
county, Which includes Cincinnati, will
decide the political complexion "f the Leg
stature, and possibly the election of Gov
erncr. Political affairs in that Slate are
as thoroughly mixed and confused as they
are in our own, aud we will not therefore
hazaId any opinion as to the result. Neith
CT a victory nor defeat ~ i'll astonish us.

THE Philadelphia Record, which for the
last few days has found it's way To our
ssucjum and bceu gladly welcomed, may
I've justly said to rank among the ablcst
daily newspapers published in that city.
Occupying a perfectly independent posi-
lion in politics, and therefore above and
that have so long robbed and plumdered
.he taxpayers Of Philadelphia, it has ac
quired the confidence and support Of the
people to such an extent that its circua-
tion is perhaps not exceeded by that of any
other daily, much less weekly, journal pub
lished in that city. It's present success is
secure and gives assurance Of continued
and enlarged prosperity i'll the future.

COME TO THE FRONT. The labor move
ment in this county does not give evidence
of great activity, and its only effect will
be the election of the Republican ticket.
Why any sensible Democrat should break
of this year when the Republican party is
falling to pieces, we cannc: for the lite of
US see. 1t does seem to confirm a remark
attributed 20 Grant in a recent Interview, !,
when he said the Democrats were always
sure 10 do some foolish thing just as .hey
were about to win. Now we find Demo-
Gratis drifting into a Labor movement which
can neifher give them bread, work wa
ges which is only intended by designing
leaders to add few more years to the Re-
publican party, To plumber the people.
The same game has been played in this
county several times, and every time with
the same result. The Republicans would
slip ont when they come TO vote, and leave
Democrats to he lau9h he'd at for their cred
ulity. Not only are the principles of the
Democracy adopted 10 the wants of the
workingmen and the only party which
looks to his protection against the misuse
of capital in corporations, but the State
ticket nominated is composed of better
representatives of the working classes than
their own. NJ. Schell has labored in the
cause for years, and at one time vas their
unanimous choice for Governor. Col.
Noyes, cold square tinlber,' has been
an honest and practical Iaborer all his life
in the severest sense of the term, and if
the labor party was half as honest as it pre-
tends to be, it would above all men take
Col. Noyes for State Treasurer.
We appeal To the Democrats of this
city aud county, who may have for any
reason felt vcxed or dissatisfied 10 return
10 the faith Of their fathers, and once
more ebdeavor TO get the taxpayers out Of
the ''land of Egypt and out Of the house Of
bondage" From the moment the Con-
ventiOn settled who should be our standard
bearers. we paced their names at the
head of the paper with commendatory
notice, and have sustained them in good
faith ever since, and viii do so to the END {;
and we ask the support of every man who
ever claimed to be a Democrat, tn do like
wise. Let there be no stIagglers or growl-
ers in Allegheny county among Democrats

"ALI.'s WE'LL" &C.-A special dispatch
from Chicago to the New York Times
Sept. 29, gives the dencuement of an eloue-
ment in bigh life as follows: About a
year ago the upperten6om of Montreal was
shocked to learn that a young civil eugi-
neer, DiS dyes by name. a son of e. J.
Brydges, Government Railway Inspecior.
had elopeG with Mrs. Mackenzie, wife of a
prominent merchant and niece of Sir Hugh
Allen, "A wealthy steamship owner They
look with them her litter daughter about
five or six years of age. The runaway pair
were traced to New York and thence TO
Philadelphia. In the latter city they were
oveihauled by the friends of Mis- Macken
ze. 1t was asserted by both that they were
guIlt,css of crime o. her than The elnpement
Brydges claimed that lie was actuated only
10y platonie affection for the laGv. and
she on her part stated that her home had
become SO distastetul to her chat she could
no longer reside in it. Through the inter
veuton of friends, Mrs. Mackenzie returned
to Montreal where her husband consented
to a separation. After having been a nine
days wonder in the society of Montreal the
scandal died out. 1t was yesterday revived
in measure in this city. Some time dur
ing the early summer Mrs. Mackenzie came
to Chicago and made her home at the
Grand Pacific Hotel On the 2d of June
she filed a bill for a divorce against her
husband, William U. Mackenzie The pa
pers we're suppressed. Yesterday the suit
was dismissed in Judge Williams court at
the instance of Mrs. Mackeuzie's LAWYERS
and at her cost. The old love may have
conquered, aud the twain are no longer
two, but one.
