There seems now to be little doubt
that the Democrats will carry Ohio in
October, when a Governor is to be
elected, and Legislature, which will
elect a United States Senator. The
platform upon which the Democrats will
contest the State will favor local self
government in the South; the remone-
tization of silver; opposition to Secre-
tary Sherman's policy of forced con-
traction and speedy specie resumption,
and a revision Of the present unwise
and oppressive tariff. The Democrats
are pretty solidly united on this plat
form, while the Republicans are di-
vlded between the bloody shirt howlers
Or the Western Reserve class and the
conservative element OF the party
which sustains the Southern policy 81

Convention is ts be held at Columbus

TURNING STATES EVIDENCE.

Kellogg, in his testimony yesterday
before the committee of the Legislature
engaged in investigating the admins
tration of the Auditors Office, states
that he took the necessary precautions
before cancelling the bonds Of the Tax
Collector of the First District. On
reference to the order of cancellation,
it is of the date Of December 10, 1876.
Kellogg further states that when he
left the Office of Governor, "sth JAN
uary, 1877, he did not know how Fol-
gers accounts STOOD" In other words
he cancelled his bonds without knowing
how his accounts stood, but adds that
he never cancelled any tax collector s
bonds when he was a defaulter.
The responsibility for the appoint
ment of Fulton in the place Of Folger,
he places on Antoine. OF course, he,
kellogg, knew nothing of it, being in
New York! Possibly he did not know
that Fulton was a partner Of J. 8. Clark,
though he confesses to such familiarity
with Clark as to borrow money from
him. He was profoundly ignorant OF
the existence OF partnership between
Folger and Clark! He did not know
what was known to every man, woman
and child in the city-that Folger was
not even full partner but merely a

liabilities which reduced its income.
Despite all these obstacles, under the
successive administrations OF DR.. Mer-
GER, Of Mr.. Casey Duncan, OF d. T..

tuition has managed 10 maintain it's SOL
vency and it's hold upon the public con-
adence, and now under the presidency
Of that sagacious and prudent citizen,
David Urquhart, makes an exhibit,
which cannot be surpassed by any sim
liar institution in the country, Of solid
and prosperous condition and Of wise
and efficient administration.
From this exhibit it will be seen that
the New Orleans Savings Institution
has in deposits $2,132.694, upon which
it pays an annual interest Of six per
cent, and that these deposits are se-
cured by mortgages and loans Of
the most unexceptionable character.
Among these assets we note especially
the amount of 1928, $50 Of State consols,
which were purchased by Mr.. Urqu-
hart at rates which must enure largely
to the profit Of the institution. The
other securities held by the institution
are OF like solid and safe character.
They illustrate the admirable judy
ment and sagacity Of its present man
ayers, and especially Of it's patriotic
president, who is so we'll supported and
aided in the management by the popu-
lar and courteous cashier, Mr.. Charles

The Crescent City Railroad Company

The Crescent City Railroad Company
having raised the point that the extern
sion of the track of the New Orleans,
st. Louis and Chicago Railroad, as pro-
posed, to connect the main line with the
river, will materially interfere with the
operations of the Crescent City line on
the hundred yards it traverses on Water
street, it would be best, perhaps, for
the Mayor to direct the City Surveyor
to examine into the facts, and make an
immediate report. The objects to be at
tanned by this extension are too impor-
tant to the public interests to be de-
layed, unless there are real and serious
objections to it, or clearly vested and
important rights will be thereby i'm
paired.

Capture of Western Road Agents.

A Cheyenne (Wyoming) dispatch gives
the following account of the operations
and subsequent capture of couple of
bold highwaymen 1.-The coach that
left Deadwood Tuesday morning, COM
ing south, was stopped and robbed last
night within three miles of this post by
two armed men, supposed to be Black
burn and Wall, the notorious road
agents. There were seven passengers
on the coach, among whom was United
States Marshal Sweesy. The robbers
took everything of any value that could
be found-money, jewelry, blankets and
overcoats. The same men, about day
light this morning, robbed a freight out
fit, consisting of four wagons, taking all
the blankets they had. They took from
a Chinaman who was with the train
everything he had, and then admins
tered sound thrashing with the team
ster's whip. Lieut. Chase, with de-
tachment of the Third Cavalry, accom-
panied by William Reid, all experienced
man at tracking thieves and catching
them, started this morning at daylight
in pursuit of the thieves, and followed
them nearly all day, hearing of them
often just ahead, they having robbed six
different men during the day. They
finally captured the men twelve miles
above the Government farm and about
thirty-six from Fort Laramie. A hot
chase was kept up for about five miles
after the robbers discovered their pur-
suers. They threw away a gun and
some heavy articles in their fight, and
were finally brought to bay by several
shots being fired at them, and surren-
dered. They are now in the guard
house at this post. One of them is
identified as Webster, the murderer Of
Deputy Sheriff Quincy. They would not
give their names, telling the officer of
the day that they had a dozen names
each, and that there was no use in giving
any names. The two gray horses they
rode are identified as two horses that
belonged to the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage Company, and were stolen
from them some time ago.

Why Soldiers Are Apt to Kill the
Wounded.

A correspondent (Mr. A. Ell. Christie)
sends us the following observations on
the cross charges of barbarism in the
field made by the Turks on the one side
and the Russians on the other: "I find
floods of indignation poured upon either
the brutal Turks Or savage Russians for
their alleged practice of stabbing the
wounded. Now, sir, till you can bind
over wounded man to abstain from en-
deavoring to return that wound, it seems
to me unreasonable to expect the wound
Ell to refrain, by an extra prod, from
making the wounded perfectly safe. IF
[ am gallant Turkish full private,
struck down by the lance Of Cossack,
my first impulse, if I am not seriously
injured and my rifle is still loaded, is to
discharge that rife at the Cossack as he
rides on after having knocked me over.
The Cossack, unless he is particularly
great fool, knows my feeling, by sympa-
thy, and will naturally, by a second
prod, outrage all the finer feelings Of
the whole race Of special correspond
ents, and at the same time secure him
self against my natural impulses. It is
really curious to observe how Shrek
ingly tender-hearted we have grown of
late times; of course, I merely mean
when our own interests are not con-
cerned. The late Lord Macaulay was a
man not devoid of kindly and hearty
feelings, but what are the words he puts
into the mouth Of Bind-their-K ings-in-
d-their-nobles-in -links-of- iron-
Obadiah, sergeant in Ireton's regiment?
Ho comrades, scour the plain,
And, ere ye strip the slain,
First give another stab TO make your search secure
Then shake from sleeves and pockets
The broad pieces and lockets,
The tokens of the wanton the plumber of the poor.

death-then she dropped, and died |"
The speaker paused for brief pc
nod, and [ did not feel disposed to
break the silence by any obtrusive ques-
tons.
Presently he resumed of his own &C
cord, and said "Let me be silent on
my loss. My friend Marcus, with ten
der sympathy and brotherly love, &C
companled me home after his sisters
funeral, and remained with me for many
months. 1 have sought consolation in
change of scene-in the pursuit of avo-
cation. was young man at the period
when this fatal adventure took place !;

but | yet retain distinct and vivid rec
objection of my loss, which time has
failed to obliterate from my memory"
Paul Halter leaned back on the messy
bank upon which he was seated, and
heaved deep sigh. [ strove. by every
means In my power, to dispel the melan-
choly to which he was subjected, and in
some measure succeeded. I continued
to be his companion while I remained at
Ems. Upon my taking leave of the
pretty watering-place Halter accompa-
MED me for some miles on my Journey.
He was, at this time, cheerful and COM
posed. When | returned, some three
years afterward, my attention was di-
rected to tombstone in the churchyard.
On this was inscribed
"To THE MEMORY OF PAUL HALLER.

The Alleged Russian Atrocities.

Mr.. Archibald Forbes, the great war
correspondent, is now in Scotland, re-
covering from the effects of his campaign
in Bulgaria. He has been invited to
Balmoral by Her Majesty. Although
he was with the Russians, he is not pro-
Russian in his political views. But he
emphatically states that all tales respect
ing Russian atrocities" are untrue, and
that, so far as he could discover, no
Turkish woman was ever maltreated by
Russian soldier. This evidence of a
man who, more than any one else,
has had au opportunity to test the
truth of Russian atrocities" is i'm
portant.

Gov. Stanford's, and left for walk be-
fore dinner. The bill can be purchased
for 10 per cent. at the house. It is a
really excellent counterfeit, and can be

The Silver RiIlS.

The New York Herold's Washington
correspondent says the silver people
think they have pretty sure thing of il
in both houses, and yet they are proba-
bly, mistaken. There are good many
silver men, but they are of many minds.
Some OF the most eccentric would vote
with Senator Jones to make the dollar
unlimited legal tender, and have it coined
at the mint like gold. Others, however,
are vehemently opposed to this as ex-
tremely impolitic, and dangerous as well
as dishonest, but they would agree to a
measure such as Secretary Sherman is
also believed to favor, recalling all legal
tender notes under S. and issuing silver
dollars in their stead, making these dol
lars legal tender up to $40, or perhaps
500, and receivable for public dues up
to that amount. Between these two
kinds of silver men there is an irrecon-
cilable difference, for the latter believe
the former seek for measure which is
In Its nature fraudulent AMI injurious to
the country.

And smooths the boisterous wave.

From worldly toll and strife,
To seek that bliss, that endless bliss
Which rules the Christians life.

PICTURES OF MEMORY.
BY ALICE CARY.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wal
Is one Of dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistietoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkIe the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coduetting all day with the sCnbeams,
. And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslp,
1t seemeth to me the best.
once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep.
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We royed there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And, one of the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And, when the arrows OF sunset
Lodged IN the tree-tops bright,
he fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.
