people here, who have no one in either
branch of Congress to defend them, such
department in the Senate toward our peo.
pie may by some bo considered chivalrous
and statesmanlike.
During tho rebellion the District of Co.
lumbia furnished Is per cent more soldiers
to defend the Union in proportion to It's
population than the State of Vermont, and
during the first seven years Of the internal
revenue law the District of Columbia paid
S3,oOo,39I.T rs taxes in support Of the
United States Government; while during
the same time Vermont contributed, from
the same source, only 81, ,8O9, ,39749 But the
people Of Vermont at that time, rs now
had two Senators and three Representa-
tives in Congress, which enacted these laws
while the District of Columbia is denied the
privilege of one Delegate TO the House Of
law making.
What we maintain is that over the af-
fairs of this District Congress has exclusive
legislative control, but that We as people
have the right to choose Representative
and thus become part Of the Congress
which exercises such exclusive legislation
1t is right it is in harmony with our insti-
tutions and theory of government, and it is
absolute tyranny to deny it us. If this is
government of the people, by tho people,
and for the people, then the same rule in
this respect should apply to this loyal and
intelligent community of citizens of the
United States residing in the District OF
Columbia

AN APPEAL TO CoNGREss,

The action Of the Senate on Saturday, in
rejecting the section of the bill reported by
the District Committee providing for the
election Of n Delegate to Congress by the
100000 to 100000 tax-paying American
citizens Of the District Of Columbia, is n
striking evidence Of the indifference mani
Tested by Congress toward the real wishes
OF our people, and Is also startling blow
at the very foundation of the PRINCIPLES
upon which our vast Republic is erected.
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
1t provoked the revolution of our fathers,
aud its persistent enforcement in this rap
idly-growing community will inevitably
produce disagrccable consequences.
The people Of the District of Columbia
are American citizens, endowed under the
Constitution with the same inalicnable
rights as the citizens OF any other portion
of our common country, and under the same
charter they are amenable to the same du-
ties and penalties. They pay the same
amount Of revenue TO support the General
Government as u like number of citizens

II the late Senator MoRToN had been in
the Senate on Saturday when the District
b i was being discussed, the section provid-
ing for representative in Congress from
the District would not have been stricken
out. He would have championed the cause
of our people with such vigorous logic as
would have abashcd any Senator who pro-
posed to disfranChsc this community of
taxpayers. We are somewhat surprised
that his successor did not receive inspira-
tion from his seat, and advocate with ability
the genuine Democratic doctrine that taxa
tion and representation shall 20 hand in
hand-even in the District of Columbia.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Western ex-

Commerce-credits the defeat OF the propo-
sition to place General SHIELDS on the PEN
sion-list to the fact that 81 the credit of this
movement belongs to STILLsoS HUrCH-

alton of SHIELDS by the Democracy as
sham, and, speaking of the project to re-
elect him to the Senate, says:
For two weeks the move to make him Sena-
tor from the third State has been in progress,

seconded II. II is the same old story of lip SER

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.


MARYsvILLE, O., Sept. A.-Our
people-young and old-were shock.
ed on last Friday evening to hear
that Lou Grossenbach had taken pois.
on, and was dead, at the residence of
II. j. King, Esq. The circumstances
surrounding his death are very touch
ing. He was to have been married
about the 1st of August to Miss Dora
King, one Of the most highly-respect-
ed young ladies of our town; but a
few days before the time for the mar
riago, and while they were making
preparations for the event, Miss King
died very suddenly, and Lou was 90
affected by her death that he was al
most, If not completely, crazy for sew.
eral days, aud, though he has never
been himself since, It was thought he
was much better, and getting along
well, and he has been staying in his
drug store for some time. On Friday
afternoon he went to the house OF
Mr.. King, and told Mra. King he had
q headache, and wanted to 20 up
stairs and lie down on Dora's bed.
He did 90, and in . very short time
Mrs. King went up to the room and
found him dead.
He left letter in his room in the
hotel where he boarded stating that
he intended to try to drown his sor-
row by drinking, but that would not
be showing respect for the one he so
dearly loved, and 80 he adopted the
course to end his sorrow at once. He
directed his remains to be buried by
the side Of Miss King, and also
left directions for erecting fine mon
ument at his grave and that Of Miss
King.
Large numbers of our people called
at the residence Of Mr.. King to be-
hold the remains of J. L. Grossen-
bach, . young man of promise, who
came into our midst some three years
ago . stranger, but who, by his cour-
teous manners and strict attention to
business, won large circle Of friends,
who now sadly mourn his untimlely
death.

ED. CAMPBELL, Chairman Of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
has called meeting of the Sachems
at Des Moines. Among others we
learn the State candidates are sum-
moned to the capital. We noticed T..
o. Walker, Esq, Of Bloomfield, DEM
ocratic candidate for Secretary of
State, on his way to Des Moines, to-
day. Evidently something is in the
wind. An effort is to be made to be
consolidate the national and demo-
cratic State tickets. This is what has
caused Campbell to sound his horn
for the assembling Of the democratic
candidates. We suppose the candi-
dates of the nationals have been also
summoned. Is it possible that the
leaders can trade off the voters OF
Iowa thus?
We shall see. A new party that
prides itself upon its faithfulness to
principle, to reform, deliberately
trading with the old democratic par
