Could render them no assistance as it
was blowing heavy and the ship was
on lee shore with all sails blown away.

GOVERNMENT affairs in Washington
have been attended to very faithfully
even though the president and part of
the cabinet have been absent a portion
of the time. When the appeals for ra-
tions came from the suffering districts
the secretary of war promptly needed.
When riot was threatened by Cohen
and his crazy followers, troops were in
stantly gathered in such force as to
awe the would-be rioters. Financial
measures have been systematically car
ried out. When new postmasters and
postal arrangements were necessary in.
the South, the assistant postmaster
general attended to the matter at once
and the people were not deprived of
any mail service. Indeed everything
pertaining to the government has been
faithfully carried on and neglect is
something that cannot be rightfully
charged.

GEN. BUTLER displayed good gene
ralship when he captured the Massa-
chusetts democratic convention: In
just ten minutes after he had secured
the hall and closed the doors, rations Of
crackers, sandwiches and wet groceries
were served to all present. The COM
missary had enough provisions in the
hall to last several days. No wonder
the republicans, and democrats too,
are afraid of him.

A Man Who should Get Ten Years In the
Penltentiary.

steubenville Gazette Of Saturday.
One OF the boldest attempts TO perpe-
trate heinous crime upon respectable
girl in this or any other community &C.
CURED last evening between half-past five
and six o'clock, in the upper part OF town.
The victim was servant girl, and has
always borne good reputation as quiet,
respectable woman. Yesterday she re-
ceived her pay and started to the house Of
q seamstress on Logan street, to attend to
some business in reference to dress she
was having made. On her return, before
it was yet entirely dark, she was accosted
by one Robert Cullen near the corner Of
Sixth and Logan streets, who desired to
see her home. Not desiring his company
she declined, and lie persisting in thrust
ing his attentions on her she ran out Sixth
and down Ross street.
He ran down Logan and up Fifth, catch
ing her at the corner Of Fifth and Ross,
but she got away and he pursuing her still
up Fifth street caught her again at the cor
ner OF Madison avenue. He dragged her
along the street into vacant lot, where,
notwithstanding her screams and strug-
giles, he threw her down and would have
succeeded in accomplishing his purpose,
had not William Robinson, who was 60
ing down Madison avenue, been attracted
by the noise, and going towards the lot
discovered the parties. Cullen fed, pur-
sued by Robinson, TO the house OF John
Evans, on North Fifth street, when Rob-
inson turned his. attention to the girl an d
an almost distracted condition. Mr.. Rob-
inson then went to the Mayors office
where an affidavit was fled against Cullen
for attempted rape. Officers Hawkins and
Carter were dispatched and arrested Cullen
at Evans. He will have hearing on
Monday ct 10 o o'clock A. N.
