PUBLIC sentiment against the infam
GUS law passed by the Ohio Legislature
known as the O'Connor law, which
was intended to exclude soldiers or
phans from the Home, is so over
whelming that the Directors dare not
enforce it. That the Directors 10 vio-
latior of their oath should, in obedi
ence to a just public sentiment, dis
regard it, is the most sweeping con-
demnation that could be pronounced
of its authors. The Cincinnati Gazette
had statement of the condition of
eight children in Noble County, whose
father, ex soldier, had become worth
less, and whose mother was helpless,
the whole being a charge upon the
charitable people of the vicinity. 1t
was fer the care of srch children as
those that the Home was established,
but under the O'Connor law they
could not be received, because both
parents are alive. No pension is re-
ceived, and the children are under
the age of twelve years. But in spite
of the law, as we have said, and be-
cause of its outrageous character, and
and in consequence of public senti
ment, the children have been received
into the Home. Thus the inhuman
policy of Three Fingered Jack and
his Democratic associates in the Dem
ocratic Legislature is defeated. But
the law must be repealed, and the
Legislature that passed it must be re
buked by the people.

AT AN EARLY HOUR Sunday morn
ing the dead body OF an unknown man
was found lying in a thicket on the
Baldwin farm on Woodland Hills, a
quarter of mile beyond the city limits
of Cleveland, 10y a party of hunters.
The coat and vest of the dead man
were unbuttoned and thrown back
revealing CHASTITY hole in the left
breast, undoubtedly caused by a gun
shot. Around the hole the shirt was
black and singed, but there were no
holes in the coat, jacket or vest found
upon the corpse. There were number
of slits upon the lapel of the coat aud 10
other places, but the whole affair re
mains shrouded in mystery. Some
were strongly inclined to the opinion
that the man had committed suicide,
while Others were not. Some thought
the body had been brought there and
hid. There are grounds both for sus-
picion of murder and suicide. The
detectives are busily engaged in work
ing up the case, and is hoped that
their labors may clear up the whole
mystery that now enshrouds the at
fair. The body has been recognized
as that of Joseph Straka.

MISUNDERSTANDING DENocRATIc-EIEcroRAI

THESE be it remembered, are the fig
ures of the most bitter and malignant
Democratic organ in the country. They
give the Republicans a clear majority
of fifty-one electoral votes. Giving
California to the Democrats, there is
still left Republican majority of forty
five. Having worked out this very
simple but inexorable solution, the
editor of the Sna finds himself at some
loss as to what he shall say about it.
Tee conclusion which he has reached
is disbeartening, but there is no escape
from it. and he drops the subject with
the simple remark: at is scarcely
necessary to invite anyboiy's attention
to these figures"
For oLce Mr.. Dana is honest and
right. The meaning of this years
election as premonition of 1880 is un'
mistakablc. And. when Mr.. Charlie:
4. Dana of the Sua gives it up, the
Democracy may be sure the future i:
locking very blue, indeed.

Mrs. jerks, that mighty Louisiana
female politician is after Ben. Hill.
He had the temerity to write a letter
about her which was published in New
Orleans, in which the following occurs:
sin Mr.. Hayes case, Agnes jerks,
confessing her guilt in brazen gibber-
ish never before equaled, receives an
office of good pay and little work in

bands slain in battle, were rudely
turned away with the gruff answer,
"No vacancies" So crime is reward

OF course Agnes was provoked at
this and responded to the Hon. Ben
Hill. She concludes as follows:

THE "SAFE MANo UNEARTHFD.

As will be seen by the telegram
which we reprint this morning, the
New York Tribune has treed the 'safe
man" who went down from New York
to Baltimore on the 30th of November,
1876, with the $50, 900 to be given to
Smith Weed to be used in buying the
electoral vote of South Carolina for
TiIden. The case is now developed to
an absolute certainty. It will be re-
membered that in the cipher kilograms
already translated By the Tribune, Weed,
who had been sent down to manipulate
SouthCarolina in the interest of Tilden.
he telegraphed to New York that he
would need $50, 600 to bribe the Board
of Canvassers at Columbia, aud speci-
fed that it should be sent to Baltimore
'.in three packages" by some safe man
whom he would meet there and receive
the money. Accordingly, on Satur-
day night, the 18th of November,
Weed left Columbia for Baltimore,
where he arrived on Monday morning,
and put up at Barnum's Hotel, where
he registered his full name The Trib-
uae now discovers by the register of
the Mount Vernon Hotel. a small, out
of the way tavern in Baltimore, that
Peiton arrived there on the same Mon
day, November Goth, by the early
morning train from New York. He
was accompanied By a friend, and
about 10 o'clock in the morning the
two took a carri, ge and drove away.
Before noon this 'friend" was seen
with Weed at Barnum's Hotel.
Now, will some of the papers which
undertake to believe that Tilden knows
nothing aboat the cipher conspiracy
explain:
1. What Mr.. Tiiden's private Secre-
tary met Mr. Weed in Baltimore for.
and why did be stop at an obscure
hotel and sneak round as il to avoid
being seen?
2. Does not the testimony show
conclusiyely that Pelton was the safe
man who met Weed according to the
now clearly exposed planl
3. Who gave Pelton his instructions
what to tell Wed, and where did be
get the money that he took down
there to give him? What living man
in the United States except Mr.. TiIden
on the Doth of November. 1876, who
would have been likely to put up $50,
coo with which to buy the Presiincy
What other man was there III the con
spiracy who could have commanded
that sum, or, If he could, would have
been willing to spend it for such a
desperate chance of securing Presi-
dency? Surely not Pelton himself, nor
Weed, nor Coylr. for they were oil
poor knaves, cipheriug for their daily
bread. Not Mr.. Marble, for he wa:
also too poor, and moreover, was in
Florida at the time. Who furnished
money! Will Mr.. Tilden call upon his
bankers to show his private account fol
