A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
How Governor Hoffman Met the Attempt to
Use the Army at the Polls In New York.

On the 7th of November, 1870,
the city OF New York was more
deeply excited than at any other
time In Its recent history. It was
the dsy preceding the general cleo
tion of that year, and orders had
gone forth that the metropolis
should be invaded by Federal
troops, the laws of the State ig-
nored, and the rights of the people
placed at the mercy of John 1. Dav-
enport and a reckless crowd of Su-
pervisors aud Deputy Marshalls.
In the harbor lay two gun-boats,
furnished by the notorious Robe
son, and threatening to open fire
on the business portion of the
town.
The State was at perfect peace
and its laws were respected and en-
forced. No man could vote unless
he had appeared in person at the
designated places at least ten days
before aud registered his name, an
swering under oath the questions
that were put in reference to his
residence and qualifications. All
that the Republicans had asked in
the way of increased stringency to
the election acts had been conceded
by the Dem mocratic Legislature The
inspectors and judges had been
fairly chosen from both parties,
under the direction of non.par-
tizan Police Commission. No Off
Ger of the State or city, high or low,
Republican or Democrat, had asked
for the interference OF the Federal
troops, but au army was there un-
der command Of u Brigadier-Gen.
eral of regulars, to conduct an elec-
tion.
Never before had such u reckless
attempt been made to invade the
vested rights of the people, and it
is sale to say IL will never he made
again The promptness and brav-
cry with which it was met aud r, :
PEELED by Governor Hoffman served
as a warning to President Grant.
The Governor repaired to the city
aud quietly but firmly announced
that II the Federal troops appeart d
on the streets on election day they
would he met hy the Nationa'
Guard, who would pro- ect the peo-
pie at all haz.,d-. This was no
idle threat. Ample preparations
we're made for u conflict, which
seemed at that time inevitable. I.
How ample these prepara iou-
were, the following document,
which is now made public for tie
first time, will show:

4 Lady's Reasons for not DANCING.

!. Dancing wouli lead mo into
crowded rooms and late hours, which
arc injurious to health aud useful,
ncss.
2. Dancing would lead mo into
very close contact with very PERM
cious company, and evil communica-
tons cOrrup; good msnners.
3. Dsucine would require me to
use and permit freedom with the oth>
or sex Of which should be Heartily
ashamed, and which believe to bo
wrong.
4. My parents and friends would
DO anxious about me if I were out
late, keeping company with, they
know not whom.
5. Mibistcis and good peoplc in
general d,sapprove Of dancing, aud
think IL is not safe to Set myself q.
grinst them. TIA thing DO even
doubtful, 1 wish to DO on the safe
side.
6. Dancing has a bad name, and
mean to study things that are pure
and lovely aud OF good report.
Z. Dancing is generally accom-
panied with drinking, aud | see
drinking produces great deal Of
evil.
8. | am told that dancing is q
great temptation and snare to young
men, and do not wish to have any
thing to do with leading them away,
o. Dancing units the mind for
serious reflections and prayer, and 1
mean to do nothing that will es-
TRANCE me from Iny God and Savior.
10. There are plenty Of graceful
exercises and cheerful amusements
which have none OF the objections
connected with them that lie against
dancing.

Then he won't down and jumped of

nine little children, incautiously re-
quested her husband, who had drop
ped in a moment on his way to GO,
drink, to bring in few kindllus

without saying a word. but the poor
woman says she we'll never forget
till her dying day, the troubled look
he wore. Rendered uneasy by his
prolonged absence, sho went to the
woodshed only to fnd his bleeding
and lifeless remains on the floor
He had blown his brains out will
