THE Democrats have resorted to the
agency of boasting and Dragging over the
political situation of Ohio with despera-
tion that betrays their anxiety regarding
the result Meanwhile they get crumb
of comfort now and then from the spiritless
and disgruntlod statements of such alleged
Republican journals as the New Yorll Times,
over which they make a great noise, and
out of which they get a little short lived
consolation. But it seems to be the especial
nyocation of the Times nowadays to give
comfort, if not aid, to .he enemy.

FATAL ETHER.

surgical operation Of painful and peculiar ma
ture resulted yesterday In the death Of beautiful
and accomplished young lady. Miss Kate E. Farm
ham was twenty-eght years OF age and resided with
her parents in Owego, N. Y. She appeared to be
physically strong. but walked with a slight
lmping gait. None but her parents and
other near relatives. and those who had
known her when child, were aware, however.
of the great afiiction which she had during her
adult years carefully concealed from her most ipti
mate friends. She was born with maformation of
the feet. As she grew to womanhood. by long and
painful training, she had succeeded in acquiring
comparatively steady motion; but latterly walking
became painful that the least exercise during tho
day would keep her from sleep all night. Eight
months ago she to this city and went to reside
with married sister No. 100 East Thirty first street.
Here the most delicate attention paid to her
fortunate condition and for time she seemed to be
able TO move about with ease. A recurrence of the
pains that racked her set in and she was compelled to
keep to the house. In this extremity she came to
the determination to consult surgeon Acting Npon
this resolution she applied to Dr. Stephen smith. of
West Forty-sccond street. who after care

the rain which came down during the afternoon.
But the efforts Of n small squad. however energetic

SUED BY A CHINAMAN.

John Jasong. an almond-eyed native of the Flow
cry Kingdom, commenced an action, a few weeks
ago. against Patrick White at present residing at tho
Picrrepont House. Brooklyn. to recover s2o5. Ja-
song. who claims 10 be resident of No. ~ Baxter
street. alleged that tho amount named had been
given by him to Mr.. White. to deposit with other
money in savings bank where Jasong kept an
count The defendant who arrested st the time the
complaint was made, was Immediately admitted TO
bail Motion was made yesterday by counsel for
Mr. White before Judge Reynolds, of the Brooklyn
CITY Court that the order OF arrest be vacated and
that the plaintiff give security for costs aud be ex-
amned before the trial of the action before referee
Defendant sets forth in the moving papers upon
which the motion to vacate the arrest IL made that
the plaintf is pagan and has no regard for the
soemnity or sanctity OF an osth. He denies that he
owed Jasong any money, and all the allegations
against him. Counter afndavts were read to show
that Jasong Is sober, Industrious man. The coun-
sci for tho plaintiff stated to the Court that though
his client Is Chinsinan he Is entitled 10 the same
rights as white man. Judge Reynolds smiled
down beniguly from his seat upon the bench, as he
remarked to the lawyer, fourteen days from now
may possibly tell different story"
The motion TO vacato was denied

CAPE HAYrI. Feb. Is, 1879.
For the past week the citizens of this place have
been in fearful state Of excitement and alarm
caused by the news of fresh outbreak
The troops here kept under arms day
and night, ready for active service at 0
moments notice. while all the volunteers arc
forced to take up and do patrol duty at night
saffron, San Michel and La Roche have surrendered
to the government forces. Boisrond Canal received
personally the submission of San Michel Morency
and all his sccompces hiding in the woods.
General Mentor Nicholas rendered his resignation
to the President but it not accepted President
Canal saying that he could not allow him to resign
at such q critical moment, his services much
needed-though he would have objection to
his retiring from service little later. The
President has taken Nicholas to the capital with him.
aud his (Nicholas) family has taken refuge in the
cipal being that he is suspected Of being foremost
stirring up revolt for hls own account-and no
vet knows what Is in store for him.
To-day Hayti is divided into number of small
parties and although they do sometimes unite, yet
the chiefs do not lose sight Of their personal
views--these being generally the attainment of q
government position in which they by all
of and abuse Of the power in their hands
acquire a fortune in short time.
In proclamation issued by the government two
days since all citizens requested to be in their
houses before o'clock in the evening, as the
authorities cannot be responsible for the lives of
persons traversing tho streets after that hour.
