proportions of the republican vote. Mr.. Cornell
belongs to that pretty numerous order of men who
are remarkable nothing in particular. unless it
the respectable medocrity of their character and
abilities There is possible reason to be found in
his own capacity or achievements why he should be
made Governor of the State of New York any more
than there any reason why he should have twice

nklins has chosen to make Mr. Cornell tho depos-

been said which is needed to explain Mr.. Cornell's
public career.
A MISTAKE FATAL To REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS.
From tho Commercial Advertiscr.l
mistake on Wednesday will almost be fatal to
publican prospects next year; therefore. the very
strongest ticket that can must be nominated 1t
must be manifest to everybody that Mr.. Cornell is
not to be ranked among such candidates Granted
that his services to the party have been many aud
great-still there is opposition to him which will
drag ticket he heads Outside of tho opposition
TO him. which is in the party itself-among men who
vote any but the republican tcket-still an
other element enters to oppose him which must be
taken into calculation this year. Mr. Cornell is and
has been tor identified with corporations, and
such association this year is to exert an influence
which it would DO folly to ignore. The farmers are
greatly exercised on the transportation question,
and il the republicans refuse consult them. or to
defy them by nominating somebody who is notori-
ously in ailiation with tho corporations, why tnen
so much tho worse for tho republicans.

Well.) close friends. had an annual
dining, and at each yearly return,
death left one or more vacant plates,
but. the plates of the dead were spread
at t he table, also the vacant chair, and
the sparkling wine, and toasts were
drank as if the dead were to respond.
Years rolled on, until few years ago
fine last man sat at the table, and nine
teen empty plates, and vacant chars
but wine at each plate. In silence the
last man" ate and drank, and tears. and
heavy signs, and sad thoughts, were his
only companions and next year the
table was spread but no one was there
to eat-the last man had died-and the
table was spread-never more.
These thoughts crowded into our
mind on reading a brief Sin memoriam'
in the Favette Chronicle, recording the
death of Count Wallace" In the
baronial days of Jefferson and Clai,
borne, more particularly in the third
and fourth and fifth decades of this
century, Count Wallace was of all per-
sons the most essential, for to every

tion of nonchalance In manner the
graceful and manly hauteur Of the
Southern planter-the rollicking dare
devil Kentuckian-and the staggering
but elegant Sir Mulberry Hawk, were
all blended in Count Wallace. The

both dead. We feel in recording his

BarbarOus OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES An-
fidelity Among The Pi"tes'


eft will be remembered that few
woel,s ago johnson Sides, the Frank
town Piute: called on the Governor Tor
advice MS to what course to pursue to
oct hack an old aunt of his who ran
away to California with another Plute,
deserving her aged husband and chill,
dren. Well, johnson told the Appeal
Yesterday that the recreant aunt had
been returned to Nevada several days
ago by two young Piutes who were Sc
cretly sent out to search for her. The
old mahala was found in the vicinity OF
Colfax, California, enjoying a rather
late day honeymoon. She returned
to her friends very reluctantly; in fact
the Young bucks were compelled to use
physical force, as she would not be IN
huenced by moral suasion. Sides
aunt is now at point near Pyramid
lake, and she will be tried by number
of her tribe for infdelity, which is
looked upon as the most serious OF
crimes bv the Piutes. They can for
give anything but infidelity on the
part of a mahala. Sides thinks that
her conviction is now settled thing.
The punishment will be of the most
barbaric nature. The left arm and leg
will be tied to one horse and the right
leg and arm to another; then the ami
mails will be driven in different dlrec-
tions. tearing the woman in two. We
do not know that similar case has ever
occurred in this State, but there is no
doubt if this punishment is carried out
it will bring terror to the hearts OF the
duskv Piute maidens, and will have the
effect of keeping them well within the
matrimonial traces"
