A Youns wOslan's Suicide.

CATsKILL, N. Y, July 29.-The resi-.
dents Of Windham, Green county, are
much excited by the suicide Of lady
we'll known there, named Georgiana
Nichols, about "a years old. 1t is stated
that for some time she had been re.
ceiving the addresses of Frank Bump,
and that, although they we're engaged
to be married, no time had been set for
the ceremony.
Last Sunday he called upon her a.
usual, and they spent the evening
pleasantly together At her grandmoth-
er's residence. After Mr.. Bump had gone,
she went to her brothers. room, where
he was slesping, and took his revolver
from his trunk, and stole quietly back
to her own room. She wrote scme-
what incoherent letter, apparently to
her brother.
1t commenced thus: 81 write this TO
inform you that want to rid''- Here
she seemed to have hesitated, but, con &.
tinuing, wrote: II think must be q
great trial to grandmother and Frank;
and 1have SO few clothes. But it is
mockery to write more, so goodbye"
To all all appearances: after she wrote
the letter she undressed and crept into
bed. Putting the muzzls of the revol-
yer to her head she blew her brains out.
One of the inmates of the house en-
tered her room at s A. M. yesterday.
and found her dead, with blood and
brains spattered over the bed clothing
and the right hand holding revolver,
dropped by her side. The physician
who examined her thought she had
been dead about an hour.
Every effort was made by her friends
to keep the matter quiet, they not even
desiring the presence of Coroner. The
Core ner's jury has rendered verdict
Of death by suicide. 1t is stated that
Miss Nichols desired to get married
right away, but Mr.. Bump favored de-

A WASHINGTON special to the Boston
Advertiser says certain Southern Democrats
have an important political plan OH hand
looking to changing the method of selecting
electors for President in the States OF Miss
issippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and Flor
ida. General Chalmers appears thus far to
have been the most active man in il. The
fact has Just become known that confer
ence of two or three Southern Democrats
from each of the States named was held IN
Washington few days before the national
executive committee met, and the subject
was considered. General Chalmers insisted
that it was of vital Importance that the
question of selection of Democratic electors
in those four Southern States should be
placed beyond any doubt while the Democ-
racy of those States were in a position to
control it absolutely. While he did not
himself doubt that all of these States would
go Democratic, there were unpleasant and
unfavorable signs in his own State OF the
independent movement, which they were
now trying to put down, becoming strong
taxable indications that vigorous effor;s
would be made in South Carolina and Flori-
da to reorganize the Republican party. In
Louisiana it was already strong. There was
one way in which Democrats could render
their own success certain, whatever the Re-
publcans might do, and that was to have
the Legislatures which meet next winter
provide for the appointment of electors
by the Legislature instead of by vote OF
the people, Where no regular meeting OF the
Legislature is to be held the coming winter
he proposes to have the Governors call extra
sessions. The plan received strong support
among those whom General Chalmers gath
cred to consider it. When the National
Executive Committee met, although it re-
ceived informal attention, it was not deemed
expedient to give the plan any prominence
or publicity just at present.
The Portland daily press., 1879-09-27

AN old gentleman by the name OF Taylor,
who was native of Philadelphia and did
business there until 1870, where he acquired
fortune, is in Washington, and has COM
municated to the Attorney General in writ
in, an extraordinary story. The substance
of it is that Mr.. Taylor few years ago left
Philadelphia and practically created the vii
lage of West Virginia. He built mills, a
church, schoolhouse, and generally made the
place what it is, expending very much more
than 100000 there. 1t has always been
difficult for him to live there, for the reason,
as he states in his letter, that the people
said he was a d---d Yankee and they had
no use for him. Lately, Mr. Taylor informs
the department, the neighbors have burnt
his mills; his shops and much of his proper
ty, and have torn down his fences, and he
asks if the general governmant can protect
him, inasmuch as the local authorities have
refused any assistance.
