Attacked with Tetanus.

On July 9th, Frank, little son of
Thomas Wood, while handling a toy
pistol containing blank cartridge, it
was accidentally discharged, and a
portion of the copper entered his left
hand. Immediately after the acci-
dent remedies were applied to the
wound, and il commenced to heal
rapidly. On Saturday evening about
10 o'clock, he complained of feeling
unwell, and as he continued to grow
worse DR.. Maxwell was summoned
and prescribed for the little sufferer.
Later in the night he was seized with
spasms, which have continued at in
tervals ever since. Yesterday he COM
menced to froth at the mouth and the
spasms grew more frequent and vio-
lent. Towards evening his neck be-
gan to stiffen and also his jaws. Then
it was discovered that he was attacked
with ,etanus, or lockjaw. He was
still living at 8. 80 o'clock this morn
ing, but there are no hopes of his re-
covery, as the physician has done all
in his power to alleviate his sufferings.

PARTY ISSUES.

Mr.. EDITOR The main question
at issue between the two ruling par
ties of this Government in the early
establishment of the present form OF
government, was the question of
tariff or no tariff. One party was in
favor Of a tariff being levied on GER
tain classes of imported goods, to
prevent manufacturers and capital
lists in other governments from over
stocking our home market with these
goods, to be sold at prices below
what our manufacture could afford
to produce the same articles for.
And that party was called the Whig
party /; and that party being no lon
ger in existence, it now becomes
them who believe in honorable pro-
lection to all classes of business
(that is, conducted honestly to inves-
tigate into the opinions Of the pres
ent party leaders, to find out if pos
sible their sentiments on the tariff
question ; and you being a Democrat,
Inow take the liberty to call your
attention to this question for the
purpose of gaining information both
from the leaders of your party and
from the leaders of the Republican
party on the tariff, so that 1 as one
tax payer may know which side to
vote for to vote my true sentiments.
The Negro question is no longer
question at issue, because both
parties have decided it constitutional
to allow the said race to vote in all
the States. Therefore, there is no
use of wasting words referring to the
past events which were instrumental
in bringing about such a great
change; while there are before us
other important questions of interest
to every voter who makes his living
honestly and to the best of his abil-
ity. Now, I claim that the most
important question to be argued be-
fore the public for the good of the
masses, is the tariff question and it
is question that requires much
clear thought from men of clear
minds to determine just what to do
to protect all honest professions
alike in their everyday business, by
which they are enabled to support
themselves and families. You know
it is unjust to pass any law that will
not serve to protect all persons who
may be affected by it in their bust
ness II mean an honest business).
Therefore, how important it is 10
every honest business man to know
who to vote for as his representa-
tives in law making, to govern the
masses. And unless / can find out
the opinions of those who run for
the Offices before election time, how
am 1 to determine who to vote for to
represent my own sentiments in the
profession Of law making2
Now, if am a Whig in sentiment,
and can find no party now truly rep
resenting it, should 1 not try to con-
vince myself of which of the two
existing parties comes the nearest
to the old Whig sentiments !; so that
l may learn to vote for whichever
side that l may think is the nearest
right? INVESTIGATOR.

THE THIRD ARMY CORPS.
TWO THIRDS OF THE OFFICERS SOLID
FOR HANCOCK.

TWO THIRDS OF THE OFFICERS SOLID
FOR HANCOCK.
At the reunion of the officers of the
Third Army Corps, at Cape May, last
week, New York Herald correspond
ent interviewed a number:.of officers as
to their Presidential preferences, with
the following result:
General Sickles said in regard to the
candidacy OF Hancock for President
81 do not think he will be elected
The American people want states
ma for President and Hancock fails
to fill the bill. What has he ever said
or done that entities him to aspire to
the Presidency The Democratic par
ty had plenty of better material for the
Office, and in the course it has taken
has stultified its traditions. AS for
me, have been long since out of poll
tics, and all the wish l have is to see
The country in proper and capable
hands. think it will be safe with
General Garfield and that the present
prosperity will be prolonged and in
creased"
Major John M. Cooney, adjutant of
General Hobart Wards brigade, said:
"Most of the officers of the Third
Corps are for Hancock. Some of them
are disinclined to state their actual
feelings, for personal reasons, but they
favor Hancock all the same"
Major Graham, of Pennsylvania
d:-"Hancock will get the vote of
nine-tenths of the soldiers who fought
in the Army of the Potomac. He will
carry Pennsylvania if there is any
thing like an honest count III Philadel-
phia."
General Gershom H. Mott, of Tren-
ton, N. j., said:-'I am for Hancock,
and believe he will be elected. He is
stronger with the soldier element than
any other man in America, not even
excepting Grant. Outside of those
who hold federal appointments most
of the soldiers will be bound to vote
for Hancock"
Colonel Thomas Rafferty,, of the
Seyenuy-first New York Volunteers,
was outspoken for Hancock, and it
may be safely assumed that two-thirds
of those present at the reunion were
favorably disposed to the Democratic
candidate for President.

EDITORIAL EXPRESSIONS.

Seaford Index Whatever politicians
may say about the independent voter, land
however they may brand him as "man
on the fence" ready to join the party
that promises the most, it must be ad-
uitted that this class of people is the
hope of our nation and the only safe
,uard against the ills that result from
TIE principle that binds men closer to
party than country.
Newark Ledger:-The Democratic
party would do well to let Senator Bay
ard s SPEECH, endorsing the nominations
Of Hancock and English, stand for its
platform. The Senator makes his points
clear and strong, and though the Repub-
lican party were the "Artful Dodger"
himself, it could hardly escape his direct
and vigorous blows.
Dover Sentinel Hancock, the man
who subor,liuates the military TO civil
power, was prepared to help Tilden in a
revolution .ry attempt, and did advise
bis superior officer that under certain
contingencies he would not obey him,
but would obey Mr.. Tilden. Republi
cans can leave this matter where 1t Is.
1t leaves General Hancock In the atti-
tude of being willing to precipitate a
civil war for a partisan purpose.
Delawarean :-Garfield is in the field
vii hout hearty sympathy from any fac
tion of his party and while he may re-
ceive the support of the Republicans
generally his nomination creates 10 ELL
lhusiasm, and he will he supported more
from opposition to Democracy than from
admiration of himself or unity in the
ranks of his supporters.
Middletown Transcript:-It has been
long time since Presidential candi-
date created as much enthusiasm among
the people as Hancock has. There seems
to BIZ magnetism in the very name, and
new recruits from the ranks of the enc
my are f1ocking to the support OF the
Democratic standard bearer by the score.
With every day, the chances for Dem
ocratic victory IN Pennsylvania appear
10 grow better, and thinking Republi-
cans do not dispute that the result in the
keystone State is considerably in doubt.
Ii the Democracy made any mistake in
choosing Hancock and English to lead

surface yet.
