INDIGESTION"
Some Possible DeriyatiOns Of WOmen's
Names.

Annabclla Is not Anna bella or Fair
Anna, but is the feminine of Hanni-
bal, meaning gift, or grace, of Bel -
Arbclla is not Ara-bclla, or bcauti-
ful altar, but Orabilia, q praying
woman. In its Anglici1cd form Of
Orabel, it was much more common in
the thirteenth century than at pres
ent. Maurice has nothing to do with
Mauritius, or a Moor, but comes from
northumberland kingdom
Of heaven. Ellen is the feminine OF
AlaiN, Alan, or Allan, and has no
possible connection with Helen, which
comes from different language, and
is older by thousand years at least
Amy is not from aimee but from
anne. Avice, or Avis, does not cx-
actIy mean advice, as some seem to
think. 1t comes from 4Ed-wiS, and
means happy wisdom. Eliza has no
connection with Elizabeth. IL is the
sister of Louisa, and both are the
daughters OF liGlOlse, which is llc!c-
wis, hid en- wisdom. There is, indeed
another form OF Louisa, or rather
Louise, WnlCn is lIle feminine OF
Louis, but this was scarcely heard of
before the sixteenth century. The
older llelusc form OF the name, Al
oisa, A,oisia, or Aloysia, was adopted
into medieval English, rs Alesia-a
name which our old gcncalogists al
ways confuse with Alice. Emily aud
Amelia are not different forms Of one
name. Emily is from Emylia, the
name Of an Etruscan gems. Amelia
comes from the Gothic amala-hcay-
emily. Re ginald is not derived from
Regina, and has nothing to do with
Queen 1t i, Rein-alt-eXalted puri-
". Alice, Adclais, Adelaide, Alisa,
Alix, Adcline, are all new forms Of
one name, the root of which is adel-
uuUle.-AOteS aud Queries.

We did not suppose for one moment that
our frankness of expression in view of the
Ohio melee and its disturbing influences
upon the campaign would find favor with
the Sanduslly Register We do not expect
our friends in Ohio to see themselves as
Others see them, but after all, their want of
proper discernment does not change the
fact that their usages have established.
But we have no desire to protract q discus
sion of Ohio inirmities, for the reason that
il lie our highest wish and purpose to aid in
and secure the election of an Ohio candi-
date for the presidency, though two con-
secutive terms from the same state is not
usual where denomination does not occur
Some people entertain the idea that this re-
fleets the Intense selfishness" to which we
made allusion, and regard it rs a little self
willed when the act was performed at what
Secretary SHERMAN seems to regard rs
his own sacrifice, aud by those he had
counted on rs his most devoted and self
sacrificing friends. Nevertheless we sin
corely hope for General GARFIELDs cleo
ton, trusting that he may revise policy
which has distinguished Ohio as the first,
if not the last, state to be considered in the
distribution of official favors. We hold
that when a state has the presidency it
should at least be just, if not generous, to
the other members of the family. The
other states should be trusted and honored
to some extent under such circumstances.
1t is very selfish not 10 recognize them
thus far, if no farther. However, we must
defer any further discussion of these mat
ters until after President GARFIELD is de
clared elected We take pleasure in assur-
ing our Ohio cotemporary that The REPUB-
LIcAN is not little of, but strictly in line
of battle.

WHAT IL NA1InNAIIsMa

Nationalism and seclionalism, as inter-
preted by the democratic party, wear
very singular and we may say very in
verted look. They turn everything the
wrong end foremost and upside down.
HANCOCK they say is the national candi-
date for the presidency, while GARFIELD is
the sectional. They contend that BU-
CHANAN was national president, while
LINCOLN and GRANT were sectional. Ac-
cording to their theory of political rela-
tions slavery was national and freedom is
sectional. The war TO destroy the union
was national, while the effort to crush that
war by the national arm was sectional
The firing upon Sumter was national, while
sending relief to that beleaguered garrison
was sectional. The seizing of the arms of
the government and the despoiling of its
navy of its ships of war was national, while
anything like resistance to such depreda-
tions is set down as sectional by the demo-
Gratis. It is regarded as national to de-
prive the republican citizens of the late
rebellious states Of their constitutional
rights by fraud and violence, and the rank
est soctonalism to insist upon free and
untrammeled exercise of the right of suf-
frage and the purity of the ballot-box. 1t
is national to murder "niggers," but section
alism to protest against such outrages
Thus we have presented to us in demo-
cratic theory and practice what is national
ism and what is sectionalism, and the
rebels have put at the head of their column
union general to act MS their interpreter
in the future. Unless the people have lost
their heads and their sense of right, pro-
priety and justice, these dogmas and their
representatives will be remanded to the
rear and these crooked things will be made
straight by the triumphant election OF
GARFIELD and ARTHUR, who represent the
principles and theories of true nationalism
in the light Of the constitution and the
genius and spirit of a republican form OF
government. Unless the dangerous dog
mas of the democratic party are sent to
defeat in this contest, the future of this
nation will be cloudy and uncertain

THE MUD AND ISLANDER MILL.

Ex-Governor SHEPHERD predicts the cleo
tion of HANCOCK. In common with many of
the most devoted supporters of General GRANT,
Governor SHEPHERD is not inclined 10 view
with alarm or deep regret the prospect of
democratic success under such a candidate as
General HANCoCK.-D Democratic Organ.
There is no tangible evidence of the
truth of the above statement-that is, its
publication where it appears is no evil
dence that it is true. But if true, the pre-
diction is no more likely to be well predi-
Gated than the confident prediction, in adj
vance of the convention, of the ex governor
and THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN and
other Jealous friends of General GRANT
that he would be nominated at Chicago.
You can't most always sometimes tell in
advance, you know, when thugs are doubt
ful. Ex-Governor SHEPHERD left the
country some time before the Chicago con-
venton, and was in the bowels of Mexico
when the nominations were made, working
up his bonanza. With his limited knowl-
edge of the condition of public sentiment
in the United States at this time, with his
traditional hatred of the democratic party
which has prosecuted him even unto
strange cities; with his keen sense of the
danger that democratic success would
entail upon the nation, even with HANCOCK
at its head, it is not at all probable that he
has made any such prediction as is inn
puted to him. However, should it prove
correct that Governor SHEPHERD is not
"inclined to view with alarm or regret the
prospect Of democratic success" at this
time, it shows that his political associa-
tions during the last few months of his so
journ in this country were neither fortu-
nate nor profitable. But this presentation of
Governor SHEPHERD in an equivocal politi-
cal attitude at this time is, no doubt, one
of the flbrcations'of the hour, which is put
forth for effect and with little regard for
truth. If he has been misled, however, into
such an utterance, he will change his mind
before next November is over, when the fact
is developed that HANCOCK is covered with
defeat.

wOMAN's RIGHTS.

The New York World, in referring 10
women, presents distinction in the make
up of that blessed class of this worlds COM
forts. 1t speaks of woman women" Just
as if a portion of those earthly angels are
of the other sex. However, we do not
think it can really believe any such thing.
But we digress. The World, in speaking
of "woman Women" says they may now
properly hold another jubilee, for the rea-
son that the secretary of state of New York
has officially promulgated statute in
effect that Acknowledgements and proofs
"of execution of deeds by married women
may be made and certified as if they
"were SOLE" Thirty-six years ago the first
step was taken in New York to emancipnte
women as to their own separate estates by
passing q statute in 1874 ecognizing them.
That step has been followed up by this new
law, which destroys almost the last relic of
common law barbarisms relating to the
legal relations of man and wife, and is an
other advance segment in the wheel of
woman's rights, whose progress is not
stopped at this point Aud yet she is not
happy. The measure of her ambition is
not yet full. There is the right of suffrage,
the right to share in all the duties aud
responsibilities Of the government and other
honors and emoluments yet TO be captured
and secured among the claimed rights OF
the other sex. The advance of this reyolu.
tion in woman's relations is slow, but it is
perceptible. The world moves and bears
on in its progress tardy answers to the
prayers, sghs and tears that are shed over
woman's real or flncied wrongs, but the
movement is not rapidly acceleratng. What
patience and perseverance may effect in
the future time must unfold but we ap-
prehepd that the period is not near Mt hand
when woman will be endowed with the
full measure of political rights that arc
now enjoyed by the other sex.

GENERAL CHESTER A. ARTHUR's letter
Of acceptance of the nomination for vice
president is q very stalwart document. 1t
grapples with the vital questions involved
in this canvass with an iron hand and deals
with them in bold and able manner Even
the democrats, though prone, find it impos.
sible to assail its positions successfully, and
hence they assume more discreet than
valorous attitude toward them. This let
ter of acceptance adds an important chap
ter to the political literature Of the opening
campaign.

REPUBLICAN POLITICAL HAND-Bc

The Hon. HENRY O'CoNNoR has kindly
laid upon our table his republican political
handbook for public speakers and local COM
mittees, for which he will please accept our
grateful acknowledgement glance through
the 10S closely printed pages of this work sat.
ishes us that it forms one of the most compre.
hensive and convenient handbooks for politi.
cal reference relating to the proceedings of the
forty-frth and forty-sixth congresses and the
important political questions involved in that
period now extant.
1t is a careful compilation of tho laws re-
lating to the purity of the elective franchise,
and an intelligent showing Of the manner and
extent to which these laws have been infracted
by the democratic party to secure political ad-
vantage and power. 1t represents the sngu-
lar aud very repreh ensible conduct Of demo-
cratic congress in its eho rts to abrogate those
laws aud break down the barriers that the
statutes have placed between them and their
opon violation. 1t represents in worry clear
and succinct manner the democratic pro.
gramme which was invented ia the south aud
has been encouraged and nur sed by the demo.
Gratis of the north to overthrow those laws
1t spreads before the reader the action of con-
gress on these questions, and the vetoes of the
president relating thereto. 1t presents the
question OF resumption and the opposition of
tho democrats to the general financial policy
of the government 1t shows the action of tho
democrats on the arrears of pension bill and
tho southern war claims and spresents in
clear statement as to how and by what ageu.

THIS is the way John Quincy Adams consoled

the peculiar relish with which they enjoy and the

alton no word is TO be found too scurrilous to be
visited upon the purest men in a time Of high

of the foreign mind that We are a nation of scan
