A FREE BALLOT.
HOWE Is Secured in the south.

lrrOuI ENarGS new 1Ofk speech.
There are two things that underlie the
whole fabric of political society, its inter-
est and its sentiment. One is the suffrage,
which is the basis of it all. Another is
the largeness and integrity of our coun-
try, which this people. for some reason
or other, in spite Of all the incubation
of Southern dogmas, are insisting upon
thinking is greater than any of its parts.
Our people know what the elements and
traits of free suffrage are, and have re-
sented any attack upon it in any form.
What is the education of this people if
it be not to value the liberties of others
as well as their own? I never knew a
King or noble or priest or rich man that
did not value his liberty, and I think
some of them were willing even to carry
their liberties to the extent of license. as
we say. But the question is whether

An odd case is reported from Carl

evening at Z o'clock to visit lady aged

nation he noticed a change in her
speech. This led him to an investiga-
ton of the throat. Outwardly the neck
appeared normal, and there was nothing
to indicate an obstruction. He then ex-
amined the pharynx, but no foreign
body could be seen there. and the ex-
animation only brought on vomiting and
straining. However, he determined to
look a second time, and Judge of his

pharynx, set of false teeth, which he
extracted with little trouble. Upon In

her teeth about 8 o'clock in the morning
but had no idea she had swallowed
them. 1t is remarkable that they had
been IN the pharynx without causing
her any pain for over ten hours.

Such an uproar as followed l never

crazed by disappointment and thirsting
for his blood. Wilson, Mcdonald and /
stood at the front gate, with pistols in
our hands, and checked the approach of
the mob until Owen could escape from
the rear of the house in a conveyance
that had been provided for him. 1t is
the only time in my life that I ever saw
Mcdonald with a pistol. He showed an
unmistakable purpose to use it, if nee
essary. Owen went to Texas, and died
there, presume, as l have never seen
nor heard Of him since. His wife had
committed suicide. He knew it, but
preferred to keep the fact to himself to
avoid scandal and exposing her. He
was a weak, but an honest man. For
his safe deliverance he was indebted to
a capital jury, men who could be neither

others had held Office, and all were per,

30 A TERRIBLE MURDER IN B0RDEETowN--
A CoIored Nun the VictsDa and HIS ALLEGED
ISGayers Tho Men of Has ODn Race,--La
Friday morning. shortly after midnight, Bor-
dentown was aroused by the sad news of
murder which had just been perpetrated il
the heart of the city--the victim, a colored
riau named Charles Ross, having been butch
cred with a razor, which. 1t is alleged. was in
the hands of another colored man named
Henry Williams, One of the unfortunate
mans legs was nearly cut IN two above the
knee and wide aud horrible looking cash
was left from which pools of blood flowed and
from the effects of which he died almost ins-
simultaneously. 1t seems that ball or party
was held at the house of colored man named
Charles Moss, to which were attracted over
fifty people, male and female, white and
black Towards midnight Delligerent man
of color, named Charles Ross, the victim of
the tragedy, commenced to kick up row by
bel!owfDg, yelling and shouting that be was
the scounty horse" All efforts TO pacify
him proved futile, aud finally the man Of the
house caught him by The legs aud threw him
outside in the yard. A crowd followed to the
door, and Williams and another oolored man
named Howard went outside. The latter
kicked the PROSTATE man, and 1t is alleged
the former did the butchering. Anyhow Ross
was killed Williams and Moss were imne-
dately arrested and locked up, while Howard
was allowed To go at large. An inquest was
held, when several witnesses were examined.
but while there WAS no direct testimony
against Williams, still there were strong cir
cumstances testified to that be had perpe-
trated the deed. A daughter of the deceased
and some others swore that Williams was
heard to make several threats against the life
of Ross and man named Cromwell deposed
that he had loaned Williams razor on the
fatal night or morning. Moss did not throw
much light on the tragedy by his evidence.
and 10 fact he did not know how the blood
canelou his clothes until his attention was
ca He'd to the fact when he was inside the
house after the slaughter. When The inves-
tigaiion was concluded the jury retired and
10 short time returned verdict thst Charles
Ross had been felo.ionsIy killed by Henry
Williams. and that James Howard was an ac-
cessory to the deed. At last accounts How
ard WAS still at large. The deceased was a
man of powerful muscle aud strength. and
about fifty years of age. Williams is about
forty.

things? If SO, whose duty is it to have them

There is a place in Phila-
delphia where a stranger
may buy his clothes, and
fare as well as if he knew
the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value of cloths, or of
clothes, he is as well off, as
if he were a good judge of
both.
The reason is that every
thing to be found there is
made there-made and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur. z.
OAK HALL is the place;
and its practice may be
summed up in a few words.
If you get there what you
don't want to keep at the
price, you return it, and get
your money back.
This means a great deal
more than appears on the
surface. 1t means that you
are not going TO get what
you will not want to keep at
the price, if the merchant can
help it. 1t means that the
clothes you get there will be
of honest cloths, honestly
made; and that they will
cost you less than as good
clothes can be got for else
where. 1t means that they
will be every way better
worth your money than you
can get elsewhere for the
same money.
If it means anything less
thanptAese things-ifitmeans
poor cloths, trimmings. cut
ting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or Liberal dealing;
the return of his goods will
= plague the merchant, injure
his credit, and dissipate his
trade.
If it means these things
fit means liberal and honor
able dealing, valuable and
trusty clothing, ease and
safetyin getting it, Oak HALL
is the place for you to go to,
or to send to; and it is worth
your while to know how you
can send, If it is inconvenient
to go.
Write; say what your
occupation is say what
sort of use you intend to
make of the clothes you
want, whether for everyday
wear or otherwise; what
color you prefer, or what
color to avoid; say about
what you want to pay; say
everything that you think
may aid a stranger in
choosing for you. You
will get in reply samples
of Cloths and prices of what
! y ever you, want made from
those cloths. You will get
also the means Of having
sasyour measure taken by an
unskilful person.
.ss There is only one diff
Guilty left. Somebody has
got to take the risks of the
dealing; for there are risks.
Send your money along
with your order. That
covers the risk as to your
good faith. We risk every
thing else; the fit, and
your satisfaction every way.
Our trade by mail
amounts ! to half a million
dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't
amount to FIVE millions.
