WnntinE Her ChiIdren.

There was an interesting hsbeas corpus
ease heard in the district court yesterday by
Judge Aldridge. The testimony elected is
briefly as follows; Directly after the war,
Mrs. Mollie Ellis, who sued out the writ was
married to james Holton, a well.todo
farmer of Pendleton county, Kentucky. The
fruit of their marriage was four children,
only two of whom, Cora and Lavina, aged
respectively nine and eleven years, are now
living, and for whose possession she is now
auing. A servant girl in the employ of Mr..
Holton, with whom his wife accused him of
being too intimate, caused divorce and a
separation, and the children, in accordance
with the laws Of that state, were given to the
father.
The mother instituted proceedings to regain
possession of her children, when the father
spirited them away to Hill county in thi.
state in the sp'ing Of 1876. Since that time
Holton died, and the mother, who never
knew until recently where either he or the
children were, marrieda Mr.. Ellis. A friend
of hers in travelling through Hill county
learned that the children were living with
Mr.. V. S, Price, q relative of Mr.. Holton,
and Informed the mother Of the fact and she
came on and sued out the writ rs above
stated. Mr.. Pric the party called upon
10 answer, denied that the children were in
his possession and the prosecution claims
that he has bid them gut and that he knows
their whereabouts. The court after hearing
the case, ordered the clerk TO issue attach.
monts to Ellis and Hill counties, for the chill.
dren to be- brought into court.

Nor vestige of difficulty is now in ex-
istence to mar the harmony of tho Nav
York Democracy. Tammany and living
halls are in perfect accord, have agreed on all
nominations and Mr.. Kelly says that the
Republicans had better carry New York be-
fore counting it for Garfield and Arthur
According to the World there wi be in
New York "by far the largest vote and the
largest Democratic majority ever given.
The immense registrations in Brooklyn on
Tuesday which supplemented the equally
immense registrations upon tho previous
statutory day, as well as the political census
OF interior cities, towns and villages which
the Democratic committees have compile ed,
satisfactorily indicate that New York is to be
the banner state" for Hancock. Only
twice during the past thirteen years have
the Republicans broken Democratic control
by majorities, and these occasions were in
the years which followed the disastrous
exposure of the ring frauds.
In 1873 and 1879 the Republ-
cans obtained the state upon pluralities in
consequence OF Democratic discussions. In
1867, 1868, 1860, 1870, 1873, 1874, 1876 1876,
and 1877 there were Democratic maiorities
in this state Of the mos! pronounced charsc-
ter upon the general vote. Except for the
Infamous manner in which the Republicans
have carved the congressional and legislative
districts of this state tho New York Demcc-
racy would always, when united, have car
ried a majority of those districts. Last year
the united Democratic vote reached l53. S67

Of 3d. $685." This is certainly cheerful out.

the state is something beyond our ken.

tics and gives what ii declares to bo the

southern states, and paid into the federal
treasury for tho year 1880, and the sppro.
priasions made by the general government to
each section for public improvements, such
IS buildings, hsrbors, rivers, etc. The Times
takes these figures as the basis for an srgu.
ment that there is no spirit of sectional
hostility shown by the north towards the
south. Let us give these figures, and snalyze
