We knew Woodlief as long ago as
1859. At tlrat time he was an honest,
sober, free-hearted young man, and the
only thing that could be truthfully
said against him was, he was "a gam

him when ladies were soliciting con-
tributions for church purposes. He
was bravc--no one can deny that--and
never took an advantage Of a foeman,
but met him openly, and many severe
criticisms have been mde by editors,
since his death, that never would have
been made had he lived. It seems to

similar circumstances, some OF those
who speak SO loud against him, would
have done as he did. II is very prob
able that he was not so bad man at
heart, as many now living who have
never killed man. As a man, he was
charitable, and friend to those in
distress; no one ever asked charity at
his hands and went away empty. AS

down for you. Now that he is dead

WASHINGTON, June GA lady writing
from White Sulphur Springs say she put
the question point blank to Senator Cam.
erOn whether he intended to accept the
Craftsmanship OF the Republican Cam
paign Committee, and he replied with EN-.
phasis that he would not. This is corob-
orative Of other information, and 1t is
clear that General Garfield and friends
will have to give up their hopes in that
direction. Garfield was particularly anx-
Gus that Cameron should be Chairman.
But it is now considered as settled here
that Cameron will put in quiet summer,
and not work himself into perspiration
over politics. From White Sulphur
he goes to Newport, and in fact has map
ped out campaign ofrest for himself, and
seems quite Indifferent TO the fate OF his
beloved country.
There arc whisperings here that the
Grant leaders will sulk during the cam
paign, and that Cameron is leading off in
that direction. 1t is said to be plausible
that had Grant been nominated Cameron
would have run the campaign through on
high pressure and rested aiterwafd, and
that his money and his time would have
been at the service OF the party. His
course causes good deal anxiety among
Pennsylvania Republicans, for the with.
drawal OF the Cameron active influence

A NeWYork Ralph Raekstraw Infatuated
With n Juvenile Josephine.
New York, June 2S.-Mrs. Celia B. Rey-
nolds, OF 100 West thirty.third street, ap-
peared before Justice otterb ourg as com.
plainant against Louis Getterdam, a young
man Of 81 years, who is musician con.
nected with the Standard Theatre. She
accused him OF attempting to elope with
her daughter Lillian.
On Tuesday Getterdam introduced him
self to Justice oiterboutg and requested
him to perform marriage ceremony. He
said that he had applied to the Rev. Mr..
Schneider, OF Allen street, but had been
refused, Mr.. Schneider telling him that
he could not perform the ceremony unless
Justice 0tterbourg gave his sanction.
Then he continued, with show OF great
feeling, description OF the girl he wished
TO marry. He described her as beaui-
full and accomplished musician, and al
though but Is, yet OF womanly maturity.
Her mother, he assured the magistrate
treated her with undue severity, and often
beat her, while her step.father also treated
her cruelty.
Justice 0tterbourg told Getterdam to
bring him further proof OF his identity and
earnestness, and TO be accompanied by his
mother or father, whose consent he said
he had.
When Mrs. Reynolds appeared in court,
Justice Otterburg recalled the incident on
Tuesday. Mrs. Reynolds said that her
daughter was barely thirteen; that she
had discovered that Louis Getterdam had
bought her marriage trousseau, and that
every arrangement had been made for the
young couple to elope. It was OF the ut
most importance to stop them, and she
was willing to send her daughter TO the
Juvenile Asylum. She said that in Sep.
tember last, having lost great part OF her
fortune, she allowed Lillian TO appear. un-
der an assumed name, in the character OF
Josephine in the "Pinatore" troupe at the |
Standard Theatre. The girl there became
acquainted with Getterdam, who after
ward was her instructor in music and a
constant visitor at her mothers house. |
The attachment between pupil and in.
sIructor became so strong that Lilian's |
mother could not break it of, and she ap- |
pealed to Justice 0tterburg.
After short conversation with the girl,
Justice Otterburg granted a commitment |
to the Juvenile Asylum, and she will re.
main there until the Justice is satisfied OF
her obedience 10 her mother. The magis-
trate told Louis Getterdam that he had a |
narrow escape OF severe punishment. |
Had he eloped with Lillian, nothing would
have saved him from imprisonment. He
advised him never to trouble Mrs. Rey-
nolds.

OF fourteen million dollars. The receipts
from all sources to date foot up about
twenty.three million dollars, leaving sur

bers $l230O0 900, an increase OF Sl0,00O,-
900 over the receipts Of last year, and an
increase OF So 900, 900 over the estimates oi
