New Era, Nov. l3, 1880.
We repeat that the editor Of the Nea,
Era (then editor of the Erpress) did moi
advise Mayor Stauffer to bring libel suit
against the INTELLIGENCER, and that
there is nothing in the files of the Express
to show that we ever did so advise. The
truth of the matter is that we advised just
the contrary course.
Express, Feb. 5, 1875.
We take it for granted that Mayo,
Stauffer will promptly make his own justi.
fication with our "gushing" neighbors in
the only manner such case admits of, by
giving them an opportunity to make good
their allegations before tribunal where
tho reckless assertions of newspaper boys
will not pass for facts and matter of record,

Is Ho q EOrei1uere ?

It is rumored that GeneralW. W. Grout,
congressman-elect from the Third district
of Vermont, is ineligible, he having been
born in Canada and never natuIalized.
General Grout, however, says that his
parents were natives of Vermont, and that
after living in Canada until their son was
ten years old, they returned to the United
States. While in Canada his father never
exercised any of the rights of citizenship,
and the son is therefore eligible under the
statute of 1902, which provides that
"Children of parents who arc citizens of
the United States, if born outside of the
jurisdiction of the United States, are not
disqualified from exercising their rights rs
citizens Of the United States,';

A HAUNTED HOUSE.
"A Dead Aiscr's Uneasy Spirit Revisitfng
His Earthly Dwelling.

His Earthly Dwelling.
In the village of Glenville, on lonely
road in the suburbs of Cleveland, is a
frame house of one and half stories,
about which there is at present consider
able excitement among the neighboring
residents on account of some singular
manifestations that occur therein. The
family living there have become dis
gusted with it's peculiar attributes
and are about to leave. Frequently,
and at all hours during the day
time, as we'll as after dark, the most sin
gular sounds can be heard in different
rooms in the house, knocks being given
so loudly as to frighte1 people living in a
brick mansion many rods away. Watches
have been frequently kept to discover if
some one was not practising a fraud, but
the investigators have invariably decided
that the house is supernatarally haunted.
An old miser who formerly lived there and
who bore bad reputation in other ways
besides the boarding of money, is said to
be continually walking and pounding
about the premises in order to bring to
light large sum of gold which disappear
ed mysteriously about the time Of his
death.

An INTERESTING WILL DECISION.

The influence an Elderly Widow Exercised
Over u Wealthy New York Man.
A very interesting will case was decided
in New York yesterday. William IL.
Leverick had a fortune Of more than $3.50, :
600, and for eight or ten years before his
death was engaged in no business. Dur
ing that time he lived with Mrs. Ann NJ.
Qoninck, an elderly widow, at No. 6j
Perry street. He owned the house ard
gave her the use of it, rent free, and also
paid her considerable sums besides for
taking care of him. The will gives her this
house is partial compensation for such at
tention to him aud also devises to her one
half Of the rest Of his estate. The other
half he gave to his only brother, Augustus
A. Leverick. The contest was instituted
by his brother, who contended that his
brothers. mind was weakened by excess
i've use of strong drink, and that Mrs.
Dominick had improperly influenced him.
The surrogate finds that Mrs. Dominick
exerteh severe domination and control
over Leverick, and he manifested great
fear of her disapprobation and censure.
Mr.. Leverick often said that he didn't in
tend to make will, and that he intended
his brother to have his property. The will
was executed in the presence of Mrs. Dom.
inick's son, and was attested by one of her
daughters in law. When it was executed
Mr.. Lcvcrick was very i'll. The surrogate
says:
''1t certainly presents an almost incredi'
ble exhibition of moral weakness and sub.
mission that a man Of mature years should
year after year submit to the control and
insOlcnce of 4 woman Of such characters.
tics and position, and flee from her ap'
proach as though in fear, and it seems to
me that it cannot be accounted for except
upon the hypothesis that his intemperate
habits and personal degradation had sub
stantially destroyed his self respect, his
| independence and his mental vigor. an
led to the conclusion that the feeble men,
tai aud physical condition of the decedent,
| the influence and control exercised over
him for several years by the principal
| beneficiary, her declarations of disposition
and desire to procure provision
for herself, her expression of mer
ccnary sentiment, the withholding
of information from his only brother of his
sore illness, her secrctins the fact of his
residence with her, the absence of his
relatives, the presence of Mrs. Dominica
and her children at the execution of tho
instrument. all point to tho conclusion
that it was not the free and unrestraineC
act Of the decedcnt and that it should bt
denied probate
This is the first time i'll a considerable
period that will has been refused pro
bate.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 10. 1880.
Not q Safe Elevation.


Mr.. Garfield will have more than the
usual amount of trouble to meet his OBJ
legations when he takes the reins. All the
wings Of his party are looking to him to
be sucked, some by virtue of their
original support and the others because
of their saving aid. Having been elected
by the "skin of his teeth" Mr.. Garfield
is under obligation to every man who
supported him and they are looking to
him hopefully. AS they cannot all be
satisfied there will undoubtedly he
great weeping and .gnashing of
teeth iii the coming spring time.
There are two pretty distinctly
developed wings of the Republican party
and Garfield has his choice of supporting
one or the other OF attempting to ride
both. The latter is the seductive feat
which he will be most likely to essay,
and which he vii! get through with &C
cording to the measure of his genius.
No one has ever disputed his mental
strength but it is singularly well under
stood that his moral foundations are
nothing remarkable and in firmness of
will and fiXedness of purpose he is be-
lieved to be lamentably deficient.
Whether he will be able to ride the
storm and direct the winds by the aid of
his intelligence alone is the interesting
question which will have to he decided
promptly in the negative if he has not
more strength of character to help him
than he is generally credited with. 1t
will of course be a safe assumption that
he will direct his course in the interest
of Garfield, as he best knows how.
He will propose to be his own
successor and no silly idea of keeping
his place warm for Grant or any other
man will enter his head. But unless we
misjudge him greatly, his good inten.
tions toward himself will be baffled by
the various weaknesses and
weakness of backbone being prominent
among them-which will act rs heavy
drag OH his high purpose. If Garfield
succeeds Garfield, he either has been
greatly misjudged or all the lessons OF
experience will be belied. One of his
great faults is his abominable habit of
lying. 1t is a bad practice in every way
but especially bad in president who has
no way of shifting his responsibility and
evading his promises. 1t is fair to as
sumo that Garfield is plastered all over
with embarrassing engagements, beside
the famous one entered into at Mentor,
which secured his election. II has been
denied that there was any contract there
entered into with the Grant t-C Conkling-
Cameron Logan ring. Grant is quoted
rs so declaring. But it has been confess
cd to by Garlield's especial friends who
want him to wriggle out of it; as he
will. On general principles, it is safe to
consider that man of Mr.. Garicld's
character has taken Oh big load of
conflicting promises that he cannot in
any way carry out. And that, therefore,
he will be in trouble. The Lord has
seemed to have saving care for him
thus far, Notwithstanding his many i'll
iquities, and has elevated him now upon
pinnacle where it will be a miracle if
he can stand. 1t is no place for an An
anias, and won't he good for Garfield.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing from Cleveland, states
that a prominent Ohio Republican who is
on terms Of intimacy with Gen. Garfield
declares that the ''stalwarts'' will have no
part in the new administration. The same
authority is given for the statement that
Galusha A. Grow, of this state, is to be a

money until she got home and then found

woman, whose statement of the facts was
amply corroborated. The bank will ap
