have found, through the Freedman's Relief
Association, places as laborers, and are Civ
ing good satisfaction. In no county did he
find them burdens upon corperated char

been stretched to its fullest capacity, as the
accumulation of refugees at the barracks,
now nearly 700, for whom no places can be
found, clearly indicates.

nearing an end, andt the Fusionist Legislature
having given up the fight, are dispensing to

ture having established all points, will doubt

in the history Of the country, and the result
has been as most well informed politicians pre-
dietsd months ago-a triumph of the Repub-

to their wonted quiet and the machinery of

be to drive out all outsiders BY means Of over

They are rapidly getting the Indians under

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

The She pherd's Fold in New York, az in
stitution devoted to the care Of children, is
now before the courts to answer charges pre-
ferred against it BY the officers Of the society

The testimony against the managers of the insti-
tuition is simply horrible. The poor waits
turned over to the tender msrcies of the man
asers Of the Fold were starved, slowly
poisoned, over worked and beaten until it is o

warm rs people ordinarily use in summer.
There we're not enough plates for all the child
rem TO eat from and part of them were obliged
TO wait until the others were served. Their
regular diet was corn bread and vile molasses.
The manager sometimes knocked down girls
of twelve with his fists and kicked them in
the ribs. When meat was served it was faint
ed, and no water was allowed at meals for the
sake Of economy in glass ware. Over the
wretehsd meals served these poor children the
Priaciple of the institution insuted the Al

tributing money to the Fold and it was all

brute, and If it can be shown that any child

THE SECRET OF THE GEAR.

Carson CITY, Jan. Goth, 1880.
KpIrok APPEAL: Sometimes in the course
Of human events, even common mortals like
nae, get chance to fad cut how things are
cond acted at courts and what family jars oc-
cur in such high places. l hereby translate the
following from the Courier DIES Etats- Urss:
The real cause of the dissgrssments which
exist in the Imperial family, has not yet been
unveiled publicly in Europe. Here it is, in
all it's simplicity:
In spite of his gray hairs, Alexander l, was
smitten some years ago by the Princess L.
of the court. And as nothing eternally r'-
sists q potentate, this love has ended, Gf it is
ended), by being crowned with success. A
child has even come to highten the vows of
the old monarch, who is not willing to sepa-
rate himself from the beautiful Princess, and
from his child. He demands that it shall be
raised at the court, under the eyes of bis fam
ily, and that it shall be treated with the same
respect as legitimate child.
This singular conduct is not, and this is
easy to understand, in accord with the taste
of the Empress and her SONS. RESPONSIVENESS
have been made, at first With a good grace,
and afterwards with some i'll will. But all
has been useless; the Empress has then re-
self at Cannes, to repair her shattered health.
The Czarovitch, for his part, has abstained
from appearing any more at court.
The influence which the Princess o. exer-
cises over the mind and over the heart of the
Emperor, knows no bounds any more, and Nh
happily this influence is exercised in retro
grating and anti liberal sense. 1t is owing to
her that the famous and liberal constitution
remains in the writing desk of Alexander l,
and that all the attempts made to get it away
from him, have been unsuccessful up to this
day.
The Gar sees enemies everywhere, particu-
Iarly in the Imperial family. The attempt at
Moscow, and the anonymous threats which he
has lately received, have filed the measure of
his evaporation.
One need net seek anywhere but in these
proceedings, the origin Of the contradictory
ruuors which have circulated for several
months.
1t is the pernieous influence of the Prin-
cess D. which has induced the Empress to de-
part 1t is she who drives the Emperor to re-
sistance and to repression; it is she who erects
stronger barrier from day to day between
the father and the son. Respectfully,
JOHN BRIRRsgHRAoH.

IT is hardly worth while for the New
York Herald to gravely argue that there
is no danger of the rebel debt. indemnity
for slaves, or pensions for Confederate
soldiers being paid; for, as it SAYS
"Wheh Il Republican stump speaker
threatens his hearers with the payment
of rebel claims, those who are not abso.
lutely ignorant know that he is attempt
ing a gross deceit; for they know that
under our constitution the people never
surrender themselves or their rights and
property into the hands of any party.
Not one OF them believes in this silly
stuff, which yet is staple of the Repub.
lican canvass. Every man outside of a
madhousc knows that the Democrats
pay taxes, OWN government bonds and
are concerned for the credit and prosper-
ity of the country rs we'll us the Repub-
licans." The intelligent people Of the
country pretty we'll know 10y this time
that it is only knave or 4 fool who
utters such twaddle rs the Herald SO ef-
fectively ridicules, and in those COM
munities where knaves and fools control
the public judgment they would not
believe though one were sent from the
dead.

TIE Philadelphia grand jury inveishs
most bitterly against the Office of recoG-
der in that city, and the manner in
which it is administered, declaring that
the position, which was established
against the protests of the business men,
is run in such Il manner that its incum-
bent ought to be indicted. No necessity
exists for it ,and it proves to be just what
it was predicted that it would becomc-a
place for mousing politicians to grow fat
at the public expense. 1t was established
to pension Quay, but as he saw wider
field of operations at the head of the par.
doning board and as candidate for
United States senator, he quietly give it
over to a congenial friend who, most
likely, divides with him. The character
of this office, and the nefarious means by
which it was established, are characteris-
tic of Republican methods in this state.
Those methods aim persistently ut build
ing up party organization at the ex-
pense of the public, and whenever cx-
listing offices fail to go around new ones
are created for the pensioned families.
OF those methods Quay is the animating
genius. His fertile brain devises them
and his constituencies boldness executes
them. His reward is to be seat in the
United States Senate and Demuth is in
structed to vote for him.

escaped, with the assistance of boats and
ropes. Planks were quickly cast in the
Ebro by the inhabitants. The scenes at
night in recognizing the bodies were heart
rending. Many officers and serseants were
married men, and their wives and families
rushed to the banks during the search for
the bodies by torchlight. Next day, in

OBITUARY..
The Late Col. Moves.


Hon. Amos G. Noyes, ex- State Treasurer
of Pennsylvania, was stricken with para
lysis on Friday night at his home at West
port, Clinton county, and died five minutes
before midnight. Colonel Noyes was a
native of New Hampshire. where his an
ccsters, who were of Scotch-1rish descent,
resided from the earliest settlement of the
state. He was born in Grafton county. N.
H., September II, 1918, and at
the time of his death lacked thir-
teen days Of being 62 years old.
His father was farmer and he spent his
youth in the same pursuit. He came to
Pennsylvania in 1S47, locating first at En-
porium and afterwards settling ut West
port, where he continued to live till his
death. He served for several terms in the
Legislature and was often prominently
spuken of for governor, and at the Demo.
cratic state convention of 1875 was ballot
ed for for the nomination. 1t was at the
time that compromise was effected by
the nomination Of Judge Pershing. In
1877 Colonel Noyes was nominated by the
Democrats for state treasurer and elected
over William B. Hart by major
ity of 9,9O1. He retired from
the trcasurcr's Office on the Sd of May last
and has since given attention 10 his pri-
vate BUSINESS. Colonel Noyes was a man
of large frame, stout and vigoroas, and
had enjoyed good health until within a
few years, when he began to show signs of
decline. A couple of years ago he spent a
few weeks at Greenbriar White Sulphur
springs, West Virginia, and derived great
benefit from the baths and use of the
water. When he retired from the state
treasury last spring he was in good health
and continued so until recently, when he
was threatened with paralysis, which final
ly resulted in a fatal attack on Friday
night and his stout frame succumbed to
the malady about midnight.
