BETRAYED.
A SOCIETY BELLE RUINED by HER
LOVER.
Lcailville Chronicle

JNuNNJut SubUulCIS.
A young gontloman from Lafayette,
Ind, who arrived in Leadville but 9
short time ago, one evening last week,
in making the tour Of the city, was not
little surprised to meet in certain
house of ill-fame girl who no forcibly
remainded him of an acquaintance in
the East that he called her aside and
impaired the force Of his impression to
her. The girl started, turned scarlet,
and, with II glad smile upon her face,
suddenly exclaimed:
"Why Edward, do you not know me
I am that girl.'
She proved, indeed to be the young
lady he had known, but oh, under what
altered circumstances!
She is daughter Of the president Of
the leading bank in Lafayette. Her
home was ono of comfort, aye, luxury.
BeastifulI accomplished and animated,
in tho literal sense of the term, she
reigued petted belle in the circle Of
her admirers. A brilliant future seemed
before her.
Her ruin was accomplished under the
most deplorable circumstances by a
young and dashing society shark of La
fayette. After a prolonged courtship
she gave her consent to their marriage,
and they were formally engaged. The
news became rapidly known among the
circle Of their friends, and the hsppiest
future was predicted for the young
couple.
Urgent business affairs called him to
St. Louis after while, aud no was sup.
posed to have formed lucrative afilia.
tion there. Endearing letters passed
between them during his absence, and
he ut last prevailed upon her to 20 to
St. Louis for the purpose Of being joined
to him in tho holy ties of matrimony
Her parents, possessing unfaltering
trust in their daughter's intended, made
no remonstrances and the daily papers
duly chronicled the fact of the younp
lady's departure for St. Louis to bt
married.
Under plausible pretext postpone
ment of the ceremony was obtained by
her lover, and inveigled by honeyed
words Of passionate love, under prom
ises he never intended to fulfill, he &C
complished her ruin and then deserted
her.
Disgraced in her own heart, too proui
to return to Lafayette, only to becom,
The subject of rldicule and slander
without money and without friends
what could she do' She took the ste,
which, in their despair, thousands OF be-
sex annually resort to. She entered ,
house of prostitution and sold be-
charms for money. After brief caree
| in the City Of Mounds, she departed TO
the new pastures Of Colorado, and event
ually came to Leadville.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1880-05-26

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Isnses writes 70 that paper that it
is feared by some of his admirers that
Grant will not be able to control The tenn
porary organization ct Chicago. The
correspondent goes on to give the reasons
for this fear, and says:
THE rule of the national convention is
10 appoint one member from each state
aud territory upon the committee upon
so forth. There are forty seven states
and territories to be represented in this
way. Grant has seventeen OF these.
According to calculations here, Blame has
sixteen and the balance of power Is held
by Sherman and Edmunds. Now sworn
som binatiou has been formed between
Blaine and Sherman to control the perma-
ners organization of the convention
and the committee on credentials.
This ombination has been forced by the
dire necessity of the case. LIZ
- said that Edmunds can also be
relied upon TO join this anti Grant com
oinaiion Senator George f. Hoar is the
candidate OF the anti Grant men for per-
maneBt chairman of the convention. The
anti Grant people intend to control at the
SlatbJ 50 dS 10 AdkS up TIC Iul pbi
committee of credentials. This commit
tee, if controlled by the anti Grant people,
will take up and consider all contesting
cases and decide. naturally, ia favor OF
anybody to beat Grant. 1t is thought that
in this way the compact Illinois delegation
will be broken up and scattered
and rebellion encouraged in other
states. The impartial observers of
this contemplated move say that
if il is successful it will naturally result
more favorably to either Sherman or Ed
. munds than tany of the other contesting
candidates Besides this move most
vigorous attempt is being made to pur>
chase the southern cattle, who are now on
| their way to the Chicago market, wearing
the various labels of the first bidders.
| Nearly every southern delegation quietly
| sends a man here to stop on the road to
Chicago and observe the ruling rates be-
| fore passing on. The Grant people need
to look well after their southern votes.
The chairman of the South Carolina
delegation. ex-Speaker Mackey, arrived
| here to-day and had long consultation
with Blaine. This afternoon Mr.. Mackey
has announced that he does not think
| Grant will get the votes of his delegation.
He is rather inclined to think that the
| "plumed knight" is the boy for them.
i Blaine's friends openly affirm that he is
Kidding the southern delegations, aud that
they cannot resist the seduction Of his
magnetic presence. Mr., Blaine never has
worked harder than within the last two or
three days. His special am bassador, w.
K. Chandler. who is promised the treas
ury portfolio in case Blaine succeeds, was
due in Chicago to-day. Secretary"
Chandler. one of the best political thin
bie-rigRers in this or any other country.
duct Mr.. BIaine's fight"
The tone of the letter. however. would
indicate that the Grant men are not as
fearful as the Blaine crowd. who, while
denou1cing Logan and his methods are
ready and willing to adopt precisely the
same measures If to their advantage. Ii
makes some difference whose OK is gored,
after all.

The Electoral Cornt.

The Chicago journal denies the author
ity Of the two houses of Congress to count
the vote for president and vice president
According to tho Journal Congress car
merely "tottneSS" the count but nothing
more This is new construction Of the
constitutional rights OF Congress, but The
purpose is made palmer when, little
further on in it's article. the Journal says
III Il majority OF the lawful Electors
vote for the Republican candidates for
President and Vice President, they will
be duly declared elected aud inaugnrated.
and 10 such a Presiden, Mr.. Hayes would
surrender the Executive office with all
which it Involves II the Democrat Is
should choose to go through tho form OF
an Inauguration and appeal to the Su-
preme Court to arbitra.e their claim, they
could do SO, but ]. would be uuavaiing. "
1T is in no sense Returning Board.
1t has no such jurisdiction. and any at
tempt to thwart the popular will by an
exercise OF such authority would be treat
ed as null and void"
The policy which is intended to be pur
sued is clearly outlined in the. journal
article-it is to inaugurate the Republican
president whether elected or defeated
The plan is for the president of the Sen
ate to count aud declare the result and on
his declaration the President will actor,
in other words, will declare the Republi
can candidates elected-and then the
Democrats will be told to make the best
of it. Desperate men resort to desperate
measures and SO with the Republican
managers-they will stop at nothing
even though it bring about bloodshed to
accomplish their criminal designs. They
can plan, but the people will not submit.
Congress is the only constitutional body
to determine the 'result-and will exercise
the functions delegated. Republicans can
rest assured that. if the Republican cam
o'aates are elected they will be peaceably
installed. If they are defeated they will
not be installed.
