Sad scene at a Grave.

Faris Dalton was one of the Old and
esteemed citizens of Washington coun-
tv, Indiana. One of his daughters died
last Thursday. The Saturday following
the body, followed by long procession
of friends, was conveyed to the little
country cemetery near by. The aged
father and three daughters we're neal
the open grave, the undertaken re-
moved the coffin lid, and invited the
friends to take Il last look at the de-
ceased. The father stepped to the side
of the coffin, cast II agonizing look
upon the white face of his daughter,
and fell dead beside the bie.. The
three daughters Immediately swooned
away, and were also thought to be
dead. The scene that followed beggars
description.
Agonizing spbs came from all pres
ent, and for a time every One seemed
paralyzed with awe and fear from what
seemed an awful calamity-a visitation
Of God upon AL entire family, After I;
time the three daughters revived. The
aged fathers dead body was carried
back to his home and prepared for
burial and now, side by side father
and daughter sleep in peace, awaiting
the great awakening. q

The following is the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. 0wings, of ROane county,
that is making the democrats curse so
much. Marks had delivered his in

from office, but being a burlcsquc. was
of course ruled out of order, viz:
Whereas, the craftsmanship and the
liberality manifested by his EXcellency
Gov. A. 5. Marks in his retiring speech
demonstrates beyond any question his
fitness for Senatorial hOnors; therefore,
Resolved, that seventeen copies of eX-
Governor Marks retiring speech be
printed for the use of the House.
Resolved, That it be recommended to

THE A LIST.
why the Democrats Adjourn
when the Report Ofthe Post
master Generals brought
up

Washington special to the Louis
Commercial; There is dynamite il
the postmaster generals report upor
unlawful exercise of the frankinl
privilege by the members Of the dem.
Ocratic congressional committee, and
the democrats do wisely to adjourn
whenever the reading of this report
is suggested. The names of many OF
them aIe said TO be mentioned in it,
and their unlawful acts are described
with hedrtless Enthusiastically
Among the list of names mentioned
as in some sense ~particeps eriminis,
are the Hons. j. w. Ryan, N. Muller,
P. Dunn, Waldo Hutchins, w. Gall,
j. S. Q. Blackburn, Hester Clymer,
r. Is. Vance, Phil. Cook, Van ii,
Manning, r.. L. Taylor, j. r. Chal-
mers, s. 8. Cox. Mr.. Cox already
declared that he is not guilty. If this
is proven, it will serve to convict some
members of the democratic committee
not only of attempted fraud upon the
postofice department; but of the
graver crime of forging Mr.. Cox's
name upon the envelope, by means of
which fraud was to be committed.
The grave statements made in the
report are sustained by numerous
formal afidavits. and no less than
three of them being signed and sworn
to by employees of the democratic con-
gressional committee, setting forth
the fact that defrauding the govern
ment by knowingly franking unfrank-
able matter was Il regular practice Of
the committee, and had the sanction
of those IN authority.
For three days in succession, when
this report was reached, the house of
representatives, upon the motion of
some conscience stricken democrat,
has made haste to adjourn. To-day,
when the committee of the whole
rose, Mr.. Coffroth jumped upon his
feet and moved an adjournment be
fore the chairman ha1 made his re
port to the house. Let the demo
Gratis beware.

Senator Allison and the Cabi-
net.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial {:
W~AsnINGTON, Jan. 16.-There
are strong reasons for believing
that Senator Allison, of Iowa, will
be Garfield's Secretary of the
Treasury. The report that the
Senator has gone to Mentor, and
will spend Sunday with Garfield,
is regarded as confirmatory of
this view. Secretary Sherman
will be there also. Recently, in
conversation with an intimate
friend, a member Of the House,
Secretary Sherman asked him
who he thought would 60 to the
head Of the Treasury. The mem
Der suggested Morrill,, Of Yer
mont, Secretary Sherman replied
that he understood Morrill's
health was poor, and that he did
not want the place. Several 9th.
Ell names were suggested, among
them a prominent Iowa politician
whom Sherman said was not
qualified for the position. The
member then suggested Allison,
to which Sherman replied that
Allison was a good man for the
place, and left the impression
that he rather thought Garfield
would call Allison to the posi-
ton.
Allison, of Iowa, and Garfield
sat side by side in the House for
a number Of years, and were all
ways very intimate friends. He
and Mr.. Blaine are also exceed.
ingly intimate and spend a great
deal of time together in a conf
dental manner. Mr.. Allison's
particular friends have no doubt
thatif he wishes it he can be the
next Secretary Of the Treasury.

Awoman,s New Years Drunk

a young woman magniflcently attired

gloves, and lovely iewelry, who was
found wandering about the streets.

She had received callers during the day,
and having INDUCED too freely wan
dered out of the house and was SUR
rounded by a crowd of hooting boys
and men. When discovered by the
officers she was consigned to a cell at
the Central station, and held until her
friends arrived and carried her home.
She gave the name Of Lula b. Easton,
which is supposed to be fictitious. Be
fore placing her in the cell the officers
in charge removed all of her elegant
clothing, leaving her dressed in her
petticoats.

Gently Sliding over TO GOrham

Well, the first question that comes
up, we suppose, will be the election
of Secretary of the Senate, for which
position there are two candidates
Mr.. Burch, the present democratic
incumbent, and Mr.. Gorham. We
have not heard u word from General
Malone as to how he means to vote
between the two. But Mr.. Burch is
understood to be a Tennessee Funder
of the strongest sort. If that be so,
there can, we should think, be no
more harm in General Mahone's vo-
ting for Mr.. Gorham, the Republican,
than there was in the Funders here
voting Tor agreeing to vote last win
tor for General Wickham, the Repub-
lican. If they could vote for q Re-
publican to a seat in the Senate of the
United States without blame, what
would there be to censure in General
Mahone's voting for II Republican

same body?-R Richmond Wing.

The Dirty Tricks Resorted by
the Democracy.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 18th.
AS a matter of information rs 10 tho
dark deeds of the democracy at Nash,
willie last week, we print the following
special 20 the Louisville Commercial.
aud ask the people of Bradley and Poll
what they think of it, or what they
think OF men that would engage in suclI
acts. The following is the special:
NASHVILLE, Jan. ia startling
piece OF rastali.y is unearthed in the
Stuart contested election ease | got
hold of the papers Immediately after
the Supreme Court had rendered its de-
%cision, and tclegraphed their contents
u The Commercial. discovered that
the Judges and Clerks of Election had
made their certificates on the sth OF
November and that there
WAS NOTHING SAID
about an Illegal vote. On the 18th OF
December, fOrty-scven days after their
return was made. Judges Blanken-
ship and Bryan made affidavit that one
illegal vote was cast for Fout. Now
this affidavit has been
TORN FROM THE PAPERS
and cannot be found. Stuart asks q
continuance upon the ground "that the
record is not complete-OfcOurse it is
not. This affidavit that is lost convicts
the Sheriff of making a false return.
As soon as the friends of Stuart saw
the dilemma in which they were placed
by the publication Of the facts in the
Commercial, they went TO work to
remedy the matter. We do not charge
that they stole the paper, but
WE DO ASSERT
thatit was on file as Il part Of the rec
ord. and that it has been taken away
by some person. Whether Stuart will
he able to get t~he..Sherif to doctor an
other will be ascertaimcd in a few days.
As to who has been guilty Of this
act it is not known; but the certificate
was attached to the CERTIFIED copy and
it can be plainly be seen where it was
torn of. 1t was no doubt torn cG to
enable Mr.. Stuart to swear that it was
not all there.
The election for state officers is being
discussed considerably. While we can
hardly hope for such a thing we would
not be surprised il the Republicans
elect every state officers. If they do,
10 Dillin will be elected State Treasur-
err and w. G. Shelly, Secretary ofState.
