Principles Of Democracy

Extract from a speech of Senator
Voorhees,, at Terre Haute, Monday
night:
In every emergency | have appealed
To the masses, and not to self. consti-
tuted dictators, on the finances or any
other questions. | shall do SO in the
future, and | have no fears for the re-
suit. My democracy is a care for the
many-for the laboring, producing,
active millions who gather the honey
Of wealth into the hive, and not for
the able bodied, lordly drones who
eat all and work none. Marshal
Ney exclaimed with his dying breath
that he had fought q hundred bat
ties for France, and not one against
her. have fought as many battles
for the Democratic party, and
never one against her; but tho
inspiration Of my Democracy is the
welfare Of the people-plenty of work
and good wages, in the fields, in the
workshops and in the manufactures;
comfortable homes, free from the
Sheriff and the tax gatherer, knowing
nothing Of mortgages about to be fore.

modern parlance, the people at least
will understand what il means, and

On the WarDaIh.

A difficulty arose yesterday evening,
about tools, between Ed johnson,
colored, and George Webb, white,
both laborers at the james & Graham
wagon factory, followed by a fight, in
which Webb was worsted. He nursed
his wrath, however, and when John
son was on his way home yesterday
evening, snappeda pistol at him twice.
That individual owed his life to his
long legs and the failure of the pistol
to fire. Webb fixed his pistol and went
on out to Collins Chapel with it, hep.
ing to find his man there, but was
disappointed. He sent word to John
son this morning hat he had buried
the Ratchet, and the latter went to
work, unsuspicious Of danger. Early
this morning, however, Webb loaded
a musket with nails, horseshoe frag.
ments and other etceteras of modern
warfare, placed a pistol in his rear
pocket, also providing one for his little
thirteen year old brother. Together
they repaired to the factory. The elder
Webb walked to the door, and point.
ing his oarbine directly at johnson,
called to others who stood in the way
to step aside. Mr.. James-whose FIRST
name is not Jesse-ordered him Ia
leave, but in turn was threatened
Before Webb could FIRE, however, Mr.
James snatched the gun from his HAND
and disarmed him Of the pistol. Cap.
tain 0'Haver was summoned anC
arrested the younger Webb, pistol anC
all. The elder succeeded in making
his escape before Captain 0'Havel
arrived on the scene, and had not beer
captured at noon.

Late yesterday evening cries Of
murder were heard in the neighbor-
hood Of the foot of Beal street, and
several persons, among them Officer
Dean, who rushed to the scene, found
a mar and a woman bleeding profuse-
ly. The mar had a knife and the
woman a pair Of scissors, which were
produced in court this morning. When
the woman, Ada Marks, was called on
to make her statement, she e~xonerated
the man from all blame, and said that
while he was sharpening a knife it
slipped and cut his finger, the sight Of
blood, of which she had a great horror,
causing her to scream out. She did
not deny that she sustained an illegal
relation to the man, whose name is
John Keel. The man, on his part,
followed out the precepts Of Father
Adam, and laid the blame on the
woman, whom he said was insanely
jealous OF a female at a neighboring
saloon, and when he went there yes
terday evening she followed him and
made a ferocious attack upon him
with a pair Of scissors. He, sweet in
nocent, did nothing except defend
himself against the attack. Judge
Hadden decided the case pretty much
as hat Of Adam and Eve was decided,
by sentencing both. His Judgment
differed, however, in one respect. He
fined the man s25 and the woman $40.
The latter was accompanied by a little
girl.

me Dead City Of Versailles.

4 recent French writer has
aid that there are three dead
eities in the ~world-Rome, Ath-
ii and Versailles. The first two
have undergone a transforma-
tim : q new life has arisen for
them, by the side of their vanish
I'd past. Only Versailles, of the
three is wholly without vitality.
The breath of her nostrils de-
narted with the Ancient Regime.
The wide avenues constructed
for hundreds of gilded coaches,
the mighty palace that held the
population of q city, the park
wherein princes and queens
sought diversion-the hand of
death is upon them all. Nathan
Tel Hawthorne, IN one of his fan
cifrl tales 1.-THE "New Adam and
Ever, wrote of a catastrophe
that should sweep from the
world all OF its inhabitants, leav-
ing behind cities, houses, homes,
Just as they had dwelt therein.
Such a catastrophe seems to
have befallen Versailles. All
are departed, the princes and
pageantry, the kings and queens:
the royalty that they represent
ed, the aristocracy that bowed
the knee before it. Yet could
they but return - Louis the
Magnificent and Louis the Well
Beloved, Louis the Martyr, and
fair, proud Antoinette - they
would find their home unchang-
ed. Painted ceilings and gilded
mouldings, marble pannelled
walls and marble chimney-pie-
ees, all are untouched and I'M
disturbed.
