Some gibiug newspapers in the late cam
paign were rather too severe and exaeting
about the grammatical drawbacks Of John A.
Logan. Success and defeat perch equally on
either banner-of grammar or no grammar
in this impartial land Of ours. The lack Of
grammar when it is humble and abeyant
is not cautiously noted by the generous and
considerate minded.
Perversely Gen. Logan's ''eloquence'' pre-
serves this lack, and here it may be said that
the collective eloquenee inspired by the
ease Of Fitz John Porter makes some of the
most curious reading in our legislative an
nails.
All or nearly all his advocates need balloon
attachments, as well as his adversaries.
Congressman Ray, Of Chensngo county,
New York, suffers more from appeals" and
rhetoric than anybody else, as viii be learned
from his 'eloquenee" in this celebrated
cause.
Il stand here in the field once more in behalf
OF Fitz John Porter and in the name OF the silent
dead soldiers who sleep where no sound shall
ever awake them 10 glory again In the business
cares Of the day voices come up and appeal 10
me; in the silent hours Of night voices come up
alA apritai 20 NE 70 60 justice 70 Jouu TOr-
ter. IL IL is not done on this earth believe
when the whole armies OF the republic shall be
gathered in the bright world above and when the
drum shall beat there viii be but one voice that
viii refuse 10 do justice TO and sing the praises
Of Fiiz John Porter. That will be the voice OF
John Pope"
Now would you believe that eold-tlooded,
thaukless astronomer has gone 10 work to
show that the burial Of Sir John Moore could
not have happened as Charles Wolfe's i'm
mortal poem describes it, because says the
unfeeling literalist on the night Of tie battle
in question there was new moon which did
not rise until four O'Clock in the morning.
SO that the dead of night by the struggling
moonbeams misty light, us poetic license
and you sigh at the havoc scientists are
playing with everything in the realm Of
faith, illusion and history.

Divorce Proceedings i'm High Life.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Dec. 14.-The best socI.
ETY. of this place was shocked to-day when j.
S. Cunningham, the leading physician OF
the city, and president of the board of educa-
ton, filed in court a petition for absolute di-
vorce from his wife for adultery Mrs. Cum
nIngham IL decided brunette, very attract
i've and vivacious. She dresses fashionably,
and has heretofore moved in leading
society, attracting attention where
ever she went The doctor
affrms that while she was at Chautauuua Lake
in the summer OF 1882, she became acquainted
with Geo. E. Maltby, Of jamestown, general
passenger agent Of the Chautauqua Naviga-
ton company. He is a fine looking gentle
man, of dark complexion, and has wife
and children at home. DR.. Cunningham
swears the couple registered at the Sherman
house, jamestown, as J. E. Ames and wife,
and occupied the same room, that this was
repeated at various other places, this city
included. Her maiden name was Sarah 4.
Campbell, and they were married at Plain
Grove, Lawrence county, Pa, in 1851. They
have two children, daughter twenty yearG
old and a son aged eleven. The daughter is
now in Chicago with relatives. Cunning
ham is the son of the late Judge Cunning
ham, Of Pennsylvania, and very prominent
here. Cunningham has fine residence in
ie most aristocratlc part of the city, and she
las always had everything money could
secure.

AMONG the voluminous idle rumors flying
about, traceable to no authentic source, is
one purporting TO be sent by special telegram
from Cleveland, Senator Payne's home, to
the effect that the Senator will never take his
seat in the Senate, but will soon resign to
take portfolio in the new Cabinet, which he
is sure will be offered TO him. 1t is also said
he will hand over his Senatorship to John r.
Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Very
likely it is as this wen posted
Q1tid aaase assumes, that Mr.. Payne
has a permanent presumption of
the Ohio Senatorship, and can retain It or
lay it down and bestow it on whomsoever he
chooses. Mr.. Payne is seventy-fve years
old and Mr.. Mclean is thirty-seven. The
latter might survive a Senatorial term, the
former may not, but might live through a
Cabinet term. But this fine line of gossip is
of little account. Ohio will not be robbed of
a Democratic Senator to make Cabinet
officer. Ohio is not entitled TO a Cabinet
position, per Sc, and yet, owing to the emil
nent fitness and desert of Mr.. Thurman, she
may be thus honored. Mr.. Payne will be
quietly permitted TO FIJI out his full Sen
atorial term, unless called upon TO pay the
debt of nature before the same may term

THE Philadelphia Times says of the colored
men Of that state that they hold the political
power Of both city and state in their hands,
and yet with rare fidelity have served one
party only, and that without the shade of de-
cent recognition. To this it significantly
adds:
Whenever the colored voters Of Philadelphia
decide 10 become intelgently independent in
politics, they will command the respect OF ali
parties. and they will not be compelled 10 beg
TO- petty mental places under white political
masters. There is not a southern state in which
the colored voters are not more respected and
more honored by the Democrats than are the col
ored voters by the Republicans OF Philadelphia
and it will continue so until colored citizens
assert their independence OF citizenship.

a maiden of thirty-one summers, is suing
Orrin s. Currier, 8 well-to-do bachelor of this
city. for breach of promise of marriage, es-
timating the damage at $4,000. Mr.. Cur
rier is fifty years old, and is well known
among the Methodists. Indeed, he is super
interdent of the Sunday school of the Brom-
field Street church. II was at the Marthaa
vineyard campmeeting in 1881 that the cou-
pie met, according to the plaintiff, who tesi-
fed that their acquaintance continued from
that time to April, 1882. At that period she
found that he had female correspondent

replied that he didn't think it was wrong, as
he was not aware that he had engaged
the plaintiffs affections. Tnereupon q
lovers quarrel issued, and they parted
never to meet again, but in three months
Currier begged to be restored to her affeCs
tons. He had given up the western woman,
and now wished to marry the plaintiff. His
visits were weekly after that, and on several
occasions he asked her about mar
rage and whether she preferred to board
or keep house. He also kissed her fire.

made several tides and rugs in anticipation
of becoming Mrs. Currier, but the expectaut
bridegroom kept postponing matters on vari-
Gus excuses, and finally in September. 1888,
he made his last visit. sharp interview
ensued at defendants office, in which he told
her that he had decided not to marry
her. The cross-examination developed
nothing interesting save the plaintiffs denial
of being particularly sweet on the defendant,
and her Characterization Of him as ''airt."
The defendants story was to the effect
that Miss Raddiu set her "capn for
him, and by her pleadings and
urgings made him somewhat
frequent visitor at her house. He fatty de-
MED all that the plaintiff had said about
marrying, and said that in October, 1883, she
actually proposed to him and he declined the
honor. Certain letters, chiefly devoted to the
weather and kindred harmless topics, were
put in evidence, and the court adjourned.
