A sad sight was witnessed at the
Union depot last night. -Four lit
tie childen, named Ford, the oldest
about 10 and the youngest about B
years old, came in charge Of the
conductor from Waynesboro. They
were motherless and fatherless,
and were on their way to Bib
County Orphan Home. The
youngest was little girl, and
when taken off the cars was sick
with a hot fever. They were very
poor, and the reporter felt glad
that they were being taken to a
place that would be a home fol-

Campaign Scandals.
Savannah News.

Very little attention has yet
been given to this real issues of the
campaign. The press and the par
ty managers have devoted about
all their time to matters that relate
wholly to the candidates. The pub
lie has been sickened with scan
dals that ought never to have
found a place in reputable news
papers. The Republicans were
the aggressors. They first put
forth a nasty story about Cleve-
land. When Cleveland was asked
by his friends what they should
do about it he answered, Tell the
truth. An investigation showed
that the story had only a slight
foundation, and that it contained
nothing that lessenel the respect
of honorable men for Cleveland.
A Democratic paper then publish
ed story rejecting on Blaine's
private life which placed him in o
very unenviable light. Blaine
promptly denounced the story as a
falsehoood, and ordered libel
suit to be begun against the paper
which published it. He viii have
a chance to show that the story is
false probably before the cleo
ton.
1t must be apparent to every one
that while these stories tend to les
sen the respect Of the people for
their political leaders, they do not
make votes for either candidate.
The majority of those who believe
them don't care whether they are
true or not, and those who don't
believe them, or are in doubt
about them, will not be influenced
by them in casting their ballots.
1T is perfectly legitimate to at
tack Blaine's public record. IF
he was dishonest, if he was job
Der, if he betrayed the trust repos-
ed In him while holding great
public Office, the people ought to
know it. When man becomes q
candidate for Office he, in effect,
says that he is worthy of the pub
lie. He expects that his public
record will be scrutinized. If he
has held Office and been dishonest,
it is fair to conclude that if given
another Office he will be dishonest
again. 1t is right, therefore, that
Blaine's record in Congress
should be kept before the public;
but there never was any good rea-
son for publishing the story OF
Cleyeland's relations with the Buff
falo widow or the story that Blaine
was persuaded with shotgun to
marry the lady who is now his
wife. In all probability one of
these men will be President after
March 4, and it will not be pleas
ant to reflect that the occupant of
the highest Office in the gift of the
greatest nation of the world has a
nasty scandal connected with his
name.
1t is to be hoped that the scan
dial period of the campaign is
about over. Clevelands letter of
acceptance may be expected in
few days. The issue will then be
fairly joined, and the campaign
will begin in earnest. There are
great differences between the two
parties, and there are important
problems which the people should
want to hear discussed. 1t is
much better that the people should
be warned against the cAntraliz-
ing tendencies and corrupt prac-
tees of the Republican party, and
shown the injustice of the present
high protective tariff, than that
they should be entertained with
scandals about the private lives of
/ their candi]ataS

The Effects OF Araente.

In Cleveland Monday week IL ere was a
strange sight. According to dispatch in
the Philadslphia Press Il was girl with
golden ourls reaching nearly to her waist,
and yet with skin black as ebony. This
freak Of nature ia the only child OF q
family named Lorgau, residents Of Phila.
delphia until within short time.
She was noted for her beauty, and
moved in the best circle Of society. II
wac finally discovered that for some
time she had been habitual arsenic
eater and steps were taken to overcome
the habit. Shortly after she became
seriously i'll, an for long time her life
was despaired Of. Upon her recovery
yellow spots began to show themselves
on her face, and these rapidly extended
and grew darker until she was as black
as an Ethiopian. The skin on the body
not exposed to the air, however, remains
yellow. The case bAfflsd the physicians,
and she was taken to the Hot Springs Of
Arkansas, by her distracted parents, but
all to NO purpose. The young lady is
otherwise in good health, but is morbidly
sensitive, and has isolated herself from
the world, refusing to see even her most
intimate friends.

One day week before last a negro
woman of Chapel district accused one
Cornish, q oolored man Of the neiRhbor-
hood, Of committing felonious assault
upon her. Cornish was arrested and
brought before Justice A. W. p. Rebin-
son OF Easton. At the hearing the
woman swors positively to the assault,
describing With partioularity and detail
the time, place and circumstance. Corn
ish was committed TO jail to await the
action Of the grand jury.
On Monday the woman came to town
again, and went to the states attorney,
who had been present at the hearing,
and told him that the story she told
about the assault was all a lie; that no
assault had been committed on her by
anybody, and that everything she had
sworn to about II was false. Major
Stewart was sstounded, and when he
questioned the woman about the matter
she told him that she had been conjured
and put under spell by oonjurer in
Queen Anne's county, and while under
the influence Of this spell she had
brought this charge sgainst an'innooent
person and perjured herself. She had
since been to another oonjurer, who had
removed the spell, and now she wanted
the truth to come out.

Baltimore Day.
Lieutenant James B. LOCKWOOD Of the
i'll 'fated Greedy expedition, had numerous
friends in Baltimore, where some OF his
relatives reside. His father, Gen. Henry
Il. Lockwood, native of Delaware, lives
with his family in Washington. He Is A

distinction in the Florida wars. He then
resigned from the army and was appointed
professor Of mathematics In the navy.
While in this position he was Of great
assistance to Captain Buchanan, the first

he was commissioned colonel Of Della.

brigsdier general of volunteers. His
wife is q daughter of the late Judge

wife Of DIR. N. Duvsll Of this city. A
brother OF Gen. Lockwood ia q surgeon in
the navy.
Lieutenant Lockwood was born in An

or eight years ago he applied for an ap.
pointment to the army from civil life.
or q number Of youpg men who were
candidates, young Lockwood passed the
best examination and received one of the
appointments. He was assigned to q
post in the far west, where he remained
until he joined the Greedy expedition.
He is described by gentleman who
knew him we'll as q tall, stall
wart, handsome fellow, who seemed
made OF iron, and to whom his friends
were much attached. His character was
80 strongly marked by steadiness Of pur
pose and determination that he gave
promise of very useful career. By his
family he was idolizsd. Although some.
what prepared for his loss by his absence

whelmed with grief. Besides his parents
