MATRIMONIAL DEATH.

After lingering spell of conrtship de-
parted this life of single besscdness Feb
9th, 1854, Mr.. w. w. Sanders, Of auckland,
Va, aged about twenty. five. The services
took place at the residence of the brides
father, Mr.. NJ. J. Tyler, in the town of Fred
ericksburg, TO which place the deceased had
gone TO spend few days. While it has
been thought by his many anxious friends
for some time that the 'end would come ere
long" yet it has come sooner than expected
and has fallen as sudden blow to many.
On the streets of our village can be seen
groups gathered together and the excIama-
tons heard are, sit cant be; so sudden" Sc
The deceased was wel,known throughout
this entire neighborhood, and highly re-
spected for his honor, honesty and veracitv.
He has heen merchandising in this place for
several years. TO the single ladies Of our
community his loss is irreparable and will
be deeply felt TO your correspondent he
was a near friend and our prayer is that in
his new life all may be peace and happiness
and that the dark shadow of misunder-
standing may never cross the threshold Of
bis home

Never again on Sunday night
Wei see thee tripping home so light
Nor in the store with feet AT stove

For thee we sigh Oh gentle friend.
But thy condition cannot mend:
You're in the hands OF woman now:
And to her will you'll have 10 low.

can it is extremely displeasing, and induces
that paper to remark that "the mere fact OF
participation in war Of aggression in the
interest, of slavery creates no claim to sub
s,an,ial gratitude from the nation In
view of the immense aud valuable territory
acquired by the war referred to, it is hard
to conceive of n more Substantial claim to
the gratitude Of the nation than that pos
scssed by the old soldiers of that war. ii q
majority Of them lived in the North in
stead of in the South that claim would have
been recognized and paid long ago.

MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY %.

THE INVESTIGATION which General Ma
hone got Senator Sherman to propose, and
which is being conducted by Mr.. John >.
Wise, was resumed to-day. The nominal
object of the investigation is to prove that
the negroes of Danvlle were inundated
from voting at the last election there. lis
real object is to make republican capital Tor
the next Presidential campaign by firing
the Northern heart" against the South.
An insurmc,lntable obstacle to the accom-
rlshmeut of the nominal object Is the fact
that the Mahoncitc members OF the com
mttce of the Virginia Legislature which IN
v.s;igaied a contested election case from
Dauvillr, united with their democratic col
leagues last week in a unanimous report to
the effect that there was 30 such 'nImlda'
ton. nor the slightest ground for the charge.
General NIahoue doesn't maintain such dis
cipine among his followers now when he IS
in Washington rs he did when i'll Richmond.

place, If his conduct las been such that
he ought not to command the support Of
good men, then there would be good sense
In refusing to support him. But It il
admitted that in all respects, he is well
qualified TO fill the office. His character
is without blemisl. He is temperance
man not only in precept but by practice
He has already had several years expert
ence under Mr.. Metcalf as assistont
Prosecuting Attorney. Who is the man II
is proposed 10 vote for in place of Mr.
WebberS First, he is Democrat, which
is reason enough why he should not re.
ceive the support Of Republicans when we
have perhaps twenty-five Republican
lawyers in Lorain county, any one Of
whom is as well qualified to discharge the
duties of that office as Mr.. Sharp.
The question has been asked frequently,
"Who is Mr.. Sharpw He is young man
recently admitted TO the bar. We are
informed that he is entirely without
experience in a court Of record. Perhaps
assisting in the trial of one or two civil
cases constitutes his practice before the
jury. he is a clever young man with good
prospects before him Of ultimately making
a good lawyer
1t has been the aim Of Lorain county
for the past twenty years to put as good
lawyers in this important position as
could be found to take the office, as will
be seen by the following experienced
attorneys who have been elected; Hon.
W. W. Boynton, Hon. John Q. Hale, O. W.
Johnston, Geo. P. Metcalf, d. j. Nye.
Each OF the foregoing when elected had
an extensive practice, and the two last
named had served each three years as
assistant in the office.
The duties Of this Office are next in
importance TO that Of the Judge of Common
Pleas. No official, through incompetencY
and blunders, can cost the tax payers as
much as this officer. He is made the
legal adviser Of all the other county
officers, and every board of education in
the twenty.one townships. He must
appear before every grand,jury, prepare
every indictment, and present every case
to the jury that is contested. He often
meets the ablest criminal lawyers in the
state. Upon his ability and good jndge.
ment depends the proper enforcement OF
the criminal law in this county. 1t
would not be called good business man
agement to employ in an important
position man Of no experience.
We trust II will be some time before
the thiTty-fve thousand people Of Lolain
county turn over this important Office to
be left to the uncertainty Of experiment.

THE Sharp men thought to score a
point on the occasion Of the mass meeting
by suspending banner over Liberty street
with the inscription, "Vote for Sharp and
bust the ring" II was fastened to the
front of saloons on one side and to q
telephone pole on the other, and the infer.
ence Is fair that II was done with the
knowledge and consent, If not by the
express order of the saloon and whiskey
interest. The Democracy, we think
Justly, deny all knowledge Of the affair
and we cannot think they would be a
party TO so disgraceiul an attempt to
manufacture votes for Sharp by appealing
20 prejudice on q day when Republicans
from all over the county had met TO
consider state and natioual issues. Who.
'ver were the authors Of this petty scheme
hey tried to conceal their identity, were
ashamed of their own work, and strung
their little rag in the darkness Of the
night. The incident, at least, shows the
estimate the liquor interest place upon Mr..
sharp and ought to indicate the way all
.riends Of temperance and good order
lhould vote. We have the satisfaction Of
moving that the affair has already cost
him several votes and believe II will be
the occasion Of a reaction that will cause
many undecided Republicans 10 stand
Iirm for their own ticket.

10 anyone who has confidence in the
integrity Of President Garfield the suppo.
ition that Mr.. Blaine is dishonest and
unsafe as a politician and statesman is
absurd. The two had been confidential
friends for years. Garfield knew the facts
concerning the Mulligan letters and saw
nothing in them inconsistent with con-
tinued friendship and confidence. He
gave him the chief place in his cabinet,
made him his trusted adviser which action
is Inconsistent" with such character as
Mr.. Blaine's enemies attribute to him.
A charge which affects the character of
Mr.. Blaine affects either or both the intel
ligence or honesty of Mr.. Garfield.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-09-24

The standing charge against Blaine
that he suppressed the letter missing from
the package he obtained from Mulligan, is
proved to be false by the publication
Of fresh lot, held by Fisher g. Mulligan
until now, among which the lost letter is
found. The character Of those worthless
for fairness and honesty, Is sufficiently
shown by their allowing man, whom
they knew TO be innocent, TO rest long
years under false charge which they had
the evidence to disprove. 1t remains to
be seen whether the apostles Of political
purity who have been assuming that Mr..
Blaine was lying and drawing the most
damaging inferences from the supposed
suppression Of the letter, will have the
manliness 10 acknowledge that they did
him injustice; that in this respect at least
Mr.. Blaine was truthful and honest. There
is nothing In any or all the letters that
proves dishonesty in thought or action.
The most that can be said by his enemies
is, that they raise supposition, while
every candid nou-partisan must admit that
against a man whose previous life had
been upright, they ought justly 10 receive
the construction Of which they are capable
and which is consistant with purity and
honesty.

PITHY REPLY.
A Document the Independents WIZ Not
be In a Hurry 20 Publish.

The Rev. John Henry Barrows, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church
OF Chicago, having received circular
from the Independents asking his CO.
operation in their movement returned
the following answer:
l have received your favor Of Aug
ust 2Sth, together with political doc
uments which you desire me to read,
in the hope that | may aid you In
distributing similar literature. 1t has
generally been my habit TO think with
the Independent elements of the Re-
publican party, especially In regard to
administrative reform. You address
me as can earnest and conscientious
Republican" l sincerely believe that
you are right. | am as "earnest" In
desiring Republican success now as ever
before, and l am as conscientious" In
my opposition to the Democratic "con-
spiracy for plunder and spoils" as l
was In opposing the Democratic "con-
splracy against human rights" a
The move nent which you represent
has been thrown continually on Its own
defense: some Of its leaders have been
forced to disown their former opinions,
dlspassionately reached, In regard to
the Republican candidate; Mr.. Beecher
forgets the remarks he made at the
Arthur meeting in New York; Mr..
Shurz swallows the bitter medicine
which was so hurtful 10 him at frat
trial, and which he promised never TO
take again; Colonel Goldman joins the
Democracy at time which he once
pronounced improper, that Is, before 1t
had repudiated It's bloody opposition at
the South; and the result has been that
the Indepedent advance has become
a retreat with daily diminishing RANKS.
The literature which you kindly send
me I am already quite familiar with.
/ cannot aid In circulating 1t. Its
judgements / deem mlsjudgements, the
acceptance Of which would hinder aud
jeopardize the good cause which we all
have at heart. To me, at least, 1t is
significant that Mr.. Blaine is held in
the highest esteem by many Of the best
men which have the honor 10 call my
friends. He is cherished with equal
esteem by some Of the noblest men In
the nation; and 1 cannot circulate any
misleading judgements, however hon
estly entertained, In regard to his
character.
The literature which / have circulated
during this campaign includes Mr..
letter of acceptance, which has
not been surpassed In our history,
Edwin d. Mead's open letter to the
Boston Adveit tiser, Senator Hoar's
letter to a young friend, and
Governor Longs speech at fremont
Temple; and it is pleasure to know
that these noble documents have turn
ID doubters into friends and friends
nto earnest political missionaries. |
And every day strengthens my conf |
lence that the Inominatlon which, as
senator Hoar rightly says, was made by
