THE KIND of candidate to suit the
New York Herald would be Senator
Bayard. While the Senator was en-
tightening his constituents as to his Sc
cession views, and in favor of two con-
federacies, General Logan was march
ing to the front with his regiment and
Blaine was mahing the old Pine Tree
State ring with his clarion voice, urging
the people with every argument at his
command to strengthen the hands OF
President Lincoln and rendering him
all the assistance in their power.

aud were it not for the kindly feeling
the Judge" has for the Republican

ugly cartoon by representing Mr.. Blaine
as little BoPeep and his lost sheep,
headed by Curtis and Roosevelt,
coming down the long lane towards
home, carrying their tails behind them.

THE appearance Of the Asiatic cholera
at Toulon, city Of France, should
serve as q warning to this country
to prepare TO fight off the disease. The
health authorities Of all the seaport
towns especially should put in active
operation every means lying within
their reach to counterfeit the disease if
it should make its appearance here. In
pure cutters should be Immediately
cleansed, and all unhealthy localities
looked after. Even should the cholera
not visit this country all the money
spent in cleansing unhealthy localities
will be spent for useful purpose and
will bring its reward in increased gen
eral health.

A MARROW ESCAPE.

\ Man Pursued Through the Woods by a
Savage Panther.
FAYETTE, W. VA, October 2S.-On last
evening between shutdown and dark, as Mr..
Samuel c. Baxter was out hunting horse
on Stony Creek mountain he was attacked
BY a panther and narrowly escaped from the
animal, having no means of defense save
that of being on horseback. As Mr.. Baxter
attempted to cross q narrow strip of woods
between two pastures the animal confronted
him and disputed the right of way and as
Mr.. Baxter attempted to rush by it leaped
for him, striking him with one foot below the
knee cutting four holes through his pants
with his claws as if they were knives in
ficting as many painful flesh wounds. The
horse also was wounded considerably. Not
content with this encounter the beast ran
ahead few PAGES and crouched himself for
another leap, but Mr.. Baxter rushed by
without further danger at this point, hoping
TO cross the next strip of woods about two
hundreds without being moleSted by his ad-
versary, but on reaching this point he found
that his enemy had taken near cut on him
and was again in his pathway. Mr.. Baxter
passed him safely at this point, the panther
stole away in silence to the woods while Mr..
Baxter made forced march for home. Sew
eral men and dogs made an effort to capture
the animal but failed, as the dogs could not
trail him on the leaves, they being so dry.

RUMORED FALL OF KHARToUM

COLUMBus, O., October 2S.-The Supreme
Court, three Judges affirming and two dis
senting, to-day declared the Scott liquor tax
law unconstitutional The decisions on
several pending cases were all to this..efect.
The majority Of the court holds that the lein
clause of the law is license law, and there
fore the whole act is void. No opinion is
expressed as to whether the law is void as a
tax or license law.
The Decision.
The decision. stripped of its verbiage, de-
clares the entire law unconstitutional, and
it will not alone do away with the collec-
ton of the tax this year, only small por-
ton OF which has been paid, but will make
necessary for all corporations to pay back
the amount which was collected under
the law last year together with interest. 1t
will bankrupt nearly all the cities in the
State, as the levies for the year were made
on the supposition that the law was consti-
tutional and would bring into the treasury
of the counties and cities stipulated
amount of money. In Columbus, for ex-
ample, between ferty-fve and fifty thousand
dollars were realized from the tax last
year, and none OF that amount has
been paid this year, consequently its
departments are behindin the payment OF
salaries two and three months. Other cit
les in the State are in a similar situation.
The great question with municipal and
county authorities is how they will secure
immediate relief from the embarrassing sit
uation Of the Legislature not being in ses-
sion 20 grant authority.

PORTLAND, Nj, October 2S.-A thrilling

William T. Pancoast resided with his fami-

wife with the two other children had just
gotten out safely and Mrs. Pancoast
screamed to her husband, Save the chill

The Cool Manner in which Hancock Re-

WASHINGTON, October 2S.-Csptain Bur
ritt. of the Sunday Herald, relates this story
of the manner in which General Hancock
received the news of his defeat four years
ago: Which one of the candidates for the
Presidency, we wonder, will take his defeat
as quietly as did General Hancock. His
vile, who told the story 10 the writer, says
that en- the night of the election he went to
bed at ! o'clock utterly worn out When
she begged him not to retire so early, as
there would probably be some one who
would want to see him that night, he said
emphaticallY: 81 can not see anyone to-
night, l am so tired that | must go to bed
at once.
So he retired and slept so soundly that
when his wife, who stayed up to hear the
news went to bed she didn't disturb him,
nor did he awake until ) o'clock next morn,
ing, when Mrs. Hancock, having cough

had heard any news. She said she had

"All right" he answered, and turning

The Greatest Excitement Prevailing ut

The Greatest Excitement Prevailing ut
Cairo.
CAIRO, October 2S.-The greatest anxiety
exists here, at Wady Halfa, and Dongola
over persistent rumors from native sources
being aAoat at both the latter places, to the
effect that Khartoum has at last succum1 bed
to repeated attacks of the rebels Accord
ing to q native report received at Dongola
the rebels, who have been menacing Khar-
toum the past several months, recently re-
ceived large re-inforcements from the
mahdi, and early in the morning made a
sudden onslaught on Khartoum, and not
withstanding the fact that General Gordon
and his followers fought desperately. and
was in measure prepared for an attack,
the town was soon at the mercy of the
enemy whoswarmed into the place from the
surrounding country in large numbers. An
other report has it that Gen. Gordon was
surprised through the treachery of some of
the Egyptian troops under him, and was
compelled to surrender by overwhelming
odds after desperate attempt to drive the
rebels back, during which thousands of the
latter were killed. .
