THE burden of Senator Sherman's Mt
Gilead speech, says the st. Louis Re-
publican, .'is the way in which the Solid
South nullifies the constitutional amend
ments and the Congressional election
law by depriving the negroes of their
right to VOTE" This, it adds, sis an old
story" To be sure it is, and true one
as accumulated facts show. 1t is simply
Stiffness to assert that in Mississippi
and South Carolina, and in other States
where the blacks are in majority, they
are allowed to vote unmolested and have
their votes honestly counted. There
has been time and again open procla
nation of intention to suppress theiI
votes, where such extreme measures
were necessary to give a white Demo
cratic majority. There is not an intellit
gent man in the country who does not
know this to be fact. The South has
been made solid" only through the per
suasive influence of the shotgun, the
tissue ballot and dishonest counting OF
the returns.-Cin. Com. Gazette.

HoadIy and the Colored Men.

By this time the colored voters Of Chic
should understand that they can expect
nothing but insult at the hands of Gov.
Hoadly and the Democratic party. The
history of that Mullen affair in Cincin-
natl is enough to convince any thinking
man of this fact. On the morning of
election day in Nov. last, Police Lieut..
Nike Mullen, who, by the way, IS an
Irish Democratic ward heeler, caused
the arrest of 113 colOred Republicans.
They were thrown into prison and kept
under lock and key until the polls had
closed. When it was too late for them
to vote they were liberated. No Charge
was made against them, and the only
object of their arrest was to prevent
them from voting the Republican ticket.
Mullen was arrested, and upon trial
in the United States Court was convict
ed of violating the election laws and
sent to Jail for one year. He was val
liable Democratic worker and the bosses
of the party desired his release. A petl-
tion for his pardon was circulated and
Gov. Hoadly was one of the first men to
sign it. President Cleveland granted
the pardon before the scOuudrel had
served three QuarteSs of his sentence,
and one of his first acts after getting out
of Jail was to go to the Democratic con
vention and vote for the renominatiion
.Of HoadlV There is another chaDtpr TO
be related. HOadly'S next move was to
request the reinstatement of Mullen as
a lieutenant on the Cincinnati police
force. The Democratic police board,
which Hoadly appointed, granted the
request, and now Mullen is back in his
old quarters ready to arrest and imprisr
on other colored men who may desire to
vote the Republican ticket. So much
for Hoadly and his love for the colOred
voters! This race whom he has so
grossly insulted will repay him when
they go to the polls in October.-Cleve-
land Leader

UNIONTOWN.

On Sabbath morning last, the rising
sun kissed for the first time a new-made
grave in the ST. Clairsville cemetery.
Within the casket reposed the remains
of one whose life was pure, good, and
trne. In the early days of womanhood
the Death Angel" called for her-loving
hands were stretched out to hold her
hack, but death proved stronger than
love, and her spirit passed away into the
realms of the immortal, leaving in her
own household loving husband and an
infant child, to mourn her loss, and
hearts to grieve wherever she was known.

MIR IRWIN, the Democratic candidate
for Representative, was a watchman
at the Laughlin Nail Works, until
they burned down a few years ago.
Since then he has been employed at in
tervals as d presser in the glass works.
1t has not been supposed by those best
acquainted with him that he had any set
tied political convictions. In 1876 be COM
mitted the objectionable sin in Demo-
cratic eyes of voting for Fraud Hayes,
after which he was Greenbacker for a
few years, and as late as last year, in an
interview with Pittsburgh Post re
porter which he secured, he declared be-
fore the Democratic nomination, that be
would vote for Blaine if Sam Randall
was not the Democratic standard-bearer.
We are not advised whether or not he
kept his word. Such a record is not apt
to inspire confidence in the breasts OF
the rock-ribbed.

N0ndRrfuI.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept 25th, 1880.
every seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
civilian Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at H. K. Porter s. Co.'S loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of a cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
''He gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the sem blance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were OF
such an indiscribable character that those VINO
most loved him sometimes thought 1t would De
better if he was called away. AT this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes OF
recovery.
E'The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNA. In two
ceptible. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite well as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work n machinist at his old place,
able to perform as much labor ever in his life.
- The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said Indeed, can not look upon
the cure much less than miracle. l do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends.''
The pastor of the church where the young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deformed
bones, the emaciated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his improved conditlon-
Said he, ''If he had not spoken, would not
have known him.''

illness, from Inflammation of the stom-

course of people A beautiful casket

flowers, and SHE loved them well. Revs.
Scouller and Thompson, of the Z. P.

was not afraid to cross "the valley of

Price and niece of Mr.. and Mrs. James

in which she is held. She is lost to earth
forever, but the hope of meeting her
again cheers the hearts of her loved

Gov. HoADLY, as reported Oy telegraph
to the Enquirer, said of the imprison.
ment of the negroes, at Cincinnati, by
Mullen, to keep them from voting:
"One hundred and fifty negroes were
brought from CovingtOn, KY, to a place
kept by 'Hogshead john IN Cincinnati
for the purpose of repeating at the polls
in the interest of the Republican party
Mr.. Mullen and his aids grabbed the
whole $50. 1t is true that l signed the
petition for his pardon; it is also true
that | went to see President Cleveland
personally in his behalf, aud of both
these things l am proud"
In sentencing Mullen to imprisonl
ment for this act Judge Baxter, of the
United States Circuit Court, said:
THE testimony demonstrated that you
knew some of them to have been citi.
zens of Cincinnati for several years pre-
ceding their arrest; and yet proceeded
without inquiry, complaint or proof. to
arrest and hold them in durance vile, as
alleged in the indictment, under
pretense of official duty, but in fact to
prevent them from exercising their con-
stitutional right to vote for Represen-
tative in Congress. The evidence of your
guilt was so convincing that your zeal
Gus and able counsel voluntarily yielded
to its irresistible force, and with your
acquiescence manifested in open court
consented to the finding made by the
jury. This finding thus obtained Is a
virtual confession by you that the arrest
and Imprisonment of the persons named
were for the wrongful purpose alleged
in the indictment"
Judge Baxter, who was not resident
of Ohio, and who was entirely unpreju'
diced concerning the matter, spoke Of
the facts as they were presented to The
court, and under the sanctity of high ju
dicial position. Gov. Hoadly now de-
fends the act of Mullen as party
measure.

was something marvellous, men in crowds
congregated wherever any news of the
terms upon which the agreement was
made, would be likely to be known. The
change from despair to hope was so sud

the time of this writing, it is impossible
to learn the exact terms upon which the
difficulties hitherto existing have been
adjusted, but it is said that it is upon
terms satisfactory to every one.
