TUKBDAY NOVEMBER 11th IRVtf.
The Kew York Kloctlon.
Wo learn from our exchaoges that
Cornell, the Bepublicaudidate for
Governor baa been elected by a
plurality of not le«s than 35000,
perhaps more. The balance of the
Democratic ticket is perhaps elect
ed, though at this writing, (7th)
there seems to be some doubt aa to
this.
We are not at all disappointed at
the result; the bargain between
Tammany and the Republicans
was, as we feared it would be, suc
cessful. The defeat of Governor
Robinson is a calamity, not only
to New York hut to the entire
touutry, since it shows that hones
ty and faithfnluess in the dicharge
of official duty avails uothing
against party spirit. Moreover
the elect ion of Cornell places New
York io the catagory of doubtful
.States. If the Democracy can get
up a few more quarrels they will
succeed in making the election of a
Republican President in 1880 a
'•regone conclusion.
We think Senator Bayard could
carry New York in 1880, but to
elect our candidate, we must car/
Indianna and New Jeasey also;but
in the light of the recent elections
it vonld be folly to say there is any
certainty of doing so. Upon the
whole, we have little time and less
inclination to indulge in specula
tion as to the hopes and chances
♦hat the Democracy has to elect a
President in 1880.

OR A TALE OF THE AMERICAS
REVOLUTION !
BY HBNRY THORNE.
CHAPTER IY.
But Nina was not drowned; never*
theless if her parents could have seen
the immediate fate that awaited her,
they would perhaps have received lit
tle consolation from the knowledge
that their child still lived. The life of
hardship, suffering, trial and tlegreda-
tion that the coming years would
bring, was oue at which even the stout
est. heart might well have been appall*!.
As our story is mainly concerned
with the history of Nina’s life, (t will
be necessary for us to relate the man
ner and cause of her disappearance.
On the day of her disapfiearance a
boat had been seen in the creek
a shest dMtaaoe. below the residence of
$Jr. Hartwell, but as it had not been
discovered by him or his family, and
wa«. by the few fishermen who saw it,
supposed to belong to Mr. Hartwell,
its prgaenoe in that vicinity occasion
ed no remark. The crew of the boat
consisted of four, one of whom seemed
fc>. be the commander of the party; the
other three had the appearance of sail
ors of the lowest type and character,
ho. feet commander and crew might
have been transferred to any piratical
qraft without, doing the least violence
to the morals and purposes of either.
The sails of the boat had been ta-
in. when they had reached a point
not (hr from the Hartwell mansion,
though they were completely hidden
from view by a turn of the creek and
the thiok woods which at that place
bordered iU banks. While the boat
ip auchorod at this place we will take
tji*. opportunity to enter into a more
particular description of the leader of
the party. He was a person of me
dium. stoungly and compactly
huilt and was evidently the possessor
of great physical power. His face
was unshaven and was covered with a
tong unkeiuupt beard of a dark red
Color, and which together, with a long
course of debauchery, gave to hisap-
peataaoe^a hooce, repulsive cast. He
iworaed. about forty years of age, but
waainreaUtyfew years younger; the
unrestrained iudulgeauce of intemper
ate and othor debasing habits having
added so many years to his apparent
age. When ho spoke,the tones of his
voice were harsh and grating, aud the
Scowl which usually accompanied the
utteranoe of his words, rendered it un
pleasant in tho highest degree to whom
soever he addressed himself. His eyes
gleamed with a wicked, fiery look,that
warned every one who was in the least
a judge of physiognomy, that he was
a bold, bad aud dangerous man.
The name of the person whose sal
ient features we have endeavored to
sketch, was Powia Hales. Hu had
not always been the depraved man
that he was at Use time of his intro
duction to our notice although per
haps the Utcut seeds of his viciouB
fife were sown in the disposition and
temperment which he had inherited
with his family name. He was from
boyvheed of a rash impulsive temper,
iud being petted and spoiled by the
mist*»eo indulgeances of his parents,
Ip reason of his being an only son,
tkeae traits of character were intensifi-
<£and aggravated; ana thus when the
' opposition to his desires whs an out
rage on his rights, lu other words,
when young Hales had attained to
manhood he was supremely selfish—,
a trait not by any means common to
young men. Besides, he had acquired
as already intimated, habits of gamiug
and intemperance, so that by the time
he arrived at the age of twenty-five
years, he had managed by various
means to dissipate the large fortune
left him by his father.
Hales, when he found that he had
squandered his inheritance,learned like
Timon of Athens, aud as many other
good men have done, that those who
eucour&ged him in his dissolute habits,
and all the while professing eternal
friendship, were the last to come to
his aid in the time of need. ;He now
realized the painful truth tliat he had I
to rely on his own efforts to rebuild
his shattered fot tunes, and from this
time he became greatly embittered to-1
ward every man, woman and child,
and as he ojienly boasted,was of opin
ion that he had a legitimate right td
prey upon his species whenever oppor
tunity afforded; and, he had resolved^
to avail himself of every advantage
that clmuce might throw in his way, to
replenish his purse, and use every
means fair or foul, to regain the
wealth he had so luviahly spent.
The boat it seemed had anchored for
Hales to go ashore, aud this in reality
was his purpose, which he proceeded
at once to execute. Once on latid he
proceeded in a stealthy manner to di
rect bis steps toward the Hartwell res
idence until he arrived at a point where
lie was able, without exposing himself?
to obtain a clear view of the house
aud its surroundings. Here he re
mained stationery for some }>eriod of
time, resembling the tiger in his lair
watching for the approach of unsus
pecting victims. He saw Mrs. Hart
well and her child wheu they left the
mansion and when they entered the
summer house. Ho patiently waited
while the child was playing among the
flowers, rightly conjecturing that she
would after a time leave her mother
aud wander off from the yard. He
had no definite object to accomplish
in going ashore, save to seek an op-
portunity to inflict as much injury at
possible on the unsuspectingHartwells.
His familiarity with the location of
the mansion and its grounds demon
strated that the present visit was not
the first which be b*d paid to this
locality,
After a time Nina lift the grouaris
in which she had been playing and
went off in the direction of the stream
already mentioned,calling to her moth
er that she was goiug to the wharf to
watcb the boats—a very common prac
tice for her and the servant Fannie.
As we have said her mother had fallen
asleep, and of course no answer was
returned. Had her mother been awake
the child’s constant attendant, Fannie,
would have been sent with her, and
Nina would have been saved from
many long years of hardship and mis
ery—;• on suob lktle things doec the
fate of individuals and nations some
times hang. When Hales saw Nina
leave the grounds, and learned her
destination—for he was near enough
to hear and understand what she had
said to her mother—his face was light
ed up, or rather, disfigured by a fiend
ish smile that must have thrilled the
heart of his Satanic majesty with the
wildest joy; for at that moment Hales
had resolved to kidnap the child, be
lieving that it would be the heaviest
and most cruel'blow that he would ever
have the opportunity of inflicting on
the mother and father.
Hales, when he had decided on. his
line of action, glided swiftly back to
his boat and ordered the anchor hauled
in;, when this was done, looking stern
ly on his crew, he addressed thorn as
follows:
“My men, I desire that you will get
out your oars, and carry the boat rap
idly aud quietly upstream to tho wharf
at the back of yonder house; when
you get there, place this boat along;
side the one you will find there at au-
chor. On that boat there is a child,
which tor purposes of my own,I mean
to get in my ixissession. When I get
her in my hands and in this boat, you
will then as silently as possible and as
fast as you can take this craft down
stream tothe point weteftthis morning,
and I will then decide what we shall
do. If we are resisted, or any attempt
is made to capture us, use your pistols
without regard to sex or age. But mark
my words, unless we are discovered,
the first man that speaks above a whis
per, 1 will send him to the bottom of
this creek to feed its fish.’* With this
he drew a pistol f»om his belt and
•cocking it, ordered the crew to pull out
into the stream. Nina saw the ap
proach of the boat, but she was not
alarmed as boats were passing up and
down the creek almost every day. The
boat was laid alongside the boat on
which Nina had gone; in a moment
Halos was by her side; in a moment,
more she was gagged,bound and almost
thrown into tho bottom of tho other
boat,and was on her way ftom parents,
home, friends and all that made life
bright and happy for her young heart.
In making the capture, Hales hud pur
posely left the bounet of the child ly
ing in the boat from which she had
been taken, to induce the belief the 1
she had fallen over-board aud was in
this manner lost,
| CHAPTER V.
To understand to motive whioh ac
tuated Hales iu kidnapping Nina, we
must go back to a period antedating
by five er six yeara the time at which
our story opens.
It will be remembered that it lias
been intimated that Hales had squan
dered his patrimony, anti that it bad
become necessary to repair his shatter
ed fortunes, or else give up the indul
ges uce of his expensive habits and
quit the sphere of society iu which ho
had been trained up. The latter he
would readily have done could he there
by have obtain<*d the means of coutiu-
uing a life of idleness aud dissipation;
but this he could not do. He had
therefore resolved by some means,fair
foul to regain at least a portion of
the wealth which he had oo quickly
spent.
lu casting about for some scheme by
bicli he might repair hia broken for
a os, he decided on marriage as being
the plan most likely to succeed. He
imagined the more readily that he
would succeed in his purpose, because
having all the advantage of a finished
education and accustomed to good so
ciety, his address was pleasing and his
upi»earaucc good. The extent of his
debaucheries and confirmed habits of
dissipation wvro known to but coiujwr-
alively few; while what was known by
tiie public of Ins character in this res-
jieet was attributed to the high spirits
of early manhood aud the influence of
wild ami iiupmdeut associations. Older
heads, so it was remarked, could re
member the youthful outbreaks and
frolics of men who were uow good
citizens and pious Christians. Thus
public opinion, im.tt-ad of restraining,
rather encouiaged him in the wild and
ruinous course he was pursuing. How
often, alas! is this true of the world.
Let a young man of good fortuue and
high position in society start out on a
career of prodigality and dissipation,
and so long as he has wealth his short
comings are excused on one ground or
another, until he is reduced to peuu-
rity, and then that same society that
was so ready to excuse the errors of
youth, now turn to him the cold shoul
der, and are ready to cast him out as
a foul blot on humanity; and thus he
goes on from bad to worse until finally
his course is ended in a felon's cell
Now all this is wrong. Let every young
man,no matter what his fortune or
stauding iu lif«>be made to understand
that the great moral laws which
hold society to-gether, cannot be
violated without bringing upon
him the reprobation of all good
people, and that wealth, learning
and talent, so far from excusing,
serves rather to aggravate the of
fense—; let this we say be the
standard that shall be applied to
persons in exalted stations of life,
aud we believe there will lie fewer
fortuues squandered, aud fewer
lives wrecked among the young
men of our own dajand generation
In accordance with tbU plan
young Hales began paying hie id-
dresses to Theodosia Linley,whom
he had known from infauoy, and
who possessed in her own right
wealth sufficient to make them in-
<te|»endent aud comfor.able for life.
But there was an insuperable ob
stacle to bis success in this quar
ter—; the heart of Miss Linley
was already bestowed ou Edward
Hartwell, Besides, Powis Hales
waa not the manner of man whom
she could have loved even had her
heart been free. She was gentle,
teuder, considerate of the welfare
of others aad ready at all times to
sacrifice her own wishes For the.
happiness uf her friends. Hales
was the very opposite of all this-;
but above all he was selfish, and
Theodosia knew it; aud if there is
one fault that the lovmg heart of
a noble woman cannot excuse, it
is that of selfishness in her lover.
The case of Hales was therefore
hopelesa from the first.
Although he knew he was not
beloved by the woman he sought
to make his wife,and that Edward
Hartwell was the fortunate suitor,
he regarded the turn affairs had
taken as an insult to himself aud
an outrage upon his rights, and
from, that moment became the bit
ter and mffacablefoe of both. Still
notwithstanding such was the
condition of affairs, he resolved
not to abandon all hope of suecess.
He knew that Theodosia was kind
and self-sacrificing and would not
willingly incur his enmity; aud h*-
hoped therefore to extort from her
fears what he had failed to obtain
from her love—namely her heart,
or rather her wealth.
It will be necessary to the under
standing of this narrative, that we
give the concluding part of the
last interview which Powis Hales
ever held with Theodosia Linley.
Notwithstanding he had, previous
to the occurrence of th,e sevne
which we are about to relate, been
rejected by Theodosia, yet with
that rejection there had been min
gled so much of reluctance und
kindness in consequence of her de
sire io save his feelings, that he
determined to make one more
strenuous effort to carry off the
prize. Failure to him was pecu
niary ruin and henoo he had be
come reckless and desperate, und
was now in a mood that might
well alarm any female who was
oalled upon to cross his wishes
With this purpose in view,
Hales had gone over to the Linley
residence tor the purpose as we
have intimated ot making a final,
effort. He had been urging The
odosia to reconsider her action iu
rejjeotiug him, and in the earnest
ness of his entreaties had uncon
sciously risen to his feet.
“Think well Theodosia,” con
tinued he, 4 ‘brfore you send me
away deprived of all hope; remem
ber that you hold my happiness,
aye, roy destiny in your keening.
If you make my rejection final,you
make tuy heart desolate and ren
der life a burden too heavy to be
bor ne. Do not, oh I do not cast
away my love aa a thing of no val
ue, and thus drive me out iqto a.
world that will oc dark and gloomy
while life shall last. 1 know how
loving yo»r heart is, tbe homage
and devotiou I would render you
as my wife would, I am pursuuded
would make you happy iu the eud.
Surely 1 am not such a mount* r as
that my love and companionship
would reuder you miserable and
wreck your happiness forever.”
“Powis,” replied she, gently
yet firmly, “be assured that 1
would uqt willingly be the
means of giving you pain; why,
oh! why can you not forget me, or
at leant erase to love mo, and let
us be friends aud ouly ftiends? I
feel, nay more, I know I could
never give you that love that you
would have the right to expect,
were 1 to become your wife; it
would be a frightful mistake and
one which we would both regret.
1 would willingly make any sacri
fice to secure your huppiness; but
to do as you insist,would be wrong
in the sight of Heaven, aud I trust
you will forgive me for saying it
£&nt)ot be. M
Hales saw that his rejection was
final, and it roused all there Was
of evil in his heart. It was some
moments before ho could command
himself sufficiently to speak, and
when he did, bis language was that
of a fiend, rather than that of a
professed lover.
“You reject me finally and for
ever,” he exclaimed through his
clenched teeth; “so be it then; but
with my rejection take my mali-ion.
You have crushed my brightest
hopes, trampled my love under
foot, and sent me out of your pres
ence to lead a life of woe and mis
ery; and all this for Edward Hart
well. Let him, and you also, be
ware of me for the future. Never
lover pined for his mistress—never
miser sought for gain, with half
the diiigeuce and persistance that
1 will seek for opportunity to
make youi life aod his as misera
ble as you have made mine. I
wam you now that if time ever
places it in my power I will have
revenge for this insult and wrong,
and will drive you and him down
to beggary, peuusy, ruin aud hell
itself.”
He was gone, but it was some
minutes before Theodosia could
retire to her chamber, where her
fi st act won to throw h*rs*lf on
her kne^sand pray for divine guid
ance and protection for her lover
ud her-tlf.
