Ex-Governor Allen.

became quiet. Their surprise at the
turn things were taking communicated
itself to their neighbors, and at last the
silenco was almost painful. Then Wil
liam Allen spoke—spoke in that great,
deep, full tone which was afterward
heard and became famous all over the
nation. Surprised, delighted, almost
electrified, that Ohio crowd listened to
him. For more than two hours he riv
eted their attention. Murphy and his
petty attack were never once alluded
to. The young speaker confined him-
solf entirely to the great publio ques
tions which wore then agitating the
popular mind, and displayed so keen
an appreciation of the necessities of the
situation, such a grasp of his subject,
and such familiarity with all its details,
that when he had finished the old men
who had keen appealed to by Murphy
were the first to press forward, offer
their congratulations and pledge their
support. His triumph was complete.
The fame of his performance spread all
over the district, and at the election held
a few days afterward he was elected to
Congress by just one majority in a total
poll of nearly 10,000 votes. Murphy
received only fifty-four votes in the
entire district, and in Chillicothe, where
he lived, only odo—his own.”
The Interest of the United
States in the Panama
Canal.
The following, from the Louisville
Courier-Journal, shows something of
the oharacter and spirit of the late ex-
Gov. William Allen, of Ohio, and how
he commenced his career as a politi
cian in 1832:
The Jackson men in his district ap
preciating his talents, put him up as a
candidate for Congress. The district
was largely Whig, but he went into the
canvass with hie usual indomitable en
ergy, and was the first to introduce
what is now known as stump speaking
in Ohio. He also sought the voters
personally, and talked with them in his
earnest and persuasive way. His ex
perience in that campaign is thus re
lated by the New York Times corre
spondent, who obtained the facts from
Mr. Allen himself. He says: ‘‘One
evening while he waB engaged in this
work word came to him that Murphy
was announced to speak the next morn
ing [at Jackson Court-house, twenty
miles away, and that he had promised
(o make a personal attack upon Allen.
The young candidate, although worn
out with the work of the day, without
a moment’s hesitation decided that he
would push on to Jaoksou Court-house.
A number of his supporters supplied
him with a slow-going but sure footed
horse. Three of them volunteered to
act as his guides through the thiok
woods which lay in his path, and in
their company he sot out. The night
was a terrible one, rain fell in torrents,
and thero was much danger from swol
len creeks and fallen trees. Still the
brave little company pressed on, and
arrived at the Court-house in time for
breakfast. They found half tho county
there. The Judges, who were friendly
to Murphy, had agreed to adjourn court
to give him a hearing, and hundreds of
leading whigs were present to listen to
he attack which was to be made on
the Jackson candidate. When the
Meeting was called to order, Allen, who
m the meantime had rested and re-
took a modest seat
of the crowd, and quietly awaited
disclosures. He had not long to wait.

London, July 8.—A Paris dispatch
to the Times says M. de Lesseps stated
at the last meeting of the geographical
society that he does not think the total
of the expenses of constructing the Da
rien canal will exceed 250,000,000 francs.
Ho endeavored to explain to the meet
ing that the difficulties of the work
were not so formidable as those which
had to be overcome in the construction
of tbo Suez canal, as a railroad already
runs along the course of the proposed
Panama canal, with large towns at
each extremity.
M. de Lesseps has just signed the
treaty giving him the concession of the
isthmus granted by the United States
of Columbia. Matters are now to be
pushed with the greatest activity. A
new company will be immediately con
stituted with a capital of 400,000,000f.
In a long conversation M. de Lesseps
this afternoon repudiated all interven
tion on the pout of the Government,
were such intended. He said that he
fully recognized the truth of the state
ment that the United States was entitled
to exercise a large and important influ
ence in the management of the canal.
He declared that the enterprise had no
character of special nationality, but is
a private speculation, though universal
in its utility. PariB is silently accepted
as the center of operations merely be
cause the French laws are severe, and
offer greater security to shareholders,
on account of the greater control over
the administrators of the funds. M. de
Lesseps remarked during the interview
that he proposes to offer Gen. Grant the
oosition of honorary President of the
company. Le Soir to-night announces
that M. de Lesseps will not start for
America till tho end of the year.
The Seward Case-
Washington, July 8.—The report is
current that George S. Seward, Minister
to China, in view of the renewal of the
impeachment proceedings against him,
will resign his mission.
It is a national disgrace that this
man Seward should have the privilege
of resigning. He should have been dis
missed hang ago. That he _ has been
guilty oFtlie gravest official misconduot,
to call it by the very mildest name, no
one doubts. That he has been saved
from the punishment due his offence
by Republican influence, is an acknowl
edged fact. Yet with a rotten reputa
tion at home and abroad, Seward is
still retained in office by an adminis
tration which professes civil service re
form. Cannot Air. Hayes find a Re
publican competent for diplomatic ser
vice in China ? Is the town pf Fremont
depopulated ? Has Ohio got her fill of
Fedoral pap ? Is there not a decent
negro somewhere to take the place ? Or
do Seward’3 “cousins and his sisters and
liis sisters and his aunts” prevent exec
utive action ? We think we can assure
the present Minister to _ China that if
he does not resign, and is not turned
out before Congrrss meets, he will be
kicked out very soon after,—Missouri
Republican.
The New Jury Law.
Savannah News.]
The new law relating to jurors in
United States courts makes some very
important changes in that business.
Heretofore the United States marshals
have been able to pack a jury to suit
their own ideas of justice, and in the
South they have usually picked out
Republicans for that service, and a good
deal of injustice has consequently been
perpetrated. The aot passed by Con
gress does away with this partisan fea
ture, as well as the obnoxious test oath.
The juror's fee is also reduced from three
to two dollars a day. The section re
lating to the selection of jurors is as fol
lows :
“Section 2. That the per diem pay of
each juror, grand or petit, in any court
of the United States shall be two dol
lars ; and that all suoh jurors, .grand
and petit, including those summoned
during the session of the court, shall be
publioly drawn from a box containing,
at the time of each drawing, the names
of not less than three hundred persons,
whose names shall have been plaoed
therein by the clerk of said oourt and a
commissioner, to be appointed by the
Judge thereof, which commissioner
shall be a citizen of good standing, re
siding in the district in whioh such
court is held, and a well known mem
ber of the principal political party in
the district in which the court is held
pposing that to whioh the clerk may
along, the clerk and commissioner each
to place one name in said box alter
nately, without reference to party affilia
tions until the whole number required
shall be placed therein. But nothing
herein contained shall be construed to
prevent any Judge from ordering the
names of jurors to be drawn from the
boxes used by the State authorities in
selecting jurors in the highest courts of
the State; and no person shall serve os
a petit juror more than one term in one
year, and all jurors to serve in courts af
ter the passage of this act shall be
drawn in conformity herewith: Pro
vided, That no oitizens possessing all
other qualifications which are or may
be prescribed by law shall be disquali
fied for service as a grand or petit juror
in any court of the United StateB on
account of race, color or previous con
dition of servitude.”
We frequently hear of bees creeping
into the ears of people, whioh is gener
ally attended with great danger and con-
sideable pain. A case of this kind was
reported to ue last week. A bee entered
one of the ears of David Liebeuknecth
of Lower Windsor townshin, and
although it would occasionally work
its way out so far as to be seen, all
methods adopted to eject it from its
hiding place proved unavailing; finally
smoking a cigar was proposed, and by
closing the nose and forcing smoke down
the throat into the eustachian tubes that
connect with the head, it had the desired
effect to drive tho troublesome insect out,
and thus relieved Mr. Liebenknecht
from any further trouble. This is a very
simple and certain remedy. York (l a.;

It is not every day that a pall
of the corpse. The Pitts-
>all bearer
pse. "1
burg (Pa.) Telegraph relates how a wor
thy citizen was sick unto death. He fell
into a stupor, which lostsd three or four
days. He was carefully watched by his
wife and one or two ladies. One after
noon the attending physician said he
could not live through the day, and the
sorrowing wife, with a view to having
everything in readiness for the end, held
a consultation with her friends as to the
arrangements for the funeral. The con
versation was held at the bedside of the
_ man, and in a short time all the
details were arranged except the names
of those who should be asked to be pall
bearers. Three or four young gentle
men had been selected, when the wife
said, “How would Mr. So-and-so do ?”
"Oh, he wonld do nicely, echoed the
chorus of friends, “he’s such a nice
young man.” There was a sudden
movement under the coyerings of the
bed, and the dying husband slowly
raised himself on one elbow, rubbing his
eyes, and said in a weak voice, “No he
won’t do. I ain’t going to have that
fellow for one of my pall-bearers.” The
ladies were astonished at this revival, of
the sick man, but the wife laid him
back gently on the pillows, and said
soothingly; “Never mind, dear, don’t
worry, This a matter that need not
trouble you. It is a sad duty which
we will have to perform after you are
of my pall
and I never did, ond if you are going to
have him I’ll get well, see if I don’t.”
Again he fell back in the bed, and be
came unconscious, but in a few hours
there came a change for the better. To
day he walks the streets as hale and
healthy as any man

The Prince of WaleB is not stupid
himself, but he likes to have stupid fel
lows about him as butts. Lord Ayles
ford has long served him in. such a ca
pacity, and Lord Clonmell, is often put
into requisition. The latter is grandson
of an Irish Chief Justice, who would
not resign his office for lesB than an
earldom, which he consequently got.
The Prince likes to get up “bear fights”
between his butts, and derives a great
deal of laughter from them.. After.all,
Treat men have done very silly things
for diversion. Cromwell used to de
light in putting sticky things on Beats.
Judging from Republican comments,
the South has no right of political sol
idity. And yet, says the Bridgeport
Farmer, so far as we know, that section
is subject to the operation of no condi
tions as to political aotion that are not
applioablo to other sections. No one
would be brazen enough to obieofc to a
solid North or a solid New England,
and there are no better grounds for ob
jecting to Southern solidity than in the
oases of other sections of the country.
