The black men will bo told all over Hie •country that it won defeated by the Uemo cratn.

From the start a radical conflict of opin ion upon what may he called the vital -v nesitoll of the day, was *i>re Repnltheaim of the East and West. They were separated hy a great gulf, such nn is seen to divide the plutforms of the .Republicans which assembled n fmv -days ago in Indiana, Illinois, and Yer nnont. At first the President was broadly on the aide of the inflationists, and went .ho far to proptn v a baiof raessago npprov .lngtheorigiiml biH. Suddenly lie changed ‘front udi.r fke manipulation of tiie bonil- Jholilers sud present-givers of Philadelphia, cw hair the Executive pendulum ssvupg over •Vi the other extreme. Mr. Jones of Nevada, silting‘in n pur • chased wait, became the oraelo of the White House, instead of Mr. Morton, who ?hnd hitherto shaped .the poll ay of its in •cwmbent. Ho that to make confusion aeNti ooufoundod, the President and the majority in Congress, divided into factions 'both claiming to represent‘the sentiment -rtf the same party, find themselves front I rtkg in Opposite directions, with a tinkered • ismiproiuiso hanging up like Mahomet's ■ Collin, as tiie result of a-prolonged contro •vorsy, nml which in fact ropreaents no iprineiplc that either side advocated when they parted company. So much for tlio cur rency question. Next in consequence and public intercut was cheap transportation. That was to be fait through without delay, no matter what rise might be postponed. Asa net result •wo have the report of a special committee ■of the Senate, whitih travelled the country over at the piihlio exprtise, proposing various wind projects at a cost of two 3i nnd red millions, apparently designed to diarntis tho sgrieultml interest with imwv burdens, and to open up afield for corrup tion, compared with which Credit Molii- Tier would boos a mite to a mountain. Add a areas of printed speeches made to order, and thh is wlmt was done for cheap transportation. Civil service reform, after having served •ass plank in the last Presidential platform, and as a delusion and snare for those ex •oelleut reformers who delight almost ns much in the name as they do in the sub stance, was slaughtered in the House with i none so poor ss to do it reverence. And •as if to consult the eternal fitness of things, Mr. Butler was chosen for executioner. The much vaunted “Indian pence policy ■of the President" shared a similar fate. For four years it engaged the sympathy of philanthropic minds, in -spite of constant •discoveries of rascality and rapacity. As long as the Commissioners held their -places hope still clung to t his organized system of plunder. They held on until j foriteamnoe Ceased te he a virtue; but at last the Secretary of the Interior contrived ; tv> force them out and clear the way for til! greater frauds. Mr. Delano has suo ■eettded in removing the hist obstaeie to •his venality, ami his tools on the ludi.-iu (Committee ImVe-gome the length of oshihl >ing the good name of Commissioners, who j gave their service and influence without Jee or reward. At the ontsfit there was a seeming rage for economy. The House cut dwtvti sain- I ■ries, reduced appropriations, and nppliod dhe retrenching use with vigatr. That en-i Ahuaiusm soon (lieil out, and wins followed , hy reaction w hich Ims ended by creating | new and unnecessary offices, restoring in ; May the high pay which was repealed in in March, and in undoing all Unit was done in the first paroxysm of pretended rod notion. The Benate ignored all the stpacious reforms, and then the House re created under the lead of Mr. Garfield from every position which it had originally Assumed. The salary bill was repealed hy nior.il ■coercion and sotoly Iron) the fear of indig sisnt constituenccs. Very few sin core ft vdvi w. re cost on that side, and since hheii insidious efforts -save wade to revive (he frauking privilege and othsi.iittsd'H which furmed pai lof the corrupt System that the jieoplo demanded should be *Wi pt away. I Ho, too, of the moieties. That cnncca sion was Mttortcd from a reluctant Oon ] press, and only yielded partially after a j determined resistance at every step in the i Senate. The Bullhorn contracts were swept away because tin y were too rank mid-offensive for toleration. In aliolishingfhe Washington Ring Gov eriililent, which the country, without re gard to party, demanded, tin- majority I condoned the crimes and corruption, and I with bated breath described the most dar | ing frauds.as “mistakes. ” Not one solid or honest reform Inis been | adopted. The appropriations have been [ diminished for effect, w ith the intention of supplying deficiencies at the next session, which will be a carnival of corruption. All the great jobs have been postponed untill then. The Bonute has initiated ono for the Northed I’itcifie., by which the cost of surveys involving threo-qnartors of a mil lion, and required by law to tie made by tlio company, is to be assumed by the Treasury. This is the entering wedge for a depletion of miHions by other roads having an eifially good claim to similar treatment. Such are the results of this lung session, without referring to the various investiga tions which the corruption of Che lb-publi can party hits compelled. This is the record upon which it will have to go to the country, and there can be little doubt of (lie popu lar verdict in Hie approaching elections. Ho far from having furnished relief or I having in any way contributed to bring back conlbhiuoo and credit, the whole course of Congress Ims been to make the situation more difficult, to augment flic embarrassments, and to disappoint every just or reasonable expectation. It is clear that this Congress is unworthy of favor or respect, and that the only road left to re form is to elect anew House of iteprosen tnviua, which will have the honesty to car ry out in good faith the will of the peo ple. [l-'rem flic Atchison Champion, Jane U. J CHAINED IN A CELLAR. A ll tilNvi<r Crime In KLa*■. On vesterdav afternoon one of the most ‘diabolical and fiendish cases of cruel mal treatment that has ever been our duty to record, was discovered in Northwest Atch ison, near the comer of Independence hv aiiuo mid Division street. About one year ago, as the neighbors sny, a man by the name of A. W. Fulle, moved into the house, a cottage one mul a half stories high, brought with him some very good furniture, proceeded to establish himself to nil appearances permanently. The man was described as being about forty or for ty-f!ve years of age, of rather small stat ute, and to all appearances quite unassum ing. The women in tlio neighborhood evinced a friendly feclingtownrd the fam ily, mid went -ever to call on his daughter, a young lady about twenty years of age. They were met ill the most polite manner, and told that he was living there with one daughter,whoso mind was not very strong, mid who wuHsuhjccUo epileptic tils when ever a stranger came into the house, mid lie know it would bo unpleasant for them to sec her. Of course this satisfied the de sire of the Indies who came to cull, but it ■ did not in the .least allijy -their curiosity. Afterward a‘w oman in the neighborhood went to Iho house when the man was away and conversed with tlio young wo man. Hlio seemed reticent, but showing no signs of epileptic tits, as her father had represented. This was early in January; nnd it proved not only the first visitor who got inside the house, but it was undoubtedly tlio last. All winter long the man ap peared to have nothing to do, and was continually seen around his bouse. All this was regarded very suspiciously, and occasionally, at night, a sort of frightful cry was heard from the house, it became a sort of eronio rumor that ho was in the habit of abusing his daughter, and that it was this cause alone that led her in this mental condtion. Ho strong had tlio ru fc mors become that Marshal Grail was in-1 formed of them, and for several days lie j had the house “shadowed,” or closely watched until yesterday afternoon, when I tlm man not being seen around all day it! was determined to at least to sen the cause, and accompanied by an ullioer lie entered tlio house. The girl slated Unit her father had gone to Kansas City for work, and would not return for a number of days. After look ing about the house for a time tho officer proceeded to explore a cellar into which the girl forbade him going. Lighting a lamp tho officers proceeded to the cellar and there found one of tho saddest and most sickening sights that could be imagined. In one comer, upon a filthy, dii'tyjfpallet, lay a half naked wo man, chained with an ir. n band around her ankle to a staple in the wall. The first question showed tho half-crazed men tal condition in which the poor woman was, mid the cause which produced her horrible confinement in this miserable hole. Hut one little aperture permitted ventilation, and tho hole'had a sickening, deathly smell, that was caused hy non-ven tilation and the dirty, filthy Surroundings. <>n a box, in a dirty old yellow dish was some filthy looking mint and stale bread. The chain was taken off her leg by tho use of a small iron bar and file, and tho poor woman stood on her feet. For one year she had thus been con fined, and never once saw the light. Tho girl said tlio woman was her stop-mother and was crazy; but tiro quiet manner in which the woman aerial would tend to dis sipate tho story, or, if it was so, tho npor ratiou of tiie mind must have boon very slight. Tho Jjmor woman, nearly dead from the excitement, was taken by the neighbors, kindly washed, dressed and cared for, tiuil by the change would hard ly ho known, She is a tolerably fair look ing woman, and doaon't bear tlio nppettr aueo of harming an infant. Her husband has disappeared along with the daughter, and an attempt will be made to arrest the parties. Tins Fortv-Third Cushhess Rivalling tub Ftinrr-HiaMNii. This Cougress is de veloping, in the closing days of the ses sion, a disposition to defy the Voice of tlio press and tlio people, and it now seems certain that appointments in tho Civil Service will be given back to the politici ans, nnd that the franking privilege will be enforced for use in the fall canvass. These two acta will serve to recompense the self sacrifice of Congress in repealing the sal ary grab,—AVer York Times. During tho trial of a recent ease in Louisville a witness persisted in testifying to what his wife told him. To this, of course, the attorneys objected, ami it was ruled out by the judge, lie would pro ceed to tell “shunt how it vns," when the I attorney would sing out “How do you i know that ?" “My vife tolo uie,” was the answer. This was repented several times, j Presently the judge, becoming unable to contain himself longer, said: “Suppose I your wife wore to tell you that the heavens had fallen, what would \ou think?” j “Yell, I dink dey was down.” i ‘f't'll ■, tent of ;iue currency 11 ILL AS SIGNED 11V THE PRESIDENT. .Section 1.

THE JEWS AS MERCHANTS AND MONEY-L ENVERS Tn one instance only liavo the Jews eon sented to elmngo their habits of life, and in that we discover anew the marks of their perpetual sufferings. From active and successful husbandmen and tillers of the soil they have been transformed into mer chants and money-lenders. They seem to have wholly lost that love for nature nnd that agricultural skill that lundePliidestiiie a land of plenty. In Babylon and Persia, under a comparatively gentle rule, they were rather farmers than traders. Even late in tho Homan period, and probably until near tlio sixth contiirv, they were chiefly mi agricultural people. Tho Tal mud aboauds iu allusions to the cultiva tion of fields mid gardens, of oil, wine, and wheat, fruit and flowers. Its nice anil varied riiles of conduct relate chiefly to the people of rural districts rather than of cities. When tho great schools of Baby lon mid l’uinbeditlm were flourishing, mid the vivid intellect of the Israelites was ex panding iuto a literature of commentators ami professors, tlie race was marked by an intense love for the Oriental lands they cultivated. But when the universal perse cution fell upon them, when tlu-y were liutcd from Babylonia and Persia, mid be gan that remarkable series of wanderings ■from city to city, and from realm to realm, that has lasted for more than a thousand yean, tlie manners of the race changed. They became a nation of traders. Indus try, thrift, learning, and rare acuteness they never lost, but;they were never again to>bccntuo tillers of the soil. They were forced to snatch opportunities of gain from the midst of their wanderings. They became tho most acute and untiring of; traders. Their wares and their profits j wore sneli as could Is; easily handled and j secured. They supplied tho barbarous' princes of Germany with tho most costly drugs nnd spices of the east. They dealt I in jewels that they could easily conceal or swallow, nnd in Oriental clothes that were of prieeleej value. They were the most active slave-traders of tho middle ages, | and the church v.iiuly heaped its mnlcdic- ; tiouson the Jow who should dare to pur-i chase Christian slaves. Tlieir capital iu j money probably grew from age to ago. j They were the common money-lenders of the early period. The Jews seem to have concentrated the w ealth of the middle ages among themselves; they lent their money at mi enormous interest, and upon ample security; they accumulated immense for tunes, which they were obi: "oil to hide from their persecutors iu an aspect of ex treme poverty. But their homo was never ■ again to be amid the soft landscapes of Babylonia and Persia; and crowded togetli- i er in u miserable Ghetto, living apart no j cursed and forsaken iu the walled, forti- ■ lied, and secure cities of western Europe. 1 they counted their secret gains, and some times displayed in their obscure dwellings u suspicious ami Oriental splendor. Tlieir daughters were clad iu tlie rich silks of Persia, and shone w ith the gold and gems of tho east. — Ex. ♦ —■ ——. INTERESTING TO MER HANTS. A correspondent writes to tlio Journal of Commerce and asks; In many of tho Htates, tho State law j exempts to the debtor a large amount of real and personal property. If a note is drawn payable, “waiving all exemption or stay laws,’ can a bankrupt under such a note avail himself of the law tho same thought the note had no such clause? , , This question is answered in tho nega tive. The Journal it has at hand a pre cisely similar ease decided by Mr. Waite, tiie new Chief Justice of the United States, in the Circuit Court at Richmond, Friday, j June 6th. It appears that on the 31st of January, 1873, Joseph Solomon, now a bankrupt, executed a note to Glazebrook! & Thomas, at, Richmond, Virginia, for the payment to them or their order of the sum of $234,60 at sixty days after date, with tho words added, “l hereby waive the benefit of the homestead exemption as to this debt.” Glazebrook ft Thomas endor sed the note over to Gibson it Crilly. lie was adjudged a bankrupt on his own peti tion, and the assignee set off to him his homestead oxpernptiou under tho laws of Virginia, without regard to this waiver. Gibson A Crilly therefore filed their peti tion in the District Court to set aside this set-off as it applied to the payment of their debt, in ease the remainder of the estate should bo insufficient for this pur pose. The District Court held that tlio act authorizing a waiver was unconstitu tional, could not bo enforced. It was then appealed to the Circuit. This Court, Justice Waite presiding, held thatalthough the exemption was in tlio State Constitu tion, yet as the act of the Legislature au thorized any person to waive such exemp tion, lie could do it, and this clause.in the note was sufficient for that purpose. The Court declined to consider tho question whether tho waiver could ho enforced in the Courts without the act of the Legisla ture; but wo think the principle is estab lished without it. Where a privilege, or right to claim, is conferred, we think that it may, unless otherwise restricted, he waived by the person interested, and that an agreement to this effect may lie enforced w ithout the special authority of the Legis lature, if there is uyiiiiug on the other side I<j prohibit it. "CIVIL ILK HITS" ON THE RAM PARE. The Montogomery State Journal gives a [ long account of what it calls “tho most j disgraceful and disgusting scene we ever I witnessed,” which occurred in tlmt city lon Tuesday. Cue negro woman of loose character, had sued for a warrant against another for threatening her life, nnd the jnstico ordered tlie offender to give a bond or go to jail. Bile resisted mid fought the officers and tho justice in his office—“biting, striking and kicking, breaking chairs, tables, liook-cases and everything.” Tlie officer who held to her most resolutely would not strike her, and every time he would get her so that he could hold her, other negro street-walkers -would pitch in and release her. Tho office was filled with negroes who would not help tho officers, though the reporter of the Journal says that he and others begged tho colored men to carry her out, but they would not ruovo.” On the contrary', they continually encouraged her by telling the officers they must not hit her. They did j not finally overpower her until one of the ! officers “had the flesh torn from Ilia face and was as bloody as a butcher.” The Journal says: “The conduct of some of the colored men wan very bud, even refus ing to help when called upon, and pre venting Andrew Mitchell, a colored con stable from the country, from assisting to take her.” Buell is the spirit of insolence that lias been engendered by the agitation of the i so-called Civil Bights bill, and which, if | better councils do not prevail among the I blacks, is likely at any time, nnd in.any I Southern community, to lend to serious j consequences. If the negroes will reflect j they will readily be convinced that no good can come to tlieir race by follow ing the councils of those evil-mimlcd per sons white or black, who seek, under false pretenses, and for their own selfish pur poses, to destroy the kindly and confiden tial relations between the races,theeontin j ned existence of which is the best security i they can have for tlieir fntnro peace and I happiness, and without which not only ! the visionary privileges which they are ' taught to claim and the rights which they now enjoy would bo valueless and of un ortuin tenure. — Sar. Neir. FRANKNEBS IN LOVE. One <*f the most essential things in all love-affairs is entire and perfect frankness, j Both parties should be frituk; true to | themselves, nnd truthful to each other. : How many uneasy, troubled, anxious | minds; how many breaking nnd bow many | broken hearts there aro to-day, in w hich ! content and happiness might have reigned i supreme, but for a want of frankness I A I little concealment of existing love, a little | covering up of a doubt orsnspicion, which a moment’s explanation would have re moved; a little affected but unfelt partial ity for a third person; n little cold disdain put on for effect ; a little uct of any kind done merely to torment and see bow much trno love would put up with; causes like these have est ranged those who might oth erwise have remained friends for life, con nected by tho closest tie which can bind human beings together. liepciitiuice comes, inevitably, for all these things; but it often comes too late, and only when the evil produced is incurable. In love, ns in anything else, truth is tlm strongest of all things; and frankness is but anot her name for truth. Then, lie always frank. You arc less likely to bo deceived yourself w hen von never try to deceive others. Frank ness is like tlm light of a clear day, in which everything may be plainly per ceived. Never |irt with your lover for a single day or night with any unexplained mystery lingering between yon to obstruct j the course of true love. Be frank. - THE WORLD LIVING BEYOND ITS MEANS. Nearly every nation in the world is ei j tlmr a borrower or lender, and tlie, start ling declaration is made by the London Daily Trh'tjraph that the.world, “regarded iu the muss, is living beyond its moans.” During the ten years ending with 1872, | while England reduced her debt 8175,- j 000,000 and Holland hers by $30,000,000, i there was an increase, in some eases ex- i oeedingly large, iu the debts of tho Uni- j ted States, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, { Tnrkey. Austro-Hungarian, Egypt, Brazil, j Portugal and Pern, to say nothing of other nations which are comparatively small debtors. France' has gone deepest, in creafiilisr her liabilities by about $2,500,- 000,(KH) in tho decade.

Yon send your Imy on an errand, nnd being in haste, anxiously await his return, i Five times out of six he is gone much longer than you think is necessary; ac cordingly you reprimand him for playing by tho way. Y'ot the boy is not at all to blame, very likely; for it is a lamentable truth that children are systematically sligh ted by clerks and shop-keepers. When a hoy enters a store, “in a hurry” invaria bly, he finds clerks all busy with eustom j ers, and resigns himself to wait his turn; but, just as he is stepping up to make | known his errand, a young lady sweeps in, ! For some reason or other the young clerk not see the boy, and immediately begins ■ to deal out his civilties to said young lady. !

CLEAR PROOF AGAINST YVHITLEY AND NETTLESHIP. Tlio Foul Con|.lrar>' Hatched by Secret Servlet Detective?-—Harlngton’* Cou ncotfon with tho [,leutoi H. Washington, June 21.—Tlie joint select committee bus been industriously at work for several days on the Harrington safe burglary. They have thoroughly sifted tho foul conspiracy, and are satisfied on the following points: First, that the plot was hatched by I. C. Nettleship, by and with tho knowledge and approval; of Col. Wuitoly, Chief of the Secret Service. Second, that the object won to implicuto Columbus Alexander and interfere witli tho investigation of tho District affairs or dered by Congress. LT3 r.Thoy w ill make a report ;to tho Senate and the House to-morrow night or Tues day morning, which will cover those points, and recommend that a copy of the testimony bo referred to the Secretary of the Treasury for such action as the case deserves, ami a copy to the Department of Justice with directions to proceed judi cially against all concerned iu this outrage. The proof is as clear us daylight against both Nettleship and Whitley. The testi mony given by Mike Hayes has been sub stantiated in every particular. Nettleship was compelled to substantiate nil his ma terial statements upon cross examination. Ho admitted the correspondence between himself and Hayes by telepraph and mail while tlie latter was in Canada. He ad mitted that the letters and telegrams pro duced by Hayes we're genuine, anil that ho hud written ami sent, them over tho vari ous aliases. But the roost important testi mony against Nettleship was that of two experts in handwriting, who swore posi tively that the anonymous letter received by Harrington informing him that the burglary was to take plaeo was in the band writing of Nettleship. Of course this is conclusive so far as,this precious scoun drel is concerned. As to Whitley’s knowelge of the lmsi ! ness tho proof is equally conclusive. I Hayes, in his testimony; said that he was j sent for by Whitley and ordered to rejxirt 1 to Nettleship in Washington at the Mctro j politan Hotel; that he came here and not ' finding Nettleship at the hotel he tele graphed to Whitley informing him that Nettleship was not on hand line inquiring what further he should do. Whitley swore that he bail never reeieved any tel grnm from Hayes, and that he had no knowledge of one lining received from him at his office. Now tho telegram from lbiyes to Whitley has liecn produced from the telegraph office in this city, and. wlmt is still worse for Whitley the records of the office in the committee, show that this telegram was delivered to Whitley anil receipted for by him iuilivi/Luuliy.. There is other equally strong evisfenee implicat ing Whitley, and Is-feiie to morrow night the committee will be in possession of still mere testimony. The uonnevtaiiu be tween Nettleship and llsrrisigtwii has also been clearly tiaeeiL uinl* no doubt what ever exist in the minds of the eomylieitly of Harrington and ether District ofiiciitls with these scoundrels iu the conspiracy. LETTER FKt/.Y SENATOR EAR TENTER. New Yokk, Juno 24.—Senator Carpen ter published a long letter here this morn ing in regard Ur Use so-called C'aipeaJter gag law, and suv* an arenrato statement in regard to this matter will satisfy every journalist w(k> reports the truth, anil will diminish the force of vituperation uttered by those of the profession who do ret. The law of libel is no more nufavomblo to the press than the statue against larceny is unfriendly to the people. Cue are the people's thieves and the other Kars. Hut neither is a terror to honest men, ami this bill is no more injurious to publishers than every law must be which looks to the im partial administration of justice. He knows no reason why the District of Co lumbia shall bo excepted from the opera tion of the general law, or why the mer chant should object to the courts of that district while making no objection to Fed eral courts in ether Territories and States. He says it is a fundamental principle in the jurisprudence of all enlightened coun tries that every trial ought to take place as near as possible to tho place where the cause of action arose, not only for conve nience of the witnesses, but to secure a jury in the vicinity. In cases out of com mercial transactions and in other mere transitory actions this principle cannot al ways bo observed. In many of tho Wes tern States, important branches of business are Conducted by resident agents; for in stance, the Pennsylvania railroad Company might loaso and operate a railroad in Wis consin or in Idaho. A party injured upon sncli road ought to have suit to try the lia bility of the company where wrong was committed and where the witness resided, and ought not to be compelled to go to Pennsylvania to recover for injury received in Idaho, or New York, where a capitalist chooses to do business. Cl VIL RIGHTS IN A HARDER SHOP. That was a good reply which a colored barber in this city gave to a delegation of colored men wlio called upon him for the purpose of claiming the right to be shaved “the same as n white man.” “Sir,” said the spokesman of the delegation, “we de maud tho right to be shaved here.” “It can’t be done,” answered tho col ored barber. Then tlio spokesman came down with a pertinent thrust, saying, “Ain’t onrmoney as good as anybody’s ?” And the colored barber answered thus; “Yes, just as good, but there is not enough of it.” That covered the case exactly. It was an answer worthy of a philosopher. The darkey’s money is as good as anybody’s to the barber, but there is not enough of it to compensate him fur tho loss of his white custom. The barber, in telling me this circum stance, said: “lam a colored man and have to work for a living, nnd the minute I commenced shaving darkies, that min ute every one of my white customers would leave me. The biggest Radical in town would quit mo just like the Democrats. It's contrary to the nature of a white man to mix that way with the negroes; and, what’s more, they won’t do it. Y'oit can’t get a white man in this town to shave in a shop where negroes are shaved; I wouldn’t either, if I was them; and I’m not going to break up my business to accommodate a few swell-head niggers, who want to put on all the style of white men.” Now, when colored men will not admit their colored brethren to the enjoyment of equal rights in the barber-shop, how are we to expect white men to do it ?—Chatta nooga Cor.

Tiros. Hardeman, Jn., Chairman Executive Committee. REPUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS AND INDIANA. There is n bine outlook for llie Repub lican party in both these States. In Illi nois tiie party has been demoralized by its lenders, and the leaders are now de moralized by the party. Having been told by their Senators and Congressnii n that tho stagnation of business is due to a lack of currency, many of their voteni will now drift away to the party which promises to give them more currency. With what face can Logan and Oglesby entreat them to stand by tho party when the party itself has gone back on Logan and (Iglesby ? Then the financial crisis, which is still grinding its dreary grist everywhere, will grind hard against them, for panics always tell against the party in power. The long list of exposures of official corruption has produced disgust and loath ing in the public mind, and this too, will send in a dismal account of stny-nt-homes on election day—enough f-o topple over many a Congressman who no IT fauceis himself safe. In Indiana the same causes will operate upon a constituency so even’/ divided that there is no margin to como and go. The farmers’ movement in both States means business, and in both will make a desperate push for the Legislature. It will be a distracting conflict, in tlio midst of wbiifii tlio Democratic party, en couraged by recent successes in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Oregon 7 wifi pat in an appearance, in all probability, with a hard money platform; and, if tho inflationists are divided, will have largo ; odds in their favors. Walking 1,000 Miles in 1,000 Hours- A Feat that will Cost a Life. —Spring- JU'lil, Mats., June 18.—Hugh Donahue, who is attempting on Hampden Turk' tho feat of walking a thousand miles in a thous and hours, wifi finish his eight hundredth mile at twelve o’clock to-night. His walk ing is at last beginning to toll on him. His cheeks mo sunken, and probably not on ounce of superfluous flesh remains upon his body. Ho finds it difficult to keep awake while walking in the night, and fell sound asleep while ou his two o’clock round last night. He has grown very ner vous and irritable, his vexation and rago when crossed amounting sometimes almost to mania. At other times ho has been de spondent because tho gale money has fal len so far below his expectations. His pulse was down to seveuty-qne this fore noon, and his physician says that the tre mendous effort he is making has developed heart disease, to which it seems lic'hns been subject before, and that sooner or la ter he will drop dead, as the result of his thousand mile walk. The physician still thinks, however, that his strength will hold out until Saturday, the 27th, when his walk will be completed. In other words, he will probably perform the feat, but will do it at the expense of liis life. Dr. T. N. Hopkins, of Thomasville, has the writing desk used by Gen.
