particular lits il'lio knew I was out
sifter ten, nml tin- clock had just struck
out'. Tin; hack yard was nn impossi

There was a poivh over the front

other opened from a lirdrooin, which
illicit or inilit not i) o!v:i;ii! I. A n
old niaiden sister ot tlie "'nviTnor's
wile arrived on the sa ne dav, an I it
was very probable that she was in
that room, hut I knew the hnl was in
tho corner furthermost from (h . win
dow, mill I hope. I to he aide to get in
and through the room without awa
kening her, and then I should have a
comparatively ea-y time of it. So.
getting a plunk from the n, ilioor:ni
biurdpile, I rested it against the o.iws
of the shed, pulled oil' my shoes, put
them in my pocket and "eooneil."
All right so fir, hut I thought it ne
wssaiy, in order not to arums suspic
ion in tho morning, to remove, the
plank :so dragging it up I threw it
oil' tho end, and down it went with an
awful clatter on a stray dog that had
followed mo two or three sipiaivs, and
who immediately set up the most aw
ful whine a hound over cave tongue
to. That started half a dozen dogs in
t'te neighboilioo 1 harking; a mock
ing bird in tho window above com
menced as if he intended to split his
.throat at it, and a woman in her
nightelothes Appeared at tho window
.across the street. I knew 1 was safe
so far as she was concerned but if anv
one sl.o.ild come to our window the
candle would give light enough to
liavc discovered me. Xobody came,
however, and the lady after peeping up
and down tho street for-a minute or
rtwo popped in her head and retired.
'The mocking bird still kept up its
eternal whistle, and it was full half an
hour before he and the dog settled
down and gave me a clinnce to move.
Creeping slowly along the wall till I
reached the window, I put my hands
on the sill, sprang in, and with my
legs dangling out, stopped to listen.
Yes, she was in the room, for 1 was
sure I could hear her breathing. After
.waiting for a minute I cautiously
drew up one leg and then the other,
drew tlicm aronna, and putting them
die in his liniul, and come hurrying
up tho stairs. There was a wardrobe
near where I stood, and I sprang be
hind it. Up came tho governor,
reached the door, opened it, and went
in, and in the meantime there were all
sorts of confusion and impiiry down
stairs as to what was the matte. No
body else came up, though from where
I stood I heard every word of in
quiry and explanation in the room.
Of course they couldn't make much of
it. The little darkey was too much
frightened and too sound asleep at the
time to tell the truth, and the upshot
of the business was that they conclud
ed that she had been dreaming, and
tho governor, after giving her a sound
shaking and explaining the matter to
the aroused neighbors from the win
i .it. i .
uow, went wick to ins own room
again.
".So far so good." I now ha 1 to go
down stairs, reach tho back door,
unbar it, get into the yard, make for
my room, which was in the second
story of the brick building that stood
unconnected with, and about a dozen
yards from tho main one. After giv
ing everybody another halt hour to
settle down again, I started.
Hoys, did you ever try to get up or
down a pair of stairs at midnight
without without making a noise'.' You
may try it all sorts of ways, but every
step is sure to creak, each with a pe-
ictinar noise ot its own, and loud
'enough, you are sure, to awake ever-
body. 1 had got nearly to the hot
I torn, when a liltle dog came trotting
j up tho entry toward me, yelling fur
iously. A suppressed "come here,
I Zip!" silenced him, for he recognized
j me, but the little fellow started the
mo"king bird, and nil the dogs in the
neighborhood, having learned to take
the cue, of course, joined tho chorus
; for a third time.

I was directed to look out for my

door below, armed with a club, while
loinkins had five minutes to collect
aid from the neighbors, and in less
than half that time, so thoroughly was
every house alarmed, there were a
dozen or more men in the yard armed
with guns pistols and sticks.
The (Jovcrnor led the attack ; open

"Come out here, you house-breaking

Nobody came, however.
"Watch the door while I go in;"

Cixti.y.yrn, March 17. The storm
in this vicinity this morning was very
severe, ami caused great destruction to
property in the city. Several build
ings were unroofed and others blown
down. At Camp Washington a new
frame house was blown down. The
residence of Captain Patterson, near
Lollego Hull, was unroofed. At
Mount Airy the roof of the church
was entirely blown away. Two new
frame bouses, almost completed, and
located ut the head of the street on
Vine street Hill, were thrown to the
ground. On the farm of Dr. Wise,
near Alouiit I'lcasatit, tho orchard was
entirely (h'stroyed. On the premises
of J. M. Noble, in the same vicinity,
over one thousand trees were uproot
ed, and the fences blown down in every
direction.
'The bridge over the canal nt Long
view Asylum was lif.ed from its fasten
ings and deposited in the canal. The
barn on the fiirmof William Taphoru,
near Mount Pleasant, was turned com
pletely around on its foundation.
Tho train on the Indianapolis and
Cineinatti Uoad was lifted from the
track, leaving the trucks standing.
John Eagan, conductor of the train,
was severely hurt, and several passen

house would be aroused, and I would
be caught to a certainty unless I could

of course, making the awfulest racket

louder than a steam whistle, and they

moorings by tho gale, and carried
across to the Kentucky shore where
they landed among a lot of coal, dam

escaped injury, as she was running

to the leeward on her beam ends.
The waves washed and rolled over
her forward deck, and one of her fire

considerably injured, and a new unoc

Morse was almost entirely demolished.
The course of the storm was in two

of long duration, it raged with great

Mr. Pendleton, says a cotcmporary.
whoa while ago, was supposed to bo a
candidate for the Presidential nomi
nation at tho hands of the Democratic
party, is no more. Horatio Seymour,
who declines to be thought of lor the
Presidency, but whoso friends are
doing nil they can for him, dealt the
blow ; and lie did it remorselessly.
Tho Pittsburgh 1'onf, which in an in
considerate moment swunz out for
Pendleton and his scheme of Hags and
Repudiation, knows this, and therefore
mingles with its grief for the defeat of
its favorite, execration against the
great New lorker. And they who
were led into tho support of tho am
bitious Ohinan, go about tho streets
mourning for the late Mr. Pendleton.
Some of our readers may have read
what Mr. Seymour had to say of Mr.
Pendleton, and his scheme of I'as
and Iienudiation. Tho oreat Now
Yorker tells the little Chioan that the
issue will overwhelm the Democratic I
party, and that too, while it has
issues enough with the party in
power to win a victory. Mr. Sey
mour s disgust, therefore, for the new
and distracting idea of Pendleton is
quite beyond expression. Referring
to tlie l'eiidletoiiiiin doctrine, Mr.
Seymour says squarely, "it is enough
that honor forbids this, even if we
could stoop to aught that is less hon
orable." And bo has some word:i
which all parties and every class of
men should remember :
."Our debt" ho says, "is not due
until fifteen years from now. How few
who now discuss the question will be
living then? In tho meanwhile if the
country is well governed, if there is
economy in its nlliiirs, and tho rights
and liberties of our people shall bo un
impaired, cur population will be in
creased from thirty-five to fifty mil
lions; our wealth will be more than
doubled. Then this debt will rest
more lightly upon greater numbers
nnd greater wealth than it does upon
the depressed industry and dishearten
ed spirit of the people at present."
Coming to speak more directly to
Mr. I 'endletou's scheme lie says :
"It means we are to give the laborer
for his toil a base currency. It means
that the honor of our country shall be
stained; that our business shall be
kept in uncertainty and confusion;
that the laboring man shtill suffer by
tho increased cost of tho necccssaries of
life; that tax-payers shall be burden
ed by a Government proved to be
corrupt and imbecile by this very de
preciation of its money. Wo can't
afford to speculate upon the nation's
honor at so fearful u cost. If we
come into power there will be no dis-
no speculation
5
as one man, seeks to level up, not to
level down. While, therefore, we may
differ as to the construction of the con
tract with the public creditor, wo must
not confound the position of those
who think it right to pay in paper,
but who battle to make that paper as
good as gold, with the position of
those who mean to pay not only hi
paper, but who ara destroying the
value of that pajier. That is repudia
tion.
Let till lato Mr. Pendleton have a

bull is in motion. ThoPhi'ladelpliiiins
send encouraging dispatches to the
President. Chicago mass meetings
tell Illinois licpresenlativcs to im
peach. New York city threatens blood
and slaughter in behalf of the Presi
dent. Gov. Geary promises another
uprising lor fjnngress. And last, Mr.
Gideon Welles is "standing by" with
his redoubtable four hundred marines
to rush to the Chief Magistrate's pro
tection, it is time to tremble when
Gideon's band is hitching up its trous
ers, shifting its quids to starboard and
preparing to repel boarders! But Con
gress is iu earnest, and may bo the old
salts will see service shortly. Gen.
Logan says that if Congress quails this
time, ho wants an appropriation made
to iron-plate the thu members so that
the nation can kick them from the
Capitol to the White House without its
wearing them out ! Sound the tocsin !
I tlon t know what a tocsin is, but I
want it sounded all the same.
Gideon is not to be alone. Tele
grams offering support and encourage
ment to the President are still arriv
ing constantly. My position as Private
Secretary ml inti'rim to the Chief
Magistrate gives me peculiar facilities
for early learning their contents :

1. .That tlfc late, rebellion, w hich
cost our nation three thousand million
of dollars, and hundreds of thouatd
of lives, carrying mourning into al
everv family in the land, wits a Demo-.
cratic rebellion, got up iu the interest
of shivery, became the party was do-
teateil iu a I rc-sKlen'iul election,
i 2. That Democratic Nuvthern poljr
ticians, from ex-Presidents down to
memliers of ('ongrcss and Mayors of
our largest cities, encouraged their
Southern friends to rebel, w ith prom
ises that the Inemlsot the Union would
"hare lighting enoiigg to do at homo j"
that "the war should not bo South of
Mason it Dixon's line, but hero in thp
North," and that "blood should run in
our own streets.
3. That tho war once commenced
was prolonged for years by the efforts
of the Democratic party in the North
lo cripple the ( loverninent, to discour
age enlist meats, and in every praotir
olo way to encourage, the rebels lit
their desperate conspiracy against the
life of the J'epublic.
4. That every single Democratio
State except little Delaware, went into
the rebellion j mid that', was only pre
vented from doing to by tho strong
arm of the Government.
5. That while the Democratic Con
gressmen, Governors and Generals vi
olated their oaths, abandoned the flag
of their country and weut into thu
Congress and armies of the rebel Con
federacy, not a solitary Republican
from one end of the country to tho
other, ever turned traitor to tho flag of
the Union, or went into rebel Congress
es or rebel armies.
G. That while the Republican party
is now laboring to restore tho Union
upon tho bnsis of Impartial justice anil
the equal rights of nil InyuA men, th
Democratio party is arraying itself
against such restoration and striving
by every means in its power to post
pone reconstruction, as it did postpone!
for yciii's the end of thowar.
7. That 1 lie only restoration desired
by the Dtimoeratie parly is its own
restoration and that of its' rebel allies to
place and power iu the Government
and nation.
