Fellow Citizens': Wo congratulnto
you as patriots, us partakers with ua in tlio
'amnion di-stinv of American freemen, ti-
ti tlio n-sult-s of the Octol er.Slntu cleitioii.
We lejoice in the victory which the people's
ballots Jiavc bestowed upon the triemls ot
reform in thu valley of tho Ohio, where tho
Uepubtican hosts had an overwhelming as
cendency in every Presidential election since
1850. We, rejoice in tho assurance theso
ectiou.s convey that your ballots will bestow
lecisive majorities to'the allied forces of De
mocracy and reform in the November elec
tions throughout thu Union. Hut wo rejoico
not ns partisans ; we rejoico with you'as fel
low citizens
And when tho decision of this week of
1,000,000 voters along the valley oflhoUliii)
shall be ratified next month by tho lint of
8,000,000 voters throughout the wholo lie
pulie, wo shall rejoice, chiefly for the1 reason
that not one of its citiens can miss an equal
share with us who are Democrats, in tho po
litical peace nnd good will which will then
and there be established among all sections,
aces, classes and conditions of men, and, in
the nroipcrity of which political peace, has
cd on equal rights and Iraternal good will,
is-the first condition.
Upon tho three States of West Virginia,
Ohio and Indiana were (concentrated all tho
vast utns of money forced from tho 100,000
odiceliolders tf tjie party, in power.
Theso were fearful odds, not again to bo
contended against so concentrated ; for in
tio November elections tho contest will ho
n ovcrv Diio oi thirty-eight States upon tho
same day.
Nevertheless, against theso oilils tho Dem
ocrats and Reformers of West Virginia and
Indiana havo been victorious, and in Ohio
they have nil but rescued a State hitherto
deemed hopeless, nnd-have created an nssur
unco of victory in November.
If it falls to our lot as a Nntional Demo
cratic Committee to congratulate tho people
of tho Union "upon this yictory In tho first
battle of tho reform campaign, it is only be
c'auso Democrats havo been houored to be
tho leaders of the people in tho work of na
tional regeneration.
Tho victory won, tho victory still to be
won, will bo a delivcranco as much to ItO'
publicans as to Democrats.
Tho patriotio masses, of tho Itcpublicnn
Darty may bo thnnkful that the misdeeds o
their unworthy lenders havo been rebuked
and am to bo arrested. Tho sufiering whites
of tho South may lift up their heads to greet
tho dawn of a belter day for them us well as
the nation nt large. Tho colored citizen
may share tho general joy that he will soon
ceaso to bo the stock In trade of corrupt pol
iticians, but shall enjoy his rightful liberties
and his equality before tho law uniid univer
sal good will.
As for tho reform Democracy, to whoso
standard victory has been tied, with all her
garlunda on, it only remains for them to wel
come every rdly, every friend, close up Iho
ranks and press on, shoulder to shoulder,
under tho banner nnd with tho ono watch
word, ItEI'OHM,
Fellow cltlzcus; I'eaco between nil soo
tions ;. prosperity in nil our homes; of theso
you hnvo besu for years deprived by tho
mistaken solicitudes of pati lotto Republi
cans, played upon by selfish nud corrupt
leaders, who have kept tanning tho dying
embers of civil strife iu order to escnpo lu.
spectlon of tho trusts which they have be
trayed, For eleven years you havo lirnl the name
of jience. At no time have you had the
substanco of itcnccs In lieu thereof you
huvo had the grlndlm; tamtlon aud wasteful
expenditure of war, Jusl before overy elec
tion every year you hail the preaching of n
new crusade against u section utterly defeat
cd In war, nud anxious only to be complete
ly reconciled iu peace.
For eleven years the! power of the mi n
who have seized nwny tho control of their
party from tho bunds of Its statesmen nnd
founders Inn been. supremo lu almost eviry
lepnrltiiriit of the Federal government.
Discarding thu hope of prolonging their
domination by beneficent publlo measure,
they have created and tmlllcke.il upon public
calamities. Tho policy they adopted has
been worked out. Its failure has been absolute.
In place of past performances these snino
corrupt and selfish leaders now proil'er prom
ises already broken as their titles to further
trust.
Having prostrated our manifold industries
by the vast aggregates aud the worst meth
ods of federal taxation, they now again soli
cit your confidence as the Instruments of re
trenchment and reform.
Having debauched tho public service, and
having just now, in tho faeo of open day,'
assessed their nrioy of u hundred thousand
olliceholder.s tho people's servants' paid by
tho people's taxes in' order lo create im
mense corruption funds to frustrate the peo
pie's will, they now profess to bo tho cham
pions of civil service reform Having im
posed upon the Southern Slates tho rapacity,
fraud and plunder of the. carpet bag govern
ments, having almost mined the prosperity
of the North by destroying the prosperity of
South, having created terror, uncertainty
and confusion in till the productive indus
tries of the South, which furnishes niost of
tho exports of our whole country, keeps id
motion the commerce and manufactories ol
the North and East, and furnishes a market
for the agricultural products of tho West,
thev now purpose, by renewal of the same
fatal policy, lo prolong their own power In
the hope of concealing their misdeeds, and
for this purposo they do not hosrtuto tn re
new the crv of Intnlerenee, to revive the tly
lug memories of fraternal strif , and tn ap
peal to the feitrs and prejudices of tho timid
and tho Ignorant.
Fellow Citizens: Theso men and their
measures have been completely ttied and
have completely failed. An oppressive tax
atioti, mi exhausted South, an impoverished
Nottli, a fluctuating currency, the enterpri-o
of an industrious people locked lat iu th
paralysis ol hard times such is tho outcomn
of their political policy, such arc achieve
ments of , their loin; supremacy. Your bal
lots in November can alone dictate a change
of measures and a change of men. Shall
not the uprising of patriotism-along the val
ley of the Ohio go on to a complete aud ben
eficial revolution in tho administration of
the. government of the United States?
Will you not by the voice of overwhelm
ing majorities at the polls proclaim your In
vincible faith, aflcr all these years of corrup
tion and passion, in tho high, immortal
principles of government by the people for
tho people, in simplo honesty and strict
economy, a.s tho supreme wisdom of public
policy, in justice as tbo mother of power,
nnd in civil frer oin Mm be-ail of a line
llepbbl can na o a i y?
Will you not build up a new prosperity
for all tho people on the old foundations of
merican self government, on peace, recon-
cil'a'ii n ai d fraternity between all sections,
all clashes nnd all races embraced within
our system ojj American commonwealths ;
on frugality and economy in all governments;
on hoiic-ty nnd purity of adininistration.and
having lost vour prosperity through govern
mental misrule, regain that prosperity
through governmental reforms? Vt e com
mit this great issue to tho intelligence am'
conscience of the American people, with an
unfaltering trust iu tho wisdom anil justice
of their decision.

A ST011Y OF CIIICUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
lly Lawrcnco Leslie.
Many citizens of tho Sta'o of New York
Will remember tho excitement created dur
ing tho summer of I807, by what was gen
crnlly called tho "Weatherwax Murder."
l'lio nrrest, thu legal controversy concerning
jurisdiction, the final tn'al, and the howl
of dissatisfaction which followed the partial
acquittal, are mutters not easily forgotten by
those wiio then resided uear tho scene of the
tragedy.
The circumstances of tho case were sub
stantlally as follows : Captain John G,
Wcathorwnx resided in 185C near the village
of l'lutUburg. New York. He win a man
of good character, ono of a numerous family
of tho same name, tho settlement being
known for miles around as the Weatberwax
settlement. Captain Wcatherwax was, at
tho time of which wo write, about thirty
yeaf of nge, and the owner of a small craft
which plicd.on LakoChampIain trading wltli
New York, Vermont, and , Canada towns
along tho shore of tho lake.
The crew of this vessel consisted pf Ulni
self, his touslii, Andrqw Veatherwax, and a
man mimed Walter Urown. In the latter
part of June, 18.r,C, ho l(ft l'lattsburg with a
cargo (pr Canada, and on tho way back-
stopped at l'ike ltlvcr landing, on tup Caua
da shore, where he was to take on a cargo of
wood for l'lattsburg. During tho day, while
tho wood was being taken on board, a sharr
qunnel uroso between Captain Wcatherwax
and his couiin A ml row, and mutual throats
wcro indulged In, It was boon over, how-
over, but as Andrew, had become Intoxicated
ho wa rather morosu during tho entire
day.
Sj farovirythlng.i- plain and easily un
doritood i but hero tho mystery begins, an
what follows is largely based upon tho state
ments of tho third party, Walter Brown
lie stutcs that after daik(tho night was very
cloudy'nml starless) ho was standing 011 th
rear of tho boat and heard tho captain and
lits cousin (who wiru ut tho bow) resume
tho quarrel of tho dy( It steadily increaj-
cd in violence, threats vero exchanged, an
thouuh he could see neither of the parties,
ho could hear illitluclly nil that passed, The
wordy war waxes hotter, and suddenly lie
heard a eriuh ut of n blow crushing through
skull and train, mcwixltd by a heavy fall,
nnd ns suddenly fill wrj still.
Tho man lUtune I with bated bitalh aud
trembled ; his ttrst linpulio was to rush for
ward and offer assistance tu the wounded
iitnu, tut fear restrained him, and ho waited
tho result. In a 'vw minutes the captain
camo aft, but he was alone, L'lown noticed
or be thought Le did, that hs was palo and
IXClttJ,
qtiistion recognized tho body as that of a
man ho had seen employed on Wcathcrwax's
boat. Ho further testified to having heard
a quarrel on that night, ending with a
scuilo and a blow, after which all was silent.
The altercation, ho thought, proceeded from
Weutherwux's boat, and ho distinctly heard
Wcailierwaxi's voice in the quarrel
Of course suspicion was at once directed
to Weatherwax,andns he could givo no satis
factory explanation of his cotisili'sillsnppriir
iinee, Vn win arrested. Tin- preliminary ex
amitiu'liiti 1 ited lor nine dsys, and prodill-ed
great excitement, but resulted lirltU being
remanded tojsilto take his trial ill Iho ufx'
term of court lor thu ciiine'ot' murder.
The Veiitherwaxe's then beeaioo alarmed.
Few of them doubted his guilt : indeed
nothing seem d more certain ; but they were
not willing that the mime should bo dis
graced by 0110 of them dying at the hand of
the hangman, so they contributed funds,
tnployed able counsel, and made the best
Ivfeiiso possible. Mr. McMuters then and
now, wo Ue.iieve, a leading lawyer 01 that
country was engaged to defend him. Mr.
McMasters examined the case, and though
ho had no doubt of his guilt, he, like a true
lawyer, did his best for him. Not daring to
take his trial on tho merits of the case, he
succeeded iu establishing tho non-jurisdic
tion of the court, and locating the crime itv
Canada, The criminal, for such everybody
now believed him to be, was therefore set at
liberty, when he wos threatened with vio
lence if ho dld.'not leave the country. Ho
refused saying that he was innocent aud
would not stir until he was vindicated,
While a movement was being organized
to put theltllrcuts into extcutioii.Jiiu ollioer
arrival from Canada witli a requisition, and
he was taken ucross the lino for trial.
The trial wits among tho most remarkable
ever held in Canada. The ablest counsel
both of Canada'andNew Yoik wcro eugaged
for the prisoner, and by postponing the trial
for nearly a year, spiriting away some of the
most important witnesses of tho prosecution,
and other ingenious and questionable devi
ces, they succeeded in producing a disagree
ment in one jury, and finally brought about
an acquittal, after eighteen mouths of im
The community felt greatly outraged by
tlio result, and the nress- teemed with de
nunciation of those who thus conspired to
cheat justice. His own counsel, wishing to
repair as much as possible tho wrong they
had done society by rescuing a criminal from
a just fate, advised him to (lee. tho country,
and under another name strive by a better
life to repay society for its tolerance in
silil'ering him to live.
All such adiiicethe wretched man unheed
ed and returned to his old home, declaring
hs purpose to remain there until the cloud
was lifted from his former good name. But
though savcd.fromthu gallows, ho did not
escape punishment. The brand of Cain wa
upon him. Everybody behoved him guilty,
his old fr euds uud neighbors avoided him,
lie was pointed out as a murderer,and his sup
posed crimo was even hooted in his cars
many times as he passed through crowds In
tlie public streets.
Thus tho unhappy man passed eleven
years of his life, submitting quietly and
meekly to the aspersions cast upon him, and
wuiing patiently for his vindication. His
loss of character had brought with it loss
of property; business men shunned him, the
better avenues of t;ado and enterprise wcro
closed against him, and ho became reduced
almost to beggary. Hut amid all theso mis
fortunes ho wits still hopeful.
Thus matters stood until the eeily part of
October, 1SG7, when a man clothed in tho
garb of a sailor, uiado his appearance in the
village of l'luttsbuig.'und Inquired ftr Cap
tain John Weutherwax, The latter was just
then entering the post-office, where a consld'
erable crowd had collected waiting the dls
tributlon of the mail, and was pointed out
to the inquiringstratigcr. He madu his way
toward him, laid his hand familiarly upon
his shoulder, and exclaimed ; "How are
you, John '
John looked ut him a moment Iu bewild
erment, gave a suppressed; sat-am, nndie
plied :
"Cireat Heaven I has It come ut last "
Turning to tho crond in tho post-otllce,
which by this time had becomo iutcie-sted,
he said
"Gentlemen, my vindication has at last
come. For eleveu years I havo homo your
reproaches in alienee, hoping and praying
for this hour. Ibis is my cousin Andrew,
lor whoso murder 1 have suffered a punish
meiit many times worse than death,"
Tho men stared at each other aud at tho
sailor, stupefied with wonder. Andrew was
equally perplexed, for tho actions of both
parlies wero to him incomprehensible.
For a short timo there was a disposition to
regard tho new-comer as an imposter who
had been brought forward to relieve Captain
Wcatherwax of tho disgrace that had at'
tnelcd to him ; but LU identity wa-t oou
cstabllihed beyond tiuestlon, aud the inter
est iu the case deecnid, thousands coming
from all parta of the State to see tho man
who had apparently risen fiom the dead.
The account which Audrew gave of him
keif was that he left the boat on that event
ful evening, after tho quarrel, wandered in
to, ci ruin Uiop a shut Okt&uce from to land
ing, btcaiDO engaged iu a fight aud wu ar
retted. In tho wonihig he wm brought be
fore a magistrate; and fined but having no
money, and being Mllljangry with his cousin
ho would not go to him (or aid, and was on
the point of being taken tu Jail, when a
stranger iu the iiudleiice came forward and
ollcred to pay his fine If ho would engage to
sail with him, his vessel then lying at Mon
treal. He consented, nnd tho next day they
sailed for China j Btid for eleven years he
had followed the fea and never onco com
municated with his relatives. He now heard
for tho first time what one of them had
suffered on his account.
The matter of tho blood, and his hat,
which, it will be remembered was found on
tho deck, ho explained by stating that he
had had the nose-bleed during the day, and
that somo of tho blood had probably fallen
on the deck j tho hat he tossed upon tho
deck when ho decided to go nut, in tho oven
iug, taking n better one in its itend.
The Identification of the body found, the
quarrel, tho blow, nnd the voice of Weather
wax heard during tho altercation nro myster
ies nover explained.' Perjury can hardiy be
alleged, but there was certainly criminal
looseness In judgment which embittered the
best years of nn innocent man's, life, and
nearly sent him to uu untimely, aud dishon
ored grave.
It is hardly ncc'c-ary to say that there was
a complete revolution in feeliug toward Mr.
Weatherwnx. Every one seemed anxious to
compensate by klndnsss and patronage for
the wrongs so innocently inflicted before.
This was not unappreciated. Ilusinees pros
pered, and three years ago both Andrew and
John A. Wcatherwax were among tho most
contented citizens of Clinton county, New
York. !

the bats show uo Inconsiderable affinity.
I have spoken of tho opinion that the bat
is a kind of bird. This view seems to have
been entertained by the Jews, and the "bird
of darkness" is placed In Deuteronmy xiv.,

Ancient Touohknetj Glass. In a"Ilook
of Curiosities" we read: "There was an ar
tificer in Rome who made vessels of glass of
so teiiacioitSfu temper that they weer as little
liable to be broken as thoso that are made of
gold and silver. When, therefore, he had
made a vial of the purer sort, and such as
ho thought n present worthy of Ciesar alone,
ho was admitted Into the presence of their
then Emperor, Tiberius: The gilt was prais'
ed, tho skillful hand of the artist applauded
ind the donation of the giver accepted. The.
rirtist, thai ho might enhance the wonder of
the spcetators, and promote himself yet fur
ther iu the favor of the Emperor, desired the
vial out of Ciesar's hand, and. threw it with
such forco against the floor that the most
solid metal would have received some dam
age or bruise thereby. Ciosar whs not only
amazed but affrighted with tho act ; but the
artist, taking up tho vial (which was not
broken, but only bruised together, as if tho
substance of the glass had put on the tern
perature of brass) drew out.au instrument
from his bosom nnd beat it out to lis former
flguro This done, he Imagined that he had
conquered tho world, as believing that he
had merited an acquaintance with Cie-sar
and raised the admiration of all the behold
era. Rut it fell out otherwise, for the Em
perpr inquired if any person besides himself
was privy to tho llko tempering of glass,

A U-d-.rui. Tsr.i; -.Mr. Morgan, an Eni"
lish oi,u,ut resident Ui Brazil, cites, in a re- ,
cut report in Ills government, the caruouba
tree, a species of palm, ns one of the most
valuable vegetable production of the coun
try. It llou'iishes without culture nt Rahla,
Rio (truimV do Norte, and other well known
localities, resists drought, and appears greem
aud luxuriant. Its roots posess propertU
milar to thoso of the sarsaparilla. Th
runic furnishes a superior fiber. When th
tree is voting it yields wine, vinegar, a aej
harino matter, and a species of gum closelr
resembli.ig sago. Its wood is excellently
suited for the manufacture of musical itiBtra-
ments, as well as for tubes and conduits for
water. Tlio pulp of the fruit is very paint-
ble, and the oily nut roasted and pulverised
is a good substitute for coffee. The trunk,
also yields a flour similar to maizena. Witfc,
the straw, hats,brooiug and baskets are mad,
and over half a million dollars' worth of it
is exported to England yearly. Lastly, a
wnx used in the manufacture of candles U
extracted from tho leaves.
Tho JJultttin of tho French Anti-Tobacco
Society, in relation to 11 recent case of poi
soniu'g in Paris, recalls an episode of an
other celebrated case that of Count Uo
carme, in Belgium, accused uf poisoning
many years ago. While Dr. Stas, Professor
of Chemutry iu the Brussels Ecule Poly
technique, was engaged in examiulug the
intestines of the victim, he called out to
thoso present to cease smoking, as ho could
not endure the smell of tobacco. It turned
out that uo ono was smoking, but a ray u
tight was shed upon tho hitherto obscure
case, and tho appropriate tests being applied
nicotine, tho instrument of the crime, was
discovered. Had Professor htas beeu a smo
ker this detection would nover havo taken
place, and tho culprit, who was executed
would have escaped.
Tho late George D. Prentice, 'as is wall
uown, was one of the many great men oti
the world who have fallen victims uf strong
drink. The Gjurier-Journal, of which Pren
tice was so many years tho honored editor,
relates the following :
An excellent and honored citizen of Louis
ville was going home one night tipsy, for th
first nud last time in his life, as he protests,
and no doubt truly, when he met Prentle"
reeling from one sido of the.walk to the other,
'Prentice, exclaimed the elated uovic,.
I'm drunk." Staggered anew by this amaz
ing announcement, tho veteran slowly droto
himself up, with tho aid of a neighboring
picket, nnd surveying his disguised friead.
said severely: "Well, Josh, I havo bei
guilty iu my time of many scandalous thing
and some outrageous ones, nud some mighty'
mean ones, but, thank God, I never wsar
