Cuuiot'i .und to tho vii'iuity of NaHh
villi?," whore he fixed hid home. Jt was
a Toya'o of -,0iio miloH, ami attended
with much adventuro and peril. Ilia
daughter, JIachel, then a girl ol ten or
twelve yeum, shared Its dangers as
well as tho dangers ol bcrlathor ft sot'
ik'inent in ft country interned by mur
derous HAvagos, where children could
not go a lilacknerrying without an
armed escort. Under such circum
stanccH sho grow to ho bold, hnndsomo,
engaging, lut,lrom lack of opportunity,
an uneiliicmeil woman, tier lather slor-
Uune rapidly increased under thrifty
und wine luonngemciit until he came
' to be regarded as the richest man in
ilhtit imrt nt 'l'l'mipKAfw. an thnt Llie

daughtcr was deemed un iiicHtimablo

BintoiH. During a temporary residence
in iveniucKy sue niaue tue acquaint,
lance of Caiit. Lewis liobardx, a gen-
tleman ol good nppcuranco und re-
8icctiible family. A mutual attach
ment sprang up and mnrriago was the
consequence. It proved iinfortnnalo.
The husband was of a moroso, sus
picious nature, while tho wife, who
hud been greatly indulged from child
hood, was lively, gay. founding and too
much inclined to innocent coquetry
perhaps to please a spouse of such a
dinoition. lie irrew unen'.v about
j iho attention she admitted from a Mr.
Il'eyton Short, a lawyer and highly ac-
coinplishcd, lor whose society living
nnder tho same roof, as it happened
she seenit'd (to Kobards) to have taken
a huiry. The free, high spirited, but
met virtuous woman that sho was,
naturally resented litis feeling on the
part of her husband and, detecting his
cxpinnuge upon her conduct which had
misled him into suspicion, with the
willluliicr- of her sex, hhe continued
to receive Mr. Saiort's civilities until
Itoburiln was enraged beyond decency,
and their Ircqent quarrels were a mat
ter ol general remark. A separation
become inevitable, and 51 in. Robards
prepared to return to her mother In
Tciineascc, her father having recently
been killed by the Indian;. Short wjis
on his nay to Virginia upon business
and heard of this, llovery improperly
addressed Mrs. Jlobards a letter con
doling with her in her trouble, avow
ing his uflcclion for her aud suggested
that she apply for a divorco and if the
suit was successful proposing to marry
her and remove lo the Spanish settle
ments on the Lower Mississippi, where
ho had somo interests. This letter,
which was confidently intrusted to a
friend to be delivered to her, by some
accidont fell into tho hands ol hor hus
band, and le immadiatultr otartad ill
pursuit of Short. Ho did not overtake
him until ho reached Richmond, Vft.
Short denied any guilt whatever on
the part of Mrs. itobards (as he did to
his dying day), admitted tho folly of
his letlor, and that he alone was lo
blamo, and expressed his willingness
to tight llobards, it that was his ob
ject. A compromise was effected, by
which Short, lo avoid scandal, and to
save tho woman ho had injured by his
imprudence from further harm, paid to
Robards the sum of $1,000, and thus
appeased his jealons anger. This
transaction, which is well authenti
cated, fairly illustrates Robards' char
acter. Mrs. ftobards in the meanwhile
had sent for her brother, Cupt. Samuel
Donelsun, and under his protection
was taken to her mother. She retained
until the last tbo respect and love of
her husband smother, with whom they
lived at the time of thescpurtion,and
who used all persuasion to prevent it,
and Ihcy parted with mutual embraces
and Icard.
Robards, on his rolurn home horn
Vtrcinia, was, after some time, con
vinced that he had wronged bis young
wifo and sought a reconciliation, visit
ins her in Tenncssoo lor that purpose,
Trusting in the sincerity 01 ins ad
missions and repentance she consented
to livo with him again but made R a
condition that ho should purchase land
in the neighborhood of her mother and
resido there. To this he agrocd, but
several months elapsed before arrange
ments for a separato establishment
could be completed, they in tho interim
making their home with Mrs. Doncl
son. At tho time there were boarding
with tli is lady two young attorneys,
Andrew Jackson and John Overton.
Tho hitter bad road law at Ilarrods
bnrg, Ky., and lived with the Senior
Mrs. liobards. He thcro mado the
acquaintance of her daughter in law
and no" his removal to Nashville to en
gage in Iho practlco of his profession
this acquaintance enabled him to lind
a home with Mrs. Donelsnn. He in
troduced Jackson to tier, who too was
received as a hoarder. 1 hey occupied
a small cabin to tueiunuivus, inking
their meals At tbc fnmilj' table. 'J'hoir
presence was felt necessary in those
perilous times on account of danger
horn Ike Indians, who wore con
stantly committing depredations in
the neighborhood. On Mrs. Robards'
arrival her condition, of course, became
known to them both. Overton had
already been made aware of it, and
both deeply sympathized with her.
Jackson, who was chivalry itscll in his
department toward women, paid hor
the moBt polito attentions. When re
united with her husband ho congratu
lated hcrnpon the prospect ol restored
domestic btt'pineH,ind without dream
ing ot disturbing it, oontmaod as polite
in his duty to her ns belore. This ex
cited again tho jealousy ol her unprin
cipled husband and all the former bit
ternoss between them was revived.
Jackson heard of it, sought an Inter
view with llohards and eipoeltilatod
with him upon bis conduct, An angry
altercation ensued, which endod by
Jackson threatening to ent Robards'
eara off should he ever montion his
uaiuo in any disreputable) connection
with that ot hit wife, anil bo aouuht
quarter elsewhere. After this the
parties lived very wretchedly to
gether for several months and until
tint. llohards wan informed of the set
tlement her husband hid made with
Short in Virginia, by which he bad ac
ccptcd money from the former, as al
ready related, in compensation tor his
(supposed) damaged honor. At this
hor indignation know no bounds, aod
she at once resolved to separata from
bim absolutely and lorever. Tbiireeo
Intion wis duly made known to bim
and ho returned lo Kentncky. Ho
applied to tho I legislate re ol irginis
(ol which h in tut ky wai then a part)
for a ellvorc on tn ground ot aban
donment, tha authority fnr granting
divorcei then rosidcd in tha Legisla
tnro. Talsipplioalion wis not resisted
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
and the report reached Tennessee and
was nniversally credited that a divorce
had been granted. Iho lionetson
family and friends certainly fully be
lieved it.
In tho Spring ot 1791 Mrs. Ro
bards, in compuny with somo Iriciids,
visited Notches, descending the river
on a flat-bout. Jackson was ot the
parly. It was either duiinghisab
seneo or immediately upon his return
lo Nushvillo lhat he heard of iho di
vorce. He then decided to marry Mrs.
liobards if she would havo him, con
sulting with her family in advance and
obtaining thoir consent and approval.
With this purposo he again visited
Natubca. Hib Buit was at lirst declined,
and it required three months' assiduous
courtship before Jackson could obtuin
the fair lady's consent to their union.
After living together in tho uuti
riago relation most happily for a cou
ple or yeais, Jaikson industriously
practicing bis proiession and raising
rapidly in distinction, was surprised
to learn that no divorco had been
granted by the Legislature of Virginia,
but only an act passed empowering
the Court of Mercer county, Ky.,
whore iiohurds lived, lo impunnol a
jury to try the cuso and grant the pe
tition upon legal prool. J his i.ooaros
had delayed doing until aftor Jackson'd
inlcrmarriago with his wifo and when
he himself had formed a marital en
gagement which he dosircd to consum
mate. So he brought suit, as authorized,
in the Mercer Court on the ground of
Mrs. Robards, 'livinir withono Andrew
Jackson,' and on that ground obtained
it. In tho Winter ot l.:n Mr. Jack
son was again married to Mrs Jackson.
Mrs. Hays and a Miss Hovel and Mime
othors of the friends of the family wcro
present.
Among lion. Jackson a papers arc
statesments corroboralivool these facts
from Mrs. Ilnwen, a niece of Patrick
Henry, of Eayolto county, Ky., and
mother of Mr. John II. Jiowcn, a Rep
resentative in Congress from Tennes
see; by Mrs. Sally Smith, widow oil
(ion. Daniel Smith, who succeeded
(en. Jackson in the United States
Senate in 1 Trill, and from Mm. I'.lir.abeth
Craighead, widow of Rev. Thomas ii.
Craighead, of tbo Wost Tonncsee i'reB
bylery. Theso ladies testify .to tho
unsullied purity of Mrs. Jackson's life
and conduct, with all thocircumslanccs
of which they wore perfectly ac
quainted. Tho Oonoral was devotedly
attached to his wile. 1 find frequent
allusions to her in his correspondence,
always evincing anxiety for her health,
comfort and happiness. Tho most

she was to him the doarost of creatures.
I know Mrs. Jackson well," once
remarked General William O. Butler
"and she was one of the best of wo
men. Certainly a kinder hearted lout
norer lived. It was interesting to ob
serve the General when (he was in his
company. His eyes woro constantly
upon nor,, ana no socmco lo anticipate
her every wish."
Mrs. JackBOn died very suddenly oi

eral's election to the Presidency. This
ailment had been agravatod by the
oruel aspersions ol hor character in the
newspapers and the naming indigna
tion of tho General in conscquouco,
chafing for, but denied, aa he was, the
opportunity of avenging her. She was
frequently seen weoning on this ac
count. She had never desired the
General s candidacy. When informed
ot his election she simply remarked :
"Well, for Mr. Jackson's auke I am
glad of it, hut for myself I am not"

She was attending hordomeetio duties

A GREAT &V1L.
Yellow oovors havo ceased to bo a
mark by which tb litorotnro of slang,
vico and crime can be selected or iden
tified. The publishers of that kind of
reading buve grown too shrewd to tioc
orato their tales and tragedies with a
nauge whoso ineauing the most un
pracliccd eye could discover. They
have hauled down tho yellow standard,
which, liko Ibe flag of a hospital, be
tokened the foalntMi and decay that
lay beneath it folds, and havo substi
tuted colore as various as tho huos of
tho rainbow and, sometimes, as somber
as tho small clothe of George Fox.
Hut we fear tho reformation ia popu
lar liloruluro is confined almost exclu
sively lo the fuoe it present to tho
public. Tho novels which borrow
their interest from crime; the thrilling
biographies of highway men and hue-
oonrcrs ; Iho ananvwre or young ladles
01 dtai..lliig beauty, OllUlil luniw, m.,J
defective morals ; the prison reflec
tions of eminent murderers who zest
fully detail tho incidents ol butchery
and burst into a frenzy of pious Zealand
Christian hope in the sniuo breath, arc
as plentiful as over and not a whit less
poisonous and prurient in modern
brown or drab than when thoy smiled
at us in yellow. Tho sale of this kind
of literature is Ininfbnso lur greater
than that of the better sort. Silently,
atcadily, and with lrrcsistiblo nowor,
t dues its work oil minds Which the
page ol religion and good counsel
never reach. It is everywhere. Hook
stalls are covered with it, It is thrust
into your bands in the cars. It is car
ried about from house to houso and
sold at such a cheap rate that many
well-meaning poor people gather liltlo
libraries of it. School hoys study it
by stealth between recitations and hide
it in their desks under artfully con
structed piles of grnmmars and geog
raphies. They know tl and lovo it
bettor than their lessons, and dream
ol it, In spile of themselvos, when they
would fain fasten their attention on
the blackboard or tho globes, it be
guiles tho leisure of the prizo fighter,
it lios worn and dogeared an the
counters of low drinking shops It
stimulates the burglar, tho thief, the
assassin, with tho potent excitement
of illustrious example. Jn short, it
docs more to educate Iho multitude
for live of cruno than all the other
litorature of tho land does to elevate
them lo lives ol virtue.
iiut there, is another and a more
ortontous kind of sensation writing
than this. It shuns tho coarse picto
rial novel and murderers' biography.
t comes to us in the lair typo and
clean pages of cheap magazine and
misnamed literary weeklies. It olten
times assumes the guise of fiction, but
the garb is bettor, its tailoring more
artistic than the soiled and shabby
raiment of the Kud iluntlino novol.
The objection to Ihis ipecir of compo
sition is not that it is positively injuri
ous to tbo morals of the pooplo who
read it as that it induces a sad wusto
of time. Its real offense and it is no
ieht one-hi that II degraduw the usi
ot tha multitude in lottors ; that it pop
ularizes a false and atiectcd stylo ol
writing; lhat it makes morotricions
and extravagant paragraphs tho stand
ard by which thousands measure the
value of what they read. It would be
an ungracious task, and, moreover, a
very luborious one, to act down the
names of the vast body of publications
hlch daily illtistiato the trnth nl
what we eay. Everybody who reads
these line will have a seoro of them
in hia memory. The only cure of the
evil lici in endeavoring in every possi
blo way to olevato the standard of lit

THE SCA XDA IS Of OR AX TISM.
Tho New York W'erklu Nun in en
gaged at present in publishing a scries
ot articles on the scandal ol uraniisui,
a subject that ii exceedingly prolific,
and will furnish a vast scope for the
pen ot tho historian. The administra
tion of Grant, during his eight years
ofrolo, was vicious and corrupt in al
most every way, aud the lull record
cannot be otherwise than very un
pleasant reading to any honest citizen
who baa at heart thewullareand pros
perity of his country. Horelofore,
whenever tho corrupt practices that
obtained at Washington under Grant
were called to tho attention ol Uepub-
Moans, a favorite meana of exercise
with them has been to lay tho blame
upon curtain ovil disposed individuals,
who according to thoir philosophy,
abused theoontidenceof tho President,
and in this way Grant has oftentimes
escaped just censure from doubting
Rcpublicuiis. If this were true, it is
bad enough. A President, who from
accident or inexporience, surrounds
himbolf with vicious and desperate men
as counsellor and friends, and place
them In positions of trust and respon
sibility, is a dangerous ruler, in every
way unht lor the high ouice he iioius,
and capablo of Iho gravest blunders.
Yot the S'iin doos dot allow Grant oven
this poor oxciiio behind which, lo
shield himself; it tear away all dis
guise, and holds Grant diroolly re
sponsible for shortcomings ol his ad
ministration. The first article publish
ed was a history of the cold transac
tions in Now York, on that terrible
lllack Friday, whon millions of dollars
were lost, and meie than two hundred
firms in Now York alone were bank
rupt through the corner in gold, which
was, the .Sun alleges, tho direct result
of a combination lor speculation be
tween Grant and the worst speculator
in New York. Tho articlo declare
nneniiivocallr that Grant wus a par
ticipator in tho event, and that he was
rewarded for preventing the Govern
ment from idling gold until Gould,
Fisk and their Cohorts had made rust
fortunes by advancing the prico ot
coin, and unloading to the merchant,
who had to buy, at prices fabulous and
rmnona. Mrs. Grant, it ia positively
stated, received $2.,000 from Gould ns
a part of her husband's shsro in tho
transaction. The evideuco presented
in substantiation of these assertion I
uncontrovertible, and a calm and nn
biased reader caunot ho other than
convinced of it truth. Tho second
irticle gives a history of the vlcioo
District ol Colombia ring, which rob
bed the country of forty-lure millions
of dollars, ami shows Grant' connec
tion therewith. The remainder of tho
lories will be awaited wilh interest.

tha reader oi the present day as a
strange namo for a Hemocratic paper;
n it moa . . ab
per itm thoroughly Jioniocrutio from
beginning lo end. This was. somo
years previous to tho reign of Grant
and other Presidents of like anti-Republican
proclivities. Up to this time
corruption and fraud on tho part ol
public officers had been tho exception
and not tho rule honesty was re
garded us tho best policy oflicers

was nominated by tho Democracy as
their candidate for Slulo Senator. Tho
opposition, tho big party, failed to
nominate a cnndidato against bim and
of course ho was elected. We lind by

previous to the day of tho election, we
spoke of our candidate as follows :

This Roprcsentntivo district In 1H52
was composed of tho counties of Clear
field, Elk nnd McKean, A. S. Arnold,
of McKean county, was tho candidate
nominated and elected by tho Democ

he had an easy race for the office tho
opposition not deeming It worth whilo
to put a candidate in tho field against
him. A. n. Arnold proved a lailhiui

numbered Clearfield with delegates in
the Convention, two to one, whilo
Clearfield polled more votes than Elk
and McKenn combined. Tho Democ
racy of Clearfield Booing that their
neighboring counties had tho power to
beat litem in the Convention every

nuontly relused to ucquiesce in the re

THE PRICE OF SHAMELESS
CRIME.
Suppose that tho President was a
Democrat and tho Senate wis Repub
lican, and the President would nomi
nate ex-GoVcrnor Garcelon, of Maino,
to bo Collector ol Huston or Portland,
how long would it require tho liepub
lican majority of tho Senato to decide
in caucus that the nomination must be
rejected ? ' "
Garcelon would be rejected under
such circumstance becausa he defraud
ed the people oi Maine out of thoir
honcslly-clcctcd Senate, Houso, and
Governor, just as J. Madison Wells do
fruuded tlio people of Louisiana out of
Sonato, Uonso, Governor and Presiden
tial Electors in 187fi. In Maine, a in
Louisiana, the people triumphed over
Iruud by the overthrow ol tlio iiiiikiu
Icnt usurpers, but tho crimo was none
tho less on tho part of Garcelon and
Wells. - -
Dut tho crime of Weill surpassed
tho crime of Garcelon in successf ully
defrauding his State out ol its 1'iesi
dcntial Electors, and thus defrauded
tho Nation out of its honestly-elected
President. The President who gained
his ofhee by lhat monstrous fraud, has
parted tho 1' uderal patronage ol l.oa
isiana among tlio chief criminals. Mr.
Wolls has been continued as Survoyor
of tho Port, with two of his sons as
subordinates. His commission has ex-
pircd.and ho has demanded its renewal
as Iho balance of unpaid purchuso-
nionoy for his fraud. The President
has hesitated, and tlniilly proposed to
pay the father by appointing tho snn,
anil the Senate must now meet the
issue, 1
lty the nomination ot Mr. Wells, the
President has iinbliishingly asked tho
Scnute to join him in rewarding the

emoluments, instead of making il infa
nious before tho country and tho
world. The Senate should not only
reject Mr. Wells, but it should bo so
prompt and emphatic in its judgment
of condemnation that the President
would read his own pointed reprool in
its action. PiiilaMfihia Tim.
