THE DAUGHTER a hMROII/110,
It matters very little what the principle
may be—howaVer, gross and abhorrent so
ever—let it but be early enough instilled
into a child's
,mind, let, it ..baanoulcated
with the other leisons of the fireside, and
to thatindiviOnal, in ordinary cases, it
will ever a ft ertrds remain clothed in the
same garb in ich it was presented there.

opposed to every sentiment'of propriety,
and is essentially derogatory in all its ten
dencies, if it is subversive of all civilita
don in human society, and even if it be
absolutely unnatural and disgusting, in
such a case these features are veiled and
unseen. The children of Spiritualists -or

bands from among negroes, it is
_because
some white than or ironian hap s peped to
win their affections first. The event\ is
purely accidental.
ItitHEIT DM2111:11M
One of the most shocking cases of mis•
cegenation which has yet occurred to the
disgrace of civilisation of society in this
city has recently come to light, wherein
one of the parties is a negro slrayman, as
black as midnight, and the other a young
and in many respects accomplished wo
man the daughter of Chicago merchant.
man,
as the statement may seem,
these twain are_ man and wife, and their
marriage took place with the consent,
freely and unhesitatingly given, of the
bride's parents. It is something over a
year since the disgusting spectacle was
presented of a well-to-do merchant volun
tarily, and proudly even, giving away his
daughter to,the embraces of a negro—
something over a year, since the select par
ty of devotees to this admirable philoso
phy.gatbered together upon that festive
occasion to admire the troneaU of a ne
gro's bride, and witness the ceremony
which was to forever brand her offspring.
Atim that time to this, husband and wife
have lived together in the most affection
ate manner. The man Was ,Tier
her dearly beloved and no wonder they
should live happily together. The estab
lishment maintained by them .has never.
been an imposing one; it was early found'
that even money -could'' not'relitirehise
the position which the young woman had
once held; and the ne'wly-married pair ve
ry quickly found it to the advantage, of
all concerned to take a small cottage in
an obscure part of the city, where the
now continue to dwell, and from whence
the happy grown starts off with his dray,
after imprinting a kiss upon the fair
cheek DIME affectionate wife, smoking a
short black pipe, and gaily whistling
"
Kingdom Ccurihig," or some other pop
ular tune.
The citizen above referred to, and 1
whose name for ;common decency sake we I
suppress, is a strong believer in a certain
modern school Of politics, and like many
unfortimaie individuals in that party was
led far , astray from sound reasoning by
the boldly maintained fallacies and oily
,thetorie of some of their leading orators,
and became a firm and ardent supporter
of the doctrine of the absolute equality—
social and political—of the White and black
races. In '1,14 faith he rejoiced in bhing
of the strictest of his sect. His children
were, taught the same creed, and grew tip
with . a constantly deepening' conviction
that the questioeof color was but a silly
prejudice, and tliat the black man was, in
every respect after all the white, man's
peer, In this Way all the objections to
such a remarkable match had, been at an
early'. day uprooted from the girl's mind,
and she was
. gradually sobooled to make
Ithe extraord inary choice above mention

begin •to: move on' ;again. I have often
beard of athantages.being taken by poll
ticiaus at. the polls.; but• they say seeing
is. believing, and I can now • give you an
account of a free election. Last year the
election 'was, so much interfered with by
the military that less than one hundred
Democratic votes were cast, Tuesday
the election was free from interferencit. I
voted without a question being asked.—
We vote here at one place for the whole
township, three windows. The whole
vote of this county in 1862 was a little
over eight thousand. Strange to tell the
vote of this.township alone on Tuesday
was 9,265 'kites. Now, bow was the vote
made so.large? I went to the polls after
dinner, and while engaged in conversation
i with a prominent Republican of this city,
i I noticed a lieutenant take up eight sol
i diets , to vote. I remarked to the gentle
man that one. of them was certainly not'
of age; they were at the second window.
We waited until they were through and
! then took a good look at them, when my
friend acknowledged that he did not think
the man was of age. RUE stranger still,
we were both very much surprised to see
I the. lieutenant, give them each another
ticket, march• them to the third window,
and vote again. This was done in less
than fire minutes after casting their first
vote. My.eyes were now :opened4 and I
.
began .watching, and it was laughable to
isec this lieutenant, iu an open, bare-faced
Manner, send up a gang of ;nen that bad
I voted, every-few minutes. soldiers from
other states voted, minors voted, and all
without a single, challenge or - objection
being made. A quieter election I never
) sact v and every one seemed to think it was
worth a bead to. attempt to make an ob
.l jection to a soldier's vote. No Republi
ciao denies the illegality of the voting', and
jone'rentarked tome that he had no doubt
that thirty-three per cent. of the votes
cast Were illegal. Democrats •voted qui
ieily and then left the ground. I can prove
and would be willing to testity to all I'
Lave asserted. I know the officer by
sight; he boards at - the Mackey House, in
this city; I saw him go up to one soldier
and-handing him a ticket, say, " youlave
not voted.' The soldier replied, " yes, I
have." The lieutenant led him to the
windoW,saying, "no, you haven't," and in
-Went the vote. Such are the sights I saw
with my- own eyes, and many others saw
the'same things, and much that I did not

Massachusetts Voting in Indiana.
The Boston 'Courier of the 18th says :'
"V 'e have now before us theletter of
young Massachusetts soldier of 'the 100
days men, dated at Camp Burnside, In-
dianapolis, Opt. 11, and addressed 'to his
father at Boston, from which we make the
foll Owing extract :
"It is election daybere, and everything
is going on as quiet as possible. Tile on.
ly thing that I dislike in it, is, that the men
of our regiment Can go down and vote
the simie es if they lived here,. The tick
et that I Send you wail giVed to me by
one of the friends of Onv. Morton, for me
to go down to the city and vote; but 1
did - not see it, although a ,great
number voted. It' is a kind. 'of back.
banded game. Last Sunday, ,on our
dress parade, we were addressed by Gov.
Morton, who thanked us eor the service
we had done, and said he was well pleased
with our conduct while we were out
here."
The letter (says the Courier} is open to
the inspection of any one who wishes to
be assured of the sort of scoundrelism by
which a pretended abolition majority has
been trumped up in Indiana. The ticket
enclosed in a letter is of a sickly green
color, and headed ,' Unconditional Union
Ticket." The young man is not yet of
the age to vote anywhere, , who bad the
virtue to resist the example of his com
rades, and the Sunday political blandish
ments of the abolition candidate for Gov
ernor."
McClellan's Popularity Among the
Sailors.
An officer on board the United States
steamer. New Ironsides„ writing to a
friend in this city, says the Albany Argus,
makes the following interesting state
ment:
I will tell you a cireamsurnoe, which
yon may rely on, and it shows how Abe
is going to be elected-
"About a Week ago word was passed
through the ship for all the voters front
the State of New York to assemble on the
quarter deck, and as I am duly registered
1 went with the rest—some ninety men.
.All our names Were taken, and the ward
and-mityiwbere we hailed from. That was
all aboat it until yesterday, when we were
again, assembled and showed• a committee
of five men, whom the officer of the deck
told us, were sent there with the authority
to receive our votes.
" We' went to vote, when lo! and be
hold.! the first question was—' What tick
et do you intend to vote ?' Answer—
Democratic.' Can't take your vote,
sir,
we only take the Republican votes.'
They stayed on board about three hours,
and went away with their tails between
their legs like so many curs,with the great
big amazing ambunt of four votes out of
;Amity, for old Uncle Abe the rail-splitter.
One of the voters was a neovo, and two
were officers' stewards. 'Anyhow, they
may feel proud of their big four votes:—
That is a specimen of how , our army and
navy vote is taken. Read this to some
of the Black Republicans, and ask them
what they think of it."
Frauds in Cowahig Ballots.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says! "In
the town of Franklin, Johnson county, at
the late•election,.one hundred and ninety
two votes were returned by the election
board as the Democratic vote of the town
'ship. Since the election three, hundred
voters had made affidavit that they voted
the Democratic ticket, unscratched, and
nearly four hundred affidavits will be ob
tained. In this township seventeen more
ballots were found in the ballot-bor than
were names on the poll-book. This is one
of the ways Morton obtained his majority
in Indiana."

•
Love is a very uncertain, thing, and, it
is not safe to betoo certain of the aymp.
toms until they are unmistakeable. The
following will explain our meaning :
Vienna has been stirred up lately by the
comical result of a strange love story. It
seems that in the house ofone Herr Kuhne,
a teacher of languages, Dr. Sant, a young
lawyer, happened to make the ,acquaint
ance of a lady, burden - ed with some pro
perty and thirty years. The lady being
unmarried, evinced particular interest in
the young, shy, and rather abashed man
'of law. She made love to him, in fact,
very strongly, and persuaded him to visit
her at her house. But alas I be loved
another lady. One evening, while con
versing with the doctor, she said : "With
your favorable idea of matrimony, may I
ask if ,you ever thought of marrying your
self ?" Dr. Kant sighed, and Ins eyes
resting on the ground, hesitatingly mut
tered in reply:"l have already thought
of marrying, and made my choice, but—"
"But !" the lady hastily interposed.—
" But,' he
,continued, "the lady is rich,
very rich, and I am poor. lam afraid I
could hardly aspire to her hand, and,
rather than allow myself to be taxed with
sordid designs, I will bury my passion in
may breast, and leave it unavowed for
qver." At an early hour of the following
day, she, however betook herself to her
solicitor, and, in legal form, declared her
wish to present and hand over as his sole
property, the sum of 150,000 guilder!,
(.£15,000,) to Dr. Kant. When the docu
ment had been signed, countersigned,
and duly .complete she sat down in the
office, and, enclosingit in an elegant enve
lope, added a note to the following effect:
"Dear Sir—l have much pleasure in en.
closing a paper which I hope will remove
the obstacle in the way of your marriage.
Relieve .ine,r-so., Alice-. Martini." Dr.
ant, forhe and no other was the address
ed, was the happiest,man in the world on
receiving, this gracious, epistle. Repair
ing at once to the parents of Fraulein
Fischel, the lady of his love, he proposed
for and received the hand of a girl who
had long been flattered by his delicate
though unavowed attentions. Ills reply
to FranleinMartini, besides conveying
his sincerest , thanks, contained two cartes
de visite, linked together by the signifi
cant rose-colored ribbon. Miss Martini
forthwith sired the happy bridegroom for
restitution ;- but as no promise of marriage
had been made, the case was by two
successive courts, decided against her.
Outrages in Wayne County.
Last week Mr. Edinger, of Hawley,
was captured in that village by ,a
,detach
meta, of the cavalry force stationed here,
and brought to Honesdale , on the charge
of having interfered with the draft, by
aiding or counseling a conscript to run a
way. After having been kept penned up
in a close room with a number of negro
substitutes for two or three days, he was
finally discharged by the Provost Marshal
with the assurance that the only circum
stance that effected his release was that
there was not . a particle of evidence to
substantiate the charge upon which he
was arrested!
A German named Geo. Hulseman, liv
ing in Berlin township,. was arrested as a
deserter by a party of soldiers one day
last week. His captors fastened a strap
around one of his wrists, and thus attempt
ed to lead him to headquarters. By some
means, however, he managed to loosen
the strap, and plunging into the woods,
followed by a ball or tw,o , from .the pistol
of one of the guards, succeeded in effect
ing his escape. On the following night,
according to the affidavit, of. Mrs: Hulse
man on Friday, thernoldiers returned and
stationed a guard outside, one of them re
entered, and insulted Mrs. H. in the most
outrageous manner. It is alleged that he
declared himself as higher in authority
than a captain ; that, in short, he was the
Provost Marshal, and thereupon offered
her an ~agreement in writing that, if she
would sabrnit to his base desires, her tins
baud should be free from liability of draft
'for two years. Failing to effect his pur-
I pose by„tl4. means, he caught hold of her
and in the strnggle that onsued, tore her
dress and inflicted injuries upon her per
son: One of the children attempted to
alarm the neighbors, but was met. outside
of the door by another soldier who threat
ened to kill her if she did not. return. ,Qn
re-entering she reported more soldieu
coming, whereupon the first party took a
hasty departure.—Honesdale. Herald, Oct.

VOLUME XXI.
DEAE BROWER * * My reason for,
writing so soon is' to inform you how
things are gciing onhere in regard to the
election. Yesterday all the voting mai
bailing from the State of New. York were
told to muster on the quarterdeck, vvhe
we found all the officers of the vessel
assembled also. Of course, we imagined
we would have a chance to vote for our
favorite Little Mac, but imagine our sur
prise when a citizan stepped out and wad:
All you who wish ,to vote for Lincoln
step forward." Not, a man stepped out.—
At first we asked him if we could nit east
our votes • for Little Mao. He Laid' no 1
that he was authorized by the Republican
New York state committee to collect all
votes for Lincoln. Immediately they hoot
ed him, with cries of " Throw him over
board 1" "We want no nigger-lovers
here !" " McClellan is our man," etc.—
This happened before all the officrs, some
of whom laughed heartily over it, bet the
greater part felt very cheap. Our first
lieutenant than said to the agent: "Issid
you would not find many Lincoln votes
here," and in fact Mr. Agent left,like.a
dog minus his tail, having received only
five or six votes for Lincoln, out Of, about
four hundred voters. If it bad not.een
for the officers they would have handled
him pretty roughly, He was received in
pretty much the same way by all the
vessels. Now there are about five thous
and voting men in this fleet, all willing
and anxious to vote for McClellan. If it
were possible the' Democratic committee
should send an agent here. Perhaps they
will not allow him to board the vessel ;
at all events, somethinc , must be done in
this direction, or Little Mao will lose a
great many votes. H. C.
Never in the lives of men orthe history ,
of parties, was there a greater misnomer
than for the Republican party to - call it
self the Union Party, Its leaders are
branded all over with disunion acts and dis
union opinions. We will not go back to
the Helper Book, and its Congressional
endorsers, to prove this, but to utterances
since the war begun, and growing out of
Mr. Lincoln's election. We will even pass
over Mr. Greeley's disunion utterances, in
November and December, 1860, after the
election, and come at once to what Mr.
Greeley said in a letter to Thnrlow Weed,
dated March 13, 1883 :
" I do not admit the right of Nantucket,
or Staten Island, or of South Carolina, to
become independent with a view of en
riching itself by harboring and protecting
smugglers across our lines; but I do insist
that a people possessing within themeslves
the elements of an independent national
existence have a right to have such in
stitutions and enter into such relations
with other political ' communities as they
may deem most conducive to their own
well-being. If this be not so, then Wash
ington, Franklin, Hancock, Jefferson, etc.,
in declaring and achieveing our separa
tion from Great Britain, were not deserv
ing pbtriots, bat perjured traitors. I
meant to say to the South in 1880-81 :
" Be patient ; take time ; give ns of the
North a fair bearing before your people;
and then, if a clear majority of them decide
for secession, we will bold a National
Convention and let you go in peace."

Stumpf, member of the 7th Pa. Cavalry.:
