Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at
once agreeable,
healthy, an tl
effectual f oe
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
o• gray hair
color, with the
gloss and freshness of youtk. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious co the hair, the Vigor can , only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white 'Cambric, and yet la:ts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glo::sy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Cherry Pectoral
For Dim:Laos of tho Throat and Lungs

Among tho great

more rent value to
mankind than this ell.
fectunl remedy fur nil
diseases of the Thrmit
nod Lungs. A cast
trial of its virtues,
throughout this and
other countries, has
shown that it does
surely and effectually
control them. The testimony 'of our best citi
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CIIERRY PECTORAL will and does relieve and
cum the nfilicting disorders of the Throat and
/AIM beyond ally ether medicine. The mat •
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consurap.
lion, curet by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to bp be
lieved, were they not proven beyotid dispute.
As is remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, It saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hood as n protection against the early
Mot tomerceired attack of Pulmonary A ff ections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and It is unwise to
be without it. As n safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
nod Chest of Child1100(1, CHERRY PECTORAL
is inynlunbte; for, by its . timely use, multi.
hides are rescued from premature graves, and
saved, to the love nod affection centred on them.
It acts speedilrand surely against ordinary colds,
securing sou n d nod health-restoring sleep. Iyo
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and rota

DEATH OF FANNY FERN;
The N. Y. Tribune says.
Sara Payson Willis, wile of James Parton,
whose death occurred last week, though she
has left few enduring literary works. has
, arned with her pen a wide ce obrity. Born
at Portland Me., in 1811, she seems to have
passed through a somewhat stormy and cloudy
girlhood and womanhood, and passed Into a
mature lila before she made and entrance into
the Sold of literature. She was a desmmdani
of two old Puritan families of New England,
and, in common with her brother, N. P. W
e, inherited Irt,m her lather and mother a
. . .
large share of mental power and genius. The
lather of Sara Willis was a founder of " The
Puritan Recorder," a religious journal, pub.
balled In Boston, and of '•The Youth's Com•
minion," printed in the same city. The mother
of the W illis children, Nathaniel, Richard and
Jane, Is described as a large-brained, great
hearted woman of most lovable character.
When Sara was yet ii child, her family re
moved to Bostrifiriihere she passed all her
early years. She was educated at Hartford,
ConneLticut, by Miss Catherine Beecher and
was recognized as a clever young lady, high
virited and eccentric, and addicted to tnis
eIIiCVOUB and comical escapades. While yet
young, and soon alter leaving school, she mar
ried Mr. Bruridge, of Boston. After the birth
of three children, she was left a widow and
in somewhat embarrassed circumstances. lit
these straits came her first literary adventure,
and, in 1831, she offered an essay argued
"Fanny Fern" to one of the literary weeklies
of Boston. It was accepted and acceptable,
for the great reading public immediately de

fame and favor.
'these leaflets were gathered into a volume
wish the title "Fern Leaves" and had a great
sale, no less than 75,000 copies of the book
having been sold. "Little Ferns for Fanny's
Little Friends," her next book, had a fair sale,
and a second series of the "Leaves" reached
a very large edition. In 1854, her first novel,
"Ruth Hall,", appeared. It was not a genial
book, and over its family revelations and al
lusionsa generous charity draws a veil of
forgetfulness. "Rose (Rarke ' " published in
1857, was a more sunny work, and command
ed u Wider circle of readers than even tile un
happy notoriety its predecessor had attract
ed. The two novels were the only ones which
"Fanny Fern" ever published ; they provok
ed much criticism, and were read by tucus
adds who sought In their pages the same
grace and vivacity whsch had been the charm
of her lees pretentious writings.
In 1850 the subject of this sketch was mar
ried to Mr. James Parton, of this city, the
brilliant and effective historical writer and
essayist. Since her marriage her published
writings have not been voluminous', but their
character has been considerably modified and
improved, compared with those 01 her earlier
career. She was "a good hater," arid her pen
gentle and mild enough when pursuing con•
puled themes, was pointed and galling when
engaged in the chastisement of vice, cant or
snobbery. She had a fierce hatred for every
sort of hypocrisy, and, with the inevitable
tendency of one who pursues these subjects
with pertinacity, she sometimes drifted into
extravagance and uncharitableness. As a
writer of brief sketches and essays for the
weekly press she excelled ; and in the produe
lion of these she was Indomitable in industry,
fertile in resource, and houddless in patience,.
She has shown her struggling sisterhood what
woman can do with the pen ; tor, In spite of
nuniberless obstacles, she won herself a place
. .
In current literature, a generous income, and
manyhonest friends and admirers. Her life
was not always sunny ; but its closing years
were unclouded save by bodily ills • and,alter
a long, busy wrestle with hies problems, she
sleeps well at lost. •
THE GEORGIA .ELECTION--•HOW
IT WAS CARRIED.
' The following article, which we find in
Harper's Weekly, shows how the , Grorgia
election was carried by the Democracy :
"Evidences multiply that the large Demo•
credo majority in Georgia by which Mr.
Jatries M. Smith was re•el:•cted Governor was
obtained by fraud, outrage and violence.
Telegrams, letters and special' messengers
from all parts of the State show that were the
negroes were not driven from the polls, other
means were taken to reduce the Republican
vote.
to its origiria
• .
In Macon the colored men were driven
away from the polls by pistol shots and brick
bats, two of their number being murdered
outright, and others severely wounded. In
Dougherty County more than a thousand Re
publican votes were polled,and but three hun
dred returned by the Democratic managers.
In Liberty County the vote of two strong Re
pnylican precincts was thrown out upon a
trivial pretext by the Democratic managers,
disfranchising 000 Republican voters. Burke
County, with an actual majority of 15,00, has
been Ku-Kluxed into showing a Democratic
majority of 800.
The Democratic Legislature bad changed
the time of holding the election from Novem
ber to October, and required the production of
a receipt for the poll•tax of 1671 as a condition
precedent to voting. This was done because
it was known that the negroes would be very
likely to have lost the tax receipt of the pre•
vines year, and could only obtain a duplicate
of it from Democratic officials. To carry out
more effectively their scheme of dislrauchis
ment, the polling places were made few in
number—in Savannah, for example,only four
were provided for a vote of 8000, and these all
in the same building. The polls were sur
rounded by armed Democrats, and the roads
were patrolled by Democratic "sabre clubs"
to overawe the negroes. The'voters were re•
quired by the election officers not only to
produce the receipts required by law, but to
swear that they had paid a poll tax every year
since emancipation. In some cases the day
before election the bondsmen of the tax col
lector surrendered their bonds, leaving no
one qualified to give the necessary receipts.
In view of these outrages, we are not surpris
ed to learn that, as the New York Tribune
mildly puts it, many of the negroes"conclud
ed to wait till November before voting stall l"
How they were driven to this conclusion is
abundantly shown by the foregoing facts."
This is what the Democracy would do in
the South If they obtained power again.
They also proposed a poll tax of $lO on each
voter, so as to cut off the votes of all poor per
sons, black and white alike, so as to throw
the ruling power again Into the hands of the
old Slave Powe.
To show that this spirit is not overrated in,
the above article, the following remarks were
' made, after the result of the election was
known, by James M. Smith, the Governor
•
elected :
"I will use anything for the purpose of
beating Grant. If the devil himself, coming
up from the infernal regionsomelling of brim
stone, was a candidate for President under
the present circumstances, I would take him
rather than take. Grant." This is strong lan
guage ; but the Democratic outrages upon
negro voters at the pone show that he and the
party for which he speaks mean to live up to
these words. "Any thing to beat Grant

Crinrenqmi. (Wick Is in the State of Noo
York), Sept. 29, 1872.—1 am hero safe at
Chappaqua, and I ant glad uv it. I don't live
here ez high ez I did on the road, but to offset
that, I havn't the grindin anxieths. And
things is better here than at first. I won, at
the first, terribly afraid uv Greeley's intense
temperance principles, and wuz afeard to take
a drink in his presens, but his posisheu on
likker is mod fled, the same ez it is on the
tariff. Ile sez he is an inflexible temperance
man yet, but tie Is w Min that it shel be left to
the people uv the Congressional deestriks.
" Yoe are uv the people," sed he. "and the
question hez not bin passed upon:" I drink,
therefore, with freedom.
At the time I left the party at Pittsburgh,
it wuz decided that we shoed visit the 'mins
trel Exposlstien at Cincinnati, the same at
Looisville, end return thence quietly and un
osientashusly by the way uv Nashville 'Mem
phis, St. Looms, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and
then throe Pennsylvany. Our toor bele one
uv observashun uv industry, we proposed to
go quietly, and without regard to politikel ef
fect. The great and good Greeley is opposed
to candidates goln about seeking ovashens,
and 'tinkle speeches for votes, from polio cars,
ez the tyrant and despot Grant does.
Ez our route lay three, the Croqf Roads, I
felt it a thinly I owed the party uv Peace and
Beconelliashen to go ahead and prepare the
way. I hastened to Leesville and froni there
struck South. I notified the Dimocrisy uv
every stashen wat to do, resery in the Cross
Roads for my own hands.
I found my little,flock in condition to do
anything I wanted em. We raked over the
rookie uv the nigger skool house wich lied bin
burnt one night, six weeks ago, and sodded
the place all over nicely. The post on wich
we lied bin in the habit uv hanein niggers,we
sawed off, and white washed It, convertin it
into II most bland, innocent and conciliatory
hitchin post, and we positively forbid any uv
our people from offerin any Indignity to our
Northern fellow-citizens till after the Presiden
shel cavalcade hed passed thro.
So much for the Cross-Beads. Now the
pint wuz to git up a proper concilliatory spec
tacle to greet the sage at the depot at Seces
sionville, our railroad iitashen. I lied the Con
fedrit flags all taken down and Union flags
put in their places. The depot happened to
he the place uv myelin uv our Ku Klux, and
I hed the masks and sich taken out and put
in a safe place, so that of we fall politikally
they kin he where they kin be got at imegitly
agin, and I made sic!' other changes as seJest
ed therselves to a muskeler Intellect to put the
place in shape for an impressive scene when
the Presidenshel train shoed pass. I bed ti
table arranged. I hired four niggers, at $5 a
piece, to stand on the platform in an afflicted,
with Issaker Gavitt. Kernel MePelter, Bas
com, and Deckle Pogrom a claspin hands with
em. while I solemnly waved the Star Spangled
Banner over em, sruille sweetly over the calm
and peaceful condishen uv things.
The day arrived, and the niggers and. our
men were promptly on hand. The toot uv
the engine wuz heard in the cut above the
mastic'', and the table wuz organized. I lied
ens in a semi-circle, I standin jest behind ern,
with Melissy Pogrom and several uv our
young ladies jest back uv me on benches a
smilin approvinly. It wuz a tetchtn tablet).
The train come in, and ez it stopped, 'yelled,
Three cheers for "'orris Greeley, the great
Pacificator I"
" Wat in thunder is this all about ?" sed the
conductor.
" Where is Greeley ?" I demanded, a cold
sweat breaktn Out all over me.
"Ile changed his mind mad went to Indian
apolis," sed the conductor.
Aint he aboard the train ?" demanded
Issaker.
'No I"
" Nor none of his party ?"
" No."
"Take that, you black cuss," sed Issaker,
strikin his colored friend with whom he Led
bin claspin hands, a blow wich would hay
felled a mule. "Take that, d—n yoo. If
Greeley aint a cumin things is percisely ez
they wuz."
And D, akin Pogram, seezin the flag out - uv
my hands, knocked another uv em over with
the stuff, and afore I could prevent it, them
four unfortunit colored brethren wuz pum
meled out uv all semblance to their natrel
selves. Their blood wuz up, and I conduit
control em. Immejitly the Confedrit flags
wuz reptaped, the Ku Klux material wuz put
back In its plAce, and Bascom wrote me that
they made it warm tent night for the niggers
up towards Garrettsville. It wuz a most dis
astrous day for the coz.
But I don't know that it wuz any worse
there titan it wuz all along tile route. We had
a half dozen uv Noo York importers on unard
the train, and we dassent talk tariff in Penn
sylvany fur fear uv offendin them, tho he druv
them off the train before he got to Pittsburg
by abonsin ther free trade Ideas, and holdin up
the benefits uv proteckshen to em. Cumin
into Pittsburgh, the tireat Pacificator wuz a
readin uv the Convenstien uv soljers then in
session in that city, and the resoloositens they
passed to support Grant, and he become en
raged and cousekently muddled. In that con•
dishen lie got offa porstien uv a speech wich
he bed-prepared to yoose in Kentucky, abooa-
Mg the soljers and sich. Iu Cincinnati he de
riled wat he sed In Pittsburgh, wich wood hey
bin well of it wuznt for the cussed telegraph
and the short-hand reporters, on whose heads
rests cusses. In Louisville he busted the
North, and in Jeffersonville he went back on
his anti slavery, noshens, win is seat we took
him up for, and in Easton,Pa., belied the in
fernal indiscresben to go back on Lis protec
shen ideas, without wich we are helpess in
Pennsylvany.
To sum up the results uv the toot in form
(I am nothin if not aftkrit) we stand about ez
follows :
1. Talkin protecksbun to the free-traders he
her. driven them td.
2. Talkin, publicly, free trade to the protec
el:twists, he hez driven them off.
3. Talkin aboose to the solgers at Pittsburg,
he bez driven them off.
4. Talkin about the possibility uv his anti
slavery 'deem bein a mistake, at Jeffersonville,
to Abolitionists, he hez driven them off.
5. Not being a practiced drinker hisself
among the convivalists, he hez driven them off.
6. Ilevin me with him, and suovln my man
into the face uv the temperance people, he hez
driven them off.
In short, all ho bee left is my pekoolyer
friends in the South, and the old and stanch
Copperheads in the North. He paint done
nothin to offend them yet, but I am expectin
every minit that ho will say anthill to drive
them off. I hed wuns a great Idea 11 , 1 Gree
ley, but that's all gone. His pride is that he
is a self-made man, and come from nothin. I
think he did, and the result Is exactly wat
mite be expected from the commencement. I
never agfa will ranch myself to a talkin candi
date. The tongue is an unruly member, and
its friekslien makes a consuumin fire.
I still hurrah for Greeley, for 1 git three
square meals a day with him, but the pros
peck uv ever gettio into that Post-Oflls grows
dimmer and dimmer. I ain't encouraged.
The great and good Greeley feels safe becoz
the people turn out to see him a stasbens, but

A. Washington despatch to the • New York
Times says :—A gentleman who arrived here
from Ohio and Indiana says that the belief Is
very current in those States among leading
R-Dublicans that a remarkable change in the
course of the New York Tribune may soon be
looked for, if not before the Presidential elec

these reports, based upon the statement of a
gentleman who conversed with a Tribune
manager less than two weeks ago,ls that upon
Greeley's defeat they will Instantly change
front, throw Greeley and Meld overboard,aud
tender the management 01 the Tribune to lion.
Schuylar Colfax, for the purpose of saving the
influence of their weekly paper, the subscrip

upon the result of Tuesday's elections, Is said

ture.
From the Prone of the 15th
The nrst lecture of the Star Course, was
given lust evening, the leeturess being Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore, and that it was a success
coinmenrurate with the glory of any that have
gone before it the largo audience will attest.
TILE CONCERT
given by Carl Seutz's full orchestra was not
one of the least of the attractions of the open
ing night, and consisted, first, of the Star
Course March, composed by Paul Sentz and
dedicated to Mr. Pugh, the manager. The
second piece was that hold, dashing, vigorous
work, the overture to the " Merry Wives of
Windsor," followed by the lively " Kuenstler
Leben," by Strauss. The performance was
most heartily applauded.
The lecturess was then introduced. For
the benefit of lady readers who did not have
the opportunity of seeing and hearing her it
Is stated that Mrs. Livermore was dressed very
plainly in black, with velvet trimming on the
polonaise ; a white lace band circled the throat,
fastened with a crimson bow, and lace under
sleeves were seen at the wrists. The lady,
whose delivery Is very striking, and whose
pronunciation and style aro very clear and
pleasing, spoke in substance as follows, the
the subject being
MARRIAGE?. VS. FREE LOVE.
Most of us revolt from the Darwinian idea
that titan is a descendant of the monkey. We
are, in our best moments, so conscious of some
Divine principle within that we refuse to trace
our ancestry tr an ape ; but.the fact still exists
that primeval man was rougher than we are ;
they were gregarious animals, leading a pre
carious life on roots and herbs. In that day
nothing was thought of marriage ; all were
married to each, and each to all. Nothing like
family relations existed ; they belong to a
more recent date. Nothing but rude and
brutal strength supplied their wants. Every
man's hand was a.zainst his fellows. Might
made right ; war was the normal state of man.
In such a state of affairs sins were useful, and
an element of strength. The daughters were
killed oft, and men predominated enormously.
The first result of this was a form of marriage
known as polyandra, where one woman had
several husbands. This is the custom to (illy
in Thi het and the Ilimmalayau ranges. The
next form was marriage by capture, and to a
great extent this was very general. Such was
the story given in Judges. The tribe of Ben
jamin captured the town of Jahesh-Gilead,
when they were forbidden to marry with tile
other eleven tribes, and killed all the people
except four hundred girls, and these were
divided among them. in the successive para
graphs tens of thousands of years are embrac
ed ; all this before men made ally record of
what they did. So we come to intertribal re•
lotions. The wooer went to the lather and
purchased his daughter for a wife. Forms
and usages of marriage have changed but little
down to our day. The form of capture is in
use among present people. The Kalmuck
Tartar pursues his to be wife on horseback,
and captures her if she wishes to be captured ;
so in terra del Fuego. Our customs here are
changed ; the contest for supremacy among us
comes alter marriage and not before, and one
combat does not always settle the question.
There is a long way that has been travelled
before monogamic marriages were believed
only to bet ight ; and yet Christendom that
believes to it are only three-tenths of the hu
family. In a great many languages there is
no such word as love or tenderness. So with
the Algonquins and other Indian tribes. And
yet among us the old taint of slavery is still
In the marriage relation. There is not a law
yer that will not confess to marriage being a
species of slavery,legally. Pure, happy mar
riages are above the law, but by the statute
they are still slavery. )5# lien the Romans
married, and the 'Greeks, the yoke was placed
over the necks of both, signifying they should
work together, but afterwards the same taint
came in and the wife was thought to lose her
hopes of Heaven If she did not do some great
military act. In Russia until lately the form
was, wolf take thy lamb, and the father
handed to the groom a whip to show that he
was to do the subjugating In future. The
main idea seems to be merely the following of
the command. "Increase, multiply, and re
' plenish the earth." The sublime. beautiful
ceremony in Genesis is lost sight of entirely.
It is, " In the days when God created man,
male and female created He them in His like
ness ; and Ile gave them (not him) dominion,
&c., and Ile called them Adam (the Hebrew
name for man) ; and for this shall a man leave
his lather turd mother and shall cleave to his
wife, and they shall be one flesh"—tile Closest,
dearest, and most intonate relationship. This
twain, so related, are more In the image of
God than they possibly could be if dissociated.
Man, we are hod, is wisdom, woman, love
but God is wisdom and love combined, dud
He has chosen to give this relationship to us,
that we may be more in His image. Each
has qualities that tile other does not and never
can possess, and God meant it should be so.
And yet the highest idea of marriage is not
yet reached. The man happily married is
more capable of development than when sin
gle, and this fact Is au additional recommen
dation and reason why he should be trusted.
This dual idea runs through all nature—in
trees, In plants, in. alkalies and salts—they
seek each other, they unite and produce a sub
stance possessing the qualities of both, yet beY
lug neither, but giving a newer and more per
fect development. Du not let us drag down
this standard, even if we have not reached it.
there are sonic people who would not be hap
py near the throne,Who will never be content
ed until they are borne again after the Resur
rection. There is more happiness in marriage
than outside of it. Even the quarrels pay,for
there Is such a good time making up.
There are all sorts of reasons given for mar
riage.
A very amusing description was given of
the way marriages were made now-a-days—
the courting on Sundays with Sunday cloths
and Sunday manners, and the callow lovers
waking up to the stern realities of the battle
of life. She said wiled a party tells you they
never quarrelled in twenty five years of mar- .
toed life, you put an interrogation point there,
and discount it heavily.
A running sketch was given of the reasons
for marriage—for money, for love, for position
for religious and other causes.
The lecturcas asked : How many of our
daughters are fit for marriage ? Row many of
our young men are considered tit for marriage?
There were two standards.of morality. In the
community—one for men, and one for WO
man. The comparison is odious. If the young
men get drunk, they only sow their wild oats;
but "as God liveth whatshever a man sow that
shall he also reap." Fathers and mothers
mourn, and yet the devastating work goes
on. The fever of the blood Is transmitted to
the children. Shall . we not exact the same
from sous that we do from our daughters?
This difference In the standard of morality un
derlies a !Cartel catalogue of woong, anti it is
from this that so many men stagger on the
rocks of apoplexy and go down : and it is the
reason we have such a long, sad record of
divorce In our courts.
The husband must help the wife, aid her,
and ne will find she w ill be of a corresponding
aid to him. Where this is not the bond, first
comes the spiritual divorce, soon to be follow
ed by a legal ono.
The cases of Socrates and Xantippe, Dickens
and his wife, Pranklin ' Cyron, Muliere,Clay,
and others were referred to, to show that these
separations usually arose front the fact that
the husband does not try to lilt up his wife as
he rises in the scale of existence. There must
be a perfect blending of sentiments and lee l
ingo or this partition is sure to grow up. Mar
riage is a work to be accomplished. We are
married only a little at a time, and it takes
twenty-five or thirty years to motto it perfect
in all its parts.
She had Intended to take up the subject of
free love and discuss it, but as she read the
:utterances of its chief priestess, she had re
volted at it as she would at handling carrion
She had thotight a better service could he done
to society by speaking ni n ety, pure marriage.
Wnat is free love Y I nifty lure whoever I
please, as long as I please, and whenever
please. I may love fur a day, a' week, an
hour, or a hight." These are the words 01
the chief lecturer. Does any one believe In
this ? 'thee are all the vile women who walk
our streets, and for whom we drop a tear,
lawtul wedded wives, and the houses which
we only think of with a shudder lest they trap
the feet of our beloved, the homes of wedded
love. But do you believe it ? The couple—
there is a woman and a man—say all this, and
they say woman Beth age is free love and Ireo
divorce.
She stands alone to-day as sho,never did in
her life. The proclamation of tree love would
never have been made if there wag not de
moralization in society. It was an outcropp
mg of the times; and a warning as to the
downfall of sdelety. So It was in Rome ; free
love and hideousness were the signals of her
tall ; society toppled to her destruction. So
in the French Revolution ; the that year there
was 20,000 divorcee, and when the divorcee
average one to seven don't you think it le
time to a-nod the alarm ? Wo have In Bt.
Louis a legalization of that foul thing, prosti-
tution, and she drops $50,000, over-run with
nastiness and covered with the blood of souls,
into her city treasury.
The literature of the day is another sign of
the times. It is no wonder our children err
and make mistakes. Great crimes come by
slow growth ; we have utterly forgotten to
keep pace in our moral culture with the de
velopment of our intellectual faculties. We do
not get what we pay for; foul dealing every
whcre—you must fled it in the domestic cir
cle. Woman must halt the column. It is
given to her, end they should apply the rem
edy. You are the reserve of that army of
men who are today fighting the battle of life.
We have stood and seen the battle going on ;
we have seen them drop down and pass away
from us by licentiousness and crime of all
descriptions. Not until there is a different
public sentiment can these things be altered
and the new order of things come in, when
o.arriage shall be tile real marriage. "What
God both joined together let no man put
asunder."
The second lecture of the course w ill be de-
livered on Thursday evening by George Wm.

why ?"
THE DEMPSEY MURDER
Efforts of Senator O'Brien to get his Portecre Re

I),. If tathnnp—Police Surgeons arid
trate,' Involved—The Woman fatally Injured.
From the Now. York Tribune of Wedneeday.
Nellie Stanton who was assaulted by Joseph
Dempsey, last Thursday, night, Iles at her
house, No. 18 E tst Thirteenth•st. her condi.
lion not having improved materially since the
night of the assault. Dr. Wynkoop, the at
tending physician, states that she is still In a
very critical condition. The Injury consists
of a concussion of the brain with contusions
and some extravasation. It is impossible to
ascertain nt present whether there is any frac
ture of the skull, but the impression is that
there is none. The greatest danger Is appre•
'tended from the compression from the extra
yawed blood, or the formation of abscess. If
there should be fracture of the skull, there in
danger of compression from the new material
thrown out in the process of union of the frac
ture.
The arrests of the parties Implicated In the
assault were made and the examination held
on Friday morning ; yet full and detailed in
formation of the assault was,caretally sop•
pressed until Monday night, four days later.
During the interim, every effort possible was
made to secure the release of Dempsey on
bail. The accomplishment of this was sought
by means of a certificate to the effect that
Miss Stanton was not dangerously injured, and
bribes, intimidation, and cajolings purporting
to emanate from Senator James O'Brien,
Dempsey's intimate friend and patron, to•
gether with others high in political authority
in this city, were brought to bear upon Dr.
Wynkoop, in order to obtain such a certifi
cate, Representations were even made to Dr.
Wynkoop by a friend of Senator O'Brien'S
that if he would eive a modified certificate to
the effect that Miss Stanton might recover,
that a police justice had agreed to strain a
point of law, and release Dempsey on bail.—
To strengthen the proposition, two physicians
had agreed to relieve Dr. Wynkoop from ab•
solute responsibility by attaching their names
in connection with his to the certificate. This
failing, efffirts were next made by certain
physicians to make an examination of .Miss
Stanton, and give such a certificate as would
effect Dempsey's release. Owing, however,
to the officer whom Dr. Wynkoop had taken
the precaution to station in the'house, this ef•
tort also failed. Dr. Wynkoop's office has
been overrun with visitors,sometimes as many
as 80 to 40 calling daily, and all working iu
Dempsey's interest. One of these stated par.
titularly that he came from Senator O'Brien
direct to see what could be done about the
matter. These efforts all falling, Dempsey
has been closely confined in jail since the as;
adult.
Maggie Hudson, an Inmate of the house,
has made the following statement as to what
occurred on the night in question, differing
materially from the CVlielICO heretofore pub
lished. She says that Joseph Dempsey, Dan.
Bernstein, and a man named Jones, whose
flat name she doss not know, came into the
house between 2 and 3 o'clock last Friday,
morning. Alter remaining In the house for
some time and after they had run up, a bill of
$2B for wine, they prepared to leave. Pay
ment was asked for the amount, which the
parties refusal. Nellie Morton remarked to
the man Jones "If you don't pay me what
you owe, I will smash your hat and get even
with you." Jones replied, " You smash my
hat and I will smash your lace." Nellie Mor
ton uudertook to snatch his hat from his
hand, when Jones struck her in the face, and,
taking hold of her, threw her toward the
door, Dempsey at the same time throwing an
ottoman at her. At this Nellie Stanton inter
fered, when Jones struck her With his fist.
Bernstein tried to Interfere and separate them,
when Dempsey struck her with his fist, and
she turned he seized an Iron plano4tool
with Wilt hands and struck her a powerful
blow over the lett temple. The woman tell
to the floor senseless, when Dempsey kicked,
her in tile head twice with his boot, saying :
" I've a grudge against you, and I will have,
it out now. " The servant; by this time had:
become frightened almost out out of their sen
ses, and began to scream murder. Bernstein.
became alarmed, and, in endeavoring to es
cape, wrenched the lock off the outside floor
and got out out upon the stoop. During the
fracas the inmates of the house had been
awakened by the uproar,
and coming down
stairs in their night clothes, became engaged
In the row. After Bernstein's escape Junes,
and Dempsey undertook to follow, and, stir

the arrival of the police, began to fight right'
and left.. Jones struck a girl named Carrie.

her face badly, and Jones, who had just kicked'
the servant down stairs, followed up with 8,

me through the back door, and Jones knocked,
a little girl Into the conks at the head
of the stairs, where she lay stunned so that'
she could not move. Dempsey and Jones then'

The importance of a thorough organization

we would fail in our duty did we relax our

WHAT ACKER KNOWS ABOUT
CONGRESS.
We copy the followlngletne from the Nor
nstown Register of this week, which will be
savory food for the Democrats:
FOB TUE BAKE OF PEACE AND SUCCESS.—
Hon. E. L. Leiter, on Saturday before elec•
1.1.)n agreed to withdraw in favor of lion.
Edwin Albright, a sound Democrat and an
honest man of Lehigh county, and a commit
tee went up to Allentown on Sunday morn
ing. But the Lehigh Committee men said
they could not act. A citizen of Allentown
however stated to one of the Montgomery
Committee, it Dr. Acker had withdrawn in
favor of another man named he would have
been paid $2OOO 'to cover expenses.'
"BEHOLD THE WORK OF YOUR
HANDS."
The Politicians of Lehigh County,and those
of the "Allentown Ring , " can now behold
the work rf their hands. Persistent to claim
the candidate for Lehigh County, and persis
tent to defeat the renomination of Dr. Acker,
who according to all rule and precedent (as
well as in Lehigh as in Montgomery County,)
MB entitled to a second nomination, they
have succeeded in securing the c ection of a
Radical from their own County, in a district
that ought to have given at least 9000 Demo
cratic majority.
In the conference at Allentown, and also in
'the conference at Norristown, there were
several delegates in the Lehigh delegation,
who were willing to accede to the renomina
tion of Dr. Acker, brit they were not allowed
to vote for him by the majority of the delega
tion. Honest Democrats of Lehigh County,
will you allow the "Allentown Ring" to de
prive you of Democratic representation here
after? They have elected .a Radical Congress
man for you in 1872, and helped to defeat the
whole Democratic county ticket, in Mont
gomery Ciounty.
Dirty Work and 31[Iarepresentation
Perhaps In no political campaign in Mont
gomery County was there so much dirty work
and imarepresentalion as on the Congress
question in this c6Unty and district. On Sun
day week and on Monday teams wore out in
every direction, and the report was circulated
that Dr. Acker had withdrawn. This was
done to keep votes from him. At Swenks
vill, all the Acker tickets were taken away by
a person, who Philip Fox writes "that,accord
tug to description was George Bush." At the
Frederick Election district, Bush also called
but did not get the tickets. llelffensteln of
the Defender and Dr. Rogers traveled through
Udper Providence and Limerick on the same
Sun lay. Some sir teams we are told, were
out on that day over different parts of the
C. n ity, for the purpose of taking votes from
Dr. Acker. In Lehigh County, it was rep
resented th Dr. Acker "had gone the opposi
tion"—was "Cameron's man," and telegrams
were continually sent to that county that
Acker had withdrawn, all for effect. There
was a heap of dirty work done—all of which
will be very likely some day to return "to
plague the inventors."
The following proclamation hasbeen issued
by the President:
By the President of the Uni:ed States of
Whereas. The revolution of another year
has again brought the the time when it is usual
to look back upon the past and publicly to
thank the Almighty for Ills mereles and His
blessings : and
Whereas, If any one people has more occa
sion than another for such thankfulness it is
the Omens of the United States, whose gov
ernment Is their creature, subject to their be
hests, who have reserved to themselves ample
civil religious freedom and equality before the
law, who,during the last twelve moutlis,have
enjoyed exemption from any crevions or gen •
eral calamity, and to whew prosperity in agri
culture, manufactures and commerce has been
vouchsafed.
Now, therefore, by these considerations, I
recommend that on Thursday, the 29th day of
November next, the people meet in their re
spective places of worship, and there make
their acknowledgements to God for Ills kind
ness and boUnty.
In witness wherefore I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this eleventh
day of October, In the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-two,

Maurine, Oct. 10.—Since the confession of
James Kenny, a noted thief now serving
term in the Tennessee Penitentiary, of his
connection with " Billy " Forrester and
others in the Scheeler diamond robbery at
New Orleans in 1871, Mr. Scheeler has come
here. After consulting with Chief of Police
Athey, he with that officer, proceeded to Nash
ville, and, obtaining an interview with Kenny,
prevailed upon him to make a full confession,
which Is to the effect that the robbery was
planned by Forrester,Frank Day n o, alias
Dago Frank, now in ail In Jersey City, and
Dave Cummings, and that in order to draw
the police from thei scene of the robbery they
hired men to get steamboats at the landing on
fire, by which trick the steamers Thompson,
Dean, Mogenta, and tour others were con
sumed. During than fire the robbery was af
fected, $lOO,OOO worth of diamond being ob
tained. After remaining quiet awhile the
spoils, were divided and ho and Forrester
came to this city, were 'a portion were sold,
and the remainder sent East, ono largo stone
being sold to Angelo Mowe, who is now on
trial here for robbing the sate of the Chief of
Police. Returning to Memphis, Mr. Scheeler
and the Chief found Angelo's pin put up as
ball. Mr. Scheeler at once recognized the
stone, and soon alter several others were
found and identified, never having been re%
moved from their original setting. In con
versation with Mr. Athey, Kenny said he was
certain that Forrester murdered Nathan, but
no one knew all about it but Forrester's wife,
now in Memphis, and she was "too fly to
give Billy sway."
