PREAMBLE.
We, the Liberal Republicans of tho
United S tit tcs in Convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaim tho following princi
ple! as essential to Just government:
DEAD IHSVKH Bl'BIBD.
1. We rccogtiteo tho equality (of nil
men before tbe law, and hold that it is
the duty of the government in its dealings
with tbe people to mote out EQUAL AN D
JCXACT JUSTICE TO ALL, OF
YTHATEVEIINATIONALITY, RACE,
COLOR OR PERSUASION, RELI
GIOUS OK POLITICAL.
:. WE PLEDGE OURSELVES TO
MAINTAIN THE UNION OF THESE
STATES, EMANCIPATION AND EN
FRiVNOlIlSEM ENT, AND TO OP
POSE ANY REOPENING OF THE
QUESTIONS SETTLED BY THE
THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH AND
FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS OF
THE CONSTITUTION.
I'M VF.llNAl. AMKKNTY.
3. We demwd tho immedlato and ah
solute removal of all disabilities imposed
on account of tbe rebellion which wns
finally subdued seven years ago, believing
that UNIVERSAL AMNESTY "WILL
RESULT IN THE COMPLETE PAC
IFICATION IN ALL SECTIONS OF
THE COUNTRY
DEMOCRATIC TO THE COKE.
4. LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
with impartial suffrage, will guard tho
rights of all citizens more securely than
ny centralized power. Tho pcoplo and
the public welfare require the SUPRE
MACY OF THE CIVIL OVER THE
MILITARY AUTHORITY and
FREEDOM OF PERSON UNDER
THE PROTECTION OF THE HA
BEAS CORPUS. We demand for thu
individual the largest liberty consistent
with public order, for the stato K-lf-gov-eminent,
and for tho nation a return tit
the methods nf pnaco and tho constitu
tional limitations of power.
"TRUE AS l'UKAClllM;.'
6. Thu civil service oi the government
has become a mere instrument of partisun
tyranny and personal ambition, and an
object of sclfhh greed. It is a scandal
nd reproach upon free institutions, and
breeds a demoralization dangerous to thu
perpetuity of republican government.
THE H l.'1'O H E A WISE DKJIA.M).
6. We therefore regard a THOROUGH
R2F0RM OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
as one of the most pressing necessities of
the hour; thai honesty, capacity and fidel
ity constitute the only valid claims to pub
lic employment; that the offices of tho
government ceaso to bo u matter of arbi

one.
The example of Mr. Belmont In al

Day by day since tho Cincinnati con

has increased in strength, until it is con

tho nomination of tho liberal ticket by

Tho following narrative is collectod
Irom Ward Lamon's forthcoming biogra

ent of tho New York ' Trlbuno : '
"Lato in 183U, or early in 1833, Mr.
Lincoln wont to board at n tavern In Now
SJalem, Illinois, kept by James Rtitlcdgc.
Ann Rutlcdge, tho third daughter of this
family, was at that timo about nineteen,
and was probably tho most rctlncd woman
with whom Mr. Lincoln had then over
conversed a modes t, dolicato creature, fas
cinating, wero itonly by force of contrast
with tho rude people by whom both wero
surrounded. All witnesses unito in praising
her. Mrs. Hardin Bale, a woman of thu
neighborhood who knew her well, said:
"She had auburn hair, blue eyes, fair com
plexion, was a pretty, kind, tender, good-
Hearted woman, beloved by all who knew
hor. McNamar, Hill and Lincoln all
courted her at tho camu timo." Tho men
who spoko of her described her with yet
moro cntiiusiasm.

to go to the assistance of his parents in tho
Stato of Now York, promising to return

months and oven years, and still ho did
not come. Sho had loved him at first, but
tho love seems to havo cooled with his
long absence; and at length sho responded
to tho passionate nnd impetuous attach
ment of young Lincoln. But sho folt that
sho must not marry until she could obtain a
roleaso from McNamar. Shu wrote to him
in vain, as she had waited in vain for his
coming; and in 183B sho died, ns some say
of brain fover, induced by her anxiety of
mind. In her cravo Lincoln was wont to
declare

summoned to her bedsido; but what hap

Ann actually died and was buried, his
grief bocamo frantic; ho lost all self-con
trol, oven the consciousness of his own
identity, nd all his New Salem friends

fogs, damp and gloomy weather, for fear
of an accident. At such times ho raved

conclusion was that ho should novor marry
slncu ho Should never hu satisfied with
any ono who would bo blockhead enough
to have him." But neither burled hn,.n

chanco of being President." Sho decided
in lavor ot .Lincoln, and, in the opinion 01
her husband's friends, aided to no small
extent In the fulfillment of the prophecy
which tho bcsiownl or her hand implied.

"Jim, I shall havo to marry that girl."
At another lime Lincoln told him that he

Lincoln was then established, Sho was

Sho seems to have taken captive tho futuro
prcildont tho moment sho mado up hor
mind It would bo oxpedlent to do so.
Mr, Lincoln was a rising politician,
fresh from tho people and possessed of
New York, Juno 8. Tho aspect which
tho eight hour movement is beginning to
put ou arrests attention and excites alarm.
Threats ot burning down factories and
shutting oil gas so as to bury tho city m
drirkucts and givu thieves thuir opportun
ity, shows that tho alarm Is not 111 founded.
THE l'KKSS.
Tho 'Herald' says: "Wo cannot afford
to havo trade riots in Now York, and wo
must not havo them. Wo call upon tho
authorities to bo upon their guard, to be
ready to act if action Is ncccssury. Tho
strikers in this city aro falling into tho
worst habits which havo disgraced tho so-
called labor movement of tho old world.
Tho history of strikes, in England particu
larly, is a history of fearful crime. Al
ready In this city, within the last few
days, thero havo been shameful attempts
at intimidation and violence. If intimi
dation and violence are resorted to, tho
law must bo put Into operation, and tho
interests of the workingman must inevita
bly, suffer." Tho 'Express' this evening
savs: "Oan tallsts and employers wno
submit to tho new order of things, do so
upon compulsion. One half of them, wo
aro assured, will stop business as soon as
they closu their contracts. Employers
have ceased to opposo trades-unions or
trado combinations for high wages, and
will, when interest, duty, profit or necess
ity requires close their shops, as the piano
and Singer's factories havo done, and
either stop business, chango their business
or go elsuwhere. Tho trado of the city Is
already reeling tho eiiects oi tins conclu

II ten hours work could bo uouu in cigni

but this, us a rulo is not possible.
Ono of tho largest manufacturers who last
week acceded to tno demand, assures us
that a day's work has been ono fifth less
pur day all through thu week, aod that
the experiment is most discouraging.
OAK MEN.
At noon to-day, tho gas men, who wero
to go to work on tho night shift, Instead
of going to work wont to the offices in a
body and demanded a reduction of hours.
The demand was acceded to by tho Now
York gas company. At tho Manhattan
gas works, tho president persuaded tho
man to accept the compromise to work
twelve hours and recervo $1 a day. It is
feared that tho action of tho Manhattan
workmen accepting tho compromiso will

Thursday evening. Soon nftcr regaining
his ireedom, Kacsbach repaired to his
homo In O'Falloii, St. Clair county, about
toven miles north of Belleville, whero
ho had boen engaged for somo timo In
kcoplng a saloon and boarding house. It
was at this saloon that wirshing was
killed, nnd It was hero, nt about tho hour
of 9 o'clock on Friday night, that another
bloody scene was enacted, tho particulars
oi wnicn, ns near ns mcy can bo ascer

tioned Kaosbauh with two others, was in
tho saloon, when a stranger ontorcd and
called for somo refreshments. Kacsbach
waited upon him, when tho stranger,
whilo In tho act of drinking, proposed tho
health of Kacsbach, and swallowing tho
draught Immediately started for tho door,
cioseiy ioiiowou uy Aaesbach; but
whether ho did this by invitation of tho
stranger, or of his own volition, no ono
can tell. As soon as tho two had reached
the sidewalk, and without giving the
least warning, tho stranger drew a pistol
from his pocket, two balls from which wero
discharged, ono of them en
tering tho head and tho
other tho body of Kacsbach In the region
of tho heart, producing death instantly.
Aftor having accomplished this bloodv
deed, tho stranger in a vory cool and de
liberate manner, proceeded to untio and
mount his horse which had been hitched
to a post in front of tho saloon, and rode
on ui a not vory rapid pace, meanwhile
addresving a gentleman who was standing
by and calling him bv name. It is further
said that tho stranger or supposed stran
ger was speedily joined by other mounted
men who had buen stationed in various
portions of tbo town when thoy nil rode
off together. Kacsbach was killed within
two feet of tho spot whero poor Wirshing
was murdered last December, nnd for
which ho and Habermann were indicted
and convicted as has been previously in

DIO LEWIS SAYH SOME STARTLING
TUINOS.
"What it painful spectacle this is I
A million Yankee, girls wasting and
dying in crowded shops, occupied with
sewing and kindred tasks, and a million
homes dyspeptic and unhappy for want of
tho help'of tlioo girls! Tho homes aro
waiting ond longing for tho girls, the girls
aro dying for the homes. Tho homes offer
comfort, health and independence to the
girls, the girls aro wasting, in brainless,
mechanical routlno the bright faculties
which would chango tbe nomes from
discomfort to comfort and health. And,
strange to say, these two, which aro por
ishing for want cf each other, do not live
on separate continent', but in tho same
street, and often under tho same roof."
What a mistaken prldo it is which keeps
girls in poverty or plunges them into
vico when they might bo comfortablv
earning their living and fitting themsolves
to becomo good wives of good men. The
miserable tonoment.house, the confined
work-room, tho euling house, aro nrofur
red, it seems, to sweet, wholesome homes
in respectabio lamllies, wiiero the "lieln '
aro recognized as moro than mcro ma
chines to make monoy for their employ
ers. Thu Doctor s strictures on the abom-
inablo contrlvanco to mako deformed
women, tho fashionable corset, aro well de
served.
"Do you see that slight, pale lady with
tho littlo girl 7 Sho is tho wifo of Mr. U.,
our wealthy broker. She is in wretched
health. Look at her wnl.tl What do
youjthlnk of the chances of tho vermicular
motion of hor stomach ? It wouldn't take
very long hands to clasp round that waist.
And within thatspaco, not only must tbo
stomach work, but the liver, spleen, pan
eras, transversa colon, several feot of tho
small intestines, and many largo arteries
veins and other organs must all find room
to work."
So much for n "dellcato" ludv. Now
let us learn what tho doctor thinks of a
woman who is not so "dellcato":
" Tnat lady weighs over two hundred
pounds, whilo her waist is smaller than
nor husband's, and ho weighs not more
than ono hundred and fifty pounds. Her
stomach after dinner is, or should bo pretty
largo ; her liver is an immenso organ ; then
all tho other organs which I havo men
tioned must nnd a piaco in these some
where And now, how do you supposo
they manago it 7 Well, thoy get doubled
up and twisted about in a vory remarka
ble way, and a vory largo part of tho mas
isiummeddown into tho lowor parts of
tho abdomen. When sho rises, if you
will look at her person, you will observe
that tho lowor part of the abdomen Is Im
mensely protuborant. Half of all which
belongs in that part of tho upper abdo
men, where tho corset has compelled that
deep, scoop-shovel hollow, has been
pressed down into tho lower abdomen."
