A correspondent at Kltnira, N.
tells the following romantic story:—
A curious story comes from Allegheny
county iu a private letter from a well
known resident of that county to a gen
tleman of this city. In 187G a young
man named Wi liana Freeman rented a
farm near Wellsville, Allegheny coun
ty. He hud work*d on different farms
in that part of the State, enjoyed an
excellent reputation, and was known
as "Handsome Billy."
ried, he hired a widow of middle-age
who lived in the neighborhood to su
perinteud his household affairs. A
nephew of this woman assisted Freeman
with the farm-work. Iu the summer
of 1877 several burglaries were commit
ted in the county. Among others a
store was robbed, and the goods were

manly form of Mr. Bayard seenuponlthe
public rostrum or was his voice heard
urging our citizens to rally and defeat
the traitors? -I answer No! never!
During the duration of the Rebellion

ith great eclat, Mr. Bayard had not
siDgle cheer to give the brave men,
ho risked their lives, and went down

been, aud what now are his views on
the question of suffrage? I answer

oally declare "That suffrage was al
ready too free|in this countr". That
suffrage was a privilege confered uot an
inherent right." Those views Senator
Bavard thoroughly holds today. Suf
Iragehesays is a privilege centered.
Confered by whom, Mr. Bayard? That's
the question that concern very many
who toils for his bread in this country.
If suffrage is a confered right simply,
then there must he some superior order
(,f beings iu this Republic who so much
sympathize with the workingmen as to
allow them the privilege of choosing
their rulers.
Who are those mighty men who have
so much pity on the poor as to allow
ice iu the selection of
iliem to liavo a
their rulers ? Surely Mr. Bayard uoes
uot place himselt amongst the o!
whom some superior order of beings in
tins country lias taken pity on. aud al
lowed the privilege of deposing his
ballot for men of his choice, Oh, no !
certainly not. II he does not belong to
th«.t class, then he must belong to that
noble class who have allowed, mark
tii,, word, 'allowed,' the masses the
piivilege, not the right, lo deposit
their ballots to select their rulers. Mr.
Bay ard during liis entire Die has re
sided ill Delaware. For several years
past, he has represented tins State iu
the Senate of the United States. Now
in the first place we will review the
State of hiu birth.
The Democratic party (so called) have
almost uninterruptedly for the past
twenty years, hold control of this State;
and what is our condition es freemen
to-day» Tho city of Wilmington, the
pride of our little State, with 40.000
itihabitautH, has but one vote in both
houses of the Geueiul Assembly when
iu session. Sussex County with hut a
little excess of the population of the
oil v of Wilmington lias ten members of
the General Assembly, to wit; Three
Senators and Seven Representatives;
consequently it takes ten men in Wil
mington to equal one man in Sussex
county. 1 ask is this just! Have we
truly a Republican form of Government,
when the voice of one mail,in one section
of our State, equals ten meu iu another
section of the State. Certainly not.
And yet Mr. Bavard has never publicly
advocated in Ilia own State representa
tion on the basis of population.
This body referred too, is the body
whioli elected Mr. Bayard to hie pre
sent position, tho citizens of his own
county disfranchized, and he makes
no effort to have our wrongs redressed.
Laws have been passed by the Senator's

Republicans of Delaware to join iff a

his return from Europ-, where he has
gone with his wife for tb -> benefit of her
health, she being an invalid? Cer

Had Mr. Bayard been sent out as an
bassador by the government to do
some great public act, which he had
accomplished with credit to himself aud
the nation he represented, then iu thai
case it would have been proper and
right for all of our ciUzens without re
gard to party, to honor him on his re
turn home, but nothing of this kind

is, United States Senator fr

friends see proper to get up a jubilee or
banquet on his return uome, certainly
no person will or could object thereto.
But to ask the Republicans of Delaware
to join in a public demonstration of
honor to a man who has been the most
bitter opp ment and unceasing foe of
the fundamental principles of the Re
publican party, is an insult to every
truly loyal man, woman and child in
the State : and particularly so to the
brave men who fought and hied to per
petuate this great American Union.
There may be a few Republicans who

A Richmond despatch dated Nov. 5th
says: The news came in bright and
booming for the Debt-payers last night,
but now all is changed. The Read
asters claim both houses of the Grand
Assembly, and returns seem to warrant
that view. The debt question has split
the Conservative Party, and the bal
ance of power is with the Republicans.
It now looks not improbable that the
Republicans will be able to name tbe
United States Senator to be elected iu
the place of Withers.

Galena, III., Nov. 5.—The train
hearing the Grant party stopped at
Dixon, Polo and other points aloug the
line, reaching Galena at 3.30 this after
noon. The reception here at General
Grant's old home was a memorable one.
i'bo greatest - goodwill aud affection
characterized the meeting. As ih*
train came ij, numerous salutes were
fired, aud the vicinity of the station
was packed with delighted people,
Military from Galena and neighboring
towns were in a line at the depot, and
played "Auld Lang Syne" as General
Grant descended from his carriage with
the Mayor of Galena, Gov. Cullorn,
Mrs. Grant and the rest of the party
following.
The procession formed in the follow
ing order: Policemen; Galena. Free
port and Dubuque military; Old Sol
diers of Galena; Dubuque Yeterau
•Turps; General Graut and party in car
riages, and distinguished citizens of
Galena. Every building was decorated,
and elaborate arches were erected in
several streets. Tha procession made
the circuit of the town, the school chil
dreu singing "America" in front of
Grant's family church. Finally the
procession stopped at a platform where
a formal greeting was extended by
State Senator McClellan, to which Gen
eral Graut said:
"Citizens of Galen a, it is with som9
embarrassment that I reply that your
welcome is exceedingly gratifying to
me, but it is difficult for me to reply
to what I have just heard and seen.
Since I first left here—eighteen years
ago, it has always been the greatest
pleasure for me to return to Galena,
and, now, after an absence of two and
a half years from your city, during
which time I have visited almost every
country in the world, it is pleasure to
be greeted in this manner by yon.Dar
ing my travels I received princely hon
ors, but, they were all due to this
country, and to you as citizens
and sovereigns of so great a coun
tiy. When I saw during my absence,
and especially in the far East,how hard
the inhabitants had to toil even for a
maintenance, 1 realize more thau ever
the greatness of our country, where
want is scarcely ever known, aud
where the question of sustenance is not
daily considered. I will only add that
I thank you again for your reception."
It was fully live minutes before the
cheers which greeted General Grant's
speech had subsided. The crowd then
called in turn for Messrs. Cullom, Gear,
Smith, Logan, Allison and Washburne,
who each made a speech eulogizing
General Grant. The General then held
a reception at the De 8oto House.
