Tb Whig rrty beaten in IS 14 under the candidacj of tlia magnetic Henry Clay, lliutory re peats itself bbout once in forty year. A quarter of a century it Ion 5 enough for one party. The books in Wasbiogton should be overhaul od by new men. Turn the rascals out. Mr. Blaine's Prohibition record will probably play a larjje part in this campaign. The Germans somen times make ead haroc of a Prohibi tion candidate. The Independent Republicans represent a conscience rote. They are honest and in dead earnest. Their support is a Tery high com pliment to Gov. Cleveland. The Republican party u the par ty of the vrerkingmen. Those horny-handed sons of toil, W. II. Vanderbilt, Jay Gould and Cyrus V. Field, all hurrah for Blaine. Wo cannot keep track of all the prominent Republicans who are now breaking into the Democratic party. But they are welcome all the same. Each one is a man and a brother. The mebt threatening eloud upon the horiron of the Republican party at this date is the attitude of the German voters in the imperial State of Ohio. It will be remembered that Ohio votes in October. The Republican newspapers have got their mud machines all ready to play on Cleveland, but they don't seem to make much headway in throwing dirt The great reform governor of New York seems to be invulnerable. The Republican party has always claimod the credit for good prices, good crops and good times. Being such an omnipotent all-pervading party, it will probably hare 10 as same the responsibility for the hard times this year. The Democrat will fight this year not only for the doubtful States, but for Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, and other Statea which have formerly been considered reliably liepubli can. The indications are that this will bo a great year for the Demo crats. The eheek of the Republican edi tors who aro appealing to the Irish Catholic vote would supply the new navy, that U ta be, with an arma ment of brass guns. These are the same editors who were egging on the criminal Know-Nothing crusade against tho Catholic church in the Ohio campaign in 1875. They are men who have insulted the Irish race on every conceivable occasion. UILLINERY ! Do yon vtvat a Sonnet or Sat? II you rauDut csoms lu partoa Mad yoar ord.r to Millinery Department, 13.33.

LOVEMAN Sc CO., Chattanooga, Tinn. aprlt M ly The surfaco signs indicate that the Republican revolt against Blaine in New York will bo as large this year as tho revolt against Folger in 1882. If it should be but we will not harrow the feelings of the Re publicans by unpleasant specula tions. Tho Now York World has dis covered a citiEon, Henry Richards, who haa worked in the miues'own ed by Blaine and Elkins in Penn sylvania. Mr. Richards say-, that no Irish are employed in these mines, that the laborers are chiefly Italians, and that the pay is from 6iity to siEty-five cents a day. The central idea in this campaign is that there should be a change in the Federal Government. The Re publican party haa now been in power for . twenty-four years. It begins to think that it owns the earth. It must stand aside and give the Democratic party a chance to purify this government. All the great Democratic states men are working earnestly for Cleveland and Hendricks, and the Democratic press is united in sup port of the ticket, and Republican roe ru its are climbing over the party wall so fast that they can't bo count ed. There is nothing but serenity and happiness inside of the Demo cratic camp. There is something peculiarly un fortunate for Mr. Blaine in his Pro hibition record. It is just strong enough to secure the antagonism of the Germans, and yet it is not re- bust enough to attract the support of the Prohibitionists. If Mr. Blaine had remained in Pennsylvania, where he was born, possibly he would not bo in this predicament. It is possible that the Republi can newspapers havo slightly over worked the case of Mr. Pa reel 1, of Rochester, who resigned his edito rial chair rather than support Cleve land. They are advertising tho fact that up to this time Mr. Purcell is the only Democrat of any conse quence in this great big country who has gone back on the ticket. One great good will come out of this campaign. It will demonstrate hew deurly the Republican party loves th j Irishman. Heretofore the grand old party has hidden this love, add lot concealment, like a worm in the bud, feed upon her damaged cheek. And the Irishman has occasionally remarked : Tni all vary wall to di.eembU yoar lor.. Hat why did yon kick ma down ataira t" The difference between the two parties was well illustrated by the personnel of the two national con ventions. The active spirits in the Republican convention were oflice heldert., adventurers and star-routs ers, wt ile the prominent men in the Democratic convention were great statesmen whoso lives make a largo part of the history of their country Thurman, Hendricks, Randall, Morrison, Carlisle, Wallace, Bar no m, Leon Abbott, Waller, Beck, Yoorhees, Palmer, Yilas and others. The big managers of the Repub lican party have been loafing around for some time with a smirk of satis faction en-their faces, waiting for the Democratic party to make a fool of itself. But the Democratic party has acted with singular wis dom, and the look of satisfaction on the faces of Mr. Elkins and Mr. B. Finatice Jones has changed to an expression of wild-eyed appreben- sion, which is close kin to despair. Them is no hope left for tho Repub lican party except in its favorite old argument of two-dollar bills on election day, LOGAN SELLING FREE NEGROES INTO SLAV ERY AT AUCTION. From tba M.mpbia Appeal. No man in the United States has shown as much hatred for the negro as John A. Logan, the Republican nominee for Vice President. Ho has pursued this unfortunate race with beastlv ferocity. In other of days, when the negro was in slav ery and needed sympathy, Logan regarded the soil of Illinois " as too sacred to be polluted by his con tamlnating tread. If there is a col ored man in 'the South so lost to self-respect as to vote for John A Logan after reading the exposure wo intend to make in, this article, then he is so debased and degraded as to vote for the most cruel slave driver that ever wielded the lash. Ignorant of the past record of Lo gan his atrocious cruelty to the race when he proposed to hunt them down as wild boasts the no gross are howling for his election. Can it be possible that this is tho same John A. Logan who, in the Illinois Legislature, secured the passage of a bill selling into slavery, at public auction, all free negroes in tho State? When the constitution of Illinois was framed in 1S48, there were two provisions in it which were separately submitted to the people for their adoption or rejec tion. One was that no negro or mulatto shall be permitted to mi grate or settle in the State. On this the vote was 171,890 to 71,306, being a majority of 100,590 for the provision against the admission of negroes or inulattoes into Illinois. John A. Logan voted with the ma jority to exclude the negroes from the State. The other constitutional provision submitted to the poople was that the negroes should not hold office or have tho right of suf frage. On this question the vote stood 211,920 to 35,649, beins: a ma jority of 170,271 against allowing negroes or mulattocs to hold office or to vote in Illinois. John A. Lo gan voted with the majority against tbo negroes. To carry these pro visions into effect, John A. Logan, who was a member of the Legisla ture and of the Judiciary Commit tee, reported to the Legislature of 1S53 and secured the passage of the following bill: IF A NEGRO OR MULATTO, BOND OR FREE, SHALL HERE AFTER COME INTO THIS STATE AND REMAIN TEN DAYS WITH THE EVIDENT IN TENTION OF RESIDING IN THE SAME, EVERY SUCH NE GRO OR MULATTO SHALL BE DEEMED GUILTY OF A HIGH MISDEMEANOR, AND FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE SHALL BE FINED THE SUM OF $50. IF SUCH NEGRO OR MULATTO SHALL BE FOUND GUILTY, AND THE FINE ASSESSED BE NOT PAID FORTHWITH TO THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE BEFORE WHOM THE PRO CEEDINGS WERE HAD, IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF SAID JUSTICE TO COMMIT SAID NEGRO OR MULATTO TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHER IFF, OR OTHERWISE KEEP HIM, HER OR THEM IN CUS TODY; AND SAID JUSTICE SHALL FORTHWITH ADVER TISE SAID NEGRO OR MULAT TO, AND ON" THE DAY. AND AT THE TIME AND PLACE MENTIONED IN SAID ADVER TISEMENT THE SAID JUSTICE SHALL, AT PUBLIC AUCTION, PROCEED TO SELL SAID NE GRO OR MULATTO TO ANY PERSON, OR PERSONS; WHO WILL PAY SUCH FINE AND COSTS EOR THE SHORTEST TIME; AND SAID PURCHASER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL SAID NEGRO OR MU LATTO TO WORK FOR, AND SERVE OUT SAID TIME. IF SAID NEGRO OR MULATTO SHALL NOT WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRA TION OF HIS, HER OR THEIR TIME OF SERVICE,' AS AFORE SAID, LEAVE THE STATE, HE, SHE, OR THEY SHALL BE LI ABLE TO A SECOND PROSE CUTION, IN WHICH THE PEN ALTY TO , BE, , INFLICTED SHALL BE $100, AND SO ON FOR EVERY SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE THE P E N A L T Y SHALL BE INCREASED $30 OVER AND ABOVE THE LAST PENALTY. John A. Logan was the author and champion of this bill, which was not repealed until 18G5. ne drafted it, and the records ef the Illinois Legislature show that he carefully guarded its severe and cruel provisions against all amend ments. The slave code was called bloody, and it is charged that tho negroes wero often treated with great 'cruelty; bat the history of i!Yry farnUues. pp. parallel ta (ha wicked and atrocious cruelty with which John A. Logan ' pursued the negroes in Illinois. This is the man who is traducing and vilifying tho bouth and charging our people with being slave-drivers and hostile to the blacks. .Logan s bill selling tree negroes into slavery was monstrous in its provisions ; yet, in the face of sucn barbarity toward the colored people who had fled to the free soil of Illinois for protection, he now comes forward as the champion of the enfranchised blacks. He re fused the negro shelter in misfor tune, but new claims the vote of the raco he proposed to sell into slavery for tho crimo of bging tree and daring to locate in the free State of Illinois. Blaine, tattooed with his corrupt schemes, is a hide ous monster. Rut a cartoon repre senting Logan on the block auction eering free negroes and mulattoes to the highest bidder selling them into slavery because they were unfit to livo as freemen in Illinois, will present a picture still more dis gusting and revolting. Logan, now that the negroes are enfranchised, regards them as "the wards of the nation : but in 1853 he regarded it as a "high misdemeanor" for them to pollute tho soil of Illinois with their presence and proposed to hunt them down with all the ierocity 01 an Alrican slave-dealer or tbo Southern slave-driver with blood-' hounds in pursuit of their runaway negroes, with the view ot making slaves of freemen who had either purchased their freedom or been emancipated by their owners. Un der tho provisions of Logan's slave code, if tho negroes did not leave the State in ten days after regain ing their freedom they were again placed on the block and the punish ment increased by extending tho period of ownorship and slavery. Less than thirty years age Logan regarded the negro as a nuisance in Illinois net to be tolerated, and he was hunted down like a wild beast. If the colored people are not lost to shame and self-respect they will east a solid- vote against the man who persecuted thorn in the dark days of slavery, but now that they are voters would humbug them into the belief that ho has always been their friend. It has cost the Appeal mueh labor to hunt up this damn ing record. The colored voter will be lotb to believe it, but Logan and his friends dare not deny it is readi ly found in the record of the Illinois Legislature, written in letters which time cannot obliterate, making a damned spot which will not out.

Harper's Weekly, which has an enormous circulation all over the Union, is doing gallant service in tho'right diroction. It boldly ad vocates, the election, of Cleveland and Ilondricks. . So do those great .Republican journals, the New York Times, the New York Evening Post; the Brooklyn Union, the Springfield Republican, the Boston Herald and the Boston Advertiser. The last number of Harper's Weekly, now eforo us, says: "Tho nomination of Gov. Cleveland defines sharply the actual issue of the presidential election of this year. He is a man whose absolute official integrity has never been questioned, who has no laborious explanations to undertake, and who is universally known as tho governor of New York, elected by an unprecedented majority, which was not partisan, and repre sented both the votes and the con sent of an enormous body of Repub licans, and who, as the chief execu tivo ef the State, has steadily with stood the blandishments and threats of the worst elements of his party, and has justly earned the reputation ol being a courageous, independent and efficient friend and promoter of administrative reform. His name has become that of the especial rep resentative among our public men of tho integrity, purity and econo my of administration, which are the objects of the most intelligent and p&irwviw ttw"Ht THE NEW SOUTH. What Southern Capital is Doing Wonderful Growth of Texas, - NEW INDUSTRIES. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record thus disposes of the state-i ment that the greater part of the capital now being invested in South ern enterprises is furnished by Northern parties: "One of the most gratifying features of Southern pro gross is the enterprise and push dis played by Southern men in devel oping their country. Take Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga or An niston, as an illustration, and an ex amination of their growth will show that it is very largely due to South ern, men and money. JNotwith standing the general opinion to the contrary, Southern cotton mills have, to a very liberal extent, been built by Southern money, and the same is true ot saw mills, nour mills, cotton-seed oil mills, tobacco factories and the many other indus tries that are now so rapidly in creasing tho wealth of the South." The New Orleans Times-Demo crat says: "The growth of that young giant of the South, Texas, has never been equaled in this coun try. Illinois long enjoyed the dis tinction f being the most rapidly growing State in the Union. It is true that others, like Colorado and Kansas, sprang from nothing into populous States within a very few years, but into no section or portion of the country did emisrration or wealth pour as rapidly as into Il linois, until Texas took its place at the head of all the States in its as tonishing development. In tho last decado tho population of the 'Lone Star State' doubled. How much it has increased since 1S80 it is of course impossible to say, as we have no re liable figuros on this point, but the estimate made by some Texan that it was growing at the rate of 200, 000 persons a year scarcely appears to be an exaggeration." A dispatch from Chattanooga to the Nashville American, dated July 23, says : "Col. E. W. Cole, known as 'King Colothe railroad magnate, to-day purchased the entire White side interest on Lookout mountain, embracing from 400 to 500 acres and including tho Point, the Tark, the Lookout Mountain Hotel property, the Lookout Mountain turnpike and all other tracks belonging to the es tate. The price is reported to be $124,000. A corps of engineers will begin work in the morning to make preliminary surveys for a railroad to extend from the city to the moun taintop. Col. Cole states that he will build a railroad similar to the road up Mt. Washington in the White mountains. A charter for the rail road was applied for to-day. A magnificent hotel will be built near the. point and a tower and. elevator also erected there. It is reported that Col. Colo also proposes to endow a university on the mountain tep, and will make wonderful improvements every where, expending from a quarter to a ball million dollars. A FARMER'S AWFUL FIGHT Fiiitztown, Penn., July 17. Whilo William Seachrist, who lives near this place, was out in the woods in search of one of his cows, he was suddenly attacked by seven large polecats. Mr. Seachrist is lame from the effects of white swell ing, but stood his ground bravely I and after a lively fight, lasting near ly twenty minutes, he succeeded in killing six of the number. He was almrst suffocated and had to throw away all of his clothing. He first saw tho animals in a low undcr brufeh. They had ' been eating young chickens from neighboring farms and became angry when mo lested in their meal. Mr.. Seachrist was going through tho brush, when he suddenly stepped right into the midst of them. They imagined they were being attacked and became savage, .uneoi tne largest 01 ine cats made a desperate spring and lit on his shoulders; another cat clawed, up a sapling and jumped on his head; the others jumped on his legs and arms and bung to him like rats with their sharp claws. They scratched, howled and bit and made use of their natural powers of of fence. With a stout club Seachrist beat down the cats, holding his breath for fear of suffocation. He then held his handkerchief to his mouth and nose and renewed the fiht. He beat them down and stamped the life out of six of them. The seventh cat escaped in the dense underbrush. Seachrist hur riedly rushed away as far as he could, finally falling through ex- VV UlVlj MHIJ a waawMp. - haustion. Ho was taken to Ibis res- Idenco by other farmers, HORRIBLE AFFAIR. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BRUTALLY OUTRAGED. Mrs. Buchanan and Daughter, of Rhea County. Taken From Their Home and Outraged by Seyen Men, Who Carry Them Away Their Escape. Chattanooga Democrat, July 29. One of the most horrible affairs ever chronicled in this State came to light this morning. Mrs. Buch anan, a widow lady, and her daugh ter, Mary, aged 17 years, live about fivo miles from Spring City. Sever al nights a seven men, whom she recognized as neighbors, came to the house and made insulting proposals to tho ladies. Being repulsed, the villains forced the mother and daughter to accompany them to the woods, some distance from the house. There the ladies were compelled to remain all night with the men, who alternately, through the long night, outraged tho mother and daughter. All attempts at outcry or escape were threatened with instant death. In resisting the fiends the bodies of both ladies were mercilessly bruised. At broak of day they wero taken to the river and forced into a boat and tho whole party floated down tho river to Smith's Landing, where the mother was taken to the west shore, two of the men froinsrwith her. The boat, with the daughter and five men, was taken to tho east side. On landing tho party proceeded to the vicinity of Birchwood, in Bradley county, where the girl was kept in custody two days, when she made her escape while the men were sleeping off a drunkon stupor. Tho mother made known what had occurred and warrants were taken out for seven men and placed in the hands of the sheriff, who, ins stead of taking steps to bring the wretches to justice, went to Cleve land. Tho warrants were then placed in the hands of United States Deputy Marshal Rasor, who arrest ed a man named Gilhurst, who on preliminary trial confessed to the crime and gave the names of the parties who were associated with him in its commission. Yesterday Henry Thomas was arrested in Bradley county and taken to Spring City for trial. Gilhurst was com mitted to jail at Washington. The other five men, whose names are not divulged, are still at large, but are known to reside within a short distance of Mrs. Buchanan. Mrs. Buchanan and her daughter live by farming, and aro quiet and peaceable ladies, of good character. The daughter is said to bo quite handsome and intelligent, and on tho trial of Gilhurst gave her testi mony in a modest but quiet manner that denoted the lady. Her state ment coincided with the confession of Gilhurst. The details of Gilhurst's confess sion are too revolting for public print, and are such as to demand of the outraged law the severest punish ment known for such shockingdeeds. YOUTHS IN TETTIC0ATS. Masquerading for Years in Girl's Costume Youugr Meu and Boys Who Find Employment as Female Operatives and Clerks. New York World. Of the many devices resorted to in New York by persons of limited means, and often of no means at all, there is none probably moro curious er interesting than the masquerad ing of boys and youths in girl's at tire. Strange as it may appear, a considerable number of persons, principally operatives in factories where females are employed, aro of the male sex, who have donned tho petticoat because, they declare they can obtain employment more read ily than if they applied as males. An investigation of tho subject brought to light some curious facts, showing that while quite a number ot youths are employed in factories and stores disguised as girls, some whose families are in comfortable circumstances aro also, personating female characters for the novelty of the tbing. A reporter of tho World recently had his attention directed to thjs masquerading, and upon inquiry found that there-are many more of these peculiar peo'plo than one would suppose. One of them, a rather attractive looking " girl " of modest demeanor, was found and questioned as to the disguises and the object that prompted their adop tion. Under a promise that his name should not be made public, he said : " Speaking of female impersona tors, I know of several myself and believe there aro a great many in tho city. I am eighteen years of a ay asre and I have not been dressed in laTiro liiii ffii mAi'n uifrl.f w . " J years. In fact I have not a single w article, of male attif o in my posses sion. You. seo my mother, liko thousands of other women loft in this great city with very little means, lets out our rooms to gentle men lodgers. I am her only child, and we havo no relatives in this country as far as we know. I was about eleven years old when I first dressed in girl's clothes, and since then I have worn no others. I have learned housework, needlework and several other female accomplish ments." " Have you ever been away from home?" " Yes ; I was absent for two years. I worked the most of tho time in a knitting mill in Oswego Falls, N. Y. My first name is now 'Char lotte ; ' it used to be Charlie. Some of the girls with whom I worked be- e:ime suspicious ifnd I came to my present home in Brooklyn. I saved about .$150 out ef my wages and have it now on deposit in bank." " How do 3'ou keep up the dis guise?" " Well, my hair had not been cut in eight years and is now as long as any girl's of my age. My waist measures 22 inches. I wear a No. 5 shoe aud a No 7 glove My cor sets are not made expressly fur me ; 1 purchase the ordinary Altman ar tide. My weight is 17 pounds. You sec my complexion is fair and features regular. My eyes aro ha zel brown, and if my hair was a lit tle lighter I would bo called a blonde." " Are those earrings you wear diamonds ? '' " Yes ; I bought them myself. I have no wealthy admirers. I have worn earrings about six years." ' Do you intend to adopt male costume soon ? " "I don't know when I shall change my dress. I have no desire to bo a boy, and shall continue to lead a girl's life as long as 1 can. I'm afraid I'd make a poor fist of it trying to make a living at men's work. I know nothing about ari) t hi rig except millwork and house work. My mother and I havo worked hard and saved what little we have and now feel safe for the future. I don't think the question of my sex has ever been mentioned. I believe my mother would never consent for mo to change my attire, at least so long as I am a good girl and give her no trouble. You may laugh at this, but it's true. I am just the same as any other girl in my station. I play on the piano and go shopping and occasionally a young gcntleman'friend takes mo to Coney Island or the theatre. I am rather shy, however, and don't care much for company." " Havo you any lady friends? " " Yes, a few. Wo exchango calls, but I avoid any intimacy, fearing they would detect me." " Who makes your clothes? " " I have no trouble about that. I get them made at a dressmaker's, tho same as any other lady, and have never had my sex questioned. I am quite handy with tho necdlo, and do somo of my plain sowing myself. My underwear I can buy cheaper than I can make at home.'J QUITE A ItACJE. "Do you know of any similar cases ? " " Yes, I am acquainted with three other persons who havo never worn boy's clothes. You would bo sur prised to see us all together. You would never dream wo wero bojs. One of them, Josio Q , lives in Bergen, N. J. There are two other brothers besides Josio in the family, and they aro very much attached to their supposed sister. They are well off, and Josio has everything a girl could wish for. Wo seo each other often. Josie is sixteen, I think ; at least ho is younger than I am. Tho ' oldest of my othor two friends (whom I know as Jennie Carey) is employed as a bonnet maker at a millinery store in Brook lyn. This boy haa been in petti coats for ten years. So perfect is his personation that there has never beeu tho least fsnspiciou as to his sex. 1 often call at tho store to see him, and we have many a quiet laugh at tho expenso of tho other girls and lady customers. My other friend who calls himself Ella Ilaupt, is of German descent, and is the prettiest and 3-oungest of ns all. Ho is a clerk in a Bowery storo, and says he has worn dresses nearly five years. Ho makes little effort at concealment, but ho has not been suspected. He is the- solo support of his mother and younger brother, and they all livo in apartments in Mystic street. Yes," concluded the masqucrader, "I am satisfied 'it's easier to get along as a girl than it is as a boy." The committee appointed by the convention formally 1 notified. Gov.
