"They Say."
They Pay-Ah well, suppose they do,
But can they prove the story true ?
Suspicion may arise from naught,
From malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the " they,"
Who whisper what they dare not say I
They say-But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse i
No good may possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not a nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can i
They say-Well, if it should be so,
Why need you tell the tale of woe ?
Will it the better wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to "go and sin no more ?'
They say-Oh pause, and look within,
elie how thy heart's inclined to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptation's hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power.
Pity the frail, weep o'er the fall,
But speak of good, or not at all.
Lecture on Free Love.
Mrs. Victoria Woodhull in a Storm of
Hisses and Applause-An Audience
that Would not be Oonvinoed.
Says the New York T!ibune of No
vember 21st:
Free Love never had a bolder ad
vocate than Mrs. Victoria Woodhull
provef herself to be last evening at
Steinway Hall, in her lecture on the
"Principles of Social Freedom." The
announcement that she would speak
drew together a crowd such as Stein
way Hall probably never before con
tained-a crowd which filled the hall
completely, seats, aisles and galleries,
for the name of Victoria Woodhull, as
sociated as it is with all that is startl
ing in the sphere of social ideas, was a
guaranty that the doubtful intellectu
al food sought by many among the
hundreds who heard her last night,
would certainly be forthcoming. Flam
ing placards, cunninglyj devised and
filled with broad terms to catch the
prurient eye, also contributed largely
to the number of the audience. The
private box on the right of the stage
was occupied by Tennie C. Claflin and
other friends or relatives of the lectu
rer, and the one on the left by Mrs.
Brooker, of Brooklyn, sister of Mrs.
Woodhull, and a firm disbeliever in
the latter's revolutionary theories
and several of her friends. Stephen
Pearl Andrews hovered about the foot
of the stage, following the speaker's
words in the manuscript of her speech
which he held in his hand. The ad
vent of Theodore Tilton and Mrs.
Woodhull, who received a parting
" Now, Viccy, be calm," from her sis
ter Tennie, produced a storm of ap
plause.
The lecturer began with a rather
tedious sketch of the progress of in
dividual freedom, the battle for which
began in the sixteenth century. Com
ing down to the present, she at once
launched into her particular subject
with the pertinent inquiry, "Of what
does marriage consist? It is admitted
to be a union of the opposites in sex,
but is it a principle of nature outside
of all law, or is it law outside of all
nature ? Where is the point before
reaching which it is not marriage, and
after reaching which it is marriage "
Since law cannot change what nature
has already determined, she contended
that it had nothing to do with mar
riage any more than with love itself.
The individual affairs of two persons
are not the subject of interference by
any third party, and if one of them
chooses to separate no power outside
of the two ought to prevent. Suppose
a separation is desired because one of
the two loves and is loved elsewhere.
If the union be maintained by force.
at least two of them, probably all
three, are unhappy; but if they sepa
rate, only ohe is rendered unhappy.
So if the greatest good of the greatest
number is to rule, separation is legiti
mate and desirable. It is better to
break a bad bargain than to keep it.
She wished marriage laws would be
abrogated to-morrow-there would be
no chaos, but all would turn into har
mony and order. Thousands of mar
riages now were but legalized prosti
tution ; thousands of poor, unresisting
wives are yearly murdered, and stand
in the spirit-life, looking down upon
the sickly half-made-up children left
behind, imploring humanity to correct
the abuses which now defile it. She
asserted positively that all which is
good and commenidable now existing
would continue if all marriage laws
wvere repealed to-morrow.
Applause followed this bold decla
ration, but it was instantly succeeded
by a perfect-tempest of hisses from all
parts of the house. The applause
again came out, and again the hisses
contended for the mastery. A num
ber ~ose and left the hall. Mrs.Wood
hudl advanced quickly to the extreme
front of the platform, and called to
those who hissed to step up on the
platform. Suddenly the pleasant voice
of Mrs. Brooker, who sat in a private
box on the left, came out clearly as the
lady herself arose and fronted the au
dience, despite the remonstrances of
her friends, who feared imprudence in
her words.
" May I speak to herT" she said.
Then addressing the lecturer," Would
you like to come into this world with
out knowing who your father or mo
ther was i "
Shouts of approbation greeted this
sally, when Mrs. Woodhull said, loud
Ty, "Trhere are thousands of noble men
and women in the world to-day who
never knew who their father was."
She proceeded vehemently with her
lecture, givin. no chance for the lady
in the box to interrupt her again. The
latter still kept her place, although
alone in the hbo, for her friends rap
idly deserted her, and several times
es.ayed to speak. Mrs. Woodhull an
grily shouted out her sentences until
she was firty compelled to pause by
the boisterous demand fiom the audi
ence for a speech from her opponent.
A policeman was summoned, and he
attampted in vain to induce Mrs.
Brooker to leave the box.
Finally, Theodore Tilton advanced
and attempted to quell the excite
ment which had become uproar. Cries
of " Put him out" greeted him, the
audience evincing a decided prefer
ence for Mrs. Brooker. Mr. Tilton
stated that it was right enough a lady
should speak-here Mrs. Brooker said,
"I am her sister." Mr. Tilton contin
ued, " I would myself ask her to come
down on the platform and address
you [Cries of "Yes," "yes"], for I
believe in free speech, but Mrs.Wood
hull must be protected also in the ex
ercise of that right, and I shall again
introduce her."
Mrs. Woodhull then continued her
speech, now very excitedly and at
race-horse speed, as if she feared that
something would again interpose.
Free love, she said, will be an in
tegral part of the religion of the fu
ture. The legitimate sequence of So
cial Freedom is Free Love, or freedom
of the affections. " And are you a free
lover t" "YEs, I AM a free lover!
[Loud hisses.] I have an inalienable,
constitutional and natural right to
love whom I may, to love as long or
short a period as I can, to change that
love every day if I please [renewed
hisses], and with that right neither
you nor any law you can frame have
any right to interfere; and I have
further the right to demand a free and
unrestricted exercise of that right, and
it is your duty not only to accord it,
but, as a community, to see that I am
protected in it. I trust that I am ful
ly understood, 'for I mean just that
and nothing less! Why did Mrs. Fair
kill Crittenden? Free love was not
the inciter. It was because she be
lieved in the spirit of the marriage
law: that she had a better right to
him than Mrs. Crittenden, to whom
the law had granted him; and, rather
than give him up to her, to whom he
evidently desired to go, and where,
following his right to freedom, he did
go, she killed him. Could a more per
fect case of the spirit of the marriage
law be formulated I Most assureedly
no! If Mrs. Fair had let him go,
when he desired such freedom, would
it not have been the more Christian
course, and would not Mrs. Crittenden
have loved her for so doing ? I tell
you, nmy friends, that you have taken
hold of the wrong end of this business.
I have a better right to speak as one
having authority in this matter, since
it has been my province to study it in
all its variouslights and shades. When
I practiced clairvoyance, hundreds,
ay thousands of desolate, heart-broken
men came to me for advice. [Hisses,
cheers and laughter.] Some may think
that it is better to keep the semblance
of a husband or wife, even if it be not
a lover. Such is not my philosophy.
I address myself to such as have souls.
If you belong to the other sort, take
advice of a Tombs lawyer, and not of
me.
"I have learned that the first great
error most married people commit is
in endeavoring to hide from each oth
er the little irregularities into- which
all are liable to fall [laughter], since
nothing is so conducive to continuous
happiness as mutual confidence. If
our sisters who inhabit Greene street
and other filthy localities choose to re
main in debauch, and our brothers
choose to visit them there, they are
only exercising the same right that we
exercise in remaining away, and we
have no more right to abuse and con
demn them than they have to abuse
and condemn us for exercising our
rights our way. [Storms of hisses.]
But we should by our love and kind
ness endeavor to prevail upon them
to desert those ways. Let me ask of
husbands if they think there would be
50,000 women of the town supported
by them, if their`Tives were ambitious
to have an equal number of men of
the town to support, and for the same
purposes. I tell you, nay. The good
women of one of the interior cities of
New York some two years since or
ganized a movement to put down pros
titution, and tried by stratagem to
find out who visited houses of prosti
tution, in order to ostracise them.
They pushed the matter until they
found their own husbands, brothers
and sons involved, and then suddenly
desisted, and nothing has since been
heard of the eradication of prostitu
tion in that city. [Laughter.] The
same experiment tried here would re
sult the same. What can be more
terrible than for a delicate, sensitively
organized woman to be compelled to
endure the presence of a beast in the
shape of a man, who knows nothing
beyond the blind passion with which
he is filled, and to which is often add
ed'the delirium of intoxication Men
who, before marriage, preserve a deli
cacy and regard for womanly sensi
tiveness and refinement, too often af
ter marriage show themselves in their
true character, and prove to be little
better than beasts; and thousands of
pallid cheeks, sunken eyes, distorted
Imaginations and diseased functions
testify to the truth of what I say."
At the conclusion of the lecture the
vast audience remained, shouting for
Mrs. Brooker, who finally stepped to
the front of the box, and bowing, de
livered a parting shot-" I would ask,"
said she,.." how can we reform the
Greene street women she speaks of,
and at the same time teach them to
live promiscuously with men ? " [Pro
longed cheers for Mrs. Brooker.] Mr.
Tilton then announced that the exer
cises were over, and the audience re
luctantly dispersed.
In this pleasant manner the New
York Tribune speaks of the Prince
Alexis, of Russia, who is now in this
country on a visit :
We give a cordial welcome to the
young son of the Czar, and express
the satisfaction felt by all Americans
at the dissipation, by his safe arrival,
of the forebodings to which the stormy
weather and the long delay had given
rise. We trust he may find his visit
as pleasant as the good-will of our
people would have it; and that the
simplicity and heartiness of the cour
tesies he may receive may fitly indi
cate the sincere regard in which we
have held the Ruler who abolished
Serfdom while we abolished Slavery,
and the Country that in our darkest
hours never failed to give us the great
aid of its moral support. If he is pur
sued with unwelcome attentions, the
experienced officers and men of the
world who form his suite will be able
to remind him that flunkeys flourish in
all climes; and if a few of the baser
sort persist in signalizing his visit by
abuse of his farther's Minister, he may
infer that American boors are able to
write. But our people make him
heartily welcome, and be glad to have
him feel during his travels on this
continent that he can never journey
far enough not to be among friends.
Attack on Administrative Cor
ruption.
This is from the Philadelphia Press:
The age in which we live dates the
beginning of a new epoch in American
history and that of the world as in
fluenced by ours, The activity in
spired by the firingupon Fort Sumter,
and the subsequent battles in which
we displayed so many grand energies
and though which we finally achieved
such great results, is not yet dormant.
To paraphrase Mr. Lincoln's grand
sentences, which nearer than anything
else ever written expressed the new
spirit of the nation, "' We highly re
solved that the dead should not die in
vain, that the nation should have a
new birth of freedom, and that the
government of the people, by the peo
ple, and for the people, should not
perish from the earth."
This pledge we have kept and are
still keeping. The theory of the
founders of the government has been
restored, all men are free and equal,
and the last vestige of slavery and
caste is being banished from the land.
But yesterday a citadel of con
servatism entered upon a new era.
Now, without bloodshed or anarchy,
we are on the eve of another great
change. An insidious evil, and for that
more dangerous than slavery, has
sprung up, and its blighting effects
are seen all over the country. Great
and serious abusesk ave grown upon
us unawares, and a faithful public
servant is fast getting to be as much
the exception as it was once the rule.
Bribery and corruption are becoming
universal. Wd are not all exaggerat
ing the piture. Scarce a day passes
but that there is some fresh exposure
of a betrayal of trust, or some new
assault upon the ballot. The most
glaring and dangerous "of the evils
that afflict us have all been pointed
out by the recent turn in public affairs
or are made apparent by the passing
revelations of each day's news. We
ourselves have moralized on the sub
ject, but the theme is a fruitful one,
and allows of indefinite discussion.
It is full time that, as a people, we
dedicated ourselves to a new task;
that we highly resolved to revert the
administration of the government
back to the customs of the fathers.
Not to lessen the fame of the soldiers,
nor to exalt the purpose which should
enlist us, for as Mr. Lincoln so elo
quently expressed it in the speech
from which we have already quoted,
we can neither add to nor detract their
fame, and the work is as noble a one
as theirs. Its manner infinitely more
so. The progressive spirit of the age
has pronounced against war and death
and fighting, as the means of accom
plishing reforms, and they are at all
times to be discountenanced.
Public officers must realize more
keenly their duties to the people, and
the people must demand the fulfill
ment to the letter of the trust reposed
in their servants. Commanding abili
ty, sterling patriotism, and, above all,
rigid honesty, must be the qualifica
tions imposed upon the official by the
voter, who must also appreciate more
than now the priceless value of the
suffrage and its potency for good or
evil.
Let us have our government-na
tional, State and municipal-honestly
administered by honest men ; and let
the people resolve that it shall not be
done otherwise. , Let us rescue politics
from its perverted sense, and public
station from its degradation.
Crushed ft Death In a Clock.
The bell-ringer in the cathedral at
Wurtzburg has perished under very
singular circumstances. The church
possesses a splendid clock, with pon
derous and complicated works, while
a pendulum of proportionate length
vibrates to and fro with a dull and
montonous thud. Recently the clock
needed cleaning, and the ringer was
deputed to superintend the work,
though he ruefully endeavored to be
excused from the task. It seemed
that he never willingly approached the
belfry from certain unpleasant asso
ciations. About twenty years ago he
killed his predecessor in office, accus
ing him of carrying on a criminal
intrigue with his wife. When brought
to trial he escaped the gallows owing
to a deficiency of legal proof. The
patronage of one of the cannons then
procured him the appointment vacant
by the death of his victim. Hence, it
is said, arose his superstitious dread
in connection with the belfry, which
was supposed by many to be haunted
by the ghost of the murdered ringer.
On the morning when'the clock was
to be cleaned, it suddenly stopped,
and the bell-ringer was nowhere to be
found. A workman from the town
was sent for, and ascended the tower,
when he was horrified to find the pen
dulum and lower works drigping with
blood.' Upon searching further, the
body of the bell-ringer was found
entangled in the works, frightfully
mangled and crushed. One supposi
tion is that he committed suicide by
climbing up the pendulum and then
pitching himself into the machinery
of the clock. But the wonder loving
gossips of the place, with a thoroughly
German propensity for the horrible,
declare that the guilty man, upon
reaching the gloomy chamber wherein
the works revolved, was horror
stricken by the apparition of his pre
decessor sitting aside the great bal
ance wheel of the clock, and had been
drawn into the works by a species of
horrible fascination, similar 'to that
which the rattlesnake is said to exer
cise over its prey. There sat the
spectre, rubbing his gory hands in
hideous glee, as the victim was slowly
drawn in among the cogwheels and
ratchets of the machinery. An agon
izing yell, a crush of bones, and all
was still! Such, according to Italis,
is the newest legend of the belfry of
Wurtzburg.

Resolutions
Adopted by the Republican State Con
vention, August 10th, 1871.
RESOLVED, That we declare the Republican
party of Louisiana in full sympathy with the
national Republican party; that we indorst
the platform of principles laid down by the
Chicago Convention.
esolved, That we believe that the con
gressional measures of reconstruction have
proved a complete success in our State. We
indorse these measures, and all laws of Con
gress enacted in the interests o order and
civil liberty. We believe that if honeetly and
fairly executed, these statutes will conduce
to the prosperity of the South a8d to the
strengthening of Republican institations.
Remolved, That we specially indorue those
planks of the Republican platiyirm which
pledged our party to the payment of the pub
lic debt.
Resolved, That we advocate the reduction
of national taxation, and a redistribution of
the impoets in such manner as to impose the
least possible burden upon the people.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves and our
party to faithful execution of the constitu
tional and statutory provisions for the public
education of all the children of the State
without disttnetion.
Reolved, That we indorse the Republican
administration of the national and State gov
ernments. We especially indorse and eorn.i
mend the officikl career of our Governor, H.
C. Warmoth. We do this because, in our
opinion, his administration of the government
of Louisiamn under reconstruction has been
so successful as to bring about the condition
of peace and order which characterizes our
State above all the other Southern States.
By reason of his execution of the laws, it is
possible for Republicans to assemble in any
part of the State, and the Republican party
consequently presents a united front and
compact organization.
Resolved, That we pledge our party to the
reduction of taxation, and we insist upon an
economical administration of the govern
meat. We condemn indiscriumnate appro
propriations to individual enterprises, and
we urge upon the Legislature the curtail
ment of its expenses.
Resolved, That we advocate a policy of
reasonable and wise appropriations by the
State to internal improvements. We call
upon the national Congress to give to the
South its full quota of aid and assistance to
the improvement of our harbors and rivers.
We believe that we are entitled to a appro
priation to assist in opening the'mouth oftho
Mississippi, and in constructing our levees.
Resolved, That we tender our thanks to
Messrs. Harris, Garatkamp, Stamps, Swords
and other members of the late Central Corn
mittee, who remained true to the party, and
refused to enter the combination for its
overthrow.
Resolved, That we denounce the outrage
ous acts of the federal officials connected
with the late State Central Committee, for
having attempted to pack this convention
with their chosen adherents, against the
eipressed will of the Republicans of the
State. We denounce them for having called
the convention to meet in a United States
courtroom, in a United States Customhouse;
we denounce them for having attempted to
intimidate the convention by surrounding it
with armed special deputy marshals; we
denounce them for having closed the door of
the courtroom, and having barred the en
trance of the Customhouse; we denounce
them for attempting to exclude from this
convention ninety-five delegates of the peo
ple, who were met at the threshold by two
companies of the United States army, called
out by these men to assist in carrying this
convention against the people. We denounce
their whole conduct in connection with the
calling out and assembling of this body.
They were guilty of every unfairness in the
progress of the election for delegajes. They
were guilty f simulation and fraud in con
nection with the determination of the time
and place of meeting. They finally estab
lished, without authority, eertain pretended
rules relative to the admission of delegates,
calculated to further their scheme. They
admitted to the convention hall, or to an
adjoining room, with an open door, their
fraudulent delegates, while the doors were
kept closed against the bona fide members
of the convention until the hour of meeting,
in order that they might spring and fere an
organization under the protection of the
revolvers of their marshals, and the bayo
nets of their soldiers.
Resolved, That we express our conviction
that these outrages were not perpetrated
with the knowledge or consent of President
Grant; we disbelieve the statement of Mar
shal Packard to that effect; we proclaim our
earnest hope that our President will repudiate
the acts of these men; and we declare that
we will only withdraw our hearty support
and endorsement of him when we shall learn
that we were outraged and insulted by his
officers after consultation with him, and by
his advice and consent.
Resolved, That we believe that the Presi
dent alone can unite and harmoni. the
Republican organizationin our,State. several
of his office holders have formed a combina
tion with an insignificant bolting Action of
Republicans; but they seem determined to
rule or ruin the party. Therefore, for the
purpose of healing these diferences, sad to
insure our success in 1872, we respecttully as
the removal of Marshal Packard, Collector
Casey, Assessor Joubert, Revenue Collector
Stockdale, Special Deputy Collector Herwig
and Postmaster Lowell, and we ask the sp.
pointmen of men who will sunpport the
Repblican party of Louisiana.
Reolved, That the President of this cen
vention be requested to appoint a committee
of twenty Republi~mns to wait upon Pred
dent Grant, and to represent to him the facts
stated jA the above and foregoing resola
