(INK of the strong points in the New York Democratic Platform, adopted a Rochester this week is a denunciation of the act of Congress so modifying the naturalization laws as to provide safeguards against the wholesale frauds of

TWEKD and Tammany in the city of New York. Of course, the Tammanvites want thene frauds continued, as it is their only hopo of carrying the State. But what say honest Democrats in Indiana and elsewhere as to these crimes?

IT is a most encouraging fact that all of the fall elect Ions held thus far have resulted in Republican victories. First came the echoes from the green hills of

Vermont of the usual sweeping triumph then Maine, the "Star of the East," followed with another emphatic majority then the golden territory of Colorado elected the entire Republican ticket, and lastly Wyoming repudiated her Democratic majority of last year by casting a handsome one for the Republicans.

THE opinion is very generally expressed that the election frauds in New York city will be in a great measure checked at the November election. Heretofore to investigate and punish these frauds ia that city was impossible, for the reason that the party who committed them controlled the Judiciary but Congress, at its last session, knowing that frauds were com* milted, passed a law giving the United States Courts exclusive jurisdiction in cases of fraud committed at an election for President of the United States or members of Congress. This will, we trust, have asalutary restraint upon the Democratic "repeaters" at the coming election.

AN exchange discovers that "profligacy," as defined in the Democratic dictionary, consists in the Republican administration paying off the national debt at the rate of $100,000,000 a year, reducing taxation, cutting off unnecessary expense in every department of the Government, and the restoration of the public faith and credit. Words are said to be invented to conceal ideas, but here is a term in constant use, to deline a condition of things about which there is no wish for concealment. The "profligacy" of President GRANT'S administration, signifies its careful watchfulness and honesty.

THE Kansas Democracy, in their State platform, call for "the reduction, if not abolition, of the hateful and oppressive internal revenue taxation."

The Democracy of Illinois, in their State platform, in effect demand the repeal of the tariff, which would strike off all external, or import taxation.

Between these two "planks" the Chica go Repblican greatly wonders what kind of taxes the Democracy would levy. To adopt either, is to repudiate the public debt, destroy tlie National credit, and stop the wheels of Government. To ad vocate both at once, is quite consistent with Democratic tactics in different localities, and about as near uniformity in creed as they ever get. In Kansas, they want a tariff and no internal taxes while in Illinois, they want internal taxes, and no tariff. Do the leaders really know what thev do want?

The Chinese as Servauts. While the employment of Chinese as domestic servants may be in many respects desirable, it is as well to avoid undue enthusiasm upon the subject. A Boston agent for securing the services of these has many applications for them, but he is obliged to cease advertising the business for an unforeseen reason. Chinamen are very clannish, and object to being separated from their countrymen, preferring to engage themselves in com panies. There is said, also, to be some disagreeable experiences at times, on the part of family employers, in another way. They find that Chinese servants are very peculiar as to temper,—quick to take offense at slight and, to the white man, unintelligible causes. And when they do get into a passion, resort to weapons of some sort may not (infrequently be looked for. At all events this is what some peo pie say who profess to know them well. That Chinamen can be ferocious, the Tien-tsin massacre shows clearly enough. Without, therefore, discouraging the new movement in regard to domestic service, it may not be amiss to suggest seeking fuller information upon the subject than we now have.—X. World.

The Large Cities.

The population of Chicago is now ascertained by a completed census to be 207, 71$, and that of the county is ,o4S,709. These figures hardly sustain some of the boasts which have been made, but the Tribune clams, we believe with truth, that it has predicted the result very closely. The gain has been enormous 141 per cent, in the county and 173 per cent, in the city, in ten years. We believe no other city in thecountry will show as rapid an increase.

Until very recently wc have supposed that the city of Chicago would undoubtedly exceed the city of St. Louis in population. Incomplete reports of our own census, however, indicate that this is not quite certain. The population of the citv thus far recorded is over 280,000, if we are rightly informed, with parts of wards not yet returned, which, it is thought, will raise it to nearly 300,000. The difference, at any rate, will be not large, but there is some possibility, perhaps, that this city may after all come out a triHe ahead. In that case, it will be the fourth city in the country, or counting New York and Brooklyn as one, the third in population. The returns from Cincinnati show, as we anticipated, that St. Louis has quite outgrown that city. Its population is not far from 250,000. Boston, with 177,000 in 1S60, and Baltimore with 212,000 then, have both been passed, as well as Cincinnati, if the latest reports are correct. New Orleans was also ahead of us in 1SG0, but is now in the rear. So that while St. Louis was the eighth city in population in 1860, it is now the fifth, or if it keeps ahead of Chicago, the fourth.—St. Louis

Oorre.-iM.mle lice of Cincinnati Times.] C'IIKYEXNE, WVOMTM:, Sept. 7, 1870. Being aware of the fact that you arc no women's rights man, I wish to give you some idea of how our election day passed off. I suppose you are aware of the fact that the women of Wyoming have had the right to vote conferred on u.«. I say us, for 1 am one of the Wyoming women, and feel proud of being called such. Well, yesterday, the Gth, being election day, our citizens turned out en inaxxe to celebrate the great event—the day when free women turned out to do what all true citizens call a sacred duty.

I only wish you and all other anti-wo-men's rights men could have been near by to see how proudly the men walked to the polls with their wives or sisters, mothers or swecthearto on their arms, and I know you would have been pleased. When it was first proposed that women should vote, the women felt delicate abotu going but our ministers nobly stepped forward and told the women not to be backward, for they would set the example by taking their wives. So the women then took courage and came proudly forward to do their duty. There were judges and their wives, lawyers and their wives doctors and their wives, ministers and their wives, merchants and their wives, mechanics and their wives, and laborers and their wives, and .til classes, both rich and poor, came forward and cast their vote, each man feeling proud of his female companion.

There has never an election passed off so pleasantly in this Territory before. There were lots of men collected around the polls to see how things would be conducted they were talking and laughing, and discussing politics, but as soon as they would see a woman coming they would all stand back and make room for her to pass. Even the rowdies kept still while women stood near. I never saw a more orderly set of men in my life, and each man that came forth with a female companion to cast her vote at the same time he cast his, that man looked proud and happy. My husband took my mother and myself to the polls, and I know that he" fGlt proud of having that right: and as a person would walk along the street it looked so nice to see little groups of friends and neighbors, both men and women, talking and discussing politics. I, for one, think that it will make men and women more united. We will all work together for one common cause women will take more interest in the welfare of the State or Territory now that we are allowed to have a voice in its politics.

Well, Mr. Editor, to tell it all in a fewwords, our election day was more like a great holiday than anything else.

Our little band of pioneer women has shown in part what can be done. I and my friends here in this Territory have voted once, and I hope to live to see the day when every woman in America will have the same great privilege. Oh how I do wish our champion, Fanny Fern, could have been here yesterday, so that all wo men could have heard her opinion given through her powerful pen! or that Mrs. Stanton could have been here to have taken notes, so she could have told how things were conducted, for she can express herself before the world! I hope to see the day when women can come forward and express themselves without fear or ridicule. Women Are just beginning to see for themselves and to think with out fear.

Well, I will say for our Cheyenne men they acted nobly almost to a man. They sanctioned women voting, and our head men took the lead. They will always have the gratitude of us women for their kindness to us Every man knows that, as a general rule, women are grateful. and will not forget kindness shown to them. We will ever remember our friends Governor Judge II— General and many more who stood bv us in the time of need

began: "In 1S4S, I had been in business a year or so, and was beginning to pick up stray cases. One night in the small hours the night-bell rang faintly over my head. 1 wanted work in those days, and its clamor was not quite so altogether horrible as ii became in after years so I jumped up, and, putting on my wrapper, opened the window and called aloud to know who wanted me. Hearing no answer, and the night being utterly dark, I slipped on my clothes and went down to the door. To my surprise there was no one visible, and the street wasblack and silent. Annoyed at the impatience of my visitor, I went sullenly back to bed. The next night, at the same hour of two o'clock, the bell rang again, and, as before, faintly, like the ring of a child. The night was cloudless and the moon brilliant, but no one was on the steps or near them. Instantly I was possessed with a strange impression of ten or as I closed the window and stood a moment thoughtful before going back to bed. I had scarcely fallen asleep when the bell rang once more. On this occasion I dressed instantly and went down to the door. As before, there was no one in sight. Still in doubt, I went out and explored in vain the dark side of the street and the nearer shadows. You may laugh, colonel, but the thing wasn't pleasant. The next night I resolved to sit up and catch the disturber. Providing myself, therefore, with a good sticlr. I left the street door unlocked, so as to be easily opened, and then lit a cigar and settled down to read in my office. Precisely as the clock struck two the doorbell rarg. In a moment I had opened it, exclaiming, 'So I've got you at last!" Then I paused in my wrath. On the top step was the wee little figure of a child about nine years old, as I judged, barefooted, although the night was cold, and mufHed up in something like the torn half of a ragged coverlet. 'Come in out of the cold,' I said, 'and tell me what you want.' "Without saying a word, the child walked into my office. As it faced the light I saw the wanest and weariest little visage, with great brown eyes, long, tangled yellow hair, and white lips, which said, feebly,— 'Mammy is dying. You come along quick, sir.' "1 put on my overcoat and went out with her, saying,—

Good heavens, child! who sent you out in this dress?' For the little thing seemed to be in short white petticoats and without a gown. "She made no reply, except to repeat, 'Come quick, sir' Out we went. 'What's your name?' says I'Susy.' 'Aren't you cold?' 'No.' !-_ .: /. 'Were you here last night?' I said, on a sudden. 'Yes.' 'Who sent you?' "'Don't know.' 'Why did you run away? 'Don't know.' "Meanwhile the little naked feet trotted on in front of me swiftly, and sudden ly turning into Crosby street, dived into a dark court. Here she opened a door and I followed her up stairs. We climb ed three stories of a mean, ill-smelling staircase, till she suddenly stopped befor a door in the attic, which she opened in turn, so that we went together into wretched garret. The room was deadly cold, and I saw by a flickering tallow candle a fireless stove, bare floor and walls, and every sign of the deepest mis ery. On a straw mattress lay a woman with features pinched and haggard, her feet bare, because she had drawn the scanty covering up about her chest "'"What can I do for you?' I said arousing her with difficulty. 'Nothing,' said a weak voice, husky and broken. 'I am starved—that's all. Then relapsing into the delirium from which my words had called her for a mo ment, she began to wander anew. "LTpon this I turned to the child. To my surprise, she was gone, leaving me alone with the dying woman. Kneeling beside her, I called aloud in her ear anc gently shook her, when again she grew partially sensible. 'Where is the child?' I said. 1 want her to call some one in the house, so as to get a little help.' 'Child!' she said. 'What child?' 'Susy,' said I, recalling her name. "At tills the woman suddenly sat up, pointed across the garret, and exclaimed 'Susy! She's over yonder—been dead these three days. Starved too, I guess and so saying she fell back, groaned, struggled an" instant, and was dead. 'Shocked at the horror of the scene, I slowly got up from my knees, and taking the failing candle, walked over to the far corner, where a confused heap lay on the floor covered with a torn counterpane, raised the corner, and bending over saw that the heap was a dead child, and that its face was that of the little wanderer who had summoned me a few minutes before. As I looked the candle sputtered and went out, and the cold, pitiless moonlight fell through the broken panes upon the floor. I got out and went home That's my story, Colonel."—LippinrotC, Magazine for October.

A Physician on the Stand The standard legal dictionaries in use may be searched in vain for a more accu rate definition of legal terms than those recently given by a physician in Pulaski Tennessee, as reported to us by a leading member of the bar in that place. Mr. and Mr. L., opposing counsel in a pending case, were engaged taking depositions to be used on the trial of a cause. The question as to a certain woman's sound ness of mind being in controversy, a phy sician was called as a medical expert and during his examination the following dialogue took place:

Q. Do you think this lady is of sound mind? A. No, sir I do not.

Q. Does she know the difference between a "power of attorney" and "an ab solute conveyance?"

A. No, sir of course she don't, and there are very few women who do. Q. Do you know the difference?

A. Yes, sir of course I do. Do you suppose 1 am an ignoramus? Q. Well, sir, will you be kind enough to tell us the difference?

A. Well—well, "a power of attorney" is the strength of mind of any particular lawyer and an "absolute conveyance" a hack, or omnibus, or railroad car, or something of that sort.
