"Xest Hiding" at Hillsboro. Dr. Benjamin A. Tinslev, a member of Hillsboro Lodge, No. 3So, F. A. A. M., is charged with having taken advantage of professional visits to a family of a brother Mason and brought ruin upon liitn by seducing his wife. The sufferer publishes the following card in the Covington Republic, this week

Mr. Benjamin A. Tinslev, who has been a practising physician and resident of this town, has fled his home, and to warn the world at large against such a -coundrel give you the facts, leaving out the names ot those he ruined. Said b. A. Tinsley, about the first of July, 1872, was professionally called to wait upon a lady who had a miscarriage, and has constantly been the attending phvscian of that family ever since, until July S, 1S7-1. Besides that lie was tlie confidential friend pretendingly of the husband of the lady. The lady is about 2") years of age, and at the time he was first called us a physician she was the mother of three children.

Taking advantage of his professional chansre for ci position, and by resorting to threats and entreaties, he violated the person of the lady, and has repeatedly committed the crime, often when called professionally to the house. This man Tinslev is a Mason, a member of Hillsboro Lodge, No. and the husband of the lady is also a master Mason in good standing, and member of the same Lodge. I warn all Masons everywhere against Benjamin A. Tinsley. Hi lias broken up and ruined a prosperous family, and brought grief to many friends. Aflidavits by the score can he produced from good citizens here to sustain the above facts. I ask that you give this room in your paper, requesting State papers to copy.

The sufferer referred to above is G. W. Paul, an attorney at law, well known to the bar of this city, and a gentleman of great respectability.

A Natural Alliance. From the Terre Haute Kx}»r^. The Indianapolis Saloon Keeper's1 As-! sociation, self-named the Society of Free-1 dom and Iliglit, has formally approved the ticket. The large sum of monev

the election of the ticket nominated. The Saloon Keepers Association of this city should now follow suit so that the lines of battle shall be clearly drawn between the saloons and the people. The question to be decided in October is whether the itiloons tire to rule the State for the next t\\ O ears.

Democracy and Education. From tin- Sun. The sixteenth section of the Democratic platform declares in favor of abolishing the otlice of County Superintendent of Schools. This is but natural. Under the provisions of the law creating that office, the common schools of Indiana have been put in better condition than they ever were before, and the Democrats see in such a condition of the schools, the handwriting on the walls. Education and Democracy are as opposite as the North and South Poles.

Of Putrid Reminiscence. Krom the New York World.

A very dead horse lies spread out stiff, stark, and cold on the Indiana Democratic platform. It is the Pendleton proposition to pay the Five-twenty Bonds in greenbacks. Some rascally Ohio politician dumped it there, we suppose, to destroy Mr. Hendricks' chances for the Presidential nomination in 187G. That dead horse had better be catted oil to the rendering vats as soon as convenient, The stench would not be good for the health of the Democratic party.
