Elmira (N. V) G< ' t*‘: i!y a uni ,n of Democrats an.l oiconbackers tin* Republican pally was cleaned out in Hornell.sville on Tuesday. The Trillline says: “This ideally demonstrates tho folly of the two parties, so mar akin in policy and both determined enemies of the radical Republicans, in attempting to pull against each other, for had the same policy been pursued the common enemy would, as usual, triumphed over both, while now it is made to let- d decidedly the fact that it Is in a minority among tiie vot. ra of the town.” The Nashville American says tliat 40 acres and a mule used to be offered to every negro in the South who wo’d vote the Republican ticket. The Indiana Reoublienns see this offer and go one better. The negro oxouuster is not only of ered work and rations, but is also promised a white wife if he will only emigrate to the IluOsier State an.l d itifnlly support the party of “groat moral ideas.” No wonder the ebo shins and gizzard foots of the TarHerl State, are rapidly flooding the {promised lnnd of the West, if there is anything in this world the neg o man wants above all others, it is to have a white wife by his side. Senator Hill, of Georgia, recently when speaking of the charge that* Sumner hud used the phrase “coi rupt secession traitors, said: “Stephens aud I bctli think Sumner did a very foolish tiling in writing that letter, but, my heavens, we can’t proscribe a man, an original Unionman, too, for saying Unit secession was treason. Mint* than half the people In this country think that way. lam opposed to proscribing a man f~r ids opinions on that dead issue- of secession unyhow. I condemn radi.als for proscribing southern men because they hold secession was not treasonand I equally condemn any attempt of the Southern people to proscribe any mun, or say lie shall not hold office because lie believes that scecseion was treason. Secession is de.nl, and I am in favor or burying it for evei.”

A low days ago a disagieen out arose b« t veen a couple of little liv - year old hoys, when one of them dealt the other a sevro blow in the face. The injured boy measured his antagonist. concluded he* could not wade in. and therefore retorted: ‘lf I didn’t have my Sunday clothes on, I would 1 i k you!” After boasting of what lie w mid do when once he spread on ti.e war paint, the Republican editor n r.s says; “It is beneath the dignity of an editor to controvert the lwad die of school beys and cross-road politicians. We n-vor truss swords with anonymous scribUers because ttiey arc uuwoit .y of our steel.” —!

To the Editors of the Scioto Gazelle: About four o’clock on the 6th iust. our usually quiet village was thrown into an unusual excitement .by the report that Malinda Depew had com mitted suicide by hanging. Your correspondent immediately hastened to the resilience of James Corkwell, at whose house she made her home. Upon inquiry I learned that, for some j time previous she seemed to be in great trouble about herself and situation in lire, and this, added to a de- | dining 3tate of health, seemed too j much for her feeble mind. She had frequently hinted to her immediate friends the idea of such a course, frequently asking them what they tho’t would bo the result in the future if such a tiling should occur. Not much attention was paid to this, and at these times of excitement her rriends would trv to divert her ufind as much as possible. But, alas, she was deeply la earnest; and about four o’clock on the (itli inst. she retired to an jnoe cupied apartment of the house, and fastening a piece of bed-cord to tim bers above and making a slip-noose in on’c end of tho rope and fastening it around her neck, launched herself into eternity. Mrs. Eepew’s maiden name was Hig man. She was raised near this place at the I ouse of her grandmofite-, Mu ! limla Satchel, and in 1865 removed with her gjandtnother to Indiana. In j 1877 she was married to Isaac Depew, ; wiiO died in about fourteen months | after their marriage, leaving her a j widow. In the meantime her grand- - mot her also died and left her without i a home. Last spring she came back ; to this neighborhood among her relatives and friends, and has lived at I different places where she could find a home. About Christmas she stopped | with the family of James Corkwell, in j this village, and remained ascontented as the state of her mind would permit. Her relatives here are a father. a half sister and a half-brother. The enclosed is the verdict of the Coroner’s jury in her case;

'2O, 1830. | Speaking of the proposed consti- ! tutional amendments, elsevherc published, the Yincennes Suu says: It is aspeeious argument of those favoring tlie amendments—that amendment No. fi does not make it obligatory on tlie Legislature to pas* a registration law. But mark the closing words of the proposed amendment; “and shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote. ’ Let not the voters of Indiana be deceived by such sophistry —if the amendments pass w*e shall most certainly have a registration law with all the fraud and expense and corruption that the name registration implies.

For the pui pose of making the organization throughout the State useful and effective, the following dirict m- are ssued by the T* lOeratic State Central Committee: 1 Organization should begin as early as possible in the campaign year at a time prior to the April election; certainly before the meeting of the State convention. 2. Each township, at tho meeting for the nomination of candidates to be voted for at the April election, should select its local committee arid the officers 1 hereof for »lie ensuing two years. fi. The chairman of tiiesevera! tow; - ship committees thus chosen, should, at. tht meeting of the County convention, he selected as members of tiie County Central Committee, \vfiii -h should as soon thereafter as possible organize by the selection of the necessary officers. •1. The chairman, secretaries and treasures of County committee in each judicial or joint legislative district should eoiisti! 1 te the joint commit! u* for said bis: 1 sv*. 5. The ehaii man of I he several conn ty committees in each district should consti■ ute tlie i-ongiessiutial district committee, having for its chairman 1 1 e member of tiie State Central com mittee, who is selected by tin* district d. legates in State convention.
