The orthography, to say the least, was simply "awful," and grammar'was, "as it were," a stranger to civilization.

The "Logan" boys, in one place in their letter, denied having sent any challenge, and about two lines below this denial they wroto, "why didn't you accept sooner, you have had our challenge about a month, and we won't have time to drill." They are evidently afraid of the boy, and well they may be. They say that they have sold their old guns, and have ordered new ones, and at some future time they will drill with our Cadets. The idea of a military company of any account whatever, having to buy or sell rifles.

At the WiKwain Saturday XlRht.

The Weaver rally came off, as announced, last Saturday night, and the Wigwam was full of curiosity seekers and members of the party. The speakers of the evening were escorted to the Wigwam by a torchlight procession numbering about two hundred men and boys. After reaching the .park, J. H. Allen introduced to the assembly General J. B. Weaver, candidate on the National ticket for President of the United States. After a short speech he gave way to "Plan" Buchanan, who talked a few minutes about nothing. By the time "Buck." got through the crowd, which was composed mainly of persons curious to see "what sort of a lookin' feller Weaver is," had become pretty well thinned out and the meeting adjourned. -mnneer

Attempted Rape.

A party of ruffians last night went to the houc"of a widow named Brad, living oh south Fourteenth and-a-half street and demanded admittance. They were refused, and as the door was not secured they walked into the room and up to the bed were the woman's daughter was lying and attempted to gratify their hellish desires, but the screams of the girl scared them off, and thinking that the house was free from any more such visitation the oc cupants again retired to rest. This happened about IS o'clock. AT four o'clock the party again returned and putting the woman out of the house, they took' the daughter out on the prairie and agrin attempted to fulfill their purpose. The screams soon prevented the accomplishment of it however and as the men did not leave the neighborhood, an officer was sent for and policemen Adams ajfd Vandell went to the house and arrested two of the parties who were nnder the influence of liquor. The others made their escape. The two who wpre captured were tried by Justice Cookeriy this morning and bound over In the stun of $&00>

Shot Hlmxelf.

Johny, a fourteen year old son of John Bell, living at No. 223 North Third street, came near putting an end to his existence yesterday, by fooling with a revolver. He started about two o'clock with a crowd of boys for Barley's Grove. They played about the grove for some time, and finally sat down under a tree, when Johnny pulled a pistol from his pocket an began tampering with it. While looking down tho barrel, the weapon was discharged, the ball striking the youth in the center of the forehead. The ball did not penetrate the skull, but glanced and took a course between the skull and scalp. "The unfortunate little fellow was taken to his brother's who lives on Sixth-and-a-half street, and Dr. Laughead was called in, The ball has not yet been extracted, but it is supposed it is lodged somewhere near the top of the head. The physician thinks nothing serious will result, although the boy suf fern very much. This is a lesson to boys who carry firearms about with them-

Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, August 21.

Editor Daily News:

Leaving the torrid heat of the capital, and flying away northward between mountains, across valleys and beside rolling rivers, the quiet of this peaceful, restful city in the woods, was reached, with no incident of note, save one of prophecy, found in the taking of a vote on the train soon after leaving Pittsburg, which resulted, 445 for Garfield, and 188 for Hancock. If there ever was a time in the history of our country when the people were thoroughly aroused to the magnitude of the issues to be settled by a Presidentia electional, that time is now. It is written on the faces, impressed on the hearts of the people, and will manifest itself in results at the ballot box. The doctrines of the solid South find very little favor here at this great university with its 10,000 temporary residents. The game of tak ing a brave Union General as the leader of the bourbon hosts is too transparent to be successful, and it is fast being demonstrated to the people of the whole North, that on the Democratic side it is but a rcpeti tion of past rebel Campaigns.

They tried it once in Sixty-four, McClellan could not como It, And Seymour too in Sixty-eight "My Friends" he said could do it A platform made in Seventy-two

And Horace G. ran on it. While 8 to 7 beat Tiltlcn's bar'l This fall brave men will do it.

With Garfleld and Arthur.

The arrival of General Garfleld at Chautauqua on Saturday evening was the occasion of an early breaking of camp on Sab bath to be ready for the morning services as it was understood-Gcneral Garfleld was to be present. The great Amphitheatre was packed at an early hour, and on the entrance of the distinguished visitors the great audience blossomed under a shawer of waving handkerchiefs, which is Chautauqua's most generous greeting. 'On Monday morning before leaving, General Garfield was introduced to the gathered thousands by General C. B. Fiske, and in response said in brief, that two great questions had confronted the wisdom of the ages the first was how to secure leisure hours, and the second what to do with them, and he had been at Chautauqua long enough to find that here, that question had been fettled. Amid waving handkerchiefs and rousing cheers he was escorted to the boat. The loyal hearts of the peoplo everywhere beat in aympatny with this Soldier, Statesman and Christian soon to be elevated to the Presidency.

There is one point in the Democratic campaign this year which seems to be but little noticed. It is the silence that party keeps on the question of Southern claims and claimants. The Democratic speakers are making no promises on that, to them, very interesting and important subject.

Their newspapers being entirely without responsibility, tell us that under the Constitution, that beloved instrument of Democaatic ideas, no war debt of the insurrectionary States can be paid. How beautiful that is, how frank, how honest, how submissive.

These same papers neglect to inform us that in lieu of leaving their war debts paid, they intend to present, in fact have presented individual claims for losses by the war, to the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars. The blandnoss and child-like simplicity of the heathen Chinee on that memorable "August the third," is as nothing when compared to the beautiful smiles of these bourbon journals when treating this subject. It will not do. The people of this country are not fools, neither are they idiots. Let the orators of the bourbon party tell ua from the stump the position they take on this question. The leading members of the party who occupy seats in Congress may put themselves on record during the campaign and in this way only can they satisfy the people. Walk up gentlemen, and explain how you will vote on the question of paying rebel war claims. Silence means that you are in favor of paying them. Nothing but the plainest promises on your part will induce the people too think you oppose their payment. Tell as how you stand, gentlemen, and do it early and often. The people are now suspecting you from your long silence. They await your reply. PKAKB.

Koiiffh Killed U) ti Trump.

SPRINGFIELD, O., August 22.—A notorious character named James McKinnoy was murdered here last night, by a man whose name is unknown, but whose description has been furnished the police. He is one of a party of vagabonds mov ine from plage to place in a wagon. McKinncy and one or two friends were in Hax's beer garden, on the Yellow Springs road, about 4 p. m. yesterday, when a woman came in and offered to tell their fortunes, which was declined. She used insulting language, and toid the men if they wantea a fight to come over to the wagon near by and they would be accommodated.

After going out upon the road, McKmney met one of the movers, with whom he had some words. The man had a pistol, but did not shoot. He was seen to strike McKinncy, who fell instantly, striking upon his head. He was taken to his home on Patton street, but the people supposing him drunk and not badly hurt, dia not call a doctor, and left him lying on a lounge. This morning he was found dead upon the floor. The blow cut Ids ear open, and his skull was fractured, causing death—at what hour is not known. He was a hard case, and had served three separate terms in the Ohio penitentiary, the last three years ago, for highway robbery.

MARIETTA, O., August 22.—A most tertible case of double infanticide occurred at Lowell, a town on the Muskingum Rrver, about twelve miles above here yes terday morning. The particulars arc aboutas follows John Farley and Annie Farley, his wife, resided in the upper portion of Lowell, and were the parent# of five children, the two youngest, the victims, being twins about five weeks old.

She quickly folowed him over and •found both twins lying on a bea dead. Both children were wet and their hair especially, so this lady's suspicions wera at once aroused, and she informed the neighbors of her suspicions.
