Thursday Morning, February 1,181
THE Republican Slate Committee of Texas proposes to follow the bad example set in Georgia, by appointing delegates to the Philadelphia Convention.
DOOLITTLE cornea to the surface again, and glorifies the 'possum. If th6 "thumbsuukers" can stand DOOLITTLE,- their tenacity of life will be satisfactorily demon strated. If we were trying to engineer a new party through the precarious stage of early adolescence, we wonld rather see it attacked with a combination of whooping cough, measles and seven years' itch than to have the dead weight of DOOLIT TLK settle down on its vital3.
THERE arc about forty thousand people in the prisons of forty State penitentiaries, houses of correction, and other pu nitive and reformatory institutions. In the Northeastern States the prison population is decreasing, in the Middle States it remains in statu quojwhile in the South and extreme West it is increasing in a rapid and unprecedented ratio. The only penitentiary in the country where the system of solitary canfinement is practiced is in Philadelphia. At all others the Auburn or congregate plan is in vogue
TIIE Labor Reform party hold* its Na tional Convention at Columbus on the 21st of February. Though the Commit tee has declined to postpone the call, will of course be in the power of the Convention, when assembled, to use its own discretion-as to nominating a Presidential ticket at that time. The "Times and Chronicle" says: "There is an impression that Mr. JULIAN or Governor GEARY will be nominated, but we look for a different result of that gathering. Such action would be neither timely nor effective."
WE HAVE not a doubt that an over whelming majority of the Republican voters of the United States desire the renomination of President GRANT. And lhat he will be the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention seems to us as nearly certain as any human event of the future. But free discussion of the claims of candidates, the chances of success, and the relative merits of real or supposed rivals, is always in order. Hence we have been accustomed to reproduce the suggestions of our cotemporaries in this connection, and shall continue to do so until discussion ceases.
For our own part, we are sure that the administration of General GRANT has been a decided success, and shall favor his renomination, so long as we believe the interest of the country will be best subserved by such a course.
IF ONE could imagine the rusty machinery of the Inquisition, transported from Spain to the United States, and put in operation in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, the anachronism would be scarcely less glaring than DAN VOORHEES' hideous howling about the negro in this \ear of our Lord, 1872. The world has made a century's progress in the last decade, but DAN hasn't budged an inch from where he stood when he made his celebrated Virginia oration, of which only an expurgated edition was permitted to be circulated at the North If he should live twenty years longer (and we certainly wish him abundant, length of days) and if the world should continue to move with the regularly accel erated velocity that has marked the last few years, he will be a mediseval charae ter, having as much sympathy with ADAM as with any living man more nearly allied to NOAH than to the peopl among whom he will linger.
TEHPEBANCE ALLIANCE'.
To the Friends of Temperance.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 15, 1872. The next Annual Session of Indiana State Temperance Alliance will be held at Lafayette, Indiana, in Corinthian Hall February, 6th, 7th and 8th, 1872, commencing a! 2 o'clock, P.
31.,
on Tuesday
the 6th. All Churches, Sabbath Schools, Alliance? and Temperance Organizations, are requested to give notice of the time and place of the meeting, and to send two or more delegates to represent them Free entertainment while at the Convention, and half fare going and coming. The Alliance ha3 become a power in the State, and it is very important, in view of the coming political excitement, that the Annual Session should be largely at tended.
The papers of the Stale arc requested to copy. R. T. BROWN, President. ('. MARTINDALE, Corresponding Sec'y.
WEND ALL PHILLIPS, in his lecture on the "Lost Arts," attributes the discovery of the microscope and the telescope to the ancients. But an Italian-scientist has re cently published a paper "on the optical instruments falsely attributed to the ancients by some modern scholars," which it is very clearly shown that in this assertion Mr. Phillips is mistaken. The author—M. Martin—denies that the optical tube with which the ancients observed the stars was anything but a tube without lenses and accounts for their having seen stars, now only discoverable with a glass, on the supposition that such astronomers were endowed with uncom. mon vision besides, that the stars themselves may have undergone change in the meantime affecting their prominence and importance.
THE Philadelphia "Ledger" comically says: "Relative to the nomination of Colonel Thomas A. Scott, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania railroad, for President of the'United States, it is remarked that the gentleman can not really be prevailed upon to accept, unless he can get a loose of the office for nine hundred and ninety-nine years."
"A BASKET of champagne!" exclaimed a country dame, "Why, I declare, now I I always thought champagne was watery stuff, like I never knowed you could carry it in a basket."
A NATION'S character is the sum of its splendid deeds they constitute one common patrimony, the nation's inheritance. They awe foreign powers, they arouse and animate our own peode.—Henrv Clay.
MANY do not get on in the world, because they have not the courage to begin in right good earnest. The first few dollars laid past are the difficulty. The first blow is half the battle.

i)R. SPENCER'S CRIME.
A Story by a Physician.
I was sitting in my office, half dozing over an interminable article on defective nutrition in the last "Medical Review."
The fire in the grate was low, the night was stormy, and the clock was on the stroke of 11. I wa3 just about to turn off the ga3 and retire, for, being a bachelor, I slept in a room connected with my office, when there was a pull at the bell.
I took up my night lamp and went to the door. A strong gust of damp, sleety wind nearly extinguished the light, bnt, shading it with my hand, I dimly discerned the form of a woman. "Come in," I said, holding open the door but she declined with a gesture of impatience. "You must come out," she said, in a sharp incisive lone, "and be quick about it."
I put on my overcoat without demur, locked the surgery door, and stepped into the storm. As I did so the woman laid a firm hand on my arm, and putting her face close to mine said: "Dr. Lookwood,can you keep a secret?" "I think so, madam." "Swear it." "Is this secret of yours of a professional character? That is, is it anything you wish to confide to me as a medical man?" "It is." "Very well, then I swear it." "That is right." "Whither are you taking me, and for what purpose?" "To the Clifton House to see the mistress."
Clifton House was the old mansion recently taken by Dr. Spencer, a stranger to every one in Middlebury. Spencer was a tall, dark, rather distinguished looking man, who had hung out his sigh in the village only a few doors above mine, but as yet he had no practice.
He was unsocial in the extreme, avoiding his neighbors persistently, and when he did speak it was in such a curt, half savage way that one was not likely to attempt prolonging the conversation.
The doctor had a wife, it is said, but no orfe ever saw her. She was an invalid, and Miss Melrose, a friend of the family, presided over the establishment and sat at the head of the table. Miss Melrose was yet beautiful, and won the admiration of all who visited Clifton House, by her grace of manner and .fascinating conversation. ''As we walk along," said my companion, "let me explain to you just what it is necessary you should know. My mistress is very ill." "I beg your pardon—is it Mrs. Spencer or Miss Melrose?"
She laughed bitterly. "Miss Melrose! I would 3tab her to the heart sooner than own her as a mistress. My mistress is a lad v—noble, royal and of gentle birth. It is an honor to serve my mistress." "And"is she ill? How long since?" "Ever since she married him, curse him," she muttered in a fierce tone but I must not get excited. I must tell my story, or rather her's. Two years ago, through the desire of her dying father, Alice Herndon became Jame3 Spencer's wife. Before that she was a healthy, blooming girl immedintely after this marriage she began to fail. Do you see anything strange in that?" "Not necessarily."
Let me enlighten you further. Doctor Spencer was at one time engaged to Miss Lucille Melrose, but he broke the engagement and married my mistress in stead. Miss Melrose was as pooras Job's turkey Misa Herndon was an heiress, and Doctor Spencer was deeply in debt, and very hard pressed by his creditors. Do you see anything singular in that?" "Perhaps. Go on." "When my mistress married Spencer she was only seventeen, and she had been taught to obey her father in everything. She was a gentle, affectionate child, and it would have been easy for Spencer to have won her love. But he did not care for that. It was her money that he wanted. It paid his debts and bought him fast horses it set his table with nice, costly dishes, and put it in his power to keep Miss Melrose robed like a queen. And all this time my mistress has been slowly but surely sinking. And look you, Dr. Lockwood, I believe that she is not dying of disease, but of—" here she lowered her voice to a whisper as she spoke the word—"poison!" "Impossible 1 This is a grave charge." "Of poison given her by her husband, who on her death will have sole control of her property and be free to marry Miss Melrose. There is no time to explain to you in detail the thousand and one circemstances which have led me to the belief, for we are almost at the door. It is never the case that Miss Melrose and Dr. Spencer are out at the same time, or I should have called another physician before but to night they are called away by the death of Miss Melrose's sister, and will not be back till to-morrow. With the consent of my mistress, I came for you, and oh! Dr. Lockwood, I pray you, save my dear mistress."
Mrs. Spencer received me in her bedchamber. It was on the second Boor, and was furnished with exquisite elegance. Everything in the room bespoke the taste and delicacy of the occupant. The warm air was fragrant with the faint odor of heliotrope, and glancing round I saw the purple blossoms and green leaves in an alabaster case on the ledge of the south window.
She was a woman who, fthenonce seen, could never be forgotten. I have met in my life many beautiful women, but never one so lovely.
She was tall and slight, with a pnrely oval face, liquid brown eyes, and a dash of hectic in "her cheeks, which is never seen in perfect health.
As for myself, I laid aside all false delicacy, and questioned her plainly as to her symptoms. Mrs. Hurd, her nurse, remained in the room, and added many little important items of information.
When she spoke of her hnsband itwas with a sort of hopeless sadness which distressed me greatly. Not a breath of suspicion against him in her answers to my questions, and I felt sure that at present she knew nothing of what Mrs. Hurd had such serious apprehensions. I was glad that it was so, for, with her finely
strung organization, it might have produced serious results. I made my examination of the patieut as closely as I could, and drew on my conclusions. I could have sworn that Sirs Spencer daily swallowed arsenic in small quantities,-and the deadly drug was telling fearfully on a constitution never robust.
She said, answering my questsons, that she had no physician except her husband. He had thought Jtiimself better acquainted with her case, and therefore better qualified to treat it. He never left medicine with her to take he always brought it fresh from his office, and administered it promptly.
A charge, of course, I could not make against Dr. Spencer without the amplest proof. If I hinted a suspicion, every one would at onee set it down to my professional prejudice and, if I could not substantiate my statement, the doctor could make me pay dearly for such a slander uttered against him.
The only dependence seemed to be in Mrs. Hurd. To her I unbosomed myself freely. I told her without reserve that I believed Dr. Spencer was killing his wife by slow poison, and besought her to be constantly on the watch to save the victim, and to discover some proof by which we could fasten the guilt upon him.
She smiled gladly and promised obedience. I gave her a powerful antidote for the poison I suspected, and went home purturbed and anxious in mind. I did not sleep that night, and all the next day I was in a high fever of excitement.
Dr. Spencer returned home the morning after my visit to Clifton House. He looked wretchedly, the nurse said—appeared depressed and gloomy. Miss Melrose came with him, and was decorously sad over the death of her sister. Women of her stamp always do mourn to perfection. They neither overdo nor underdo the thing, as women of feeling are likely to do.
Dr. Spencer came at once to his wife chamber. He thought she looked ill, andjprescribed a cordial at once, saying that he would go and fetch it. "You are always ordering cordials for her," said Mrs. Hurd, musingly. "Why not take something yourself. You look like a ghost."
He eyed her very keenly, but replied composedly: "I think I will take some of the cordial myself, for I do not feel quite well. Alicia, dear, shall I bring it here and drink your health?"
Mrs. Spencor smiled sadly in assent— she never disputed her husband—and he went out. Presently he returned with two glasses. Both contained liquid, colorless and inodorous. Mrs. Hurd was watching him with her heart in her throat, for, she told me, she felt that the decisive moment had come. There was something in the gray pallor in the doctor's rigid face that told her of a desperate purpose in the man's soul.
He lifted the glass on the riprht of the tray and gave it to his wife. "Drink it dear," he said, "ic is a panacea for all ills. I also am going to take a glass of it!" And he pointed te the other glass on the tray.
Mrs. Spencer accepted it and was putting it to her lips, when Mrs. Hurd interrupted: "If you will bring her a tumbler of water, Doctor Mrs. Spencer complains that the cordial leaves a bad taste in her mouth, and my old bones are so full of rheumatism that it nearly kills me to go down stairs.
The doctor turned and bent on her a look as if he would read her through. But she kepi her face passive. If he had any suspicions, her manner quieted them, and, putting down the glass, he left the room. Then Mrs. Hurd changed the position of the glasses.
When he came back—and he was gone but a moment—the nurse stood just exactly where he had left her, and Mrs. Spencer was lying back in her chair with her eye3 closed.
Again he lifted the glas3—this time it was the one intended for himself—and placed it to the lips of his wife. She drank the contents, swallowed a little of the water he had brought her, and thanked him in her sad, sweet way. "Now for my own cordial," said he, with affected gayety. "I indulge myself in something a little stronger and as he spoke he tossed off the mixture. "It made me stone cold to my fingers' ends to see him do it," said Mrs. Hurd, relating the circumstance to me "but as Heaven is my witness, I felt not a single twinge of conscience. I argued like this: If it was a simple cordal as he had said, it would do him no harm. If it was poison, his blood would be upon his own sinful head!"
He went to bed half on hour afterward, complaining of fatigue. In the morning they found him dead!
I was called to the post-mortem examination, and we discovered in the stomach of the deceased a suffioient quantity of the deadliest poison known to modern science to kill half a dozen men.
My brother physicians agreed that the man was insane, and had probably taken the dose in one of his unsettled fits of mind. I did not dispute them, but even before Mrs. Hurd told her story I had my own theory in regard to his death.
There was no public exposure, however, Mrs- Hurd and I agreed that it would profit no one to make the wretched affair public, and so we kept our own council.
Miss Melrose, in spite of my conviction that she had been an active party in the conspiracy against Mrs. Spencer's life, I could not help pitying. Such a miserable, worn and haggard face as hers I have never seen and when they buried Dr. Spencer, she was confined to her chamber with brain fever.
I attended her in her illness, but al though she recovered her health, she never was herself again. She was harmless maniac, whose delight? was in gathering flowers and decorating the Doctor's grave with them.
Shb is living still, and she still gathers flowers and lays them on that grave, singing to herself meanwhile a sort of low incantation, which no one pretends to understand.
Not until Mrs. Spencer had been many days my wife, and the faithful Mrs. Hurd slept under the violets, did Alice ever know the perfidy of her former husband
COLFAX.
From the Ind. CommerciaH No man of late years has had such occasion to pray for deliverance from his foolish frinds as Vice President Colfax. A private note written during the despondency of a sudden and apparently permanent disease, announcing his intention to retire from public life in order to recruit his exhausted energies, when he supposed that recuperation would be the work of years, was inconsiderately given to the world by the recipient to minister to his own vanity and love of notoriety. A few month's rest and recrea^ tion showed that the illness was but one of those temporrry admonitions of nature against too protracted effort and for months Mr. Colfaxjhas been the picture of health, and evidently able to meet all the requirements of any position he might be placed in.
Then there came a general demand that he recall the intention to retire from public life and continue in harness with President Grant. The Republican party did not want to swap horses, or a single horse of the span. Although he had discovered that the chances of business life were more promising of pecuniary reward, he would have been cEurlish to refuse a request so generally put, and he gracefully accepted the situation, to the gratification of the country and the possi}le mortification of two or three persons who had hoped to take his place on the ticket and in the Senate Chamber.
Evidently the duly of his friends was to see that his support should be at least as general as that for the renomination of Grant and prevent the concentration
of any considerable opposition to his renomination. Of course the friends of other candidates would be expected to do what they could for their men, and the enemies of Mr. Colfax would make new combinations if they could.
A few days since a movement was inaugurated in Ohio to throw the vote of that State against Mr. Colfax, in order to benefit some other candidate, as it is evident that even the most rural Buckeyte editor is not simple enough to suppose that Governor Dennison could walk over ihe course ahead of Senator Wilson, or Speaker Blaine, if Mr. Colfax were out of the way and that such old and prudentpapers as the "Ohio State Journal," Cleveland "Herald," and Cincinnati "Commercial" had other objects in view'in nominating and pressing the claims of Mr. Dennison.
At this stage another of Colfax's friends, who attempts the role of a monitor, comes out strong for Mr. Colfax as the nominee for President, paying him th« dubious compliment of being the choice of "all Repubtican malcontents." This afforded the Cincinnati "Commercial" the opportunity it wanted to vent a little more spleen at Grant and help put Mr. Colfax in a position to forfeit the support of the country for Vice President. So the "Commercial," which had teemed for years with ribald paragraphs about the "Srniler," heartily seconded the proposition of the Mississinewa Monitor that President Grant gracefully withdraw from the position the people placed him in and wish him to keep another term, that Mr. Colfax may be the nominee and becomes a supporter of Colfax tor President, it being all the same to it whether such a movement affedls the chances of Grant,for the Presidency or destroys Colfax's chance for the Vice Presidency for it heartily hates both. Other papers influenced by similar motives will doubtless follow it up in its tactics of urging Colfax for the Presidency while bringing out some one else for the Vice Presidency. So this simpleton on the Mississinewa who thought he was preparing clay for a statue to his chief, was only mixing very dirty muck which will be seized by his ene' mies to bedaub the chief.

THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
FOK 187S.
The consolidation of Italj, go long .frag mentary and impatent. Into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital the humiliation of Franca through a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her proud, metropolis the expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substitution for them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Sax•ny. Wurtemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, ke., under tho headship of Prussia, into the triumphant^ and powerful empire of Germany and tho arming of Russia to reassort her preponderance in the conncils of Europe, or to prosecuto her often postponed bnt never relinquished designs on the great city founded by Constantino, and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of the Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the ever-changing phases 01 our tidings from the Old World. THB TEIBUN*, through trusted correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged etruggle between middle-age Feudalism and
Ecclesiasticism on the one hand and Nineteen th-Centnry skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognising a Divine Providence in all that proeeeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own rocent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind.
In our own country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the government of our State has boen revolutionised through an initial trinmph of Reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to any locality or any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking veniality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in these worthiest and fittest to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Reform, TSE TRIBUNE will devoto its best energies, regardless of personal intciests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of all Net? Departures the most essential and auspioious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of Color has dirested our current politics of half their bygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as practically aceepted by the whole country. The right of every man to his own limbs.and sine ws—the equality of all citizens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its people—tho duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty until ho forfeits itby crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National edifico and palsied be the hand which shall seek to displace them I Though not yet twenty years old, the Republican party has completed the noble fabric of Emaneipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of Qod.
Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one of Peaceful Progress, To protect tho weak and tho humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse tho blessings of Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance tho gains of Industry by redncing the cost of transportation and exchanges between farmers and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the progress, enlightenment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work. THIS TEIBUSB contributes its zealous, persist efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more especially elucidated in its Weekly and SemiWeekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will steadily contribute. No farmer who sells $3C0 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford t» do without such a journal as THS TRIBOHK. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronago enables u* to do and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872. Friends in every State! help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing your Clnbs for the year net before us 1
