IT is all right for the Republican# to use soldiers and supervisors to control elections, but a few policemen, if they happen to be Democrats, must keep away from the polls entirely.

A "CITIZEN" says that "the men who pay the taxes are the men now most earnestly at work for the citizens' ticket. Suppose you look over the delinquent tax list, and see if some of the "citizens' are not as careless about paying their taxes as others are their house rent.

WHKNEVIIR the opposition to the Democratic party gets in a minority they change their name and try some other, so as to appear all right before the people. Hence the great movement of the "Citizens' Ticket*" The dodge is too glaring for stalwart Republicans to swallow. No Democrat will bo carried away by such a subterfuge.

THE Democratic party proscribes no man on account of his religious faith or belief. Nay more the Democratic party has always defended him in the enjoyment of his own religious views. The theory of our government is to know no creed or religion but to protect all alike in the enjoyment of their religious convictions. In harmony with this principle of tree government, the Democratic party never has been proscriptive or intolerant, and consequently has been the great conservator of religious freedom in this country.

NIHILISM in Russia is a protest on the part of the people against the tyranny and oppression of rulers who know no restraining law but their own caprice. Daily tasting the bitter fruit of such miserable misgovernment, anJ conceiving, because they have not known what it is to be governed by liberal law6, that the ills which they suffer are an incident of all organized society, they have come to regard nihilism,—the overthrow of alf government as an end promising a blessed relief from unendurable evils. With a view of silencing the murmurs of the people against the wrongs he has perpetrated, t'nejCzar has exceeded all his former efforts in the direction of tyranny and made a prison of his empire. What the result of his present efforts will be it is not difficult to determine. Rather than stand the indignities he heaps upon them all, rather than continue to suffer the hardship?, and obloquy, and false imprisonments, and suspicion, and endless turmoil and trouble to which he subjects them, the people will rise open revolt. Once such a course is begun the scenes of the French revolution will be more than re-enacted and another dynasty will expiate in their blood the wrongs ol an outraged people.

An illustration of the condition of afairs in St. Petersburg is contained in the following dispatch reproduced from ves'erdaysGAzETTR. It is dated St. Petersburg, and reads as follows: "The police are openly arresting people by batches at all hours of the day heretofore the arrests were made at night. On the slightest suspicion against any person his whole family are arrested and domiciliary visits are paid to all their acquaintance these leading to further apprehensions on the most frivilious grounds. Furnished lodging keepers are in prison for not reporting within^twentyfour hours the latest arrivals.

Jakoveloff, a government official living in the winter palace and his son, an officer in the guards, are among the persons in custody, Baron Bistrom, deputy commander of the St. Petersburg garrison and General Gildenstaube, commandant of Moscow, have been suspended for insufficient enthusiasm towards the new order of things. There are few pedestrians or carriages in the streets but an endless line of porters are seated on stools at every door with stout sticks. Covered prison vans frequently pass with a police officer mounted beside the driver, and General Gourko drives round in an open drosky escorted by Cossacks, cracking their whips. The inhabitants are not accomplices of the Nihilists, but apothetic spectators." I

HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS*

A (Second Party Sent to the West.

Thirty-Eight Destitute Boys and a Family of Seven Poor Persons Started Yesterday.

From the New York Tribune. In a special car attached to the express train for the West which left the Erie Railway Station at Jersey City last evening, were thirty-eight destitute boys and a family consisting of seven persons, who were going to seek work ana homes and a brighter future than they could hope for here. Thev were accompanied by Mr. James Brace, an agent of the Children's Aid Society, but the expenses of their removal were defrayed by Mr. Whitelaw Reid from funds which had been placed in his hands by charitable gentlemen, to expend as he thought be6t in relieving the wants of the suffering in New-York, with the simple requirement that what he did be reported in detail in The Tribune. The boys who made up the party yesterday are more than usually intelligent and thoughtful.

SEEKING A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

WESTERN HOMES PROVIDED FOR ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE DESTITUTE PERSONS—FORTY FIVE

EMIGRANTS SENT YESTERDAY—SCENES AT STARTING. During the last days of Lent a gentleman personally unknown to Mr. Reid called upon him to express his gratification with the accounts that had been published of the use made of the money left bv the ttranger from the inteiior of New England, and to ask if Mr. Reid would take charge of a similar contribution from him, give personal attention to its disposal, and subsequently report the results in the Tribune. He explained that, although in cjuite moderate circumstances, the past year had been an unusually prosperous one with him, and that as he and his wife were both earnest Episcopalians, they felt this year like making in a quiet way an Easter offering. He added that he could not afford to be known as making such gifts, and desired that his name might be kept secret.

Out of the $1,000 left with Mr. Reid some time a£o bv a stranger from the interior of New England 34 boys were sent to homes in Kansas last month, and six families, numbering, children and all, 42 persons, were also sent to homes in the West where they could support themselves. In all 76 were sent out of this fund. There still remained a balance, which it was finally decided to apply in the same way. It was therefore used to provide for the first twenty of the present party. All of the others excepting one were provided for out of the second fund named above. This one, George D. Kent, was sent on account of a contribution of $18 sent to Mr. Reid for this purpose by a merchant doing business in Pearl street. Out of the funds remaining in Mr. Reid's hands it is probable that another large party will soon be sent to some other point at the West. Including those sentyester» day, there have already been 121 persons transferred from homes of wretchedness or from homeless wandering of the New York streets to homes and plenty on farms in the extreme West and from those first sent, none but encouraging accounts have as yet been received.

SCENES BEFORE STARTING. To one entering the office of the Chrildren's Aid Society, in Fourth street yesterday, at any hour from 10 A. M.loS P. M., an interesting spectacle would have been presented. About forty boys, ranging in age from eleven to nineteen, were seate ion the benches in the outer room, with a look of expectancy on their contenances, which was not entirely clouded by the evident expression of sorrow which many wore at parting from old associations, and in cases from loving friends. The boys were about to start for the West, and had been gathered from the lodginghouses and the industrial scholia under the charge of the Children's Aid Society, or had been recommended by friend of kindred associations. The party was made up, a6 a whole, of more mature and more thoughtful boys than those, whose departure# was recorded in the Tribune last month, and a smaller proportion had experienced extreme poverty for any considerable period some came to the office in comfortable and respectable clothing provided by a hard working lather or mother or kind-hearted friends. There were few, however, who had not become personally familiar with the struggle of life, and had not learned from experience haw dismal was the prospect which lay before them in this over crowded city.

From conversations with each boy separately, it was evident beyond the possibility of doubt tha* the important step they were about to take was the result of reflection and a more or less thoughtful study of the opportunities which would be afforded them in the West for the better developement of their manhood.

A few were accompanied to the office by friends by the side of two little fellows were loving mothers, keeping in check the starting tears as they talked hopefully to their sons of future meetings, and perhaps of a home together vthen it should be purchased by hard and honest labor. But for most of the number there were no affectionate parting words they had no relative, or such as they had were at a distance. One of the most active and buoyant of the young adventurers was a little French boy, who had been landed in the city only a short time ago, and to whom not a single face on this whole continent wore a familiar appearance. Though no one understood what he saidr and he could not comprehend anything said to him, he was incessantly running about among the boys, making friends with each, and chattering as freely as though surrounded by people from his own land.

About noon the door was flung open, and a little colored boy came in with hi# boot-blacking kit in his hand. This he

placed in the middle oi *he floor, and exclaimed, simply, "I want to eo out West, too." He was told that he could not until his case had been inquired into but not discouraged, he went out, sold the tools of his trade for a few pennies, and returned, expecting to be taken. He was permitted to wait about until the bojs started off, when he wept bitterly. He was sent to the Eleventh Ward Lodging House and if upon investigation he is found worthy of aid, he wiil be sent out with the next party. The boys who were not comfortably and neatly clad were taken down stairs, in companies of two and three, and were provided with complete suits of serviceable clothing in which to enter upon their new life.

PARTING WORDS TO THE BOYS. Soon after 2 p. M. Mr. Whitelaw Reid visited the office, was introduced by Mr. Charles L. Brace, secretary of the Children's Aid Society, and gave the boys some parting advice, saying that the gentlemen to whose gifts they were indebted for the opportunity of leaving New York for Western homes woulJ watch their future course with interest, would have the name and address of each, would get reports about them, and would feel amply repaid if they were always 6aid to be doing well. The boys replied with three cheers. At half-past 2 many of the party started for Chambers Street Ferry, and half an hour later the rest followed. On the ferry-boat and in the passenger waiting-room in Jersey City the conduct of the boys was every way creditable an equal number of pupils from the best private schools could not have been more orderly. At the station they attracted much attention from passengers passing through, the publications in the Tribune having made many persons acquainted with the purpose "for which they were there. A gentleman handed one of the officers of th* society who was present a small sum of money," asking him to "give tbe boys a treat before they started." An abundant supply of oranges was handed round, and the boys were happy. At 5:45 the party was embarked in a special car, with provisions to la«f. until this evening, and a supply of tin cups, from which they will drink the coffee which will be purchased on the journey. Soon after 6 o'clock the train moved out, and they were started toward their new life.

HOW THEY WILL BE RECEIVED. The party will be taken to Parsons, Kansas, about s'xty miles from Fort Scott, the destination of the last party. A committee of citizens will receive them on Frida}. and farmers and others, who have been informed that they are com ing, will be there to select such as they wish to take into their fsmilies. Mr. Brace b?lieves that all will be provided with comfortable homes before Saturday night. In each place to which boys are taken the local committees assumed responsibility for the welfare of the boys committed to them, and in cases where difficulty of any .sort arises between emplover and employed which renders the latter unhappy in his home, he is removed and is provided with another place. Communication is kept up also with the officers of the Children's Aid Society in New York, and those who are sent out by them never get beyond their care and influence.

EDWIN BOOTH'S ASSAILANT.

HIS FBIEVDS MAKING OUT A CLEAR CASE OF INSANITY TO EXCUSE

YOUNG LYONS.

AH A17XT OF THE YOCNO 9IAK TH1XK.8 HE THOUGHT BOOTH WAS III FATHeB AI*D

HAD VESCBTKD HIS JIOrHEB.

Frozn the New York World.

A Keokuk despatch tp the Chicago Times says that ti»e real name of the youne man who attempted to shoot Edwin Booth is Mark Lyons. His stepfather is Patrick Gray, who is a common laborer, and the young man is generally known as Mark Gray. "Inquiry among the young man's friends, says the correspondent, leaves no room to doubt that he is insane. Evidences of his mental weakness have been observed for the past three years. He was a monomaniac on the subject of the drama, and his great ambition was to be an actor. He had a habit of locking himself up in his room and reading and reciting plays by the hour. Upon entering the room afterwards the family would find the chairs arranged about him in a semicircle to accomodate an imaginary audience. He had a weakners for poetry and quoted it freely upon all occasions. He also undertook to compose verses, but his productions were not of a very high order. Another habit he had was that of walking the railroad track with hat in hand talking and laughing to himself and gesticulating in a dramatic manner but this habit was broken up under threat of arresting him if he persisted in it. He had a passion for sensational literature tound in police and other Journals of the day, and attended all of the theatrical entertainments that were given in the city. He talked a great deal about joining a troupe and told his friends when he left tor St. Louis that he wasi going to be a clerk in a dry-goods store in the day time and play 1 a theatre at night. He never had any friends connected with a theatrical company, and no one here knows anything about Booth ever hav ing injured a friend of his. This grievance is regarded as purely imaginary. He was considered perfectly harmless, and the only time his insanity ever assumed anything like a violent form was when he threatened to hurt his mother if she refused to vacate the room for him when he wished to occupy it for dramatic rehearsals. "Mark is twenty-four years of age and, except at intervals when he has been in St. Louis, has lived here for the past ten years. In October Ia6t he resigned his place with the house where he had been employed for five years and went to St. Louis, where he found employment in the house of Scruggs,

Vandervoort & Barney, where he held a very responsible position. "Frank Loftis, who was employed at Younker Brothers' during two years of the time when Mark was there, says he showed unmistakoble signs of insanity on the subject of the stage. He imagined that he looked like Edwin Booth, that he was equal to him as an actor and used to ask Loftis and others if he should go out West and advertise himself as Booth if they thought the people would know any better. Mark was very exclusive and had but few friends or associates among the young men or women. When not engaged he would seek seclusion and re hear

Be tragedy or read poetry. About three years ago, while handling a revolver one Sunday afternoon, he shot himself in the head, inflicting a scalp wound about two inches long. He claimed the shot to have been accidental, but there are some who think he contemplated suicide. His insanity has been more marked since that time."

The mother of young Lyons said that her son was evidently insane a6 Mr. Booth never injured any of his friends. He had a mania for the stage which was aggravated by hard drink. She was sure her son had never 6een Booth until he went to St. Louis. She was very much troubled and wept during the interview with the correspondent. Mr. Samuel Younker who had employed Lyons aid that he was always faithful and hom*t lie talked much to his companion* ol going 011 the Ktrt^e and would ask the otner clei ks if he could not go West and pretend to be Booth or Bu' rett, and succeed as an ac:oi\ He told his iellowclerks once or twice that they would hear from him, and that he wouU be a great man before he died. Mr. Younker atti ibuted his mental weakness to a wound he received in his head some three or four years ago.

The correspondent of the Chicago Times in St. Louis saw at the store of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, where Lvons was employed, the man that stood next to Lyons at the ribbon counter of which the latter had charge. This man said he had never notcied anything peculiar in Gray's conduct. He was very attentive to business, was regular in his habits and was popular a ith his fellow salesmen. He was bice young fellow, and everybody liked him. He used to drink some about five years ago, but had not drank for two or three years. He had no idea of going to Chicago on Saturday, but on Monday he came into the store and said that he was going. This man further said that Lyons was stage-struck and was studying Hamlet He told his fellow-clerks that he was coming out as a star himself some day. He had never said that he had seen or knew Booth, but he was a great admirer of Barrett, and thought that' Charles Barrett was the greatest actor he had ever seen., &

The correspondent in St. Louis also called on Mrs. Buren, an aunt of Lyons. She said: "Mark came here on Monday and told me that he was going to Chicago. I said: 'Mark, you'd better not go there it is a very bad city.' Mark said: •Well, then, I am going home.' I never noticed anything strange in his conduct until he came back to St. Louis the last time, and he came over here one day and while we were talking he said that his

father

was not dead that he had seen him in Keokuk, and had eaten at the tawl besameth him. I said:'Mark, that

is not so your father died on the 3d of November, 1853} and I saw him buried.' Then he said he knew he was alive, and that he would get even with him. Then one day he said that he had over thirty aunts and first cousins who were star actresses. I told him that he was plumb crazy, for he has no relatives except what are in St. Louis and Keokuk, and none of them were ever actors or actresses. His brother Tommy said that he used to have crazy spells up in Keokuk. His real name was not Mark Gray it was Mark Lyons. His father's name was Mark Lyons and he was a contractor on the Pacific Railroad. His mother and I are first cousins. We think that Mark thinks that Edwin Booth is his father, and that he wanted to kill him out of revenge because he deserted hi* mother. They say he looks like Edwin Booth. He has no other relatives in this city, except an aunt named Mrs. Flanery, who resides on Gratiot street, but she hasn't been in this country long and don't know much about him. He was here three or four times on Monday and he acted very strangely. I heard that on Sunday some one saw him sitting on his bed with his looking-glass in front of him, and he was acting very queerlv."

AMERICA'S NEXT WORLD'S FAIR.

SOME BINTS FROM COLONEL PEYTON' THE ORIGINATOR OF THE PROJECT. From the New York World.

Colonel J. E. Peyton, of Kentucky who, through the columns of The World on October 16, 1878, began a movement which resulted in the organization of the, committee whose object is to celebrate the centennial of Washington's inauguration as President, called at The World office last evening to make some further suggestiens with regard to his project. "The matter is dragging a litt'e," said he. "The troubb is that there is too much talk about a site for this grand World's Fair. Now they've got plenty of time to find a site. Let them take the best one they can get. The point is this. You want to get representative men in all parts of the Union interested directly in the matter to come to this city. A sugar-producer from Louisiana, a cotton grower from Mississippi, a rice grower from South Carolina, a tabaccogrower from North Carolina, a lumber merchant from Michigan, a wheat grower from Minnesota, a miner from the Pacific coast, a 6tock raiser from Kentucky and from some point in the Great West. Invite these men to come to New York and consult the committee with regard to the matter. They will do it readily at their own expense, and you can do more with the Southern States now than you could do in 1

S 6, for then the South was full of carpet -baggers. After these men come here they could be taken around and shown the proposed sites and asked for their opinion on them. This one thing would make them feel themselves apart of the movement." "Do you think the project for the fair will amount to anything?"' "Decidedly, I do. Notice this issue of millions of bonds made bv John Sherman about which there has been so much talk. Do you suppose John Sherman is entitled to the credit of that scheme? No, sir it was the confidence of the world in our resources after witnessing the Centennial Exhibition. And yet that exhibition was not thoroughly successful. One-third of the interest of the country—the cattle interest—was not fairly represented there.' "Then you still feel confident?" "Well, I feel a good deal like an ant trying to roll a dead elephant up a hill but I don't mind that so long as the elephant gets up somehow." 'Do you suppose the project wiil be assisted by state and national appropriations?"

Well, there's one man ofl the committee who says that the State won't do anything and that the National Government won't do anything. But if that man had been standing beside the Lord at creation and the Lord had said to him, 'I'm going to make a world,' he would have answered, 'You can't do it. You haven't got anything to make it out of.' And if the Lord at the end of six days had handed him the world, all finished, he would have seen the entrance to the Mammoth Cave the first thing and cried out, 'Why, there's a hole in it anybody could make a world with a hole in it. No, sir," continued the Colonel "I believe in the World's Fair with or witheut an appropriation. Hold your, fair in New York—a great seaboard town Aiiich is eaM of access to all the wot id.

The people will conic here and become acquainted with our country, and tuen Hi try will be able to fmd their way to the next World's Fair, winch should be between Chicago and St. Louis."
