installed themselves they could sweep J

in political economy, in a light, skin-deep,!
Pariaian fashion. Tirod out with the
jiight'a anxieties, the morning's labors,j
Choqaard and the PoJe soon fell asleep. I
They were awakened violently, in two J
or three hoiu*, by Eugene shaking thera j
by the ebouldere, and forcing apy-glasses t
into their hands.
"Look! Awake! On foot, my boyai"
Choquard scanned the prospect.

the adjoining houses; a sheet of name lit!
up the street. The barricade bad tired the j

The red-trousered lineemcn advanced :

The ground shook, and cavalry turned
round the corner of the boulovard, and
advanced like a whirlwind.

euid ChoqiHtrd, who had just returned
frora an excursion into a cro?s street.
The cavalry halted, desnite tho volleys
with which it was assailed. An officer ad

Then, as the artillery openod fire, orer

oried lustily, "The red-trousers are at the I
Kill's!" 1
It wa8 true. The linesmen lsod crept
under the cover of the artillery. Hnd were i
pouring in upon the rebel:) at each ex
tremity of the barricade.
For ten minutes, a wild, fmntic battle
raped, hand to hand, wkhout quarter,
while paving-stones aud men toppled, in
inextricable ponfusion, into the swaying

And he drew a letter from his breRst I ?
He had received it r day ago, and for j
twenty-four hours his heart had beat rap- j
turously. His blood felt warmer within | j
his veins, and there had been a rosy haze j -
before his eyes that made the world seem j
one Eden garden awaiting' an Eve. For j c

Then, in a moment, "Here, Lefsvre, you

And plunging1 bolh spurs deep into Ma

Choquard's men fired at him as he
roared them. Ii? bent low over the ead

But the second barricade had by this

He wheeled round, desperate, ami paw

Tiie door had yielded, when a clatter
of hoo?s was heard, and Lieutenant Le- |

the street at full earner.
The subaltern threw himself from his

three forced FraDcisque away from the

the horee away at a gallop.
All through that evil night of fire, and
bk>od, and ruin, a deep tumbril, hooded
like a deud-oart, passed from insurgent

continually by pickets of both parties, out
making slow way towardb one of the eu

He had sought her ere the fire had

runken, triumphant soldiery, and felt
that if he did not ]>ut asido his own am

her, she, who had been as tho adopted
daughter of the Communist, Marcus, was
doomed. So, adopting himself tho red
cross of Geneva, and giving1 her the long
black gown of a sister of mercy, ho had
begun their ghastly pilgrimage through
the distracted city.

The patrol was riding' towards them.
Marcus halted.
"Thfere has been fighting horc," he whis

The soldiers looked on Indifferently
while search was made among the heaps

as a more expeditious instrument of exa

"Here, here!" jjroaned a voice.
"Hush:" eaid Marcus. Then, to Reine,
i "iluke no sign, it is om< of our men*"
They dragged a mangled form from

"Take care} I think both shoulder* m<j

Koine held the lantern to his faco,
"Mervale!" she whispered.
"Silence, if you would save him!" said
i Marcus,
And then, whispering in the En^lish
I rutin's ear, he added, "Don't apeak, don't

They earned him, dead to all appear

A hashed murmur of admiration passed

The St. Louis Convention.
The Republican have made their
lominalions and the same duty de
volves upon I he Democrats who meet
hi Tuesday next, the 27th inst., at St. j
[>ou is.
We suppose that all matters of dif-.
iVioncw between sections of the party'
ivill be ignored, and the Convention j
kvill address itself to the single object |
if selecting a candidate who can ex-j
liibit the greatest popular strength and |
[ resent the best chances for successful'
leadership. j
All U1C llUUl'UllOIlP JH'IIU ill jncacuip
;o the nomination of Tilden, as, the^
most available man. The only objec
tion so far urged to bis nomination j
nas beengthat his efforts for-reform
ind war reform "rings" have weaken-11
>d him at home. But this all seems j]
o be a mistake, and the secret of his| 1
strength seems to be in his character; r
>f reformer. The man who iu his;i
.anvass with Dix, could override the e
)j?liosition of rlugs, and turn over one;t
Hundred thousand votes to his party, >
s one who promises the best hopes of c
carrying New York; and New York 1
vith New Jersey and Connecticut are
mporlant to Democratic sucess. j I
Again Tilden is the best exponent of j t
eform, and upon that issue the battle-e
s to be fought if we hope for success.! J

Core prosperity to the country without J c

nan who has always had the politi-, <

L'liat he will be nominated at Sr. Lou- \ c

ITS CJIANCK KOK LIFE. 'I
IVith Tilden it goes to the country }
villi the one issue, on which we have j i

s dear to the American heart. With j c
I'ilden it quits the issues growing out't

iome close fo the tax-paj'ing classes, 1
liust go to the wall, whilst, we, poor \
ools of prejudice and destiny, are 'J
dotted out iu one flabby mass of blur- a
ed rhetoric and legislation. I refuse toi1
telieve that this fate is in store lbr.c
fithcr section of the Union. I yet be- j c
ieve in the Republic, and, by conse-jc
[iieiice, in the saving ellicacy audit
:race of the Democratic party. We t
lave an oppoitunity to occupy the r
ield of reform alone?a rare opportu- t
lity?when reform is me cue 01 me
>eopIe aud the time. We have a life
ong Jetfersonian Democrat, who is
he embodiment of reform, the re pre
entative, par excellence, of honest
;overnment, a people's man, and the
iuly people's man in that part of the
lountry where we have a show.to car
y States, lie will take us away from
he past into the future. He will ob
iterate the lines on which we have
teen beating. It is not his chance but
iur chance; and M'e should be wild?
nad as only the god? make those who

hould let it slip. It is demonstrable
hut Tilden can be elected; aud that
ugbt to be enough if he were not ac-j

?le? the iuau raised up by fate i.nd
ircumstance either to lead the Deruo

xpiring moments with its lolly and

"he Republican Nominations at Cin
cinnati.
The nomination of Governor Rutli
rford 1J. Hayes, of Ohio, for the Pres
Jency, and of Win. A. Wheeler, of
few York, for the Vice-Presidency,
y the Cincinnati convention, seuma
i> be generally acceptable to the jour
als of tlio party, whilst the leading
apers of the country look upon
s likely to bring out the full party
trength, and as perhaps the strongest
election that could have been made.
Governor Hayes is a man of high
haracter but moderate ability, and
ins a fair record, both civil and tnili
ury, but has exhibited 110 special tai
nts or performed any -brilliant
ehievements. lie has been twice
lected to Congress and been three
iuies Governor of Ohio. His election 1
ast Fall over Governor Allen brought (
dm prominently before the public,
nd gave him his chief claim to na- E
ional recognition. He is a man of -
icgative character, and whilst he can- 1
lot expect to arouse the enthusiasm of 1
he party, he will likely harmonize its '
ealousies, and developed its. full u
trenglh. lie is expected to bear oil" j
he Ohio vote, and with it a strong *
ollowing in the other Western states. e
To secure the vote of New York, the 1
econd place on the ticket has been "
;iven to "Vm. A. Wheeler, of that 5
State, a prominent politician and now 1
nemberof Congress, in whieh he has 1
lud a long legislative experience, lie s
s known as the author of theWheel- c
tr Compromise" by which the Louis
ana troubles were set at rest. He is a 1
nan of good abilities and popular 1
iharacter, and though he cannot be 1
'uiiked with ilie ultra Jtauicai wingoi
lie party, lias generally supported
heir measures. His nomination is
>ne of the best that could have been N
nade. c
But though moderate men have t
jeen selected as the standard bearers r
>f the party in the coming canvass, |
lie battle is to be fought on sectional f
ssues, and we believe that :is much {
)itterness is to enter into the struggle c
is if Blaine or Morton had been "the .,
lominees. Jtead the following arti- j
:les of the platforni which whilst they ^
leprecate sectioual issues, Haunt them t
n the face of the country and rely on r
heir agitation as the beat means of (
iuccess: N
"Fifteenth?We sincerely deprecate f
ill sectional feeling and tendencies.
tVe therefore note with deep solicitude
hat the Democratic party counts as its
jhief hope of success upon the elee- r
oral vote of a united South, secured 11
hrough the efforts of those who were *
ccently arrayed against the nation, ?
ind we invoke the earnest attention I
>f the country to the grave truth that '
i success thus achieved would re-open ?
sectional strife and imperil the nation- <
il honor and human rights. i
Sixteenth?We charge the Demo- t
sratlc party as being the same in char- <
icterand spirit as when it sympathized <
.vi111 treason, and with 'making its
jontrol of the House of Representa
ives the triumph and opportunity of ]
he nation's recent foes; with reas- t
setting and applauding in the Ration- j
d Capitol the sentiment of unrepent- 1
int rebellion ; with deliberately pro- j
>osing to repudiate the plighted faith
if the Government; with beingequal
y false and imbecile upon the over
ihadowing financial question; with
hwarting the ends of justice by its
jartisan mismanagement and obstruc
ion of investigation; with proving
tself through its period of ascenden
:y in the lower house of Congress ut
erly incompetent to administer " the
Government. We warn the country
igainst trusting a party thus alike un
vorthv, recreant and incapable."
To this issue all other issues, the
surreney, the school question, reform
11 the administration are subordinate,
ind all the bitter strifes and augrv
inssions of the past are to be rovived.
if we are to be defeated as in the past,
t will be owing to that distrust ot the
>outh, and jealous of its supremacy
vhich it will take two Centennials
utirely to overcome.
For Tilden.
The Hon". W. D. Porter, of Charles
on, one of the delegates to the St.
jouis convention, has written a pub
ished letter to Gen. Brattonthe chair
nan of the South Carolina delegation,
n which he *t i4e*-Jrbat being uuable to
ittend, he gives}bi-4 c< lloaguis the ben
ifit or his counsel by advising them to
rote for Tilden, as the most available
:audidate. Among other arguments
ie uses the following:
New York is, in my opinion, the
)ivot upon which the election will
uun. Samuel J. Tilden is her Gov
srnor by a majority of 50,000 votes.
3e i8.'the representative man of New
fork, and holds her certificate of
:onfidencc and approval. He has re
leemed the pledges he gave at his
ilection. The Rings fall before him.
L'weed, of Tammany, has been con
igned to the penitentiary, and Lord,
)f the Canals, has just been convicted
?v a iurv of the country. He has
jreatly reduced the taxes of the State,
tnd thus conferred upon every proper
y holder in the State a personal and a
lomefelt benefit. If the people of
Sew York are not untrue to the cause
>f Reform, and not ungrateful to him
.vho has politically risked all and dar
d all for that cause, and has more
han any other man conferred upon
.hem the blessing of redemption from
>neof the vilest and most corrupt of
nisrules, reScueiug them from a hid
l.m and systemmatic spoliation that
Vds eating out their substance and un
arming their material and moral wel
'..iv, they will rally to the support of
I'ilden with an enshusiasm that will
tweep over their State like a tornado,
tnd elevate him toa still higher posi
ion whence he may deal out to the
>eople of the Union the same fruits of
jxperience, moral courage and wis
lom, the same benefits and blessings
>f honest government, wmcn ne nas
lestowed upon tlie peojjlo of liis .owia
state.
The Stewart )Vill Case*
The late Mr. Stewart's will is now
airly landed in the courts and it
>romises to give plenty of work to the
awyers for some time to come. The
)ersons claiming a share of the estate
tre determined to make a strong tight,
md a long one if necessary, and of
:oursc the lawyers will be willing
o lead them on. The main ground of
contest is that of undue influence. If
fudge Hilton had not come into pos
ession of fully half of the million
tire's property so quickly, taking a
>1.8 ne>s worth $24,000,000 for$1,000,000
n cash, the undue influence theory
vould lack a good deal ol the strength
ind plausibility it now has. But
jtewart was hardly in his grave when
Iilton stepped in his shoes, and the
L 4 " ' ??? o ftoi-tno rH Q
leirs who luiueu up owu KUVH...W,
vill make as much as possible of this.
Phat some, at least, of these persons
ire of Stewart blood is almost certain,
hough it is equally certain that most
>f those claiming relationship are
lownright impostors. Had the wid
?w rptained posssession of the proper
y the will would not have been con
ested, or if contested no encourage
nent would have been received from
he public by the contestants. Mr?.
Stewart makes a capitul answer* In the
aso. She says, not without a spice of
ai casm that she never heard of the
jetitioners during Mr. Stewart's life,
.'robably not. One never sees a grand
issembling of bu/zards unless there
ire bones to pick. Mrs. Stewart is
arniiig golden opinions by the use she
u tn.iL-incr of hor onnortunities to do
* "G |i
;ood with her husband's money, She
>romptly carried out his wish in the
natter of remembering his employees
ind distributed among them upward
if $300,000, and she has since made
lonations to several deserving ehari
ies, amounting in all to $47,500, and
uore are yet to be remembered.

"We say, then, to our Democratic

The Vagrant Act.
"We clip the following frnm oar
iciglibor of the LaurevsAUn Her
tld :
"This somewhat notorious Port Fer
;usou was arraigned before Justice
Vnisansel, a day or two since, not,
his time, for any thing lie had done,
>ut because lie would not do; hence be
