The Chronicle will be issued from this
time, until the next week after the Presi.
Dental election. for the sum of fifty cents,
payable in advance. Our object in thus
ogering to furnish the Chronicle for q pc
ried of nearly six months for so small a
SUN, is two-fold: first. that somc who have
not heretofore subscribed. may be induced
to DO so now and we think that after they
have once had their County paper, they
will SO appreciate its value, they will con-
tinue to take it; and second, VIC wish to
contribute our mite to spread the Repub-
Gcan principles, whether by SO doing. We
will benefit ourselves pecuniarily, or not.
The Campaign which has just commenc-
ed, will, beyond all question, be the most
interesting and exciting of any presidential
contest since that of IS4O. The moment
Gus questions at issue, the firm dctermina-
ton to battle for the right which animatcs
the masses of the Republicans, and the
death grasp with which the slave power
holds the power and patronage of the fed
eral government will test the strength OF
each party to the utmost. -.

Brutal murder IN Hudson

Upon Saturday evening last, a brutal
murder was committed in Hudson. Summit
county, by an Irishman named John Mclo-
ncv. His victim-lnother i~rishman-was
named Michael Stapletcn.
The ARRAY occurred upon the street in
front ofthe residence of Prcst. Pierce. The
crime was committed with a club. Staple
toms head was completely crushed by the
savage blow, and death was the ~instanta-
ncOus result.
Meloncy is an employee of the c. & T.
Il. r., and lived at Macedonia. Some lit.
tie time since. he was arrested and obliged
to marry a young woman whom he had be-
trayed. To Stapleton was attributed the
cause of his arrest, and Meloney had sworn
to have revenge. He came to Hudson up
on Saturday, knowing that Staplcton-who
is an employee on the Cleveland and Ma
honing Il. r. would be there. The two
met. talled over their trouble, and settled
the matter apparently. shaking hands. &c.
At the time the murder was committed
the men were in company with one or two
other men and q couple of women. Melo-
ney, as is related to us, without provoca-
ton at the time. struck Stapleton on the
back Of the head with a club, giving a blow
made powerful by q desire for vengeance.
The murderer was promptly arrested.
and II of the men of the party was held
for examination. The examination took
place upon Monday before a Justice in Hud-
son. IL. Mckinney. prosecuting attorney
of Summit county, appeared for the State,
and L. V. Bierce for the prisoner.
The examination resulted in the commit
tai of Melony for trial. He is in Jail in
Akron.
A correspondent Of the Cleveland Her
aid of Monday evening gives this account
of the committal Of the deed. About 10
o'clock p. IN. Stapleton and another Irish
man were with two girls near the house of
President Pierce, where one of the girls
lived. when Mallory came up behind them,
an saying-.You are here arc your
struck Stapleton with a heavy stick of
wood and fclled him to the ground. The
other man ran. and Mallory struck him
again. The girls fought him off three times,
but he inflicted two more blows. either Of
the four being enough to kill Lim.-P1rt.

HORRIBLE ACCIDEyT-The Corneaut-

which occurred at Spring. on the 30th inst.
\ young lady named SUSAN G. Tucker

corners in an open buggy with a spirited colt.
On The way they stopped for a few min
utes at the residence of their uncle, on start

from the buggy to stop the colt and hsten
the line, but in doing so stumbled, width
scared the colt, and it whirled about and
ran towards home. After going q short
distance it kicked the dashboard in, when
Susan thought it best to jump out, in at
tempting which her cloths caughte in the
seat, and she was prccipitated head fore
most between the wheels, where she was
held fast, and thus with hes head on the
ground she was dragged nearly half a mile
before the colt was stopped. When taken
out was completely dead: one of her arms
broken in several places, one ear was cut
off, her head WAS badly cut and mangled,
and her body bore various marks Of injury

Adjournment of CONGRESS-.

Congress adjourned on Monday, after a
session of almost seven months The first
two were occupied in fighting over the cleo
ton of a Speaker, and in listening 70 long,
windy, higafalutin speeches, from south
ern Democrats, Of which the staples We're
John Brown, disunion. and Helpers book.
At last the struggle was ended bythc cleo
ton of a Republican Speaker, and the
House was organized. Of the doines of
this Congress little more can be said than
that a very important part of the bills
passed by the House, bills which a large
majority of the voters of the nation favored,
were either strangled by the Democratic
Senate, or vetoed by the President. The
Homestead Bill, so favorable to the inter
ess of the growing west and to laboring
men. who desire a home for themselves and
families the bill so ably advocated by our
Senator, Mr.. Nale-after it passed the
House, was changed and its utility greatly
lessened by the Senate, but still passed
that body in its mutilated state, and was
finally killed by the veto of the old fossil
who occupies the Presidential Chair.
The Bill for the admission of Kansas
with a Constitution prohibiting slavery,
was also passed by the House after a long
and fierce debate. only to be defeated by
the Senate.
The Tariff Dil, so loudly demanded by
the industrial interests of the country, and
made still more necessary by our empty
National Treasury, made bankrupt by a
dishonest and extravagant administration,
was passed by the House, and laid on the
table in the Senate. The River and Har-
Dor bill, Pacific Rail Road bill, bills organ
azinS the new Territories of the West,
were defeated by the Democracy and the
slave power.
Some things this Congress have done for
which they deserve honor, such as ferret
ting out the ~corruptions of the administra-
tion by means of the ~appointm cnt Of the
Coyode Committee, and the defeat of the at
tempt to force the country into a war with
Spain for the. acquisition of Cuba.
