Equal and Exact Justice to AnSpeca Favors to Nome
Let tho People Elect.

Despairing Of success the two wings Of
the Democracy, and the Bell Everett pal
", are now engaged j the laudable en-
terprise Of devising schemes 10 prevent
the election Of President by the people.
and throw the election into the House Of
Representatives,. Even the National In i.
telligencer, ( the Bel.Evetett organ J
which once had some claims to respscts.
bili'y hnd fairness, looks with complacen.
cy upon. the success Of such intriguing
schemes, instead Of rebnking them as Il
would have done in better days. We
commend the following remarks from the
Albany Evening journal, on this subject,
to the consideration Of our readers, with
the single remark. that the Republicans
intend 10 avert such disaster, by the
election Of Lincoln and lamlln by the
people:
Few greater calami,ies, in these times
could happen, than the attempt to elect n
President by the House Of Representa-.
tives. The delay of all public business,
MS in contest for a Speaker last winter.
would be serious evil TIE bribery and
corruption that would be engendered
would disgrace the nation. Moreover 1t
Is very doubtful i; the House would not
adjourn without making choice, in which
case TINT intense Pro Slavery body, the
Senate, would elect joseph Lane. In
every light that such contingency ean
be viewed, il is fearful calamity. Not
that the country would not survive il. for
we indulge in no silly alarms. But every
friend Of good morals, public order, and
Republican institutions, ought to drpre.
cate Congressional contest for President,
far more than lie would the election Of
the most objectional candidate, now in
nomination, by the people. He ought to
strive to prevent it, because it would pro-
baby infict worse than j. B upon the
country for our next President. ...

openly avowed by the Douglas candidate
for Vice president, which the organs Of
that party will not publish even at adver-

OF his strength and powers. McNeal was
absent which circumstance the stranger
regretted (as he informed his wife, Chris

had travelled many miles for no other
purpose than to throw him. ''And troth,

How he had Him!

A man named Wells kept tavern in
one Of our western villages; but though
his house had a very good name, is was
more than he had himself, for it was
sura,ised ty his neighbols that he Used a
gieat deal Of fodder, oats, corn, &C., for
which he never gave any equivalent.
though it had never been clearly proved
upon him.
+, Early one morning, he was met by an
acquaintance, named Wilkes, as he was
dri, ing before him htifer. which he had
most probably Jorrcmed from some far
mtr.
"IIallo, Wells! where did you get The
heifer?" cried Wilkes.
Bought her Of Col. Stevens" was the
unhesilaling reply. ~
What did you pay for her?"
"Twenty dollars" said Wells, as be
hurried on. cs
About an hour afterward, as Wilkes
was setting in Wells bar room, Col. Ste.
vens entered. After a few minutes con.

"A fine animal that you sold Wells!'
II don't understand you; ! revcr sold
Wells, any animal"
Didn't you? Why, I met him this
morning with heifer, which he said he
bought of you for twenty dollars"
He did, eh? Well, since he said SO,
he has got to pay me for her" said Ste
vens.
Wells entered soon after, and Stevens
stepping up TO him: said
Come, Wells, III ttohhle you for the
money for that heller; it WAS a cash bar.
gain, you know!"
II never bought any heifer from you
"Don'! you remember you bought one
of me for twenty dollars?" Here's Wilkes
can prove it" sai
mo he can't said Wells.
"You told me SO this morning." said
Wilkes.
A curious expression passed over the
face Of Wells, he felt himself cornered;
he had either to tell where be got the an
imal, or lose twenty dollars; and think
ing it not safe for him to do the first. he
pulled out his wallet. counted out the
money, and handed it to Stevens. say

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A few years ago Mr.. Lafayette Lee was
married to young lady of this county, Miss
Hicks, and remained for some time at the
residence of his wife's father. in a short
time Lee gave unmstakable evidence of be-
ing dissatisfied, and treated his young wife
unkindIy. A temporary separation took
place, during which time Mrs. Lee remained
at ber fathers house until reconciliation
was effected. Lee, few months ago went
to Hazelburst for the purpose of teaching
school. He was unsuccessful, and finally
returned to this county and solicited the as
sistance of MIR Flowers, who was relative.
Mr.. Flowers generously rendered the hospi,
talities of his house to Lee and his wife
who accepted them. Mr. f. frequently saw
enough to convince himself that Lee treated
his wife unkiudly, and demonstrated with
him; ana urged him to maize some exertion
to support his family, protfering to assist
him in any laudabe effort. On Thurs lay
last Mrs. Lee expressed her anxiety to see
her mother, and wish to visit her home il
she could obtain conveyance. Mr.. Flowers
informed her that his carriage was at hel
service for that purpose Whenever she wished
| it. Lee remarked that she should not 60
and threatened to kill her if she did so
Having been repeatedly threatened by him
in like manner, she did not appear alarmed
On Friday the subject was again alluded to-
aud Lee persisted in his threats. A shor'
time after Mrs. Lee sa. down to a. game oI
cl ess with Mr. Flowers-Lee occupying "a
position Immediately behind Mr. f. In's
few moments an expression of horror wa:
noticed upon the face of Mrs Lee, who ap
peared to be gazing at hor husband. Mr.
Flowers, thinking perhaps that Lee was sud
denly taken i'll, turned and asked him what
was the mater. The answer given wa:
that nothing was the matter with him. lie
resumed bis play, when the report of a pisto
was heard, and Mrs, lee started couv lsive
| ly, cxclaiming that she was shot. Mr. L
Immediate caught her on hi, left arm auC
supported her sinking form. Lee now ad
vabctd and lired again at his wife and once
at Mr.. Flowers. Mrs. Ice, by this time
had sank nearly to the floor, supported by
the left arm IF Mr.. Flowers, who drew a re-

Each BAH took effect in the face of Lee-on,
near the right temple, one near the middle
of the forehead, Que near the left temple
oue in the jaw, and the other just above th'
mouth. Lee fell aud died immediately.
The wound inflicted upou Mrs. Lee was O
most dangerous character. The ball en-
tered just above the right breast, ranging
downward to the waist, aud coming out nea
the spine. At the last accounts she was in
most critical condition.
