The self-stylcd Republican party have
long contended that they embody all the
wisdom aud craftsmanship of the ceun.
try and yet when they passed their
great measure, the new .ariff bill,
had been duly examined and reported
by their Committee Of Ways and Means,
at the head Of which is that same Mr..
Sherman, for whose election to the third
highest office in the country the Repub-
Leans in Congress Iaborcd SO long and
SO perseveringly' "there was none to
explain the difference between specific
and dd rdlOrem duties" We are much
gratltied that their own Journal, The
Ecenin9 Post, has explained one of the
causes which led to the passage OF this
bill OF denominations. 1t is somewhat
remarkable that party which has
boosted gifts great men so lordly, should
have no one i'll Congress who knew the
difference between these two modes Of
levyirg duties on imports? We at the
same time venture the assertion, and be-
l'eve 1t to be true, that their Chairman
OF Ways and Means, from Ohio, is far
greater statesman and more intelligent
man than is he of Illinois, whom thew
have selected as their standard bearer
and their candidate for President Of the
United S'tates.-N. !. Herald.

State Democratic Convention.

We publish call this morning for a
Democratic State Conyention to assem-
bic in Desmoines on the 10Th day OF
July, proximo for thepurpose Of putting
in nomination Candidates for Presidential
Electors, and for the several State or
hccrs, viz secretary Of State, Auditor
OF State, Treasurer OF State, Register Of
the State Land Office and Attorney
General.
We notice that the Executive Com
mittee have called this Convention to
assemble one day after the Second Con.
gressional District Convention, which
will meet in Cedar Rapids on the 18th
Of July next. The distance between
Cedar Rapids and Desmoines is some
thing over two hundred miles, and of
course those who attend one Convention
cannot hope to attend the other. We
know that many persons in this Con-
gressional District wish to attend both
Conventions, and it would be better for
the Democracy that they should. We
fear that the calling OF the State Con-
vention SO soon after the Congressional
will have bad effect and the latter
Convention will be very poorly repre-
scented. We trast, if possible, the call
will be altered and the State Conven-
ton called few days later.
1t is about time that the Chairman Of
the Democratic County Central Com
mittee was issuing his call for the Coun-
ty Conventions. 1t is very desirable
that the State and Congressional Con-
ventions should be attended by full del
egations, aud the Executive Committee
have expressly requested that the Coun-
ty Conventions should select such men
"a would be very likely to be present.
The State Convention will be a verv
important gathering. We have to Sc
lect candidates for Presidential Elect
ors, and We wish them to be popular
and influential men-men who will be
willing to stump the State tor tho cause
Of Democracy and the rights Of the
people. We have to select candidates
tor State officers. to take the places Of
those corrupt and thicvish officials re-
nominated BY the late Republican State
Convention. For these aud other i'm
portsnt reasons it is very desirable that
the State Convention should be repre-.
sented by full delegations from each
County in the State.

n HUSBAND ATTEMPTS To Mrpnrp
HIS WIFE AND Is KILLED BY RgLA.
TIvf.-The vicksburg Sun, Of re-
cent date, records as follows, dreadful
tragedy near that city:
A few years ago Mr.. LAFAYETTE Lee
vas married to a young lady Of this
city, Miss Hicks, and remained for some
time at tic residence of his wIle's father.
In short time Lee gave unrnlstakable
evidence Of being dissa,isfied, and treat
ed his young wife unk,ndly. A tempo
rary separation took place. during which
time Mrs. Lee remained at her fathers
house until reconciliation was effected.
Lee, few months ago, went to Halle
hurst for the purpose Of teaching school.
lie was Unsuccessful, and finally re-
turned to this county, and solicited the
assistance OF Mr.. Flowers, (who was a
reIatise-) Mr.. Flowers generously ten
dered the Inequalities of bis house to
Lee and his wife, who accepted them.
Mr.. +. frequently saw enough to con-
vince himself that Lee treated his wife
unkndy, end demonstrated with him ;
and urged him 10 make some exertion
70 support his family, proffering to as
ut HIM in any laudable effor,. On
Thursday last Mrs. Lee expressed her
.nvsty to see her mother, and wish to
v;.;. Aer home If she could obtain con-
vavan.e. Mr.. Flowers informed her
that hiscarr'age was at her service Tor
that no,,pse whenever she wished it,
Leo rcma'led that she should not 90,
and ,Lrc ,,ene ! to kill her if she did so.
Having been repeatedly threatened by
him in like ,rAnner, she did not appear
alarmed.
On Friday the subject was again al
luded to, and zee persisted in his
threats. 4 short time after, Mrs. Lee
sat dowa to play agame Of chess with
Mr.. Flowers-I.ce occupying a position
Immediately behind Nr. +: In few
moments an expression OF borrow was
noticed upon the face Mrs: Lee who
appeared to be gazing timer huscand:-
Mr.. Flowers, thinking pSrhaps that Lee
was suddenly taken i'll, TUNED and asked
him what WAS the matter. Inc answer
given was that nothing vas the matter
with him. lie resumed Ks play, when
the report of pistol W heard, aud
Mrs. Lee started convu!siv4iy, cXc!alm-
ing that she was shot. ~. +. 'mmc.
diatcly caught her on bis FIT arm and
supported her sinking for Lee now
advanced and fired again AZ his wife and
once at Mr.. Flowers. Mrs Lee. by this
time, had sank nearly TO the floor, sup
ported by the left arm 81 Mr.. Flowers,
who drew revolver FROM his pocket and
partially turning, fired fi2e times (over
his shoulder at Lee. Each ball took
effect in the face Of Lee. }one near the
right temple-onc near thclmiddlc OF the
forehead one near the lNt temple
one ia the jaw, and the othN just above
diately.
The wound Inflicted upon Mrs. Lee
was of most dangerous character. The
ball entered just above the right breast,
ranging down 10 the waist, and coming
out near the spine. At the last aceounts
she was in most critical condition.
Elsewhere we learn from the SuzNthat
not only the Coroner's Jury, but all $thc
neighbors best acquainted with the all fair
fully approve and commend the acA of
MIR. Flowers, who is beloved by all WHO
know him.
