How 10 DO Away with Parties.

If Republicans desire to have no party or
gani2ation during the war, it is the easiest of
all Il 'gs TO accomplish. They have nothing
to do out abandon their abolition hobbies,
stop their schemes Tor passing abolition laws,
aud repeal the ones already passed. They
have nothing to do but to profess themselves
IN favor of supporting the Constitution and
laws, Of the country, and thoro would no lon.
ger be u living issue between themselves and
any respectable number Of Intelligent men in
the country, Democrats always upheld the
Constitution, always sustained the laws, ant
were always opposed by the Abolitionists ant
Republicans In both. AS long as Rcpubli
cans oppose the enforcement OF the laws o
the country and defend violations of the Con
Sttution, another party will exist and exist
in strength sufficient to drive them to tho wall

Gold and silver,

The speculation has reached its height,
and specie fallen from II to l32 per cent.
since Saturday, for gold silver 81 90 to
81, 10. The price OF gold and sill yer will
no doubt flood the large eastern cities,
and we look for still further decline in
the prices. What is necessary is conf
dence, and little patience before rush
ing headlong upon any new course, In
the mean time. we would caution our
friends against launching out at this time,
or of assuming too great responsibilities
which are to be met at future day, The
country is in great experiment, and time
must determine its practicability and the
issue.

which our fathers framed and adopted,
nor can they usurp to themselves the
right to exercise powers which have
never been delegated to them. Teach
them to know that there IS power in
the great body polite to maintain the
Constitution as it Is, and restore the
Government as IT WAS, before they
laid their unholy hands upon it. Do
these things and we shall again be
blessed with peace and prosperity.
And in conclusion we will say that
we hope every Democrat in Harrison
County will make it his business to be
in Cadiz, on Saturday, June %. Let
the Convention be the largest ever
held in the county, and give the abO-
lition fanatics in this section to under
stand that there is still a Democratic
party. Let us reason and counsel to-
gether. "In Union there is strength. "
Good speakers will be present to ad-
dress the people. Let no township
fail to do its duty on that day, but lei
all men who are in favor of restoring
the Union as it was,and preserving the
Constitution as it is, be in Cadiz or

Fiemdish Outrage--A Negro Conn
mits N Rape Upon 81 White WO-
man, aud attempts TO. Murder
Her.
On Friday evening last, negro living in
st Mary's committed f1endish outrage on
the person of q lady-the wife of volunteer
now serving IN the Federal army-ard to
conceal bis crime, attempted to kill her. We
have not learned the full particulars, of this
shocking affair, but as near as we can learn
the particulars are as follows: The negro
saw the woman about dark starting out of
town to 20 to her residence, which Is situated
some distance down the canal from st. Ma
ry's followed her, and when he supposed she
had got far enough to be beyond the hearing
OF the citizens OF the neighborhood, he sprang
npon her, choking her senseless, and while
she was in that condition, he succeeded in
accomplishing his deviish and damnable de-
sign. When the poor woman returned to
consciousness the negro was standing over
her. He asked her il she would tell what
had occurred, and on her informing him that
she would surely do so, he drew a large knife
and saying that dead people tell no tales"
stabbed her. She Immediately grappled with
him, and during the scuffie the knife fell to
the ground, and being on the bank of the ca
nal, she kicked it into the water. just at
that moment, some one on the opposite side
Of the canal heard the noise, and started to
see what was the matter, when the negro
struck for the wocds. II was doubtless his
intention to kill the woman and throw her
body into the canal, and thus hide all evil
dsnce OF his crime. The negro has since been
caught, and is now in the Jail at our place,
where be will have to be boarded at the
county's expense for several months before
hecau DO tried. A great many seem to be

On Sunday afternoon, as Mrs. Maddox, her
daughter Hester, and little son, were re-

when about mile and half from town,
they were met by young negro, about
nineteen years old. The fellow stopped the
buggy and ordered Miss Hester to get out,
which, ofcourse, she refused He then, by
using force, dragged her out and attempted
to accomplish his hellish purpose. Mean
time, Mrs. Maddox had also got out and
gathering stones, began to throw at him as
we'll as she could, so as not to bit her daugh
ter; but the negro continued his attempts,
which would no doubt have been successful
bad not the young lady called to her mother
to get the pistol from the buggy. At this the
negro became frightened and ran away. Get.
