a Lover Shot By His Rival.

TrrUsvILL, Pa, Sunday, june To-
About II o clock this morning a young man
named John Dale left here in a wagon to be
married to Miss Hattie Hathison, living
about six miles north of here. When about
two miles on the road, he received rifle ball
through his body He fell from the wagon,
and turned the horse loose, thinking by this
means to call assistance. Two gentlemen
passing at the time carried him to a friends
house in the neighborhood, but before assis>
lance could be procured he died. The rife was
found near where he was shot, evidently show
ing that the muderer hadbeen within twenty
feet of his victim. A rival for the hand of
the young lady bad threatened to shoot him,
and he is supposed to be the guilty party
He has not yet been arrested, but probably
will be before morning

Another Shooting Affair.

Another OF the numerous shooting affairs
which are becoming ofalmOst daily occurrence,
took place yesterday afternoon, near the corn
er of-Seventh and Green streets, in which, a
man named NoRvIL e. TUrwILER shot and
mortally wounded a man named E. Brady
From the best information we have been able
co obtain in the case, TUrwILER, who is a
boss bricklayer, and Brady, who is preprie-
tor of some carts, had several difficulties pre-
vious to the one of yesterday, over debt
which Brady claimed that TUTwILER owed
him for hauling done. Yesterday evening
about o'clock TUTwILER was passing up the
street, when he met Brady coming down the
street on horseback. The latter rode up close
to the pavement, and conversation ensued
which soon turned into a quarrel Angry
words being passed, TUTwILER is said to have
dared Brady to get off of his horse, saying that
he could whip him, at which Brady struck at
him. The latter then dismounted and they
clinched and scuffied until TUrwILER break
ing loose pulled pistol and shot Brady, the
ball entering his left eye and penetrating the
brain
TUTwILER at once started off rapidly down
Seventh and up Jefferson. Officer Junot
happening to be passing down Jefferson saw
him coming around the corner of Seventh
very much excited and putting-a pistol in
his pocket Junot attempted to arrest him
and he resisted, but Tom Casey, one of the
members of Fire Engine No. 2, coming to
the officers aid he gave in to Junot and was
taken and committed to jail
AS soon as Brady was shot he fell and was
carried into DR.. Forsythe's Office, where he
received the necessary attention. The wound
is pronounced by the surgeons as mortal

Vital Importance of Our State Election.
The tone of the press and of those citizens
of other States with whom we come in con-
tact, strengthen day by day the conviction that
the success of our party In Pennsylvania is
of vital importance to the Union cause
Occupying the position of keystone of the
Federal arch, she is also the keystone OF the
whole political fabric OF the country. Upon
every citizen of our Commonwealth rests a
double responsibility-a responsibility for his
own vote and also for that of those States
which come after him. Every action in life
influences not only the actor, but those who
are guided by his moral example. So with
political decisions. And any vote gained in
Pennsylvania will have a corresponding gain
in New York.
The Democracy do not pretend to deny
that their overwhelming defeat in our midst
will be the utter ruin of that party. The
leader of the World to-day declares that on
our action depends the way in which New
York will go. With this responsibility rest
ing upon us, and freely appreciating all the
per;ls OF the crisis, let us once more urge our
friends to renewed exertion. Let no step be
untaken; cheCkmate every scheme of the
opposition. Remember that "eternal Vigi-
lance is the price of liberty, and if we rest a
moment before the day is over, our victory
may be turned into defeat The battle of
Bannockburn was lost to the Scots because
Of their sanguine conviction that they had
won, when the fight was not yet over. Let
us note this fact Let us never lay side our
exertions until o'clock on the afternoon of
Tuesday. Then will our hard-fought battle
be ended in victory, and our people, resting
on the consciousness OF having done their
duty, can peacefully watch the triumph in
our sister Commonwealth, which must fol-
low the rout of the Democracy In our own
fair Keystone State.

Mr.. RuckwaIter,s Recnrd.

Mr.. CHARLES BUoKwALrEB, the Demo
cratic nominee in the Third Congressional
District, did The EVENING TELEGRAPH the
honor to attack its management and accuse it
of inconsistency. We once, at the time that
person was nominated, said that personally
we believed him to be a gentleman and a
young lawyer Of ability We find, from his
remarks, that we were mistaken. We cheer
fully retract what we said in that article.
In regard to the remarks made on his
record, which was separate from his present
character, we have only to reiterate what we
have already uttered about Mr.. Buckwalter.
We have the proofs. Mr.. Buckwalter dare
not deny what we have quoted. Toe flies of
the Age contain the extracts which we have
made. In order to enable our readers to have
no difficulty in verifying our assertion we reler
them to the Age Of the 1871 of September
1863, and 4th Of NOuember, 1854. There IS
the record IN black and aohite, and Mr.. Buck
Ualter has not and cannot deny them.
We think we have treated Mr.. Buck walter
more than ordinarily kindly, We have spoken
of him personally in favorable terms, and have
abstained from all that style of abuse which
the Age has heaped upon all our nominees.
He evidently does not know how to appre-
ciate gentlemauly and fair dealing In his
mistaking the courtesy of gentleman for
partisanshp, and our frankness for our sup
port, it is due not to us, but to his absence
OF knowledge of how men can meet in per-
sonal courtesy and yet differ radically in
political views.

LoYALIsTs SoUrH.-Iu the State of
Georgia there is but one loyal daily paper,
the Savannah Republican, edited and owned
by Colonel j. e. Hayes, late of Sherman's
army. Notwithstanding the hatred of the
secessonists, who stop at nothing short of
outright personal assault, it has lived and
thIived, and is, moreover, taken by those very
Rebels, because of les commercial department
and news We hope to see the day when
similar organ OF UniOnism will be found in
every Southern city; and the aid of the North
should be literally extended to all who
dare to express radical views at the risk of
their lives. 1t is duty we owe to ourselves,
that those battling for our principles in the
enemy's camp be sustained by all the means
in our power.

A COINoIDENCE.-General John W. Geary
was at one time Military Governor of Savan-
nah, and is noted in that section for the order
he preserved and the urbanity he ever
exhibited towards all loyal men. He is nomi-
mated for Governor of Pennsylvania He
was succeeded at Savannah by General
Stewart L. Woodford, who also proved a
most excellent officer. General Woodford is
nominated for Lieutenant Governor of New
York. Both are sure of an election, and tue
two greatest States of the Union will have
for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor the
two men who held that post under martial
law in one of the Rebel States.

AGAIN we say, beware OF last cards. We
understand the Democracy have prepared a
large supply Of falsehoods, to appear on
Monday at such an hour that they cannot be
answered and their falsity exposed. We urge
our readers not to believe any such devices.
They are but weak inventions of the enemy.
If they were true they would have been pro-
duced long ego. AS they are ialse, they win
only rebound on their publishers, as the time
Of issuing them, in itself, attests their lack Of

Trouble in West Virginia.

The Wheeling InteiagenCeT of April 25 has
news of startling nature respecting the condi
on of things in Wayne county OF that State.
Four citizens oil Cassville have written letter
to the Governor requesting permission to Or
eaniZe a regiment for the defense of the loyal
people in that section, and one of them Mr..
John Holt, offered some forcible reasons for
granting the petition. He says:-
