Attempted Murder ofa Young Lady in
Auburn.

fFrom the Auburn Advertiser Nov. Is.
The most intense excitement was
caused in this city on Thursday after
noon by an attempt to murder Miss
George Stearns, residing with her pa
rents in the Soule block, Genesee street.
The would-be murderer is young man
named Michael Sullivan, of respectable
appearance, who had formerly boarded
with the family of his victim, and paid
his addresses to the daughter, girl of
eighteen. On Thursday afternoon he
paid visit to the family for the alleged
purpose Of taking leave, proposing to
depart for the West again Immediately.
while there he requested Miss Stearns
TO play the piano for him before parting,
and she accordingly went With him to
the parlor, her mother remaining in the
hack room. Sullivan, Oh entering the
narIor, locked the door, and stepping up
behind the unsuspacting girl, drew a
small seven shooter and fired a shot
which passed downward and backward
into the neck. She fell to the floor with
the shot, when he fired two more shots,
striking her in the face and hand. He
again leveled the weapon, but the moth
eT having been alarmed by the reports,
burst open the door and entered just in
season to strike up his arm as the pistol
was discharged, and graphing with him
succeeded in disarming hin, when assist
apce arrived and the police being sum
moned he was arrested. On visiting Sulli
van at the Jail this morning, our reporter
found him in a very much detected state
of mind, and expressing solicitude as to
the condition of his victim. He express
sed willingness 10 expiate his crime in
case ofits fatal result, and said that his
intention had been to shoot himself af-
ter killing her, as he was unwilling that
any other than himself should possess
her affection.

lief from unnecessary taxation, and
they will have it; they demand fail
apportionment of the public burdens,
and tney will have it; they demand
just and ineligible revenue laws, and
they will have them they demand re-
trenchment and economy, and they will
have them; and, to give effect to their
will, they demand hsnest rulers, and they
are determined to have them. On the
other hand there are some things that
they are determined not to have. They
won't have negroes put above white
men; they won't have one-third of the
country given up to destruction; they
won't have the prosperity of the whole
country sacrificed for the sake ofpolitic-
ians; they won't support tens of thous-
ands of Office holders in idleness who
ought to be turned out to honest work
they won't be taxed to support negroes
who are able to support themselves,
while poor white men and women have
to earn their daily bread by their daily
toll they won't have a gold currency
for the bondholders, and paper cur
rency for the people /; and they won't
have the social customs to which they
have been habituated arbitrarily inter-
fcred with by vexatious and oppressive
legislation" Again we say, leave can
didate- making for the present to men
who have no faith in their principles
who know that defeat is inevitable if
they stand boldly and squarely upon
them. "The People" are now with the
Democracy upon principle. Let not the
Democracy foolishly separate from them
by wild and primature hunt after
men.

The people of Georgia have much to

Vaccinations of unofficial intruders and

prevalence of better counsels, they find
to-day that apprehended tumult and
violence have thus far been averted by
an unseen Power greater than that OF

and many other blessings, earnestly be
sought in the past, call for devoutly
grateful acknowledgment of their pres

Stabiing for Stock.

AS the season has now arrived in
which it has become necessary to re-
move the stock from their exposed sit
nations in the fields to more comforta-
bic quarters, and to furnish them with
that food and shelter which they are nc
longer able to obtain out-oi-doors,
think that a few words concerning the
management of them while in this stu
alton would not be amiss.
Since there are so many different
kinds of stock, it would be impossible
to give any one rule which would en-
brace the complete management of them
all; still there are some points which
may be observed with advantage in the
care of all kinds.
One of the most important of these
is ,rGrmth, and this is subject of much
more importance than is generally con-
sidered by farmers. l do not mean to
say by this that the stock should be sc
closely confined as to render them ten
der. but that they should have shelter
sufficiently capable of protecting them
from the inclemency of tho weather.
While it is extremely desirous that
we should furnish our stock with good
warm quarters, we should be careful
not to 60 to the other extreme and ex.
clude the air altogether, but should
endeavor to aid the escape of the gases
which emanate from the manure and
the lungs of the animals, by ventilators
and other means.
There is another point to which
would call attention, and which is very
much neglected, and that is cleanliness
Many farmers are in the habit of allow.
ing the manure to remain in the stables
for days together just as it deposited
and the gases arising from this cannot
fail to be otherwise than injurious to
the animals.
The excuse often urged for this is
that they have not time to remove il
each day as it should be done; but
very much doabt the efficacy of this ex
cuse, for at the most it would require
only few minutes each day; but wher
allowed to remain for several days, sc
large an amount has accumulated thai
it requires considerable time to re-
move it.
The health of the animals and the
cleanliness of the stables would also be
greatly increased by suitable draining

PEeaidenI N nkinR.

The result of the October elections
gave powerful impetus opresidential
Scheming upon paper, and the result Of
the November elections has increased
the motion. The Republicans, over
whelmingly defeated or practically re-
pudiated from Maine to California upon
the square issue of their principles, and
seeing nothing but annihilation before
them in 1868 if they continue to Eight
it ont on that liue," have been COM
PEELED by the law of self-preservation to
abandon the field of principle in the
presidential contest. They now clutch
the skirts of Il single man, in the hope
that his alleged personal popularity,
and his studied rcticence Oh all the
pualic qucstiors of the day, may carry
them through the campaign, and renew
their lease of power and patronage.
1t will be matter of regret, if the
Democrats are 50 short-sighted as to i'm
itate the example of these men follow
ers, and furnish them precisely what
they desire-the grounds for making the
contest one of person rather than of
principle. When the occasion arrives,
the man will be found ready and tiT for
it, Until that time comes, it seems to
US that it would be both patriotic and
polite to leave the candidate making
chiefly to our opponents. If we keep
the vital issues of the approaching
Presidential campaign before the peo-
pie, as We kept those issues before them
during the State campaigns of the pre-
sent year, we will triumph-not through
the popularity or the personal merits of
any man, but by virtue of our princi-
pies, and notwithstanding the vote of
all the negro-ruling States that may be
counted against us. The situation oft his
Government and of this people is such
that the electors now, more than at any
time since the Union was formed, are
alive to the burdens upon them and the
perils surrounding them. Ifnot diverted
from the main point by squabbles about
men, and by schemes designed to subserve
personal interests, they will carry to
completion in 1868 the work so we'll
begun in 1867. The man does not live
who can allure them from duty to the
country and to themselves, if the Demo-
cratic press and Democratic public men
are true to the trust now reposed in
their hands of judiciously conducting
the preliminaries of the coming contest.
Judge THURMAN, in his speech at Col
umbus, Ohio, the other day, showed a
true conception of the demands of the
hour when he said, after reviewing the
victories of October and November :
True, much remains to be done before
the country will have been rescued
from the clutch of the destroyer. But
believe me, my friends, it will be done.
The people were never more in earnest
than they are now. Demagogism,
abuse, and empty defamation 60 for
nothing. The peple demand the truth,
and they viii have it; they demand CON-
mon sense in the conduct of our affairs,
and they will have it; they demand re-

A duel was fought Tuesday morning,
back of the Metairie Ridge, but not ex-
actly according to the code or rules of
the prize ring. The two principals
agreed to settle their difficulty by
a rough and tumble fight, without
weapons, but each was to have the
privilege of taking all advantages
possible by biting, kicking, gouging,
or in any other way infiicting punish
ment on his opponent. At the ap-
pointed hour the principals and their
respective friends and backers-in
all, three carriage loads-repaired to
the ground, and the ring was formed.
They fought and fit and gOuged and
bit" for half an hour, when both were
hors da combat. One left the field minus
finger, bit off by his opponent; the
other left holding one of his eyes in his
hand and trying to put it back in the
socket from which it had been gouged.
The parties were certainly severely pun
ished, but they were not arrested.-N.

R..A.smbIinx OF Congress.

Pursuant to the July adjournment.
both Houses Of Congress re-assembled
Yesterday. The session of the Senate
was a brief one, but long eusugh to
enable SUMNER to present his usual
daily offering in the shape of a negro
bill. The joint resolution of EDMUNDs
pledging the faith of the Government
10 the redemption of the public debt in
coin, except where otherwise stipulated
in the loan, will create something of a
stir, before it passes both Houses. The
opposition to it will bevery determined
and will be by no means confined to the
Democratic ranks.
The appearance of the newly elected
Tennessee delegation in the House was
the occasion of an interesting discus
sion. Messrs. Brooks and ELDRIDGE
objected to the swearing in of the dele
CATION, on the ground of disloyalty and
because Tennessee had not n Republican
form Of Government. They insisted
that the Radicals should apply the pre-
cedent established in the case of Ken
tucky, and inquire into the antecedents
Of the delegation before admitting them
to seats. With their usual consistency,
the Radicals contended that tests laid
down for Rebels ought not to apply to
men now acting with the loyalty" of
the country. The entire delegation was
admitted, except BUTLER, whose creden-
tials we're referred. The fact is noto-
riOus that others OF the delegation,
among whom STOKES may he named,
we're seriously involved with the rebel
lion in its earlier stages. Their prompt
admission, in face of the rejection of the
Kentucky men, is fine comment upon
Radical honesty.
