A Horrible Homicide---Tragedy at
Jefferson Barracks---A Federal
Officer Beats q Private Soldier
to Death.
The Missouri Democrat of the
28th makes the following astound-
ing statement: .......
A homicide was committed at
Jefferson Barracks, yesterday NOR
ming, between nine and ten o'clock,
the details of which, as related to
us, if true, exhibit degree of bru-
tality, on the part of an officer, sci
dom equalled in crime. .. ..
The statement is that a private
of the Third United States Light
Artillery, stationed at Jefferson
Barracks, had been engaged in jo-
king and tormenting newrecruit.
The recruit reported the soldier to
Captain Maxwell, of the Third Ar
tillery who sent word to the soldier
to come to his room. The soldier
did not obey the order, and the
Captain went to the soldiers quar-
ters, and there, after some words,
struck him a heavy blow with his
fist on his neck, knocking the man
down. Some of his comrades
picked the soldier up and laid him
on his bunk, when the Captain
dragged him out upon the floor, and
kicked him a number of times,
causing the mans death. .r,,
1t is further stated that the ord
erly sergeant sent soldier to in
form the Coroner of the occurrence,
and that the Captain had the sol
dier stopped and placed the serge
ant under arrest. 5itrnsa>ar = FL.

Gen. Grant for President.

After due considerat ion and mature
reflection, and in accordance with our
expressed sentiments in our last issue,
we this week, place at the bead of our
columns the name Of Ger. Ulysses S.
Grant as candidate for the Presidency
in 1868. We have no apology to offer
our readers for this action, and we feel
satisfied that none is needed In this
act, We merely give expression to the
deep and settled sentiment Of the Repub-
lican party, and not only of the Repub>
lican party, but it is the unprejudiced
sentiment ofa decided majority of the
Democratic party. He has the confidence
of the masses Of the American people and
will receive their support. iif4r g
So fully does the following article from
the "Frdnslin Repostto,y," meet our
views on this subject, that we insert it
entire: 5.tu
Last week we esplaced at the head
Of our coumns the name of U s. Grant
as an expression of our choice Of Re,
publican candidate for the Presidency.
tbs not necessary that we should give
at length our reasons for so doing. 1t is
enough to say that while we regard him
as truly representative man, one whose
sympathies are entirely with those who
seek to reconstruct the Union on the ba.
sis of equal rights anil sufficient guaran>
tees, we consd er him the man above all
others peculiarly qualified by nature and
experience to lead this Government ont
Of its present difficulties into the enjoys
ment OF its former peace and prosperity.
In preferring General Grant we are in
fuenced not by any consideration of
availability, but are prompted thereto by
VIII at we consider the mans own superior
qualifications aud the country's greatest
need. Honest aud sagactous in his
views, firm in his conviction, determined
and infexiblc in his purpose, and above
all devotedly attached to the great prin.
ciples of freedom; on which our Republic
is built he seems especially fitted for the
great work that will devolvs upon Mr..
Johnson's successor. More than all 9th
ers he knows the value of the Govern
ment We would preserve and maintain.
He knows at what fearful cost we res.
cued it from threatened destruction. and
knows how cheerfully the ransom was
paid No one knows better its condition
oday, its strength, weakness, its glory,
its shame. He is in fullest sympathy
with its loyal citizens, and his greatest
pride will be in serving them. There's
fore with the utmost confidence in his
wisdom, his integrity and patriotism and
anxious only that the affairs of the Re-
public shall be admir- istered to it's own
good and the highest welfare of its citl-
zens, we nominate for the next President

previous to the late election, is being
gradually developed. The defeat Of
Messsrs. McYitty and Robinson, Repub
lican candidates for State Senator in the
Twenty,frst district, has caused an in
vestigation to be made as to the manner
of its accomplishment, and has resulted
in developing frauds Of a glaring charc-
acter in Juniata, Perry and Center couu-
ties. Sufficient evidence has been OBJ.
tanned. it is said to give Messrs. Newt
ty and Robinson their seats, without
reference to the large number Of de-
serters that voted in Juniatta and
Center counties. The election of Shug-
CERT and Mcintyre will therefore be con-
contested, with, it is claimed certainty
of success.

Mr.. JOHNSON, it is said, has way Of

come around him to claim large rewards,
which he does not intend to grant, on &C,
count of the October elections. He tells
them that in Pennsylvania they would
have had thousands instead of hundreds
for Sharswood, had they indorsed him ;
while in Ohio they would have crowned
their great gains with Democratic Gov

premit that important position to be filled
by copperhead and thomson man who
would hinder reconstruction, who would
demoralize the army, who would sanction
fraudulent and bogus claims of rebels
and bring rep-oach generally upon the
public service Gen. Grant did not there
fore, hesitate to accept the position and
all its responsibilities, and his action had
the concurrence of Mr.. Stanton. Indeed
no steps were taken in the whole business,
except upon full consolation and under
standing between those two distinguished
men. Under such circumstances the
loyal men of the country would have had
good cause to censure Gen. Grant had
be refused the position. The very men
who had censured him most for taking
it, would now have been censuring him
for not taking it. They would have said
that, protesting TO be in sympathy with
loyal men aud in favor of reconstruction
he shrank from the responsibility Of a
place offered to him in which he could
have been Of estimable service to the
country, and by such refusal the War
Department went into the hands of the
enemy. But the Gen wants no other
viudication for his action than will be
furnished by his official acts. He can
afford TO wait In conclusion Mr.. Wash>
burn said he was no speaking Of Gen.
Grant as candidate for the Presidency,
for he had no right to speak for him in
that regard He had spoken as he had
because so many of his fellow citizens
had asked him in relation to the position
the General occupied on questions of the
most overwhelming public importance,
and what were his views, sentiments and
convictions touching matters in which
all good citizers felt so deep an interest.

q The Pittsburgh Post calls frantically
for the Impeachment of Governor Geary,
because some soldiers voted in Philadel-
phia. A detective would tell you at once
that all this means some offense or other
which needs covering up, with no ade,
quate material to do it. Having, pursu>
ant to Wallace's circular, committed
frauds in dozen counties, and standing
in dread of exposure and the defeat of
Sharswood after all, this cry of impeach-
ment is raised purely to divert public at
tention. 1t will not succeed, We call
upon our friends at Harrisburg to do their
duty fearlessly and thoroughly. Let us

THE action of the Union men Of CO.
lumbus, Ohio, in rati6ing the nomination
of Gen. Grant for the Presidency by the
Republicans of Maryland, is generally
looked upon as possessing some special
significance. Columbus being the home
of Mr.. Chase, this expressiong of pref
ereIce is naturally associated with his
well>knowen aspiration for the Presidency
and as naturally regarded as an indication,
more or less weighty, adverse to him.
The information which reaches US from
Ohio, through a variety of sources, leads
us to suppose that the Columbus action
is in accord with Republican sentiment
in the State generally, and that the
chance of Mr. Chase and Mr.. Wade
both have been postponed in definitely,
by the late election-more especially the
result in Ohio.
