a hcrrlble Crime-Attempt to Poison
q whole Family with StrychniDe.

From the Hillsboro, Ohio Gazette, Dec 10
On Saturday last man named Allen
Skeen, living near Marshal, about eight
miles southeast of Hillsboro, was arrested
and brought before Esquire Mullepix. OF
this place charged with an attempt to poi
son the family OF bis mother In law the
widow Grabill, by placing strychnine in
the well bucket. 1t seems there had been
some difficulty between Skeen and the old
lady, and she had recently compelled him
to leave her place, where be had been lly-
ing with her daughter, (his wite) since the
d. ath OF MIR. Grabill, last spring. The
e,rychnine was discovered by the old lady,
who went to the we'll just before break fast
TO clean her teeth. She noticed the bitter
ti.ste OF the water at once, aud looking into
the bucket saw white powder on the bot.
TOM Although she swallowed none of the
water she was immediately taken sick with
strong symptoms OF poisoning. The coffee
which had been prepared for the family
breakfast with the same water, but fortu-
nateiy not used, was thrown out, and DIR.
Miller, OF Marshall, sent for He tasted
the water, and imprudenlty swallowed a
little, when lie was at once seized with vio-
lent symptoms, and sent for Drs. Shepherd
and Noble OF this place. On their arrival,
they examined the water and powder in the
bucket, and he pronounced the latter
strychnlne. Mrs. Grablll and DIR. Miller
both recovered, after some hours sickness.
Skeen was then arrested on suspicion and
brought to town.
1t was proved on his examination that
he had bought drachm vial of strychnne
at Guthrle.s drug store in this place, day
or Two before the attempted poisopipu
which he said he wanted to kill rats. A
vial OF strychnine, precisely similar to the
one sold him, with about one fourth of its
contents taken out, was found by Sheriff
Hayes on The road by which the officers
brought Skeon to town, short distance
beyond where the Sheriff passed the bug
gy. On this and other testimone, Esquire
MulIenix held the accused TO baii in the
sum of 81, 200 which was given by his un~
Gle and father.

BE- Some of the radicals object to MATT
CARPENTER for senator, because they sus-
pect his devotion to radical principles.
They do not seem to appreciate it, but the
fact IL, if there is ground for this suspicion,
1t should be his chiefest recommendation.
The blunder they made in DooLITTLE' S
case was in getting man devoted to prIn-
clple. When they abandoned all the prin-
clples they ever protested, he simply stood
firm. If they get man now, devoted to
any present principles they have, they will
make just such another mistake-for in less
than four years time they will be pushed
by their necessities as from their present
position as they now are from the position
occupied when DooLITTLE was chosen.
They want man devoted to the party, not
to any principle whatever. Let them be
wise in time.

Reconstructing Reconstructiou.

The Milwaukee NeUs says: 1.-The plat
form of the radicals in the last campaign
congratulated the country on the success
OF the reconstruction measures The de-
mocracy denied that the reconstruction
measures were or could be success. +"
And now comes forward CHARLES SUMNER
and substantiates the truth of the demo-
cratic attitude BY introducing measures in
congress to still further reconstruct Geor-
gla. These precise reconstruction measures
on the success of which the country was
congratulated, embraced Georgia fully and
clearly and thoroughly as they did other
southern states. She was admitted into
the Union on the strength of them-took
her place once more in the sisterhood of
states and resumed her sovereignty, it was
| stated, by means of, and in consequence of
them. But Mr.. SUMNER proposes to re-
construct her still further. He proclaims
substantially. in the first place, that re
construction is not fnality with con-
gress- and the next place that it is not a
success. lie proclaims the whole question
yet open to legislative tinkering, and in eff
feet that nothing has been done. And so
we go AMI here we are
"lnstead of the peace" promised we
are to have continued and continued agita-
ton, which if it does not end in the over
throw of Mr.. SUMNER and his aidcrs and
| abet+ors, will end in the overthrow of the
government This is what the people are
| called upon TO choose between, and they
may choose now as well AS to put it off. +"

PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN.-The Eastern
d vision ofthe National Republican Execu-
tive Committee held meeting in Washing
ton, Tuesday, at which Claim, of Massa-
|chusetts, Chandler of New Hampshire,
|Starhweather, of Connecticut, and Greeley
|of New York, were present. The members
from Vermont and Pennsylvania were alb
sent, Messrs. Cowan, Of Ohio, and Gorham
pr California, of another division of the
committee, were also informally in attend
hnce. A long consultation was had with
! he Secretary of the Congressional Execu-
hive Committee, and the gentlemen eener-
billy INDUCED in conversation about work
Euring the campaign. 1t was unanimously
hgreed that the work in the South should be
prosecuted with vigor, and the conviction
WAS expressed that with proper effort all
the Southern States except Texas, and pos
tibly irginia, can be carried next Novem
Der for Grant and Colfax. The general
committee and Congressional committee all
cooperate heartily in compaign labors. Mr..
Greeley and Gov. Clafin both took an ex-
teedingly hopeful view of the situation, and
said we should carry the country in the fall
BY great majority.
The Executive committee is to meet again
n New York on the 18th instant, and i'm
nediately thereafter will open its rooms and
establish its headquarters at that city and
