John Shoultze, a German living near
Rulo, took his ave and team to the tim
for a load of rails on the 20th of April.
His neighbors being alarmed as he did
not return, found his team hltohed at the
hind end of the wagon in the timber. and
found the axe neal by and a quantity Of
blood. The search for Shoul,ze was con-
tinued through Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. His hat was found three
miles from the team, in some willow
bushes near Judy's wood yard. On Fri
morning a further search was made.
The track of man passing into the river
and then out, was trailed across the bot
tom some distance to a clumP Of trees,
where it seemed a horse had been
hitched. A track from this toward the
river was then found. While trailing
this track they found a puddle Of blood,
say about a quart, near the river. The
sheriff arrived with a skif, and after
dragging the river near where the hat
was found for some time, they brought
the body to the surface of the water,
which was easily identified.
POST KoRTEM EXAMINATION.
A c%oroner's jury was summoned and a post norton
examination made by DIR. Whitmire. His clothes
were in complete order. His roundabout was hut
toned tightly at each wrist, as was also his eOat.-
His pants were in his bootF. No trace of a wound,
bruise, or injury Of any kind could be found on his
body anywhere, save on his left arm just above the
wrist. Just above the wrist on the left arm were
three wounds, two of which were very slight,
merely cutting through the skin parallel with each
other and the third which was s deep wound cut
square across the arm near the wrist joint 70 the
bone, severing all the smaller arteries, veins and
tcudons. When found, the shirt and coat were both
buttoned below these wounds and not cut to cores
pond. The cOroneF's verdict was in accordance with
the foregoing facts. Intense excitement prevails.
German, living half a mile from whore the team
was found, has been arrested. To say t~heleast, it's
an exceedingly mysteriousc case; one which future
devel lpments alone can unfold.

Blair speaks Again!

1t was a pertinent remark of an old Demo
crat, who had been outraged by the doings of
his party, till he could hold in no longer,on
reading Blair's last speech,when he exclaimed ::
"will nobody suppress that fellow? One day
we are told he is to be put off the ticket, and
the next we find him running about the coun-
try making his reasonable speeches Will
nobody suppress him?"
We sympathize with the old gentleman but
we really hope nobody will suppress" Frank
Blair. Many brilliant speakers have done
most glorious service for the Union cause
throughout the arduous and protracted cam
paign. Never were more devotion or talent
brought to bear upon any temporal cause.
Foremost among those who have helped the
good work on, stands the Democratic candi-
date for the Vce-Presidency. His service has
been invaluable. He has shown the coven
foot SO plainly and continually, that his party
has ever felt that if it was not ruined by other
causes, he was the man to lay it out; and he
means to be in at the DEATH He labors like
the freshest proselyte. He will not close his
mouth, we trust, till the voters of this country
on Tuesday next ring the curtain down on the
prospects of his party forever! In the name of
al that is good and lovely, let no one attempt
to suppress Francis P Blair for the next four
days! After that, his suppression is as fixed

A LIST Of Democratic generals published in
the New York World has been extensively
copied. 1t includes the name of General O
B. Wilcox, who writes as follows:
The fact is, that the present party managers
have never forgiven the War Democrats.
From 1866 to 1868, they spoke them fair and
sought them to bridge over their necessities.
But in the late Seymour and Blair Conven-
ton, it seems as if they had defiantly thrown
them overheard as tub to the Southern
whale, just as unequivocallv as the Charleston
Convention threw Douglas and the Union
overheard. They audaciously adopted a plat
form, and by their nomination sanctioned in
sane utterances, such as no lover of his coun-
try's integrity could ever support, unless blind
ed by party zeal.
For my own part, deprecate extremes, and
for the sake of peace, have been, and am now
tor carrying out the Reconstruction laws ON a
generous basis; and confidently regard the
settlement of public opinion, NorGh and South
upon so generous and faithful a man as Grant
as the sure sign of approaching and fna,
peace.
