Democracy Alarmed.

The eloquent and argumentatiye speech Of
! Senator Morton of Indiana and Gen. Grant
letters to the President fastening q lie upon
this corrupt and perjured functionary, have
thrilled the whole Democratic camp with the
prOfOuHdesi fear. Its leaders, whose hearts
are festered with corruption and skirts crust
ed with murder, have a fearful looking for
ward to their sure and inevitable overthrow
and disgrace. They tremble as if the red
wrath of Heaven was impending over them
and commissions were fsuring the earth to
swallow them up in its volcanic bowels.
Their chaps have fallen to the transverse
middle line Of their bodies, and yard-sticks
are necessary to measure the Longitude Of
their wo-marked coUntenarces. And well
may they sbGdder at the proximity ofthe fear
full reckoning, when they will have to render
a full and strict account TO an outraged coun-
try for their crimes and yillainies. The re-
suit Of the pending Presidential election
thank God, will give an eternal quieiH to the
Democratic party, a monstrosity that has be-
strobe the land for years, and been produc-
tive only Of ruin and disaster. Democracy IS
a swIndle, a cheat, a lie without the least
shadow Of truth, a blot Of ignoUtnous shame
upon the civilization and moral and political
Advancement Of the age. It will soon be
consigned with all its Perjured villains,
rut-throats and murderers, TO tire
land of sllPhureOus flames, Peopled by grin
ming devils, from whence it emsnated.

C- During tho past summer and
autumn the people Of Lawrence,
Kansas, have suffered largely from
the d~epredations ola gang of thieves
who conducted their business with
sueh shrewdness as TO battle all at
teihpts TO effect their discovery and
arrest. Finally the labors of the of.
fcials of Lawrence Lave been crown
ed with success. Not only have the
thieves been arrested, but nearly or
quite all the stolen property has been
recovered. The gang consisted of
two men and a woman-Ned Walker,
Henry Somers and Mrs, Johanna
Smith. From the confessions of
Walker and Mrs. Smith, it appears
that the gang have, since last spring
stolen fourteen horses, a lurge mum.

Homicide I'm Rome, Ga,

We learn from u gentleman of this
city who WASH in Rome on Thursday
last that quiet city was at 4 O'Clock
Of that day, the scene of a fearful
tragedy, the particulars of which are
rs follows: 1t appears that Zach.
Hargrove, Esq, a citizen Of Rome
and now conducting a drug store
there, was Provost Marshal Of the
place in Confederate times and in
%discharging the duties of that posi-
ton, had occasion to seize a distillery
somewhere in that region of country
which at the time gave offense to the
owner Mr.. HargFove had heard
nothing further OF the circumstance
until Thursday last, when two men
made their appearance in Rome, and,
calling upon Mr.. Hargrovo at his
drug store informed him that they
or one of them, had come for his
bIood-had ridden forty miles for
that express purpose, and that moth
ing else would satisfy them. Our
informant does not recolleet the
names Of the men. but says M OF
them was heavily armed and made
no effort TO conceal his weapons. Mr..
Hargrove endeavored to couciiiate
the aggrieved party by stating that
he was simply as a Confederate officer
in the performance of q duty-or
obeying a military order-in selling
the distillery that it was not his pur-
pose at the time to do him an injury
hoped he would not so regard it nOU
and that there was no necessity
whatever for bloodshed in the matter.
This did not satisfy the men how
ever, when Mr.. Hargrove agreed
that il nothing but "blood" would do
them, they could return in an hour,
when he would be prepared to give
them satisfaction. Upon this they
retired and Mr.. Hargrove at once
procured a double barrelled shot gun
and awaited their second coming,
at tho same time that the
better judgment of the two men
would prevail, and that no serious
trouble would ensue. In this be was
mistaken, for, at the expiration of
the hour, the two men approached
the drug store in a boisterous, threat
ening manner, with pistols in hand.
Mr.. HargrOve was in readiness, but,
being still anxious to avert trouble
warned them not to approach nearer
this, one of the men fired a shot
his pistol, when Mr.. Hargrove
his shot gun and discharged
its contents of buckshot into the body
his assailant, the other man tax
.ng to his heels. The wounded man
lived about an hour. Hargrove
sustained no injury save a painful
wound in the hand, or finger, by
he pistol shot fred at him. These
ire the particulars as given to us by
)ne who vas present.-AtlEnta Intel.

~ John Beatty, the father of
Gen. Beatty, just elected to Congress
from the Eighth District of Ohio,
was an Irishman by birth, and by
occupation a soap and candle maker

arrested a young fellow-countrylnan
in his employ for stealing a box of
candles, and having testified that they
were worth 81, "eyery penny Of it,"
the Judge sentenced the boy to a
whipping in addition to a fine. The
poor fellow began to cry; Boatty's

feet and said to the court, "Please

but as he took tho whole box / can
afford to call it 1925" The young
Irishman was not whipped.
