capture her daughter, aged Is or l6 TAX
ing her with them. There were marks of
desperate fighting in the house, where the
mother and her eldest son were found dead
the latter shot through five times by six

The younger boy was killed in the yard.
The bodies were not found until next

DIcrAToRsHIp-An exchange no
tices that Mr. CoIl;lx, in u late
speech at Chicago, unconsciousIy
exposed the spirit which controls
his party. Instead Of advocating the
election of Gen Grant because Of
the principles and policy he is sup
posed to represent, Mr.. Colfax bases
his support of the General upon the
assumption that having saved the
country he is entitled to govern it,
or, as Mr.. Schuyler colf;ix himself
says. 10 "rule it, Here are the
words of Mr. Colf:ix: | believe that
since he conquered us peace, he is

who has the right 10 rule it. This
