as a cullss uurisce last week our citizens were
stirtled by the announcement that
MosT HORRIBLE MURDER
had been committed in broad open daylight
on one Of the principal thoroughfares 10 the
city, by s)me person or persons unknown.-
Gen. Murray Mcconnell one Of the most promi-
nent and wealthy citizens Of the State was
found last Tuesday most brutally murdered In
his law office, bis head being literally crushed
to a Jelly. Having held many important po-
stious in the State aud been intimately con-
nected for the last forty years with its lesissa-
tion the startling announcement Of his death,
and in such manner, very naturally created
an intense excitement throughout the whole
country. For days and days the Cproner's
Jury remained in session, and the painful mys-
terry that shrouded the shocking affair gave rise
to a thousand and one conjectures as To the
probable cause of the murder and the author
Of it. Finally when the verdict was rendered
the astounding announcement was made that
the author of this foul murder was no other
than well known citizen of the place, William
A. Robinson who is merchant here. His pre-
vious good character aud the possibility Of
doubt in the verdict alone prevented him from
being lynched upon the spot. He is now 10
Jail awaiting bis trial.

HAYES ana PendIeton.

General George A. Sheridan, in his
speech at Bellefontaine, draws the fol-
lowing contrast between the positions
occupied by Hayes and Pendleton
during the autumn of ga:
"Gov. Hayes, my friends, has very
forcibIy discussed the different positions
occupied by Rosecrans and Pendleton
during the winter of '6S. His modesty
prevents him contrasting his own with
the position of Pendletan during the
war. Let me recall TO your mind, an
incident in the career of Gen. Hayes:
Come with me to the valley of the Shen-
andoah; it is the beautiful autumn of '64
a September sun shines kindly down on
wood and harvest field, and tips with
silver the bayonets of two rival armies
that confront each other. A brigade OF
Ohio troops are lying on their arms
waiting the order to advance. Suddenly
the bugles, from all their brazen throats,
peal out the charge; the line grows i'm
hued with life and braces itself for a
mighty effort. Through the ripening
grain the column sweeps forward, their
bayonets CLEAN for an instant on its outer
edge and then are lost in dense growth
of cedar. Suddenly the line pauses
something unknown before in all its his.
tory; through the halting column, man
compact and wiry rushes, his quick
glance takes in the danger spread out
before his troops; seemingly impassi-
bic marsh is seen, and beyond, the bat.
teries efthe enemy. What's to be done!
| To go back is disgrace, to move by the
flank and seek passage round, will
lose the battle. His blue eye lights up
with fire; forward" comes from his
el, h cci,. II -,
his horses flanks; rider and horse plunge
into the wstery marsh; Oh, on they
struggle; now sinking in the treacherous
earth; now hid by the smoke from the
lurking batteries. At length the shore
| is gained. The troops, reused by the
splendid heroism Of the man, give one
great shout, and dash after him; the,
struggle through the Shiny waste; gather
round their leader, and in answer to his
quick forward" dash on the batteries
with leveled bayonets; sweep all opposi
ton from their front; then charge like
whirlwind down the flank of the rebel
army. Their splendid valor turned thr
day. The battle of Winchester was won
The man whose nerve and fire reused
his falling columns in the very crisis o.
the battle, was General Hayes, your can
didate for Governor Where was George
Fl. Pendleton? At that very hour b,
was the candidate of the "peace party
for Vice President. At the very instan
Hayes was crowniEg the banners o.
Ohio with glory. Pendleton was doin.
all he could do to drape these banners
all in white in token of ofsurrender. Why,
my friends, the gallantry of Hayes on
that autumnal day will be fresh IA d
green in the memory of this Nation
when its people have forgotten that sucl
man as George Fl. Pendleton eve,
lived. Is there no choice between thes
men for Governor, the one a soldier
tried and true, the other q traitor of tn,
most unquestioned kind?

WHEN Mr. Sherman spoke here the
other night, lie made a statement that
no intelligent Democrat can successfully
eontrovert, namely: While the Demo-
cratic leaders have proclaimed theirsym-
pathy with workingmen, there is hardly
any measure for their benifit oil the
statute books of the Nation and of States
that was enacted by Democratic law
makers. The National Homestead law
now on the statute books was vetoed by
Buchanan, the last Democratic Presi-
dent. 1t was afterwards passed by Re-
publican Congress and approved by Presi-
dent Lincoln. The la " limiting the hours
Of labor in Government workshops to
eight was passed by Republican Con-
gress. Nearly all the laws of States linn
iting the hours of labor to ten, were pass
ed by the opposition to Democracy. But
the great fact which towers above all
Others is that the Republican party
emancipated labor, by destroying slavery
which the Democratic party maintained
to the extremity of rebellion. This was
the grandest achievement In our history
for the release of labor from the domina-
ton of capital. Before the abolition %
slavery. all labor was compelled to COM
pete with capital owning its labor. Now
the power of dominating capital is
broken, and by the Republican party.
This achievement was greater bless
ing to workingmen everywhere than all
the laws for the benefit of labor that
were ever enacted.-lD Dayton Journal

Our SCHOOL TEACHERS are exercising
q potent influence upon the future men
of this country. For hours each day the
minds of our youth are spread out be-
fore them as ready for impressions, more
or less lasting as SO many sheets OF wax.
Is it not through these teachers that any
great reform must be operated? Year
by year crime increases and immortality
becomes more prevalent, although the
pulpit and the press have been working
with much OF their great weight thrown
against the rising tide; but this work has
been directed mainly through the pa
rents and it has not succeeded Why not
now try what can be done through the
teachers? The one eparticularcrimew which
seems to increase most alarmingly is that
of embeZzlement false appropriation. In
most cases the sad history is the same.
A young man, anxious to become rich
and with confused notions as to right and
wrong 6orrOUs money without infom
ing the lender of the fact, and in short
time the money is gone and cannot be
replaced; then follows exposure and dis
grace Corrupt and thOughtless parents
cannot be depended upon, but if every
teacher would exert himself to impress
his pupils constantly with the idea that
surreptitious borrowing, for whatever
purpose, is stealing, is it not possible that
a few might take it to heart who other
wise would become the heroes
of one of those romances of defalcation
which people our State prisons? And ifso
So is not the experiment worth trying?-
