FATAL AFFRAY.-The Mariposa Free Press
of last week gives the particulars Of killing
as follows:
Last Friday evening, about dusk, John r.
Hite, Joseph Shumate aud two other men
were engaged in conversation in front OF
Schlageter's Hotel, when C. man by the
name of G. w. Smith, Familiarity known as

turning. Shumate addressed him end repeated
the request, finally pushing CIR striking him.
During the scuffie Smith drew knife and
cut at both Hite and Shumate, stabbinc the
latter in the abdomen, and cutting through
Hite's clothes, barely scratching the skin.
Shuuate drew pistol and was about to shoot
Smith, but Hite wrested the weapon from
his hand at the same time saying to Smith :
"You have cut me you old scoundrel, and
only for your gray hairs would shoot you. F."
At that time neither himself nor Shumate
were aware of the wound ofthe latter. Upon
subsequent examination it was found that he
bad received a stab about two inches below

became apparent. Doctors Turner and Bed
ford were summoned to attend him, and

The late elections in Pennsylvania and In
diana have resulted in q material gain for the
democracy. In Pennsylvania the democrats
are reported to have elected thirteen of the
twenty-fou Congressman Of that State being
a gain of Ave over the representation in the
present Congress. In Ohio, Schenck who
has taken the lead in the House Of R.presen-
tives for the radicals has been defeated, but
with the news Of his defeat comes a report
that the election Of Campbell who beat him,
will be contested in the House, which means
if the radicals do not change their former
ways that radical Congress will determine
who shall represent certain districts, without
regard to the expressed wishes of the people.
Indiana has come out of the fight with a clear
democratic majority in the State Legislature,
which will ensure the election Of democrat
to the U. s. Senate in the event Of Senator
Morton filing the position of Minister to
England. This change in the political COM
plexion of Indiana will probably deprive the
British Government of holding diplomatic re-
relations with Mr.. Morton, although he pub
licly announced lis acceptance of that mis-
sion prior to the election. The election had
especial reference to the choice of his success
sor to the Senate, but radical rule will set
the voice of the people aside. and Morton will
continue o. S. Senator after having virtually
resigned by accepting another position. Voor.
bees who was turned out of the last Congress
on a trumpted up contest has been elected, he
is representative man, a sound democrat, ell.
oquent, fearless and outspoken. As yet there
is no report of bis seat being contested. The
election of Voorhees, and defeat of Schenck is
cause of congratulation for democrats and
is another indication of the advance that dem
ocratic principles are making against the
combined power CT selfshness, corruption and
fraud, which seems to 60 hand in hand with
the measures and acts of the party now con-
trolling the government of the country. The
defeat of Schenck is forerunner of the de.
feat in store for the party of which he has
been such brightand shining light. The Fif
teenth Amendment and the negro vote cannot
save this party in the future from disaster.
1t is DOSING ground in every State and by the
time another Presidential election rolls around
in 1872, it will be generally repudiated by
the American people.

be done by the people, whose acts will
outlive any government. Arrangements
have been made by Mrs Galloway, Pres

have persons passed here and back on
our railroads for half fare. Gather the
white and red roses, make them into
