SOUTHERN RADICALS.

The scenes enacted yesterday at the
Opera House by the Radicals are enough
to justify all that has ever been said anc
written about the party. We wish the
New England fanatics, who labored fol
years and deluged the land in the blood
of white men that the negro might be
called freedman, could have been pres
ent. The conduct OF the colored bullies
and hooters indicates that the race has
been making rapid progress backward
in the ways Of civilization since Lin
coins proclamation. The Convention
was little less than mob. The widest
confusion prevailed; dozen persons
claimed the floor at .he same time, and
all order, decency and deeorum were out
of the question. 1t is to be regretted
that Horace Greeley was not present.
That agrieulturist and champion of free
dom has been at st. Louis this week at
tending the fair, where he read an ad-
dress OF immense length and dryness,
TO the reporters on the stand and few
others around who colld not get away,
TO tell what he knows about farming
Could he have only extended his trip
down this far, and been at the Conyen-
ton yesterday, he would have learned
several things not TO be found out in
st. Louis or New York. Imagine the
white-coated philosopher adjusting his
spectacles in the Greenlaw Opera
House to witness the proceedings of
yesterday of those he fondly hoped
TO see become digni6ed statesmen like
himself. What a fall there would be
of his countenaneo, and what deep
and lasting disappointment would
have entered his heart. The Re-
pubIicans and their leaders in the North
are a different class Of people from the
party South. There they may represent
wealth, intelligence and social position;
here they represent ignorance, malice
and the depths Of that poverty which
comes Of thriftless habits and positive
distaste for work. The negroes are kept
organized and constantly stirred by men
of more or less shrewdness, but inva-
riable recklessness, who expect to be
hoisted into office on the shoulders Of
the silly negro race IT is no wonder
then that the land owners, large and
small, the tax payers the educated classes,
and the noble hard-6sted working classes
sincerely despise the very name Of Rsdi-
cal True, our people are conservative
and prudent, and keep their opinions to
themselves often for the sake Of peace and
harmony. This course is proper under
the circumstances, for when a Southern
man dares TO protest against the domi-
nation Of the unprincipled carpet-bag-
ger, it is set down at once as evidence Of
disloyaliy in the South. We are. practi-
cally, as loyal people as ever lived and
expect yet to be fairly represented in
Congress by ourown citizens, who will sup
port the true constitution Of our fathers
oppose the land grabbing rings, the
outrageous tariff, and 81 unfair taxation.
The best evidence required to prove that
the negro is pliable, silly and easily
manipulated, was presented yesterday
when a dozen or less white men con

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Bear in Mind.-When disease has under
mined the health, and the physical system has
become prostrated. stimulant that viii not
only strengthen, but remove the cause. should
be Immediately resorted to. Mental distress
is also fruitful source Of the breaking down
of the constitution, and the rayages of this
enemy to health are truly alarming. For all
such maladies Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have been found unsurpassed. BY acting
directly upon the digestive organs, they re-
move the heavy. disagreeable feeling after
eating, so often complained of by persons Of a
delicate temperament. As soon as digestion
| is restored, the patient finds his strength in
creasing, and his general health improved.
Thousands Of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases Of weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of bitters are so disagreeable to the
taste that they are Objectionable to a weak
stomach. This is not the ease with Hostetter's
Bitters. which win be found mild and ex-
tremely pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and
roots contribute their restorative juices to
render II soothing and strengthening. Its
basis is the only pure stimulant which. has
ever been produced. containing no tusH OIL, or
any other deleterious element, The most
careful and skillful chemists have analysed
the Bitters. and pronounce them harmless.
This is scientific testimony; but the testimony
4 Of the hundreds Of thousands who have expe-
rienced the preventive and curative effects Of

modern times is still more conclusive. In

days and required the assistance of her moth
err during the night. The mother otup, dressed
! herself, and was in the act of dressing her
feet when her husband went behind her and
with his left hand pressed back her head, and
with his right hand, in which was a razor,
which he had wound with Irvine for the pur-
pose, cut her throat from ear to ear and cut
| his own with the same instrument. The wife
expired without word, almost instantly. The
husband was not successful, although he
drew the razor twice across his throat. The
wound was sewedup by physician and he was
put under keepers until Tuesday when he
was taken to the Jail at Exeter to await his
trial in October. The wife was taken to the
Methodist Church on Monday A. M, where
an address made by Rev Mr.. Flood, as
sisted by Baptist minister, and the body
taken to the tomb, there to remain until her
son can make arrangements for final resting
place. The daughter was able to attend the
funeral and is improving.
The two youngest brothers were near when
the deed was done, and run from the house
with their sick sister. She ran across the
street in her night clothes, to my house, and
stood upon the cold stone steps until her cries
of murder awoke my family and she was let
in with her brothers. The oldest brother
came from Newburyport on the evening of
the murder and is still here, but will leave as
soon as he gets through his business.
The sons and daughter of the murdered
mother are feeling keenly the loss OF that
dear one who was cruelty murdered by one
who should have been her best friend and
protector. The cause OF the murder seems
to have been jealousy. The man says his
wife was with other men, but / have not seen
nor heard any one say that she had ever been
seen with any man other than her husband.
Mr.. Jones was not a believer in the Bible and
did not want his wife to attend meetings nor
read the Bible, but she did so occasionally, land
a Bible which her son and daughter say she
purchased herself many years ago, she
read when her husband was not in the house,
to her children. She had turned downleaves
on pages which she regarded highly. This
Bible Rev. Mr.. Flood exhibited at the funeral.
An infdel work which Jones brought from
California was found in the house after his
removal from the house. Marshall, the
SON. and his sister feel an additional grief
on account of the fathers talk about their
mothers character, and the son wished me to
write you with the request that you will write
upon paper your opinion of the mothers
character and obtain the signatures of those
who know her best land send the same to
Marshall Eliza or myself, at Newmarket, box
l29 BY so doing you will confer great favor
upon those who are mournin ing the loss of muir
dered mother whom they loved and now wish
to vindicate her character.
Respectfully yours,
J. F. DEMERITT.

Brutal Murder.


DEAR JOURNAL Il give you the particulars
of brutal murder which was committed in
Newmarket, n. H., on the 4th inst. A man
named Hiram Jones, formerly of Somerville,
in this State, murdered his wife by cutting her
throat with a razor, and then made an attempt
on his own life, but did not succeed. am well
acquainted with the family. He has four
children, the oldest, a very steady and indus
trious young man at the age of u years. This
boy, by former deed given to him when he
was but two years old, by his father, to keep
the same from creditors, came into possession
of the farm in Somerville. He has other
children Jones has not lived on the best
terms with his wife for about twelve years, on
account of jealousy. About year ago last
March, he left his wife and went to California.
Soon after, his wife and two youngest children
went to Newmarket where Mrs. j. boarded
herself and children. Sometime last winter
Jones returned from California, where he re-
manned with his family in Newmarket for two
or three weeks, when he again started for CAL
ifornia but in about two months returned again
to Newmarket where he remained until he
murdered his wife. l will give you the con-
tents of part Of letter which saw last night,

city has given within three years, towards the
erection of the church in which he breaches,
$1,000, or about one-ffth of his salary, during
the above period. And one of his parishion-
ers has contributed for the same purpose the
sum of s2500, or about one-quarter of the
entire valuation of his real and personal es

people has been fruitful of good results

1t would seem hard job to many to re-
move Williams brick block, on Water street,
from its foundations and fairly hoist it one
story higher. But this could be done with
the greatest ease. Repairing and renovatng
buildings has grown to be science that is
developing itself to the establishment of many
old fogy mechanics who are cemented into the
ideas of the past, when it was thought a
wonderful feat to move barn. Brick build
ings are now handled with the same case and
safety and with about as little expense as
wooden ones.
