SOUND. Schenck, who was
defeated for Congress in Ohio by the
democratic and free trade candidate, at
the late election, has recently given
expression of his views on the politi-
cal situation and the agitation of
the Revenue reform movement.
Gen. Schenck does not believe that the
Republican party is to be divided by
an unmeaning dispute about Revenue
Reform. He says that al that is nee
essary to insure the success of the Re
publicans, is for them to oppose excess.
i've duties, and advocate a reasonable
discrimination on the tariff.

SEVEN PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH.
An appalling catastrophe took place
on the night of Friday, the 18th inst,
at point about a mile Glow Eastman
on the Macon & Brunswick railroad
near Augusta Ga On Sa' urday morn
ing two of the employers of a sawmili
in the vicinity, coored men, were mis-
sing and search was made for them
which resulted in finding the cabin in
which they resided a little heap OF
smoking ruins, and on further search
the terrible fact became manifest that
they had persisted in the flames and
not they alone, but two women and
three children, all colored The alarm
being raised, quite crowd from the
section gathered, and in the afterno, n
the Coroner was on the ground and a
jury organized.
Various surmises as to the cause ct
the calamity were made. the common
belief being that the adults had gone
to sleep while in state Of intoxication,
and that the children were either TOO
small or too much stupefed with smok e
to bel p themselves. Not the least sin
gular circumstance connected tn the
tragedy is that the remains of dog
were found among the ruins.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN MISSOURI
A most horrible murder of whole
family. numbering five p srsons. was
committed near Potosi, ON the Iron
Mountain Railroad, il Washington
country, last Saturday. The particulars
are as follows;
John Armstrong and Chas. Jolly
miners, working III the neighborhood,
went to Potosl on Saturday to sell
mineral. They drank freely in town,
and while returning home called at the
cabin of Daniel l4apine, "a French ere
ole. residing a mile aud a half north
of Potosi. While there difficulty a
rose between Armstrong and Jolly. and
a sister of Mrs. Lapine' Mr.. Lapine
interfered to quiet the disturbance
when Jolly drew revolver and shot
the old man four times, kill him in
stantly. Jolly turned upon Mrs. Lap
inc, who had endeavored to prevent
the killing of her husband, knocked
her down with his fist, then shot and
killed her. Armstrong in the mean,
time, bad procured an axe, with which
he knocked down Mrs Laplne's sister
and then completely severed their heads
from their bodies. The two children
were also murdered The men then
fired the cabin, and burned it to the
ground, with the bodies of the butcher
ed people in it. The mu, derers then
fed. and have not yet been captured,
but officers and a large posse of citizens
are in pursuit, and their arrest is re-
gardej as certain.

THE NEW PARTY

The ssteufpted movement among
few dissatisfied Republicans, for the or
gsnization of new party, seems to
have fallen of its own weight, consid
ering that it ever had any. With the
exception of here and there an insig-
nifcant sheet, 10 Republican paper
h.. followed the Chicago 7ribuaes
apostacy, and the most amusing part of
the whole matter is that the democratic
press gives the new party movement
the cold shoulder aud extends to It no
right hand of fellowship. We are all
agreed that revenue reform as we'll az
other kinds, are much needed in the
nation at the present time, but to throw
the reforming power into the hands of
the Sweeneys, Tweeds, Hoffmans and
Woods would be dire mistake, and
would hardly accomplish the objects
sought to be redressei.
The question of protection aud tariff
will be SO regulated by the party now
in the ascendency as to best conduce
to the interests of the entire people
without regard 50 the extreme demands
of any particular section. Any party
that will make either high tariff or no
tariff its corner stone will fnd it diff
cult to carry the masses with it, the
interests of this great country are Sc
diversified. We see no reason why the
Republican party cannot be trusted to
solve out the tariff problem as well as
the other great questions it has so just
ly settled. The people have stil an
mistaken confidence in the principles
which underlie the Republican party,
and on the question of Revenue Re-
form tie country will not look 10 vain
to ii for proper and just solution OF
this rexed question.

Tfas OF MEETING or TIE FoarY


SECOND CoNGREss.-The general im
preston seems..to be that at the next ses
sion of Congress the act compelling
each new Congress to organize on the
4th of March. instead of the first Mon
day in December, will be repealed.
There is difficulty in the way of the
proper organization of the House of
Representatives, from the fact that sew
era, OF the States do not hold elections
for Congress until early in the spring.
Of course these States are unrepresen-
ted in the new House that is, in case
the organization is affected on the 4th
OF March. instead of the first Monday
in December. II will be remembered
that the act now in force was passed at
a time when 1T was necessary that
Congress should be in perpetual ses
sion.

One Of the greatest curlosities in
Racine at present is the old cana
which now lies dismounted in the rear
of the Adsocote office. Scores Of years
have come and gone since this gun was
cast. Away back in the dead past it
figured at Fort Mackinaw, where its
brazen mouth was used to instil respect
into the hearts Of the dusky sons of the
forest but for twenty years or more it
has been in that city. The wheels and
bearings, once so stout and sturdy, no
longer capable Of bearing their accus-
toned burden, erumbled one day, and
the cannon dropped to tie earth, and
lies imbedded there, grim sentinel of
former days.
