A WOMAN MORTALITY STABBED.
CUTTING AFFRAY BETWEEN FEMALES

One of the most sickening spectacles
that has ever occurred in this city Oc-
Cured last night, at the corner Of Basin
and Common streets. Two young wO-
men, inmates of the disreputable house
of Hattie Hamilton, engaged in a quar-
rel, when one of them suddenly drew a
bowieknife and inflicted upon the other
three dangerous wounds, one of which
it is believed will prove mortal. The
assailant is named Cora Howard, and
the wounded girl Kitty Mead. They
are both recent arrivals in the city, and
are not only yOung-nOt more than Is
years of age-but exceedingly pretty.
One wound is directly through the left
breast, and probably penetrated to the
depth of several inches; one also in the
side and two in the left arm.
The quarrel originated in the attentions
of well known sporting man to Kitty
Mead, of which the girl Cora Howard
saw cause for jealousy. She is a dark
brunette, and when the reporter saw
her last night, inflamed with passion
and excitement, looked the very genius
of evil. The wounded girl is blonde.
The affray occurred in a side room of
the house-chamber in fact. The furni-
ture and appointments of the room are
white, and the blood flowing from the
deep cuts inflicted, spirited over the
Counterpart of the bed, the pillows
and chairs, presenting a spectacle rs
revolving as could possibly be imagined.
The loud screams Of the wounded girl
and fierce anathemas of her assailant
soon drew to the scene every inmate of
the house, and large crowd upon
the street. Finally, the girl broke away
from her assailant and ran screaming
across the street into Levy's restaurant.
She was, a few minutes afterwards, con-
! veyed back to the house and medical
assistance procured. Sergeant. Peter
Joseph arrested Cora Howard and con-
veyed her to the Central Station.
The scene of confusion in the house
beggars description. Women pale from
fright, and with faces horrOr-stricken,
were running from room to room, and
the police in earnest search Ofwitnesses,
made up a Babel rarely witnessed.
The name of the man who caused the
quarrel, and additional particulars, will
be revealed tO-day.-N. @. Rcoyanae.

Reeves the commission to Congress for
the State at large.
The Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred the credentials of the gen.
tlemen claiming to have been elected
Senators from Georgia, in their report
to the Senate to-day, state that the gen
eral assembly of that State,as organized
in 1868, and at the time of the election
of Hill and Miller, contained in each
House, a constitutional quorum OF legal
members. The claimants, Hill, FarroW
and Whitby, have had their political
disabilities removed by acts OF Congress
of July, 1868. Miller never labored I'M
der any political disabilities imposed
by the third section of the XlVth
Amendment, but it IS admitted that he
acted as surgeon in the rebel army
and had given aid to persons in hostil-
ity to the United States, and, therefore,
could not take the oath required by the
act of July, 1862. Miller is not relieved
from taking the oath prescribed by act
of July, 1862, and in the opinion of the
Committee, is not entitled to a seat, and
it follows from the conclusions of the
Committee, as to the proceedings in the
election of Hill and Miller, that neither
Farrow nor Whitby is entitled to seat.
The Committee is of the opinion that
Hill was duly elected by a legislature
having authority to elect a Senator, land
is entitled to take his seat on taking the
oath required by the Constitution and
the laws. All the contestants main
tanned the position before the Commit
tee that the ineligibility or disqualified
ton of individual members of either
House, not sufficiently numerous to
effect it's constitutional quorum, was an
immaterial issue. The majority Of the
Committee agreeing to the report are
Senators Trumbull, Sumner, COnkling
and Carpenter. -s. -...
Senator Thurman agrees with them
that Hill is entitled to take his seat land
holds that Miller is also entitled to take
his seat, on taking the oath prescribed
by the Constitution.
Senators Stewart and Rice, of the mi
nority, say the main question is, Which
election should be held valid, that OF
Hill and Miller, in 1863, or Farrow and
Whitby, in 1870? They hold that no
Congressional act has recognized as le-
gal the organization of the legislature in
1868. They recommend the adoption
of q resolution declaring Farrow and
Whitby elected and entitled to seats.

a victory over the notorious Beast But
Ter, who has all the hatred Of coward
for a brave man; and that Porter was a
gallant officer and Butler just the re-
verse, all the world knows, The tricks
resorted to by Butler to defeat Porter's
confirmation, were worthy of his cum
ming brain and INSCRIPTIONS character.
Not content with lobbying in the Sen
ate, he resorted to manipulating the
least respectable portion of the Radi-
cal press, and manufactured, or caused
to be manufactured, anonymous let
tiers calculated to injure Admiral Porter
in the estimation of the public. In
this, however, he went too far-so far,
in fact, as to produce reaction in Por-
ter's favor, and to make friends for the
Admiral among those who had not
previously regarded him with much
favor. Porter had a perfect ovation
aftef4,is confirmation was known, and
congratulations have poured in upon
him from all parts of the country.
Truly, Beast Buffers powers are on the
Wane.
The Woman Suffrage Convention
which assembled in this city last week,
has adjourned sine die. Beyond con-
verting Beast Butler, nothing was ac-
complished save the pouring forth Of
shallow streams of argument from the

have been in pantaloons, and feeble
declarations from unseXed men, who
should have worn petticoats. That

GRANT AND HIS RELATIONS,

Mr.. Horace Greeley does not disguise
in conversation with others his bitter op-
position to Grant as Presidential candi-
date. The San reports him as saying to
an interviewer:
THERE'S no doubt that there is a very
widespread feeling of dissatisfaction with
the administration among Republicans
My Judgment is that General Grant has
made too many enemies to run-that he
is not the candidate that can be elected.
Therefore it is necessary to have another
candidate. The fact is there is a general
feeling that the Grant family is too large.
Brother-in-law Casey and United States
Marshal Packard have issued an address
to the public, giving their side of the
New Orleans Castom-house convention
story. They say
Narmoth's friends openly boasted that
they would control the convention, no
matter at what cost United States Sem
ator j. r. West, the creature and tool of
warmoth, the only man claiming to be a
Republican who voted with the Democrat
ic Senators against the ratification of the
treaty with Great Britain, proclaimed In
the public streets: We l0iH hare control
of that convention or blood"
The Washington Republican, Grants
personal organ. says sneeringly of the
Radicals opposed to the Presidents re-
nomination
The only trouble with Republicanism
to-day is the trifing trouble with few of
its leaders. Mr. Sumner is sangulnary
and sore Mr. Schurz IS displeased and
dissatisfied. Mr. Greeley does not know
what is the matter with him, but thinks
it is the "one-term principle" and for that
reason believes that another Republican
candidate for President can be selected
who will encounter less opposition and
more support than General Grant" On
the same ground Mr. Greeley would, if he
were alive at the time, have approved the
denomination snd reelection of George
Washington On the same real or pre-
tended ground he was opposed to the re-
election of Abraham Lincoln.

CARPET BAGGERs.

When Greeley returned from his south
ern tour he denounced the carpet -baggers
in terms which they well nerited.
The Springfield Republican, improving
on Greeley's blows, delivers the following;
"They are doing more harm TO the
country to-day than the locust or caterpil-
lar, or any other kindred pest. They are
teaching the less intelligent and discrimi-
mating southern people to despise the
northern people more heartily than ever /;
they are debauehing the freemen; they
are bringing disgrace upon the great re-
publican party and upon the national
government. That their rapacity is insat-
ible and that they steal every penny they
can lay their hands on, are comparatively
trivial counts in the indictment against
them. Yet this constant plundering is q
very serious matter to the communities
which are plundered. 1t means increased
indebtedness and heavier taxation, 1t Is
Just such rascalty that is making the
name of Republican stencil in the south
ern states, and bringing suspicion and
enmity upon honest immigrants. And
matters will not mend much so long as
needy and greedy adventures are appoint
ed to responsible federal Offices, and fell
lowshipped by northern republicans on
the floor of congress-"

IT seems the vote in North Carolina on
the question of Convention was the
heaviest ever cast in that State; it will
foot up nearly one hundred and eighty
thousand The majority against the Con-
vention will be about five thousand
eighty three counties give majority OF
ten thousand two hundred and thirty-one'
but the remaining seven will probably re-
duce this one half One object in calling
a Convention was to effect some arrange
ment with the holders of the enormous
State debt, which the Radical rulers had
contracted, and which the revenues of the
State are inadequate to meet. But the
Convention is defeated, and the people OF
North Carolina must bear the burdens
imposed by Radical rascality until they
can be removed IN some other manner.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1871-08-31

The leaders and organs of the radical
Grant party do not meet the lssues before
the people We have examined their
speeches and articles and find they dodge
the real questions shamefully.
As the party in power are before the
people asking fO= continuance of power
the real issues are those questions involv-
ing their policy. Are their measures of
! public policy the best for the the people ?
Do they give us good and a cheap gov
ernment? Is that government free from
corruption? Is it pure and christian-like
in character in its present hands? Are all
the people equally and properly protected
by the laws? Are the laws fairly and
justly administered? Are the burdens Of
taxation equally and justly assessed upon
the people and economically collected?
The foregoing are the living questions
before US. They involve good government
involve all we have governmental cr-
ganization for If these questions cannot
be answered favorably our government is
a curse instead of a blessing-an oppres-
sor instead of benefactor.
Now, how stands the case? Are the
corruptions of this Grant Administration
not notorious Do they themselves not
admit the necessity of reform in the civil
service? Did not Grant displace ex-Sec-
retary Cox because he bravely and openly
urged reform? If they are right, why does
Ohio, under the Internal taxation system,
pay over sixteen millions and Massachu-
sets only about four and half millions
six dellars head for Ohio and less than
three dollars head for Massachusetts =?
Again, why should Massachusetts, have
seventy-seven millions of National Bank
capital given to her by the law, and Ohio
but sixteen? This illustrates the iniquity
of their infamous system of taxation.
But in the case of the tariff the Unequal
ity is much worse The labor of the west
is oppressed and robbed, while that of the
east is fostered. The salt of the farmer and
pork packer is taxed at least 100 per cent.
while the Yankee fisherman has his salt
tax refunded by the government. No
wonder Arvlne C. Wales, Republican can
didate for Senator in this district. denoun-
ced this salt tax at the farmers festival.
Strange that Mr.. Wales, with his free
trade views will continue to act with the
Republican high tariff party. Mr. Wales
however is National Banker and bond
holder and this may account for it. The
favors extended to these favorites of the
radical leaders are on par with the salt
duty and the internal taxation. 1t is a
part of the system of conferring benefits
upon the favored few and robbing and op-
pressing the labor and business of the
country.
Under these circumstances it is idle to
claim the laws, bad as they are, are fairly
administered. Even Republicans general
ly admit the corruption that prevails Is
it any wonder then that the leaders & or
gans of the party dodge the real issues
and prevaricate so shamefully?

tinuing for FIVE days. 1t will undoubted-
ly by the greatest affair of the kind ever

show that the programme offered by the
Board of Managers, is far ahead of that
offered at their last Far. Thirty-eight
thousand square feet of buildings have
been added, giving ample space to exhib-
itors Dining Halls have been erected
capable of feeding 10000 day A third
track has been laid on the Lake Shore
Railway, capable of keeping an endless
chain of cars moving all the while, thus
being able to move any number of peo-
pie. a.L
One great feature ef the Fair rwlll be its
valuable gallery of Paintings that will be
exhibited. containing. among Others, Ros-
siter's great picture of La Fayette visiting
Washington at Mt. Vernon, also, some
most elegant ones by Bierstadt.
We expect to see all our readers well
represented at the Fair, especially as the
railroads will carry at half fare.
