The Bangor Wing says Tuesday afternoon as
young man named Joshua L. Tebbetts was
seated in saloon on Exchange street. limo.
thy Clifford came in, walked up to Tebbetts,
and without word drew knife and stabbed
him the right side, making a cash nearly
four inches in length, and deep enough to pen
citrate the outer coat OF the stamach. He then
ran out and made off. He was fighting drunk,
and has long been spotted as dangerous inli-
vdual. The same day he struck John Nc
Donough, without provocation, aud knocked
him down. Clifford cleared out before the po-
lice were informed of his stabbipg Tebbetts,
auu thoush tho aatter waa kent quiet in ord u
to arrest him, he has not been seen in the CITY
since. 1t is not known why he attacked Teb-
belts, as there was provocation whatever.

The Gardiner Journal says, James Capen
who died in Gardioer on the 305h u!t., aged
", was probably the oldest Mason in the
state. He was made Mason in 1906 and
had been member of Hermou Lodge in that
city, from its Incorporation.
The Gardiner journal matches the "Three
Black Crows" story with the following: Last
week young man told us that a young lady
told him, that her fatter told her, that DR..
Hildreth told him, that there were four cases
of smallpox at the New Mills. So, off We
posted to DIR. Hildreth for a frst-class item,
and he told us be never said anything abou
it to the young lady's father, but thtre was

DOOMED MORMONISM.

The disgraceful conclusion OF
mormonism has come sooner tnan
most people anticipated. The leaders
of the poor deluded fanatics from
Brigham Young down to the pet
test of the pseudohierarchy are a
corrupt set Of numbering thieves
who have made the plains OF the
West run red with the gore OF
many an unsuspecting emigrantand
who have been fattening on The Ia
Dor of others for years. To all this,
these villainous knaves have added
an effrontery on the subject OF re-
ligion which has become a scandal
and reproach to the nation. But
Justice, though slow, is always sure
BY q regular and fair course Of Law
and by the aid, too, OF those in
Mormon association, the evil is be-
ing uncovered. The conviction Of
several prominent leaders Of thu
fanatics for adultery, and the find
ing of true bills against others o
the same class, have had q wonderful
effect on the attitude of these PEG
pie. Brigham Young is . faeitlv'
from his harem. His son is q yasa
bond at large on the plains. II;

A GOOD REASON.
WHY DEMOCRATIC EDITOR LEFT THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.


Colonel T. r. Manlove,, an ex-
Confederate soldier and Demo-
cratic editor in Texas, thus gives
his reason for abandoning the
Democratic and joining the Repub-
lican party: .a.s
Cline andexperience have forced
the conviction upon my mind that
Democracy has ceased to be. No
longer animated by those patriotic
impulses which, in other and hap
pier days. achieved SO much in
liberty's behalf, its constituted
leaders have prostituted the cardinal
principal of Republican government
in a mad scramble for place and
power, and, obliyious to the solemn
truth the appeal to arms has been
made and lost, still strive to invoke
from a dead nations tomb the
shadowy, rhantoms Of an irreyocab,e
past. u

"The CoImed Conventionthat as

lima, last month, had sense enough
to let the Presidency alone. 1t did
not attempt to dictate to the repub-
lican party, although our Senator
Pinchback, told the members that
he was in favor of Grant. All the
negroes, it seems, are not reduced
to the conclusion that the country
is gone if Grant is not nominated
to save it. The colored race israther
practical, and Tets out some good
horse sense when it hasits own way.
It's creates. liability to error is
when some mean white man is mis-
leading it for his own purposes"
1t is we'll known that Senator
Pinchback aided If he did not direct

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
THE GENERAL COMMITTEE.

s1.s
Monday night last the conserva-
tive anti-negro hangers on to the
Republican party in the District OF
Columbia did their utmost in the
meeting OF the Republican General
Committee to effect the dissolution
of that committee, in order that an
other might be organized whose
composition would be less black
than that of the present. All OF the
opposition to the present committee
comes from men who did their ut
most to prevent the giving to a,
colered man any position above
that of scavenger. ..rs a1t
That there has been a determined
effort on the part of the white
people of the District of Columbia
to deprive the black voter Oh the
District Of the power and influence
he exerts by the use of the ballot
cannot truthfully be denied. Be
cause OF the weight of the colored
vote here Offices that have hereto
fore been elective have been made
appointive, and the black man in
this District has no vote by any
enactment of the law making power
of the District.
We repeat it, that because OF the
very evident disposition ON the
par of colored men to choose from
among their own number few OF
the officers of the District, the
elective franchise here, in 50 far rs
the District government had Tire
power, WAS denied to all. The ap

THE MEETING TO CONDEMN
LAWI.ESSNESS.

w 1"oHSu eo-u"y VII, SiSned
by number Of leading citizens, for
4 general meeting Of the citizens Of
The parish, to be held at the Court.
house in this place next Saturday.
A great many more have signed
this call, in remote parts of the
parish, but the lists of their names
did not reach this Office in time for
publication.
This y a step. taken in the right
direction. The law heretofore has
failed to reach the bands of assas.
sins mentioned in the call for the
meeting, and it behooves all the re.
spectacle, peaceable and law-abidins
citizens in that parish to assemble
together and condemn the assassins
and show the world that these
stealers of human life are not
shielded from justice by the general
public sentiment. The meeting
should go further, If possible, and
adopt some measure to bring the
criminals to justice. The property
owners of this parish had better Of
,ier rewards and employ professional
detectives, out OF their own pockets
than have immigration kept out Of
the parish, and the labor that they
already have, driven away.
But there is another view Of The
case. Martial law has been declared
in South Carolina, and hundreds Of
citizens arrested and thrown into
prison; hundreds OF others are re.
fugees from their homes. In this
State, as will be seen by an article
which we reproduce from the New
Orleans Times, several citizens have
been arrested in the parish of Grant
by the L. S. Marshal and imprison-
ed in New Orleans. Now, if the
lawlessness that has existed so long
in this parish should continue, We
cannot expect to escape similar
visitctions. II il continues We are
bound to have martial law, and
troops qIarterei upon us, and de-
tectives among us. II only the
guilty should suffer, there could be
no objection to these :hI"gs. But
in the confusion that woald eEsio
some that are innOce 1t would also
suffer, and business generally woAtd
be injured aud labor deinoIalzed'
The remedy therefore for tbs
lawlossness should be applied BY
orr own citizens. When they 1--we
lone their utmost and cannot stop
It, then they should ask for martial
law and troops. The longer The
evil continues TIE stronger Will have
, to be the remedy applet to ehtc~
it. Ii we do not check it, the rcd
, eral Government Will.
Those who attend the meeting
, will show that they are on the slo'
, of law and order, and we hope that
the number will be large. Other
meetings may follow and III ',''
; way a public sentiment may 20
created strong enought to chech '",'
overgrown lawlessness, without H''''
tary Intervention.
