could not marry her lie had made his will, and
lett her a handsome legacy. Mrs. Banks was

FATE OF A MUROBRER.-The dead BODY OF a
man has recently been found in Bland county
supposed by some TO be the remains OF Suffer
who was charged with the murder OF a Miss
Bales, OF that county, and who, it was thought,
also murdered Mrs. HedTick, OF this county
When last heard OF he was endeavOring to elude
arrest for the last named crime. He was sew
eral times shot al by his pursuers and il il
thought possible that he may have laid down in
the brush and died from the effects OF wounds
thus received. Both the murders OF which he
Is believed to have been guilty were OF the most
brutal character, and il is 10 be hoped that the
conjecture in regard TO his death NAV be cor

tary, In campaign circular makes the follow
ing statement in regard to Hassaureks offer of
sale
During the early part of August two Ohio re-
pu5licans, known as active politicians, appeared
In Washington and urged, with all the influence
they could bring to bear, that the republican
conaNttee should aid in raising x15, 600 to be
paid to Editor Hassaurek. They stated that the
latter had some time before offered his services
as speaker on behalf of Grant and Wilson with
The influence OF the Volks-Blatt thrown in for
the sum Oh $50 900. 1t was also understood tn ar
a stated number or copies of the Volks- Blatt
were to be circulate gratuitOusly. After con-
siderable pickering the amount had been re-
duced one half, and this our Ohio friends
acting for themselves, undertook to raise The
Washington managers, who act for their party
k at all, al once declared they were not In that
bSsiness;purchaseds services were ALWAYS untrust-
worthy. New York was then made the field of
effeTt, and Ii is understood that private parties
offered to guarantee $500 monthly for four
MONKS, making sic 600 in all. Again an attempt
was made to induce the Washington nomn tee

Hassaurek required for his valuable services

Will Oil and Water Mix.

The nomination of Mr.. Greeley
by the Baltimore Convention was
followed by the mission of those tt
whom was entrusted the duty Of in
forming him of that fact. In res
ponse to the notification conveyed by
Mr.. Doolittle, Mr.. Greeley expressed
himself as follows:
I should need time were I to at
tempt to reply, fifty and fully to this
important and l need not say graft
fying communication. 1t may bethat
Ishould reply in writing, but as ]
have lately addressed a letter which
has been pretty widely considered to
the Liberal Republican Convention
it cannot be necessary, and can only
say now, that accept your nomina-
tion-accept it gratefully, and in the
same spirit in which it was offered.
TCheers, l am at present in a posi-
ton '6hich doubtless many would
regard as a proud one, and which is
still an embarrassing one, because ii
involves the temporary, and I trust
the only annoyance of a miscon-
structlon of my motives on the part
of some valued and life long friende.
I am confident that time alone is ne
cessary to vindicate my motives to
all candid observers, andto convince
all, indeed, Of the disinteredpess and

ing, and intended to pursue, long be-
fore was assured of so much coop
Grafton and sympathy Cheers. ]
The time will come and 1 trust in
good opportunity too, when the
world will see that goa are no less
Democrats because you haze pursued
the course yOU haze, and that I am
no less a Republican because I Gc-
cepted your nomination Cheers.
The clause of his speech given in
Italics is rather remarkable, and
shows the strait to which the De-
mocracy are reduced, in swallowing
him. He virtually claims that he
has given up nothing of his Repub-
licanism, while admitting they have
not departed from their Democracy.
As the two are as antagonistic in
principle as oil and water, "can they
mix?" becomes a question for every
Democrat, and proposed Liberal Re-
publican to ponder, and to Demo
Gratis it may become a question, as
Greeley still remains what he was
whether he still regards them as
"Morally Rotten"
"Given up in great measure to de
bauchery and vice"
"Keepers of the policy offices
gambling houses, grog-shops, anC
darker dens of infamy."
"Lovers of Rum and Haters o
Niggers."
With whom ''to smoke is virtue
to chew is that intensified, and tt
drink rum is that virtue in the su

EVERY LITTLE while the Demo
cratic press, or more properly now
the Dolly Warden press, get hard up,
and then they are sure to 60 to work
abusing Grant because he goes to
Long Branch for little recreation,
and yet not a single duty pertaining
to his office remains undone. Now
that they have identified themselves
with Greeley and Brown, it may be
but natural to expect them to turn
their batteries against B. Gratz, who
has left his official dutiess of Gov
ernor of Missouri, and gone hob
nobbing with Tammany, while out
RACES upon inofensive teachers and
driving them from their homes un-
der threats of death, if they return,
have become every day occurrences.
The st. Louis Democrat, referring to
the absence of the Liberal candidate
for the Vice Presidency, says:
"What matters it through two
hundred murderers-the Govornor's
grateful constituents-defy the laws
he was sworn to execute, so long as
with blood stained hands they toss
their hats for Greeley and Brown?
Why should anybody care for Gala
hans bruised and lacerated back so
long as his masked prosecutors are
sound Liberals or passive Democrats
What business has the poor devil
to be school master and Radical
the two things of all others most
hateful to Governor Browns consti-
tuents in Reynolds CountyP'
A pretty spectacle we have in Mis-
souri, to-day, truly! The Chief Ex-
ecutive running away from his pres
sing duties for pleasure or politics,
while the citizens of the State fee
ing from their homes, come to St.
Louis to invoke the protection of the
federal authorities! How long is
our State to be thus disgraced?
When the Cass county murders were
perpetrated, we had positive assur-
ance from Governor Brown himself,
and from the Republican, that ener-
getic and efficient measures had
been devised for the detection and
punishment of the outlaws, many of
whom were known to the civil au-
thorities, and all Of whom have re-
manned at their homes unaccused
and unarrested to this day. The
offer of reward Of $3.50 for their ap-
prehension excited derision, and was
not expected to result in their arrest.
The sum named would have been
contemplate if offered for the cap
ture of a horse thief. We feel i'm
PEELED once more, without much hope
we must admit, to call upon the Gov
eruor to make some honest effort to
secure the enforcement of our State
laws, or to candidly confess his i'm
becility, and invoke the aid of the
Federal authorities" )"
To be honest they should at once
repudiate B. Gratz.

WE regret to learn that there is a
movement on foot to try and substi-
tute some other candidate for Con
gress in this district, instead Of the
Hon. Chas. Foster. We believe the
people of the district are generally
satisfied with the manner in which
Mr., Foster has performed his duty,
as Congressman, and would be glad
to see him again returned, as he
doubtless win be. The contest il
the district is likely to be a close
one, and we know Of no one who
will be able to concentrate the vote
more 1ully than he.
