Two miles from Shady Run. down ravine lead
mo into Blue Canon; one of the most lonely
nlsces to be found in the country, where he
had labored, toiled, and saved his earnings for
The last twenty years. He was eccentric and
berihit-like, but honest, industrious and we'll
liked by all his acquantances; He is supposed
to have saved, and had about his premises,
one or two thousand dollars, and for this he was
doubtless murdered. He had valuable property
in Pennsylvania. He was shot twice and stabbed
number of times, and from all appearances it
was d-blooded horrible and brutal murder.
Since the above was in type we learn that
officers have arrested young man charged with
the murder, who was to have had an examina-
ton at Dutch Flat yesterday. The evidence is
only circumstantial, and we prefer not to give
rumors on so grave matter.

press my gratitude. The distinction Is one which
feel so to be IN great measure
and yet should your action be confirmed, shall
endeavor to discharge the duties OF that high place
public interest and with lnGexble resolution to
prove not unworthy OF such choice The fact that 1t
reposes also upon the declaration Of principles az

proclaimed without amendment by the democratic
party at Baltimore, gives assurance that
only the deliverance Of the nation from a present
great peril to Its peace and liberties TO that end
all minor considerations have been subordnated,
selfish patriotism rather than any sticking FOR party
advantage, which should conynce all Of the perfect

To General c. p STONE, Chief Of Staff
GENERAL-On the evening of the 10Th instant, be-
ing late in the city, myself and two officers Colonel
Aick Reynolds and Major Campbell, dned together.
After we had dlned and on passing out We sa.uted,
in the poitest manner possible, Mr.. Butler, the
Consul General of the United States, who was din
ing in the same saloon. We had all passed into the
street when the Consul General, Mr.. Butler called
repeatedly to Major Campbell, In the most extra
ordinary and ofYensive manner. The Major turned
towards M Butler 70 learn The cause of his trouble,
dnd asked why he addressed him in 80 offensive
manner. The Consul said to him, ~ wish to see
you, SIR and, rising from his chair, rushed upon
the Major, inficting blows, which were returned.
At the outset and before Butler had left his seat
man by the name Of wadlegh, the companion and
employe of the Consul seated near him at the same
table, rose simultaneously with him, drawing his
pistol at the same time and exclalmlng, LET US

After that which have related, and believing the

then with him, TO take the life Of Major Campbell,
went to the office of the Chief Of Police to find out
If there was any possibility OF having the assassins
arrested The Consul followed me to the office
with these men, and here refused to allow the ar

wadleigh stepped back slightly in the rear OF Mr..
Butler and put his hand upon his pistol, evidently
with the intention OF drawing It, but was prevented
by the police present. then asked not only that
he be arrested but that he should be placed IN
irons. At this stage Butler said that he would ar.
rest him and be responsible for him, but could not
put his friend In irons. These are the facts breny

called at these headquarters yesterday, and gave
natterng and rosecOlOred reports OF the prospects
Of the republicans in the different States where
they hailed from. Mr.. Noble II. Hurrion, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, Is confident that his State will give
q sweeping majority in November, estimating
1t as high as $4,000. The detection to Greeley
is not serious as 1t will prove to be when
the election day comes to hand. gentle.
man from Illinois feels confident that Grant will
carry the State, but did not fix any majority evi-
dictions might be falsihed. Advices recently re-
ce1ved from Florida emphaticay deny that Greeley
has any chance OF success in that remote southern
region, the republican party being at the present
time exceptionally strong. The State is said to be
all right lor Grant in November.
The other visitors are all equally sangune In
their antlcpatOns poOh-pOOhing the liberal move
ment and afeCtlng to despise its influence. How
remains to be seen. TO be such slight thing the
liberal movement has been great source OF
trouble to them, and when the first news came
from North Carolina genuine terror took the place
OF affected uncOncern The general mistake both
the friends Of the administration and its enemies
make is to affect to underrate the respective
strength OF their opponents, which is very unwlse
as each IS likely to make strong fight.
The Secretary of the Veterans Committee has still
his hands full In attending to the numerous re-
sponses the call for the gathering at Pttsburg on
the 18th has brought forth. The only drawback Is
that some OF the prominent signers have disowned
all connection with the undertaking, stating that
their names have been used In an unwarran table
manner.
