WEALTHY FARMER or WILLIAMSON
COUNTY THE VICTIM.
from the Csrbondsle New Era, AZ
Another OF these deeds Of blood which
disgrace the annals of our portion Of the
state occurred yesterday morning at Eight
Mile Prairie. Williamson county, ave
miles east Of the city. Mr.. james Myers
II wealthy farmer, about fifty ycars of age,
was engaged hauling rails with which 10
repair fence. He had made several trips
~ his rail Pile and about 10 o'clock his
team walked to his house and stopped
near the front door. Some Of the family,
thinking something amiss, went TO the wae::
on and found Myers lying on the hounds,
weltering In his own blood. He was in
full possession Of his senses when taken
into the house, and informed his wife that
whilr passing through the lane near the
house a gui was fred from behind a
lhicket, the charge Of buckshot entering
his right side and breast. The wound is
very severe, and believed to be fatal. DR..
Lawrence, Of this city, was at once sent
for and went to the assistance Of the suf-
ferer.
N. B.-As our paper is going to press
we lean that Mr.. Myers died Of his
wounds.

THE mass meeting at Lincoln Hall,

the progress of those magnificent improve
ments which are redeeming the National
Capital from the squalor and insigniacance
which disgraced it before the war. He
defended the Board of Public Works and the
Board Of Health as honest, patriotic and
sagacious men whom posterity would re-
member with gratitude. The glory of the
city of Washington, the brightest gem of all
the cities of the continent, would light up
the temple of their fame. That we are

A SPECIAL telegram last night brought the
news that the Radicals of the Eighth district
had nominated Major Edward Daniels, editor OF
the STATE JOURNAL of this city, for Congress.
The nomination is made with q view only 10
preventing the patronage of the district from
falling into the hands of the ex-Uonfederates
who have Joined the Radicals, in case Grant is
reelected. General Eppa Hunton will sweep
the Eighth district by 5000 majority Dispatch.
In the absence of the managing editor of
the JOURNAL, we clip the above paragraph
from our contemporary of this morning in
order to say that, should the " Major "
take the stump in the Eighth, the 8 Gen.
eral will have his hands full to broom up
any $4,000 majority" in that district.
But one thing is certain, that while the
campaign will be conducted without any
acrimony, bitterness, or ohensive personal-
ties on the part of Colonel Daniels, princi-
Piles will be made red hot before the fight
is through with. OF course, it is understood
that the district is strongly against us, but
with full, far, open and manly discussion
of all the questions now legitimately before
the country, we are not so sure that GEN
eral Eppa Hunton would come out OF the
fight with any laurels to boast Of. But
with appeals made to the prejudices which
prevail in many portions Of the State
against men of Northern birth, no matter
how closely and intimately they may have
identified themselves with the future Of
the State, there is less certainty as to what
the result will be. But whatever it may
be, we predict lively little campaign in
the Eighth district from this time forth un.
til the fifth of November, when there will
be time enough for the Dispatch to figure
up Horace Greeley's overwhelming defeat,
and the narrow escape of General Hunton
from disastrous rout on the line Of the
Potomac.

THE FEDERAL PATRONAGE

The canvass which is now progressing
presents the remarkable feature of great
party on the eve of most important cleo
ton, voluntarily resigning one of its most
powerful weapons in the interest of good
government, and Of the whole people. The
Federal patronage, of whose potency so
much has been said as means of carrying
elections has been in great measure put
out of the hands of partisan dispensation.
No fair.minded man can fail to see that the
vast reduction in the number of officers in
the revenue service, which takes place in a
few days, is surrender of power which
might be used to influence votes. Yet these
measures have been undertaken at most
critical period, when it has been customary
for political party to husband all its re-
sources, and retain every man in position
which it could. Moreover, General Grant
has openly announced that the public offices
will not be the reward of party work. and
that no collections of funds for electioneer-
ing purposes will be permitted, except as
voluntary contributions. @
The result of these announcements are
already seen in the apathy which prevails
in many of the departments of the public
service as to doing any party work. The
amount of money contributed by office
holders will be much less than ever before.
The vast sums of money which Republic
cans are reputed to be spending exist only
in Imagination. No canvass made during
the last thirty years has been fought with
SO little aid from money or official patron
age. General Grant and the Republican
party may justly claim credit for gree
of magnanimity unexanpled in modern pol
tiles. They have voluntarily stripped them
selves of important political powers that
there might be no undue influence exerted
upon the people. They have largely cut
down the number of officers, and taken
away all improper pressure upon those
who remain. They have opened the civil
service to fair competition, and thus ena-
bled the most capable men and women of
the country to secure places in it without
active partisan effort as an equivalent for
honesty and capacity. These are facts
which appeal to the candid judgment of
the country, and effectually silence the
baseless accusations of the lavish use of mo-
ney and official patronage to reflect Gene
raj Grant.

THE Lynchburg Press lays before its
readers a life-like portrait of our invincible
candidate UlysessS. Grant-from the pen
of Colonel Robert w. Hughes, Republican
candidate for Congress in the Ninth dis
trict, which for elegance of diction and
terseness of narration has never been sur
passed by that accomplished author, Of
whom it may be truly said-'she touches
nothing he does not ornament" Familiar
as we are with the historic facts in the life
and career Of the great General, the pre-
scntation Of these facts in the article to
which we refer, is comparable only to the
impression produced by the artistic group
ing of glowing gems in their finished set
ting, as contrasted with the same stones
unset. But as the gem itself acquires no
additional value from the setting, so the
facts so eloquently set forth by Colonel
Hughes are Of equal value in the estimate
placed upon them by grateful people when
presented in the everyday life Of our present,
and coming President life which has en-
deared him to every honest patriot, from
the st. Croix to the Rio Grande, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and which has
commanded the respect of every civilized
nation abroad. @

THE O'Conor Central Committee has
issued an address declaring that their
watchword is not " anything to beat
Grant," but anything to prevent Greeley
from beating and destroying the Democratic
party. Grants election, it says, would be
less a calamity than that of Greeley, and,
If the former is chosen, the calamity rests
on the Baltimore Convention, which refused
