a MURDER AT CHURCH. "A difficulty
lately occurred at Oakley, ILL.,, between
two young men, Benjamin Mussleman
and Henry Forrest. A few evenings af-
ter, they both CHANGED to meet at a school
house where religious services were being
held, and the alteration was renewed be-
fore they went into the meeting. At its
close and while coming out young man
named Walton, comrade of Forrest.
handed the latter knife with which he
struck at Mussleman, who threw up his
arm to avert the blow, thereby receiving
severe cut in the right wrist from which
the weapon glanced and struck him in
the forehead. Forrest followed up the
blow until he had inflicted two stabs in
Mussleman's side, who sank down saying
that they had killed him. and died
soon after. The two muiderers then took
the first horses they could find and start
ed TO make their escape. They were pur-
sued, however, by four of the citizens,
armed and mounted, and arrested, hav-
ing in their possession, revolver, pair
OF brass knuckles and the knife with
which they murdered Mussleman. Nei.
Their of them is yet 81 years old.

HENRY WILSON AT WASHINGTON
Senator Wilson occupies the same rooms
that he has for many years past, at the
well-known Washington house, formerly
called the Indian Queen" The sena.
tor has occupied the same rooms ever
since he first came to the Senate in 1925.
This hotel which has been his Washing
ton home for about seventeen years, was
also the favorite quarters of ex-senator
Wade. Somehow il grew to be the abid-
ing place in the old days when the feder-
al city was almost hostile territory, and
North and South were encamped therein.
4" Browns" now the Metropolitan, was
the headquarters of the extreme south
ern wing, while the National, patronized
so long by Henry Clay, grew to be re-
garded as the compromise resort. Will
lard's was then, as afterward, general
caravansary. Everybody, good, bad or
went there who only came
for flying visit of either business or
pleasure. The free-soilers, liberty par
tyites and men of that ilk, of course be-
came clannish. They were so small in
number that necessity made them fuse,
if nothing else. / remember in the DIRE
airy winter months preceding, and that
spring-time of terrible tension which ush
cred in the rebellion, that in this hotel
one was sure to hear outspokeE northern
sentiment, and be comforted by loyal
expressions. Mr.. Wilson's quarters are
pleasant, overlooking the avenue, bright
with gaslight, warm with an open fire,
and very tasty and cheerful with fresh
wallpaper ofpearly ground, relieved by
a small gold figure. 1t is wholly unnec-
essary to sketch Mr.. Wilson's appear

o the American people, was forcibly

There is another Ku-Klux fright in

them that the government is in earnest
in the work of suppressing their rebel

A KU-KLUx Runs AwAY.-At the
opening of the court at Columbia, S. c.,
on Monday, for the trial of members of
the ku-klux organization, DR.. E. p. Az
cry, the defendant, was found to be alb
sent. The prosecution proceeded with
the rebu ting evidence, and called atten-
ton to Avery's absence. The counsel
for the defense said that Avery had gone
to York county to visit his family, and
that it was understood that he would re-
turn by the next train. Judge Bond
wanted to know of McMaster, the coun-
sci for the defendant, where his client
was. McMaster said he hoped the court
would excuse him from answering, the
judge ordered McMaster to show cause
why his name should not be stricken off
the roll of attorneys. The court signed
an order for the forfeiture of the prison
er's bail, and issued a writ of scire facias
returnable on Wednesday. District At
torney Corbin asked time to consider
whether the case should go to the jury

the amount of $4,000 The general i'm

his conviction was inevitable, has abb

Louisville Courier-JoarndE has abused it
self, has abused its readers, has abused
the State Of Louisiana, and done injustice
to the truth. We protest against being
made the victims of such constant prevari-
cations and misrepresentation, because
they do no good to their authors, they dis
credit the press as a reliable informant,
and they create an al ominably erroneous
impression concerning US abroad. We
have our troubles, it is trues and misfor-
tunes seem to befall US as they do other
people, but we are not the intense suffer
ers that our energetic sympathizers make
US out to be; We have a government that
the people made, just as the people
Of Kentucky have, and if we were not
slandered so much, we might have more
money and q greater food of prosperity.
We, therefore, beg to be left alone. Those
who can not say q good word for US, if
they are friendly, will say nothing.

A caucus was held yesterday Of the re-.

determined to do what the sensible ones
who did not go determined upon several
Gays ago. viz: that the recognition Of the
new State government is essential to the
safety and we'll being Of the community.
The more positive and most interested. we
are glad to say, did not mince this great

necessity Of bowling gracefully to the in

SUPPOSE THUS AND so.

Before the election in November the
Picayqtne called attention with frequent
and judicial severity to the fact that the
the law of Congress was accepted as
reliance of this people" for a fair cleo
ton against the frauds which were sug-
gestable under the State laws How the
reformers proposed to utilize the federal
law they never let out, butt is presumable
that if they really relied upon that statute
as they pretended to do, their plan Of pro-
ceedings contemplated the interference Of
the United States courts. They could not
have arrested q single movement of the
State authorities by going before . State
court with that federal statute,
and they never proposed to make
the attempt, but they did intend
to go before Judge Durell to secure a fair
poll and a. fair count is evidenced by their
alacrity in applying to him for the selec-
ton Of supervisors. II, then, they had
not formed the treaty that made them mas
ters Of the registers and election judges,
they would have been as willing as the Re
publieans are to recognize Judge DurelIs
authority to enforce the purity Of the
ballot box, albeit in doing SO he might
have been forced to declare that Jack |
Wharton was not a proper officer to make
returns of the votes cast throughout the |

THE RIGHTS OF A PREF PRESS.

The failure of the New Orleans Times, al
a business speculation, has afforded al
opportunity for the escape of a vas
| amount Of sentiment about the rights Of {
free press, The position is evidently as
stunned that the federal or the State gov.
eminent or the Republican party, or some
other influence or agency hostile to the
old rebel element has laid the hand OF
| tyrannical power upon the Times estab-
lishment because it stood in the way OF
some plans for the future which are of ques-
| tionable honesty And feeble hue and
| cry has been raised in behalf of the inner
ent right of a free press to live, apparently
with the expectation of arousing the pub
lie indignation against those who laid
violent hands upon the Times establish
ment because its acknowledged proprietor
eitheg could Lot or would not pay lis
debtso
Now we have nothing to say against the
abstract right Of every man to publish q
paper, free or otherwise, or indulge in any
other luxury, SO long as he does SO with
his own money, OF even with another
mans with his consent. But there were
claims against the conductor of the Times
amounting 20 between $75, 900 ana S9O,s
900. The owner or owners of this money
probably thought they might as we'll in
dulge in the luxury of publishing free
press with it as 10 let 1t to some one else,
with scarcely % prospect 0G ever getting it
by amicable means. 4 great many edi-
tioDs OF a. paper might be issued Tor even
the smaller OF the sums named. And as
the parties to whom the money is due
clearly have q right to it, and have made
anicabIe demand they can not be re-
fused OF turned away empty handed.
We consider the sight o? 50 man
70 his own money 50 be of more i'm
portance than the right o? Mr.. Weed and
his assistants to publish s paper. however |
free, unit! he frs: obtains the consent of
the real groprietors. Perhaps Mr.. Mckee |
and the executor Of the estate of King de- |
sire to obtain possession of their property |
EoH the purpose Of publishing % better
oape: than the Times was during the last
year or tive Of its career We submit that
his would not be an unreasonable suppo- |
'ition OK " very difficult undertaking. Few |
IT the people of this city, comparatively. !
approved the course Of the Times. or gave
I credit for being really tres press.
This. OF course has nothing to do with the
business question involved: but il rather
destroys the force Of the sentiment sought
o be created against the parties who were
o]ised TO proceed against a paper which
hey di" not value very highly to secure
'"yment of money, which they did.
part Of the employees of the late New
)rlean" Times have already made such ar.
angemen:s as enable them to publish
aper, as tree as any, for what We can see:
ut they are doing this either on their
"n money or some other mans who is
atisfed with the venture. Mr.. Weed is

NEW. ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY DECEMBER q, 1872

the last summer, that Warmoth was work
ing under contract made with the wire
workers Of the fusion party, by which he
was to elect their ticket and be rewarded
for it by their electing him to the United
States Senate. That he labored faithfully
to fulfill his part Of the bargain is well
known. He put in requisition all his re-
sources, and directed al his appliances in
that direction. Ee pocketed bill passed
by the Legislature 1t it last session, strik-
ing from the statute we have referred to
the odious provisions which gave him the
control Of the elections, and did not per-
NIT it to become Law until after the cleo
tons were over, ard until he sought to
make it subserve his purposes in another
way. The election over, this head and
leader Of the fusion party lost nothing in
has efforts to foist upon the State the per
sons he intended to FL the Offices. Before
any report Of the result Of the elections
was made in pursuance of law, even by
his own bogus board, he issued spurious
commissions, and the recipients of these
unlawful documents fouted them before
the courts and demanded to be recognized
as legally elected and duly commissioned
officers. Nc man can truthfully gainsay
the foregoing narrative Of the manner in
which the late canvass was conducted in
Louisiana. That frauds of the most
gigantic magnitude and Of the most shame
ful and extraordinary character were per
petrated in the interest Of the fusion party,
Is as public and as well known as are the
stone steps that lead up into the St. Charles
Hotel. These barefaced startling frauds |
have been established by the clearest evil
dence They have been denounced by |
prominent men Of the Democratic party. |
All attempts.to conceal OF deny them have |
proved utterly futile. I
Now we ask, with what grace is il that
this fusion party charge others with cleo
ton frauds? The apparent sincerity 700,
with which this is done borders on the Iu-
dicrous. This display is Of piece with
anothes and very recent exhibition Of
strategy in the tactics Of tho fusionists.
Now that Warmoth's political life is ended
and his name and gowes have ceased to
legalize corruption, they repudiate him.
fhe 6tlnerant committee on propositions
and grievances, composed OF 1.-THE moral
and best people" here, are solicitous TO i'm.
press folks abroad that '$he large con- !
stituencies they represent have 40 inter
est in the matters between Warmoth and
Kellogg. But this is TOO thin. The firm
alliance made BY these moral and we'll to
10 people with Warmotb, to &c: hold Of

ee there, hiring out his patriotism and

For what would be easier than
for an ambitious government to

poses? For ourselves, we can express a
wish for the maintenance of social peace
without apprehension that improper mo-
tiyes viii be imputed to US. The Repub-
hcan party of Louisiana has adjusted all
dissent among its own members. 1t has
weathered the heaviest storm amid the
most dangerous navigation which it is
likely to encounter. It sustains and is
supported by Republican administration,
with an irresistible majority of both
houses Of Congress. 1t is acting, thus
far, under the rulings of the federal
courts. Even should q military government
be forced upon this State by the evil con-
sequences intimated, what would the Re
publican party have to apprehend from
officers and soldiers sent here to maintain
order? In appealing to the people, then,
to accept the events as q solution of duty
ii not of destiny, no selfish interest and
no servile fear can be attributed to US.
We wish peace an honest administration,
positive and practical reform of accumu-
lated abuses, improved credit OF State aud
city, an influx of people and capital, exo

industries. We pledge a Republican |
Legislature and executive to give these |
