the killing of Captain ]. j. Little and
Mr.. 2. 7. Reardon. The former was
killed by man named Tart, and the
latter by W. 7. Little, a nephew of the
deceased. The affair caused great ex-
element in the town, it being the most
serious and sanguinary that had occur
red in the county for many years. A
posse Of citizens started in pursuit of
the murderers and we hear that Little
was arrested and lodged in Jail at
Gainesville, to which place he had fed.
Little is from Texas. and it is said has
killed two men in that State. Reardon
is single man, from Pickens county,
and all accounts agree that he displayed
the utmost bravery"

OUR PLATFORM.

The nomination of Judge Davis for
President by the labor reform conven-
ton, has made a profound sensation in
political circles 1t is admitted by both
parties to be highly respectable. Grant
men admit that it will gain strength as
the canvass progresses. No doubt of it.
Nothing is cared for platforms-every-
thing for success. But platform, large,
broad and comprehensive, is understood
by opposition to Grant. That is suffi-
cient. 1t implies opposition to his al
ministration in the aggregate and in
particles. 1t implies opposition to the
great military ring, and the most re-
markable exhibition of nepotism ever
known in public lite. 1t implies
opposition to the San Domingo
job, the double-dealing with Prus-
STA about arms, and the overthrow
Of the habeas corpus. 1t implies
opposition to corruption in Office,
and the policy that shields crimi-
nails from punishment. 1t implies OPP
position to subordinating the constitu-
ton to questions of party expediency.
1t is a wonderful platform. 1t takes in
all out of doors, and affords a shelter
for the victims of hostile government.
1t brings back the South Carolina refu-
gees from the mountains, aud opens the
filthy jails and release the innocent pris
oners of the South. 1t brings the car
pet-bag gentry to justice, and, above all,
it brings repose, prosperity and peace.
1t is needless to write such platform.
1t dwells in the mind of every man who
is opposed to Grants reelection. Ifyou
are against Grant, you are brothers, no
matter what your antecedents. You
understand each other by the instinct of
honesty and patriotism. This is plat
form enough.

TOO FAR AHEAD.

A Tennessee paper has suggested the
idea that Ex-President johnson will be
the peoples candidate for governor next
year. The truth is, johnson will moi
down at human bidding. If you crush
him in one place, he will re-appear in
another, all refreshed and ready for
another crushing. 1t is useless to crush
him. 1t is a crime. He is solitary
man, standing face to face with hostile
world, and bidding it do its worst. His
courage was never surpassed in Rome,
and it is his singular felicity to have
merited, but never received, the graft
tude of his countrymen for civic strug-
giles in defence of constitutional liberty
scarcely equaled in this or any other
age. But we resist an impulse to pur-
sue this theme, merely suggesting that
the question of Andy Johnsons candi-
dacy for the goyernorship is too far
ahead.

RoLRoTIo MAGAZINE.

The March number Of this sterling
old monthly is at hand, and is embel-
lished with an excellent portrait on
steel, Of Herbert Spencer, the celebrated
English philosopher. In this number is
begun "The Strange Adventures Of a
Ph@ton," which will run through the
year, and which promises to be one of
the most brilliant and powerful stories
recently published. 1t is by William
Black, whose previous novels have earned
for him an enviable reputation in Amer
lea as well as England. There is sim
gular fascination about these opening
chapters which is not usually found at
the portals of story. The leading ar
ticle of the number is fine essay on
Mahomet," giving the results of the
latest researches into his history, and
written in more popular and intelligi-
BILE style than has usually been employed
on this theme; next comes THE Early
Life of Charles Dickens" and among the
other articles are Strange News about
the Solar Prominences,P National
Debts and National Prosperity" 1.-THE
Talking Animal" very curious essay,
Quaint Customs in Kwei-Chow,"
George Macdonald" "Spain-Her
Manners and Amusements," The

INSTRUMENTATION.

Perhaps no one at all informed in re-
gard to the history of the time, will dis
sent from the opinion expressed by a
political writer, that it is impossible to
consider in any comprehensive way the
policy of the dominant party, in regard
to the settlement of those questions
touching the peace and amity of this
country which the war has left us as a
heritage, without reaching the conclu-
sion that it is a policy of irreconcilia-
iation That they do not want, finally
and forever, settlement of the differ
ences which, first in war and afterwards
in nominal peace, have alienated and
kept apart the North and South, is APP
parent to any one who will but glance
at their past and present course, and
the obvious motives by which they are
controlled. The scheme which they
have maHifestly laid out for themselves
is to stand as long as possible between
the divided parts Of the Union, keeping
them asunder, which otherwise would
come together and heal; to enkin-
die or keep alive such animosities as
shall make both sides rankle, especially
that which is the sorest from having suf-
fered most-the South. In this, now
when the common American heart is
yearning for the return Of fraternal
feeling and for forgetfulness Of those
calamitous events by which it was in
terrupted, there is a cold-blooded cru
city, and callousness to a coustry's
greatest necessity, which, to all patri-
otto and right-minded men, should
elothe the dominant party with disgrace
as with garment.

nal that the cortege had started. A long

c1NCINNArI CONVENTION.

The New York Sun and other Liberal
Republican papers call upon the Liber-
ais to organize for the Cincinnati con-
yention. That convention, the Sun
maintains, is to strike the keynote of
the presidential campaign, just as the
Buffalo convention struck the keynote
of the memorable contest of 1913. In
that emergency the barn-burners of New
York, rising in instruction against the
proceedings Of the ofice-holders cabal
at Baltimore, which had put General
Cass in nomination, took the lead in the
greatrevolt that resulted in his overthrow.
Time has moved on, but truth and duty
remain the same. A revolt more formi.
dable than that which Frustrated the
Democracy in l84S has broken out in
the Republican party against the gross
and almost universal corruption, the
treachery to principle and the subser
viency to power which have carried the
organization to the verge of ruin. The
leaders in the present revolt are the
liberal Republicans of Missouri. Tt
give effect to this protest against GRAM
and his oficeholders, organization il
needed. Leaving the bene6ciaries Of
the administration to pack their conven
ton at Philadelphia, the independent
Republicans in all parts of the Union
should prepare for gathering at Gin.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The two
points in the answer Of the secretary Of
State TO Gladstone likely to be most
prominently pressed are: First-That
this government is far more anxious to
have this important question of interna'
tional law settled permanently than 1t is
to obtain judgment of heavy exemplary
damages; and, second-To that end the
President will propose reference Of the
question of jurisdiction to the tribunal
itself for decision. Throughout the re-
ply the ground viii be maintained that
the submission of the claims is covered
by the treaty.
The house committee on expenditures
of the war department will meet Thurs
day morning to begin the French arms
investigation. The department is pre-
pairing full official history of the case,
and will be fully ready to respond to the
inquiry. 8g
Colonel Lewis Merrill, United States
army, who commanded the United States
troops in South Carolina, and whose dis
Greet and efficient management did so
much to break up the infamous Ku-Klux
bands in that State, has lefte !her for
South Carolina, having had his COM
mand increased and his scope of opera
tons materially enlarged.
1t is denied that the government
authorized an American banking house
to make an offer to tho English govern
ment to settle the question at issue,
growing out of the Alabama claims, for
flO, 100000. The administration is per-
fectly satisfied with the case as it now
stands, feeling sure we are right and
that England alone will be the sufferer
if she should withdraw from the confer
ence. Besides, if the government had
determined on the above mentioned
to the English government,
it would be then done through our minis
ter in London and not through the me-
dunn of banking house.

In the light of subsequent events, the

its political significance. This accom-

old and well known games simply to ad-

political complication now existing in
Pennsylvania, Forney, through his news
paper connections, holds the balance Of
power. A desire for something better
led him to resign the collectorship, which
