The LcRislature.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Legislature has now

their agent, have the right and the

SENATOR SCHCRz on THE SITUATION
Senator Schulz has been talking very
freely with correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial about the Liberal
prospects. This is whit he said about
the future:
We will have to begin in 1876 where
We left off in 1872. But the Libera |
principle will succeed. The Cincinnati
platform will succeed. We are set back.
not beaten. 1 have been hopeful of sue
GEES nll tho time-if not this campaign.
then next. We econld have succeeded this
time, as verify believe, by nominating
Adams. l thought so in May last; /
think so now. The contest, However,
has not been barren of results. It has
played out tho Democracy as o party.
This is we'll. The people will not elect a
man to the Presidency who wears the
Democratic label. The party, rs party,
cannot hope to come to power under
that name. They must take departure
so wide as to leave the name behind.
The Grant majority in Congress is so
large and strong that they will fall into
quarrels before the end of the term.
Ihey think they are backed by such ma
lorltles that they can afford to have an
occasional row among themselves. But
their strength in Congress is out Of pro.
portion to their strength elsewhere.
They have not so much Of majority of
the people ut their backs as they think.
A fair vote all over the United States,
taken swithout perplexing side issues,
would show this Grant party's majority
to be decidedly small, if, indeed, it has
q majority Mt all. The strength of the
parties in Congress, or os it will be next
session, Is not fair index of popular
feeling. only consider that the Libe-
raj movement has been put nck-"post.
poned," as the Tribune said. It is the
party Of the future. Much will happen
during tho next four years to strengthen
it and nothing to weaken it. It will
grow from this day forward. But it is
essential that the Democracy, as sepa-
rate organization, should get out of the
way, and give it fair sweep.

0ffersng S500stO Have an Aged Father
Killed.


The Petalums (Cal.) journal publishes
the following hideous story;
1t appears from the statement of young
man named James Dunn, before Marshal
Knowles, last Thursday, that Lorenz Pow
ell, aged about twenty years, the son of
wellto citizen of Healdsburg, came to
him few weeks since and wanted to
know if he would like to make three or
four hundred dollars. Dunn replied that
he would only be too glad of such an OPP
portuuity. Powell then asked HIM if he
could kill man.
To this the young man replied that it
depended on circumstances, and wanted
to know who it was that Powell wanted
to get out of the way. Powell then told
him that the party he wished disposed of
was none other than his own father He
said the old man was worth between $780,
900 and 100000, and that ii he could be
got away with he would become executor
of the estate over the other two children
of the family, and would consequently
have all the money be desired. Dunn was
rather nonplussed at this most atroclous
| proposition, but consented to do the work.
He was then provided with pistol, and
on dark and stormy night the murder
Gus deed was to be carried out. Dunn was
to stand in butcher shop and shoot the
old man as he was going home, and then
make his escape at the back of the shop,
leaving the pistol there where Powell
should find it next morning. The night
came and went, but the deed was not
committed. Powell, meeting Dunn on
the street next morning, demanded why
he had not done as he agreed, and was
told by Dunn that Oh the night before he
was too sick, and had to go to bed.
1t was then agreed that the murder
should be postponed until the next dark
night. Shortly after'this happened Lorenz
Powell came to Dunn and told him that
his mother was dying, and that his father
would marry another woman, and that he
must certainly be got out of the way be-
fore this event took place. Dunn after
this avoided Powell tor two weeks, when
on Thursday of last week, he was met by
Powell and ordered to give up the pistol
Powell saying that he would get another
boy to do the shooting.
Dunn then passed over the pistol and
went Immediately to his employer, Ham
Briggs, and told him the whole story
Briggs communicated the startling reve
latlon to Powell's father. The upshot O
the affair, we learn, is that the boy wa
Immediately taken from the town, anC
this week sent East in charge of Captain
L. A Norton, of Healdsburg Powell, tn,
elder, is very respectable man.
