Crimes and Casualties.

from which $4,000 was taken, after
which he was likewise bound, and
the robbers made good their escape.
The unfortunate ones were not lib
Grated till midnight.
The dead body Of an unknown
man, with his head terribly crush
ed with stones and a deep stab in
his neck, was found on the 10th
near the intersection Of Gravios
road and River Dcsperes, some six
miles below st. Louis. Two men
men have been arrested on suspi-
cion, but 50 far the affair is STROUD

The charge against Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Mann, of Raleigh, wife

About S o'clock on the evening
of the 18th, while a large number
of gentlemen were congregated in
the vestibule Of the Southern. Ho-
tel, at st. Louis, Capt. Ed. Dix, q
well known steamboat man, walked
up TO Robert w. Estlin, of New
Orleans, who was conversing with
some friends, and deliberately shot
him in the left jaw. Estlin fell
When down Dix fired another shot,
which struck the posterate mans
left side. After the shooting, Dix
gave his pistol to one of the clerks
of the hotel, and was taken by his
friends to the Office of the chief of
police, who ordered him locked up.
Estlin was taken to his room, where
his wounds were examined by sur
geons, and found to be very slight
The cause Of the shooting cannot
be ascertained, both perties being
very reticcnt, but itsappears they
had a quarrel few days ago over
game of chance, and it is Thought
the affair grew out Of that.

ley Republicans" The pledge was
kept and our fears were realized.
The non-voting Democrats in this
county out number largely the Re
publican majority obtained ON Tues
day, while the number of Republi-
cans voting for Greeley was a mere
bagatelle. 1t was useless to talk to
these anti-Greeley Democrats of
the "least of the evils" They
were asked to vote for the arch-en-
envy of their party, and not even a
converted-enemy, and do it they
could not and would not.
Blunder number four was mace
in nominating Blair, when a sterling
Democrat should have been placed
at the head of the State ticket, one
who could have aided in calling out
the disaffected Democrats; and
blunder number five in selecting
Congressional candidates in this
and several other districts, but these
latter blunders are subordinate to
Baltimore and Cincinnati.
From the Indianapolis sentinel;
No real reformer will feel daunt-
ed by this first reverse. The future
is the field of our best endeavor,
and in the years that the young
party has before it there is time
and opportunity for all that we
have been denied in their first con-
test Friends of reform, the bat
tie is but drawn we have not sur
rendered--only cravens come to
that extremity.
From the ST. Paul Pioneer.
Although defeated in the canvass
we see nothing to discourage u.s.
The South has at last become re-
constructed-the North cannot long
make every question subordinate to
hate. TO labor for the ascendency
of these principles, to attain power
with their adoption, shall be our
end and aim.

From the Ann Arbor Argus
The first blunder and a terrible
one was made when the wire-pull-
crs were permitted to capture the
Cincinnati Convention and override
the honest and genuine Reformers
who had united in calling it. The
nomination Of Horace Greeley was
in total violation Of the objects and
designs Of the men who originated
that convention, and was one not
fit to be made. Based on the pre-
tcnce that he alone could carry the
Southern States and disrupt the
Republican party throughout the
North, rather than on personal
qualifications or principles sought
to be advanced, it was n delusion
from the first, and at last the rock
on which the ship Reform split and
went TO pieces. VIZ TEFa e.
Blunder number two was made
when the Cincinnati Reformcrs did
not within an hour after the nomi-
nation of Greeley repudiate it, con-
vene anew and nominate candi-
date truly representing their tariff
and revenue reform principles
That done the first blunder might
have been Overcome.sf nj a snsl-.
Blunder number three was made

their backs instantly upon Greeley

Assassination.

Below we give the particulars of
another wilful murder in New York,
which happened on the 18th. These
tragedies are becoming common
occurrences, and the assailants are
invariably allowed to run at large,
under the plea of temporary in
sanity" These murderers are al
together too frequent to be over
looked by the masses, and the plea
of Insanity" viii no longer be look
ed upon by the American people as
an ercuSe for killing a citizen in
cold blood. The next will doubtless
be "temporary sanity" and then al
low people to murder at will, with
out regard for law or order of any
kind:

being taken before Judge Suther-

tcctive on the Erie Railroad, and
his wife were witnesses in the case.
1t is said that the evidence of both
showed very brutal conduct on the
part of King toward his wife. At
ter the case had been adjourned
O'Neill left the Office and started
down stairs. King followed him,
several steps behind. When O'Ncill
had reached the second floor land
ing King drew pistol and fired
three shots in quick succession
The first struck the victim in the
small of the back, and must have !
caused him to turn around facing
his murderer, as the fatal bullet en-
tered his right breast below the
collar bone, about two inches from
the meridian line. O'Neill walked
into the Office Of Mr.. Quick, on
the second foor, sat down in n :
chair, and in about half an hour
breathed his last. As soon as the
third shot was fired King ran back
into Judge Southerland's Office and
handed his pistol to the Judge. He
then ran into the inner office and
locked himself in. \ crowd surg

ner arrived in few moments and
was forced to break in the door of
Kings retreat in order to effect his
arrest. After entrance was gained .
into the room he made no attempt
at resistance, and was quietly re-
moved TO the station. The victim
was not able TO give an account of
the shooting, a wound in the lungs

It1is alleged that King killed
u man in the San dwich Islands some
time ago, and attempted the life of
