THE TUBES MURDER.

The arrest of Huffman for the murder
of Tubbs, in Hazlewood precinct, in this
county, created considerable excitement
There were many circumstances pointing
to Huffman and denouncing him as the
murderer, but the chain of circumstuntial
evidence was incomplete. He had quar-
relied with the murdered man and had
been grossly insulted by him; had threat
cned the wad out of the gun from which
the fatal ball had been fired was cut in
peculiar way, in the same way the wad
out of Huffman gun was always cut by
! its ball the ball found in the murdered
man was IA peculiar ball, and one witness
testified that Hufi'man's mould made such
ball. On the other hand an atibi was es-
tabished and, on the whole, the justices,
Mcssrs. Bross and Robinson did not feel
justified in holding the prisoner for trial.
w ''"'s', We h"No no heoilh "l ulscoN-

Alexander county has been assassinated

of the forces is better than division, may
also be induced by that consideration to
rally for the whole ticket. If Mr.. Jones
and his friends should maintain their
present attitude of neutrality between
Clements and Wall they will rob Greeley
and koerncr of ut least a
thousand votes in this dis.
trict. They have reminded us that every
road that leads from Greeley leads to
Grant, and they should learn that every
vote withheld from Wall robs Greeley and
Koerncr of that support out of which only
success can come--thc support of enthusi-
astic friends united in common cause.
We give this as our candid
opinion, and appeal to Mr.. Jones
and his friends TO weigh it
carefully. If Mr.. Jones should run what
would be the effect of his candidacy? 1t
would create q bitterness between Dem
ocrats and Liberals. They would not
work together at all. They would fight
each other more heartily than the common
enemy. The Democrats would believe
that the Jones Liberals were in the field
not to cleo, Jones but for the purpose of
defeating Wall. The consequence would
be friendship between the Grant Radicals
and the Jones Liberals. The Grant men
would pat them on the back, and call them
brave men, and the Democrats would have
other words for them. There would be
no cooperation between the
Democrats and Jones Liberals,
and Greeley and Koerner would suffer.
The cause of Liberalism of the national and
State Liberal tickets, requires Democrats
and Liberals to be united in all things, to
be good friends and hearty supporters of
each other Division may beat Wall,
but it may also give the electoral vote
of Illinois and the Governor to the Radi-
Gals. The Jones Liberal, cannot strike
Wall without hurting themselves. 1t
cannot be that they will bite off their own
nose TO spite their face.

REPORTED WAL OF MIR
WALL

Oar Radical friends are very much con-
cerned about the candidacy of Mr.. Wall
for Congress. With the same breath they
will tell you he is II weak candidate and
that they hope he may he induced to with
draw from the canvass. This assertion
and hope contradict each other. Radicals
are not SO solicitous of Democratic success
that they will desire the withdrawal of A
weak candidate and the substitution of
one stronger. Our friends of the opposite
sac must not attempt to put OF upon us
:" h'msy Pretext We must be per-
United to say it is altogether 'too ,hip.o
Once for all, We must tell our Radical
friends, that Mr., Wall has no intention Of
declining, and there is no movement ON
loot TO shove him from the ticket. lie

ton Of coming off victorious, and he will
have the united support of the Democracy,
