aspects OF the present Presidential cam
paign. says the Golden Age, is the malig-
nant temper with which the Administra-
ton party assail their opponents and
blacken regulations.
A Washington paper says that sit has
not yet been decided at the White House
as to whether Miss Nellie Grant is to
''come out" this winter or not. It is
not so with regard to the old man. Tt
has been deoreed that he is to come out
bag and baggage.
The Grant leaders intend to succeed if
they can do it by fair means or foul.
The contest is between unscrupulous po-
liticians with plenty of money, and who
control the public patronage. on the one
hand, and the people on tho other. We
shall see who will win.
Gen. Grant has ordered Col. Blanton
Duncan to make flank movement on
the enemy, and the Colonel is trying to
do it. The trouble with the Colonel,
however, and it is serious one, is that
his regiment OF Bourbons is not full,
and that Edmunds and the rest of his
Radical recruiting officers cannot fill it.
The Liberal army is not likely to be
much demoralized by the flank firing of
the Blanton Duncan squad.
As some difficulty is likely to be ex-
perienced by the Boilers Convention at
Louisville, in obtaining the consent of
candidates to the same, we propose that
the waste of time be saved by nominal
ing Col. Duncan and Brick Pomeroy.
They having originated the movement,
ought to bear the burden of its defeat.
The Newbern On. c. Times is edited
by one of President Grants carpet bag

right when he said the spirit and way in
which the Administration is carrying on
this campaign is simply brutal.

It may be safely written down as
"cheeky" when the Administration or
gans urge that the election of Gen.
Grant will advance the mercantile inter-
ests of the country, since tho whole
policy of the Government, for the past
four years, has been entirely destructive
Of them. Our resources were never
more crippled; our commerce never
moro depressed than it is to-day; and
this is solely owing to the reckless extra
vngance with which our fnances have
been administered, and the perpetual
disturbance maintained in different pro-
ductive sections of the country, through
the maintenance of martial law and other
abuses. We do not think the mercantile
community likely to be led astray by any
suoh fallacies as thus put forth. Prospe.
rity always waits on peace, and Gen.
Grants failure to bestow it during the
past four years is sufficient evidence of
his powerlessness to do so in the future.

A YoUNa LADY KILLS HER BROTHER.

A YOUNG LADY KILLS HER BRoTuER-
Early on Friday morning. the neighbor-
hood Of Liberty, the County seat Of
Clay, was thrown into furore of excite
ment by the intelligence that Miss Julia
Wills, IL beautiful and accomplished
young lady Of seventeen years. had
killed her brother, aged twenty-five.
At iirst the report was discredited, mas
much rs she had always borne the repu-
tation Of possessing an aminble disposi-
tion and being lady-liko in her de.
meanor. On Investigation. the report
was found to be too true; but the com
mission of the decd under the circum-
stances somewhat ralliated the afro.
ciousness OF the crime. At about 6
o'clock, in the morning, dispute arose
between Miss Wills and her brother, in
what is known as the COW lot on the
farm, three miles West of Liberty, in re-
gard to the conduct of their youngest
sister, and whether it had justified the
manner in which she had been treated
by her brother. who, it is SAID, had
whipped her severely. The young man
las had the reputation Of being very
qnarrelsome, became very angry ut the
upbraiding from his sister, and seizing
an axe, raised it with the evident inten-
tion of striking her. She screamed vio-
lently, and rushed towards tho house,
closely followed by her brother. On
reaching tho house, she seized shotgun
which lay in the dining and
warned him not to make any further de-
monstration Of injuring her. or she
would kill him. lie paid no attention to
her admonition, but advanced, and as
he did 20. she pulled the trigger. Wills
fell dead, the cuutents Of the gun having
entered his neck short distance below
the chin. There was not single word
spoken. Kansas City No. J Times.
PULL OUT Your BASDANAs "A Chi
cago Grant organ has been dipping lis
pen in human gore, and this is the reek-
ing result: "23, 900 colored men. women
and children have been Assassinated in
different parts of the South, within the
last three years, by the Ku Klux Klaps
OF that sunny region, and only here and
ti,ere has one of the murderers been
brought to Justice" To this, theEChi-
cago Tribune retorts in tho following
heartless fashion: "Why not make the
number 23.000.000, aud bring tears to
the eyes of all of US ut once? If there
wero $1,000 negroes murdered during
Grants administration, and only here

South than his most ardent enemies

are determined to falsify, why don't they
employ somebody who knows how?"
