PnrrIcide in Cnddo.

We copy the following from the Shreve-
port Times;
Wesley Morris, who lived a few miles
from Shreveport, in the parish of Caddo,
and whom some of our citizens probably
know as a wOod-hauler, has been on un-
pleasant terms with his wife for some time.
Not long ago they separated and divided
their little property. On Monday, as Nor
Tis was in the act of carrying off some fence
rails which belonged to the wife, the latter
demonstrated and finally told him that he
should not use her horse, then in Morris
wagon, to carry off her rails, and attempted
TO loose the horse from the wagon. While
she was in the act of doing this, he struck
her on the head with a heavy whip and
knocked her down sens eless. Morris
daughter, about thirteen years of age,
pleaded with her father not to Kill
her mother. He commanded her to shut
ragged, doubtless, at the condition of her
mother and the abusive threats of her
father, seized a stanchion that formed part
of the wagon, and, as her father made a
move toward her mother, she struck him on
the head and knocked him down across her
mother. The mother soon revived and
found her husband lying across, or on her,
senseless. He was restored and went about
his business, and when about two miles
from his home he stopped at neighbor's
house and complained of being very sick
lie continued TO grow worse, and on yes
terday "wednesday morning he died. The
cOrOner's inquest revealed the foregoing
facts, stated as correctly as we can remem-
Der them post mOrtem examination by
Drs. Moore and Smell indicated that his
death was caused by fracture of the skull
on the left side of the head. On removing
skull quantity of extravasated blood
was found.

The responsible authors of tbe ..nnitn

The responsible authors of the "united
State ticket" should read the following
from the Baton Rouge Gazette and Comet.
The committe of New Orleans gentlemen
who arrogated to themselves the privilege
of undoing the work of the Democratic
State Convention and choosing another
ticket to their own liking has also seen fit
20 take time by the forelock, as very smart
gentlemen usually do and name an cleo
tOral ticket. On that electoral ticket there
IS not the name of a single Republican, and
If we mistake not, none Of the parties
named have ever identified themselves with
the Liberal State movement. Now, we ask
the question, why was this discrimination
made Did the committee really intend to
Ignore the Republicans who are supporting
Mr.. Greeley, and the Liberals of his party,
purpOseIy with a view to keep rlp useless
contentious, animosities and iealousies be-
tween the parties about to unite in tIe
cause, Of reform If that was their view
and their hope they reckon without their
host; The people have this movement in
hand, and they emphatically denv tIe riaI+
OF the Democratic convention. or any- So
OF 1t, to say who shall or who shah pat
compose that electoral ticket. --''
