AssaSSi nation OF L. W. Groves.

[From the Lexington (Mo,) Intelligencer
1t is with heavy pen we attempt to
chronicle one of the saddest occurrences
that has ever transpired in Lafayette
county before the deep grief which that
occurrence has ocsasioned tho voice Of
indignation even is dumb, and We have
heart for nothing more than simple
detail of tho mourntul facts attending it.
On Friday afternoon, Nov. Sth, about u
quarter to 5 o'clock, Lafayette W Groves,
ESQ.,, senior editor of the Inteligencer,
while returning to the Office from up
town, was waylaid and shot by Edwin
Turner, the publisher Of the Register, on
the corner of Main and Laurel streets, in
this city.
In its issue of October Gath, the Reg.
lister contained a most uncalled for and
offensive personal attack upon Mr.. Groves,
charging him with having deserted the
confederate army on the eve of battle.
Upon meeting Mr.. Turner the first time
after the appearance of the article, in
Young's news depot, Mr.. Groves de.
manded of him the authors Of the re.
port. Turner refused to give them. Mr.
Groves then asked him if he wrote the
article, to which he replied that he did.
Mr.. Groves then denounced him as a
dirty, cowardly dog, or words to that
effect, to publish such an infamous thing
about gentleman without any cause.
There was no pistol or weapon of any
kind drawn. Turner made no attempt to
resent the abusive language used toward
him, only remarking to Mr. g. that he
mustn't threaten him Mr.. Groves then
left and Immediately reported to several
Of his friends what had occurred. Some
apprehensiens were felt both by himself
and his friends that the affair might take
a more serisus turn: But day after day
went by. the parties met each other
scores of times on the street, and not a
single hostile demonstration was made by
Turner The election day came with its
excitements, and still nothi.g was said or
done. Mr. Groves had dismissed from
his mind the whole affair regarding it as
at an end. There had been some little
misunderstanding between him and Sheriff
Taubman, which, however, was arranged
most amicaby and satisfactorily to both
parties Wednesday and Thursday pass
ed, The election returns from the whole
country were in, and tho result being
) known everything was settling down t,
its usual quietness. Friday came, anc
every one drew sigh Of relief that tn
worry and conclusion Of the campaigl
were at an end, no one rejoicing NOR
heartily thereat than Mr.. Gxsves himself

harrassments of various kinds, and had
arranged to leave for his fathers resi-
dence in the country on the Z oclock
train ,ha, evening, where he expec ed to
remain several days lie was moving
about the streets all day talking to his
friends, in company with some Of whom
he pass ed Turner several times. 1t eas
about s O'Clock that he came down Main
street on the south side towards his
/ Office. He was walking leisurely, and
stopped now and then to pass word
with friend. He had passed Young.
news depot above the City hotel, and was
opposits the grocery store of E. Easter
& Co.. when Turner stepped from door
way in his rear with drawn pistol, call
ing out to Mr.. Groves, you called me a
dirty --; take your hand off your
pistol and Immediately fred. Mr.
Groves had both hands in his brecches
pockets at the times, tthe manner in
which he usually walked), with bundle
under his right arm. Upon being ac.
costcd by Turner, he turned partially
around just as the first shot was fired.
There is soue difference of opinion as to
whether tie first was the fatal shot or
not We judge, however, that it did not
strike him, simply passing through his
coat sleeve. Immediately after tho first
shot, Mr. Groves turned square around,
facing Turner, who fred at the very in
slant of his turning, dropped his pistol
and ran back through Youugs store up
into his Office by back way, Mr.. Groves
stood still a second, staggered slowly back
of the pavement, with both hands yet in
his pockets, aud fell dead in the street,
the ball having passed through the upper
part of his heart. Mr. Groves was not
heard to utter single word, and died
without making sign Turner was

'Taln't Me.

1.-THE II thank Thee, o Lord, that |
am not as other men" spirit, seems to
have possessed quite number Of our
tnoralizing journalists since the election.
They rejolse that the excitement incident
thereto has subsidcd, and begin to read
lectures to their brother journalists about
losing self control aud rescrting to per-
sonalities. They think it locks bad, and
is disgracetul 10 the profession conse.
quently they raise their hands in pious
horror at this Glow practice, aud like the
Pharisee exclaim, 'tce are not as
other men ICE have never descended
10 this level Of journalism. Now
We admire dignity and respectful argu
ment IS much as any one in the world
and are willing to be criticised and cor
rected when We depart from this rule,
but we have noticed that some of the
journals who complain the most, and who
10 their own egotism, have never "de
scended,' &c, have been among the most
foul mouthed that came under our OBJ.
ssrvation-have descended to the very
depths of personal abuse. To them VIC
would say, first take the beam out oI
thine own eye, and thou cans't sec better
to take the mote out Of thy brother
syo,"
In political contests like the one
through which we have just passed, ex.
citensnt runs high, accusations Of harsh
nature are preferred, which are denounced
by the one against whom they are made
iu words that would not sound very well
in the drawing room. But editors are
only human, after all otherwise they
might soar on angelic wings above such
frailtiss and when irri.atsd by unjust
attacks are apt to become little cholsric
As for ourself, We have not always been
% choice 10 the selection of our words
Us our cooler judgment would approve
but then, while We cannot claim to have
attained that pinnacle of journalistic
chastity claimed by our reprovers, We
don't think we have descended" much
below some Of those who raise their
hands in such holy horror ut the indecent
personalities of the press; and even
when using our harshsst invectivss, We
always sndsavor to keep within bounds
Of tho truth.

Centennial Celebration.

The one hundredth anniversary Of tho
birth day Of American independence is
to be celebrated on grand scale, and IN
a suitable manner, in PhiladeI phia, com
mencing on the 4th day of July, 1876.
Already the most extensive plans have
been so far matured and arranged as to
give assurance of one of the grandest
events in the history Of the country.
The plans agreed upon embrace a stu
pendous international exhibition, to
which contributions aud competitions are
to be solicited from all nations of the
world. 1t is estimated that sl0,000,000
in money, aud about four years Of active
preparation will be required to develop
and bring to perfection this great ma.
tional achievement. The combined and
accumulated results of the enterprise
skill, art, science and industry of the
American people, together with ilustra,
tive specimens of our mineral and agri
cultural resources, are to be placed side
by side with the products Of other ma
tions, climes and peoples.
Philadelphia, the Mecca Of American
nationality, and the home Of American
independence, is the appropriate place
selected for the tulflment Of the great
undertaking. The site selected is Fair
mont park, in which a magnificent exhi
bition hall, covering space Of not less
than fifty acres Of ground, is to be
erected.
We cannot better give an idoa Of the
grandeur and magnifcence Of this grea
enterprise than by quoting the language
. Of Hon. Orestes Cleveland, Of New
Jersey one Of the commissioners ap
pointed to report plans. lie said
