A First.CIass Murder - A Farmer
Killed and Robbed on the High
way.
CH1cAG o, May 21.-A shocking mur-
der, the particulars Of which have not
yet como to light, was perpetrated some
time last night in the northwestern out.
skirts of this city. Early this morning a
man passing along what is known as
Whiskey Point road, near West Chicago
avenue, found an old man, evidently a
farmer, lying dead on the highway, his
skull being fractured with club, and his
pockets riGed and turned inside out. -.
The belief Is that the murdered man
was farmer on his way home from mar
ket, and that the murderers not only Sc
cured all the valuables on his person, but
likewise stole his team and wagon. The
vicinity where the crime was committed
is q VIGOROUSLY bad one, and number OF
robberles have been committed there.
At the session Of the Illinois Homeo-
pGthic Association there was considerable
increase in the attendance. Interesting
and valuable papers were read by Dr.. ".
B. DanfOrth, DR.. s. B. Cole and Dr.. r.
Ludlow Of this city. This evening ban
quet was given the Association at Hahne'
man Hospital.

The Columbus Nominations and
Platform,

The Republicans Of Ohio yesterday re.
Nominated Gov. NoYEs and some other Of
the State officers. Gov. NoYES had no
opposition, so far as we have iniormatloni
and 1t seems TO be thought in Ohio that
his term Of service will be cut short by his
election to succeed Senator THURMAN.
The platform ia sound and square on the
Credit Mobilier and Salary Grab. Not
only are these unqualiaedly denounced
aud the taking Of the back.pay condemn
cd equally with the voting Of II, but there
is sweeping condemnation ,of all In
crease Of salaries at time when tho re-
sources Of the country arc taxed to their
utmost TO meet the burdens imposed by the
pension list and the national debt and
the repeal Of tho whole measure is de-
mauded. This must bo held to modify
the resolution endorsing the President,
because this obnoxious measure was not
only signed by him, but there Is too much
reason TO believe that 1t met his apprObA-
lion, and that the whole scheme had It's
origin in the anxiety Of certain politicians
to commend themselves to his favor.
This is q strong condemnation Of those
Ohio Congressman who, like Mr.. BNG-
HAM, are unfortunately compromised by
both the Credit Mobilier and Salary Grab;
and its value Is that it will serve as
warning to other gentlemen in the future.
This Is the solid ground for tho Republl'
can party to stand on; and on such an
unequlvOcal platform as this, the Ohio
Republicans ought to win an easy victory.

Cheap Fares.

The beneficial effect upon railroads them
selves Of liberal and judicious arrangements
to promote travel is best exemplitied by the
increase of local passenger traffic over the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad, which company, several months ago,
placed on sale for all points family coupon
tickets at the low rate of one and half cents
per mile, emitting any member of family
residing along the line Of its road to use the
same. We believe no such arrangement
exists upon any other Virginia road, and
Judging from the benefit which has resulted
to the company, and the satisfaction it has
given to its patrons, we risk nothing in com.
mending its example to the imitation Of
other roads in the State. We have seen on a
single train three or four members of one
family travelling to and fro who would have
entrusted their business to one of their num-
Der had it not been for these cheap tickets.
The students of Randolph Macon, the
hourishiDg college on the line of this road,
who are allowed to combine in clubs as
family, aud thus to avail themselves of the
use of these tickets. are delighted with the
arrangement, and join with the citizens in
applauding the liberal and progressive spirit
Of the management Of the road. Esto per-
peud. ASHLAND.
