THE story of a long and persistent pur-
suit OF murderer, by the son of his vic
tim, is told in a Missouri newspaper. The
father Of Col. Young, resident of Cook
county, Texas, was killed and robbed on
the 1lth of April, 1872, 10y q man named
Bunch. The next day Col. Young started
in pursuit, and for more than a year he
has been tracking the felon through the
Indian territory, thence through Arkansas
and Louisiana, cast into Mississippi, and
north through Tennessee and kentucky.
Crossing tie Mississippi river, the fclon
made his way through Arkansas, by the
wigwams of the Indian territory, thence
through the mountains and forests Of
Arkansas again. the hills and wilds Of
Southern Missouri, over the prairies Of
Southern Kansas, down tie headwatc.S Of
Medicine Ledge, and among the Arrapa-
hoes. On the goth Of last January, Col.
Young lost the trail On the Sth of April,
Il telegram from Fort Scott informed him
that Bunch had recently been in that
place. Soon he was there. only to learn
that Bunch had left for Lamar, in Benton
county. From that place Young traced
him to Stockton, Bolivar, Quincy, War
saw, Scdalia, Bonneville. Here Bunch
WAS arrested, and, after this long chase,
has been identified by Col. Young and
committed TO prison.-IriJuHe.

AN effort was made last week in the
Constitutional Convention to prohibit
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors in this
State by adopting the following amend
ment:
Section sc, that ''the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors or mixtures continuing the same, for
use beverage, shall hereafter be pro-
hibited," and that ''the legislature shall
within one year from the adoption of the
constitution enact laws, with adequate pen
altios for the enforcement Of this provision. ;"
The amendment gave rise to 4
lengthy discussion, and on the yeas
and nays being ordered on the adopt
ing of the section, the yeas were II
and the nays 60. The local option eN-
pertinent thus remains the law of the
State for three years in those counties
III which it has been adopted, unless
sooner repealed by the Legislature,
which we do not at present anticipate.

LAST Saturday, John J. Fairchild
and twelve other men left Fairchild's
rancho. on Cottonwood creek, Oregon,
with seventeen Modoc captivcs, all of
whom were women and children ex-
cept about five men and one boy.
Their destination was BOyIcs' camp.
On the road, Fairchilu was stopped by
a squad of Oregon volunteers, the
mules unhitched from the wagon and
three or four of the Indians were bru-
tally murdered, and one Of the sQUaws
severely wounded. The Modocs who
were thus butchered in cold blood were
not charged with amy crime, and were
unarmed. The act was atrocioUs and
without any excuse, and if the pcrpc-
traitors Of it can be arrested, they
should be severely dealt with by Gen.
Davis, if they were attached to the
force under his command. Their crime
is almost as revolving as that Of Capt.
Jack and his party who trcacherously
killed Gen. Candy and DR.. Thomas.

AN ELECTION DECISION.

An important voting case was tried in
tie Carroll county court last week. 1t
was the case of Matthew C. Baxter versus
The Trustees of Center Township.
1t seems Mr.. Baxter is a q. S. official
at Washington, residing there with his
family and came to CarroIlton last fall
and offered his vote which was refused
hence the suit. The Carroll Free Press
(radical) says;
Judge Frease held the law of Ohio,
passed April II, 1868, to preserve the puri-
ty of elections, to be, that if a man in fact
went TO Washington city with his family
to reside whilst IN the employ of the uni
ted States Government as q clerk, and
there to reside with the intention TO re-
turn to his original domicIl with no pres
emit intention to RETURN within any def
mite time, and only so soon as he should
leave the Government employ has lost his
residence for voting purposes IN this State,
under the seventh division of the first
section Section two) of that amendatory
act. And that too, notwithstanding he
has notAcyoted in the District and has
since his removal voted In Ohio, and has
always avowed and held his intention to
return to Ohio, so soon as he should leave
the Government employ"

BILL ALLEN, Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, is a free trader. That
means that our manufacturers are to have
no protection for home manufactures
Rep & Rep.
"BiIl Allen" never advocated "free
trade" never voted for free trade while in
Congress. What is the use of lying so
meanly and wantonly2
The Democratic party and Mr., Allen
with them favor a revenue tariff.
We advocate justice in levying tariff
duties upon the people, not injustice and
robbery as under the present tariff.
In short let eur government as the Con-
stitution prescribes, protect rights instead
of interests. The rights of the people are
what our laws should protect, but of late
our government has been a Salary Grab
Credit Mobilier machine, putting millions
into the pockets of \ few fayorite schem-
ers and plunderers.
This is the protection" the Grant or
gans favor and is the protection" that
bill Allen" opposes.

The Republicans of Ohio present as
their candidate for Governor, a man who
gave his services-and almost himself to
his country to suppress the rebellion /;
while upon the other hand, the Democra-
cy present a man who in "the time that
tried mems souls" lived in the strictest
retiracy, and whose only acts were to dis
courage and dishearten the brave soldiers
in the field, and embolden and endorse
such rebels as Vallandigham and Thur
