Alexander II. Stephens.receutly delivered
an address in the Georgia House of Repre-
sentativeS. He had nothing startling to
PROFOUND but rathor astonished his hear
erS by stating his belief that in the case of
| Louisiana the President has 50 far only done
what was his duty to do-eniorce decree
| of Federal Court, leaving the rightful-
ness of that decision to the final review of
the Supreme Court.
The Georgia Legislature, which will con
yene on the Sth of January, viii elect u
nited States Senator to succeed Hon.
Joshua Hill, and it i believed the coming
man is Gen. Gordon, an ex-Coniederate off
Ger, whose disabilities were removed by the
General Amnesty bill passed last session.
The Exeter IN. H. Neics Letter d" hears
it suggested that in the re reorganization of
the Presidents Cabinet, after the 18th of
March, the name of Senator j. W Patter-
son of our own State will be prominent for
an appointment New Hampshire has
had no representative in the Cabinet since
the retirement of Secretary Woodbury. in
1871.
This, coming from that Democratic sheet,
the Louisville (Ky.) Courer-Journal. is
evidence that the world progresses:
'Liberality toward the blacks is not
treason TO the principle of home rule. or
local self-goyernment, by which, and not
through the Federal Government. the reca-
nation of the black population is sought.
a man is no longer charged with being
about to pave his way into the Radical party
because he contends for the white mans
duty to instruct and the black mans need
of instruction. If we would be wise, if we
would be true to the political conviction.
oh g 1.al.,..
rather TO parade than TO practice, we must
reduce ourselves from the sublimation of
abstract theories in State rights to the level
of that prosperous, practical home-rule, |
which, alongside of us in Ohio and Indiana,
keeps step to the rattle of the schoolman's |
mace of modern ciyilation.'
Gen Heron of Louisiana sums I'D the |
political muddle in that State very briefly |
saying that Gov. Warm 9th, failing to get |
the Republican nomination, traded with the |
Democrats for the SeI atorship, and both |
are very sore at their defeat. Gen Heron |
says an investigation will prove that the |
State went Republican by $1,000 to Is 900

most interesting in the annals Of criminal
trials, and the evidence, though conclusive
was entirely circumstantial. Ben Mckeeyer,
the murdered man, was shot from his horse
at night near the residence of the Shelbys,
his throat cut, and his body carried on horse
back three miles, and thrown into cave in
the prairie $50 feet deep. \ large rock was
placed on the bloody spot where his throat
was cut, and apparently every precaution
was taken to avoid detection. The appear
ance of the rock indicated TO the keen eye of
the frontiersman that it had been recently
placed there. Close by it was paper wadding
that had been fired from a shot gun On ex-
aiming the gun of Ben Shelby, paper wad-
ding was found in it, and another piece of
paper found under Shelby's doorstep. In his
house was found the Chimney Corner periOdi-
cal, and it was ascertained by comparison
that the three pieces of gun wadding had
been torn from that paper. A small frag-
ment of McKeeyer's coat, of peculiar texture,
found at the bloody spot, revealed the fact
that the murder was committed there. There
were many other circumstances pointing to
the accused persons as the murderers, but
one deserves especial mention. On carefully
placing the paper where the blood had been
found by the rock, and comparing it with
the wadding found in Ben Shelby's gun, the
following enigma could be read from one
paper TO another

official canvass Of New York State has been
discovered, which cheated Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robinson out Of 1000 votes actually
cast for him. Fortunately the general re-
suit was not affected.
The Louisville Courier-Journai compares
the Democracy to a dilapidated old house,
which needs tearing down and rebuilding
The first part seems to have been pretty
thoroughly accomplished.
The popular vote of sixteen Southern
States, including Missouri, gave Grant an
actual majority of 80, 1855 votes over Greeley.
The President does not desire Secretary
Belknap to leave the Cabinet but has in
vited him to remain for another term.
The Democratic majority in the Tennessee
Legislature are split into Andy Johnsonites
or Liberals, and Bourbons, who refuse to
affiliate.
The Richmond papers are less intensely
partisan than those Of other Southern cities,
and their temper is reflected in the tolera-
ton of the people of the State for Northern
ideas and the encouragement to Northern
immigration.

RESISTANCE TO TIRE TAX. We doubt
whether the efusal OF the selectmen to make
up rate-bills will meet the case. As weun-
derstand it, the Treasurer will issue his
warrants direct to the constables FIRST, and
in their neglect, to other officers. If they
cannot get rate-b ills, We suppose they may
levy upon any pro perty they choose to raise
the amount of the tax. In case all officers
refuse there will be light penalties to be
collected, and then probably the Legisla-
ture VII be convene, and the defect in the
laws will be remedie d. That the Legisla-
ture, after the comp laining counties have
twice appealed to it a nd been refused, will
abate one jot or title Of their grand list I'M
der the fear of rebel lion, we do not be-
lieve. The threat of resistance will only
strengthen the determin alton of the rest of
the state that the laws shall be obeyed
This is our conviction, and of course we be-
lieye the wisest thing for the selectmen of
franklin county to do Is to obey the laws.
In old times, the custom of Vermont was ''to
doom" towns which failed in their grand
list. We presume that Chittenden, Frank
lin and Grand Isle counties will prefer not
to be doomed - any more. Pay up, gen

give you, and the best that any genuine
