The first reafirns adhesion to the prIn-
ciples of the Republican convention at
Philadelphia in 1872 as embodying the true
ideas of American progress.
The second maintains the authority of
the general government to interfere tor the
preservation of domestic tranquility in the
several States, and acknowledges with graft
tude the interpositi0n in this State.
The third depreca ates any form of lawlese
ness, condemns turbulent agitation IN any
place, deplores violence, intimidation or the

Court Items.

OOurS 1sGm9o
The First District Court still languishes
without jury. The only way that court
can obtain panel is by requiring every
man drawn. who is subject to jury duty, to
serve out his term and not escape on friv-
olous or personal reasons. Under the law
the jury commissioners furnish certain
number. but if, because a mans wife is
sick, his business might suffer or be didn't
feel like it anyway, two-thirds are excused,
when, if any other call was made, the Juror
would leave his wife to the doctor, his
countingroom to his clerk and guess he
would get better after a while. the commits
sioners should not be compelled to draw
more names from the wheel. Thirty six is
the number from each court, and from that
number the judges must get enough for
each month: The letter of Judge Atocha
settles that point.
In the Superior District Court the case of
the Citizens Bank ia about at = stand still.
Under the orders Of Judge Hawkins the
sheriff took possession of all assets, includ-
ing the building. Plaintiffs counsel made
motion to have the property transferred
to the keeping Of the receivers and mana
gers, which was granted. Before this the
counsel for the bank fled what may be
called an application for . suspensive
appeal, though somewhat irregular. Judge
Hawkins was not to be found, and even if
he were it could hardly make any differ
ence. So the appeal lays in court subject
to his inspection.
Counsel for defense also submitted to
Justice Morgan, of the Supreme Court,
their grounds for the appeal. and further
grounds for prohibitory order. Justice
Morgan then, in the name Of the Supreme
Court, issued prohibitory order for fur
thor proceedings. This order, according to
the sheriff, was merely exhibited.
The sheriff, not serving either order, still
retains possession Of ths hank.

| Of the State Rowing Association took place
yesterday. A very large crcwd witnessed the
contest. but the war clouds and thunder
I clouds that prevailed throughout the day
prevented thousands from attending. The
steamer la Belle had been chartered by
| the Orleans Rowing Club. and large mum.
ber Of guests were on board. The arrange
ments were excellent; Refreshments were in
abundance, and the management commit
tee provided amply for the comfort, con-
venience and pleasure Of every one. The
steamers Katie, r. E. Lee, w. s. Pike and
Carrie A. Thorne also took up large nun.
Der Of spectators.
The rain that prevailed from one to two
O'Clock delayed the departure Of the steam
ere; in fact, at one time il was thought that
the regatta would be postponed.
At five o'clock the first race was called,
and the three boats were promptly in posi-
ton. This was . four-oared shell race,
course three miles straight away. and the
contesting crews were as follows:

Fitzpatrick. No. 3; NJ. Hopkins, stroke; Ad.
Hebler, coxswain.
The Riversides wen easily in nineteen
minutes four and three4uarters seconds, the
Pelicans coming in second. Orleans last.
The Orleans led two lengths for the first
two hundred yards. but were caught in .
heavy swell of waves, and in their aniety to
keep the lead, the crew pulled wildly and
thereby weakened themselves and were
defeated.
The second race did not begin till six
o'clock and after. 1t was the four cared gig
away race. course three miles straight When
the race began it was 700 dark to distin-
guish the boats, and this race was very un.
satisfactory. 1. is conceded that the How
ards won. but it was so dark that every
thing connected with this contest is left
uncertain. No official time has been given
tha. we know Of.

FUDGE's CREEK, Nov. 9, 1S74.-Once

ever. 10 enable the Guvandotte river to
regain her former env;able reputation as
a navigabe stream; not at least for the
largest sized canoes, unless they can be

some ingenious rooster TO set his wits To
work to get up a machine TO utilize the
superhuous gas that issues st regular in
tervals from Salt Rock; he would by so
doing, at once free the atmosphere OF
noxious vapors, and add one more 10 the
list of useful inventions. We yesterday
had the pleasure of listening to very
able as well as lengthy discourse by Rev.
L. Perry, after which services were closed
bv Rev. W. J. Weaver, of Virginia. Salt

Dedication OF the Congregational

ure and made locomotion pleasant.
Everything seemed propitious for

henSive OF q crowd commenced 10
assemble in the Church and steady
tide sat IN which continued until the
church was comfortably filled. Then
chairs we're introduced in the aisles

being no cars nor boats running, all
who attended were from the city and
its immediate neighborhood. The
Steamer Jessie was expected to
bring load from Ironton but she
did not reach here. At eleven
O'Clock the time for the commence,

leadership of Mr. n. W. Haines.
At eleven o'clock the services were

chanted by a quartette composed OF
the Misses Love. soprano and alto,
Gen. Obey, tenor and Mr.. Sample
base.
| DIR. Rankin, then preached an elo
Quent and instructive sermon from

HORRIBLE MURDER AT CINCISNA-
Tr.-One of the most horrible MUIR
ders We ever heard of, took place in
Cincinnati last Saturday night. A
young man named Schilling, who
was Waterman in a tannery, was at
tackled in the stable of the works on
last Saturday night by some parties
and murdered, and then thrust into
the fue of the furnace which runs
the engine, by which the body was
almost consumed. The man was
first attacked with pitchfork which
was run through him, he was then
beaten and choked to death. The
men have been arrested who are &C
cused of the crime; the parties are
all Germans. The murderers are sup
posed to be Andreas Egner, Fred
Egner and George Rufer. Schil-
ling formerly boarded with Egnsr,
and was accused of seducing his
daughter, who on the other hand is
said to have been girl of very bad
character. Egner threatened to kill
Schilling, and Rufer was known to
hate him. The details of the muir
der are too sickening to relste. The
remains of the murdered man were
found in the furnace, almost consul
med; all that remained, were por-
ton of the skull, 6 or 8 ribs, the spine
and some parts of the arms and legs.
The flesh was almost entirely consul
med.
Schilling was said TO have been
a good looking, kindhearted fellow
who was generally popular with his
fellow workmen. He was unmarried
and had no relations in the city.
The suspected murderers have
been arrested, and the circumstan-
tial evidence coupled with their
threats is strong against them.
