erable numbers, and the indications are
that before the week is ended a quo.
rum Of both branches will be here.
The conversation Of the Democratic
members shows that they are the same
untaught and unteachable Bourbons.
Even so sagacious man as Beck Of
Kentucky, can see in the recent Repub-
lican rcverses only positive Democratic
gains. The friends of Beck admit that
he is candidate for the United
States Senate, and that the reason Of
his declining nomination is found in
this fact.
AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO PREVENT THE
HOLIDAY ADJOURNMENT.
The near advent of Congress has
called attention to the exceeding short

usual holiday vacation is observed,

in the session. An effort will be made
to prevent the holiday adjournment,
but it is not probable that such move.

tention of the working members who
have arrived to have As much work as
possible sent to committees before the
holidays, in the expectation that ma.
jority Of the principal committees will
be willing to sit during the recess.

1eTTlDle At10ar IN benton county,
A terrible affair occurred in the town
Of St. George, Benton county, Tuesday
last, for the details of which we arc in
debtcd to the St. Cloud Times. 1t ap.
pears that a man by the name Of John
Hicks has farm on St. George Prairie,
and one of his sons, Mr.. Sidney Hicks,
came to his place for some oats, which
his father had told him he could have.
The young man went to the grancry to
put up the oats, and shortly after, his
father came out, and said that he
guessed he had got enough. This led
to dispute, when the young man
picked up an old axe which
stood near by, and struck his
father once on the head, once
on the neck, and once on the shoulder,
with the edge Of the tool. 1t very
luckily happened that the axe was
very dnll, or he would certainly have
split the old gentleman's head open, AS
soon as he could, the old gentleman
grappled the young man around the
body and and arms, and called for help.
The lady folks in the house came out,
but by that time the old gentleman had
got the young man down, after which
the axe was taken from him, and be
let up. He then got on his wagon load
Of oats, and drove to Sauk Rapids, where
he sold them, and where he was ar
rested by Samuel Carpenter, sheriff Of
Benton county, upon warrant issued
by his brother, William Hicks. He
was brought to this city late last night,
and lodged in Jail. His trial is going
on now in Sauk Rapids, before Mr.,
Justus Carpenter, justice Of the peace
Mr.. Samuel Carpenter says that the
young man is vicious individual, and
that he will probably 60 to Stillwate,

man was between sixty and seventy
years Of age. From DR.. Gilman, who
was called to dress tho wounds, VIC
learn that there is a prospect cf the
old gentleman recovering, but at the
time Of writing he is very low, having
lost a large quantity of blood.

The Beecher-TiIton wina-up.

The Plymouth Investigating Committee nave
faithfully performed their duty, and brought In
verdict acquittiug Mr.. Beecher, and expressing
greater confidence than ever in him. This was
what they were appointed for, and such would
have been their report, no matter what the testi-
niouy might have been.
Moulton gave in his full statement. 1t was a
document fully as singular as TIltOu's or Beech
er's; but it impressed us with the feeling that he
was making defence of Tilton, rather than an
impartial statement. According to his story,
Moulton was tremendous man in this affair.
He had Bercher, Tilton, and Others in bis bands
as puppets, and they were all under obligations
not to write receive a letter, or even to think,
without advising with him, or showing or tell
ing him what they had done or thought When
ever Beecher would have criminal intercourse
with woman, he would hasten to tell Moulton
oft. Mrs. Tilton is supposed to have been a
woman of at least common modesty, yet she
would coolly sit down and tell Moulton of the
times she had committed adultery with Beecher.
When Beccher would get friendly letter from his
sister, or one accusing him of lcchery, he would
give it to Moulton to keep for him. Mrs. Tilfon
would tell Moulton dreadfHl stories of her bad
ness, and when he was gone, would write him
that she had lied to him, and tell him she would
lie to him again if he questioned her! He tells
all this mess of filth, as if he expected people to
accept it as reasonable facts.
On the occasion Of the Report ofthe Committee,
Moulton was present, and objected to portions of
it: wherenpon the crowd came near mobbing
him, and the police had to interfere. Women
Al:
Moulton. Now Moulton threatens to tell the
whole story, the worst of which is yet to come.
We don't believe there is such a person as Beech
er, or Tilton, or Mrs Tilton, OF Moulton, or Mrs.
Woodhull. They are all fictitious creations of
the brain of some crazy mau like Edgar A. Poe.
Plymouth Church ought to be indicted for cir
cnlaring obscene publications. But if there really
are such persons, they are all tarred with the
same stick. They should all be sewed up in
huge sack and sunk in He'll Gate.

II Our friend, Charley Jones' has been ont of
luck again. He appeared in the State ConveIl-
tion, as u delegate from Harvey County; but his
seat was contested, upon the ground that he was
not resident of the County, but was merely a
route agent on railroad passing through the
County. Charley managed to get the Commit
tee on Credentials to report in his favor, but
other members went for him. He made touch
ing appeal to the Convention, saying that he had
a homestead in the County, and was a resident
but it was shown that he had par ticipated in the
meeting of the Congressional Committee of the
First District in June, member from Osborn
County. The result was, that the Convention nn-
ceremoniusly showed him under, notwithstand-
ing sharp turn be took to enlist majority of
the Convention in his behalf. We saw no more
of Charley; but we can safely predict that he
will appeal in the next Convention, as a dele
gate from some County away off in another di-
rectiOn.

SEVERAL FAcrs.-We do not wish to prevent
the Republican from copying extracts from the
files of the Chief We have files from the COM
mencement, and will allow it the use of them, if
it desires to go back to the beginning. The Chief
has been in the habit of speaking its mind in
plain English,upon occurrences as they transpred.
We have denounced the course of men ON some
occasions, whom We could afterwards heartily
support under other circumstances aud upon
other issues. We have even condemned certain
acts of men whom we at the same time support
ed, as being the best we could do under the cir
cnmstances. IL shows that the opinions of the
Chief are of some force, when they are hunted up
and quoted years afterwards. The RepublioaH is
in no danger of having its record aired. 1t has
no original or independent opinions; and its
wishy-washy insipidity is seldom worth quoting
or remembering two weeks after it Oozes. And
while condemning the tactics pursued by Col
Phillips to secure his denomination, re our bump
of self fconceit tells us, that when the rub comes
the Chief will he of more service TO him than a
dozen Doniphan County Republicans-outside
printed in ST. Louis.

It's ANswER.-If "a soft answer turneth away
wrath, we should have no cause to be offended
at the Repablicdn's answer to our conundrums
last week, for it is soft enough to suit the most
fastidious. Its reason for abusing us for speak.
ing in favor of Judge Price is, that we misrepre-
seDted it. In our article relative to Judge Price,
We did not mention nor allude to the Republican
in the slightest degree; yet, in its very next is
sue, it went for rs most terrifically-because we
misrepresented it 1t was in favor of Judge Price,
but it wanted to help him by showing what liars
and scoundrels were supporting him.
Such stuff as that would be unworthy of lu-
natic. Now. hear our answer to the conundrum.
You did it with the expectation that Price and
his friends would snub as, and drive us from his
support, and that you could crow and blow over
it. But finding that they were disposed to drop
old quarrels, and make friends wherever they
could, you became soured, and while pretending
to support Price, did it in q way to show that
you hoped and expected his defeat In your last
issue, you confess as much, and cannot conceal
your qualification at the result. Yon preferred
to see Price defeated, rather than succeed with
our help.
