the New York Tribune his views on
the Republican defeat, and says the
result shows the necessity for liberal
and magnanimous policy. With

cause of the late defeats, he said thou
sands OF Republicans did not vote or
voted against the party to check some
OF its tendencies, and if the party
adopt a prudent, liberal and lofty
course it will sweep the country again.
Among the other causes were the dis.
satisfaction of the unemployed, who
had lost work from the effects of the
panic; the burden Of the Louisiana
matter. land he didn't think either
party right in Louisiana,) and the
third term question. He does not bc.

MURDER. : On Friday morning
a dispatch came over the lines to
FRANK BARRETT, from Desmoines,
Iowa, stating that his wife had been
murdered in that city on Thursday
night. The operator was unable to
have the dispatch delivered as BAR
RETT was not to be found in the city.
Nothing more was thought of the
matter until Saturday morning, when
Marshal DALE received tbs following
telegram from the Marshal of Des-
moines:
"CITY MARsHAL:-ELLA, wife of
FRANK BARRETT, was murdered in
her room last Thursday night Look
for BARRETT in your city"
Marshal DALE has been unable to
find BARRETT, he, as yet, having failed
to put in an appearance. BARRETT
was born and raised in this county.
He left several years since for Iowa,
where he married the lady referred
to in the telegram.
