HoMICIDE IN TIE CoUNTY-A MAN BEAT
EN- TO DEATH WITH A BILLY.-On Saturday
night, the 18th instant, an ARRAY occurred at
Aberdeen Station, on the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad, in which
Stephen Wallace, n colored man, was beaten
to death in most shocking manner by two
colored men, named George Dorsey and Will
liam Williams The particulars of the tragc-
dy, as developed at the coroners inquest, arc
rs follows:
Dorsey having made some jesting remark
about Wallaces wife, of whom he had been
sutton before her marriage to Wallace, a fcud
thereupon began between them. On last Sat
urday night, about eight or nine o'clock,
Wallace met Dorsey in company with his
friend William Williams, at Aberdeen. Dor
sey Immediately talked about whipping
Wallace, who said: "If you want satismc-
ton, here am-take it y
Dorsey then advanced and struck Wallace
with billy, or something else he had in his
hand, knocking him down. While Wallace
was down Dorsey showe:ed deadly blows
upon his head with the same weapon, and
Williams also joined him in brutally beating
the unfortunate man. The effect of their
blows was to fracture Wallace's skull upon
the right side; his left jaw bone was broken,
and the back of his head, between the ears,
was beaten into a jelly. Notwithstanding
the terrible beating he had received, Wallace
arose and walked to his home, Il distance of
at least TWO miles, where he died in about an
hour after the occurrence.
Squire Harris held coroncr's inquest, and
after post norton examination of the de-
ceased by DR.. George M. Freeman, and n
most careful and thorough investigation of
the facts, the jury rendered a verdict to the
effect that Wallace came to his death by
blows inflicted with billy or some other
deadly weaponin the hands of George Dorsey;
and that he was aided bv William Williams
Dorsey and Williams were arrested by Con-
stable Sunderland, and committed to Jail by
Justice Harris, to answer the charge at the
ensuing term of Court
The murdered man bore most excellent
reputation, as quiet, inoffensivc and indus.
trious man. He was formerly in the employ
of Mr.. William F. Pannell, of this county.
His family consists of wife and several
children.

MIsTAKEN-Thc New York Tribune crro-
neously classes the Hon. Stevenson Archer
as an infationist, because he voted for the
resolution to tax United States bonds and
against the salary grab. The Baltimore Sun
thinks that there may be n difference ofopin-
ion as to the expedicncy of taxing U. S.
bonds, without necessarily involving its sup
porters in the category of deliberate and con-
firmed repudationists. Mr.. Archer's vote
on both the bond question and the salary
grab will meet with the unqualified endorse
ment of his con stituents.

LOCAL OPTION IN MARYLAND.-An cleo
ton was held last week in the counties of
Queen Anne's Talbot, Caroline and Dor
chester, on the license question, the result
being that twenty districts went against the
sale of liquor, and only seven for granting IL
censc TO sell it. According to the terms of
the law local option will not prevail in cleo
ton districts which have voted for license
The result has been decided victory for the
friends of temperance.

A FOOL AID HIS NoHEY.

The old adage is true, "a fool and his
money are soon parted" 1t is IS true to-day
as ever. Witness the Good Deacon Houston.
He had aspirations for Congress. He had
made 100000 in his Office of T.. Marshal,
in three yeors, on salary Of 5000 year.
A man who could save 50 much out OF a
small salary ought to go to Congress. With
the sos, 600 the Good Deacon had show,
at any rate, so he thought. Nobody else,
however, seemed to think with him, except
few poor devils whom he hired to edit his
paper at from $40 to S25 per week. The
Deacon thought that considering the hard
times and the "quinch bugs" s., 600 would
he enough to do the work. He expended
about g. 800 and got "nary" vote.
His immediate friends say the campaign
cost the Deacon between $1,000 and $1,000
but the Deacon insists that it only cost him
$500. Well, it's good fun for the boy, but
it does draw on the Deacon's purse, particu
larry when that purse has to stand drair
of loss by bank failures Of few thousands
a few more thousands through TOpeka
concern, few thousands through the Nov
city Mills at Garnett; drain OF SZO,OO
dead loss through the investment in thu
Commercial, and steady drain OF S6,O0t
per annum to keep the thing running
Taking all these losses together, the Coco
Deacon pays dearly for the privilege o
running for Congress and venting his spleeI
| against those whom he hates, and demon
strates the old saying that "a fool and hi
money are soon parted"

THE HARMONIOUS"

The Lawrence Tribune, the opposition or.
gan, gives the following account of the Ill.
kenny engagement in the opposition con.
vention at Ottawa, between Gov. Robinson
and Sidney Clarke:
He (Robinson) was terse, bitter, clear and
fierce in denunciation of Clarke. OF course
| there was great interest and some excite.
ment
Clarke being now put on his defense, upon
motion il was voted that he should have an
opportunity TO reply. His speech was a fear,
iul attack upon the honor If Gov. Il. He
denied nearly everything the Governor as.
serted and asserted what he denied The
quarrel was mortal and the issue of veracity
! complete.
We shall not report these speeches, for no
good can accrue to the public from printing
the details Of the story The convention
was sickened and disguised with the whole
affair
After Clarke had concluded Robinson was
extremely anxious to say something further.
Amid cries of "Vote, vote! No, nor ETC.,
it was proposed to give them five minutes
more, but the motion was tabled; but Gov.
Robinson finally obtained leave to deny in
most emphatic and brief terms the truth OF
what had been said by Clarke, and to with
draw his name from the convention.
There was call for a vote, loud and per-
sistent Taylor said, ..If We are beat We will
acquiesce, but don't propose to be showed
under" There was great uproariousne.s
Many desired to speak, none could be heard.
Delegates were intensely solicitous and non-

PASTORAL WHITING.

The Chicago Post is opposed to "pastora
visiting"-it thinks this is the cause of near
" all The trouble the preacher falls into
and herein all thinking people will agres
with the Post Again on the same subject
the Post remarks:
1t squanders his time, makes a parlOl
lounyer of him, robs his pulpit Of power
and thereby gives the devil the long end oi
the lever. Ii makes a puPpet Of him among
his parishioners, and then they wonder why
he doesn't &c up better ''show" for Sun
day. Perpetual visiting is the bane Of large
churches. Ii keeps the pastoral mind for
ever on the wing of social rather than reli-
gio,ls excitement, and the women forever
wagging the tongue of gossip over the looks,
WAYS. words and possible weaknesses of the
minister. The seasons of strongest preach
ing, and greatest moral and spiritual eleva-
ton OF the congregation. are the seasons
when visits are mainly to the study and the
altar in the closet. No preacher ever awoke
a revival interest while hall his time was
consumed in visits. 1t is time the people
encouraged the pastor to work more in the
pulpit and prayer-meeiing and less in the
parlor. There is a sufficient tendency to la
zines among the clergy without help that
way from the laity. One strong reason why
50 many thinking men stay at home and
turn half-in6dsl is that they are fed with
such weak mental fodder at church. More
closet and pulpit work and fewer fam ly
visits must be the motto Of the coming kings
Of the sacred platform. Aud their reward
shall be the solemn blessings from death
beds instead of boudoira

THEN AND now.

II any proofs needed to show the abso-
lutte unreliability Of the Great and Good
Deacon Houston, We will furnish that evil
dence in the following extracts from the
Commercial, written a few days prior to the
late Congressional Convention. From the
Commercial Of Aug. 16, 1874:
Deacon Larimer and Judge Lecompte are
delegates, both for Houston.
Houston delegates elected in every ward
in the city.
All the districts of the county solid for
Houston.
Leayenworth county gives fourteen votes
for Houston.
Delegates of his (Houston's) choice to the
Number Of forty-one have already been
elected
Col. Houston regards his nomination As
his thanks for the enthusiastic support given
him yester lay, and expresses the belief that
no combination of other candidates can de-
feat him if the people of Leavenworth will
only continue that support until the Con-
vention assemblies.
From the Commercial Of Aug. Is, 1874:
No election for second delegate in the
First Ward.
Col. Houston has been steadily gaining
strength since the date of the public an
nouncement that he had decided to become
candidate for Congress.
Houston will receive, on tie first ballot, a
larger vote than any other candidate before
the convention.
We desire to have it distinctly understood
that Col. Houston abides by the decision of
the primaries Saturday evening.
Houston will undoubtedly be nominated,
and what is better still, will carry the dis
trict by 10000 majority.
Now the Good Deacon has lost faith in
everybody. He don't even look back with
pleasure to the DAYS when he made 1000
in three years ON a salary Of 5000.

THE FAIR.

The State Fair opened in this city yester-
day, with most hauering prospects. Every
thing indicates that the exhibition, rs an
agricultural show, is to be grand success.
There is a fine display already on the
ground, Of fruits and vegetables, and the
Fine Arts Hall is well filed. The attend
ance from abroad is good Yesterday, being
the opening day, was Of course mainly. de-
voted to getting ready, but the entries
already made, anu the number OF articles
on the ground, all show that the peo-
pie take a lively interest in the Fair.
The success OF the present exhibition will
do much 20 reiute the exaggerated sto-
ries that have gone abroad in relation to
the failure of crops in Kansas, and is there
fore matter i'm which every citizen of the
State is interes Let the citizens OF Leav-
enworth leave nothing undone 10 make the
exhibition a complete success.

TIE HUMBOLDT PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Republicans
, Of the Second Congressional District OF this
State, in convention at Humboldt
has the ring of the true metal
Is il not long but it covers
wide range OF subjects, and every plank
while brief, is terse and TO the point. Tie
platform favors the improvement Of the
harlor Of Galveston, opposes land grants to
railroads, favors an amendment to the con-
stitution making the President elective 10y
direct vote Of the people, approves the Re
publican policy of institutins investigation
and exposing corruptions in office, favorS the
regulation OF railroad tariffs by national leg
islat;on, congratulates the Gage land set
tiers upon their victory in the courts, and
endorses the course OF our present delegation
in CoSsress. 1t is sound, sensible docu
ment, and embodies Just such sentiments a:

dorse and support.
With a candidate above rcIroach, and Al
nexceptionable platform, the Republicans
of the Second District have cle.r sailing.
