The 26th of April is regarded as me-
mortal day in the South, but as it fell on
Sunday this year, the 9th was observed
at Augusta, Atlanta, Montgomery and
other cities. The celebration is usually
postponed several weeks in this city on
account of the uniavorable weather
which usually prevails. No announce
ment has been made this year, but we
presume the lady managers Of the Ne
mortal Association will make suitable
arrangements for the beautiful tribute
usua ily paid to the lamented dead.

1t will be the reverse Of law and entail upon the
country the curse Of that miserable seryitude, 90
much abhored and denounced where all ID vague
and uncertain in the fundamentals OF government.
Let Congress once pass bill adopting
Gen. Henderson's views, and its jurisdic-
\ ton, equipments and staff will speedily
sweep from center to circumference of agri-
culture, manufactures and all the arts and
industries of peace employed in commerce.
One by one the reservations of power by
the States will be insidiously absorbed, un-
til in little while their control Of even
their own local commerce will be drained
of into the Federal vortex. Encroach-
ments, disguised by arguments Of expedi-
ency, establish precedents which ultimately
devote generous and unsuspicious people
to all the consequences Of usurped power.
The staff of Office holders, their supernu-
meraries, dependents, and minions, will
incubate and swarm over and eat out the
industries of the citizen. 1t now requires
sixty-odd pages of the Blue Book to hold
the names alone Of the office holders in the
custom house and revenue service. And
who can foretell what numberless pages
will have to be added to enable the rank
and file OF this new army of political emls-
saries commissioned to wage war OF es-
pionage and dictation upon individuals and
property employed in the pursuits OF COM
merce? And what new ways and means
will be devised and instituted still further
to burden the industry and production OF
the country to raise revenue wherewith to
meet the demands of the new payroll!
We say to the voters of this district, be-
ware of giving your votes to man like
Henderson whose views are diametrically
opposed to that Home Rule which alone
can preserve your liberties and contribute
to your prosperity. Stand by the soldier
and farmer, Elliott, who is pledged to
stand by State Control, aid by free water
courses to the ocean.

A SHOOTING ARRAY AT HIGHLASp


A SHOOTING ARRAY AT HIGHLAND
The village of Highland, in Iowa
County, was thrown into great excite
ment on Thursday last, by the arrival
OF the Sheriff of Sank county, accom-
panied by a constable from Arena,
who was in search of a man answer
ing to the name OF Crow. Crow had,
in fit of frenzy, kicked his own child
to death in a most horrible manner,
killed his brother in law, and fleeing
after firing a barn. Crow was traced
and overtakea by the officers and two
assistants, about two miles west of
Highland. He was armed with an
axe, and being powerful and desperate
man, became a most fearful antagonist
The Sheriff, who, it is said, had before
taken the fellow in custody and knew
the dangerous character of his man,
ordered him to give up the axe and
surrender. To which request Crow
refused and advanced toward the
Sheriff, when the officer fired with his
revolver, the shot taking effect just
above the knee; this only staggered
but did not bring him down. Crow
upon being ordered TO yield second
time replied, "Only with my life" the
officer fired four more shots-two of
which took effect in the abdomen,
causing him to tall heavily forward.
Crow expired in about twenty minutes,
in great agony. The body was taken
Arena, but no weapons, other than
a pocket knife was found up the per-
son. Grow is reported TO have been
insane, and escaped from custody
when he committed the dreadful deeds
above mentioned. Considerable feel.
ing prevails at Highland, regarding
the killing, the belief prevailing that
the man could have been taken easily
without firing a shot.

st. valsntine.s Day.

| Next Saturday is Valentines day
From what it derives it's name, it il

of The name of Valentine lived, anc

third century, and was after death
canonized as . saint, are historica
facts which are undoubted F; but nc
history either of the martyr or biz
time furnish any reason why the l4tt
of February or any other day, should
be Designated or commemorated as
Saint Valentines day. The custom
airy notice and usage of the day at
the present time and for many years
past, has simply consisted of at inter
change, between lovers, friends and
sometimes enemies, OF pictures. senti-
mental, fancifui. occasionally beauti-
full, but generally ridiculous carica-
lures, expressive of some particular
feeling, fancy or pique, and which
are often more annoying than agree
BILE and causes of enmity, rather
than sources OF pleasure.
In earlier times, the day was bet
ter observed, and the rnissives ex-
changed were of higher order, and
more serious and significant in their
purport and object. Until the fore
part of the present century, an ex-
preston of affection in q valentine
was almost considered q declaration
of love, and an interchange of valen-
tines between parties who seemed
partially inclined toward each other,
was considered a kind of m utual pre-
emption for at least year to come,
which not infrequently was merged
in possessory title, more sacred in
It's character, and terminated or ex-
tinguished only by death.
Were the valentines of this day,
all or mostly all, chaste and elegant
in design and expression, a little
sentiment or refined innuendo, would
be properly admissible, and even
warm hearted wishes and ardent
admissions, would not be objectiona-

compels us to say, that the surplus
age of unmeaning and disgusting
caricatures, and of coarse attempts
at satire without wit or decency.
which has for the last half century
increased and now predominates,
has 80 lowered the character of the
day, that it's return is but little MOTTO
ed in refined society, and its observ-
ance is mostly confined to those who
are as common and vulgar as the
pictures which they circulate.

Good Templars in Grant County
Progress Of the Order.

The following report was omitted
last week in the published proceed
ings of the Quarterly Meeting of the
Grant County Good Templars
To the Officers and members Of the
18th Dis. Convention l. 0 G. T.:
Your Committee on State of the
Order beg leave to make this re-
port
From the report given by the We
rious lodges represented in the Con-
vention, the state of the order looks
very fiattering. When we last met
in Convention in Platteville, Oct.
21st and 22d, 1873, we had but four
lodges in the county with an aggre-
gate mem bership of about no mem
bers. We now have six lodges rep
resent ted in this convention with an
aggregate mem bership OF 285. With
reports from three o;her lodges with
an aggregate membership of 10,
will snow the number OF members
now in good standing to be in the
county 545, being al increase since
our last convention of 375 members.
The financial condition also seems
to be very encouraging; only two
lodges are reported as being in debt
and these two only lightly. The
interest in the lodges seems to DO in
creasing, as we'll as in the order
generally and with our members
true TO themselves, true to our order,
and true to humanity We see moth
ing but q glorious future before us.
Submitted in Faith, Hope, and
Charity by the Committee,
