well. We'd been partners in Californy.
He was one of the best fellers / ever
knowed, and we was always gettiR'

the heaviest thug on me when he
died As soon as he was shot see he
was a goner. i helped him up on the
bank, and eased him off all | could,
sayin' over all the Bible 1 knowed,
and promisin' to give his watch and
gun to his folks. But Gus wanted
me to agree to send him to Frisco,
where bis folks lived. So l promised,
and he died happy. Well, | buried
him on the spot temporary. Three
years after, when l cal'ated he was
about eat up, went for his bones.
Now what do you think Gus had been
and gone and done? Why, as he was
buried in ilkili, he'd gone and turned
himself into solid stone, and then he
expected me to pay freight on him all
the way to Friscol l did it, though,

The time for voting upon the ques-
tion Of the adoption of the new Con-
stitution is near at hand. One of the
most important questions tofbe voted
upon at the election to be heldaon the
18th of August is that of e License or
No License If the people vote No,
the organic law on the subject viii
remain the same as for tine last twenty
years. If they vote yes. and the new
Constitution shall be adopted, the or
ganic law will be so changed as to
authorize and require.the Legislature
to enact a "Iicense law" regulating
the traffic IN Intoxicating liquors. The
issue is a very plain one, and no true
friend of temperance should hesitate
as to his duty in the premises. The
so-called temperance people, those
who are banded together in temper
aDce leagues and as "crusaders' are
putting forth their utmost efforts,
spending their time and money to de-
feat the 'slicense" provision, though II
is difficult to understand what good
they thereby expect to gain for the
cause of temperance. The crusaders
themselves admit, nay, they even con-
tend that under our present laws upon
the subject inteinperance is alarming
Iy on the increase, and this seems to
be the experience of every State and
community where the prohibitoFy,
policy has been tried. They know
that by continuing the present policy
they leave the matter just where it
has been for the last twenty three
years, when by voting flor lieense'
they place the whole traffic under the
restraints of law and the control of
the public authorities, How any one
who believes in the capacity and right
of the people TO govern themselves
and to regulate their own affairs, can
vote for the puritanicaI proscriptive
policy Of debating to his neighbors
what he shall eat, and wha. he shall
drink, and wherewithal lie shall be
clothed, we are unable to comprehend.
1t is wholly contrary to our ideas of
Democracy. 's tess hlpus ngalsi
We believe that If this. question is
thoroughly discussed and. fairly cou-
sidered by the people throughout the
State, the provision "For iLieense,
will be carried by an overwhelm-
ing maiority. e..a

Thought only for my short talk. This
day is dedicated 10 civil liberty.
Is there one element for civil freedom
named in the Declaration or reserved
in the Constitution which this Admin
istration has conserved, or which it
has tried to abridge or destroy? What
mockery to tel! louisiana that she
derives her just powers from the con-
sent of the governed that she is an
equal State, according IN her music

a scandal to tell South CaroIiIfa that
taxation and representation go togeth-
erl What sham to talk to Arkansas
about being fitIy organized-between
safety and happiness How simple
our talk of the tyranny OF George Ill.
over the colonies, while the unim-
peaehed Durell pockets the proceeds
of bankrupts, State. and individual,
and wears the spotless ermine, and
the holy "Moses," Governor of South
Carolina, escapes indictment by the
dignity ofhis Office What a commen-

ing levied as before the war, and that

have formed an association called the

ed q series of resolutions, one of which
reads as follows: 'sThat we consider
that the provisions ofthe local option
law, which only allows the sale of
wines and liquors il quantities of five
gallons, only deprived the poor man
who is unable to stock his cellar with
wines and liquors of the comforts of
life to which ne may have been aceus-
TONED, while the rich man will in no

Asrumor was rife through these
parts last Saturday evening that a
murder had been committed in Miles.
which rumor grew out OF, the factthat
parties in Rowland saw a man driving
team of horses at the. top of their
speed, and hard pressed by a couple
of men in a single buggy, Subsequent
facts proved that it was no murder,
but a thief On Saturday morning a
man alighted 'front.' the .morning ex-
press on the A 81 q. w r. R., and
went to Bassetts livery stable and -ap-
piled for team of horses bat was re-
fused. He then. went to Kistlers 81
Harris, stable where he procured their
best team. At Adams 81 Co.'s he
bought a light overrcoat, and showed
a large roll Of bills, which attracted
attention, being am uncommon exhibit
tiou, considering the money market.
From his city TIC. strang GER went TO
Miles, where it appears the SheriM OF
Huntington CO., Ind was was watch
ing for an opportunity to "nab" him
on the charge of robbery, he having
taken from the safe of his employer,
in Huntingdon $1,000. The thief.
whose name is Jack Walters, and the
Sheriff, heard of each other about the
same time. and then commenced a
lively and exciting chase. In Niles,
Walters asked boy named Hamilton
TO ride with him the boy, unsuspect-
ing, got in, and was forced to keep his
seat al the nluzzle of a cooked revolver,
They dashed out through Howland,
by the Springs, the Sheriff in hot pur-
suit. Parties who saw the chase say
it was lively but the team 4 was too
fast, and playing the whip, the thief
soon distanced his pursuers.-He
would aggravates them by stopping oc-
easionalIy, until they were, within a
few rods, when he would wave his
handkerchief at them, and then dash
ON aQain.-On Sunday evening, the
boy Hamilton returned to this city
with the team, and reports that he let
the man out somewhere below Poland,
Ohio, after which he took to the woods
The lean, notwithstanding the hard
drive, was in. good condition on Mon
day. Al is usual in such affairs, there
is a woman in the case, who resides
at Niles, and is at present closely
shadowed by officers. Parties are at
fer Walters and he may yet be caught.
It is said he was. formerly of Youngs-
town, and was known there. by the
name of s'Iyorys Jack. p Wqgren
