Horrible Murder.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 4.
A horrible murder occurred at Suncook
to-day, Miss Langmade, daughter of James
Il. Langmadc, a highly respectable citizen
of Suncook, left her home this morning for
school, having half mile to walk, part of
the way through the woods. Not returning
at the usual hour, search was made and the
woods secured. At o'clock this evening
her body was found in the woods a half
mile from the road with the head nearly
served from the body. She had been out
ragged and murdered. Intense excitement
exists in the community.

years from the close of the War they
have been allowed to gain control Of
the National House of Representa-
tives. Does this look as if the Re
publican party were the party of hate?
The Republican party desires the
complete restoration of sectional har-
mony and the re-establishment of
peaceful relations between the States
with each other and with the Nation
al Government. The only thing it
dislikes in the South is the constant
confusion and turmoil growing out
of partisanship, the contempt for law
and order, and the intimidation of
voters, and the murder of negroes.
There is desire on the part of the
Republican party that these outrages
should end, but there is no hatred
towards the South.

feeling of hatred toward the South.
The Republican party fought the
War Of the Rebellion, and saved the
country from the ruin and destruction
which would have followed successful
secession. 1t never punished a sin

not deprive any one of his VOTE
The only punishment it inflicted was
a temporary disqualification for hold

conciliatory and merciful. There
has never been civil war Oh record

scot free, but they have been allowed

Il WASHINGTON dispatch says that
leading Democratic politicians of New
York are making overtures to leading
Southern men looking to the nomina-
ton of Gov. Tilden for President,
and promising if the South will ac-
cept him that they shall be allowed
to name the Vice President and have
leading voice in making the plat
form. We are not surprised at the
statement that this arrangement is ac-
ceptable to the South. All that the
northern wing of the party wants is
the offices. The lions share of these
they hope to secure through Presi-
dent from their own section, and
once safely within their grasp they
are willing that the late rebels shall
declare the policy Of the party. 1t is

again.
