Information Wante d,

In looking over the files of the
Scioto Gazette we find in the issue
of June the 7th, 1871, the follow
ing article in reference to a
murder committed few days before
in our neighborirg town of Hillsboro.
We copy the notice just as it appear
ed, and respectfully inquire of the
Hillsboro Gazette if the DIR. Enos
Holmes there spoken OF is the DIR.
Enos Holmes who is now the Demo
cratic nominee for State Senator in
this district. The article is as fol-
lows:
son Monday night of last week a
terrible murder was committed in
our neighboring town of Hillsboro.
For some time past a bitter feeling
has existed between Mr.. Scneggs and
DIR. Enos Holmes, both respectable
and well known citizens of that place,
growing out of an intimacy existing
between DR.. Holmes and a sister-in-
law of Scneggs. Scneggs, on the
night mentioned, followed the Doc
tor and commenced an assault on
him, when the Doctor drew his re-
volver and fired two shots at Scneggs,
both taking effect, going entirely
through one of the lungs and prov
ing fatal almost instantly. The
Doctor surrendered himself up to the
authorities and is now in Jail.
We clip the above rom the Scioto
Gazette of last week. It shows how
occurrences of this kind are often ex-
aggerated through flying rumors.
The facts are, that an affray did
occur at the time mentioned between
DR.. Holmes and Mr. T. W. Scruggs
-(not ScneggS) but instead of being
killed, Scruggs was only severely
wounded, and recovered after few
weeks confinement. DR.. Holmes

Republicans, Turn out Next
SATURDAY.!

Next Saturday the people of this
county will have the long-desired op-
portunity of seeing and hearing In
diana's great "War Governor the
soldiers friend, the eloquent orator
and patriot Oliver P. Morton. The
deep interest he feels in the result
of the election in Ohio, to which the
eyes of the whole country are turned
in anxious expectation, has induced
him to come to our State and ad
dress the people on the momentous
questions involved in the contest, in
the hope that his efforts may have
some influence in securing triumph
for the Republican cause. 1t is sell
dom that our citizens are permitted
to hear such man as Gov. Morton,
and we hope that every one will ava l
himself of the privilege. Let him
have such an audience as will prove
that our people delight to honor one
who has deserved so we'll of his
country.

was not lodged in Jail, though he
offered to surrender himself to the
authorities whenever called on. II
was considered at the time so clear
a case of self-defense on the part OF
the Dr., that he was in fact never ar
rested at all, and the case never was
legally investigated. Mr.. Scruggs
was well known to be intoxicated at
the time, and used very abusive IAN
guage to DIR. Holmes, who tried to
avoid difficulty with him, and ad-
vised him to go away from his
(Holmes) sidewalk, where the diff
Guilty took place. Scruggs refused,
and finally struck Holmes, who then
shot him. Scruggs had some weeks
before attacked Holmes with knife,
and was arrested by the police, but
'kss discharged at DR. Holmes re-
quest, on promising that he would
not molest the DR.. again.
After his recovery Mr.. Scruggs
never prosecuted DIR. H., and it was
generally understood that they had
settled the affair amicably. Mr..
Scruggs soon after removed to Ten
nessee, where we believe he is still
living.
We make this correction in Justice
to DR.. Holmes, who, whatever may
be his faults, is not murderer, and
as our fellow-townsman, is entitled
to this explanation at our hands.
We oppose DR.. Holmes election
as Senator, because we do not like
his political views, and because we
consider him as too strongly identi-
fed with the liquor interest by his
investment IN the Rocky Fork dis
tillery, to represent the people of
this district in the halls of Legislation.
Should he be elected he would no
doubt be in favor of repeating all the
laws of the State against liquor
selling, in accordance with the
''anti-sumptuary" (which being in
terpreted means free ,ohisky) plat
form of his party. The great mass
of the people of this Senatorial dis
trict are in favor of Temperance, and
they do not want man to represent
them in the Senate whose personal
in the hquor-traffic would be
likely to control his action against
the cause of Temperance.

More Democratic Economy

In the - years of Republican power
from 1860 to 1872, inclusive, nine Common
Pleas and four Supreme Judgeships were
created and seven abolished, leaving a net

Treasury of $4,000 per year. In addi.
ton to this there were created the follow
ing, with salaries payable from the State
Treasury, to-wit:
Clerk of Supreme Court; Commission
ers of Railroads, of Telegraphs, of Gas,
and of Insurance The last two were paid
by assessments upon gas and insurance
companies.
The total amount of salaries thus paid
out of the State Treasury on account of
offices created during the IL years of Re-
publican rule is $1s, 800.
In the four years of Democratic rule

created taoenty Common Pleas Judgships /;
and four Superior Judgeships were abolish

In 1874 the salary of the Matrons of the
