SCHURZ SPEAKS.

Hon. Carl Schurz addressed an i'm
mense audience in Cincinnati, last even

independent voters of the country, in
advance, to either party in the Presiden-
tial contest of 1876. He expressed the
fear that the financial question would be
used as new agency to revive the curse
OF sectional warfare in our politics, and
sad that he still stood on the platform

attention of thoughtful men of all par
ties. It's final settlement rests with
Congress and the President. The legal

of men willing to work are ont of en-

currency when the people are incurring
debts, and to rapidly contract it when
the time for payment has come, will
prove ruinous to every business enter

The West Farms Murder-Nesl0n's

to the Assistant District Attorney that

Ellis saw the Jew in West Farms Fri.
day, sitting or stoop eating crackers
and sweet cake they approached him
and said how do youdo?" The ped.
ler replied In the same words. They
then left and walked along the road
until they came to place where there
are woods on both sides ef the road.
Here they all sat down on rock,
when Thompson said, Let his fix the
pedler," and they waited until the ped.
ler came along, which was in short
time. lie sat down on the rock with
them, took out his pipe, lighted it, and
put his basket down. After smoking
and resting himself for e short time
he got up and placed the strap attach
ed TO the basket around his neck. He
arose to go on his journey, when Ellis
the youngest and smallest of the three
men, who had large knotted stick
in his hand, struck the pedler OH the
back Of the head and knocked him
down senseless. They then seized
him and threw him over a stone wal
into Lydig's Woods, and dragged him
some distance to which point they

REPUBLICAN, LEADERS.

The New York Tribune is making
anxious inquiries as to the whei ieabouts
of the Republican party's leaders. 1t
says the Republican masses may well
survey the situation with alarm when
they lind that the mismanagement Of
a ID rccklessness of the administration
have left them at crises like this
without commander. Who, of all
their chief men in Congress or the ex.
ecutive offices, can strike the key note
of policy for them, or rally their half
broken ranks? They had nobody to
send into Maine except Senator Nor
ton, who is more thoroughly identified
than any other man in public life with
the odious measures which have
brought the party into disrepute. De
lano dare not take the stump for fear
Of damaging his own side. Boutwell,
is involved in the same disgrace as
Morton. The leaders of three years
ago are politically dead-destroyed by
Credit Mobilier, or the Louisiana
usurpation, or the force bill, or the
outrage fraud, Mr.. CoAkling could
only help the campaign in New York
by keeping away from the convention
and when the party in this State under.
took to make the best possible show
for itself in desperate circumstances,
it could think of no better means than
sending all its leaders to the rear and
passing pointed condemnation OF the
course of its own administration. Here
is the result of six years of Grantism.

quered by the American teams with the
