THE DdUCU!c RIIL.

Tbore seems to be great doubt whether the
bill for the government of the South adopted
by the Republican caucus on FRIDAY, anu
hailed by the Administration organs as q vital
measure of safety, can pass the House OF kep-
resentatiye,. Evidently it does not command
the approval of the most respectable members
of the porty. and some of them declare that
they will not be bound by the caucus resolu-
ton. But it shows so clearly the purposes Oh
the violent faction which has taken the con-
troll of the Republican party at Washington
the turbulent and disorderly persons" VINO
make business of upsetting State govern
ments and manipulating elections. that 1t
deserves a careful scrutiny.
The first section makes it a felony punish
able with $4,000 fine and ten years imprson-
ment at hard labor for two or more persons TO
forcibly overthrow q State government or any
of the constituted authorities of the same, " or
"intcrtere in any forcible or unld,ctM manner
",rith the due execution Of the lecS of State or
"of the United States" or to cOnspire for such
"purposes." Under this section carpet-bag
Governors would hold the opposition at their
mercy. Any kind of concerted action by White
Leagues or other political clubs could be con-
strued as q conspiracy to interfere" with the
due execution of the election law or some
other statute.
The second section makes it a crime punish
able with $4,000 fine and two years imprison-
ment for two or more persons to cOnspre or
attempt to subvert State government. This
section is capable of almost any Interpretation
partisan commissioner may be disposed to
place upon it.
The third section was thrown out. The
fourth prescribes heavy penalties for intiml-
dating voters with deadly weapons or carry
ing concealed weapons at the polls. The fifth
provides penalties for State registration Off
GERS and Supervisors who refuse to permit
citizens to vote or register or to allow them
sufficient opportunities to register or to OBJ
tain proper information"-a section which Is
obviously capable Of the grossest abuse. The
eighth section confers civil and criminal juris-
diction under this act upon United States
courts. The ninth and tenth extend the num-
Der of supervisors and deputy marshals The
fourteenth authorizes the President to sus-
pend the writ of babeas corpus whenever
unlawful combinations" shall be organized
cor attempted and 30 powerful as to defy
the State authorities.
Little comment is needed upon such bill
When it Is remembered that the Only serious
difficulty about Southern elections now Is tC
keep the Republican State officials quiet
enough to allow fair vote and far count,
the monstrous character Of the caucus proposal
is sufficiently clear.

A SCHEME OF ARTFDUCdT TON.

We learn from pamphlet distributed among
the newspaper Offices within the past few days
that rich man Of this city, whose name is at
present withheld, purposes endowing musi-
cal institute upon new plan. 1t is to COM
prise o college of music with the best profess
sors the world can furnish an opera-house for
the representation of "a new style of musical
"moral drama" suitable for Christian audiences
and grand hall for every variety Of vocal
and instrumental concert. Tuition is to be
entirely free, but the institution is to be self
supporting, deriving its income from the public
performances of the teachers and advanced
students, every alumnus being required TO
devote certain time to the benefit of the in
stitution Having learned professors and a
thorough course of instruction, the COllege-so
the author Of the Prospectus remarks
"would possess within itself tho very
"best talent in the world fore public
entertainments, and hence it would become
zone of the most popular of institutions"
The plans for the building seem to have been
already sketched, and even the site has been
chosen, which is the block of ground now oc-
cupied by the Hippodrome.
We know nothing of the source of this pro-
posal, but it is apparently made IN good faith
and anybody who has suggestions to offer is
invited to communicate, with DR.. Elmer of No.
200 Fifth Avenue. Mr.. Kingsland of the Acad-
DENY of Music is understood to be also in the
confidence of the intending founder. The
scheme is such a grand one, and its import
anco not merely to New-York but to the
whole country is SO serious that we must all
be anxious to SEQ the endowment wisely ap-

The death Of the Hon. Samuel Hooper is an event
of more social than political moment at the present
time. He had definitely made up his mind to retire
from public fe aud his term of service in Congress
would have expired on the 4tb Of March. His
successor is already chosen to ill the place be leaves
in the House of Representatives But twill be hard
for any one TO fill the place which his death makes
vacant in those social circles which have known
him so long aud so favorably. His name will not
rank among those of the great statesmen and leeis-
lators of the Republic But it will be long before
the recollection of him a kindly and generous
man. a gentleman whom politics never turned
bitter great merchant without the narrowness OF
the nero trader. and steady partisan who still
valued his manhood above his party name fades
from the minds of his countless acquaintaDces. His
work in the House Of Representatives for fourteen
years will not give him the notOriety which many
charlatans gain in many daysi b"s VI any curious
person should care TO trace it through 'De records
of Congress, it will be found that few mtaSers OF
his time have borne their part with more sinceq&'
sagacity, or industry. He has been worthy repre-
sentative of great constituency, which will doubt
less take caie of his memory.

THE Vh AVENUE PAVEMENT Question:

A petition protesting against the paving OF
Fifth-ave. with Grahamite or any asphalt
pavement with concrete foundations, has been
largely signed by the owners of property on
the avenue, and is to bo forwarded to the
Legislature to-day. Among its signers are
number of tho gentlemen who inconsider-
atey attached their names to the petit
ton for the Grahamite pavement.
Some Of the prominent signers are VIM. c.
Rhnelander, +. Cottcnet, James Lenox, Daniel
Parish, Lucius Hopkins, Gordon w. Burnham.
Marshall 0. Roberts, John Steward, d. Jack
son Steward, Robert l.. Stuart, r. l.. & A.
Stuart, Robert Lenox Kennedy, A. c. Kings
land, VIM. NJ. Kingsland, j. II. Cautier,
Charles de Rham, John Taylor Johnston, and
others.
That Fifth-ave. needs replving seems to be
generally agreed. That the city should pay
some part of the expense is also agreed. That
the pavement on this avenue-being the only
easy approach to the Central Park, and the
only road therefore for the multitude OF pleas
ure oarriages-should be smooth and noise
less is also agreed. We had been inclined,
from the experience of the Graham pavement
in front of the Worth Monument to believe
that it might serve the purpose. but property
holders who have watched it differ, and their
Judgment has weight The NicolsOn pavement
being out of the question. the only remaining
alternative seems to be macadamized road,
similar to those which have given such satis-
faction in the Park itself. To this only two
objections are urged. 1t is dusty in dry and
muddy in wet weather. The first difficulty
can be overcome by regular watering, but
This only insures the constant presence OF the
otrer. Whether this is sufficient objection
to delay any improvement on the avenue Is q
question on which it would be well for
property holders and citizens generally to
make their minds known to the Legislature
at once,

New-York tribune., 1875-02-15

Although the man may be insignificant and
his claims contemplate, the question of the
right of Mr.. Pihchback to seat in the Senate
assumes importance in view of the illogical
declaration of the President that he will
accept the decision of this matter as verdict
upon his policy in the Louisiana case. 1t has
been established again and again that Mr..
Pnchback has no just claim to a Senatorship.
Mr.. Morton alone is unconvinced, and the
Senate is so fully committed against the pre-
tender that it cannot without qualification pass
upon his credentials. But as the necessity of
the Administration is great, and qualification

ton of The TRIBUNE we find it more difficult

New-York tribune., 1875-02-15

Practically two weeks of work are left to
this Congress. 1t was expected to do many
bad things. Thus far it has been foiled in the
most of them. and though the danger increases
with the closing days of the session. there is
good reason to hope that most of the jobs
still clamoring at the doors of the two Houses
may be kept back in one or both The South
ern Pacific still boasts its confidence of carry
ing through the gigantic subsidy which is to
rescue its managers from bankruptcy, and
build railroad in the unsettled region along
the Mexican frontier. at the expense of the
United States, for the benefit of the inner
circle of its stockholders. The Northern
Pacific has less confidence and less ground for
any, but we hope that the real prospects of
the other may yet be found to be no better.
While the ears of Congressman are deafened
with this strident demand for help for the
South by way Of railroad in the wilderness,
it remains to be seen whether they are going
to refuse that practical help which might come
from some substantial measure for opening
the mouths of the Mississippi. We are threat
ened with an increase of forty millions of tax
alton, and there arc but two weeks in which
to defeat that. A host of lobbyists are watch
ing these two weeks in the hope of being able
to crowd through petty schemes OF plnnacr.

ONLY GOING TO THE GATE.

Like the bell of blossom ringing,
Clear and childish, shrill and sweet,
Floating to the pOrch's shadow
With the fainter fall of feet,
Comes this answer softly backward,
Bidding tender watcher wait,
While the Baby Queen Outruns her:
Only going to the gate"
Though the moonlight warm and scented
Love to beauty breathes his sigh,
Lingering, to leave reluctant,
10th to speak the low goodbye;
Then the same cid echo answers
Waiting love for the elder date,
And the maiden whispers backward,
Only going to the gate"
Oh, these gates along our pathway.
What tIey bar outside aud in
With the vague outlook beyond them
Over ways we have not been
How they stand before, behind US.
TOll-gates some, with price to pay,
Springs gates sume, that shut forever;
Cloud gates some, that melt away
Just across their slender weavings
Troth-pight happy hands have crossed {;
Yet their locks have rusted ruddy,
Or their keys III night-shade lost.
Over latches softly falling,
Good by prayers have dropped like dew;
Little gateways. softly shutting,
Yet have cut love III two.
So we pass them going upward
On our journey, one by one,
10 Tie distant shining wicket
Where each traveller goes alone,
Waere the friends who journey with us
Strangely tulter, stop aud wait;
Fath.r, mother, child, or lover,
Uuly going 10 the gate.

Frightfnl Death Struggle.

A letter from Unionville, Pull
nam Co., Mo, to the st. Louis
GtO6e-DenaOcr0t gives the details
OF a fatal termination Of a family
feud near MartinStoWn, in the
above county. 1t seems that
James Hunter and Samuel Carter
are brothero-in-laW, living about
a mile apart, the father -in-law,
q. LaWsUn, living midway be
tween the two. Great animOsity
has existed for a long time be
tween the TWO former, the father
in-laW taking sides with Carter.
Hunter has several times been
heard to say that he would take
Carter's heart out the first time
he got a good chance. Last Sat-
urday Carter went to the house
of his father-in-laW 10 see his
Wife'S sister. who was sick in bed.
He sat on the end of the bed con-
versing with her, when Hunter
came to the house and began
sharpening d hatchet just outside
the door. When he had finished
he crept softly on tip-toe through
the kitchen to the room in which
Carter and the sick girl were. He
pushed the door open and slipped
quietly into the room with the
remark. Now, Cd d-n you,
Pve got you just where | want
yOu," and then made a rush at
Carter with the Ratchet upraised
and would have Drained him on
the spot had not Carter jumped
aside quickly and seized a gun
standing near the bed, raising it
to shoot. But before he could fire
Hunter was upon him, striking
fast and furiOusly with the hatch
ct, Carter Warding off the blows
with the gun, and receiving few
slight cuts on his arm. Hunter
kept crowding Carter until he fell
backward up0n the bed across the
sick girl. Carriers situation was
now very desperate. He knew
that if Hunter got one fair blow
ut his head he would be instantly
killed. He suddenly threw up
MS rlBnI arm anu caught hunter
around the neck, and drew his
hand down close to his breast and
then with his left hand succeeded
in getting his knife out Ofhis pock-
ct and opened it with his teeth,
and then quick as a flash cut
Hunters throat from ear to ear,
the blood flowing over the bed
and completely drenching both
Carter and the sick girl, At this
time Mr.. Lawson entered, and,
taking the situation in a glance,
sprang forward and raised Hun
ter from the bed. AS he did, the
hatchet dropped from the hand Of
the WOuld-be assassin, and he
sunk. to the floor a corpse.
