Mere numerical strength does not
avail much against small body Of dis
ciplined troops armed with modern wea-
pons. This is clearly shown by the sue
cess of the Liberians against the abort
gines in the war now in progress in Lii
IBERIA. Everywhere the natives of the
interior, although encountered in large
bodies, were routed with immense loss.
From the accounts received, it is proba-
BILE that the hostilities will be brought
to speedy termination.

GIVE US GOOD MEN.

The success or defeat OF the Repub-
licans of this city in the coming charter
election will be largely determined by
the character of their nominations. Ii we
present our best men for city council
men who have a real stake in the well
fare and prosperity of the community,
and whose record is conspicuous fer
fidelity to every important trust-we
will retain a majority in the municipal
Legislature. Party ties this year lie
loosely on the shoulders of large body
OF voters, and there is a disposition to
vote for the best men named, independ-
entity of partisan considerations. For
our own part, we welcome this tenden-
cy rs full of wholesome promise for the
future. We have too long permitted
ourselves to endorse and support I'M
worthy party nominations merely be-
cause they bore the party labels, and
the disasters which, here and there, have
come upon the party are in a great de
gree attributable to this acquiescence in
the rnle of the less reputable element of
our politics. And We MAY as well look
the fact squarely in the face that if we
would prevent the disintegration of the
party, we must make our appeal uni
formly to the intelligence and the con-
science of the community, and rely for
our success upon the absolute merit of
our nominations and the purity of our
policy rather than upon the uncertain
suffrages of the scall9wags and bum
mers.
1t is not only in our nominations for
councilmen that we should exercise q
peculiar care. Our educational inter-
ests are every year growing in magni-
tude and importance, and there is no
position within the gift of the people in
which men of frst-class abilities are
more urgently required than in that Of
school commissioner. Not merely the
maintenance but the wise direction and
the liberal expansion of our educational
system rests with the members OF this
board. Questions are constantly arts
ing in connection with this interest
which demand the exercise of the larg
est wisdom, and the improper oetermin.
alton of which would entail very serious
mischief. We should have in this board
representatives OF our most substantial
interests, and our selections OF candi
dates should in all cases be made, moi
with reference to the supposed claims
of one man or another. but with refer
ence solely to their fitness, their fidelity
to the interests of the people, and theil
recognition of the need and value of the
widest possible diffusion of education
among the masses. May We not hope
that the Republicans OF all the wards
will give us men OF this stamp in thei
nominations for the board of education
If it had not been fol. the excellent cha
racter of the candidates on the Repub
lican ticket in Newark yesterday, j
would have been our unpleasant duty to
day to have chronicled Democrats
victory. The Republicans made nomi
nations to suit the people. and not the
party. Hence, their grand triumph.

DEAR SIR:
Your letter of April was handed to
me about two weeks ago by Col, Lewis,
and would have been Immediately an

information from the person with
whom I had left my sword for safe keep

your kind offer to return the sword and

the work begRh with such important re-
suits by DIR. Livingstone. The death of
two Of his companions has not discour-
aged Mr.. Stanley. lie says: "We
have new and wonderful lands before
us, whose wonders and mysteries shall
be a medicine which shall make us
laugh at fever and death" There is in
this evidence of an enterprising spirit
which death or dire disease alone is cap
able OF subduing.
Elizabeth daily monitor. [volume] (Elizabeth, N.J.) 1868-1880, 1875-10-13

in expressing my appreciation Of the
friendly spirit in which your letter Is
written.
The sword was presented by my
friends in New Orleans, and was worn by
me during the Virginia campaigns until
the fall of 1868, when / obtained fur
Tough to visit my home This involved
running of the blockade through the
Federal lines. In order safely to effect
this left my arms with friend in ST.
james Parish, on the right bank of the
Mississippi, and they must have been
taken in his house by the cavalryman
who gave it to you. At any rate / new
er heard of the sword afterwards, until
received your letter, and all efforts TO
hear from the person in whose care it
was left have been unsuccessful.
shall praise it now more than over,
not only on account Of the original Civ
ers, many Of whom are since dead, but
also as q sign Of the renewed cordial
and brotherly relations, which the CEN
tennial year of our existence as a nation
will exhibit to the world, and it will be
to me as an emblem of peace, much
more pleasant to contemplate than an
instrument of war and bitterness.
Again thanking You for your letter
and the feelings which prompted it,
Believe me, yours very truly,

Iuh DENAlpNs
Railway presents the name of Mr..
John Ayers, an old Assemblyman and
at present a dealer in lumber, but the
venerable Mr.. Ayers hasn't the remotest
chance for nominaton-the delegates
from Elizabeth being determined to go
the whole hog or nothing.
Hon. Ferdinand Blancke, of Linden,
for day or two past has been coming
to the front, and his admirers will insist
on the nomination. Mr.. Blancke is one
of the best men in that party. He al
ways does what he believes right, but
whether his independence of spirit and
action will benefit him, remains to be
seen. He is very popular with the Ger
mans, on whose support he can always
rely. If he cannot be made to take the
nomination, he will decide who shall
have it--and that's big thing now a.
days.
Mr.. David Milford, who resides Just
outside our city limits, but who does
business here, was regarded yesterday
as the coming man." Whether his
friends can hold what they've got--or
what they think they have--we are I'M
able to say. The judges friends are
very active in his behalf, and quite en-
thusiastic in his support-look upon
him rs a strong man. Those who OPP
pose him, say he had the nomination
three years ago, and was badly beaten
and beaten too, by a gentleman who
was but little known also, that new
men ought to come to the surface as the
party is in no condition to carry dead
wood"
Mr. A. G.. Richie, of Westfeld, a
week ago apparently had the inside
track. Mr.. Ritchie is quiet manner
ed gentleman, popular among his neigh.
bors; but we guess he's doing nothing to
secure the empty honor offs Democratic
nomination.
Captain W. II. Gill will carry the Sc.
cond and several other wards of this
city. but we tell him now that he'll be
disappointed. He'll soon know more
about the ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, than any other fellow in
Union county. Why, Cap, those fel
lows will tmn out more Asses against
sou next Saturday than you'll believe
possible under the circumstance

names have been mentioned, but really

An Unfortunate Affair.

On Thursday night, December Slst,
about twelve o'clock, II very distress
Ing affair took place at Messrs, Boyle
Il Riddles establishment, which result
cd In one of the parties being MORALLY
wounded. Major j. p. Horbach, re-
Gently of Memphis, and Mr.. III. X.
Thomas, the agent Of the Texas aud
Pacific railway here, two friends, were
drinking together and had been play
ing some game. Both gentlemen We're
under the influence Of liquor, - diff
Guilty ensued, In which Major Horbach
shot Mr.. Thomas through the head,
y the ball entering just above one of
3 his eyes. The wounded man was made
as comfortable rs circumstances would
permit where the affair took place, and
was yesterday morning conveyed to
the San Jacinto, where every medical
attention was given him. Major Hor-
bach was arrested and lodged In Jail,
and MS the grand jury meets on Mon
day his case will go at once before that
body, instead OF the usual preliminary
examination before n magistrate.
rms unhappy Tragedy has cast a
gloom over large circle OF the friends
of both parties, and brought great an.
guish upon the relatives of these gen
tlemen, here and elsewhere. The
HERALD f0rbears to make any COM
ment OH this painful incident, or to
discuss the guilt or innocence of any
one. The matter is now In the hands
of the law, which alone can decide.
The HERALD regrets to announce
that since the above was written Mr..
Thomas has died. He expired at about
twenty minutes to ten o'clock last
night. During his last hours he re,
ceived every attention from DIR. Pope
and DR.. Easley, physicians in attend
ance, Mr.. Grain of the Texas and Pa
cific railway and many other friends.
In him the Texas and Pacific railway
loses one of its most efficient, court
eous and popular officers, and the com
munity good citizen. After the cor
oner's inquest this morning, the body
will be taken charge of by the Ma
sonic fraternity for burial.
The fun raj will take place from the
San Jacinto hotel, tomorrow Sunday
morning) at 10 A. NJ.
Thus ends most deplorable tragedy,
which has shocked the entire commu-
nifty and plunged two families into
misery and sorrow.
Mr.. Thomas was remarkably quiet
and polite gentleman in his business
intercourse, and Major Horbach is u
kind hearted, impulsive gentleman,
fond of good company and of gener-
GUS nature. The two were to have
dined yesterday together, our reporter
was informed by gentleman friend
of both parties.
