MURDEBoUS ASSAULT.-Some five
or six weeks ago William Morley, an
Euglishman by birth, who resided
with lis family on South Sycamore
street was arrested for assault and
battery upon the person of his wiie'
Rebecca Morley, and tried before JUS
tice Reed who sentenced him to pay
fine and the costs, which he did. Since
that time he and his family have not
lived together, and Mrs Morley has
commenced proceedings in the Court
of Common Please for divorce on the
groundsof extreme cruelty. On Sun
day afternoon last Morley went to the
residence of his vile while she was
absent and seated himself till her re-
turn. When she came in he said he
had come for something to eat. to
which she paid no attention.. lie then
askcd her if she was going TO live with
him, and, being answered in the neg
ative, he pitched upon her and throw
ing her violently upon bed in the
room planted his knees upon her body,
and " ith one arm across her throat.
with the other hand drew a large
knife from his pocket with which he
endeavored to cut her throat, around
which was wound a scarf, he threat
ening, during the melee, to take her
life, all the while suiting his actions TO
the threat. A small son of the parties
aged about eleven years, who had been
witness of the transaction, seized a
heavy iron lying near, with which he
kept beating his father upon the back,
and finally dealt him blow across the
head which cut frightful, cash and
laid him out. thus releasing his moth
er from her perilous situation. Nor
ley was soon after taken in custody by
officer Gibbons who conveyed him to
Jail. On Monday afternoon he was
taken before Mayor Robinson, who
upon the proofs required him to enter
into bonds in the sum of 81, 800 for his
appearance at the next term Of the
Court of Common Pleas to answer the
charge of asss ult with intent to kill
and in default thereof he was recon-.
mitted to prison.

THE GREAT RsNGSMAsHER.

Every succeeding day, as the sent1-
ment of the people comes in, reflected
through the public preas, the policy and
slgaclty of Tilden's nomination are
more clearly proved. Tne people see In
the name of Governor Tilden the
augusy of better era. The one great
issue before the Countrywide issuewhich
involves the life or death Of the republic
is that of administration reform. We
have drifted SO far away from the safe
anchor Of honesty that the question is
forcing itself upon the people whether
thsy want it or not. When such men
as assembled at the Schulz conference,
in New Yolk, feel called upon to warn
the country, as they did, it is high time
the people cried shalt" to those who
hive led them astrsy, and it is high
time they placed in the chief eff e oil
ths government one whose life and acts
I'D character fit him for the great trust
and for the stern task there is before
him. It will be found to be no holiday
work to root ont the corruption which is
now lurking in every department Of the
government. There are "rings" which
are great and powerful to be SMASHED
There are men who stand high
in the public view who must be
punished, and it needs a man Of iron
will and exact and stern justice to meet
the requirements of the hour. Such 8
man is our candidate for the Presidency
He has been tried and not found want
Jog. BE is the terror OF thieves, the
hater Of rings" and foe to dishonesty
in every form and guise. Toe people
know him to be q man they can trust
His name has become familiar to every
man, woman and child in the land, and
the fact that their spontaneous senti'
mcnt inspired his nomination shows
how fully they appreciate the gravity o.
| the situation. Samuel J. Tilden Is the
man for whom the great heat OF the
public is throbbing everywhere. Il wal
q wise act to thus respond to the pulss-
ton of thst heart, by bringing to the
front the man who best meet' the need
of the hour-the great ''ring" smsshe
OF New York.

INTIMIDATION IN ALABAMA.

We have been insisting that every
voter In Alabama voted without let or
hindrancs. But it seems there was real
L intimidation at the recent election,
but this was on the part of the negrots.
The Chambers Clipper says that q great
many negroes voted our ticket, and adds:
1--WE have heard several negroes
ssy they wanted to vote the Democratic
ticket, but could not do it, for they
would be turned out of their church II
they did," The Birmingham Ladeperd-
ent prints a list of negroes who voted
the Democratic ticket ct that place, and
says: "Gus Frazier is a colored man
who always votes the Democratic tick.
ct, for which event, last Monday, Aleck
Thompson, a Radical negro OF the
woodruff Independent line, attacked
him on Wednesday with his little pis-
tol, ana threatened TO blow bis Demo-
cratic head off. Aleck is bound to an.
swer for his naughtiness" 1t is our
candid opinion that thousands Of me-
groes would always vote the Democrat
&c ticket If they were not afraid of per-
secusion at the hands Of their
own color. A few years ago the
negro who voted the Democratic tick
ct was kicked and cuffed about like q
dog. Wherever he made his appear.
ance he was abused and pelted by his
own race. Uncle Tom, at Raleigh
Springs, can testify to this fact. The fear
of their own race has kept thousands of
negroes from voting with the whites.
But the hatreds between the races
have been mitigated; prejodices OF long
standing have been broken down, and
violent differences have been reconciled.
II Democrats will gain in the south
by an untrammelled vote, free from all
intimidation, as the negroes have here
tofore voted solid for the Radicals more
from q fear of their own race than love
for carpetbaggers.
