A MAN named Edward Williams, who,
with a Mrs. Melting had been arrested for
the murder of the latter's husband, was
taken from the Jail on the night of the
22d, at Barboursville, West Va, and
hanged by mob. He acknowledged the
crime. Mrs. Melting was also threatened
with similar fate. but was finally spared.
She said she had repeatedly attempted to
poison her husband, and accused herself
OF being the cause. of the murder by vii.
liams, but begged most pitifully for her
life.

Marietta Railroad went through an iron

wrecking the bridge, locomotive and

WHERE, where will be the birds that sing
A hundred years TO come?
The flowers that now in beauty spring,
Ahundred years to GOMEZ
The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The hearts that beat SO gayly now:
Oh, where will be loves beaming eye,
Joy's pleasant smiles, and sorrow's'sigh,
A hundred years TO conner
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years TO come:
Who read yon church with willing feet,
A hundred years TO come?
Pale, trembling age, and fiery youth,
And childhood with its brow of truth
The rich, the poor, Cn land and sea,
The great and small, where will they be
A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves shall sleep,
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep,
A hundred years to come!
But other men our lands will till,
And other men our streets will ill,
While other birds will sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine as today,
A hundred years to come!

Discomfort.


Down in field one day in June
The flowers all bloomed together,
Save one, who tried to hide herself,
And dropped, that pleasant weather.
A robin who had scared too high,
And felt little lazy,
Was resting near buttercup
Who wished she were daisy.
For daisies grow so trig and tall;
She always had passion
For wearing frills about her neck
In just the daisies fashion.
And buttercups must always be
The same old tiresome color,
While daisies dress in gold and white,
Although their gold is duller.
Dear robin" said this sad young flower,
Perhaps you d not mind trying
To find nice white frlll for me,
Some day, when you are flying:"
lyon silly thingl" the robin said;
s. think you must be crazy!
I'd rather be my honest self
Than any made-up daisy.
You're nicer in your own bright gown,
The little children love you;
Be the best buttercup you can,
And think no flower above you.
Though swallows leave me ont of sight,
We'd better keep our places;
Perhaps the world would all go wrong
With one too many daisies.
Look bravely up into the sky,
And be content with knowing
That God wished for buttercup
just here where you are growing.

hydrochloric acid nuisance from the air
and rivers is described in the Chemical
Nens. In the apparatus thus employed
the chloride of lime produced contains 35
per cent OF available chlorine and the
fuel consumed amounts to half the weight
of the finished product. The chlorine re-
sulting from this process is SO diluted
with nitrogen and air that, for perfect
absorption, the surface covered with lime
is six times larger than in the ordinary

of the process is rendered costly by the

Slaughter Of Gen. Custer and his Com.
Maud.

News from the Indian country was
received at Utah yesterday, and pub
lished in the Chicago morning papers
to-day. 1t was brought to Saltwater,
Montana, on the 1st Of July, by Mug
gins Taylor, scout for Gen. Glib
bons, direct from Little Horn river.
The Utah Times extra, of July 9th,
has the following from Bozeman,
Montana:
Mr.. Taylor, bearer of dispatches
from Little Horn to Fort Ellis, ar
rived this evening, and reports as fol-
lows: The battle was fought Oh the
25th, thirty or forty miles below the
Little Horn. Custer attacked an H.
dian village of from $500 TO 1000
warriors on one side and Colonel Re-
no was to attack it on the other
Three companies were placed on a
hill as a reserve, General Custer and
fifteen officers and every man belong
ing TO five companies were killed.
Reno retreated under the protection
OF the reserve. The whole number
killed was 315. General Gibbon
joined Reno. The Indians left the
battle field looking like a slaughter
pen, and it really'was, being i'm mar
row ravine. The dead were much
mutilated. The situation now looks
serious. General Terry arrived at
Gibbons camp on u steamboat and
crossed the command over and ac-
companied it TO join Custer, who
knew it was coming. Seven men
were buried in one place and the kill
ed are estimated at 800 with only 81
wounded. Indians surrounded Reno's
command and held them one day in
the hills, cut off from water, until
Gibbons command came in sight.

the arms of the killed soldiers. There
were seventeen commissioned officers

miles long, aud was twenty miles up
the Little Horn from its mouth. The
Indians actually pulled men off their
horses in some instances. give this

The Porter County Democracy.

To-day, Saturday June 9th, the un-

critical time new committee was sent
to New Orleans by the House of Repre-
sentatives, with Wheeler at its head.
He visited the hottest-headed men on
both sides, and in spite of objections
which were made by both parties, lie
proposed and obtained their assent to a
compromise which healed up the diff
culties, and has given peace to the
State from that day to this.
1t is because we personally know Mr..
Wheeler that we are glad he has been

that before his four years occupancy of

Campaign Chicago Tribune.- Hayes

The National Republican party has
placed its ticket and platform before
the American people. The Presidential
Campaign will be one of the most eX-
citing and important that has ever oc-
Cured in the United States. The re-
suit of the contest will determine the
4 future good or i'll of the country for a
generation to come
/ The Democratic Confederate alliance
/ is the same in character and spirit as
when the one wing resolved that the
/ war for the war was failure and
the other wing tried desperately to
make il failure. They are now a has
Dor of refuge for sectional animOsites
and pro-savery sentiments. Since COM
/ ing into control of one branch of Congress
! they have exhibited no statesmanshis,
no wisdom nor matchmaking but
/ obstructive policies and destructive pur-
poses, showing themselves incapable of
progress or even of comprehending the
wants of the country. They only
.'meddle and middle" With all their
promises and pretentions they have prov
en- utter failures III dealing with ques-
tons of Taxation, Tariff, Revenue, Cur
rency or Reform.
If the Government again passes into
I the hands of the Democratic -Confede-
rates and they secure possession of the
purse and the sword, the army and the
navy, the executive authority and the
making power, they will substitute
reaction for progress and re-establish a
system of espionage in the South, and

the cities of the North. Prudence adj
monishes that 1.-THE destinies of the
country in peace should be conlided to

The congressional Star-Chamber


A proper investigation of abuses in
government or in the conduct of public
officials is right and commendable in
itself, and may sometimes become du-
ty. Where there is good ground to
suspect wrong-doing corruption or NAL
feasance in office, there ought To be au-
thority somewhere to investigate it,
expose the guilty and bring them to
inst punishment Rightly or wrongly
this power to investigate has been as
sumed by Congress through its Com
mittees, and has been pursued more or
less during every Congress for many
years. But the present Democratic
House of Representatives has carried
the matter to such an extreme limit
that the individual private citizen
will enquire whether he has any rights
of Congress is bound to respect. In
many instances private rights have
been stricken down 10y the House; and
its Committees, and subcommittee
consisting have arrogated to them
selves privileges in the invasion of pri-
vate rights which the sovereignty of
England dare not assume towards its
humblest subject. We do not cOunte-
nance the position that a Committee
of Congress has the right to prosecute
Investigations at random, that it can
rightly enter private houses, and sieZe
private papers, and pry into family Sc
crets in the hope that it may by acct
dent discover something against some
public man. Such proceeding is an
outrage on the liberty of the citizen,
and deserves prompt and instant re-
Duke. Each Committee of the lower
House of Congress has become a verita-
BILE star-chamber court, sitting in Sc
cret, and dragging before it: malignant
INSCRIPTIONS and disreputable witness
es, private papers of private citizens,
private secrets entrusted to the tele-
graph or mails, in the hope that they
may be able to smirch, blacken or des-
troy the reputation of some political
opponent. A few days ago 400 pounds
of telegraphic dispatches were seized
in the office of the Atlantic and Pacif-
lie Telegraph Company in New York,
and Committee of Congress is now
nOSing over what was entrusted to the
telegraph in the confidence of privacy
by men and women all over the country.
They may hope to find something that
will strike Secretary Robson, or con-
meet some person yet unknown with
the Real Estate pool of Warrington, or
serve as the means for arousing suspic-
ion against one of thousand leading
Republicans; and to do this they vio-
late the private rights of thousands of
people who never had and never will
have any official relation to the govern
ment. To accomplish an object which
at the best can be only a barely
remote good, they resort to a clear and
unmistakable wrong in the utter disre-
gard and violation of private rights. 1t
is full time the outrage was rebuked.
After having worked at this business
six months, to the total neglect and
failure to discharge the ordinary du-
ties of legislators. and yet with the ac-
complishment of nothing save in the
case of Belknap, it is quite time that if
the Investigations go on, they should
at least be conducted with some regard
to the private rights of the citizen.
