A Washington special states that the
national republican committee has discsv.
cred the existence of circular printed in
an office in that city, and circulated extern
sively over the south. The circular states
that ION the nent Inauguration day there
is to be an extensive military parade in
the city of Washington, and invites all
rifle clubs, white leagues or other military
organizations in the south to attend and
participate. 1t requests that notice be at
once sent to the person who signs the cir
cular, of the names Of any who intend to
come. The circular asks for the name and
war record Of the commander of each
company, the numerical strength Of each
company, and the number of members
who have had active military experience;
also the number and character of arms in
possession Of each company, and the cali
Der of ammunition required" We are free
to admit that We question the commences
OF this circular or Of the information
which declares its existence. Its contents
smack of revolution, but whatever may be
the desires of southern democrats in that
direction they will not precipitate con.
tlict without the active cooperation of
their northern party allies. AS that coop
Grafton is not promised by the acts and ex-
pressions Of democratic residents of the
north there is little reason to fear the es-
Enlistment of armed resistance to the ma
tional authority. Such circular might
have emanated from few hot headed par
tisans who would ruin because they could
not rule, but that the democratic party at
large was consulted in regard to its issu-
sncs is not to be presumed.-Press d d.

A Bad Case.

Some four weeks ago, Lewis oleson,
son Of Ole Oleson, living near Msckling,
froze his feet; the toes On both feet became
dead and turned black from dscomposi.
ton in the course of a week. They were
not removed, but allowed to stuff away by
. Glow and often dangerous process. On
Friday night last, it was noticed that he
had difficulty about swallowing and in
opening his mouth. Soon afterwards there
was spasm about his jaws, which grad
ually extended to the muscles Of the body.
His jaws became set and the spasms in
creased. On Saturday night he died; just
AZ hours from the first symptom Of the ter
rible disease-Lock-J aw, or Tetanus. Med
ical aid was only cxlled about four hours
before his death. The "cramp'' Of the
muscles was SO terrible that his ribs and
breastbone were broken and distorted
This probably the first case Of this dis.
ease that ever occurred in this county, and
perhaps in the Territory VermiAion Re.
