A RESIDENT of Sam. Randall's district
told US yesterday that that reformed salary
raiser, that modern Saul struck by economic
lightning, was the most unpopular man in
his district, and today couldn't be elected
hog ringer. But such is the man who is
undertaking to run both branches of Con-
gress, and teach the President and Cabinet
how to run the Government in a way to
suit at present the Democracy. If he sue
ceeds he will hereafter be pointed out as
the leader Of the Senate.

Mr.. Lamar said yesterday in the House that
if the South could conscientiously do it she
would gladly stand aloof from the coming
Presidential election and allow the North to
elect its own Chief Magistrate. That is just
what he wanted to do in 1860. He wanted the
North to let the South alone and it would
run its own machine. Mr.. Lamar should be
careful, or he will make Ben Hill of him

The blood of Attorney Phillips, of Hamburg,

The blood of Attorney Phillips, of Hamburg,
is on the hands of John Lamar, who was yes
terday found guilty of the foul assassination,
and if justice pursues him in the near future
as it has in the near past, he will be hung
along with the other six who aided him in his
atrocious crime. Lamar hung for killing
negro will be novel sight in South Carolina,
where hitherto colored men have been shot
down in cold blood as pastime for the White
Liners.

The jury sitting in the Hamburg murder
cases has at last brought justice to the op-
pressed colored people of South Carolina.
Seven of them have been found guilty of muir
der, and among this number we find the
name Of John Lamar. The question naturally
suggests itself, 'Is this Lamar a relative of
the distinguished gentleman from Mississippi,
who spoke so feelingly about the poor niggah'
yesterday in the Housed" We are under the
impression that he is. If we are wrongly i'm
pressed, we stand ready to be corrected.

Eighty-seven persons were pronounced
yesterday by the jury in the Hamburg case to
be accessories before the fact. Among these
criminals is found the name of NJ. C. Butler.
Are accessories before the fact generally hung
in cases of murder! Are not these accessories
considered by the law of South Carolina in the
same light as the principals. John Lamar
was a principal and Butler an accessory. Will
they both be hung! The life-blood of six men
has been shed, and "whosoever sheds mans
blood by men shall his blood be she'd"

Tilden, the reformer, made the bulk of his
fortune by his practice as railroad lawyer,
and the record shows him to have been a
shrewd, INSCRIPTIONS schemer in behalf of
railroad rings. 1t is freely charged that he
was the alder and abettor of the infamous
Credit Mobilier swindle, and the records of the
Congressional committee which investigated
that gigantic scheme of plumber certainly show
that it was Tilden who, among others, advised
the conspirators that their scheme was CLAW
full" and pointed out the best way of carrying
it into effect.

A Democrat down street last evening gave
as his reason for supporting Tilden that he
always went in for the under dog in the fight;
that Tilden had been kicked and knocked
around by Beecher and the Plymouth church
people, and that his wife had left him and his
children were scattered, and, for his part, he
should support the abused Tilden. Tat Dem
ocrat evidently had things little mixed.

From the Carthage (Mo., y Patriot.l
Yesterday we visited the geological
gallery, lately fitted and furnished by
Or. Cunningham, of this city, which
ls situated on the west side of the
public square.
Here may be seen the greatest na-
tive American wonder extant- "a
snake twenty-seven feet eight inches
III length, and seventeen inches in cir.
cumference, resembling in many par
ticulars the Tiger Python of Africa,
coiled in tremendous folds with head
erect, mouth open, aud mammoth
forked tongue protruding as If about
10 gulp down at one spring every
thing i'll reach. This snake, which
Or. Cunningham has named "Lead
Python of the Southwest" fs, with
out doubt, the largest American rep-
tile ever captured. We have often
heard and read of monster snakes be-
Ing seen, at different times, in this
region of country, but have always
remained incredulous until now.
But III this instance the eyes cannot
deceive. The history of its capture
Is about as follows: The miners in
hickory county were returning home
from a prospect iu the latter part of
July, accompanied by a large dog.
While passing thicket on the banks
OF stream they were attracted by a
Missing or gushing noise, followed
Immediately by loud yelp from the
dog and crash among the bushes.
On approaching the spot they beheld
this terrible monster in the act Of
swallowing the dog. They fed, but
soon returned and succeeded in cap.
turing the reptile gorged. The weight
OF the snake when first taken was
about three hundred pounds. This
may sound to some like fiction, but
s'l that is necessary to ascertain its
to visit the Ozark Museum.
