cal telegram TO the Inter OCEAN,
No little excitement has been
occasioned in this city by the start
ling intelligence that, nearly two
years ago, a horrible murder was
committed in the heart ofour city,
and Of which our people have
been in total ignorance. A man
by the name of Thomas Fame, of
Eau Plain, Wis, with Henry and
Ireton Marvin, brothers, met on
the 18th day Of August, 1874, IN
n room in the basement of Baird 5
Block, and commenced playing
poker. Henry Mann, who has Just
died in this city, confessed the
facts on his death bed. Ireton
possessed an air gun represcntip G
cane, and during u controversy
concerning the game he shot
Fame. AT night box was secur-
ed. Fane's body inclosed, and the
following day shipped to Milwau-
kee, and from there to the farm of
Henry Marvin, near Milkwaukee.
Examinations have been made in
the basement, and tho remnants
of great clots of blood found, and
in the corner of a window may be
seen the hole through which the
ball passed. Ireton is supposed to
be in Mexico, and his capture
will be attempted.

No Mercy On Smokers and Chescers


In another column will be found a
statement from the Collector of Internal
Taxes in Delaware. 1t will be seen that
for the year 1875, the tax upon tobacco
paid $343, ,123.6l being an increase over
the yield from this source for 1874. OF
$2,O7S.93. Total internal tax paid IN
Delaware since 1859, SO, ,736, 1920.
Many persons supposed the tax on
spirits yielded the greater part OF the
revenue but it will be seen that this is a
mistake, the tax ON spirits yielding only
$14,569.72 for 1874, and s29.l16.3O for
1875; beer in 1874 paid $6,441.16. and in
1875 paid $6,131 90 Banks in 1874 ,O67.-
SO, in 1875, a, ,576,24. The whole tax for
1875 aggregating 1884, ,776.6S.
We offer no excuse for the use of to-
bacco, and have often been surprised to
find it SO universally used. 1t appears
TO be luxury in which men will indulge
but especially is it the luxury of the poor
and yet we find it taxed without mercy
We do believe it would be just as easy
for its consumers to do without coffee AZ

PHILADELPHIA LECTURE

To say that Wendell Phillips, even
with all his known andlto Grated vagaries
not only disappointed, but on several
points shocked the sense Of propriety of
his audience last evening, is to use no
violence Of expression. His bald agrari-
anism, his frantic financial theories, his
running ecold against all corporate pro-
gross, and his sweeping denunciation Of
all legislatures, State and National, did
NOT excite surprice, for they were but
Wendell Phillips repeating himself; but
his declaration of perpetual war between
North and South, and between the white
and black races in the late insurgent
States, until the North shall return to
the conflict and march again TO the gulf
leaving only blacks and land behind
chem, and his ribald mockery of thanks
TO Gou for the san Domingo massacre
because the black man left no white mar
alive, and no white mans home to tel
that he had lived, made even his friend
ly audience refrain from positive disap
probation only by its self-respect. HI
htly crowned his comedy of abBurditie
ano monstrosities by nominating Gran
for President and Fred Douglas for Vic
PRESIDENT, but with little response b,
way OF ratification. Some men outliv
themselves, and it is n sad Judgment t.
pass upon he silver-tongued orator

hgent audience that heard him last night

RAnICAI.ISM.

The Conservative people Of the Coun-
try had hoped that Radicalism had run
its course and was dead, but the lecture
Ct Wendell Phillips, in Philadelphia on
Thursday night, shows that it still has an
existence, and is still to be dreaded. That
such horrid sentiments as this man ut
tered should be applauded by a Philadel.
phia audience is astounding. Yet thii
was the case. Such men as Phillips
ought TO be terror to any civilized
community. While we are ready TO ad
nit that the position he took before his
audience on this occasion is not more
Radical, considering the times, than were
the sentiments which he and his Radi
cal colaborers advanced before the wal
of the rebellion we are nevertheless as
tonlshed at their utterance.
While such men as Phillips are per
mitted to have influence and credit il
the Union there is little hope for genera
peace and harmony in the country.
