The question which now agitates
the people, it is not whether Mr.. Til
den is elected, for that is settled by
common consent, but the question
whether the Republican leaders will
peacefully surrender to the people
the trust in their hands, is seriously de-
bated. The crisis is such as to demand
from every man the coolest reflection
and the most temperate counsels.--

BURLINGTON Oct. %. 1876.
Hon. j. NJ. Forbes. Boston: Dear Sir
| am in receipt of your favor of the 23d
instant. During the summer of 1864. at
Saratoga Springs. 1 had Il social discussion
with Hon. ). j. Tildcn, in which he claim
ed that the government of the United
States WAS 4 confederacy of States and
not Il national government. He took the
same ground as the governors of VIRGINIA
and Kentucky did in 1861, in that the
United States government had no right 10
march an army across a State against its
consent TO prevent Il State from secedinr
and that such an act would be illegal and
no soldier could Justify such act if sued for
treSSpasS.
| co attended this was Il national govern
ment and not 4 confeleracv, and that The
States, as such, did not form the govern
ment of the United States, and hence here.
could be no secession, and the attemn,
was rebellion. | understood Mr.. Tilden's
views in this respect to be the same ne
those OF Calhoun, A.. IL. Stephens, Wade
Hampton, Hill, and others of the southern
democracy; otherwise, how can he expect
the solid support of the South: Mr.. I'll
den reproached ME for nv Ignorance of
the common law for claiming that soldiers
who marched in obedience 10 orders were
not liable in tresspass for so doing. did
not say to him, us it is published, don't
talk such treason to me-" did say
Don talk such nonsense" Our dis,nS.
sion was quite protracted, and l only state
the substance and drift of it. | am not
aware that his views expressed to Inc are
logically different from those of his kent
letter. The democratic party of New
York took the ground in 1871 that the
United States had 10 constitutional mower

TEAGICAL ENDING OF A FAMILY Quar-
EEL.-Franklin Woolcy and his brother
Scion, of Grafton. have for some time past
been at variance in relation to matters of
property, and several suits nave been COM
mcnced on both sides. \ few DAYS since
Scion and his mother commenced a new
SUIT involving \ claim of about three thou
sand dollars. On "Wednesday. the 10Th.
an uncle of the Wooley brothers, a Mr..
Blood of Putney. went with Franklin to
Solon'S house to settle the quarrel. While
Mr.. Blood WAS hitching the horse, Frank
lin went to the door and was ordered bv
Scion not to en,er. But Franklin persisted
and Scion went up stairs and took his re-
volver and shot Franklin from the cham
Der window. The bullet entered the
stomach Just below the ribs. and took Il
downward course. The physicians de
scribe the wound rs similar to the one that
jim Fisk received at the hands of Stokes.
Nj. Wooley died Saturday morning. and
strangely enough, that morning Solun's
house WAS burned. it is thought bv an in
cendlary. Scion was arrested Wednesday,
and after his brothers death has be"un to
realize what situation he is in. Franklin
Wooley was forty-eight years old his broth
err Solon thirty-five. Franklin has been IN
active business man, rs well As farmer.
and. although possessing some peculiari-
ties, was generally esteemed as 4 neichbor
and citizen. Scion has been livin~ unit
within Il short time. for several years, in
Kansas.
