Mr.. Faulkner and the Wheeling
Inteliigencor.

The IieHigcncer and its correspon-
dents have been devoting column after
column to the condemnation OF n remark
ascribed to Mr.. Faulkner in his Clarks-
burg speech made ON the Sd of this
month. That remark was substantially
this: Mr.. Faulkner after adverting to
the frauds and military violence by
which President Grant, and his Score.
tary Of War, Cameron, are seeking to
coercc the States of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana 10 vote the Re-
publican ticket, said: "that if he was
satisfied that the votes of those States
had been dragooned for Hayes, by these
illegal and demonstrations means, and
that majority was thus procured for
Hayes in the electoral college, that he,
as one member of the House of Repre-
sentatives. would refuse to count them
in the decision Of the Presidential cleo.
| ton" This is proclaimed to be revolu.
| ton, and Mr.. Faulkner is held I'D be.
fore the nation as dangerous and n.
farming agitator. Now can ANYTHING
be more absurd and childish than such
stuff from that ordinarily sensible and
intelligent journal? The course which
i III Il bulNIti lltlCtl6V I1lb lie WOuiu
pursue, and which would have the ap.
| prevail of every de mocrat in his district.
would be, if carried out by him, but the
exercise of right as one Of the repre-.
sentatives Of the people, which is ex.
! pressly recognized by the 22nd Joint
! Rule Of the Senate and House Of Repre-.
sentatives. That rule, which was adop.
| ted in 1865, and has now been in opera.
ton for eleven years, expressly provides
that upon an objection made 0y either
! House to the reception Of the electoral
vote Of any State, such vote shall not
not be counted
, This rule is but the construction
which the two Houses Of Congress have
given to the Federal Constitution, and
/ if that rule should be rescinded, as the
! Republican Senate sought last winter TO
rescind il, that would not alter the con.
/ stitution. lie would under that instru-
ment have the same right Of objection
I which The 22nd rule so clearly recognizes
/ II is therefore perfectly ridiculous 10
/ speak Of any vote given in accordance

| ton can now arise. The decisive cleo
ton Of Governor Tilden by the electoral

Explosion Of q Keg Of Powder In q Con-
victsS Hand.

Quite serious accident occurred on
the Capitol Grounds yesterday after
noon, at O'Clock, in which Rufus
Wall and Jack Woody, two convicts,
were badly injured. The squad of pris-
oners working ON the east side of the
grounds, under the bluff overlooking
Park Street, had ceased to work, and
were packing up their tools when the
accident occurred. Wall had a twenty
five pound key of powder in his hands
when aspark Of FIRE from the bluff over
head flew into it, causing the powder to
explode, and throwing him dozen feet
into the air. His hands. arms and face
were burned very badly, and his cloth
ing set on fire; but, though his eye
brows were burned of, his eyesight was
not destroyed. Woody was stopping
near him in the act Of picking up q
spade, and was also injured. Both
were wrapped up in blankets and taken
to the Penitentiary, where their injuries
were examined by DR.. Jamison, the
hospital physician. A negro prisoner
had ladder on his shoulder, within a
few feet of the spot, when q portion of
the key struck him. He stumbled and
fell, his hand being hurt in the fall.
Wall and Woody were resting easier
last night, and no serious danger is ap-
pretended to either Of them. The ac-
cident is said to be the result of care
lessness upon the part of the guards, in
permitting such quantity Of powder
to be used SO near the fire upon such q
windy day.-Nashville American.

"A C0llC0POA00nV VA tAO SAASAAAAesSA
Gazette writes as follows from Hills
boro, Highland County, Ohio:
The citizens of Hillsboro were star
tied yesterday morning by the report
that resident of that town had
poisoned his wife, three children, and
himself. The report proved to be true,
or partly SO at least, and the facts, as
developed, to be as follows: The mans
name is George Shields, about thirty or
thirty-three years of age, an Irishman,
and by occupation shoemaker, his
specially being, we believe, women's
work. He has been resident OF the
town more than two or three years, but
had earned good reputation as a work
man, and as a steady and Industrious
man. Hard times, however, and scarcity
of work had their effect. And brood
ing over his troubles, and perhaps in
morbid imagination seeing nothing but
starvation staring himself and his little
family in the face, he resolved on their
destruction and his own through the
agency of deadly norcotic. Procuring
quantity Of morphine, the next
question was how to administer it to his
wife and children without their knowl-
edge. This he did by making q guam
tity of egg-nog on Wednesday evening,
of which the family partook and retired
to bed, leaving Shields sitting up. It
seems that the dose was too small to
produce the intended effect, and the
wife and children slept through the
night without feeling any bad effects
from the drug. Some time during the
night Shields took another dose. To-
ward morning his wife awoke, and was
surprised to find her husband still up,
and sitting by the stove writing. As
soon as he discovered that she was
awake he threw the paper upon which
he had been writing into the stove, thus
destroying what is supposed to have
been intended as statement or dying
declaration. Within short time
Shields became senseless from the eff
fects of the morphine he had taken, and
fell to the floor. The alarm was given
and medical aid procured. By this
time the wife and children had also
become deathly sick, and for some time
it seemed as though the intentions
of the husband and father would be
successful, and that all would die. By
the prompt use, however, of the proper
remedies the wife and children were re-
stored to consciousness, and their re.
covery is hoped for. Shields remained
in a very critical condition during the
day, with slight prospects for recovery
at times, but died in the evening.
understand that some time during yes.
terday Shields made a statement to the
effect that he did not intend to kill his
wife or the children, but only gave them
enough, as he thought, to stupefy them
80 that they would not witness his death
This statement will be taken of course
with some grains of allowance, although
| believe there are many who have con.
fidence in it. Shields is said to be re.
specially connected by marriage, his
wife being daughter Of - Dillon, Of
Lynchburg, o., and the terrible tragedy
has cast a gloom over that community
where he formerly resided and was well
and favorably known.
