Brutal Murder OF Two Men in
Indiana,

TERRE HAUTE, IND, March 4.-A special
to the Express says that at Middlebury,
Clay county, last night, about 10 o'clock,
George W. Watts and his brother Thomas
appeared on the street with butcher
knives, counter weights and pistols, and
assaulted Freeman Reed and Louis Seigly,
whom they (the Wattses) supposed had
shot through their store door, which they
were indignant at, and whereupon they
made the murderous assault. George
Watts was sho. in the left temple and died
in about thirty minutes. Freeman Reed
was struck in the head with o heavy
weight and stabbed in the back on each
side Of the spinal column with large
Butcher knife, which was driven in to the
handle and broken off at the point in the
body. Reed, after he saw Watts fall, made
his escape home, which he tried 10 do
when Watts first assaulted him, but could
not until he was mortally wounded. He
reached home, got up stairs and tried to
secrcte himself in the garret, when his
mother heard him, went to him and put
him TO bed, when he expired in about
thirty minutes. The two men died about
five minutes apart.

BELLAIRE LocALs.-It has been sug.
gested as n wise move to print tho names
Of subscribers to the Bellaire & South
western railroad, and post them up in the
passenger cars after they get to running;
and publish them in the papers now. We
believe this would be advisable because Of
the inducement it would be to others to
subscribe, especially il II be given out
that the stockholders in the country will

The spaulding Court Martial.

SAN Francisco, March 4-In the
Spaulding court martial, tile first witness
examined was Pay Inspector Fulton, who
identified Spanlding's signature in the
letter book marked aB,S and the paper
marked "H: b." Chief Engineer Lawton
testified concerning the purchase Of lum-
Der by Spaulding from Jason Springer,
at q price exceeding market rates, as
given'by Knowland '&:Doe, Of San Fran.
cisco, TO the witness. W. B. Cox, jr.,
clerk OF the Commandant Of Mare Island,
was the next witness, and read letters OF
the Commdndant and Spaulding concern
ing the purchase Of the lumber above
mentioned, in which Spaulding objected
TO the eiutericrence OF other officers with
his transactions, claiming the lumber was
purchased at tile lowest market price.
The witness also read letters relating to
the attempted purchase OF bran by
Spaulding In San Francisco, at price
nearly double what it could be obtained
for at Vallejo. The witness also produced
the letterfrom the Swiss American Bank,
San Francisco, to the Commandant, in
quiring about certain certificates Of in
debtedness on which the bank had loaned
large amounts, but concerning which no
information could be obtained at the Pay
Inspectors office. The letter was object
ed to by Spaulding's counsel, but admit
ted to forward an understanding OF other
matters, but not rs evidence OF the allcga-
tions contained therein. The Court will
probably soon adjourn to this city. 3

An Interview on the Prcsidcniial
Question.

Now that Gen. Grant is out Of the way,
sure and certain, who will the Republi'
can, nominate at Cincinnati? A cores
ponlcnt OF Saturdays Chicago Tribune
has been interviewing Halstead and Rich
ard Smith on the subject. The former
says that there is no Hayes movement in
Ohio. "All that is being done in that di-
reciion is by an interested clique, made
up of people of the sort to injure his
prospects. They think it would be good
thing for themselves to get the nomina.
ton for an Ohio man il they could, that
it would improve their chances for a
share of the spoiIs. That's about all
there is OF it now"
The correspondent asked HalStead this
question: "!Do you think there isn't
enough of Hayes to make President OF
him?' He replied thus:
"Hayes ia Immensely better than Nor.
ton or Coikling. There's more OF him than
there has been OF some Presidents we've
had" But his tone implied that Hayes
aOuldn't make Just the kind Of President
the country wants, and that there is in
Ohio widespread perception OF that fact.
what OF Morton and Blaine" / asked,
Neither Morton nor Blaine can get the
nomination." he replied. ,"They will kill
ssch other, Morton certainly can't get it."
In answer to the correspondents in
quiry as to who had the inside chance, So
far as Ohio is>concerned, Halstcad re-
Piled thus:
"The public sentiment here will be for
BristOw-overwhelmingly for him over
Hayes or anybody else. II wilLbe all for
him. He would carry Ohio by $4,000
nljority. The best thing the Conven-
ton can do is to nominate Bristow and
Hayes or Washburne and Hayes. There
z this about Bristow-he is n man who
has shown courage TO fight corruption.
That is the whole OF il, and because OF
nat he will meet the unequivocal sup.
port Of the Liberal margin that last year
carried Ohio against Bill Allen, aud that
!: necessary to carry New York, Connec.

margin last year saved the Republican
party in Ohio, and the party had better

PREVENTION OF THE FREEZING OF
FRUIT IN THE BuD.-The freezing OF fruit
in the bud, frequently occasioncd by
few warm days succeeded by late frosts,
it is said, may be prevented by spreading
thick layer Of frozen manure, or OF ice
or snow, around the trees, in February or
March, while the ground is firmly frozen.
The buds will thus be kept back, since
the ground will thaw more slowly, and
the roots convey no nutriment to the
tree. When frosts are no longer to be
feared the covering should be removed.

GheGatelIigsnter,
Bclknap and the Republican
Party.

80 AAJt
The administration Of General Grant
comes in for its full share Of criticism IN
connection with the Belknap scandal
Thi. is natural, and, to . certain extent
altogether proper The administration
i. far from blameless. Its aPpoln'ecs 10
high Office have. not been such as to give
it the proper tone in the estimation oil Inc
pcople. Gen. Grant has exhibited a
strange pervcrsityin disregarding the adj
vice. remonstrances and criticisms Of the
best element in the Republican party.
While nobody.has been able to say that
bc himself was in collusion with the men
who have east shadows 30 close to him,
80, the fact that such men seemed
10 have so much Of his confidence,
and that one by one they have had to be
literally torn, as it were, from his COM
plnion.hip, has steadily operated to drag
down hi, administration in the respect OF
many ofthe most discerning and disinter-
r..el Republicans ii the country. A
ysry large element in the Republican
plfty have long since ceased to be apollo.
ri,,4 Tor the Administration. They have
been content, to drift quietly along tho
stream OF events until tho time should
come for anew election, hoping that there
would occur desirable opportunity to
effect new departure. ::
In one sense what has just happened At
Washington is not an unrclieved calam-
iy. 1t has most certainly killed Third
termism as dead as door-nail, and that
isomething gained. There will not now
be heard in all the land, outside Of the
clrpet.bag States, an influential voice
aling for Third.term. The people have
hll enough OF such surroundings as those
Ehich have environed General Grant,
and since he either would not or could
not cut himself loose from them, they will
cat loose from his administration.
As to the Republican party, the case
stands as we have stated it, viz: that the
best elements Of the party will now come
together at Cincinnati without embarrass.
nent and select a..man who will come up
TO the demand OF the times for unimpeach.
able proclivities and associations. While
Belknap's fall is calamity that the Re-
publican party must recognize as having
occurred within u pale, yet, as all the
country knows, It IL one for which those
who hold Republican principles are no
more responsible than are the masses who
hold Democratic views. The same argu-
nent that was used in this State only a
lev weeks ago, viz, that the Democratic
party was in nowise responsible for the
conduct of the Treasurer and Auditor,
ippIies to this case.
A party is responsible for crime only so
far as it becomes in any sense sympathet-
cwiih or apologize for it. And while,
10 doubt, there will be strong partisan
,5ort to identify the Republican party
with the shortcomings Of Babcock, Bel.
tnap, and others like. them, yet ii the
purity at the Cincinnati Convention rises
to the demands Of the occasion, and gives
the country the evidence that it is still
governed, as in the past, by "principle for
principles sake" there scvery reason to
believe that the people. will stand by its
nominees.
