AMONG the most devilish Democratic
outrsCes IS ,he attempt to fix on Governor
Holden, Of North Carolina, the crime vi
killing S:vens without malice or motive
Stevens Has decoyed out of Democratic
meeting 10y al eX-Democratlc sheriff, taken
into a room under the Democratic meeting
Gin the court house, and then and there
murdered ard robbed of $500 by Demo
Gratis because they feared and hated him.
The $4,000 insurance on his life was OBJ
tanned from his ife on fraudulent pre-
tences by Hill, Democratic lawyer, ami
thus the dead and living were both robbed.
In the KIRK War" not a drop of blod was
shed, and the whole disturbance Was caused
by the resistance Of the Democrats to the
execution of the laws. A number of the
murderers were convicted, and some of
them are still serving their country under
guard. OF course these men and their
friends do not feel kindly toward Governor
Holden or Col. Kirk, who made the arrests.
This is not strange, but it is great outrage
for Democrats to attempt to fasten the
guilt on men who only did their duty in
enforcing law and order. Nevertheless,
this, as a thousand other cases, shows the
animus of reconstructed traitors, and how
great the folly Of pardoning traitors while
the hot blood of their treason is reeking on
their garments. 1t is notorious that the
life of Col. Kirk and men of his character,
whose war record is untarnished, who
stood by the Union and now stand by the
laws, is unsafe in their native South.

IT Is AMUSING and would be astounding
if Democracy could do anything astound-
ing, to see the brszen effrontery with
which Democratic organs denounce fraudu-
lent voting. as if they had never opposed
registration laws and all other means OF
preventing illegality, and had not always
and at all times resorted to this method of
supplying the requisite number of votes to
carry elections. As well might the devil
play missionary and preach holiness of
heart to bell-bound sinners. Every man.
woman and child knows that it is fraudu-
lent pretense has no honest basis, and is
done only for effect.

The GLORY OF TAnNAEYs DIVISION

The Democrats claim for Tilden the en-
tire glory of the overthrow of Tammany
and the punishment of its Democratic
thieves, who have ruined the greatest city
on the continent Charles F. Wingate, in
the ''North American Review" devotes q
labored article to this work. "The Com
mittee of Seventy" composed of men of
all parties and the most respectable classes,
were afraid of the eyes of the world, and
'indulged in too much posturing and de-
bate, and not enough in steady work"
Now, 1t is well l-known:fact that all the
better portion of New York city stood at
the back of the Committee of Seventy, and
but for their support the movement would
have been complete failure. Mr.. Tilden
may have consulted his Democratic con-
freres, but Mr. Tilden did not inaugurate
the movement, could not have sustained
it alone, and has not made much OF a sue
cess in that or the punishment of the canal
ring beyond mere division of Tammauy
and quarrel as to which band Of plumber
ers shall continue the stealing. The most
Of the robbers are at large; the treasury
has recovered nothing; the debt is not
diminished, aud is still increasing prop
erty has deprecated one hslf in conse
quence of enormous debt and taxes, aud
New York city is retrograding. A 'pr0-
ic-spirited committee" did the work for
the impeachment of Barnard. NJ. Tildea
was asked TO present the petition, but de
clined in favor of Mr.. Alvord, and thus
lodged the responsibility in the Lecisla
lature, Mr. W. says, ito conciliste Ger
tain section, which was quite unworthy
of true Telormer, such as Mr. TilJen
claims to be, who delights to take bulls by
the horns. But the real work OF investiga-
ton was done by the Judiciary. Parsons
and 6tickDey were employed as counsel, to
whom, at least, part OF the credit is due.
At the present rate, by November Tilden
viii have 80 absorbed all the virtues of all
good Democrats that the party will have
no morality left if it ever had any to lose.

THE news from Europe this morning,
though somewhat vague, is of startling
character, and indicates fear on the part
of the several Governments of disturb
snce over Turkey of more serious char
acter than has before been anticipated.
That most sensitive indicator, the stock
market, at London, Frankfort, Berlin and
Paris-and in New York-by its sud
den fall, indicates fears of trouble.
A treaty or agreement between Russia,
Austria and Germany is believed to
have been very recently ofected.
England is ignored in consequence OF her
dissent from the Berlin note" France, too,
was not consulted. A few days will now
probably decide the question whether or
not there is 10 be general European war.

Or the 2Sth of April, 1876, Deadwood
City was laid out and lots became subject

and with degree of certainty can we
look upon her as a city Ia be proud of to-
day and one we can rest assured OF as
being not only to-day but for years to
come the metropolis of Lawrence county
organized or unorganiz"d. To-day the
value of the Improvements already made
in our city will foot up not less than $780,
600, not saying word regarding the lots
themselves, which cost in the first place
the small sum of $3.50 each. Taking
the price paid for uniml lrovedl lots sold in

4 TRAMP VINO HUNGERED AND
THIRSTED FOR Work.

a robust tramp called at a house for
something to eat, averring that he had
not tasted food for week.

the lady TO whom he preferred his Pc
tition
Work." he CALCULATED Work
And what have been doing ever since

Who will give me work? When do I
ever refuse work."
"Well," said the woman, a. guess I
can give you some employment What
can you do?"
" Anything" he shouted, in kind of
delirious JOY. Anything that any man
can do. Pm sick for something to fly at.
Why, only yesterday I worked all day,
carrying water in an old sieve from Flint
river and emptying it into the Missis-
sippi, just because 1 was so tired of
having nothing to do, that l had to work
at something or would have gone ravin'
crazy. I'll do anytf ing, from cleaning
house to building steamboat. Jest give
me work, ma'am, an you'll never hear
me ask for bread agin"
The lady was pleased at the willing
ness and anxiety of this industrious man
to do something, and she led him to the
wood pile.
"Here," she said, "you can saw and
split this wood, and if you are good,
industrious worker, will find work for
you to do nearly all winter"
"Well, now," said the tramp, while a
look of disappointment stole over his
face, that's just my luck. Only three
days ago was pullin' blind cow out OF
a we'll for a poor widow woman who had
nothin' in the world but that COW TO
support her, an l spraint my right

to see the dust fly"
Very WELL" said the lady, " then yor

been very much neglected, and weet
them very carefully for me. You car
