A DUEL FATAL TO BOTH COMBAT-

Richmond, Va, April 3.-Thaxton 7.
Robinson aud Jesse Mitchell, young men,
highly connected in Campbell county,
Va, met to-day at New Providence
Church, near Rustburg, in that county,
to settle an old feud with pistols. Ro-
binson was shot in the abdomen, and
the other received one shot in the hand,
which glancing, went through his cheek
and lodged in the back of his head,
Another shot took effect IN his breast.
The latest report states that Robinson is
dead, and Mitchell could not survive,
The difficulty is understood to have been
on account of a woman.

THE OHIO REPUBLICAN PLAT.
FORM

When that part of the platform adop-
ted by the Ohio Republicans indorsing
Grant and his glorious civil career was
perused here to-day it made such men
as Charley Foster blush for his State.
1t is considered the richest piece of po-
litical burlesque ever perpetrated. The
Republicans of Vermont and Peusylv, n a.
who met yesterday, had the courage to
ignore Grant, but it remained for the
Hayes party of Ohio to crawl on their
bellies in the dust and lick Grants feet
for the purpose of procuring the support
of government pap in the next campaign,

The Democrats of Assumption held
a parish convention, but the clash OF
candidates was so great that 1t was
found impossible to proceed, and the
selection of ticket was remitted to o
primary election. This was held Sat
u,day before last, resulting in the
choice of the following gentlemen !:
representatives, E. Lauve, E. Himel !;
Parish Judge, Alfred Tete; Clerk OF
Court, E. L. Hebert; Sheriff, john
Dalferes; Recorder, Albert Himel ];
Coroner, A. J. Bourg. The chief con,
test was over the Office of Sheriff, and
the defeated candidate, Mr.. Edgar
Helluin, expresses great dissatisfaction
at the methods employed to prevent
his success. He has openly avowed,
we understand, that all his influence
will be brought to bear against the

ANOTHER GIN.

The State election in Colorado took
place on Tuesday, and in contraven-
ton of Democratic predictions of Re
publican defeat and of the intention
of the miners to vote the Democratic
ticket because of their desire for a
change of administration-the Repub-
licans carried the State by over 2O0O
majority, making gains in every coun-
ty, electing the Congressman and two
thirds of the Legislature.
This insures two Republican United
States Senators and three electoral
votes for Hayes and Wheeler, as the
Legislature chooses the Presidential
Electors.
At it's last election Colorado went
Democratic by several hundred ma
jority.

affair. The jury promptly rendered a

To Farmers and Laboring Men.

What party has controlled the affairs of
the nation tor the past sixteen years. The
Republican party. Who has levied and col.
lected enormous taxes, given away millions Of
acres of our public lands, plunderedt The Ma
tional treasury, squandered our revenues, par
alyzed our industries, closed our mines, rolling
mills, furnaces, FORCES aud workshops, and
brought our people to starvation, bankruptcy
and ruin; thrown thousands of honest men
out of work and banished them from their
homes to tramp" upon every thoroughfare
and highway in the land in pursuit of EN-
ployment? Is it not the Republican party
that is responsible for all this stagnation in
business; for all this misery and woe?
Shall we give this party which has been
guilty of these crimes, of this Outrageous ca
reer, a new lease of power? Shall we vote for
Hayes and Wheeler and thus perpeiuate the
reign of Grantism ? Or shall we act the part
of sensible men, and vote in II manner that
our ballots will count in the great battle for
reform which will come off next Tuesday.
Shall we act like wise mon and vote with
the army of reform that is now marching
on under the leadership of those fearless, gal
liant and honest leaders Tilden and Hendricks?
Thereis but one escape from our present diff
ficulty there is but one road which will lead
us out of our fearful condition, but one course
left for us to puruse, and that is to vote fol
Tilden and Hendricks. Farmers and work
ing men, shall we do this, and achieve q
victory decisive and complete?
In the event of the election of Tilden and
Hendri cks new era will dawn upon us
which will revive trade, set the industries Of
the nation in motion, giving employment tc
laborcr3, mechanics and artisans in every
vocation and calling, thus ensuring greater
demand and consequently better prices fol
farm products. Vote for Tilden, Hendricks
and a restoration of our crippled industries
and general revival of business.

There are but two political parties in this
country, and i'll the coming election every
mans vote will be cast so as to aid one or
the other. The people demand change in
the manner of conducting the federal gov.
ernmcut, and all over the land candidates
for Congress or for other offices are giving
to the people whose votes they solicit, the
reasons which impel them TO support Hayes
or Tidcn. This is right. The voters will
then know what to expect of their filvoritcs,
if they are elected. Among the host of can
dldatcs there is one man, however, who re.
fuses to take sides in the great contest of the
people against corruption, and that man is
Hon. j. Morrison Harris, self-nominated
candidate for Congress in this district. Can
Democrats trust him? Can Republicans
trust him? Among Democrats his friends
seek to convey the impression that he will
vote for Tildcn and Hendricks. Among
Republicans he is set down as an earnest
supporter of Hayes and Wheeler. Let him
show himself in his true colors Are his
political principles such that he is ashamed
of them? Between two stools II man falls
to the ground, and such, we opine, will be
the fate of Hon. j. Morrison Harris.
