dress of sympathy and affection for our beloved

a GREAT ABUSE. The bill introduced
into the House of Representatives by Mr.
Glover to prevent Governors of States
from calling upon the President for troops
to serve partisan purposes is very natural
ly suggested by recent events. Under the
provisions of this bill any Governor ap-
pealing to the federal executive on the
false pretense "that riot, insurrection or
overt acts of rebellion are occurring in
his State" or falsely certifying "that the
Legislature of said State cannot be con-
vened," is deemed guilty of a misdemean-
or, and is subject on conviction to fine
of from 81 900 to SIC, 900, or imprisonment
from one to ten years. 1.-The only defect
in the bill" says the Nation, seems to be
in making the crime a misdemeanor. II

TRUTHS MIGHTY AND MCST PRE-
vAII.-John l. Davenport, well known as
the chief federal supervisor of elections
in New y York, testified before the House
committee Of investigation, on Friday
that he knew Of no frauds at the Novem-
Der election in that city; that the city and
federal authorities worked together har-
moniously, and that he could only ac-
count for the large democratic majority
on the supposition that many republicans
on that occasion voted with the demo-
Gratis. We presume that Davenport's
testimony will be regarded as conclusive
so far as the allegations of fraudulent
voting in New York are concerned. If
republicans in the North went so largely
over to the democratic side in the late
election need there be any surprise that
in the South, where the abuses have beer
most felt, they should do the same

ANOTHER HONEST REPUBLICAN
WHO WON'T TAKE A RETURNING-BoARp
ELECTION.

WHO WON TAKE n RETt tRNlNG-BOARD
ELECTION.
Il. 7. Carr, was Republican candidate
for sheriff iu DeSoto parish, last month,
but was defeated, with the rest of the Re-
publican ticket, the Democrats carrying
the parish on the heaviest vote ever poll
ed, 1904 to sos. Nevertheless, the Re
turning Board counted Carr in, but he
re fused to accept such an election. He
says he was nominated in New Orleans,
and, Notwithstanding he telegraphed his
declination of his nomination and subse-
quently declined it in card, he was put
on the ticket and voted for, but he believes
that the Democratic candidate was fairly
elected, and declines to accept the com
mission from kellogg. Regarding the al
legged intimidation, he says that the
charge is unqualifiedly false, and adds;
sin this connection may say that was

and could settle with him. They started on their way; but they forgot to stop and settle. Upon MT. Johnson's arrival from the field he was informed of the state of affairs and started in hot pursuit. He overlook them this side of Goshen and demanded $5. co for the oats and his truu- ble in collecting, which they refused to pay, but offered $2.O0. He then rode on to Goshen, procured writ of Albert Wadhams, and on their arrival in town Mir. Porter served it upon them. The Jews began to think hy this time that neither Goshen, or Cornwall was their Promised Land. They asked for legal counsel and were directed to. Mir. Wad- hams, whom they retained, and were ad- vised to settle the matter on the spot. Wherenpon they repaired 10 the hotel in company with Mr. w., and interviewed Mir. Johnson. They first tried to soften him with the plea that they were brother Freemasons. He seemed to think 1t only an additional aggravation that brother Masons should have tried to cheat him in the item of oass; and, at once raised his demand for damages to $500. The poor Jews, fearing that the price of oats might continue to rise. paid him his price. Mir. Wadhams then put in his claim for $aO0, as retaining fee. which they were obliged to pay: so that. including expenses. their six quarts of oats cost them about 5000 A.

Homicide In Winsted.

The people of Winsted were much ex- cited, last week, by the killing of one Pe- ter Dupont. a Frenchman, by Jerry Mo Laughlin, an Irishman. The American, gives the following report of the affair:
 On Monday Dupont got drunk and wandered over to where A l & G s Chat fields masons are erecting the new brick depot for the Naugatuck road. The ma- sons recognized Dupont's condition and shouted to him to Pull down his vest" tossing down fecks of mortar upon him from theic higher position on the wall: it is also said they flung down pail of water upon him. Dupont was naturally enraged, and when one of the masons, Jerry Mclaughlin (said to hail from Westport) came down, he threatened to pick a drunken row with him, but went away after a slight encounter. Soon he returned and Mclaughlin told him to go away, and as he did not comply he hit at him with the spirit level the plumb at. tached to it striking him over the temple and fracturing his skull. This was to- wards night on Monday. and Dupont was laid on some bagging in the Naugatuck freight depot where he remained all night without attention, the presumption prob ably being that he was only dead drunk. The next morning, however, it was appar- ent that Dupont was soon to die, and some of the officials of the Naugatuck road sent for a doctor; but it was too late for Dupont died about noon Tuesday. That afternoon Mclaughlin was arrested and brought before three grand jurors for trial, who heard some evidence and concluded that he acted in self defence; he was discharged, and this Wednesday, morning came to this city, many citizens believing that he would have been lynched had he remained in Winsted. The people of Winsted were naturally much dissatisfied with the way in which Mclaughlin was let go. A corners jury vas summoned, the case was more thoroughly investigated. and itappsared very plainly that Mclaughlin was mot at al, justified in his harsh treatment of the deceased; that he inflicted the mortal blow in mere wantonness; and that his conduct after Dupont's death showed him hardened brute. The coroners jury found that Dupont came to his death from wounds inflicted by Mclaughlin and warrant is out for his arrest, but it is supposed that he has fled the state. There is much indignation at the bung- ling manner in which the case was man. aged by the authorities. Nobody wants the murderer lynched, but that he should be allowed to escape without a thorough legal investigation is justly held dis grace.

Perhaps Mir. Samuel J. Tilden IS the hardened reprobate Republican organs picture him; perhaps not. At least there is some variety in their portraits. Not so with that dreadful electrotype which precedes the editorial matter of those small Dem ocratic sheets which cover the earth from Portland to San Francisco. The only difference is one of color. Sam uel's smile is eternal, but his complexion varies. He ''differentiates" all the way from the light malatto of the Waterbury Index to the coal black negro of the Winsted News. Isn't there society in New York which puts stop to the cir culation of such things as these?
