WHAT A CORRESPONDENT SAYS.
| New ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-The Repub-
licans played their trump card to-day,
with careful attention to dramatic effect.
1t was the case OF Eliza Pinkston. Of
Ouachita parish. who testifies that Oh the
night of Saturday, Nov. 4, her husband
and child were killed by Democrats. her
child's throat cut, and herself outraged
and MANNED. The board had set to-day.
for East Baton Rouge, case on which
| the democrats were fully prepared TO en-
ter. But as yesterday their promise was
broken-and an investigation OF Ouach-
ita-for which the Democrats were not
ready, their witnesses not being expected
until this evcning--was begun. The
| Republicans then brought ont their two
| strongest cases of intimidation, those of
OF James and Pinkston, laying a partic-
| ular stress upon that Of Pinkston, the
woman whose husband had been muir
dered. She was brought in on sofa,
| and was truly in condition 10 excite
sympathy. The outrage was one with
out single pallatlng circumstance. 1t
is denounced here by everybody. and the
Democrats 90 even further than the Re-
| publicans. alike in its condemnation and
in demanding that the affair shall be in
yestlgated and the perpetrators punished
10 the extent of the law. Said Gov. Pal
mer: ''If were Gov. Kellogg. would
hang the men who killed Henry Pinks-
ton, or hang myself" But this suggest
a damnlng fact, to the discrtdit OF the
kellogg government, that, although
they profess to have had knowledge OF
this murder for three weeks, and
TO my knowledge the Republican com.
mittee has been nursing il fourteen days,
no effort has been made to bring the ae-
eused to justice; this, notwithstanding
the tact that all the machinery Of justice,
, through the state courts, is in the hands
OF the governor, and Sheridan and hi:
army are under his orders.
Again, when the case was preached be
, fore the board TO day, it was the Tilder
commissioners and the Democratic coun
sci who demanded the most thorough in
,, yestigation; while Judge Kelley, Gen
While and Mr.. Hale, of the Republican
committee, opposed ii at the urgent re
quest OF the Republican counsel. In fact
Mr.. sherman was the only Republican
who supported the Democratic demand

Important Arrests.

The Baltimore San of Wednesday has the
following;
Governor Carroll reached Baltimore at 3 p
NJ. yesterday from Newport Il. J. lie came
in answer to a summons by telegraph from
Police Marshal Gray; TO furnish acquisitions
on Gov. Hayes, of Ohio, for Scott Andrews
and Frank Nichols, who have been arrested in
that State on the charge of having committed
shocking outrage on the person of Mrs.
Richard Harris, young married woman living
in the southern section of Frederick county,
Md, on the 18th of June. Andrews aud
Nichols were residents in the same vicinity
1t appears that the two men called at Mr.
Harris house during his absence, and knock
ing Mt the door were answered by his wife,
said 20 be about eighteen years Of age, who,
noticing large knife in the hands of one and
suspeciing an evil intent, started TO run from
them Being overtaken, however, the men
accomplished their purpose, and then fled
across the line into Montgomery county, 1t
is understood they had the audacity to make
overtures next day TO the distressed husband
looking to a compromise whereby they might
escape arrest Mrs Harrs's head, neck and
chest were shockingly bruised, and her APP
pearanee showed that she made great rcss-
lance to her outragers. Neither of the accus-
ed is over 20 years old.
Governor Carroll when made acquainted
with the facts asked the Baltimore police au-
ihoriiies TO use every endearor TO bring the
guilty parties TO justice, and that no expense
should he spared in eGecting their capture.
Last week Marshal Gray obtained a clue to the
parties in Ohio, and detectives Kimball and
Gault were dispatched for that State. having
obtained the proper warrants from the Frede-
rick county authorities The detectives ef-
.ected the arrest OF the accused, and when
they are surrendered by the Ohio authorities

New Volume.

This week we enter upon the 22nd year Of
our existence as paper, and it has been our
constant aim during that entire period of time
TO conduct it solely for the welfare Of the peo-
pie of our county Our interests and theirs
are identical. and Whatever is productive of
their prosperity is assimiated with our well
fare.
Recognizing our county as an agricultural
community we have always given publication
TO the theories and practical experience upon
that subject, expecting them to be of benefit
to our readers and hoping thereby TO aid them
IN their fnrming operations. Al the same time
We have always sought for matter which we
supposed would be interesting, amusing and
instructive, and which would make the coll
umns of our paper interesting 10 all.
As party Journal we have never swerved
an inch from democratic principles, and have
always been earnest and hearty in our support
of the party's nominees. In this respect we
intend 10 continue MS we have been, for we
believe that good government can never be
restored to the people except by supremacy
Of those democratic principles which the past
has tested and can never be maintained except
BY perpetuation of their ascendancy.
We are thankful to our patrons for their
past support and hope we will continue to
merit their favor in tie future. Those of
our patrons who are now in arrears we kindly
