until several days after the marriage, but
when it finally came his rage was intense.
He attacked his unWelcome son-in-law,
who fled precpitately from his presence,
leaving the old man in Il frenzy Of indig-
nation. The father then offered his daugh-
ter the alternative Of renouncing her hus-
band or going from her fathers house for
all time. The plucky girl said she had
made up her mind, and she was going

The Bastrop Republican, of October
% thus relates the assassination of Il
prominent Republican of its parish ::
On Saturday night last after the
Democratic speaking and torehlight
procession were over. Mr.. Law. who
had come to- town to witness the same,
had lust mounted his horse to return
home in company with two or three
neighbours. when he was shot and
killed. From the statements of Mr..
Law before he died and of those who
witnessed the shooting, there We're
three OF moie persons waylaying him.
He was shot ut three times, twice with
shotgun and once with Il pistol.
Two balls entered the lower portion
of the abdomen, and were the only
wounds inflicted. The horse was
shot, which frightened him and he
ran some two hundred yards and fell,
having received IA mortal wound Mr..
Law was able to secret himself until
wagaE passed, when he got in il
aud went to Mr. Cason's residence.
He there fingered about twentyfour
hours and died. There is as yet no
clue to the assassins. Mr.. Law stated
he knew one of the parties, but so far
as we are now informed he never
divulged the name.

Objections to Hayes.

John Morrissey thinks Governor
Hayes former associations were so
degrading that he can not support
him.
Twenty dollar" Robbins of North
Carolina says that Governor Hayes
method of conducting this campaign
amounts to absolute bribery, and he
can not vote for such man.
Proctor Knott says he has reason
to believe that Mr.. Hayes was guilty
of withholding some important cleo
ton returns in Ohio, several hours
before making them public, for selfish
and partisan purposes, and he can
not support such il man.
Mr.. Tilden says that he can not but
believe that Mr.. Hayes was guilty OF
positive evasion in the matter OF pay
ing taxes, and he can not counter
ance such fraud by supporting the man
who committed it. We must have
reform.
Boss Tweed says he believes Gov
ernor Hayes is positively dishonest.
Jefferson Davis says it is his i'm
preston that Governor Hayes was
guilty of tacit if not actual disloyalty
during the war, and he can't endure
that.
Ben Hill says he is pot satisfied
with Governor Hayes war record
This is probably true.
Sunset Cox says he is too much OF
a buffoon too fond of acting the
clown, and he never did like that in
public men.
| Blue Jeans Williams says Governor
HAYES doesn't wear good enough
clothes to suit him there isn't enough
tone and style about him for Presi,
dent.
| Wilbur F. Storey says he doesn't
consider Governor Hayes u strictly
truthful man, and that is his great
test of fitness in any man.
! Henry Waterson says he believes
Governor Hayes drinks, and that bars
him from the support of the Courier,
Journal.
Fernando Wood says his only OBJ
lection to Governor Hayes is that h
| CANDLES he knows he does.
John Kelly says he was Fenian
Henry Clay Dean says he ism
clearly enough in his habits nor snt'
ficiently particular about his persona
appearance to command the support
of men who, like himself, believe il
physical us well as political Ieform.
