Comments OF the Press on the
New York Convention,

New York, September 27.-The morn.
Ing papers generally comment exten.
tensively on the Rochester Convention.
The Sun praises Conkling for his great
victory, and says: II can be said that
COnkling controlled u convention Of
Office holders and parasites. They we're
staunch old.time Republicans, the back
bone Of the party since its foundation,
without whom 1t could not retain even a

The Times says: There was a deal too
much Of Conkliug yesterday, and de-.
nounces the Plat. .Conkling platform and
the Convention itself. The Republican
campaign, begun under such auspices, Is
bereit in advance OF lie most effective
weapons. Brought to the leyel OF the

horts OF Ignorance, superstition and vice,

indorsement OF the President, Conkling

ship, but the leadership Is worthless to
him and 10 the party. The only aggressive
things done were aimed against the Pres.
ident and not against the Democrats.
The Herald thinks that Conkling made
a great mistake, and takes a similar view
with the Times and Tribune.
The Tribune says: Conkllng has made
the gathering hostile, fierce and contempt.
GUS. The demonstration against The
President 10 aggravated in every possible
manner with studied insults, made 80
malignant that all friends Of the Admin
istration must resent them. Plat, the
President, Is the man whom Conkling
wanted to be Postmaster General under
Hayes, the party to exclude EvartS.
Plat opened with the complaint that
those who had fought from morning TO
nishtfor the party had not been re warded;
denounced Evarts as a pecksnlfl, trick
ster and demagogue, and applied similar
terms to other officials, including the
President. For Conkling and his fol.
lowers it is war to the knife, but for
New York Republicans Conkling's de.
clarations have no sacredness. The mi.
nority yesterday represented the true

\ Terrible Dom mqstic Tragedy.

ZAEEsvGLLE, September &c, lS77.-In.
tense excitement was occasioned here
to-day by the discovery of n fearful trng
edy which had been enacted n few miles
from town, and involved the death Of
two persons-a man and wife. The vic.
tins were Mr.. and Mrs. Abner .James.
Mr.. James was an undertaken, who had
an office in this city. It seems that he
and his vile did not live happily together.
They had been married about fourteen
months, and recently business troubles
added to their unhRppiness to such an
extent that separation was talked
about. Yesterday their disagreement
seemed TO have reached climax, when
the wife left the house, declaring as she
went that she never would live with her
husband again. She started for her moth.
er's house, which ia out from this city in
the suburbs. The husband followed her,
and both Of them we're seen leav.
ing the city on the afternoon train on the
q. 4 NJ. V. Railroad. They got of the
train at Delcarbo, and started to walk
across the fields to the house Of widow
Lacock, the mother Of Mrs. James. She
resides on small farm about mile ea.t
OF Roseyille, which is about eight or nine
miles from this city. When last seen
alive, they were walking together, and
apparently in an excited condition. They
were walking up the lane leading from
the public road toward the house. They
never reached the house. This morning
about eight O'Clock the bodies Of both
were found lying in fence corner about
three hundred yards from the house.
The husband had a bullet hole in his
breast, and the wiiC one in the tenn pie
and another in the region Of the
heart. They were tightly locked in
each others arms, and in the left
hand OF the wIfe-held as in vice
was revolver, with which it is supposed
the dreadful deed was done: How they
came to their death is in a measure Il
mystery, rs no one saw the fearful trage.
dy enacted. The suppositlon is, however,
that the vile first shot the husband, and
then put the two bullets in her own body
before death came 10 her. There was no
indication Of any struggle, and il Is cup.
posed that it was plan mutually agreed
upon to put final quielus upon all their
earthly sorrows.
james, the husband, for some time ha d
been quite despondent, owing to his bust.
ness troubles, and many thought he was
demented. Both parties were compare.

made.

mission appointed by the grand Jury TO
investigate the records Of the Probate
Court OF Salt Lake county report that
from September, 1870, to September, 1877,
upwards OF three hundred divorces were
granted. Eighty per cent Of that num-
Der were applied for when both parties
to the suit were non.residents and beyond
the jurisdiction OF the court. There is
reason to believe that other County Pro.
bate Courts Of the territory are likewise
engaged in this class Of divorce business
to an equal il not greater extent, One
hundred and fifty cases are complete in
