and, though I meant to forgive
him, thought of how I might make
him more sorry. Iwrote him that his
mother was dead-'twas awful, wasn't
it? IN never, never forgive myself for
that. Don't try to stop me, old lady.
I'll own up the whole, now. I've begun.

and when I wrote to him again, stran-
ger sent me word that he'd gone-and
there was what my cruel will did for

The Attempted Murder of Gov. Pack
ard of Louisiana by Democratic
Assassin.

The following statement Is from a
gentleman present In the Governors
room, and witnessed the attempted
assassination
Two men, one ofthem the wounded
man, who gave his name as Joseph
Huttle, but whose real name, from
papers found in his possession, is ascer-
tained to be William H. Weldon, and
slim, one-armed man who gave no
name. called at the door of the State
Capitol and asked to see Mr.. Packard.
There was some demurring about ad-
mitting them, when one proclaimed
himself to be an ex-Federal officer and
the other discharged soldier. They
were brought to the head of the stairs.
where Weldon represented that he
was a correspondent of the Philadel-
phia PreJs, and desired to see Governor
Packard. The name of Joseph Huttle
was sent in, but the one-armed man
declined to enter. Weldon reached
the executive office, where he found
Mr.. Pack ard seated at his desk, talk
ing with Judge Boarman, of Caddo,
who occupied chair on his right.
Weldon sat down in a vacant chair
Immediately on Mr.. Packard's left,
and, after an instant, sharply asked,
"When can see you?" Mr.. Packard
turned and found pistol aimed at
his head. He Immediately struck 1t
down. and the weapon was discharged
the ball striking him in the right
knee-caps and inflicting a slight wound
Governor Packard immediatly dealt
the man blow with his fist striking
him between the eyes and knocking
him down. Several parties in the
room drew their pistols and fired,
woundiDg the would-be assassin
seriously but not fatally. OF course a
scene of intense excitement immedi
ately followed. The one-armed man
arrested, and conveyed, to the office
of the uperintendent of Police, and
Weldon was kept close prisoner in
the executive office. Mr.. Packard
was conveyed TO his private apartment
on The second floor of the building,
where his wound was examined by
DIR. A. w. Smythe. 1t is not of
serious character, but might prove so
If not carefully tended, and will lame
him for several days. The man who
tried to kill Packard says that his
name is William Henry Weldon, and
that his home is in Philadelphia. He
says, further, that he has mother
and sisters living there. With regard
to his attempt to kill Packard, he says
that there were four others with him
who were to have assisted him in the
undertaking but that, when reaching
the door Of the State House, they re-
fused to go in and left him to carry
out the Intended plan of assassination
alone. Weldon. ifsuch be his name,
is not, as 1t turns out, very seriously
hurt. The ball which struck him hit
him in the left arm, just below the
shoulder, and seems to have come out
at the elbow. 1t was thought at first

Regarding appropriations for carry
ing on and paying expenses of the
Nebraska Hospital for the insane, the
State Journal calls attention to the
wide diffeFance between the amount
recommended by the COMMITTEES and
the amount allowed by the House:
The committees recommended for
instance SIG, 900 for groceries and pro-
visions for the Hospital for the insane
during the year 1877, and Sl9,50o for
1878. The House by motion, and
without debate, cut the appropriation
for each year down TO $4,000. A sim
liar reduction was made in the ap-
propriations for clothing for the poor
insane, and for fuel and medicines.
This is certainly a curious way Of
doing business amongst Legislators
" no ought TO know what they are do
ing. The committee recommended
double as much money as was neces-
sary or else the House did not make
sufficient appropriation by one half.
Evidently the Committee orthe House
did not know what they were doing,

We congratulate ex-Gov. Butler,
upon the final expunging from the
journal Of the eighth legislature OF the
records of his impeachment as Gov
ernor. The vote by which this dis
creditable act was consigned to
oblivion was decisive In both houses,
being a two-thfrds vote In the Senate
and about a tbres-fourths vote in the
House. A very large majority of the
people of the State will heartily con-
cur with this righteous action, and
the occupation of the poverty-stricken
politicians who have Heretofore
thrown mud at David Butler. because
of his unmerited misfortunes. will be
gone. He has survived the jealousy
and hate that thrust him down, and
few men In Nebraska have stronger
hold upon the hearts of the people
than he.-Stdte Journal.

On the 10Th inst. the high joint COM
mission at Washington, which State

ing a decision on the Presidential
question, ordered Louisiana to be
counted for Hayes and Weller. This
leaves no doubt of the final result be-
ing 10 favor of Hayes. A large num-
Der of the Democrats In Congress
favor revolution, but a majority OF
them are not so inclined, and the in
dications are that Hayes will be peace
ably insugurated. The Oregon case
is now being tried, and short work
will be made of it. The remaining
State from which there are two sets
of certificates is South Carolina, but
the Democrats will hardly make an
effort In that direction, for Ii is a much
better case for the Republicans than
either Florida or Louisiana.
