ST. Louis, October ll.-Between A
AID 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Jas.
Willis shot and killed Joseph Bearsley.
near Jefferson Barracks. some ten miles
below this city. 1t appears Willis had
engaged Bearsley to move his family.
consisting of himself, wife and young
niece, and household effects, from Ed.
wnrdsville, Ill, to Piedmont, Wayne
county, Mo. They reached here yester-
day morning aud passed through the
city southwark, Bearsley and the two
women in the wagon, aud Willis walking
on the sidewalk, Willis apparently got
confused, lost sight Of the wagon and
wandered about the streets, but finally
received proper directions and FASTENED
on to overtake the wagon. In the mean.
time Bearsley had gone with the wagon
and reached a point about two miles
south Of the river, at Desperes, where be
halted an hour. Willis arrived out of
breath and in a towering rage. He at
charged Besrsley with attempting
to run away with bis wife and niece.
This Bearsley denied and said that he
and the women had been waiting nearly
an hour for him. Without paying any
attention to this Willis went to the wag-
on, took from it a double. bsrreled shot.
gun and fred a charge Of buckshot into
Bearsley's body, killing him, then walk.
ing . lew steps neare lodged another
into him. Willis then fed to the
woods and at last accounts had not been
captured. The body of Bearsley and
two women we're brought to the city.

st. Louis Special to Cincinnati Eneuirer.l
To the surprise OF q good many PEG,
pie, and to the ehagrin Of numerous am.
bilious politicians, Governor Phelps to-
day appointed Colonel d. II. Armstrong
to Gil the unexpired term Of Senator
Bogy, made vacant by bis death. Arm.
strong is known as the old wal horse OF
Democracy in Missouri. and belongs to
the aggressive wing of the party. He is
remarkable more for his clear grit and
vim than for his learning or ability; and
while he will do the State no special dis.
credit will not be apt to make a great
noise in the senate by forensic displays
or a keen aptitude for committee work.
During tie war he was in strong sym
patty with the C~onfederates, though not
an active participant. In 1870 be was
chairman of the Democratic State Cen.
trail Committee, and by many is credited
with being the author Of what is known
in Missouri politics as the Passive Pol
icy" whereby the Democracy let the
State nominations 20 by default, giving
their support TO the Liberal Republican
ticket, headed by B Gratz Brown, which
was elected, thus knocking the bottom
clean out of the Radical party, and re
STEERING the State eventually and perma.
nently TO the Democracy. By the ap-
pointment of Armstrong, Phelps pays a
debt which he has frequently acknowl.
edged to the appointee. When Gov
Phelps was a candidate for
governor q story was put in c@ireula.
ton which severely injured his charac.
ter for chastity and honor toward
women. 1t was known as the steam.
boat scandal" The gist of it was an
alleged assault on q respectable lady
while travelling with her on the steam
boat Lady Johnson, from Hannibal TO
st. Louis. There was such q clamor
about it, in and out of the party, that
the Democratic central committee held
a mseting and discussed the propriety
Of forcing Phelps to withdraw from the
canvass There is no doubt that at one
time the committee had resolved on
this course, when Armstrong, whose
influence was great, put himself into
the breach, and by his persuasion in.
duced the committee to take no notice
Of the story, assuring them it was an in-
vention Of the enemy, and hat it would
be unjust for the party to aid in the sac.
rihce Of the man who had been its best
friend in tie stormiest days. In fact,
Armstrong saved Phelps from an invita-
ton to step down and out, when the goal
Of q long cherished ambition was prac-
tieally run, and Phelps settles the score
By sending him to the senate. Armstrong
is a Nova Scotan by birth, sixty-Gve
years Of age and an almost lifelong resi-.
dent Of St. Louis.

The administration journals are set
back considerably over the result of the
Ohio election. The swinging around
the circle" feat performed recently by
President Hayes and cabinet in Ohio,
failed to yield forth fruit except that irnit
which turned to ashes on Republican
lips. Senator Stanley Matthews, the
White House brother-in.lSw will be retired
for the future, aud he will have to secure
some foreign Office by appointment. The
bloody.shirt policy of the leading Re-
publicans of the Morton school has been
repudisted, and in the wreck Of the Re-
publican party in Ohio but little can be
saved that will be encouraging to Presi-
dent Hayes and the new administration

the triumphant election Of the Demo.

1850. 1t was a glorious victory. All
