In view of the fact that very
considerable effort is being made to
induce the Democratic members Of
the commission to resign, the follow

No provision is herein made for
vacancies occurring in the judicial
branch Of the commission. The law
itself takes care of that matter. If
Judges Field and Clifford should re-
sign, Judges Swayne and Hunt
would take their places. The real
danger, we take it, is from diatory
policy on the part of the Democrats
in Congress. But we do not appre-
bend that any very serious difficulty
1t is morally certain that the final
stroke, the finishin- touch of the
commission, will precede March 4,
and hat we are very near the end
of this distracting suspense.

Attempted Assassination Of Governor Pack.
ard Of Louisiana.

Last Thursday, about noon, man
whose name is since found to be
We den, entered the Office of Cover
nor Packard, at New Orleans, and
attempted assassination. AS told in
dispatches the facts and circumstan-
ces are as follows:
Weldon reached the executive Of
fee, where he found Mr.. Packard
seated at his desk talking to Judge
Boorman, of Caddo, who occupied a
chair on his right. Weldon sat down
in a vacant chair immediately on
Mr.. Packard's left, and after an
instant somewhat sharply asked,
''when can | see you q
Mr. Packard turned and found a
pistol aimed at his head. He imme
diately struck it down, and the
weapon was discharged, the ball
striking him in the right knee-cap,
and iufiicting slight wound. Pack
ard Immediately dealt the man a
blow with his fist, striking him be-
tween the eyes and knocking him
down. Several parties in the room
drew their pistols and fired, wound !,
ing the would-be-assassin seriously,
but not fatally OF course a scene
of intense excitement Immediately
followed.
Mr.. Packard was conveyed to his
private apartment on the second
floor Of the building, where his
wound was examined by DR.. A. W
Smy the. 1t is not of a serious char
acter, but might prove so if not
carefully tended, and will lame him
for several days. The man who tried
TO kill Mr.. Packard says his name is
VIM. Henry Weldon, and his home
is in Philadelphia. He says fun ther
that he has a mother aud sisters liy-
ing there. With regard to his at
tempt to kill Packard, he says that
there were four others with him,
who were to have assisted him in he
undertaking, but that when reaching
the State House they refused to GO
in and lett him to carry out the ln-
tended plan of assassination alone.
Weldon is not, as it turns out
very seriousl, hurt. The bali which
struck him hit him in the left arm
Just below the shoulder, and seems
to have come ont at the elbow. IT.
was thought at first that he was
killed, but it seems he was only
stunned and faint from loss of blood.
At 1870 he was so revived as to
converse with those around him
An extra Republican says of Wei
don, when told that Gov, Packard
had saved his life, he seemed to
break down, saying, with gulp,
Did Gov Packard save nay life {.
| should like to see him. Tell him
| want to see him He was neatly
dressed, with good intelligent-look
ing face, dark hair and brown nous
tache, face cleauly shaven. He wore
n large and evidently new Mason's
badge. The man was evidently a
stranger Marks on his clothing
indicated the truth of his statement
concerning his name, as did also
papers in his pocket, and Masonic
diploma.
The assassin gained admission to
the Governors paIlor by representing
himself to be a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. A comraue was
arrested and is now in close custody.
Another succeeded in making his
escape.

SEDITIoUs-Don Piatt's paper,
the Sunday Capital, of Washington,
contains in its last issue an editori
boldly advising the assassination of
Governor Hayes, and otherwise so
rebcluous as to be severely con-
dcmned and repudiated by many Of
the Democrats o, Cougr, s., while the
editors arrest for sediuon was al
yocated by many Republicans. The
article in question concludes as fol-
lows:
If q man thus returned to power
can ride IN safety from the ESecu
tive Mansion to the Capitol to be
iuauLurated. we are fitted for the
slavery that vii, touow the iuaugur-
alton. We do not believe the people
OF the United States are of this
servile sort, We do not believe that
they are prepared, without a blow,
to part with their hard-earned, blood
stained possessions, Notice is now
served on the citizens of Louisiana
and South Carolina that they must
care for themselves. How soon
lamp.posts will bear fruit Is for them
to say, To the people Of the North

counted, virtually decides the Presi-
dental controversy, and assures the
inauguration of Hayes and Wheeler
on the 9Th Of March, as President
and Vice President of these United
States. This is conceded. even by
the Democrats, Notwithstanding a
few revolutionists contend that the
Democratic House has power, and
ought to exercise it, to prevent inau-
guration, and compel new election
next fall. The Electoral Commits
sion, in considering and acting upon
Louisiana, enunciated principles
which qpenches every hope of the
Democrats that their pretended
electors from Oregon and South Car
DINA will receive recognition. Still
the ofiice-hungry crowd who expect
ed to be satiated through Tilden,
cling to Kim with q death grip, and
may attempt, by fllibustering, to
prevent a completion Of tue count
before March 4th. But little trouble
need be apprehended on that score.
If that game should be tried, the
commission would make short work
Of Oregon and South Carolina. But
the great safeguard against the OBJ
strIctlon policy is the fact that the
country would tolerate nothing of
the kind. The great mass of the
people are anXl' US for a speedy set
tlement of the controversy, and amy
party seriously attempting to pre-
vent it would thereby ruin Itself IL
retrlevable. 1t is hardly possible
that the leaders would allow the
party to commit hali-harL Tilden
has his all ut stake in this one fight
For I'm, loss now is loss forever
But the party need not be bound to
the wheels of his cart 1t is The
cardinal idea of Democracy to do
anything, however disreputable, to
win the battle, bnt it has never
shown any disposition to commit
suicide in the hour of defeat.

Chesapeake City Items.

Mr.. Watson is building a new slaughter
house.
Large shipments of coal from Richmond,
Philadelphia, to Baltimore are passing
through the canal. This formerly went by
the tide water.
Our farmers are through cutting wheat
and some of them will be done threshing
before this is in print. High prices ac-
count for this hurry.
The steamer Keystone collided with a
Friday, and sunk her.
Our public schools closed on Friday.
The improvement of the pupils under the
instruction of MIR. Cavander, the princi-
pal, is very marked. He has had charge of
both schools and has given universal salts
faction. 1t is undoubtedly the public de-
sire to have him returned next term.
The picnic of the public school came off
on Thursday. Owing to the unfitness of
the weather for outdoor indulgences, the
festivities were held in the academy build
ing. A pleasant time was had by all, and
many good things left over were distrib-
uted among the poor of the town.
Some of our men have the yacht fever.
Two fine sailers are already in our waters,
and party of young sports have gone to
the city to purchase third. We hope
they will learn to swim before they go near
the water.
Our city cousins are beginning to come
down on us. We are glad to see them and
stand ready to go "divy" with the last
spring chicken.
The glorious Fourth, glorious this year
at least in its fine weather. was enjoyed
by all. A large picnic party sailed down
the river and took possession of Welsh
Point, where a pleasant day was passed.
A band of music accompanied them
Other minor parties were out upon the
rolling billow. Those at home spent a
pleasant, quiet day.
The health of our town continues good.
We haven't heard of any one being at
tackled with rush Of money to tile pocket.

HAIL STORM.


On Sunday evening, 1st instant, we were
visited with one of the severest hail and
rain storms of the season. The lightning
struck the garden fence of Charles w. Sim
pers, Esq, doing no further damage than
splintering up one PANEL Of his fence.
The wind unroofed the Stony Run bridge,
some of the shingles were carried over
half mile, and broke down a valuable tree
in the yard of Mr.. J. l.. Mcdaniel, one of
which he set much store by.
FLAG POLE RAISED.
On the evening of the 3rd instant Mr.. D.
Mcdaniel reared beautiful flag pole of
seventy five feet in height on his hand
somely adorned "Shady Beach - farm, on
which the Union flag was flung to the
breeze on the 4th Of July; it being located
on high eminence, can be seen over quite
a large area of country.
SEVERELY HURT.
On the Both ultimo Mr.. Hugh Scarbor-
ough, of Mechanics Valley, while attempt
ing to remove calf from his horse stable,
was himself and calf both accidently pre-
cipitated beneath the horse. The animal
head and face, rendering him unconscience.
On the return of his Consciousness, he dis
covered himself lying beneath the huge
animal as above stated where he was COM
PEELED to remain until he became sufficiently
recuperated to crawl from beneath the
horse. Mr.. S. is also severely hurt in the
breast, though it is to be hoped not seri-
ously. DR.. r. Carter is the attending ply
Sician.
FOURTH OF JULY.
Fourth of July passed of unusually pleas
ant. The NJ. E. Sabbath School picnic
came off in good style in the beautiful little
grove of Rev. T. S. Thomas, known as the
Seminary" 1t was largely attended both
by pupils and teachers and quite con-
course of spectators. Ice cream and re-
freshments generally were freely dispensed
with and innocent amusement, such as Gro
quet, swinging, jumping the rope, ETC.,
was freely INDUCED in. The picnic was
one of mirth and gossip. The North East
Cornet Band discoursed some fine music on
the occasion, and then struck for new
field of labor in Charlestown. On their
ring with their notes of melody.
BATH HOUSE.
Our town is blessed (?) with only one
bath house, and that belongs to rum
seller. Happy for the victims, who wallow
in the side bitches, to have a place pro-
vided for their convenience to cleanse.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
from young indicator, on the 4th instant,
of clearing weather, has created quite
stir amongst the farmers who are pushing
their wheat and hay into their barns with
vengeance. The yield of both are good
in this community.
