KILLED BY HIS SISTER "A shocking affair
occurred on Saturday night at Hillsdale, on
the Pennsylvania railroad, some fifteen miles
out Of Piltsburg, by which a young man
named Joseph Hsdtham, aged twenty -one,
was almost instantly killed by his sister.
II seems that Mary Hadthau, aged eighteen,
had been left at home with two young sisters,
and been warned to be careful about tramps
who infest the neighborhood. The brother
had been TO spelling school and returned home
about o'clock. When he approached the
house the dogs commenced to bark, and his
sister went to the door TO ascertain the cause.
When she looked out she saw man coming
towards the door. aud called "Is that you
Joe 7" She repeated the question several
times, and receiving no answer, she seized
a heavy loaded shotgun and fred at the in
truder.
The shot struck. the brother In the breast,
and throwing up his arms he fell 10 the ground
exclaiminR, "My dear sister," He died in
less than half an hour. The sister was so
Mortified when she discovered she had shot her
brother that she became insane.

Representative Page has offered resolu-
tion to decrease South Carolina's representa-
tiop TO two. This decrease is founded on the
allegation By Page that many voters of the
State are disfranchsed. A veil for his ras-
eally purpose. The southern strength holds
the Radical party in check. II this strength
could be subdued by any means to-day suf-
hciently to give the Radical party power, not an
hour would intervene longer than necessary
before that party would disfranchise every
negro Of the South to diminish her represen-
faiion, since the negro there has abandoned
the party.

Friday Morning -. December ls, 1878.
Reform.

We have heard OF laie from some would-be
wise political prophets some very gloomy pre-
dictions of the future standing of The Democ-
Mcy in this county. The reason assigned for
the approaching going asunder of the party
Is, that reform is needed and that to accom-
plish such reform people must sever party ties
and in fusion of men of all parties strike to
this end-they must reserve ''party" for
national issues.
We recognize several matters Of reform in
county government, but we do not recognize
any necessity for disruption of the party to
accomplish these reforms. And it appears to
MS that Democrat is making an unwise and
unwarranted acknowledgment when he con-
cludes otherwise. To those men with whom
Democracy means economy, just legislation,
in fact, good government, this desire for de-
parture will appear as a mistake, an improper
understanding Of the party policy and lack
of appreciation Of what has been attained.
The old and tested principles are far more
comprehensive Of the peoples wants, and ill.,
6nitely more applicable to the same than can
be the ienets of any new departure which, by
the very nature Of affairs in this county, must
base and build its success upon the carcas
Of defunct Republicanism
There are reforms 10 be made, and common
sense teaches that the Democratic party is bet
ter qualified than any other. The explanation
Of the matter is that men become impatient.
II faction is unsuccessful in the effort to Sc
cure the overthrow of any ring it is a mistaken
policy, for il the ring triumphs and the other
faction bolts they leave the party in the hands
of the ringsters and thus the principles are
sacrificed TO impatience. II is duty TO work
for the best government Of your party, bat
the definition of "duty" does not imply i'm
patience. You eau accomplish more by work.
Ing with your party's principle than with the
impetuosiiy Of any new departure. The his
tory of so-called reform movements in this
State warrants that reforms which cannot
be effected within the party are nothing more
than restlessness and desire for change. 1t
10 well to ventilate all county matters, but 1t
should be done for instruction and not for the
foundation OF more splits.
To our opinion il will be long period be-
tween now and the time of Democratic impo-
tency. Though the psr,y's wisdom has been
much tried, still there is sufficient potential
energy in the grand old organization for any
emergency that may arise. And this now
dormant energy will be converted into driving
power when the time arrives. fusion now
would serve the Republicans well; It would
lead to Republican domination in Montgomery
county. Republican domination in Montgom-
cry county II sounds too mocking for Demo-
Gratis to heed those sinister whsperings which
have called forth this article. We have no
besitstion in saying, and say it boldly that the
Democracy can and will nominate good men,
and men equal 10 all wise reforms. Thus we
predict all that can be reasonably desired.

The first kiln Of bricks for the new WASH

moval Of this institution was voted for at the
hast election. II appears from results that the
people OF that county voted with the main
purpose OF removing ,he poor aud crippled as
far into seclusion as possible when they voted
for Uruer who will be lost amidst the intelli-
sence 10 Congress, and the erection Of new
institution further In The county from Hagers-

CONTESTED.

]. Paran Crane, the Republican candidate
for Congress in the fifth Maryland district has
sent TO Dr. Henkle official notice of contest for
the seat in the for,y-sixth Congress. The
notice recites in twenty y-three clauses vivid
and awful account Of gigantic election frauds
utter insigni6cance all other Freaks of Repub-
lcan imagination in painting outrages in the
South. The document rejoices in the illustri-
Gus parentage of G. Irving Ditiy. The fifth
become very ickle. Communities which for
years have proudly boasted their Democracy
are BY this trick Of political jugglery turned
into the blacklist of Radical holes. The docu-
to this document in one Of the counties there
were as many fraudulent votes cast as there
were votes registered. And Mr.. D. has in
vented process Of reasoning by which Dem
ocratic majorities of hundreds are converted
into Republican majorities Of thousands. 1t is
rumored that Mr.. Diity will request Mr..
Hayes to make this matter subject for post
script to his 'Sonthern outrages."
Mr.. Crane has allowed himself TO be led to
very unhealthy height and we are afraid that
be will be compelled to sit down in the mud.
There is in such cases a compensation general
ly allowed the contestant, and it may be that
in this fact lies the source of Mr.. Ditty's
righteousness and Mr.. Cranes ambition.
