A Horrible Story.

The press is fortunately seldom called
upon to record so savage and inhuman a
tragedy as that which was enacted in
Georgia on Monday last. A wretch
named Caldwell murdered his wife three
OF his children and his sister-in-law with
q smoothing iron and then ended his
own life in a most desperate and fright
full manner. After committing the bru-
tai crime the fiend threw himself into n
well, but failing to kill himself and no
doubt disappointed by the unexpected
shallowness of the water, he managed to
crawl out, and, going to the top of his
house, jumped from the roof to the
ground. He was stunned by the fall and
was found by two negroes but even yet
death did not come to his relief.
Recovering his senses he despatched
the negroes for assistance, and in their
absence contrived to drag himself to the
roof of the gin house, threw himself
headlong to the ground and was instant
ly killed. The most affecting part of the
story is the escape of once little child,
who crawled under the house and thus
escaped the fathers fury. Three elder
children were absent at school or at work
in the fields. The annals of crime can
scarcely contain more horrible story or
a more determined suicide. 1t is only
charitable to believe that the murderer
must have been raving maniac when
he committed the butchery.

THE NOMINATION ELEcTIoN.-The
Democratic nomination election for
Sheriff and Coroner takes place on Sat
urday. This is necessary part of our
local government, although 1t is not con-
Quoted under authority of any statute, it
is under the rules of the party organiza-
ton, which ought to command the re-
spect of e 5ery honorable and fair-mind-
ed man of either party, and we presume
it will. Hence it becomes the duty of
the voters alike with the judges to see to
it that everything is done with propriety
and in order. Let all come forward and
vote who desire to vote. But let all
voters conduct themselves as men un-
derstanding fully the effect of that vote;
that it looks to selecting officers who are
to administer the laws of the county.
Avoid all disorders and let all work in
harmony, having in view the public
good more than the benefit of any of the
aspira nts who are respectable citizens
of capacity and good Judgment.

The investigation into the electoral
frauds has passed entirely out of the cat
egoly of ridiculous things. No one SER
lously disputes its grave importance any
longer.
The daily gazette., 1878-06-06

THE INVESTIGATION of the PreSiden-
tial frauds will have many beneficial eff
fects, beside settling the question had in
view as TO who was elected to the Chief
Magistracy.
1t will give the people such an inside
view of Washington society as to prove
to them how dish0norabte the so-called
Honorable" men whom the high sala-
ries have induced to seek nominations to
Congress are.
In former years when Representatives
and Senators received $Sa day and their
mileage no member of the Senate would
be tolerated in the society Of other mem
bers if his character was tarnished with
bribery, either as fee as counsel in a
claim before Congress or as lobbyist.
Now, it is notorious that Congressman
are feed to attend to many matters by ex-
tensive manufacturers; that some of them
are large operators themselves, and that
others have been deeply involved with
lobbyists. In fact this has been one of
the chief aims of many pettifogers to get
into Congress. And unfortunately too
often lazy and indifferent lawyers, who
have not brains enough to make living
at their profession have been allowed to
be sent to Congress where they serve no
good purpose, and are ready to vote for
any scheme that is brought forward, il
their votes are worth buying.
The people ought to send 70 Congress,
men who have made regulations fol-
themselves. Those who have ATTENDED
TO their own business in such manner
as to acquire success, are most likely t
give better attention to public business
and prove more faithful public servants
The exposures of the new race of Con
gressmen that have been elected within
the last ten years has disguised the grea
mass of moral and intelligent citizens
The Credit Mobiler and the New Yorl
Custom House, together with the whiske,
frauds, and the sale ofmilitary posts, witt
numerous Indian agency and land agenc,
rascallties, i'll connection with the Presi
dental fraud, has been of such character
involving men in such high positions, eve
the Presidency itself, (and two Presi
dents,) that every hones5 man must fee
that Washington is little less than a Yer
sink of corruption and infamy. Thi
condition of affairs was brought abou
mainly under Grants administrations.
This condition of things must be chang
ed or the Republic cannot long exis
We make no charges as to the politics {
the men engaged in corrupt practice.
They must all be ferretted out and all e,
posed and better men put in their place
II the government is to remain such q

Oh, no, there IL no flaming heif'
Said the Universalist bell
Look up to heaven this holy day,
Attend this church and learn the way;
There are NO fircs, NO fends to blight
The hope within the heart that's right;
No hell, no hell! no hell! no hell!
Said the Universalist bell
Do we'll. do we'll, do we'll! do we'll!
Said the Unitarian bell;
Come here and cast aside your load,
And work your way along the road,
With faith in God aud faith in man,
And hope in Christ where hope began;
Do we'll, do WE'LL do we'll! do we'll.
Said the Unitarian bell.
Swell! swell. swell! swell! We waters, swell,
Exclaimed in peals the Baptist bell;
While faith in Christ alone can save,
Man must be plunged beneath the wave
To show the world unfsltering faith
In what the sacred Scripture saith;
Swell! swell! swell! swell ye waters, swell,
Exclaimed, in peals, the Baptist bell.
Farewell! farewell. base world, farewell.
Cried ont the Presby terrain bell;
Life is boon TO mortals given,
Aud there is nothing true but heaven;
Do not provoke the avenging md
Come here and learn the will Of God;
Farewell! fare we'll base world, farewell.
Cried ont the Prrsby terrain bell.
We tell the truth. We tell! we tell!
Shouted the Metbodistic bell
Our Lord has made salvation free,
None need he lost on land or sea;
Repent, believe, have hope, and then,
lie saved, and praise the Lord-Amen!
The truth We tell we tell! we tell.
Shouted the Methodistic bell.
Excel! excel! in love excel!
Chiued the Episcopalian bell;
This is the church--not built on sands
Emblem Of one not built with hands:
Its forms and rules and rights revere
And worship here--come worship here;
Excel in faith And works, excel!
Chimed the Episcopalian bell.
Look down, ye saints, in heaven that dwell
Shouted the Roman Catholic bell;
Lean DER the battleinents Of bliss,
And deign to bless world like this;
Let mortals kneel before this shrine,
Here is the water, here the wine;
Look down, We saints, in heaven that dwell
Exclaimed the Roman Catholic bell.

DIsagreeabIs Habits.

Nearly all the dissgreesble habits

from mere accident or want Of

dropped, but they are persisted 10
until they become second nature.
Stop and think before you allow
yourself to form them. There arc
disagreeable habits of body, like
scowiing, twisting the mouth, biting
the nails, continually picking at
something, twirling key or fdmb-
ling at chain, drumming with the
fingers, screwing and twisting .

hand on. Don't do any Of these
things. Learn to sit quietly, like
a-gentleman, WAS going to cay,
but am afraid even girls fall into
such tricks sometimes. There are
much worse habits than these, to be
surc; but We are only speaking Of
very little things that are only an
moving when they are persisted In.
