Yesterday morning at three
o'clock, one of our best citizens,
Geo. Schocnbcrgcr, was brutal
ly assassinatcd as lie emerged
from the front gate of his resi-
dence, onthe Mcridianyille pike,
one mile from the city. Three
large bullets pierced his body,
death ensuing instantly. Al
daylight the assassins were
tracked to the slaughter-house
of Mike White and arrested.
To-day, before the Coroners
jury, The prisoners, Ben. Ev-
ans, Ephraim Hall and Frank
Kelley confessed, and said that
Mike White, well-known
butcher, hired them to commit
the awful decd. White was ar
rested and committed to Jail.
All day the excitement has in
creased, and the best citizens
saw that the law would be dis
regarded by a mob that was
rapidly forming. Speech after
speech was made at the court

After 4 o'clock the mob started
on run for the Jail, cut the

Montgomery Blalr's Res
Olution

OiutlOu
Looking 10 the custer of
Hayes don't pan ont we'll in
Washington City. The old
man has abundant faith that his
scheme will work, but no one
else seriously thinks so. True,
there is a rnmor that bill has
been prepared looking to pro-
ceediags by quo acarranto to get
Tildcn into the Presidential of
fee. This bill, it is alleged,
will confer jurisdiction upon
the United States Supreme
Court to hear and decide the
controversy. If any member
Of Congress has such a bill, Or
contemplates preparing one, he
is keeping both his bill and him.
self we'll in the background. for
it will take a fnetooth comb to
scrapc up an honorable hgisla-
tor who seeks any such distinc-
ton. The general sentiment
Of the Democratic members Of
the Senate is that the Blair res
olution is absurd: that even If
the author, be he Tllden or
Blair, expected to unseat the
President, the manner of pro-
cedure under the Blair rcsoln-
ton would hardly be adopted by
those who believe that Tilden
should be the Executive Office.
"Why," said Southern Scna-
tor, "the question now is not
whether Hayes was elected
President or not. He might
confess judgment to not being
elected under the forms Of law
which the Constitution provides
for electine a President, ard
yet his title would be secure.
IF the title Of Hayes" he con-
ltinucd, "is to be contested, the
question Of fraud has nothing
to do with it. The question is,
Did Congress pass an uncon-
stitutional act in passing the
Electoral Bill? IF it did, Con-
gress and not Mr.. Hayes is 10
blame for his being in the Pres
idential office. If the law is
constitutional, then Congress is
bound to uphold his title, and
forever defend it, inasmuch as
he holds his Office under the
Electoral Bill, under an act of
Congress; and for Congress to
refuse to defend it would be to
insult its own intelligence, and
repudiatc its own acts" The
Democrats of the House take
no stock in the new scheme.
They affect to believe that Blair
has received more encourage
ment from. Republicans than
from Democrats. They have
no desire 10 reopen the Presi-
Dental question, and will
promptly discountenance any
movement looking to that end
which comes either from their
own or the Republican side Of
the House.

Senator Eaton will discuss to-
day the legality of the late ar
rest OF one Benz. Moves i'll this
city. The personal liberty Of
The citizen is in practice as lit
tic regarded in this country as
in any other country enjoying
the benefits OF civilization. The
enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness" is a
phrase we read Of in books and
listen to in political speeches.
The notable change in the prac-
ticc of the Government COM
menccd with the war, AID at the
close of the war the old order
of things should have been re-
stored. Probably Senator Ea-
ton will make an interesting and
able speech to-day, but one
speech is not enough. This is
one Of the subjects which Dem
ocratic Senators aud Represcn-
tatiyes should keep before Con-
gress until relief is had.
The question whether Noycs
is guilty Of crime as charged, or
not, is not in itself, Of vital inn
portance. But ii is Of the high
st Importance that the citizen
shall be absolutely secure in his
person and his property untilthe
Jaw operating through its usual
channels, takes away that secu-
rity. We do not need and we
ought not to tolerate, at such
times as these, the arbitrary ar
rests and Imprisonment of fif-
teen years ago. The "little
belr' of Secretary Steward is
not fit part of the machinery
of justice.
The House has not so far
passed an appropriation bill,
The amount of which has not
been increased in the Senate.
This is a fact it will be well to
remember.
eslerday the House Ways
and Means Committee voted, six
TO five, in favas of imposing a
tax on incomes. The details
of the measure arc not yet a

any legislation Of The kind can
he secured. In theory this tax
is the faircst in the world, but it
did not work well. 1t is like
competitive examinations" in
the scheme for civil service re-
form-beautiful to look at but
Of no practical value.
1t is believed the vote in the
House on the Pacific Railroads
fanding bill WILL be as decisive
.s that in the Senate, where
snore than two-thirds voted for it.

that at present he will make few

preston, and promises to be a

that Anderson or Packard will

dent says 1t is useless longer to
conceal the fact that the Republi.
cans are getting very tired OF
Hayes. II is conceded that his
course is sapping the lie and
wearing away the energy of the
Republican party. 1t is solemn
face to-day that in Washington a
majority of the Republican Sena-
ators and Representatives would
rather see Tilden in the White
House than Hayes. There are
but five or six Republican Sena-
tors (so-called) who sustain the
Administration, and there are not
twenty all told in the House, so
that in an emergency Hayes
would be almost utterly without
any support.

A few weeks ago. in order to provide q

moved W. c. PAINTER, receiver OF public

he had served the Government in that re-
mote corner Of the republic. and nobody
had over accused him Of stealing dollar or
Of neglecting duty. lie was removed with
out warning and without explanation, and
ALEXANDER REED has gone to take his place.
We learn from the walla Walla Cuisen
that tho following petition has been nd
dressed to Mr.. HAYES by the honest citizens
of the Mill Creek Valley:
"Tho undersigned. citizens Of Washington Territory,
rcposing trust and confidence In the faithfuness and
efficiency Of PArSrtR as receiver Of public moneys
In the United States District Land ONCE at Walla waa

removal from said ofce. aud believing him in every

Sound on Fraud, Not Unsound on Fi-
nance.

An effort will be made to show by the
Maine election that the Democrats arc less
sound on finance than the Republicans,
because a larger number Of Democrats than
" Republicans voted what was called the
Grccnback ticket. We are inclined TO doubt
whether this is tho correct Inference to
draw from the result in Maine. We do not
believe that most OF the persons who voted
the Grccnback ticket voted 1t with any
definite, fixed ideas on the subject OF finance.
II 1t had been called the whlteback ticket,
or the whltebait ticket they would have
voted 1t all the same. The time comes when
people get SO heartily sick OF the condition
OF things that they are willing TO take the
risk Of voting for anything that Is change,
for anything new, without waiting to ascer-
tain precisely what 1t is.
So 1t was in lslO, when the people sang
"we'l vote for Hanson. nsryae,
H,hoa u ehB or Wlsy,fge"
More Of Democrats than OF Republicans
abandoned their party allegiance because
the Democrats have been moro open In their
Abandonment OF all principle than the Re
publicans. Tho Republicans deny that
HAYES was put in by fraud. That keeps an
issue OF fact open In their favor. The
Democrats allege that his election was
ilagrantly fraudulent, and at the same time
profess to regard his title to tho Office as
sacred. On such an absurd and monstrous
platform as this no considerable party can be
held together for any length Of time IN the
United States.
This essential truth Is demonstrated by
the Maine election. We predict that it will
bo made apparent by elections in other
States.
There is only one safe course left open 10
the Democracy. Let them abandon their
blind leaders, and adopt no more unprinci-
Piled resolutions. A party tied TO the I'M
sound and immoral declaration that fraud
can be made sacred will rapidly shrink into
enthusiastically small proportions.
The meaning Of the Maine election as IL
seems to US, is rather that the people are
sound on fraud than that they are unsound
on finance.
