Lenoir, North Carolina, Aug. 3d.
To-day, two farmers, Galen Stout and
Columbus Mandring, went to the house
of Elkanah South and dared South to
come out, South, with drawn pistol,
went out on the steps. Stout then
struck him with rock. South in
stantiy discharged his revolver at
Stont, but missed him. He then
fired a second time, the ball taking
effect in the abdomen. Stout died
this evening. The murderer and
murdered were brothers in-law. Just
one yearand three days ago, Abram
Stout, brother of the murdered man,
was fatally stabbed in the abdomen by
South. -.

VIZ would just gently remark that,
there is no compulsion on any one to
subscribe for the UNION. We are now
publishing a paper for 81 SO per year
that is well worth 50 so; and we in,
tend, and shall, improve the UNION
still further. At the present price,
were every subscriber to pay us up
promptly in advance, <then we would
not make $50 a year-hardly what
would pay for three months board
on subscriptions alone; but then, we
do not propose to raise the price nor
diminish the size of the UNION.
The UNION has as good, if not
better, list Of subscribers as any
paper published in Sherburne, Isanti,
Crow Wing, Benton or Morrison; and
all we ask of our subscribers is that,
they do the fair thing by us and we
will give them a paper well worth
double the subscription price. But to
those who subscibe and never intend to
pay, they cannot stop their paper too
soon, but before doing so they should
pay us what they owe us.

ELSEWHERE we publish extracts
from the Isanti County Press and the

completely answers the former. We
have neither time nor space to COM
ment on the Press remarks, called
forth by paragraph in the UNION
two weeks ago, about the county au-
ditors all favoring Whitcombs renom-
ination. The majority Of the county
auditors are in mortal dread of incur
ring the great Il ANS displeasure,
hence their cringing and fawning, they
are not capable Of expressing an un-
biased opinion, and it is a notorious
fact that all of these auditors are can
didates for reelection, and ga fellow
feeling makes them wonderous kind -
We defy Whitoomb's most Jealous
friend to mention single county audi
torkin the state, who is not a candi-
date for reelection himself, that fav-
ors Whitcomb for another term9
There are others besides county audi
tors, who have had business relations
with State Auditor Whitcomb, ard
these ::others'' do not hesitate to pro-
nonnce him an arrogant, domineering
unfair man. If Whitcomb is noni-

The St. Louis Globe Democrat, one.
Of the best newspapers published in
the United bates, proposes that the
bogus generals, . ..colonels'' and :.n1a-
jors,'' s. ned $40. $40 and SIS ac-
cording their respective rank.
That paper thinks that if a lot of
jumed-up shoddities wish to sport
titles that they have never rightly
earned they should be willing to pay
something for that glorious privilege.
In Minnesota Hons and "Esq's'' are
getting too common; plain ssMr.'' is
all that's required, and even the s:Mr."
could be dispensed with. The follow
ing from the Sullivan Qll) Progress
expresses our ideas exactly:
s'In this democratic country, where
Smith is just as good as Jones, if both
behave themselves, and where one
mans voice at the ballot box counts
just as much as another's. it is all fol-
derol to talk of ''Hon:' so and so, or
his ''Excellency,'' Governor of this
State or that. This country knows
no royalty, and such weak limitations
in the way Of titles is shoddyism in the
extreme. If the people hire man to
work for them in the legislature of the
State or nation, does it make him any
better than the people he represents
Is it any reason that the records of
rulers and oppressors should be search
ed in order to find cheap title to
tack to his name? Let John Smith be
sent to Congress as plain John Smith;
and let him be sent there to work for
his constituency as a serving man
should work, and not to set himself up
as an honorable" who deems himself
on this side Of the water what Lord
Dogenhead is on the other side. There
are no lords in this country and none
are wanted. There are no rulers but
the people, and they should insist up-
on plain, homespun Government,
with no aping of royalty. Democracy
knows no leader; the people are be-
hind the Government, and it is their
right and duty to mold it with their
own hands. s

THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE MONOPOLY

| A bill has been introduced in the Senate by
Senator Richardson to repeal and amend GER
| tain provisions in the charter of the Crescent
| City Slaughter-House Company, regulating
| the inspection of meat and the licensing OF
slaughter-houses. The object of this bill is to
assert the right of the Legislature to change
certain sections Of what Is called the charter
Of this company, which has been claimed to
be an irrepealable and Interchangeable grant Of
a monopoly.
The bill embodies the single condition
which recommended the original charter Of
the Slaughter-House, to wit: that the slaugh-
tering OF cattle for our markets should be
done below the city But it does not limit
this right to the establishment belonging to
the monopoly corporation known as the Cres-
cent City Slaughter House Company To
pretend that the Legislature cannot pass
such bill; that 1t would violate the contract
with the Slaughter House Company, is a
monstrous heresy, which would involve the
surrender by the Legislature Of it's most i'm
portant right and function-that Of control
ling the health police OF the city.
There Is still the other right which 1t is at
tempted to barter away In this so-called
charter that of the untrammeled exercise Of
the occupation Of a large class Of our citi-
zens and the pursuit Of a legitimate trade
and industry. Under the present so-called
irrepealable charter, every butcher is COM
PEELED to keep his stock and conduct his bust
ness within the sacred precincts Of the house
belonging to this monopoly company. He
cannot have his own slaughter-house and do
his own butchering. He must rent the stalls
and pens Of this company and hire their
employees to do his work and their
carts to conduct his meat to market
ALI inspection must be done there
All meat slaughteredo and inspected else
where is subject to seizure and contiscation,
and for this use and privilege the butcher is
subjected to a tax of oyer one cent pound,
which is charged in the price of meat sold to
the consumers.
The oppressive character of this monopoly
has been long felt and complained Of by our
butchers and consumers Of meat. Their re-
sistance to the legal enforcement of this act
has nearly bankrupted the whole fraternity of
butchers In this city.
The courts have maintained the right and
constitutionaity Of this monopoly; but they
have never denied the right of the Legisla-
ture to repeal it. That right we regard as
beyond all question. We entertain no feeling
Of hostility toward the gentlemen controlling
this institution. On the contrary, many of
them are our personal friends. But we re-
gard it as a solemn duty Of our Legislature to
assert its right to repeal improper charters,
both in vindcation of its OWL authority and
sovereignty, and as a refutation of the charge
which has been made against it of insensi-
bility to the oppression OF the people by that
most dangerous Of all the foes of liberty and
equality-mcnopoly. o

The situation in Europe, rs 'eyinced by
clble information from the seat Of war, is
of . nature to inspire the ~liveliest interest.
Recent movements of English war vessels
indicate that the directors of her affairs have
finally become aroused to the conviction
that Russia is getting too firm a hold on
the strateglcal points within the defunct
Turkish empire, and Britain moves forward
to gam her share Of the spoils from the
general wreck. The protection of British
interests in the straits on either side Of the
sea of Marmora is the ostensible object
given out. Against this movement
Turkey protests, but Turkey is only nomi-
nal proprietor of those waters and seems to
be now occupying the position of mouth
piece for his late enemy. The two great
powers of the east, England and Russia,
are each determined to occupy CONSTANT
nople and should each carry out its inten-
tention a conflict seems inevitable.
Unless Austria should Join with England
the chancea of the latter in a war
with Russia for a final victory over that
power are not very t1attering. The Dardan-
Giles and the Bosphorus held by the cars
forces would shut off access to the Black sea
and the powerful British navy would have lit
tie opportunity to..make use ofits armament,
without the assistance of the Turkish feet,
now mostly in the Black sea. 1t seems,
though, that unless some hasty act precipi-
pilates a conflict the matter will yet be set
tied by peaceable means. Americas SYM
pathies in event ola war between the two
great powers would be largely with Russia.
We cannot forget the days of s61-'65 in
which We possessed Russia's friendship and
England's enmity. NF:&

WHAT the TREATY OF PARIS WAS.

The treaty Of Paris, which all the powers
interested in the proposed European con-
ference insist upon taking as the basis Of
soon after the Crimean war. 1t provided
for the maintenance of the status quo in
Asia and the retrOcession of Kars to Tur-
key, together with the restoration to Mol
davia Of that part Of BessatAbia bordering
on the mouth Of the Danube. The protec-
tonte of the Turkish principalities pre-
viously exercised by the czaf was turned
over to the great powers. The Black sea
was to be considered as a neutral water, and
neither Russia nor Turkey were to be
allowed to maintain any naval sta.
tons on its coasts, but either nation
might have six men-of.war OF $40
tons and four of 200 tons on the sea. The
signatory powers, England, France, Russia,
Austria, Prussia and Sardinia, the latter now
merged into the Italian kingdom, guaran-
teed the independence and integrity of the
Porte. Other stipulations provided for the
settlement of disputes between the Porte
and any Of the powers, by the other signers,
and a special treaty between England and
Austria bound those nations to especially
support the treaty. The great powers all
insist that the terms of this treaty must be
taken as the basis Of the peace negotiations
and must be adhered to in the coming con-
ference. Whether they will be or not re-
mains to be seen, as Russia appears in q
much better position to dictate her own
terms than she was when this treaty was
forced upon her.

serious consideration which might arise
from this, as hi. saw from the public prints
somewhere, and that vas the question If
the recognition of the state government of
Louisiana. In no act Of his had the preai-
dent been called ON to recognize officially
the government of the state of Louisians,
though he had removed the troops and left
the people of the state to govern themselves
under Governor Nichols. But in the we'll
known case of the state of Rhode Island,
which is most generally quoted in point Of
law as a parallel case. 1t was decided
during the Dorr rebellion that the act Q fthe
senate anu mouse Oh representatives In adj
hitting members to their bodies was means
whereby it was decided what was the exist.
ing and legal government of a state, and
this too controlled the executive. Now it
will be seen," said he, that the senate Of
the United States admitted Kellogg, and
thereby recognized the Kellogg Legislature,
while the Nichols government had been
allowed passively to remain nforce, though
there was no official act Of the executive
it. While he did not advance
any theory on this head, there was," he
said, fruitful food for reelection in it in de-
tetmining whether the present condition of
affairs might tend"
