HON. JAMES WILLIAMS will accept our
thanks for valuable public documents. We
ack nowledgs our self under obligations to
him also, for personal attentions during onr
recent visit to the Capitol. Delaware has
reason to be proud of her delegation in
Congress. Her Senators take rank with
TIE leading statesmen of the country, and
no State can boast Of more vigilant and
judicious Representative, and, withai, 6
more genial companion and courteous gen

A couple Of bull-dozers have had some-
thing like adequate justice metsd out to
them at Winton, North Carolina. As
these particular bulldozers were very ag-
gravatsd specimens of the genus bulldoser,
their conviction and sentence 10 imprissn'
ment for six years in the Penitentiary,
because they assaulted, with intent to kill
citizen who voted for candidate of the
party with which the two bulldozers in
question did not affiliate, is q matter for
very sincere congratulation. II would be
possible for our congratulatory feelings to
have a keenness which they now do not
have, were the assaulted citizen Republl-
can as we'll as negro, and the bulldozera
white men and Democrats. 1t 80 happens,
however, that the assaulted individual is
colored man, and that his offense was vot-
| ing the Democratic ticket. HIS asssilasts
were a couple of negroes Of Republican
proclivities, who undertook to discipline
him for voting contrary to what they re-
garded as their interests. In view OF the
facts that all the parties to this bulldozing
transaction were citizens of African des-
cent, the conviction and sentence Of the
1.-TWO Republican bulldozers cannot, unfor'
tunately, be regarded as an evidence Of an
intense desire on the part of North Caro-
lima courts and juries to punish with pro
per severity bulldszing by whomsoever
committed. The conviction and sentence
of these two colored Republicans is, how
ever, an Interesting exposition of the i'm.
portant fact that all the bulldozing in the
Southern States is not done BY white
Democrats.-Pbila. Evening Telegraph

And love, like the spring time, soon passeth

The swallows wing is light,
And woman's love Is warm as fine sum-

And the swallow wing his flight,

a village doctor. For long time she
kept her Lyme lover in state Of uncer-
tainty, in the hope that she might draw
out proposal from his proiessed rival.
After some months of this dallying Mr..
Griswold determined to have the matter
settled, and So one day rode to town, en-
tered her house, and once more rendered
heart and hand.
"Oh. Mr.. Griswold, you must give me
more time, said the LADY.

TIE horror of the Guetig McHugh murder
had not yet been dissipated when this
community was shocked by the discovery
of a crime as much more atrocious
as The former tragedy was worse than ordi
nary violations o the law. This afternoon
Marshall l.. Palmer, farmer living west o
this city, while walking along the banks
of a creek near his house, was as
sailed by terrible stencil. A
search for the source discovered the naked
bodies of a woman and child, the latter only
day or two old, who had been
cruelty murdered. Extraordinary efforts
were made to hide the crime.
Neither body had a stitch of cloth
ing on, and they were buried in a hollow
covered by an immense log, the whole lying
in the midst o thick underbrush.
Several persons must have been engaged in
the work of preparing the hiding
place. There was a hole in the woman s
head sufficient to have caused death, but
whether other violence was used could not be
determined owing to the advanced state OF
decompositio of the bodies. They had evi
DENLY been buried for two weeks.
A more horrible sight than they presented
it would be diff cult if not3 impossible &c
imagine. The bodies were brought to the
city and an inquest begun. Nothing
tending to clear up the mystery has
been discovered, but the officers are making
every effort to investigate It. This is the
most horrible crime recorded in the anraTs
of Indianapolis, and vigorous measures will
be taken TO ferret ont the guilty parties.

Loves Burial.

Loves BufEAfs
Thou hast passed from life, and thou knowest
it not;
The light is quenched in thine eyes, wot;
Thy rose-red mouth, it is wan and sere,
And thou art dead, my poor dear!
One summer night, myself | saw
Thee laid in earth with shuddering awe;
The nightingales fiuttered low dirge-like lays
And the stars came out on thy bier to gaze.
AS the morning train through the wood
defiles,
Their litany peals up the branehirg aisles;
The pine trees, in funeral mantles dressed
Moan prayers for the soul that is gone to rest.
And as by the noun tain tara we wound,
The elves were dancing a fairy round;
They stopped, and they seemed, though start
led thus,
With looks of pity to gaze at US.
And when we came to thy lone earth bed,
The moon came down from the heaven DER
head.
She spoke of the lost one, A sob, stoundi
And the bells in the PARKWAY distance sound.
