THE FIRST DISTRICT.

4 Correspondent 1Fho Wants to See Cam
paiOm Made.
To the Editor of the Globe:
careful review of the situation in the
First Congressional district must certainly
encourage the Democracy here. At the last
election, 1876, the Republican candidate for
President had 2G,842 votes, but Mr.. Dun
nell had but 26,O1O votes: on the other hand
Mr.. Tilden had but 1880 votes, while Mr..
Stacy had l6,O64. In other words, Mr.
Dunn ell seems to have run behind his ticket
some S32 votes and Mr.. Stacy to have run
ahead of his ticket some 1854 votes, and
this too, Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
DunneL was the sitting member and aided
by the federal patronage of the district. In
his own county, Steele, Mr.. Dunnell had
fewer votes than were given for Mr.. HAYES,
while Mr.. Stacy in his county, Freedom, "a
strongly Republican county, received 1913
more votes than were given for Mr.. Tilden.
Looking still further back to the election
of 1874, an 'soff year" like the present, we
| find that Mr.. Dunnell's majority over Judge
Waite was less than 5000, though Mr.. Dun
nell made an active and thorough canvass of
the district, while Judge Waite made few, if
any, speeches.
In the campaign of 1876 Mr.. Stacy was
not able to go through the whole district,
and while there is hardly school house in
the district that has not been visited by Re
publican speakers, there are on the other side
whole counties in which Democratic speech
has never yet been made.
Mr.. Dunnell has not only had the aid of
well organized party, but the prestige of
possession (reputed to be nine-tenths of the
law so that the foregoing facts do not mani
fest great popularity.
In Mobiles and Rock counties there was
formerly but one party-the Republican,
but Mr. Bennett has rallied the latent Dem
ocracy of the former county, and in the lat
ter, since the last election, some colonies
have been formed which will speak out for
good government and Democracy.
would commend the foregoing facts to
the careful consideration of the Democrats
of the district. We have most excellent
platform and good cause with a popular
candidate and thorough canvass we can
win the battle. Yours truly,
Fl. F. SHEARMAN.

THE WRIGHT COUNTY TRAGEDY.

Death of VIM. Dunham--M Mrs. Townsend
Interviewed by Il "Cfobe" Reporter--She
is Nervous and Sorry Durham is Dead
Reports About Her Denied--Her Hus-
band Took Her for Better or Worse.
The intelligence having been received that
VIM. Durham had died in Wright county
from the result of injuries inflicted upon
him with an axe by Mrs. Townsend-now
confined in the Jail here--on the 22d inst, a
GLOBE reporter waited upon her yesterday
to ascertain what she had to say in the mat
ter. The news of Dunham's death had been
already impaired to Mrs. Townsend, who, as
was to be anticipated, was very nervous
over the fatal consequence of her assault.
In the course of conversation, however, she
became somewhat more assured, and said that
she had been cautioned by her attorney, G.
ID, O'Brien, Esq, to say nothing to the re-
porters, or to any one else, and would rath-
or obey his orders than speak about the
matter, but she felt extremely sorry that
Durham had died. She had hardly yet re-
allied the fact, and had hoped that he
might have lived, although he had done her
an outrageous wrong.
Reporter-Did Durham ever intimate to
your husband that there was criminal init
macy between you and him?
Mrs. Townsend-Yes, he did. That was
the matter that was talked about between me
and my husband on that Sunday by the
lake shore.
R.-Did he state the truth?
Mrs. T.-No, he did not. That was what
made me mad. That was what made me
crazy.
R.-It is limited that your record was not
clear before you married Townsend.
Mrs. Tt is true a great many things
were said, but before we were married, Mr.
townsend was aware of them. What was
said was untrue and before we were married
l said to him: ''Take nue., if you will, as I
am and with all they say about me, but what
is said is not true Surprising everything
had been as the people said, Mr.. Townsend
knew it all, and l talked it over with him be-
fore our marriage. 1t is too late for him to
plead that for an excuse, even if it was true
Further talk ensued relative to Mrs. Town
sends defense, in which she said she had no
present pecuniary means, but hoped to Sc
cure them from her relatives in Wright
county, who were entirely cognizant of her
whole history, and, with that statement, she
departed to her cell

SchLien.nn1,.
Dr.. schlieman is about to return to Greece

DR.. Schlieman is about to return to Greece
to begin excavations at new points. At the
last meeting of the French academy of In
scriptions and Belles-Leitres he read some
extracts from volume he is about to pub
lish in Paris on the Mycen@ discoveries. He
thinks the countries of antiquity in which
are to be found articles the most closely re-
sembling those of Mycenm are Babylonia
and Egypt. AS an example he mentioned
the pcrsonages wearing hemlet with two
horns and women of an Indian type wearing
loose trousers and turbans, which were to be
found at Mycene as on the brick cylinders
of the Babylonian empire. The idols with
cows heads found at Mycene, on the other
hand, remind one of the worship of Isis and
Apis, and indicate close relations with Egypt.
he differs from the general opinion that Ny
cenae was only conquered and destroyed by
the Argives ia 46S B. c., after the Medean
wars, and places the date much further back,
perhaps before the time of Homer, quoting
in support of his belief, lines fifty and fifty
six of the fourth book of the Ihad, where
such destruction is alluded to.
