A New York dispatch says that
Carter II. Shupe, editor Of the Advo-
cate, and one Of the national green
back leaders, has filed . petition in
bankruptcy, showing liabilities at
$69, 528, 80; assets, st 1857. Since he
was thrown ont Of the National State
Convention at Syracuse, Shupe has
bad hard luck, both politically and
financially. This irredeemable Fiat
ist claims that his weekly Advocate
has attained circulation Of $4,000
copies. The subscription price is 25
cents copy per annum. The white
paper alone costs 4Oto 80 cents q year !;
the postage, which must be paid in
advance, about 10 cents. Then comes
the expense Of type-setting, proof
reading, press-work, mailing and ed
iting; and, in addition to al these,
rent, fuel, light, taxes, wear and tear.
The petition In bankruptcy shows the
result of publishing . Newspaper and
selling the issues Ct half what thew
cost for white paper and postage.

we're absurd enough to trust him, and

A COLD.BLOODED MURDER IN
TAMA COUNTY.
The Victim Shot Down in His
Tracks and Robbed.
The Assassin Escapes.

Marshall Times, 3Oth.
We are indebted to Judge Kline,
of Toledo, for the particulars of Q
most diab0lical murder in Tama
county, that occurred yesterday in
broad day light. The victim was a
Bohemian. who resides at Quarry,
and has been laborer there for sew
en- or eight years, by the name of NJ.
Straka. He owned some land in Ia
ma county, and went down there yes
terday to make a payment on it; he
was afoot aud when some IA miles
east of Toledo, and some three or four
from Chelsea, on an unirequented by
road, q man stepped out in front Of
him and deliberately shot him down,
using large revolver. The murder
or then rifled his pockets, taking $3.50
and escaped, leaving his pocketbook
and about 500 in money in 1t evil
IDENTIFY overlooked. This occurred
about the middle Of the forenoon,
and the poor victim lay there in the
road, conscious part OF the time and
dying until he was discovered by q
passer-by, about the middle of the
afternoon, when the alarm was given
and he kindly cared for. He related
all he knew of the affair, describing
the murderer as best he could and
fingered along in great agony, until
this morning, when he expired. The
whole country is aroused and in hot
pursuit ofthe villain; but with some
four hours the start, it will be doubt
full if they capture him, but if they
do, 80 great is the excitement, he will
be very apt to swing at the hands of

Roscoe ConklIng to the RepubiI-

From ho Maui ynrk rivnoa

At this point it was announced that
q letter had just been received from
Senator Conkling, which the Secreta-
~ was requested to read. 1t was az
follows:
Utica, Aug. %, 1873.
MY DEAR SIR: l have your note
saying q number of Republicans will
meet at Saratoga tomorrow to take
counsel together. This seems to me
wise and timely. The government
of the country IL. rapidly passing abso-
lutely into the hands OF those who SO
lately sought to destroy it, not stop
ping until they had filled the land
with woe, and burdened it with the
debt and taxes which now rest so
heavily upon US. This is not wise for
any section. Raids on the Treasury,
vast in amount, and without right or
honesty, are mastering for the time
when ssolid South" dominating the
Republican party, as it will and must,
shall again rule the two houses Of
Congress. Wild schemes ofrepudia-
ton, financial chaos, and revolution
find engagement on every hand, and
in most of the States the Democratic
party 10 being drawn into q whirl-
pool of fallaci0us, short-sighted theo-
ries. Equality before the law, and
political rights and liberty, which the
recent amendments to the Constitu-
ton. were ordained to establish, are
becoming only mockery through
out the South, and free elections are
not permitted in several States. New
York, as the greatest commercial
State, and by far the largest taxpayer
in the Union, has vast stake in these
things, and the one great reliance in
regard to them all is, believe, the
Republican party. Certainly, the time
is fit for Republicans of New York to
come together in earnest harmony,
ignoring personal and minor issues,
and joining heart and hand in one
high, just purpose to preserve the ma
tional security and honesty, and to
protect human rights. l should be
glad to meet you all as you propose,
but it seems better that l remain
away.
l see it charged that q "claim" to
be returned to the Senate has been set
up by me. You know, but all others
may not know, how far this is from
the truth. l know and feel that if
anyone has Claim on the Republic
can party, am not the man. The
"claim" is altogether the other way.
have been honored too much aud too
often not TO feel deep and abiding
sense of obligation to the party and
to its members, and q sincere regret
that have been no better able to de-
serve and repay their confidence. No
personal claim or individual interest
should ever seem to enter within
your conference. No mans will or
wish deserves to be balanced for a
moment against unity and success at q
time like this. Sincerely yours,
Roscoe CoNKLlNG.
