7HEF IRST ANNIVERSARY OFTHE
GREAT CRIME.

Many Democratic dailies have been
reminding their readers and the public,
that one year ago on the 18th inst, man
was inaugurated as President Of the Uni
ted States whom the people defeated at
the polls by popular majority of l57-
394, as well as by decided majority of
the Presidential Electors. He was really
not inaugurated till the 9th, the 4th be.
ing Sunday, although he took the oath
of Office the day before, 1t was emphat-
ically Presidential steal And it was
engaged in for that purpose by unprinci-
pied Republican leaders. 1t is now an
undeniable and acknowledged fact,
known of all men,
Some persons advise against referring
to the villainy, as it is a thing Of the
past, and an actual Consummation, one
that cannot be undone. But in our view
a national infamy and shame such as this
is should be kept alive and. fresh in the
public mind. Some of the men who
planned and perpetrated the villainy are
in power, entrusted with the great desti.
nies Of this country. Can any good come
out of this NAZARETH Will knaves in
Office, full of the spirit of evil, perform
good works for good and suffering peo-
pie? Nay, verify, The evil results from
this great crime are already manifest. 1t
is likely to prove the destruction of the
Republican party; indeed we may say
has so proved. Their fraudulent Presi-
dent has very little following, even in
his own party, The members of Con.
gress in both branches are generally hos.
tile to him and his policy and through.
out the country Mr., Hayes does not COM
mand the confidence of the honest rank
and file Republicans. This Presidential
bauble has proved to them

The clock strikes one, and Sam. Tilden
lives, is honored and happy, no stain on
his escutcheon. He would rather be
right than be President. He would not
swerve from the path of honesty to OBJ.
tain the position to which the People
had elected him. and which he should
have held the past year. But how is it
with Mr.. Hayes? Is he happy in the
enjoyment of his fraudulent prize? Are
the agents in the perpetration of the
fraud happy? Judge Strong, one Of the
Electoral Commission, has admitted in a
letter that Mr.. Hayes's title rested on a
mere technicality One of the officials in
the Louisiana cheat has been convicted of
forgery, and sentenced to two years in the
Penitentiary. And according to the N.
Y. Times and N. Y. Tribune, Mr.. Hayes
himself, the recipient of the fraud, is
isolated, friendless and powerless. Is
not honesty the best policy?

The Canton Democrat well says; "Dai-
ly newspapers are well enough in their
way, even in smaller towns and cities,
but no daily paper can ever take that
place in the family and at the freside
which is accredited to the we'll digested
weekly paper" Ma8sillOn american.
Much more might be said on the SUBJ
ject. Most people hereabouts have nei-
ther time nor opportunity to take and
read daily paper. One or two weekly
papers is all they can afford, and indeed
all they neeG. There is nothing inviting
to a sensible editor and publisher in our
smaller towns to issue daily. The
drudgery and expense are surely not in.
viting nor desirable. 1t is an easy mat
ter to sink money in a daily. Some vain
men do think, though, 1t gives them
great importance.

TORNADO IN KENT UCKY-A MUM.
BER OF PERSONS KILLED.

Louisville, KY, March A terrible
tornado, with a width of 400 yards swept
through Casey county between the
hours Of . and 3 Saturday afternoon, do
ing frightful damage in the neighbore
hood Of Rich Hill and Mt. Olive. The
whole family of Vincent Wesley, near
Rich Hill consisting of himself, wife, two
grown daughters and a boy oynamed Sloan,
nephew, and William Taylor, neigh
Dor stopping at his house, were killed
outright. Another man named RichardN
son had his shoulder and collar bone
frightfully crushed. Mrs. Westey's body
was blown 400 yards. Her clothing was
entirely stripped off. The two daughters
were carried fifty yards and were found
locked in each others arms. The father
and nephew were fearfully mangled, and
all must have been killed by the first
force of the tempest. The dwelling stables
and outhouses were blown entirely away,
the logs being scattered for many yards
along the sweep of the tornado, and the
hearth and foundation stones blown from
their place, In the vicinity of Mount Oh
i've, Mrs. Morgan. wife of John w. Nor
gan, was killed and the dwelling and
outhouses of F. Floyd were completely
swept away and the timbers scattered in
every direction. In the village of Mount
Olive several houses were swept away
and the remainder otherwise injured.
Fences were blown away along the whole
course ofthe torrado,posts and rail fences
being drawn out and torn into splinters
and utterly destroyed. Large trees were
torn from their roots and carried huns
dreds ofyards. A considerable number
Of horses, cattle and other stock. and
nearly all the poultry in its course were
killed. The probable damage is not less
than $4,000.

A MYS1FR UNRAVELED,
Capture Of the Murderers Of Mccormick at Mt,
Vernon In 1875.

capture OF the murderers OF Mccormick at Mt.
Vernon in 1875.
Mt. Vernon, March Sit is now
thought the mystery of the Mccormick
murder, which occurred in this city on
the night of the 5th of February, 1875,
has been substantially unraveled; at
least it is certain that indictments have
been found against John Radd and
George Mckay as principals in the rob>
berry and murder, and George Andrus, a
freight conductor on the Cleveland, Mt.
Vernon & Columbus Railroad, as an ac-
cessory. The proof is said to be over
whelming and conclusive as to the guilt
of all the parties. The murder was one
of the most heinous and villainous ever
perpetrated in this or any other commu>
nifty. An old man, alone and unattend>
ed, in the pursuit of his lawful business,
is set upon by two assassins in the silent
hours Of the night, and after beating out
his brains with hammer they proceed
to rifle his pockets and leave his bleed
ing and disfgured corpse to freeze in its
own life blood. The whole deed is now
known, and the parties who did the
bloody work are safely within the clutch
es of the officers of the law. Our comN
munity is greatly excited, and it would
take but little urging to have an outraged
people vindicate their own wrongs. To
Defective L. Muncie, of Cleveland, and
Clark Irvine, Prosecuting Attorney of
this county, is the credit due of unearth-
ing this mystery and bringing the cul-
prits before the bar of Justice. The mur-
der was committed about three years

plain the same? This was before the
Democrats got into power. While in
this line let them point out the law, if
they can, which authorized the then
County Commissioners to take from the
County Treasury some seven thousand
dollars to pay for that terrible costly
ditch. l invite Spike, Pike, Spear, Pick.

The Ditch business, Mr.. Editor, was

While getting into the boat, Boatswain
Frederick Rickard fell overheard and
