REDUCTION OF PRICES TO SUIT HI
TINES.

The elections of 1877 over, to con-
gress will all eyes turn to witness IN
course of political events in America.
Questions of vital interest are press
ing for settlement, ana the discussion
bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of finance, pacifi-
cation, Internal improvements, civil
service reform, Indian and Mexican
border troubles, &C., are among those
which must largely occupy the publlc
mind. The proper development OF
the resources of The West and South,
by means of an~improved condition
of river and railroad transportation
tacilities-the utilization of ,unenI-
ployed labor in needed public works
the encouragement OF: immigration
to the fertile lands of the great
West. are matters of nation, a. well
as of local concern. Scarcely less inn
portant is the support of all meas
ures, by whomsoeyer originated, aid
ed .,r Endorsed, giving to the South
ern states a full and flee control of
their W affairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace! The
state legislatures. especially those to
elect United States senators. Will also
be invested with interest, as upon
them and the elections of 1873 will
deyolve the decision .as to whether
the reins of political power shall con-
tinue to be held by the Republican
party, the tenure of that power now
hanging by but a slender thread. j.
Upon these and kindred subjects
the Republican, which gives an earn
est advocacy to the principles otthe
constitutional Democracy will ALWAYS
be found battling in the ranks OF. the
thinking, working people ofthe West
and South. Aud whilst sparing no
effort to obtain and promuigate the
most reliable Information relative to
American politics, the Republican
will maintain its past reputation for
the collection of all important and
interesting news from all quarters of
the globe. Affairs in the Eastern
hemisphere, now occupying so much
attention, will not be omitted in the
design of making this paper a regular
chroniclei of the exciting inteili-
gence of the day; and whatever en-
terprise and lavish expenditure can
do will be employed to produce a

stantly killed by . bullet shot in the
left breast.
By his side, at the moment of the
assassination, was Carman, who pro-
fessed to be intensely shocked by the
bloody occurrence, and who called
upon Mr.. Crofts and the colored
torch-light bearers to search diligent-
~ for the cowardly perpetrators of
the crime.
For hours they secured the neigh
borhood withour finding any traces
to the murderer, and it was long sfter
midnight when they returned with
Longs inanimate body to Crofts'
house.
Mrs. Jennie Crofts gave vent to
loud and piteous lamentations. Car
man, however, had recovered his
usual tranquility. He said very little,
and at daybreak returned to his own
residence, promising to send in the
morning for the Sheriff of the parish,
who was also performing the duties of,
Coroner. He tried to sleep, but was
unable to find any rest. At eight
O'Clock some one knocked at the door
of his bedroom. 1t was Cujarros,
who sneaked in with the nolseless
tread of n cat.a
"Good morning, Mr.. Carman," he
said.
"Ah, you come for your two hun
dred dollars, Cujarros-"
"Two hundred dollars! exclaim-
ed the latter. "Why, Mr.. Carman,
you promised ms ten thousand dol
lars!"
Carman looked at him in blank as
constituent.
"Yon must he crazy, Cujarros," he
calculated.
"And beside" added Cujarros, II
want you to make me n present of
two hundred acres of your best
land"
"You insolent scoundrel!'' cried
Carman, who had turned livid with
rage.
Then he collared him, and dragged
the old william violently out of the
room.
On the veranda, Cujaurros Kissed
out:
"Look here, Mark Carnan, you are
more in my power than you think.
The bullet in the Pennsylvanian's
breast is n from Jour large rife. 1t
can lie easily recognized. 1 got the
bullet on purpose, last night. Now
beware OF met" =
A few more moments later he had
disappeared.
Mark Carman staggered back into
his room, where he acted IKE a mad
man.
He could not bring himselfto mako
advances to Cnjarros, who, on the
same day, had a long interview With
the Sheriff of the parish.
A few hours later Carman was ar
rested on a charge of murder.
His appearance created q profound
sensation. For nine weeks he remain
ed III close confinement.
Suddenly Cujarros, who was to be
the principal witness against him, and
who had offered to prove that no
other than Carman himself had fired
the murderous shot, died, after con-
Tossing that he himself was the muir
derer. s.
Carman was released, but every
body summed him, and he finally
committed suicide on the first ami
versary of Longs assassination. |
