The Fury Of q Woman Scorned.

A terrible tragedy in ballroom in Pickens
county, Ga, year ago, Is recalled to puplic
notice BY the recent capture of ths beautiful
murderess in North Carolina. The crime
sprang from the intense Jealousy of Kate
Southern, wife of few months of one Mar
cissa Conant, one of her husbands old flames.
AS Southern was taxing Miss Conant out upon
the floor at country dance, Kate came for
ward and forbade the couple to dance together;
but they disregarded her wishes and proceeded
with the cotillion. The slighted girl borrowed
jacknife of her father on pretext, approached
the couple and, without word Of warning,
plunged the blade deep into the bosom of her
hated rival. Another blow pierced the victims
stomach, but she was dead almost as soon as
she reached the floor. As the frantic murder
ess stood brandishing the bloody knife before
the paralyzed throng, the husband drew pis-
20, forced the crowd to give way, and taking
his vile by the arm the two passed out aud fled
away in the darkness Nothing more was seen
or heard OF them until few weeks ago when
II was learned that they were in North Caro-
lima, and officers started in pursuit After
many windipgs it was found that they were on
their way to Alabama, in company with South
ern's father and two brothers, and the pursnsrs
came up with them near Murphy. The party
got In their front and by an adroit surprise Sc
cured them as they were driving through the
woods, though they were armed and prepared
for desperate resistance. The mnrderess was
discovered in a covered wagon, ignorant of
danger with five months child at her breast.
Southern's father and brothers were released,
but the husband and wife, with their little
babe. were taken back to Georgia and all
but in one cell together. Kate still glo,ies in
her terrible crime and will be found guilty of
murder, and then the State will have the DELI

The record Of one year of President Hayes
ought to be criticised frankly and unsparing-
ly, and those are his best friends who tell
him the truth. Thus far his administration
is failure. 1t is doubtful whether he has
still the power to make it anything else. But

hend that the credit of the United States is
more important than collectorship in New

credit.-N. Y. Tribune.
The Illinois election next fall, will be an
unusually important one. Besides state
treasurer and judicial officers, nineteen con-
gressmen will be chosen and state senators
for four years in the odd districts and a full
House of three members to each OF the fiity-
three districts. Upon this Legislature will
devolye the duty next January Of choosing a
successor to United States Senator Oglesby.
The Democrats will open the campaign with
holding their state convention April IL, and
they are going to do their prettiest to get an
other Democrat in the United States Senate

there was no end of fraud attached to them,
but 1t was not of the kind wanted. The
party cannot afford to be mistaken again.

IT appears that Mr.. Reagan of Texas,
Postmaster General of the Confederacy, was
guilty of an incorrect statement when he
said that the Southern postmasters and mail
carriers were ordered by the Rebel govern
ment to account to the United States for the
public property they held. Mr.. Willetts of
Michigan, read in the House, Friday, ex-
tracts from the Confederate archives showing
that the carriers had been paid by the Con-
federate States for the very service for which
they now ask payment from the United
States. Reagan, who evidently thought
these archives destroyed, was so confused by
this exposure Of his bad dealings that he
could say nothing in defense. No wonder
the Democrats refuse to make an appropria-
tion for the printing of the records of the
war. If ever the Democracy gets control of
the government these Confederate archives
will be destroyed, for they endanger the sue
cessful prosecution of many Southern claims
upon the Treasury.

Ohio Democrat was congratulating bis party
over the Democratic majority in the popular

was an obvious one.
