A farmer came into the city ye,ter.
day, at noon, inquiriug for Sheriff
Moon, and having found him, stated
that man named Cox had shot an
other named Miller, just over the line,
in Denton county, and had made good
his escape, Sheriff Moon toid him that
as the deed wNs committed IN Denton
countj, he shonld nave gone to the
sheriff Of that county for nid for the
arrest of the man The law OF the state,
under 9uuh- circumstances, would not
allow Sheriff Moon any remuneration
for his services or actual expenses, the
crime not having been perpetrated in
this county, The man stated that the
difficulty grew out of IN old feud be-
tween tae two, which terminated in
Miller being badly shot. He was still
alive at last accounts, though the
wound was considered rs dangerous.
The farmer returned to Denton to mo-
tiiy the sheriff of the affair.

There IS considerable activity displayed
by the westernD Democratic press in hunting
uD the reasons of ttIela derailmentsGf the
Demo party in those States: The fact
that it is off the trick admitteds.---T1e..
mishap is.attributed to The. use OF money. IL
is said the Radicals bud a good deal more
money thanthe other side, and usedisireely.
That is always the case.
The Enquirer's Washington correspond
emit charges that Taden was at the bottom
Of it, to kill of Senator Thurman as presl-
dental candidate. But Tilden has bis
hands very full Just now-has lost his own
State, and his far-iamed barrel of money Is
said to be empty.
It is alleged, no doubt with truth, that
while the Greenbackers made no lnroads on,
the Radical vote, they drew heavily on the
Democratic voters; and, on the other hand,
good many hard-money Democrats voted,
with the Repu blicans. Probably there IS
some truth in this. The Greenbackers gem
orally Will slaughter the object they desire
to secure, so far as it Is a. reasonable and
patriotic one--that is to say, the securing OF
a paper currency, for which ohr national
faith shall be pledged, as against the issues
Of thousands Of private and local-currency
mills. 80 "
The Ohio Democrats say that, counting
the Greenbacker and Democratic vote to-
getber, they have majority OF twenty TO
| twenty five thousand. But they can't count
it together. II was poled separately and
polled in mutual antagonism. II there was
any common object to be secured by their
diverse votes, they killed it and turned Ohio
over to harder money and sterner financial
! policy.
In short, the hobby-horse OF the Green
hacker carried an ass on his back and
dropped under the burden. 1t will never
take the track again. Macon (Ga) iete-

IN the Editors of the Dispatch:

In your paper OF this morning is an artl-
Gle which, but for its kind though unnerlt-
ell compliments. l should not hesitate to
regard as intended for me. Ny hesitation
is relieved by the belief that the compli-
ments are but the outfiowing OF the kindly
feelings which have hitherto always charac-
terized, and which hope will ever continue
TO characterize, our personal relations.
It is the first time in my life that have
ever known myself regarded as 8. Uisiona-
ry." I had thought that was regarded
rather as a plain, matter-of-fact man. Ii VI
sionary on the subject upon which we now
differ, / can plead in paliation high authority
and good company-to wit, john Z. Cal
houn and r. NJ. 7. Hunter. nH
AS to my "logic," it i[becomes ME to
speak. Which or us is the more visionary
OF more illogical leave to others and to
time to decide, simply suggesting, in all
courtesy, that I can conceive few things
more visionary than the belief that no mo-
ney is .sgood and honest" money that is

Mr. Hendricks.

It is reported that "Senator MCDONALD
III Indiana. is sure the result in that state
places HENDRICKS foremost amoag the
Democratic candidates for the presidency
in 1880, because it shows Indiana to be the
.only reliable Democratic State in the
Northwest He thinks HENDRICKS Is not
SO extreme on the financial question at pre-
sent as the eastern Democrats are, since his
platform IS national currency convertible
into coin."
MIR. MCDONALD is 4 true Democrat ano
nm able man. He is an open and aVoweo
friend OF sound currency, and would MIN.
sell be capital candidate for President
Bnt both the Indiana Senators
and McDoNALD-seem to be devoted to MI.
HENDRICKS, though they differ somewhat IN
their financial theories. 1t is high COM
pJimenr TO Mr.. HENDRICKS that such men
should be so warmly interested in favor OF
his candidacy.
We are gratifed to have Mr.. McDoNALD's
ayouchment for Mr. HENDRICKS as the adj
yocate OF n escurrency convertible into
coin., Undoubtedly Mr.: HENDRICKS pro-
misses to be formidable rival Of Mr.. THUR
MANS, who takes the same position on the
currency question, and his friends claim
that as Indiana voted the Democratic ticket
last week whist Ohio voted the Republican
ticket, Mr.. HENDRICKS ought at once to be
set ahead OF the distinguished Ohio Sena-
tor, since it would be unwise and impolitlc
to nominate for President man who could
not carry his own State. Mr.. HENDRICKS
has also fallen heir to whatever OF political
capital there, may be, in the alleged cheat
ing OF the Democratic party out oithe pres
iaency in 1876, TILDEN being, as re said
Yesterday, dead and condemned alike by
former friend and former foe. Mr.. HEN
DR1cKs, we repeat, promises to be tormt'
dable rival OF Mr.. THURMAN's, and will 60
into the National Convention with an i'm
mense following, unless indeed, as we do
not anticipate, the Democratic party should
be foolish enough to take to imitation doc
trines, and drop both HENDRICKS and THUR
MAN to take up Greenbacker. In that case
the Democratic nomination would not be
worth much to anybody. 1t is settled that
no fiat-money lunatic will ever be President
OF the United States.

The telegram in yesterdays Dispatch,
stating that elections for congressman
would again be held in Iowa in November,
is most likely true. We knew that num-
Der OF people in that State contemplated a
second election. Two elections were held
in two OF the West Virginia districts four
wears ago. The House seated those persons
last elected.
An act OF Congress provides that the
members OF the House Of Representatives
shall be elected on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. Several States
were excepted by special laws from the op'
Grafton of that act; but we do not know
that Iowa was one Of them.
