a Murderous Vendetta.
VIRGINIA, Kane CO., I'LL, Nov. "a.
One of the most unprovoked
murders ever chronicled was COM
mitted Saturday at a farm some
ten miles north of this place. The
victims, two German brothers
named Eichenand,1 were husking
corn, when John N. and Robert
Taylor, also brothers, came along
on horseback, dismounted and, say
ing they were now going to settle a
feud which had existed between
the families, Immediately began
stabbing one brother, who fell with
n knife thrust through the lung;
they then turned upon the other
Eichenand, who, being unarmed,
attempted to escape. They caught
him, and plunging a knife into his
neck severed the jugular vein. One
brother died soon afierward, the
other was dying last night. The
murderers escaped and officers are
in pursuit.

NEW YORK, Nov 24.-The Herald
publishes host of extracts from
other papers on the Grant move
ment in the South. Most of the
Southern journals oppose the move
ment. The Herald thinks those
Democratic leaders in the South
who are looking toward Grant as
the deliverer of their section, are
merely foreshadowing their inten-
ton to join the Republican party
in the event of his nomination.
A newspaper correspondent met
Toombs at Atlanta recently and
asked him who would be the next
President. "Grant," he replied
promptly. "He will be the next
President and the last President"

the North, by the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, injected
