SENATOR HAMPTON AND THE
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
Senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, IN his letter in response to an
invitation from coAmittce Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic to deliver
lecture III Pittsburg, Pa, writes as
follows:
Owing to the physical disability un-
der which | labor at present, [ have
been forced to decline all invitations to
deliver public addresses; but the invita-
ton GU extend is so cordial aud so
significant that l Shall try to make an
exception in its favor. Ii seems to me
that no surer mode to restore harmony
between the two sections Of the country
so lately cOntcndlng is arms can be
found than to bring the old soldiers OF
the two armies into friendly cansulta-
ton. Brave men are apt TO he goner.
Gus. and If those who once opposed
each other IN battle could now meet as
citizens OF a common country, actuatcd
by the desire Of restoring harmony anC
cultivatlnS peace among all classes, We
should soon see the bitter sectional .eel
Ing which politicians are fostering fol
their own selfish ends laid at rest for.
ever Your invitation has this end il
view, as understand it, and / shall
gladly cooperate with you in thii
laudable object. 1t sill not be N m,
power to deliver an address just now
but l shall be happy TO do so at SOM
future time which will suit you. l be.
you to expr ess to tie e y. K. my higI
appreciation Of the honor done me-"

Tragedy in Kentucky.

RICHMOND, KY, Dec. ia trag-
cdy occurred here to-day, which has
caused great excitement through all
classes of the community, as the par
ties are well known, one being a
prominent dry goods men and the 9th
er lawyer of eminenco and ability.
At half.past niue this morning Mr.
Il. +. Little was seen to pass into his
Office, and shortly after James IL.
Arnold followed him. In a few Minis
utes four pistol shots were heard in
quick succession, when Little was
seen falling from the door to the pave
mcnt. Arnold followed, aud was oh.
served with pistol still in his hand
and in the attitude of firing but wheth.
er he did fire or not after the fall is dis
puted. He Immediately walked across
to his storehouse ami there delivered
himself to an officer.
When Little fell several persons
rushed up ana lifted him into the
house. To them ho said, II am dy-
ing and make this dying declaration.
He shot me without cause or proves
cation [ never opened my mouth"
And with these words he died An
examination of his body showed four
wosn1s, any one Of which would have
proved fatal. One was in the neck,
second in the right breast, third
in the left breast, in the region of the
heart, and a fourth in the back. No
one was in the room at the time of the
shooting.
Arnold's statement is that he had
received letter about which he went
to see Little; that when he told him
of the letter aud was in the act OF
handling it to him Little rose from the
seat aud in an angry manner, said he
had other matters to settle with him
(Arnold) first, AMI called him thicf
aud scoundrel. Little then placed
his hand OH his pocket as if to draw a
pistol, when Arnold drew and contin-
ued to fire until Little was killed.
Tue two parties are brothrrs-in-law,
having married two daughters of Mrs.
Mary L. Hood, deceased, a lady OF
wealth and the daughter OF Major
Squire Turner, at the time of bis death
one of the largest property owners
and most distinguished lawyers IN
Kentucky.
Little was married in 1872 and Ar
nold in 1875. For TWO years they not
been on speaking terms. Last SUN
mer Mrs. Hood died, leaving 4 large
estate, which she b-queathcd'by will
to her two daughters a few weeks
since Arnold presented to Little note
with Mrs. Hoods signature for about
$3.50, the body OF the note in Ar
nold's handwriting, recitlng that i
was gwen in order to equalize the
shares of the children 10 her estate
1t is said that Little at once charg
cd that the instrument had been im-
properly obtained, and that he would
show at the proper time. This in
creased the bitterness between tho two
and for some time apprehensions have
expressed by the friends OF each par
ty that the trouble would END in per
sonal difficulty. As before stated, thu
parties are both men well known il
this community. Hon. r.. 4. Littl
was born III Florida, his father being
native of this place. He came her
when quite young, and he sioce live
in Richmond. lie was about 81 year
OF age. lie was lawyer.

FROM the Bed Of an Emperor
10 the Shadow of a Throne.

Grant slept on the bed ofan emperor
while IN Philadelphia. SO the Tribune
says, aud everybody believes.
1t is six months before Grant is 10 re-
ceive the formal nomination for the
third term, and theoretically for the en-
pire.
These six months Gen. Grant cannot
bear to spend in republic; so he goes
to Cuba, where his majesty in hope and
in prospect can bask in the shadow Of
the Spanish throne.
Three crowns are his coat of arms.
The bed ofan emperor was his couch in
Philadelphia. He has been absent from
our own free and glorious Republic two
years and seven months; and yet he
cannot stand it to remain as a private
citizen, on terms Of equality with all o.
US, until the Imperial Convention
meets to nominate him for a third term
and put him on the road to empire, but
he must 90 away to dwell under the
authority Of an emperor meanwhile.

GRANT LOSING GROUND IN OHIO.
"A Cincinnati dispatch says an effort
to obtain the present drift of republican
sentiment in Ohio with reference to
presidency discloses the fact that Sen.
Grant is losing strength as popular
candidate. Interviews with one hun
dred republicans in a representative
county IN the central part OF the State
show the following preferences: For
Sherman, sixty-three; for Grant, twenty
five for Blame, eight; scattering, four.
A canvass Of the same community at
the close OF the extra session would
have shown a preponderance of opinion
in favor of Grant. There Is, neyerthe-
less, feeling among republicans that
the candidacy Of Grant Is inevitable.

Seymour further expressed faith IN his
political convictions and the correct
ness of views held by the democratic
parry. He affirmed that he could not

or how it was idle for hlm to speculate.
An impression seems to prevail in
Utica that Mr.. Seymour would not
decline the nomination from the demo-
cratic national convention, provided
the nomination was rendered him UNI
animously. AT the same time ne could
not be induced TO become candidate IN
the ordinary acceptance OF The term.
