Crime seems to be rampant in the land
of late. A special dispatch to the st.
Louis Tlmes-Journal, dated Springfield,
Ills, June 25th, says that intelligence
had just reached that city from Boards
town, west of there, on the Ohio & MIS-
sissippi railroad that n OF a party of
tramps attacked VIM. Duckhardt, a cit
izen, knocking him down. In retreat
ing the tramp fired three shots at him
without effect. The party then fled.
Later the c., B. & Q. freight train No.
Z, gong north. had on board between
200 and 300 tramps, each having raised
a little money from harvesting. Between
Concord and A%renzville, south of Reards-
town, five desperadoes. said to have
hailed from Kansas City, with drawn
revolvers, went from Gar to car. and
robbed all the tramps on board. One
tramp refused to accede to their demands,
whereupon they searched him, cut his
throat with 4 razor and threw him from
the train. When the train reached
Arenzvllle the robbers divided their
spoils, about $500, and fled. Three
men, supposed to be accompllces. have
been arrested, and are now confined in
the Beardstown Jail.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER There is
to-day considerable difference of opir-
ion among democrats as to what course
should be taken IN the matter of the last
veto. received yesterday from the White
House. But it is a very amiable differ
ence, and l doubt not an arrangement
will soon be reached which will satisfy
nearly all democrats and be agreeable
to MI. Hayes. The concluding para
graph OF his veto message is a broad
offer to surrender everything except pay
for the deputy-marshals, and assurances
are as thick as autumn leaves that he
will enforce the law, if this be granted,
In the least offensive manner possible.
The significant language of the veto is
this: {" l have in my former message
on this subject expressed a willingness
to concur in suitable amendments for
the improvement of the election laws;
but l cannot consent to their absolute
and entire repeal, ard 1 cannot approve
legislation which seeks to prevent their
enforcement"
The promises cone not only from Mr..
Hayes but from the departments and
from prominent radical senator's and
representatives.
The furry which Immediately follow
ed the veto soon died away. and. as
stated above, the impression this morn
ing is that all difficulty will be removed,
another extra session avoided, and al
early adjournment be reached.
There are many rumors as to the
standing of cabinet members on the
veto question. 1t is, however, gener-
ally understood that Secretaries Evarts
and Schurz desired approval of the bill,
and that the former will take a more ac-
tive interest ir bringing about an agree
ment than b. has heretofore taken in
any affair net connected with his own
department.
That the inconsistent course of Mr..
Hayes, in regard to the appropriation
bills has h.d and will long have a dam
aging effect upon his party-upon the
republican party rather cannot be
doubted. He has done just enough to
further ALLEVIATE a portion of the party,
and %notenough to attract recruits.
The men who have worked up the
case against Senator Ingalls, now prom
ise tn. most astonishing developments.
IT hdt they say is true Mr.. Ingalls,
should now be IN a p%enitentiary instead
of tie senate.
One of the army paymasters yester-
day confirmed by the Senate was Geo.
R. Robinson, of Me-, who was in the
louise of Mr.. Seward and was severely
injured at the time the secretary was
attacked by Payne. Mr.. Robinson has
resided in this city since the war. He
will probably be put on the retired list
at IN early day. HILTON.

A Hint To Workingmen.

The honest workingmen of the country,
many of whom have large and increasing fam
lilies to support, have been the chief sufferers
from the great financial pressure under which
we have labored for the last few years. Di-
minlshed wages have not been attended by a
corresponding diminution in price of every
thing which the workingman needs. Reuts,
fuel, food and clothing arc cheaper, but these
do not constitute all his necessities. 1t is
sometimes necessary for him to employ law
yer or physician, yet the fee rates of ply
sicians and lawyers are as high as they were
In " flush" times. Yet cheap medicines are
as necessary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap
medicines are not necessarily poor medicines.
1t must be obvious to every intelligent person
that medicines, compounded and put up at
wholesale, can be sold at much lower rates
than when retailed from the doctors pill bags.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets have completely
restored persons who had spent hundreds of
dollars In vainly seeking relief from private
practitioners, and all at very slight expendi-
ture. III az g.
