(From Hillsboro News, Nov 27th.y
Our venerable townsman, DR.. R. D.
Lilley, SEM, died this morning, (Tues-
day. He was just 70 years Of age, and
was one OF the Oldest residents Of our
county.
Mayor Beeson's court was occupied
on Monday with another shooting
scrape, which occurred last Thursday
night, on the cemetery road, about four
miles northeast of town, in which Amos
Hickman, a cOlored man, was shot in
the face, eve and shoulder, putting out
his eye, and VIM. Hickman, his brother,
was shot in the face and side. Thos,
and Monroe Blair, two colored men,
brothers-in-law of the Rickmans, were
arrested for the crime, charged with
shooting with intent to kill. The story
that the Rickmans told on the witness
stand is substantially as follows: Amos
and VIM. Hickman live in the same
house, and after they had retired Thurs
day night, they were awakened by
some one throwing stones at the house.
They both got up and went to the door,
when two men, who were only thirty
steps distant, commenced firing at them
with shot-guns. Three shots were
fired, and the first and second shots
struck Amos, and the third shot, VIM.
Hickman.
One of the most peculiar cases that
we have ever been called on to record
in our brief journalistic experience,
occurred aboutthree miles north oftown
lastsunday night, on the Leesburg pike.
The affair is shrouded in mystery,
which is dificultto explain. About
l01% O'Clock Sunday night Samuel
Shook came rushing to town, inquiring
for the police, to whom he told pitt
full tale. He said he was married only
last Thursday to young girl about II
years old, named Mccormick, who
lived near Leesburg, and that they were
staying for few days at his brother
James Shocks, who lives about three
miles north of town. About 9 o'clock
Sunday night, he says James Caniff and
Ed. Dunn, two young men who work
at lime-kiln near Leesburg, came to
his brothers. and asked him if they
could talk to his wife few moments.
They were both well acquainted with
both Shook and his wife, and the form
er readily gave his consent. He says
they took his wife aside, and talked to
her few moments in an undertOne, and
finally he heard them tell her to "get
her things on" He then inquired
what was the matter, and the men re-
piled they were going to fake his wife
away, and both drew revolvers and
warned him not to make any fuss or
they would shoot him. Jas. Shook be-
came greatly enraged and got his shot
gun and wanted to do some shooting,
but his wife got the gun away from
him, while Samuel stood and sucked
his thumb, and allowed the two men to
take his wife away from the house and
drive her away in a buggy.

| a greater and more patriotic truth
was never announced in so pointed and
concise manner as in the following ex-
tract from speech of Senator Wallace,
of Pennsylvania, to an audience in his
State which he was addressing upon the
politics of the day. He presented the
evils of the sectional issues raised by the
Republicans in the following terms,
which are so plain that he who runs may
read and understand:
How are we to insure q market for
what we produce in the future? Can we
do it by causing divisions among our
own people, and by arraying one section
of the country against another, by
Haunting the bloody shirt and crying
down with the Confederate Brigadier?'
Or shall we recognize the fact that the
actual market for our manufactures Is in
the South, and aid to restore our own
market by restoring unity, peace, and
good government throughout the whole
country? The only security for con-
tinuance Of the period of prosperity now
about breaking upon our Pennsylvania
Industries is to be found in restoring the
whole country to the condition of one
prosperous and united people. We of
Pennsylvania are more interested in this
question than any other section of the
republic, for we are the workshop Of the
republic. The true protection for Penn
sylvania's industries Is in the restoration
Of peace and good fellowship to ALL"

WHAT BLooDHoUNDs CAN DO.

Some two weeks ago Mr.. John Thomas
Butler, of Hamburg, s. c. carried pack
of bloodhounds to New York and a'ne-
gro for them to chase in Central Park, for
the purpose of exhibiting the powers OF
his dogs, which he did very much to the
interest of large crowds of spectators.on
several occasions. This trivial matter
was, however, too good an opportunity
to let slip, and tho stalwart Republican
press has been heralding it abroad with
the startling news that there are hounds
ofthis character in every neighborhood
through the South, and that the poor ne
Rroes are chased and torn by them at the
mercy and caprice Of the lawless whites.
Strange as it may seem, it is said that
this has received the credence OF many
intelligent persons, whose common sense,
ifthey have no more immediate informa-
tion; should have taught them that 1t is
miserable political falsehood. AS a
matter of fact, these dogs would be
as. much a matter of wonder and Curl
esity In Anderson as they were in Gem
tral Park, for there is.not q bloodhound
insAnderspn County, nor in the upper
part of the State, that we know or have
heard of. The freak which induced Mr..
Butler to- go to New York Immediately
before the elections for; tho purpose OF
making this exhibition, indicates to our
mind that he has been made the dupe OF
apoltical intrigue. BE was paid to go
to New York, and since hise exhibition OF
his dogs he has been offered $3.50 per
night to go with troupe playing 'sUncle
Toms CABIN for the purpose Of intro
ducing his dogs In one of the scenes. It
is, threfore, panning out well for Mr.. John
Thomas. Butler, although he is giving
rise to very great and injurious misrep-
resentatiops of his section Of the Union.
He is no doubtdsatisfed, but the people
ofthe State and of the Democratic party
VIII probably feel like Mr.. Buffers prop
erplace Is at home.

The killing off of Western candidates
for the Presidency has brought the race
down to contest between Tilden, Han
cock and Bayard in the Democratic par
ty, with about even chances from present
appearances. IF the Ohio defeat will
have the effect of securing the nomina-
ton Of Senator Bayard we will not be
very sorry that it occurred, for We be-
lieve that he will be elected he secures
the nomination, and he would make the
greatest and best President tho govern
ment has had since the day of Jefferson.
A gentleman, o statesman, a patriot, q
citizen without reproach, he would poll
tho vote ofhis own party, and of the more
respectable element Of the Republican
party. Simple in his manner, candid in
his life, consistent and pure in his long
political careor, he presents character
that would rally around him the enthu-
siasm of tho true sons of liberty in
America, and secure his triumphant cleo
ton. The party would not be called on
to explain his course or to apologize for
his actions. The finger Of suspicion
could not rest on him in anything. Els
life has been above secrecy. He has no
plots,- no spoculations, no combinations
to fetter or embsrrass him, and there is
no man tho Republicans can nominate
who can begin to compare with him in
integrity of character or in consistency
of record. If there is any discretion and
foresight left in tho Democratic party,
Bayard is the coming man. He is stron-
ger in New York than Mr.. Tilden, and
can carry New Jersey and Connecticut
with perhaps one or two othor Northern
States. The South would support him
cheerfully, and if any Western States can
be carried he is the man who can do it.
Iftho people can force the politicians back
and exercise their will, Senator Bayard
will be our next President.

THE Yorktown Centennial.
PHILADELPHIA. October

d. PHILADELPHIA, OctoOer 1S.
The assembly Of Governors, to arrange
| the details of the centennial anniversary
of the surrender of the English army al
Yorktown, met for organization this
morning. Governors Anderson Of Con-
necticnt, Holiday of Virginia, .Royt OF
Pennsylvania, Simpson Of South Carroll
ma, Hall of Delaware, Carroll of Mary
land, and Col. Lincoln, representing
Governor Talbot of Massachusetts, were
present. The address of welcome was
responded to by Governor Andrews OF
Connecticut. Governor Holiday, of Vir-
ginia, was chosen president ofthe meeting,
aud Col. Lincoln secretary. The meet
ing then adjourned to Independence
Hall.
Upon assembling in Independence
Hall, Mayor Stockely addressed the
Governors, welcoming them to the city.
Governor Carroll, Of Maryland replied.
Governor Hoyt then extended welcome
in behalf of the State, to which
Governor Holiday responded in brill
liant speech, frequently interrupted by
applause. Governors Hall, Jarvis and
Simpson, and Col. Lincoln, all spoke in
grateful terms Of the reception they had
received and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that the success of the Yorktown
celebration would have powerful ten
dency to bring about unity of thought
and. feeling between the North and
South. +
Governors Hoyt, Simpson and Holli-
day were appointed g. committee on reso-
lutions, and the first named reported the
following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Governors and
representatives of the original Colonies,
- nd all In,
adelphia, this 18th day of October, 1879,
knowing that the purpose for which we
have assembled meets the hearty appro-
baton Of our constituents, do hereby
commend to the people of the United
States such celebration Of the Centenni-
al anniversary oftho surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown as shall beft the his
torical significance of that event and the
present greatness of the nation.
Resolved, That committee Of one from
each State, to be nominated by the Gov
ernors thereof, of which committee Gov
ernor Holiday shall be chairman, be ap-
pointed to make proper arrangements for
such celebration.

people of the various States, forgetfulness
of the past, and unity and harmony on

repeated applause, lasting fully fifteen
minutes. His sentiments of good will

cited the warmest feeling of tho people
generally, and congratulations have
poured in upon him from all parties.

rnE DEMO CRATIC SITUATION.

New York is now the pivotal State In
politics, and we are very much inclined
to predict that as New York "goes so
goes tho Union.'' '1itshould 60 Reppb-
iican. then the stalwart candidate will be
the. next President. but II the result is
favorable to the Democrats, then we have
decidedly the better of the two chances
for theiPresidency. In the campaign OF
1876 we lost South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, or 10 votes from the South,
switch we are sure to get In the next can
yass, so that we will have 1Ss Southern
votes for the Democratic President,
which leaves us only AZ more to get In
the North. and West. IF we carry New
York we have IS, and may couht with
reasonable certainty upon from New
Jersey, 0 from Connecticut and Is from
Indiana, which would be 20S out 1853, or
1s more votes than enough to elect, 80
that we may even lose. New jersey and
Connecticut and still elect the President,
or, carrying them, we may lose Indiana
and succeed. The loss of Ohio, therefore,
is not SO crushing to Democratic pros
poets as the Republicans pretend. The
only point gained really by the Republi-
cans In carrying Ohio Is to omake itneces-
sary for us to carry New York, which
would not have been indispensable If we
had carried Ohio. In other words, the
Republicans in carrying Ohio have only
held their own in the electoral college.
They have not gained anything more to-
wards electing their President than they
had in 1876. This will, make the contest
closet New York, and the eyes Of all
politicians will, rest intently upon the
Empire State until after the 4th of No
yember, for the election of Robinson
means the success of the Democracy next
year, while the election,o of Cornell means
another triumph for. the Republicans.
Things arc too much mixed at present to
make any predictions, but we are afraid
to hope for victory. The Kelly split Is
formidable and danger Gus one, which
may work us disaster, but at the same
time there are disagreements in the Re
publican ranks, which may prove equally
detrimental. Another fortnight will re-
veal great deal Of what the future poll
tics of the country will be.

tial race will scarcely be interesting at
all to the Democrats next next year.
The campaign in Ohio was hard fought
and well considered. The defeat will, to
a certain extent, demoralize the Democ-
racy, and unless this generalization is
more, than compensated by prudence and
saeacity on the part'of the Democratic
party, We may consider the campaign of
next wear as lost in advance of the fight.

THE LESSON IN OHIO.

Our dispatches last week reported the
result off the election in Ohio substantial
w correct. The official count has not
vet been announced, but enough is
known to fix Fosters majority over
Ewing at from 1900 to. 10000, and to
render it certain that the Republicans
have carried both branches of the Legis-
lature, with a good majority on joint bal
lot. This election Is very important in
its future political significance, and, un-
fortunately for us, that significance is un-
favorable to the Democratic party. That
the State would go Republican all well
informed persons expected, but those
whose sympathy led them to look for the
best for tho Democracy hoped the ma
,ority would be small, which would have
kept the State of Ohio in Doubt in the
Presidential canvass next year. The Re-
publicans have, however, increased their
majority to about four times what it was
In the last Presidential election, and the
State may now be counted as surely Re-
publican next year as either Vermont or
iowa. 1t has also retired the acknowl-
edged leader of tho Democratic party in
the Senate, Judge Thurman, to private
life. and given to the Republicans a gain
of one in that body. 1t has killed of the
aspirations Of Senators Thurman and
Pendle.on, and Of Gov. Hendricks, of
Indiana, for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency, and, indeed, we may
say that it has destroyed the prospect of
any Western man for receiving such o
nomination, for It has demonstrated the
correctness of the position assumed last
spring by several of the Southern papers,
among which was the IHTELL1aENcER,
that the judicious political alliance for
tbe South is not with the Northwest, but
with the North and East. The West has
been steadily Republican since 1860. In
diana is the only Northwestern State that
has voted for Democratic President du-
ring this period, and the vote OF the 18th
IN Ohio and Iowa shows that there Is to
he no change in the sentiment OF this Sec
tion towards the South, and weare driven
nv the conduct of the West to return to
that alliance, which Is the only possible
one, and which is at the same time the
surest and safest for US. The States OF
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Delaware are naturally Democratic
States. and with reasonably good man
azement they can be carried by this party
In 1850. Another result of the Ohio cleo
tion is to settle the currency question
permanently in favor Of hard money,
and the "Ohio idea" of imitation Of the
paper currency has been very securely
buried. It will not play an important
factor in our future politics. Taken alto
gether, the battle in Ohio is Republican
triumph of no small magnitude, and one
which will be difficult for the Democratic
party to overcome, even with success in
New York, without which the Presiden-
