Killed by n Meteor.

Covington, Ind, January 15.-On
Tuesday night last, Leonidas Grover,
who resided in the vicinity of Newton,
Fountain county, met his death in
way that is probably without parallel
in this or in any other country. Mr..
Grover was widower, living on his
farm with a married daughter and
her husband. On the evening re-
ferred to, the married couple had been
absent on a visit to some neighbours
and upon returning at late hour
entered the house, finding everything,
to all appearance, in usual order, and
supposing that Mr.. Grover had al
ready retired, went to bed themselves.
Next morning the daughter arose,
and having prepared breakfast went
to the adjoining room to call her
father, and was Mortified to find him
lying on his shattered bed, a mutilated
corpse. Her screams brought the
husband quickly to the bedroom, and
an inspection disclosed aragged open
ing in the roof, directly over the breast
of the unfortunate man, which was
torn through as if by cannon shot,
and extending downward through the
bedding and floor; other holes showed
the direction taken by the deadly
missile. Subsequent search revealed
the fact that the awful calamity was
caused by the fall of a meteoric stone,
and the stone itself, pyramidal in
shape weighing twenty pounds and
a few ounces avoirdupois, and stained
with blood, was unearthed from a
depth of nearly five feet, thus show
ing the fearful impetus with which it
struck the dwelling. The position
of the corpse with other surroundings
when found showed that the victim
was asleep when stricken, and that
death to him was painless.

The Truth about Louisiana.

loieNeland Herald, (Kep)
The letters of Mr. E. V. Smalley to
the New York Tribune are exciting
unusual attention from the northern
press. Mr.. Smalley has, since his
present visit to the south, become con-
WINGED that the views he formerly en-
tertained of the outrages said to be
practiced upon the Republicans of the
south were incorrect, and that the
grave charges made by Mr.. Blaine and
other prominent leaders of the Repub-
lican party against the Democrats Of a
portion of the Southern States are alb
solutely correct in letter and detail.
Nobody can doubt, in view of the ugly
facts Mr.. Smalley vouches for, that
murder, fraud, violence and brutality
we've matters of systematic and frequent
occurrence in Louisiana, done solely in
the intesest of the Democratic party.

A COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. CORBIN.
He is NOMINATED TO BE CmEF-JUsnCE OF UTAH.
HIS POLITICAL HISTORY.

HIS POLITICAL HISTORY.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Mr. David T. COrbin was
nominated By the President to-day to be Chef-JuS-
tice of the Supreme Court of Utah.
Mr. Corbn has for several years past resided IN
South Carolina, where he served. during the latter
part of the Grant Administration, as United states
District Attorney for the State. lie is lawyer OF
remarkable ability and he administered his office
in South Carolina in such manner as to meet with
the entire approval of the Department. Fearless in
his political course, he had the complete confidence
Of the Republicans of South Carolina, and nothing
would have given the members ofthat party greater
confidence in the disposition of the Administration
of President Hayes to enforce the laws and protect
the rights of citizens than his reappointmcnt to his
old office at any time within the last two years.
In 1876 he was one of Governor Chamberlain's
ablest and most Jealous advisers and defenders and
was elected by the Chamberlain Legislature to the
limited States Senate. He would unquestionably
have been seated except for the detection OF Sena-
tors Patterson aud COnOver. General NJ. c. Butler
was admitted by their votes, but the Senate by this
action did not pass upon the merits of the case At
the last session OF Congress the Committee on Prv-
leges and Elections, after thorough investigation
of the facts in the case, divided by party lines. The
Republican members, forming the majority reported
that Mr.. COTbin was entitled to his seat. The Dem
ocrats reported that General Butler should retain
il. The facts and the law were on the side of the
Republicans but by the assistance of Senators Pat
tersOn and COnOvcr and one or two other Kepubil-
cans the minority report was adopted and General
Butler was declared TO have been legally elected;
Acknowledgement Dcvcns recently requested Mr.;
Corbin TO go to South Carolina as special counsel
for the Government for the prosecution of persons
guilty of violation Of the Election laws last Novem
Der but Mr.. COrbln preferred to have nothing fur
tLer to do with matters III that State His appoint
ment to the Chief-Justceship of the Supreme Court
of Utah will be universally recOgniz ed by persons
not politically prejudiced as one OF the very best
that could be made.
