Hunter, the murderer was hanged
Mt Philadelphia on Friday. lie was
completely prostrated, and had to bo
carried to the place of execution.
The hanging was bungltngly pcr-
formed. The rope either had too
much slack or gave way SO much that
it barely lifted the culprit from the
fleor, when he fell back, and was
caught by the assistants. The sheriff
seized the rope and hoisted Hunter
into the air, and he was hung only by
a number of persons holding to the
rope during the whole time in which
he was suspended.

Throw Up Their Hats for Tllden.
Especial to Ike Philadelphia 7ines.l
1NDIANArOLIS, January 9.-Indiana
political circles are considerably dis
turDed to-day over reports ofthc cau-
Gus of about thirty leading Democrats
from all parts OF the State, which took
place at the Bates House, and which
Is known to have expressed decided
preference for Tildcn over Hendrix rs
the next candidate for the presidency.
Ii was freely asserted in the confer
cncc that If Governor Tilden conld OK
plain satisfactorily tho cipher tclc-
grams he would be far more available
as q candidate than the Indiara flyor-
itc. Governor IIsndrix has met with
severe financial losses during the past
few years and is not able to furnish
the sincws of war for q vigorous
national campaign, it was argued
No dissent from these sentiments was
expressed in the caucus. Governor
Hendricks friends feel much cha nrinod
at the reports that have been circu-
latod and call attention to the fact that
nota Democrat from indianapolis was
present ut the conference.
The election Of Voorhees, 10 the
ChAISo tolittCS SCudLC next week is
now believed to be assured. The ac-
ton OF the different caucuses leaves lit.
to doubt that he will be chosen on the
first or second ballot.

sibility, escaped. An hour later man
applied at the police station for modi-
cal attention, s.."ing he had been way
laid and beaten b, robbers. Murphy,
rcgaining consciousness, proceeded to
the same station house, where he
identified the party rs the burglar.
The latter admitted the fact, and said
the fear lest he should die unless his
wounds were dressed prompted him to
go to tho station house.

Glccnbackcrs and an Independent
Democrat. 1t is claimed that Voor-
hccs will get the CIR ccnback vote, if
necessary, though tho Democrats will
have a majority Of two over all, unless
two sick members arc unable to put
in an appearance. Voorhees, will be
elected for one year, to fill Morton's
vacancy, as his appointment was good
only until the meeting Of the Lcgsla-
turc, and will receive the long term
beginning 1880.
Jones, Of Nevada, and Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania, have been nominated
by caucuscs in their respective Lcgis-

and =. II. Barnum. The latter is the
celebrated Barnum Of circus and

with mcnagcrics may have induced
him to try Il hand in capturing tho

is put down at two votes, from which
it may be inferred that his candidacy
is only neat advertising dodge in

Destroying the Honor of the State.
From the Abbcvillc lNcdium VIC
clip the following:
In the course of running conycr-
sation between u party OF intelligent
gentlemen at Hodges last Saturday u
vote was taken as to the proper dis
position Of the bonded debt of the
State, and every man Of the company
voted for absolute reputation. This
little straw may be taken as an indi-
cation ofhow the wind is blowing.
One Of the voters said, "I vote for re-
pudiation because | want to destroy
the honor and the credit of the State
we have no business borrowing money
to run the government for which Dur-
pose the State is herself sufficiently
able without any cXtrancous aid"
1t is Il settled fact in every rctlccting
mind that no mere act Ola general
assembly can make Il wrong right or
force the people to pay Il debt they
never contracted and do not owe. 1t
is completely with thieves to ask them
to do so.
We are not so much surprised ut
the vote as at the candor Of the voter.
That wholesale reputation would
most cflcctually tend "to destroy the
honor and the credit Of the State" is
something about which We have no
doubt, but we had charitably believed
that the rcpudiationists themselves
were not aware of the consequences
Of their act. The point is not whcth-
or tho State over wishes to borrow
again, but whether she intends to pay
what she has already been lent
If an individual should borrow money
to begin business, and, after acuuir-
ing competency, should refuse to
pay the loan on the ground that he
could get along in future without any
assistance, and wished to destroy his
credit to prevent temptations, he
would be acting precisely as some
Carolinians wish tho State to act.

NOT MUCH LONGER.

From the time of i's frs: settle
 ment Arizona has been compelled 70 contend with difficulties that have seemed almost insurmountable
 in the way of hor development.
 She has been almost at times com
 pletcly isollted from the outside
 world. Her distance from rail
 roads, and the depredatinns of
 bowling and blood-tLirsty eavages
 have prevented people from enter-
 ing her borders. The few hardy
 arsd courageous people already here
 have waited these many years for
 r: lief and prosperity which they fcl, sur. would como with the ad.
 vent of railroads. Kuowing the
 vast extent of her mineral deposits
 they have felt sure of her success so soon as Ariznna became acce .sihIe to the outside world. They have wsitcd long and patiently. Some times they we're almost ready to d', pair. When the long dark
 6narcial night of years had settled down upon our whole country, which paraiizsd railroad building all over the nation. it seemed that the iron road would never reach us. But out fthat darkness the .un of prosperity has again risen in the East, and soon the rays will quicken into activity our long slumE.ering industries even here, in this south western correr of the Un ted States. X new era of rlilreAd building has dawned upon inc nation, and it will not he long until from the East and tie North as already from the 1 West, the scream of the locomo- | live will be heard all over our mountains and plains. I hen the value of Arizona will become ap- parent. and we shall have peopl,. here by the thou-ands attracted by our woBdrous climate and wealth of natural resources.

THE DEMOCRATIC BOUT

ADzIIxIsrRATIvECHILDIsn
 EERS.


 The fastilious ness and undue importance attached tn very small
 things tllat has marked the admins tration of PRESIDENT HAYES and
 hi< Cabinet has excited the disgust
 and contempt even of many Re-
 publicans. They have acted the
 part of mere children, ard seem to
 have never risen to the measure of
 he positions they hold. The latest
 infusion of childishness, which has
 come from that august council is
 the recent order of PosraxsrER GENERAL EBF that ali letters not
 properly d T. cted should be sent to
 the Dead Lctt-r Office. Usually
 N postmaster is supposed to have
 little common sense. If he has not,
 ke has no business with the office.
 If letter rhrull be addressed from
 any point in Ar;zpna to the HER
 AID. Phonix, the postmaster that
 would moi know enough to send it
 to this office would be fool, and yet m more sn than tho head of the Department which requires it to be forwarded tn Washington. Tn. theory is that if letter is directed to any person with the name of the l city only, however well k own the ! city may be-, it Is liable tD be rnis- sent, because there may happen to be an obscu,e village of the came name in some remote corner of Florida or Texls, which would be about as difficult 10 find as good tense ill the order which carries it to neither piece whore name it bears, but to certain burial in the Dead Letter Office. On this theory B lett, sent to R. B. HAYES, Wash ington, must go to the Dead Litter Office, instead eff to tho White lIouse, because there is village sllled Washington on the Ohio River. in Indiana. and as the letter did Lot have the letters ID.
