Outskirt OF the village i'm the most alb.
ject poverty, which was intensified by
CarsOn's intemperance aud III health.
He has been known TO be very vic.
lent in temper when drunk.
AT q O'Clock tonight a young man
who wanted TO get Mrs. Carson to do
some washing to morrow raped at
the door, and getting no response he
entered and found the room in utter
confusion. Mrs. Carson lay on the
front part of The bed murdered. A
portion of her left cheek was entirely
cut Of. which he afterward found in a
bowl. The fatal blow had apparently
been given with hatcllet.
Phe coroner was called when it was
found that Mrs. Carson was entirely
nude, being covered with a bed tick,
and her husband was lying in drunk
en- stupOr on the back part of the bed.
He was taken to Jail when he reused

years of age and has been a highly
respected man. He was at one time

WAsHINGToN March S.-The court of
claims rendered a decision o-day In
the case of the Atchison, Topeka s.
Santa Fe railway company against the
United States, in which the claimant
seeks to recover compensation for
transportation services rendered by it
to the United States in 1875 and 1876.
The services of claimants, at ordinary
tariff rates charged the public, would
be worth $17O.S43. The court finds,
however, that claimant is entitled to
recover for transportation done tor the
United States over its land grant road,
from March 81, 1875. to December l,
1876, only so per cent. Of ordinary tar
iff rates charged the public, viz the
sum of $50, ,42l, which, less $40, ,748 al
ready paid by the government on ac-
count thereof, leaves still due $5,673.
The opinion of the court as to the per-
centage of its claim which the road is
entitled to recover is decisive of
twelve or fifteen other cases brought
by land grant railroads, involving be.
tween $500, 200 aud $l,OOO,0O0.

The pure, pious and patriotic Re-

the Democracy intend to "count in"
and inaugurate their candidate for
President in the coming contest whetb-
er he be elected or not. This is but a
pretext, and they know their pretend.
ed fears are utterly groundless. The
Democracy have never yet opposed
the seating of any man who was fairly
elected. and they don't propose to do
SO in the future. But the thieves who
stole the Presidency in 1877, may as

The fight among the different fac
tions in the Republican party is wax
ing hot, and the champions of each
candidate seem to think his special ia
vorite is the only one who stands the
least hope OF being elected if nomi-
mated. The Dayton Journal (Rep.)
thinks Blaine can't carry Ohio. II says :
"While we shall sincerely support
Mr.. Blaine il he is dominated, we are
constrained to say we do not now be-
lieve he can carry Ohio. IL will be a
great misfortune to the Republican
party TO nominate any man whose rec
ord will compel his party to enter upon
defensive campaign at the start. We
freely admit all the encomiums the ar
dent friends of Senator Blaine bestow
upon him, but we would regard his
nomination with most serious appre-
hensiQn"
The Repository, the Republican Or
gan of Stark county, thinks that, while
Sherman or Blaine would have at least
a chance of carrying Indiana and New
York, Grant could not touch either
State with flag-pole," and that even
" Pennsylvania, with its 1000 Repub-
lican majority, would not be safe if
Grant should be the nominee. Neither
Wisconsin" And all oyer the country
the opposition 10 John Sherman, the
great national wrecker, and especial
friend of the syndicate and privileged
capital, among the Republican work
ingmen is most emphatic. So it would
seem that all is not harmonious in the
Radical camp. The men who stole the
Presidency in 1861 will resort to ey-
cry artifice and device to hold their
grip upon place and power.
