In Alabama the negroes generally voted with
the white Democrats. 1.-The trial Of James
T. Dejarnette, for the murder of his sister in

that he had killed his best friend in his sleep:
The alarm soon became general and the neigh
bors collected from all quarters. They all
testified that Click exhibited in most vic.
lent manner his regret, and finally became
so exhausted that he had to be carried home.
In the preliminary trial it was proven by
both State and defendants witnesses that

the house window-sometimes through the
glass from the second story, cutting himself
considerably. He has also been known to
get up and choke some Of the family, saying
that the bears in Texas were after him and
then run a quarter or half mile down near
the river, and wake to find himself alone.
When he went visiting he requested his neigh
bors to tie him, which they did. Last week he
went to sleep in the room where his dead
uncle lay corps. He suddenly arose with
terrible expressions of fear and started to
seize his dead uncle. His sister and gen.
tleman caught him. got him awake and he
went back to bed. Many other instances

SOME OPINIONS.

The hope Of success for the Republicans in
the next years campaign, therefore, rests
wholly in the Northern States. Those States
give 23l electoral votes The majority which
is necessary to elect President is 1875. 1t will
be seen that the Northern States cast forty-six
more than this number. Hence, the Republi.
can nominee for President mi ght lose forty-six
votes in the Northern States and still be
elected.
Now, let the Grant managers look at the
figures. New York gives thirtyfive votes,
OHIO twenty-five, and Wisconsin ten, making
a total Of sixty seven. Grant could not carry
either OF those States against Democratic
nominee upon whom the party was united

Cornell at the recent election If the Democ-
racy had been united on their candidate for
Governor, Cornell would have been beaten by

that they have made clean sweep of Repub-

with perfect justice to all concerned, that the
