Ashocking murder was committed
at Charlotte, N. c., Thursday. Squire
Darlington sent his twelve-year old
son into a field to watch some COWS
but the boy left his post and went to
playing. For the offense the father
caught him and after stripping him
of clothing took him to the woods
and actually hayed him alive. He left
the dead body naked in the woods.
The boys body was literally cut to
pieces by the stick which the Mon
ster used. The unnatural father is
now under arrest.

The republicans of Texas have

As a general thing the members
of the Smith family are endowed
with pacific temperaments, and if
they are conspicuous for anything
in particular it is disposition to
increase rather than diminish the
population of the country. Geor-
gia, however, furnishes a painful
exception to the rule in the person
Of NJ. A. Smith, bailiff, who called
an individual named Spence to one
side to talk about an election and
then shot him dead before he had
time to insert a word in the CONVEX
sation. The murderer escaped.

The Cole system of railroads en-
braces 2,08O miles of railroad, OF
which 1,1SO miles are south OF
Chattanooga and 900 miles north OF
it. The distance from Nashville to
Savannah, via that route, $50 miles,
while it Is 1859 miles from Nash
vile to New York, and 3I6 miles
from Nashville to st. Louis. 1t
will thus be seen that the distance
from st. Louis to Savannah is 902
miles, or 157 miles less than from
Nashville TO New York. This will
give some idea of the snortness of
this route to the Atlantic seaboard.

Gently large number of negroes,
probably 200, have passed through
Charlotte en- route to the turpentine
fields OF Georgia, which are now be-

come from the piney wood region OF
North Carolina, and are generally an
able bodied set. The last party
composed OF about 100. passed down
the road day before yesterday. 1t Is
stated that quite a number left the
state for the same destination last
year. They are preferred to the
Georgia laborers on account OF
their experience and knowledge OF

The situation in Maine is becom-
ing more and more complicated and
the scene changes so often that it is
difficult to describe the exact state
of affairs. Lampson, the president
of the senate. has declared himself
governor for the time being, but his
pretensions are ignored by General
Cham berlain, who commands the
milit Try forces of the state under
authority from Gov. Garcelon. In
the meantime, the parties engaged
in the controversy are making faces
at each other, but so far they have
prudently avoided bloodshed. Such
a condition of affairs in a southern
state would furnish a pretext for
federal interference, but as the trou
BILE is confined to the super angelic
commonwealth of Maine, the repose
of the Fraud first triumphant is not
disturbed by the clamors of the
truly loyal.

the best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed 1t has
been most anxious for end of sectional strife.
But 1t saw two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union, 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the hesrtiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory were
more cheering
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION
OF The Trbunc's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warning
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis it conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the beat
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
