Cured in the lower part Of Carroll county,
in which the parties implicated were Mil
ton Pickett and his daughter Martha, and
a young man named Luther Pickett, a sec

ty paper says: Luther had been urged
for some time to marry the girl, but, has
always refused positively to do SO. On the
day above mentioned Mr.. Pickett and his
daughter, armed with a pistol, started out

working iu a field. He was Immediately
requested by the old gentleman TO accom-
pany him TO the house and to marry his
daughte.. This Luther Pickett refused to
do. Thereuoon firing began, as 1t claimed,
by Lusner Pickett, who directed his shot
toward Milton Pickett. After he had fired
the first shot Martha Pickett drew a revsl-
yer and commenced to fire rapidly at Der
seducer, emptying the five chambers of her
pistol. At this juncture Milton Pickett
started on a run from the field when he was
again fred upon by Luther, and just as he
was climbing the fence he was struck IN
the back, the ball passing entirely through
him, from the effects of which he died on
Thursday. The murderer is still at large,
though a warrant has been issued fo- his
arrest" Great excitement prevails in the
community where the parties reside.

22-Three weeks ago Mrs. Mary Mayer, OF
462 First street, Jersey City, died oftyphoid
fever, and was buried. The body appeared
life-like, and the cheeks after death was
highly colored. This preyed upon the mind
of a drughter of the deceased to such a de-
gree tina she caused the remains to be eX-
humed. 1t was then discovered that the
womon had turned on her face in the coffin,
and that in her struggles she had torn one
ear almost OFT.

Bourbon quarters frightened him, and he went
squarely back on his word.
In the meantime, the friends of the resolution
were untiring in their vigilance The subject was
also canvassed freely by the lobby, and many dis
tnguished gentlemen took active part.
Mr. Wilbur, of Clackamas, consented to offer
the motion. Mr.. Smith, of Jackson, agreed to
second. The critical moment came. Notices of
bills, messages from the Senate, and motions to
take up certain other measures were sprung upon
Mr. Speaker with great rapidity. Much confusion
ensued
Mr. Wilbur made several Intellectual attempts
to get the floor, but finally succeeded.
The vote to reconsider stood 81 for and IS
against.
Mr. Ford, of Marion, tried hard to foist another
measure upon the House. but was declared out of
order.
The resolution was carried by the following
vote:
Ayes-Barrett Beebe, Bies, Brockway, Cold
WELL Chamberlain, Collard, Craig, Dawson,
Durham, Ford, Galloway, Geer, Laughin, Law

Even the opponents of the measure pleasantly
accepted the result.

A DOUGLAS DEMOCRAT
GIVES CALIFORNIA; LADY LAWYER HIS REASONS
FOR DENYING THAT THE REPUBLICANS,
AS PARTY, SAVED THE UNION.
PoMERoY, w. T., October Q. 1ssl

fOMERON, W. l., OCTOBER y, 1881.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Permit me to submit to your intelligent readers
this concluding rejoinder to Clara $ Foltz's reply
of September 21st. will present few facts for
her benefit and that of your readers.
The lady must know that just as soon as the
President-elect takes the oath of Office he ceases to
be partisan-is the President Of the whole peO-
pie, individually and collectively, and all his acts
both civil and military are done for and in the
name Of the whole people; hence the absurdity
and sophistry of the claim set up by the Republi-
cans that they, as party, saved the Union.
Mr. Lincoln's popular vote in 1860 was S66, ,352 ;
opposing candidates, 2,Sl050l. Although Mr.
Lincoln was duly elected, he lacked nearly 1OOO,-
600 votes of having a popular majority. The
whole number of volunteers enlisted during the
war was 2,67s,9 ,967. Now, does anyone suppose
that the 1,S66352 voters for Mr.. Lincoln turned
out 2,67S, 1867 volunteers, when probably not over
two-thirds of his voters entered the army? Hi
nois i'm 1860 cast 172 16l votes for Mr. Lincoln and
sent 259,l47 troops to the field, probably about
three-fourths enlisted In the State of Missouri
Mr. Lincoln received a few votes over 1900 and
that State sent over 100000 men to the Union
army What think you, kind reader, of the boast
of the Republican party that it saved the Union ?
Where would the Union be to-day if the Demo-
cratic party had withheld its support?
Every person of reasonable intelligence that
has measured three-score years knows that the
people of the North and the South were educated
to hate each other; and it is equally certain that
political demagOgues and fanatics combined in the
formation of that party which, as soon as it ac-
quired sufficient strength bade defiance to all law
and the Constitution by the passage of personal
liberty bills and open resistance to the laws of the
United States. Call this party by any name you
may, but memory has not failed nor history all
been burned" in relation to its legitimate fruit,
the Kansas war, in which John Brown figured so
conspcuously, his last adventure in the West
being to cross into Missouri about Weston, cap
ture ten negroes by killing one man. crossing back
into Kansas, and conveying them i'm covered
wagons up the Missouri River and crossing over

taking thence the accused, and hanging them
without judge or jury; doctrine nat utterly dis
qualities its advocate to sit as lror in any case
The patriotic and constitutionally loyal men OF
the North irrespective of party, seeing the exas-
perated condition of the South by the reckless
crusade of fanatcism that bade defiance to all law,
convened at Chicago and reconstructed the Re
publican party by inserting the fourth article, but
for which Mr.. Douglas would have been triumph
antly elected. 1t reads:
That the maintenance involae Of the rights OF States
and especially the right OF each State order and control

men exclusively, essential that balance or power on
which the perfection and political fabric
depends and denOunce the lawess invasion by armed
soil any Territory matter under

Every person that has correct knowledge Of
the history of these parties must know thai If the
Republican party had maintained the doctrine of
this plank from its first fOrma ion, there would
have been no war-nO attempt 20 shoot this Ma

How those who have assembled 10 the top of

endearing recollections gather around the

the hand Of parental affection, we used 10

through our tears and our sorrows back over

are well fed Yea to such an extent is this
idea carried that even the birds have grain
strewn along the way to give them an extra
meal" Truly this is one part of the angelic
song, "Good Will" The music of that song
has come down through the centuries. We
have heard it rung out from Christmas bells
year after year, and it will ring again, ring
through this fertile land of America, and
Europe will send the answering sound
across the hills and through her valleys.
The blue mountains yelled in mist, OF crown
ed with the white garlands of the everast-
ing snow, shall all echo the music far and
near. From England's clustered isles, and
through the million homes of the German
land, through smiling France, over the
domed and turreted hills of Switzerland,
through sunny Spain and vine-clad Italy,
shall ring the sound. From the watch
towers of Asia, and the ripping sands shall
be heard this grand music. From cathedral
and meeting house, cell and palace and
hut will come the sweet refrain. The hui
man voice and the pipe of organ, the chant
OF viol and the blare of trumpet, all are Civ
ing forth the music, the Christmas festival
BE merry and glad, but don't let Christmas
pass in selfish care. Tighten some heart
comfort some weary one; clothe some ma
ked one; feed some hungry one, and at the
same time give God the glory for the pro-
lection of our lives to see another Christmas
day
