A VERY STRONG NOMINATION.

The Republican National Convention
met in Chicago one week ago to-day,
but the forces were so equally divided
that the contest WAS fierce and every
inch Of ground was contested. The
first four days we're occupied in organ
izing, and by shrewd, sharp manage
ment was organized against Grant.
The committee on Credentials was
largely anti-Gnnt, and reported to ad-
nit anti-Grant delegates. The COM
mittee on Rules was also largely anti
Grant, and reported in favor of abolish
ing the unit rule.
The reports Of these two committees
were adopted, which took from Grant
7S votes that had been instructed for
him. This with the vote he got at the
start would have made Grant the nom-
inee. The organization of the conven-
tion cooked Grants goose and left him
no hope. The convention began To bal
lot Monday morning.

Blaine, 2s4; Sherman, 80; Edmunds,

The second ballot gave 10 Garfield. :.
The ballot did not materially change
all day, and Tuesday up TO the S4th hal
lot there had been but little change.
On the s5th ballot Grant went to sls;
Blaine, 255; Garfield, 55, and the Others
scattering.
On the ssth ballot Garfield was nom-
mated.
He is, with theexception Of Edmunds,
the ablest man before the convention,
and NJ far rs availability Is concerned,
he Is the strongest man that they could
have nominated. He has the record Of
being a liberal rather than a stalwart
Republican.
Hon. Chester A. Arthur, of New York,
was nominated ON the first ballot, by
acclamation, for Vice President. He is
the man who was removed from the
Office of Collector Of Customs, Of New
York, by II. B. Hayes.

Another indictment was found against
Messrs. Higdon x WMTham, our popu-

Cundiff preached the opening sermon
ON Thursday night. Conference con-

the church to be in favorable condition,
financial interests improving.
All the pastors in the district were
present but four. Also quite a number
OF local preachers and other officials
were present. Resolutions were adopt

Legislature.
There was an immense crowd there
ON Sunday. Rev. II. G.. Harrison
preached tn all who could get into the

his stentorian voice, held forth from n
stand erected in the grove, to an inn

three feet i'm circumference above the

a very feeble mind, though he can talk
and sing a little. He also has two
thumbs on one hand.

Supposed Murder.

Last Monday evening, shortly after
dark, Ed. Carico came rushing into
town on horse covered with foam
and asked for the coroner, stating that
a woman had been murdered in the
country and that officers presence was
required immediately As soon as the
young man had quieted down and
partly gotten over his excitement, we
interviewed him and obtained the fol-
lowing particulars: Last Saturday af-
ternoon as young Carico, his father
and man named White were riding
over the Cow creek country somewhere
near Deep creek and what is known as
the Portuguese settlement, they rode
into small fat or valley. where their
attention was attracted by q peculiar
pile of grass, which they examined
and beneath which they were horriiisd
at finding the corpse of q woman, ly-
ing face downward, and entirely strip
ped Of clothing. Near the body was
found small heap of ashes and s
number of buttons, which led them te
the belief that the dead womaii',
clothes had been burned there. Pre-
vious to young Carico's departure they
did not make careful examination oi
the corpse, but from bruise on the
side of her head and traces of blood
they were led to the conclusion tha
she had received death l,low from
club in the hands of some unknown
person. Young Carico was imme
diately dispatched to this city for TIA
coroner, while his companions KEEP
watch over the body until that office
should arrive. The young man mad
the trip, something over fifty miles. il
about twelve hours, and on Tuesda
morning started out with Dir. P. i
Bunnell, our county coroner for th
scene of the supposed murder. Th
. only description we are able to get c
the demised is that she was seemingl
,, about twenty-one or two years ole
, and would probably weigh one hur
dred and sixty pounds Her hair w

particulars next week.--Paiouse G1

How consoling to the mind oppres.
sed by heavy sorrow is the voice Of an
amiable woman. Like sacred music,
it imparts to the soul q feeling of ce-
lestial serenity, and as gentle zephyr
refreshes the wearied senses with its
soft and mellihuous tones. Riches
may avail much in the house OF allec-
ton; the friendship Of man alleviate
for time the bitterness Of woe; but
the angel voice Of a woman is capable
of producing a lasting effect on the
heart, and communicates sensation
of delicious composure, which the
mind has never before experienced,
even in the moments OF its highest fe.
Lefty. A woman has no natural gift
