Fernando Wood was a mem her Of the
Congress which appropriated $50, 900 in
aid of Prof. Morse's experimental telc-
graph line between Washington and
Baltimore. Mr.. Wood voted tor the ap-
preparation, and was, in consequence,
defeated in his next race for Congress
by tho Intelligent voters Of his district,
who couldn't tolerate Il representative
who would waste public money on
such II chimerical project as that of
transmitting intelligence upon wires
strung upon poles.

A most atrOcious crime was commit.
ted Saturday night at Kingston, a small
hamlet in DeSoto parish, about twelve
miles northeast Of Mansfield. Mr.. Judd
Scott, young merchant doing business
in Kingston left his boarding house
about O'Clock p. n., going to his store
where 1t was his custom to sleep. On
Sunday morning his body was discov-
cred lying about half way between
Mrs. Boards, where he boarded, and
his store. The top of his head had
been almost entirely blown Off by
a gun shot. The brains were scattered
around, and hogs had partly devoured
his body. His store and safe keys hal
been taken, and it was subsequently,
ascerfained that the store and safe had
been opened. No goods have been
missed, and it is not known how much
has been taken.
MIR Scott was one of the police jury
men in DeSoto parish, q man utterly
without reproach and not known to
have an enemy. the murder was evil
ieutly for the purpose of robbery.
Capt. Sample, sheriff of DeSoto par
isl', is on the ground and has arrested
two negroes on strong circuinstantial
evidence. 1t is rumorel this morning
that an attempt was made last night to
take the the prisoners from the sheriff
for the purpose of lynching, but with
out success. Capt. Sample will protect
the majesty of the law if possible, but
it will be difficulty to restrain the peo-
plo if tho assassins arc found. The
citizens of DcSoto parish are detcrmin-
ed to put down Observation-Disclosures
Standard.

just at the time when our Fourth of
July celebrations drag, the sister re-
public of France is commemorating
her now national day, the 18th Of July
with splendid fcrvOr. Certainly the
comparison is not in our favor, when
We read with what universal enthusi-
asrn and with what hearty joy all
France took part in tho peoples holiday
this year as we'll as last. Why it is,
that tho Fourth of July has come to be
with us chiefly a day Of private leisure
when the Fourteenth of July in France
is oneof respondent public demonstra-
tons, may be explained in different
ways but the moment an explanation
is necessary, tho case is surrendered
A really public celebration must be
spontaneous it cannot be produced by
eXhortations to take part in it as Il mat
ter of duty. 1t must be seized with
cagerncss as Il privilege, or tho zest of it
is gone. AS fact, we find our people
leaving their homes on tho Fourth for
tho sea shore, or for visit to the
country, or for fishing excursions, or
at least employing the dayi in base ball
matches, or in some sort of diversion
which, though perfectly good in its
way, has no special reference to the
Declaration of Independence, nor TO
any sort of patriotic ceremonies. The
boys, to be sure, keep up Il racket of
crackers and guns, largely through en-
joyment of the noise, and somewhat
because it is II sport forbidden in the
streets all the rest of the year. 1t will
perhaps he suggested that the euthusi-
asm of tho French celebration is due to
its novelty. OF course this assertion
cannot be disproved until afto~ the
lapse of time has given some ev! nee
on tho subject; In any case II does not
alter the fact regarding our Fourth of
July.-N. y. ,Stt,f.

ell Il verdict of justitiablc homicide,
coupled with the statement that Pat
Garrett deserved the thanks of the

If Messrs. Miller and Lapham are
elected to the Senate can the Republi-
cans continue in control Of the Lower
House? The appointment of Levy p.
Morton as Minister to France places
one of the districts in Now York city
in jeopardy, and with the bitter feeling
now pervading the Republican factions
we are apprehcnsive of the result in

sors to Messrs. Miller ana Lapham
should they be successful at Albany.
This is not n matter Of factional in

sidered.

Except in a party sense New York

to have these two respectable nonenti-

chosen to the new Congress that will

THE San Diego Union, In notic-

tor things Of its own pet than we of
right ought to have expected of
the Southern Pacific. We do not
la the slightest degree desire to
dash its hopes. The editor of this
Journal rem EN- bers the time when
Col. w. JEFF Gatewood was nearly
mobbed in San Diego for
desiring to exact guaran-
tees in black and white from
Col. Tom Scott, and yet every well
Informed man knows how abso-
lutely and totally Col. Scott had
sold out San Diego to the
Southern Pacific Railway be.
fore the panic OF 1873 made
him hunt for soft spot to
fall upon. Dsspising Col. Gate
woods wiss provision, San Diego
handed oyer to Scott prlncsly
guerdon, totally without condition.
The people of Los Angeles had ex
actly the same experience. Time
was when everything was roseate
here, and when the Southern Pa
cldc made trsckway across the
heavens like veritnble sun of
hope. Notwithstanding, after the
completion Of that railway, our
people-or many of tbem-spent
five or six years In unstlnted OBJ
jurgstions. They were wrong in
both cases. They hsvs Just passed
the melancholy period of proba-
tlon which attends the completion
of railways, here and elsewhere,
and are now getting the solid COM
pensations. Notwithstanding the
angelic aspect, just now, of their
Railway people, we still believe
that San Diego will pass through
ldentieally the Same ordeal, to
emerge triumphantly from it, no
doubt, Just as We have done. There
may be special railway dispensa-
ton accorded to The ambitious
young city near the Mexican line,
but it will be special and peculiar
indeed If 1T ssail involve no resc.

impossible for him to carry the tes-
timony in his memory, or to aid

A. the close of the testimony the
Court instructs him Ia the law ap-
plicable to the case, and then it be-
comes his duty TO make up his ver-
diet by applying as best he may

with such preparation and aid only

Of the Court.
Again, the jurymsn is impressed

burden of proving them, and so,

The death of Capt. A. J. Fritz
has materially modified the mu-
nicipal programme In San Fran
DISCO. That young leader, in bis
best moments, had rare degree of
political ssgacity end u remarka-
BILE power of impressing a certain
respect for discipline on bis follow
ers. While there IL discomfort in
the Republican camp, there are
also wsveripg, indecision and a
dangerous suggestion of factious
element amongst the Democracy.
Two poetical names, Manhattan
and Yosemite, seem to be ominous
Of division In the Democratic
ranks. Parson Kalloch, besides,
Notwithstanding his professed re-
tirement from politics. is cultivat-
ing . suspicious cordiality with the
Sand Lot. Kalloch is liable to
flop to the Republicans. The DEM
ocrats ought to carry San Fran
oieco. and we hope they will, but
their power to do so would not
have been lessened IN the slightest
degree had A. j. Fritz lived. A
positive leader, even ii he be a
mere ward rounder, with big fists
aud undaunted pluck, is always a
tremendous force IN the municipal
arena. We are sorry to confess
that we discern no evidencs OF the
Democracy having such a
oorypheus in San francisco to.
day. OnIy by dropping all cross
purposes and pulling cordially to-
gether can the Democratic party
hope to succeed. Too much of the
diisttanti Democracy and too
much Of the Ward Presidents
would alike prove fatal to success.

PERHAPS the most ridicu

aspect OF our politics Ia the Snug
conceit with which the Republican
press look upon the ascendancy of
their party as essential to the ma
tloDal welfare. The fact is that
the American peopIa are groaning
aud sweating under the great bur
den and grievance OF this ascend
ancy. When we refer to the peo-
pie we do not mean the curled dar.
lings of fortune who frequent the
fashionable watering places, who's Q

names aud washed down with the
choice vintages of sunny France.
To all these Representatives uf the
"people"-to all who are lodged in
palaces, and whose delicate skins
know only the contact Of down and
siik-the Republican party is iu-
deed O necessity, without which
their existence would be very pre-
carious indeed. Only in the at.
mosphere engerdered by the Re-
publican patty could these insolent
rich men. made redundantly opu-
lent by the prostitution of every
function of national and State gov
ernments to their interest, have
their own sweet will. The Repub.
llcan party often boasts of the tre-
mendous largesses OF the public
lands it has given to corporations,
of it's loans of the national credit
and Its manipulation of the public
debt. Every feature of its career
in this respect has been Infamous
In the highest degree. 1t has taken
a pride In drawing the lines tighter
and tighter around the masses, and.
has exulted as 1t saw the progress
Of the inexorable methods which
were converting the groundlings
into mere hewers of wood and
drawers,of water to the privileged
few. We have heard of the prof-
gate who steals the livery Of heav-
9 d to serve the devil in. All that
was nothing to this party which
stole one ofthe names of the party
OF Thomas Jefferson to exalt the
practices and doctrines of Alexau-
der HAMILTON, his deadliest oppo-
nent. Occasionally we hear Re.
publican exultation at the nomI-
n Al Liberation of fsur million black
slaves. Nothing is said by these
glib writer's and orators about the
practical enslavemeut of fifty
millions Of people of all colors,
oreeds and races. Ever since the
Republican party ,tole one of the
n ,mes Of Jefferson's grand old paI-
ty 1t devised every one of its dis-
tinctive measures with a view of
stultifyiDg every one OF Jeferson's
most cherished principles. Its real
method In politics Is to make the
voters poor and to buy their suf.
