Mr.. ROwlett was an honorable mer-

was regarded as a worthy, an indus

native Of Marshall county, Mississippi,

the war in Vaugbn's Twentieth Mis-

wound at MurfFeesboro the marks of

days on earth would be relieved from

The Alleged wlIIIams Brothers.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1O.-A special
from Grand Island says that Sheriff Kill
liam, of this county, was called upon At
a late hour Tuesday night TO proceed
into the country about two miles south
of the city to arrest TWO men who were
making themselves obnoxious TO farm
er's family. The farmer said they repre-
scented themselves as being hunters from
Hastings, but they carried Winchester
rifles and also being Otherwise heavily
armed, he thought there was something
wrong. Sheriff Klllian, with deputy,
proceeded TO the farmers house about 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning. and found
the men in bed. He asked them to get
up and dress, as he wished To speak 20
them. Kiilian saw at q glance that they
resembled Ed. and Lon. Maxwell, alias
Williams, the notorious Pekin county
(Wisconsin) murderers. They both
drew on their pants and boots, and
AlonZo excused himself = minute while
he stepped outside. While he had gone,
Killian grappled with Ed, and with tie
assistance of the farmer and his son,
threw him TO the floor, and narrowly es-
capped being shot Il by Ed. They
got his revolver away from him and
held him to the floor while Killian en-
deavored TO handcuff him, but Ed. gave
q irregular Indian waT-Vhoop, callidg Lon
Kelli&n stepped outside the door 10 stop

with q drawn revolver, and Killian
stepped aside just in time 70 escape the
shot. He then went inside and instruct
ed the deputy to guard the door with
his double barreiled shotgun. As he
did 50, Lon stuck his head inside, when
the deputy pulled on him, but the cap
missed fire, which move scared of Lon,
who ran away without coat or bat and
hid in The grass. Killian then started
and went 10 look for Lon, but it was

DOCTORS DISAGREE.

we publish on our telegraph page the
promised statement from DR. S. A.
boynton in regard to the surgical man
agement of the case of the late Presi-
dent Garfield. It's effect will be rather
startling, and we apprehend from the
habitual disposition of the public to
severely criticise physicians, injustice
may be done DIR. Bliss. There is MOTH
ing more common than for doctors to
disagree. We believe we are correct
when we say there is no class or pro-
fession among whom green-eyed jeal-
ousiy exists to a greater degree than
among eminent physicians. II is
a Characteristic Of the profes-
sion. This may be the motive 10
some extent of DIR. BOyntOn's
statement; at least DIR. Bliss should be
heard before condemned. 1; does not
seem possible that Bliss would have at
tanned his present and long standing
prominence in Washington unless he
had earned il by merit. 1t does not
seem possible that for nearly three
months the eminent physicians in the
case would have remained silent and
submitted TO the management and as
sumption which Boynton now charges.
Boynton was friend of the Garfields,
and practiced in the family, and yet he
allowed the Encouragement, which he
now charges, and which was more than
criminal, if he tells the truth, TO go on
without protest. 1t seems TO us incred-
iblc that such men as Agnew and Ham
iltOn, To say nothing of the others, would
have repeatedly allowed the publication
OF their most unqualified endorsement
of the mode of treatment of the case,
had there been The abuses existing which
Boynion processes to disclose. He says
that he gave up all hope on the
23d of July, and yet as late as the 30th
of that month the telegraph reports him
as coming from the White House and
saying, "Lhe President is decidedly better
than he has been at any time since he
was shot," and that it was his opinion
that his progress towards recovery
would not be impeded again
This disagreement of the physicians
Is unfortunate. It opens the wounds of
the martyred man afresh before the pub
lie. We regret that Boynton has so soon
made his startling declarations. The
discussion must be attended with more
or less acrimony, which would not have
grated SO harshly upon the sorrow of
the public had more time been allowed
to heal the wounded hearts of the ma
ton. But now that it is commenced,
we hope the truth will be reached. We
do not deny but that Boynton is eminent
in his profession, and that his statement
is entitled to weight; We simply say
that something must be charged TO the
score of jealousy, and that the public
must give all an unprejudiced hea ring
before making up it's verdict.

END OF THE SOLID SOUTH


The victory of the Readjusters in Vir-
ginia not only frees that commonwealth
from the curse of Bourbon domination
but the result is accepted by all as max
ing an end of the solid south. The
moral effect of the Liberal triumph in
the old Dominion will be felt through
out the entire south, and will greatly
strengthen the independent movement
which favors the breaking up of old
political systems in that section and the
Inauguration of q broader and more
progressive policy in the administration
of public affairs. The advantage to the
south and to the entire country of
such n revolution cannot be oveI-esti-
mated. The magnificent resources of
the southern states have already begun
to invite investment at the hands of
northern capitalists, who, in the hope of
a better political regime than has pre-
vailed in that section in the past, have
ventured their money in the establish
ment of those important industries
which the products of the country so
abundantlY favor. The introduction of
Yankee thrift and enterprise has acted
as leaven in the districts which they
have invaded, and nothing is wanted
save the assurance of those conditions
which protect the citizen in the exercise
of his civil and political rights TO affect
sweeping and radical change in those
states which have SO long languished
under the baneful influence OF Bourbon
rule.
The success of the Liberal movement
in Virginia means the political Olsen
thrallment of the south. and the begin
ming of a new era rich in prosperity fol
that section so highly favored by nature
and fruitful of beneficent results for &
happy and united Republic.

election of the straight Republican tick
ct, J. NJ. Hedrick, sheriff, 20 majority
McCandless, treasurer, 100; W. r. Mar
shall, clerk, 400, John Payne, register,
400. The opposition was a peoples
ticket and the canvass one of the most
exciting ever held in the county.
In Sedgwick county the entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected. Louis N.
Woodcock was elected treasurer over
the combined mongrcl and Democrat
ticket by 200 votes. Ed. A Dorsey,
county clerk, H. r. Watt, sheriff, and II.

was the hottest and most closely con-
tested election ever held in the county.

w. r. Wagstaff, of Paola, independent
Democrat, seems TO have been success
full by a small majority. Judge Stevens
made hard fight for the fourth term in
this Office. It was a triangular fight,
and Alden, of Wyandotte, the Republi-
can nominee, is third in the race. The
race was close one, the vote OF each of
the candidates being as follows: Wag-
staff, 1883; Stevens, 2,769; Alden, 1888.

GOOD ENOuGH

While the apathy which invariably
prevails among Republicans in an "oif
year" influenced to a notable extent the
result of the elections held on Tuesday
the Democracy have no special cause
for exultation over the outcome OF the
engagement. AS was to be expected the
Bourbons have carried Maryland and
Mississippi, despite the fact that there
is u very large prePonderance of Repub-
lican voters in the latter state. The con-
test in New York was very close, but the
state ticket is conceded 10 the Re
publicans by small majority.
The Readjusters have carried Virginia,
which is the worst possible misfOr-
tune which would have befallen the
Bourbon cause. In New Jersey the Re
publicans secure the legislature, which is
glory enough for one campaign. Penn
sylvania stood by the regular Republi-
can ticket as against a combination of
sorcheads; in Connecticut the Republi-
cans captured the legislature; Wiscon-
sin, in spite Of detection from the Re
publicans of $1,000 prohibition votes
is 80. K" for the party of great moral
IDEAS" while Minnesota, Massachusetts
and Nebraska all wheel into line with
good old-fashioned Republican MAORI
ties. In the language of Mr.. Silas
Wegg, "there amt nothing 10 be low
about" in the general result, so far as
the Republicans arc concerned.

Some days ago an item appeared in

Tucker, of Winfield, had been brutally
assaulted on the strccts,without warning,
by one A. ii. Green, who had taken ex

named gentleman, at a temperance meet
ing. the evening before. The paragraph
embodied representations set forth in a

and We supposed of course that they
were In accordance with the facts in
the case. But the accused party, Mr..
Green, informs us by letter that he has
been grossly misrepresented, claiming
that he did not strike Mr.. Tucker with
out warning, and that what he did in
the matter was not without just cause
and provocation. Having given Mr.
Green the benefit of his version of the
affair, we are willing TO devote an equal
amount OF space to Mr.. Tucker.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat figures
the standing of the National House of
Representatives ms follows, on the basis
Of the recent elections:
Regular Republicans, 146; Independ-
ent Republican. 1; Democrats, 1856;
Greenbackers, o, and Readjusters. 2. It
Is probable that the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith,
OF Brooklyn, who is the Independent
Republican, will vote with the regular
Republican, and IT so they will still
have majority of one over all the 9th
or elements combined, with the chance
OF picking up one or two more from the
Grecnbackers and the Readjusters. The
balance is a ticklish one, however, and
sudden death or other accident would
change the aspect of things.
