HORRIBLE TALE.
A Whole Family Murdered and Their
Bodies Burned.

MUwAUHEE, January ia spCcial to
the Hyujlicgn says horrible tragedy
occurred, iour miles from Oshkosh, TO
a wealthy German named NiskOw who
lives on farm. Last night his
neighburs discovered his barn
on fire, and on arriving on the ground
the barn, granary and house were dis
covered to have been set on fire and
locked. The daughter was discovered
lying near the gate bleeding from two
large gashes in her head and her clothes
partly burned. After the fire the re-
mains OF Mrs. Niskow were found.
Enough remained to show that her
throat had been cut from ear TO
ear. Suspicion had fastened on
MIR. VisRow, but his body has since
been found in the ruins OF the barn
burned beyond recognition. His family
relations ltad been unhappy. 1t ls
thought Niskow killed his wife and
daughter and fired the premises, meet.
ing his own death in the fire. The
daughter is insensble and will probably
die. Some Of the neighbors lay the deed
~ tr1mps.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-11-05

The elections next month in Vi
ginia and Mississippi attract larger
share of public attention, even. than
that in New York. In Mississippi a
man who has been a steadfast Demo-
crat, and who, in fact, now holds an
Office to which he was elected as a
Democrat, heads the fusion ticket.
The movement in Mississippi has
brought to its support many white
citizens of prominence, whose devo-
ton to the State and her interests
cannot fairly be impugned. The
candidates of the fusion Earty are
mostly Democrats, or rather men
who have been active members of
the Democratic party ever since the
rebellion. They believe the time
has arrived for a dissolution of the
solid South, and they see the impor-
lance, if not necessity. of division
of the white voters of the State and
local government. The necessity,
real or imaginary, which induced the
white men to vote together to pre-.
vent the denomination of the colored
race has resulted in political tyranny.
The whites who have ruled under
that dispensatiOn begin to believe
they possess divine right to power.
Those of the Democratic party who
wish to dispute this and assert their
independence have Joined in the
support of the fusion movement, and
| though the chances are in favor OF
Democratic success this year that will
not destroy the Independent party.
1t will rally and grow strong.
