So far, Maine, Ohio, Oregon, Yer
mont and West Virginia have elect
ed Representatives to the next Con-
gress. Allowing the Republicans
eight members from Ohio, the States
named have elected fifteen Demo
Gratis and seventeen Republicans.
In the present Congress those States
are represented by eight Democrats,
twenty-five Republicans and two
Greenbackers. Thus far, therefore,
the Democrats have gained seven
members and the Republicans have
lost five, while the Greenbackers
have ceased to be a known quantity
Looking to the future, Republican
journals anticipate the loss of a Con-
gresham in Wisconsin, in Minneso-
ia, in Massachusetts and in New
Jersey. The two Congressman gain
ed by the dominant party in the
present House by unseating South
Carolina Democrats will, it is
thought, be lost in consequence Of
redistricting. The auguries for New
York and Pennsylvania are by nc
means favorable to the Republicans.
In the event of the next presidential
election being thrown into the
House of Representatives, Ohio
would give her vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate.

River and harbor appropriations
since the foundation of the govern
ment amount to 1921, 032, 1854, OF
which nearly one-third, s39, 1865, 275,
were made in the last three years.
Eastern rivers and harbors have re-
ceived S23, 1902, 178, of which Massa-
chusetts has had the largest share.
Southern States, including half the
Mississippi appropriation, have re-
ccived S24,O17,2 79, and the Western
States and Territories, S33, 416,132.
OF the appropriations in the last
three years, s7,35O,OOO has come
East, SIS, $4,000 gone to the South,
and sic, 100000 West. The Phila-
delphia Press Republican, thinks
that "the lavish expenditures in the
past three years, while the past ten
have seen the expenditure of more
than half ever spent, are the best
possible proofs ofthe Generalization
wrought by large revenue and
lax party responsibility"

HE M0RRfsTowN gazette, OCTOBER Is. 1872.

Col. A. W. .Slayback, prominent
lawyer and well known politician
of St. Louis, was shot and killed by
John A. Coekerell, managing edi-
tor of the Post Dispatch, on the
18th. Col. Slayback with a friend
entered the editorial room and after
demanding Mr.. Cockerell to retract
an editorial article offensive to him,
placed his right hand in his pistol
pocket, when he was shot ana al
most instantly killed by CockerelI.
The fact that Col. Slayback's life
was insured for $4,000 has caused
the insurance men of st. Louis. to
take more than usual interest in the
trial of Cockerell. They hold that
if it is proven that Col. Slaybrook
went into the editors room armed
with Il pistol and threatening in his
demonstrations, that the insurance
companies will not pay the money
to which the family are supposed to
be entitled. Col. Slaybrook's friends
deny that he was armed.

ughbred gentleman. While his
courage of late has been put to the
crucial test and proven true as steel,
recontre and alteration were dis
tasteful to him, and it was by una
voidable circumstances and natural
ties that he was led to take life.
His life has been a stormy one for a
spirit so young, and his derelictlons
have not been toward truth, honor,
integrity and courage.
The funerals of General Mabry
and son occurred at 10 a. m. and the
funeral of Major O'Conner at p.
m Saturday Both were the largest
ever seen in Knoxville. Business
was almost entirely suspended in the
city during both occasions and the
streets were crowded at every point
the cortege passed The Mabrys'
funeral procession was full a mile in
length and O'Conner's nearly twice
as long.

discarded places as the eiPhers Of
little or no Fnlue in the old Demo
cratic party-certainly no value
then, compared to that you might
make yourselves now, by a manly
surrender Of your independent or
ganization and return to the old
one-either you will have to do this,
or else become a permanent little
faction with no national party -affili-
atoms whatever-a mere tool in the
hands of the Black Republicans of
the State, as at present, with which
they may try to secure an occasion
al ascendency. Are you prepared
for this? DO you covet the honor
of a petty factional existence?
Would you really rather "rule in
hell than serve in heaveng If so,
then you are not the men we took

Two years ago Maj. Pettibone had
his canoe tied on the great steamer
4" Garfield that powerful vessel
got up steam in this district and
pulled the Major through. Garfield
is dead now-murdered by a stall
wart Republican for the good Of
the Republican party" There is
no "bOOm" going on here. The
people are cold and careless. The
men who fought the battle for Pet
tibone two years ago, are not fight
ing for him now. Where is Gillen-
waters? Where is Rule /? Where
is Heuk? Where is Judge Ran
dolph? All these men and a dozen
others were on the stump two years
ago, waving the bloody flag and
begging the people to vote for Maj.
Pettibone. They are silent now.
There is no one to raise the bloody
shirt" except. the Major himself
therefore the canvass is running
low-there is no "boom" going on
and Bob Taylor is going to Con-
gress.

PROGRESS OF ARABI'S TRIAL

CAIRO, Oct. 21.-Very little docu
mentary evidence has been adduced
in the examination of the rebe
prisoners, beyond the filing of Arabs
official journal, published in Cairo
during the campaign. Arab adj
mitted nothing, nor initiated his col
leagues in seeking to throw the
blame on others. According to the
agreement between Bradley and
Napier, Arabs counsel and the
Government lawyer In regard to the
course of procedure, the English
counsel will have access 70 Arab
and the right of recalling witnesses
for the prosecution for cross exam-
ination, of calling witnesses for the
defense, and of examining the evil
dsnce given during the preliminary
investigation. The counsel expect
that the Egyptian Government will
appoint several additional members
on the court-martial who will be
able to speak English, and will gem
orally take steps to raise the pro-
ceedings to the dignity of a great
State trial.

A DREAM YERIEIED.

Nashville World One of thu
most remarkable instances of the
verifcation of a dream was realized
in the triple fatality, which occurred
in Knoxville, yesterday. On We'd
nesday Messrs. Hooper Harris, S.
III. Bell and r III. Stannard, were
sitting in front of the office of the
Tennessee Brokerage Association,
when the subject OF dreams was
preached. The first named ofthese
gentlemen said that he had, on the
night previous, had a peculiar dream
to the effect that Gen. Mahry and
his son had been killed in a street
difficulty at Knoxville by Major
Thos. O'Conner, who was himself
killed. When the terrible news
came from Knoxville yesterday Mr..
Harris narration of his dream re-
Cured with startling force to the
gentlemen who heard it, and the
story Of the dream, and its vertical
ton was common talk ON the streets
yesterday. The incident becomes
even more remarkable when 1t is
known that Mr.. Harris was not
aware Of any unpleasant relation
existing between the parties.

John Randolph once voted for a
man that he did not speak to. The
vote was cast under the old Uird
uc~e system and when Randolph's
name was called for the antipathetie
candidate, the fellow walked up and
offered his hand to Randolph who
declined IL with the remark: i
am not voting for you, sir; ] am
voting for my party" 1t viii be
well for this to be borne in mind by
some of our Democratic friends in
in the coming election.

HARPER,s M4GAzLNE

For November, concluding the sixty
fifth volume of that periodical, is d
brilliant number. Naturally, as a
consequence of the immense popu-
larity of Miss Constance Fenimore
Woolsoh S "Anne," the most promi
nent feature of the number is the
commencement Of a new novel bu
the same author, entitled "For the
Major. The opening chapter of
the story is characterized by those
qualities which have given Miss
Woolson a foremost place in Ameri-
can fiction, and the new novel
promises to be stronger as a work of
art than "Anne. The leading
article of the number, "The Early
Quakers in England and Pennsvi-
vania, is timely in connection with
the approaching celebration of the
two hundredth anniversary of vii
liam PENIS landing at New Castle.
This pape, wholly apart from its
timeliness and the effective pictorial
illustrations contributed by the au-
thor, is important for its historical
value. William ID. Howells con-
tributes q poem of considerable
length--more ambitious than any
thing hitherto attempted by the
author in this field-entitled "Porde-
none"-a dramatic representation Of
the conflict between Titan and an
eminent fiesco painter of his time,
Giovanni Antonio Licinio. The
poem is accompanied by an illustra-
ton drawn aby Fredericks. Mr.
William Hamilton Gibson's charm
ing paper, "Across Lots, is accom-
panied bythirteen exquisite engrav-
ings from the authors drawings.
Mr.. Gibson also contributes the
frontispieee illustration for this num-
Der, entitled sReverie, and en-
graved by Mr. King. There are
two full page illustrations by Abbey
illustrating poems by Herriek.
William Henry Bishop contributes
a second paper on Southern Cali
fornia-devoted to truthful and
interesting description of the San
Joaquin Valley, and beautifully
illustrated. Miss Ellen -Mackay
Hutchinson's poem, "The Brides
Toilette, is bold and original con-
ception, and is Illustrated by
Thulstrup. All who have read
Lorna Doone," the greatest ro-
nance of this generation, will read
with eager interest Miss Kate Hill
lard's article, "Ehe Home of the
sDoones, describing the places on
the North Devon coast associated
with the legends of the Doones and
Tom Faggus. The article is effec-
lively illustrated. Alice G. Howe
contributes a beautiful description
of Manchescer-b y-the-Sea (Massa-
chusetts) ia autumn, illustrated by
George Appleton Brown. Mr.. W.
Sloane Kennedy, in "The Vertical
Railway" gives for the first time
the history of the passenger eleva-
tor and its improvements. Pro
fessor John Fiske contributes a
truthful and exceedingly interesting
picture OF Virginia society in the
Colonial period. In "The Problem
of Livingin New York" Mr.. Junius
Henri Browne treats the subject of
New York homes, with especial
reference to recent developments in
the construction of flats and CO.
operative apartment houses. Poems
are contributed by Will Carleton,

If Maj Pettibone can get a pen
sion for any soldier just by calling
at the pension office and directing
one to be issued, why is it that there
are so many poor fellows going
abort without a pension? There
are hundreds of Federal soldiers in
this Congressional District whose
petitions have been on file in the
pension office at Washington for
months and years. Some Of these
poor fellows are unable to work and
are in great need. Why does Maj.
Pettibone neglect them? His friends
seem TO claim that he can get pen
sion at any time. Why does he Sc
lect a few men here and there and
neglect the great number who are
equally deserving? We will tell
YOU. This whole thing is a hum
bug and Maj. Pettibone has never
procured a pension for any body.
The Department at Washington ex-
amines all the petitions in regular
order and Pettibone has no more to
do with the pension Office than any
other citizen of the First Congress
ional District. Those who are talk
ing so much about this pension mat
ter are simply running Maj. Petit
bore for Congress on false pretenses.
The Government appoints officers
and pays them to attend to pensions.
Members of Congress ought to at
tend to public business for which
they arc paid-and if they do that
they have their hands full Every
deserving soldier will receive his
pension in due time, and Pettibone
is utterly powerless in the matter.
