THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.--Tl
Message of President Arthur is d
creditable document and deserves the
careful attention of the public. No
similar document for many years has
been awaited with more universal in
difference, says the New York Tribune,
and there is danger that this lack OF
interest may prevent the thoughtful
consideration which the Presidents
many judicious observations deserve.
He opens with the customary review OF
foreign affairs, and this portion of tn,
Message, while lacking the firm grasp
of the subject which made the review
last year the strongest feature of his
first Message, contains considerable in
teresting information. On financial
subjects the President displays tn,
same clearness which was conspicuous
in his treatment of this question last
year. He agrees with the recommen
dAtions made by the Secretary of the
Treasury, whose report we have dis
eassed in another article. On thu
.qaention of reducing the large surplus
in the Treasury, his own views arr
that all internal taxes save those oI
distilled spirits can be prudently abro
gated. He thinks this abrogatiol
ceuld be accompanied by a simplifi' q
ton of the machinery of collection
which would save the Government q
least two millions and q half in salario
And retire 500 or 1000 officials fror
the service. He is opposed toa tois
abolition of internal taxes, because th
duties on imports alone are not sun
cient for all the needs of the Cover
Enept, and because such abolition woul

In accordance with its regular custom,
the INTELL1GENCER begins the repub-
lication of the views of the representa-
tive journals of its party in this state on
the approaching party convention and
what should be its policy in regard to
nominations and other matters affecting
the public interest. The first install.
ment of these will be found on our first
page to day and will be succeeded from
time to time by other reprints of a simi-
lar character, without regard to the
varying views of the newspapers on
men and measures. The INTELLIGEN-
GER has no special ends to serve, no in
terests to favor except those of the
whole party, and turns the grindstone to
whet no candidates axe. 1t believes that
the best thing for the party and for the
instruction of its delegates is frank
and free discussion in advance of all
matters that will come before them, and
to that the INTELLIGENcRR will con-
tribute its share. A late convention will
admit of more time for this. and that
time can be most profitably employed in
this way. We believe, as the Times rep
resents, that " the general sentiment
with the Democrats of the state seems
to he against hurrying the state conven-
tion. s"'ns da!e in Se,t,nber now

OVEl: THE OHIO FALLS.
Two Boats Capsized and their Occupa
Rescued by Life Saving Grow.

Two Boats Capsized and their Occupant:
Rescued by Life Saving CROW.
At Louisville there was an exciting
scene on the Ohio falls yesterday. Two
men started in a skitf from the Indiana
side, about a quarter of mile above the
head of the falls. The swift current bore
them rapidly down stream, and it was
soon seen that they were bound to go owe,
the rapids. Three of the life-saving
crew started in boat from tho Kentucky
side to save them, if possible. They
pulled with all their might, but could not
catch up with the boat until just as it was
going over the falls.
The fall there was six feet, and both
boats plunged over the dam like a flash
and capsized. The situation was now
thrilling, as the five men were struggling
in the swift current or clinging to the up
turned boats for their lives. At this
juncture the other lifeboat shot out from
the life-saving station, and was soon at
the scene of peril. 1t arrived just in time
to rescue the exhausted men. The boat,
with its occupants, then descended the
falls in safety. The scene was witnessed
by q large number Of persons on both
banks, and the bravery of the life.saving
men was generally commended.

seems to be a popular suggestion. /"
Although some Democratic organizers.
whose opinions are entitled to respect,
fear that late convention will not ad-
NIT of enough time to organize the party,
we submit that the best system of Or
ganization is that which gets the party
ready to move at the word of command
and with promptness for any candidates
who may be named. If every local Or
ganization is put into good shape at
once the general work Of the campaign
can be done better in two months than
if dragged over four or five, and the
army tired with marching come upon
the battle field exhausted and worn
out.

REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
The County Pot Begins to IsoiI.

The County Pot Begins to lsoil
The Republicans are already getting
ready for another primary election. There
is congressman to be nominated this year.
and Hon. A. Herr Smith is to have no op
position. For state senat or in the upper
district desperate effort will be made to
elect John NJ. Stehman over C. s. Kauff-
man. Members of the Legislature are to
be chosen, and all tho cd candidates are
expected to be IN the field. or new men
in the upper district Hayes Grier's
Columbia Herald nOminates Percy Z.
Shoch, Of the Marietta Register, be-
cause "he is = plucky little devil.
and would make a good member, and
would not submit to boss dictation.'
Among the new ones in the lower end
are Milton Heidelbaugh, Of Bart, and
Henry Worst, jr., of salisbury, each Of
whom is pretty certain to have tho dele
gates from his respective district to handle
in the county convention. should the
''new rules" DO adopted. John II. Fry,
who immortalizsd himself by presiding
81 brilliantly over a meeting of return
judges will run for county solicitor aud
Levi Ssnsening's old nag, Ben Longeneck-
er, already enters himself in the race for
recorder.
Jury commissioner, poor directors aud
prison inspectors are to DO chosen as
will as delegates to the state convention,
and that each side will have its set
up is apparent from the fact that the
New Era faction, &C. Kennedy, secretary,
have appointed committee of ono from
each district "fOr the furtherance of the
the Republican party and to secure full
nd or syotin in, tho S,,ko
of the people at tho coming primary
election Which committee of 7a''
(nOt Of the 1872 campaign) is to
meet in the Neu Era office next
Monday forenoon. The Examiner de-
clares that a confidential circular to this
effect has been sent to d select circle Of
" "bosses " who are to attend to whipping
in the voters Of their districts for
such "ring' candidates as the central
reformers. "Levi," Picayune johnson,
"Clem," Ed. Martin, Geist and the thrifty
Mr.. Warfel may set up.
The Republican chairman in his call for
the primaries appOrtions delegates under
the proposed new rules, as already set
forth in the 1NTELLIoENCER; and, without
making any arrangements for a meeting
of tho return judges under the old rules in
case the new rules are not adopted, he
calls the county convention for Wednes-
day, May at 10 q. m., all the same as ii
the new rules were already in operation.
Should the new rules fail. as may hap
pen, some trouble might be experienced
in conforming this call to the circumstances
of the case.
The call asks tho voters to "vOto in
structions to the delegates to state conven
ton as to their choice for supreme judge"
without any reference tOtheir right, under
existing rules, to vote instructions on all
state nominations.
Under the call as formulated the mem
Der of the Legislature from this city is to
be nominated at tho same time and in the
same way rs other nominees.

A MURDER UNEARTHED.
How u German Farmer was Killed ny I
Women and his Body Burned.

How II German Farmer was Killed ny two
Women and his Body Burned.
A tragedy has just been unearthed at
Ahnapee, Wis. In 1878 the remains of
John Goettinger, wealthy German, was
found burned in his house. A young man
named Jacob Kozins now comes forward
and testifies as follows 1.-THE last time I
saw Goettinger alive was in Blalinck' S
meadow on Saturday evening, July 20,
1873, about or O'Clock. There were
present at that time Mrs. Rlainock, Mrs.
Goettinger, Goettinger and myself. Just
before this Blalinck and hired girl had
gone home. We were raking hay. Goet-
finger was talking to his wife and daugl,-
ter, but l did not know what was
said as l did not understand German.
I was raking hay and did not stop work.
When they were fuarreling 1 saw Bla-
linck's wife stick a pitchfork into Goet
finger about the belt. While she had the
pitchfork in him Mrs. Goettinger struck
him on the head with a fork. They held
him down and covered him with hay. I
was SO frightened that l became uncon-
scious. Twas only fifteen or twenty steps
from them at the time. Nothing was said
to me about the murder and in about half
an hour we all went home. After arriving
homo Blalinck came to me and threatened
to kill me if ever told of it. That night
l saw Blalinck and his wife go into the
meadow. The following night saw them
go toward Goettinger's house and soon
after saw the house in flames. I swore
to a lie at the inquest when said know
nothing of the affair, because was in fear
Of Blalinck."
