ner, and the suggestion Ia ut the Same time
made that the democracy, or what sup

ton thereof, refuse to cooperate hereafter
Ia any particular or at any time, with
what is not as rcdheaded and violently
democratic as itself, or, in other words,
smells of indepcndentism. Such articles
and suggestions are extremely intemperate
and unwise. The present delegation from
Texas, or rather the delegation to
the forty-eighth congress, is al
most without exception an unus'
ually able one and representative Texans.
In all matters pertaining to the welfare of
the state or any part thereof, 1t may be
stated as a fact that such men will be found
voting and working actively for the people
of their state regardless OF local questions
or differences. The time has not yet ar
rived for division Of the state, and the re-
cent census and consequent reapportion-
ment have placed Texas for the first time in
its history upon plane in Federal politics
where it can exert an influence and accom-
plish something for itself in the halls OF
congress. The delegation however, can
not do this if they go to Washington at war
among themselves; if they permit bourbon
influences or petty jealouses and en-
mites to prevent hearty co-opera-
ton all round in furthering
any and every measure calculated to bene.
fit the state at large, or any district of the
state. In union and unanimity of thought
alone will there be strength, and to carry
out the idea of the correspondent referred
to before would be to destroy everything.
Whatever may be said of Mr. OcHILTREE,
it is certainly to be hoped that he will have
influence in Washington and exert it con-
stantly, not only in behalf of the district
and people he represents, but Texas as
whole, and it will PROFESSIONALLY be of
greater advantage to the state that he and
the remainder of the Texas delegation
work in harmony, than that they should
inaugurate foolish estrangement
and antagonism which could not
be beneficial to either. We are quite salts
fed that we voice the senti-
ment of North Texas at least
when we express these views. Indeed, so
antagonistic to the ideas of "Damoces" is
the sentiment of every one with whom we
have conversed on the subject in this city
that the suspicion is quite general that the
communication in question never emanated
from democrat at all, but from a green
hacker or republican. The Hon. JOHN
HANCOCK has won the highest praise for
the manly conduct OF his canvass, all
through which he took from the first and
maintained to the last the purest of demo-
cratic doctrines. The hattering vote and
large majority which he received
are evidences of al once The
high personal esteem and political
regard in which he is held in his
district, and the same manly course which

A Wealthy German Kills His Wife and
Cuts His Own Throat.

The most horrible Of all the long list Of do
nestle tragedies in Kentucky, 1.-THE dark and
bloody ground" occurred In Louisville Wednes-
day. On Saturday last an old and wealthy Ger
man named John Trinler, accompanied by his
vie, came to Louisville TO attend TO some legal
matters. and took rooms with q family named
SEEMING. Fer the past three years the couple
had lived in Chicago, but were formerly resi-
dents o! New Albany, Ind, directly across the
river from Louisville. They appeared TO live
happily together, and not tie slightest cause
can be found for the bloody scene. The Trinlers
occupied rooms on the third floor of Senning's
house, and Wednesday morning the family was
startled by a loud noise and a woman's screams
Tor hep. SEEMING rushed up stairs. and went
TO the bath room. whence the cries proceeded
As he reached the door il suddenly flew open

into his arms. with the blood flowing in tor
rents from her wounds. Hastily laying her
on the floor. SEEMING attempted TO enter
the bath room, but the door was yo-
lently slammed in his face. Turning. he started
down the stairs for help. and soon returned
with two policemen. AS the party entered the
hail a terrible crash was heard. and presently
the bloody body of the butchered woman came
tambing down the stairs. She had dragged
herself to the head Of the flight and rolled down
Alter lying motionieSs a few moments she rot
up and alked TO the kitchen. where she made
signs for a washbasin. While the latter was be-
ing brought she expired. The men then went
upstairs and cautiously approached the bath
room. for they expected to find armed and
raving maniac. But everything was still and
pushing open the door. the scene of the tragedy
lay before them On the floor was a pool of
blood two feet in diameter. and paper bed
clothes. and furniture were spattered with the
fluid. Just inside the door lay the body of John
lrnler, almost nude, covered with blood and
perfectly lifcless. Around him was another
pool of blood larger than the first. His throat
was cut nearly in two. both jugulars and his
wind pipe being entirely severed In his
cienched fist he held a razor, and at his side
lay milestone. The room was in the widest
disorder and showed unmstakabIe signs of the
terrible struggle. From reliable sources il is
learnedthat Trinier was worth over $50 900 and
had come to Louisville to organize bank: that
nephew, who was sort offlnanclal agent had
proved unworthy of trust. and that financial
embarrassment was the result. This is sup
posed to have caused mental arrangement, and
led to the tragedy.
