AN ARKANsAN'S HEIllsHNESS.
Attempts the Murder of Husband
and Outrages a wife.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 2j.-The
particulars OF a most hellish crime, COM
mitted last night, mile or more south OF
this city, came to light to day. For some
time past worthy German family named
Ketchsr has cultivated asmall tract Of land
near the National Cemetery, raising veSe-
tables for the Little Rock market. The
husband is unusually we'll thought Of, AMI
it was not known that the family had an
enemy in the world. About nine o'clock
last night Mr.. KetCher heard q strange
noise outside of his house. and Immediately
ran out 10 ascertain the cause OF the
disturbance. He was greeted with
load of number seven bucSshot. Most
of the bullets took effect in his right leg, 1t
being shattered from the thigh to the ankle:
Although dangerously wounded heescaped
in the darkness, and at last reached
neighbCrs residence, where he reported
that he had been shot by an unknown per
son. This fearful crime did not end with
the shooting of ketcher, for the villain no
sooner found him gone than he entered the
house, and after beating his wife severely,
outraged her person in horrible manner.
She is positive that the man was negro
and can identity him il captured. Mr.
Ketcher is resting easier tonight, although
he is by 10 means out Of danger.

GRESHAM PLACED.
The General Ready TO lake Second
Place with Arthur.

NEW YoRK, December 25.-An Indiana
dispatch says: General Gresham has
written to several personal friends emphati-
cally declining to allow the use OF his
name as a candidate for Governor. This is
in harmony with the understood wishes OF
the General who is regarded as desiring, or
at least being willing to accept, the Vice
Presidential nomination on the National
ticket with P.-,sideut Arthur; and In the
event of the .ailure of Mr.. Arthur to be
nominated, tU be his heir for the first
plscs. II is Known that General Gresham
will not allow his name to be used in any
sense to antsgonize President Arthur, and
therefore sll tile talk OF his dearest friends
here is for Arthur snd Gresham; but the
attitude in wbich he stands to the Admin
istration and to the country is such that
he could readily become the heir to the
Administration strength, and it is plain
that this is the position which his shrewd-
friends desire for him."

WASHINGTON, December 25.-Representa-
tive Brown, of Pennsylvania, has prepared
and will offer in the House at the first oppor-
tunity proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition regarding the civil rights of citizens
of the United States. He thinks that his
proposition will meet the objections raised
by the Supreme Court, and it differs ma
terially from the measure introduced last
week by Senator Wilson, Of Iowa.
1t is provided that Congress
shall have power by appropriate
legislation to protect citizens of the United
States in the exercise and enjoyment OF
their rights, privileges and immunities,
whether the same shall be invaded by the
legislative, executive or judicial au
thority in State, or the neglect
to exercise such authority, or by
persons or corporations acting in violation
Of such authority, and to assure to all citi.
zeps the equal protection of the law. As
business has been tabooed by Congress till
January 7th, Mr.. Brown will llawait his turn
to bring his measure before the House.
