TERRIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN MAN AND
WIFE .


James Deehan, stabbed his wife Alice during a
quarrel on the night of the 10Th inst in Phadcl-
phia, inflicting injuries which have since proved
fatal. Mrs. Dechan, who was So years of age
died, after great suffering, on Friday night last,
and her husband, who was terribly beaten by the
woman before inficting the death wound, is now
an inmate of st. Joseph's Hospital.
Tho fatal differences between Dcehan and his
wife were provoked by an extended spree in which
the former had been ndulging. He had been in
state of almost continued intoxicaton for SOW
oral weeks. While in this state he had printed 4
bundle of cards reading: "For Representative,
James Deehan, subject TO tho approval of the citi-
zers of the Fifteenth ward" which he distributed
among his friends and voters generally in that
district
On the 18th of juno the couple had retird to
their bedroom and began the quarrel which
proved their last. Michael J.. Hayden, their SON.
in-law, who reported the death of Mrs. Dcehan to
the coroner yesterday. states that the woman was
also intoxicated at the time. The bcIligcrents
limited their dispute for awhile to words, which
were loud and fierce, and easily heard by the
neighbors. Finally Mrs. Deelan became very
much enraged at something her husband said, and
selling the pitcher from the washstand dealt him
several well directed blows over the head until
the vessel fell, broken, out of her hand Mrs.
Rose Hayden, who was in the house at the time,
rushd to the room and attempted to separate her
parents. Her mother had hold of her father by
the throat, when she caught the mothers arm
The latter turned, and, being unable to shake the
daughters hold, she bit her in the arm near the
shoulder, taking out piece of flesh about two
inches square. The daughter thea let Co. and the
mother rushed at the husband, who made lunge
at her with keen edged table knife, the weapon
piercing her abdomen. The other inmates of the
house then rushed in and separated the angry and
badly lacerated pair. Deehan, whose scalp was
cut in several places and bleeding profusely, was
conveyed to the hospital, but his wife was too
badly wounded to BIO tax en- away from the house.
Her recovery was looked for at first but early
last week pertonits set in. She then began to
sink rapidly, and about o'clock on Friday even
ing she died. AS soon as she became aware of
her near approach to dissolution she declared to
her friends that she alone was the cause of the
quarrel and that her husband was altogether
blameless.

recognition of the man who made repudia-
ton possible in Virginia and whose PARTY

piled to the national as we'll rs to the State
debt, at the national republican convention,
was not only by the consent but at the in

Ar LIBERTY Governor has pardon

life.sentence in the penitenliary. In 1877
Mrs. Lawson was convicted of the murder
of her husband, David Lawson, in the county
of Rockingham, and sentenced to be hang
ed. Gov. kemper committed her sentence
to Imprisonment for life upon the recon
mendalion Of many leading and influential
men in the county of Rockingham. The
crime for which she was convicted was one
of the darkest that has stained the criminal
annals of our State. Anderson Shilllett, the
principal in the murder, has long since ex-
plated his crime upon the scailolG. Slas
Morris, II brother of Mrs. Lawson, who was
convicted rs being an accomplice in the
murder was pardoned by Gov. Cameron
during the first year of his term. The trial
of these parties took place in Harrisonburg
before Judge Charles Il. O'Ferral, and Judge
John Paul was the prosecuting attorney
The petition for the pardon of Mrs. Lawson
was strongly presented, and since the trial
grave doubts have arisen rs to whether the

The PRESENT political contest revives in
the breast of General Logan all the feelings
of the war. In addressing the people who
support him for the Vice-Presidency he con-
stantly reverts to war time, and tells them
that the interest they take in national al
fairs proves that they are periodically de-
and that which their lost comrades gave up
their lives to secure for the benefit of those
who survived them" But, though Mr..
Lowe, of Alabama, is dead, the General
never says word about his opposition to
the civil war just previous to its commence.

acting rs recruiting officer for the Confed-

Mr.. LOGAN, the republican and Malone
ite candidate for the Vice-Presidency, says
':the vitality of the declaration of 1776, that
all men are created equal and are entitled to
the inalienabe rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness broke upon him gradu-
ally like the light of the morning sun as he
rises in the misty dawn above the sleepy
mountain top" Mr.. Logan should have
said it broke upon him as suddenly as did
the light upon Saul on his way to Damascus.
One year Mr.. Logan was avowing himself a
slave catcher and prding himself upon that
fact, and the next he was fighting to set
the slaves free. There was nothing gradual
about Mr.. Logan's change of base.

IT IS hardly the way to promote the can
didacy of one man by the breaking down or
the detraction of another. For this reason,
and also for our personal admiration of Mr..
Bayard, we have said nothing but what was
fair and Just to him, as upon the ruin OF Mr..
Bayard's hopes we did not seek to lift MIR.
Cleveland into the nomination for the lresl-
dency. But now that some comparisons
have been instituted looking to the injury
of Governor Cleveland's chances for
nomination, we do not think it amss to
present some good reasons why Mr.. Cleve-
land should he nominated. Ourreaders are all
too we'll informed for us to trouble them with
a statement of the reasons for the necessity OF
New York's vote in the coming contest, and
they are also aware of the great effort that
will be made by the republican party
to carry that State for its candidate.
Mr.. Cleveland is strong where Mr.. Bayard
is weak, and is impregnable where any
other candidate would not have chance OF
success. He is platform of independence,
reform and craftsmanship in himself, and
but for few disappointed politicians and
sore headed aspirants for Office, is the choice
of all the democrats of the Empire State.
He has preserved a manly independence OF
thought and action during his whole term
as Governor, as though no thought inspired
him about the Presidency. He has made
no political combination that would OBJ
struct or impede the discharge of his duties,
but, on the contrary, where duty and policy
have conficted, he has invariably performed
the first, content to let the approval
of the people, rather than the COM
mendatiou of the politicians, be his re-
ward. His training as Governor OF New
York has fully and amply prepared
him for the discharge of more inn
portant duties, and the daily exercise OF the
functions of his office as Governor has
trained him for grarer and mightier re-
sponsibilites. He is rs pure and upright as
a man can be, the best testimony to his
worth being the incoutrovertible fact that
he has not consorted nor even consulted with
the most powerful but the worst class ofpoliti-
clans in his State, for personal advancement.
Those who assail him upon the ground that
he has been nothing but Governor of New
York forget that next to the Presidency
there is no higher office in the gift of any
portion Of the American people where rarer
qualities are required than the executive
chair of the Empire State.

Mr.. THOMAS p. CosTlGAN, a prominent
and reliable democrat of New York City,
who was delegate to the late Saratoga
convention, says:
"Inever came out of a convention so we'll
satisfied with its work or so confident of its
results upon the national party. Cleveland
has assuredly 6fty-four of New York's en-
tire delegation to Chicago. We have but
three more things to do now: Go to Chica-
20 to see Cleveland nominated; 60 to
Washington to see him inaugurated, and
send proxy OF. effete politicians-say Ben
Butler, Johnny O'Brien and Barney Bilgin,
to Maine to attend the political interment
of Jas. G. Blaine"
Mr.. Costigan will find, on the Sth proxi-
mo aud at the Presidential election, that a
large majority of the democrats of his own
State and of the people of the country are
of his way of thinking.
