A Horrible Discovery.
[NachitOches Retiesc1

Mr.. j. C. johnson, from near Prud-
hOmme's station, in this parish, kindly
furnishes the Review the following de-
tails Of discovery that is suggestive Of
a mysterious and horrible crime:
Last Saturday morning one of the rail-
road hands and boy were fishing in Old
River near the station, when they dis
covered mans foot stick mp from under
the water. Procuring the assistance
Of several parties they succeeded in drag
ging to shore the feet and leg bone of Q
white man. The legs were tied together
by a rope and a thirty-pound chain.
They could find moth ing else Of the body
except an arm, but recovered q part Of
all the clothing, which was as follows:
Coat, pants and vest, all alike, Of healy
material black and brown mixed, white
top shirt and knit undershirt, and white
cotton drawers. A pair Of congress gai-
ters which were nearly new. No. s or 6, q
small black cuff button q small wooden
pipe, anda red cotton handkerchief COM
pleted the list of articles found with the
body. There were no papers or other
thing by which the identity Of the body
could be established.
Mr.. JOhson thinks that the body had
lain where it was found for six or seven
months, and states that the chain found
with it was taken from his store near
the place about six months ago, About
the time that the chain was stolen, an
old man by the name of Denis Oats was
robbed by a gang Of negroes, who Knocked
him senseless and left him for dead on
the railfoad track. Five negroes were
arrested charged with the crime, two
OF whom were convicted at the December
term Of our court and each senten-
ced to ten years in the penitentiary,
where they are now serving their
term.
Their names are Thomas Samuels and
Ben Pierson, and Mr.. johnson thinks it
very likely that they also murdered this
man, about the same time and threw
the body in the river. 1t is impossible to
conjecture who the man was or where he
came from, as no one in that neighbor-
hood Is missing. We hope and believe
that the mystery will be solved, and the
guilty parties punished for their horrible
crime.

whose brilliant victory 1872 years ago next
mouth Is in part commemorated by the

and the lust Of power at whatever cost,
the more 1t will be disposed to keep Mari.
borough In his proper place Of a military
genius without conscience.
Marlborough was essentially a trader
and a huCkster. Before he had any other
marketable commodity he traded sue
cessfulIy, however UNANIMOUSLY, on his
rare manly beauty. He traded on tho
favor Of his royal master James and in
that unhappy Sovereign's extremity de.
serted him for the rising star Of Orange.
He traded on the idolatrous love Of Anne
for his wife. He cooked his army accounts
and drew pay for men who had died be.

until his brilliant military career, his
plau1ibility as a Courtier, hiS overmRster.
Ing avariCo and his increasing p%arslmony
had made him the richest subject In
Europe.

Republican Conference Mt f"FNU'Hn"'s'
The Republican clana are gathering Nt
Pukersbnrg for to'day'a conference. No
body knows what is going to be done
there-perhsps nobody has a very clear
idea what is going to be proposed to be-
done. This ia because there ia no cut and
dried programme. The State Executive
Committee, in response to what is con
ceiyed to bs the desire OF West Virginia
Republicans, has invited them-al! Rspub'
llcsns withou! distinCtiou-to come to-
pether and cOnsult with the iull state
Central Committee.
This consultation ought to bring out the
condition Of the party in the several Leg
islaliye diLlricts, the sentiment OF Repuo'
llcans touching the questions oithe day
plans Of procedure and the like IL 10
not expected that any new policies VIII
be declared in The party name' A gather
ing Of this nature is not q body OF delegat-
I'd powers; It's declarations can only DO
advisory and will hardly assume q formal
character.
1t is a good thing for the brethren to
meet together and compare views, fully,
freely, Informally, in which respects the
Conference has some advantages over the
Convention. The INTELLIGRNcER hopes
that those who attend will speak their
minds freely, so that those VINO may be in
podlions Of responsibility in the organi'
ton may have tho helpful guide OF the
popular will Of tho party.
