Recently at Birmingham, Alabama, q

with his wife and two or three dien'
resided. They disappeared. and it was
said they had moved to some other city,
az members of the family had expressed
that intention. But last week the corpse
OF Hawes' daguhter and oldest child
was found floating on lake near the
city, and on dragging the lake the clti-
zeus found his wife heavily weighted
ana having on her person certain signs
of murder. Another child, the baby, il
still missing, AMI it il believed to be I'D
e.lake. HAYES was suspected, and It
was soon learned that be had gone to
Columbus, Miss, and married again,
and that lie was about to pass through
Birmingham with his bride on his way
to Georgia. Arrangements were made
to arrest him when he arrived there
which was accordingly done, aud his
grief-stricken bride returned TO Miss.
HAYES was jailed, and large msh
moved on the Jail in the night time TO
lynch him. The sheriff had a strong
guard we'll armed, and after the moi
was repeatedly warned without avail to

that he woiiisi have been lynched il he

THERE is Congressman from
New York who does not appear to
know whether he is Democrat or
a Republican. Two years ago Dir.
Fitch was elected by the Democrats;
this year the Republicans chose him
IS their representative. Under
which flag be will fight for the sue
ceeding two years seems to be a
question that neither he nor his
friends can determine. Perhaps he
will "sit on the stile and continue
to smile" ut both contestants in the
ring until he sees definitely on
which side his bread is buttered,
when lie can take the leap for con-
tinucd political life. Such is the

THIS Philadelphia Press raises a
CRY in behalf of reduction of the
tobacco tax, and urges Democrats
and Repu blicans to unite to bring
about that result. The CAPITAL
can see no good reason for reducing
the tax upon tobacco as long as bur.
dens remain upon clothing and 9th
er nscessaries of life. Tabacco is u
luxury to those VINO use II, aud
they can afford to pay for II; it is
an abomination to those who do not
use it, and these have right tp de-
mand the imposition of u fine upon
those whs affiict the public with
the nauseous fumes of bad cigars
or tobacco. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the recommendations of
the Press Will not be seriously en-
tertained by Congress.
