MR.. BocoCK's CONSERVATISM.
His Rebuke to q FIrc-Eater in . Demo
cratic Congressional Caucus.

cratic Congressional Caucus.
(Lynchburg virginian.l
Mr.. Bocock held high rank as useful
and influential member of Congress.
While in principle Democrat, he was also
conservative, as well as just to his politi-
cal opponents. When our civil troubles
were eliminating during the last Congress
preceding the outbreak of the war. and
ed by the election of Lincoln and Hamlin,
made themselves offensive to southern
Democrats representatives of the "slaye
power" so-called.) especially, O certain
Democrat whom we shall not name from
the State of Arkansas, made a proposition
OF this nature in caucus of the party, say.
ing: IF you" (the Democratic members)
" will stand by me will shoot down the
first Republican who attempts to insult US
in debate on the floor of the House." That
proposition was promptly denounced by
Mr.. Bocock, who said substantially: such
Q course as that proposed would sound the
the other. And shall we, the represel IA
tives in Congress of q common count ",
assembled here for the purpose of 20
noting tho general welfare, ourselves ini-
tate revolution and civil war? We could
never excuse ourselves to tho country OF
the world for such conduct, while at the
same time we should deal severe blow to
representative government throughout the
world"
This secret of the caucus was revealed
to US by Mr.. Bocock himself many years
after the record of those troublous times
had closed. But the conservative influence
of one calm, elf-poised, courageous man
like Mr.. Bocock was seen in that and many

mouth-warm Appreciation.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
PORTSMOUTH, o.. August s.--The funeral
of Mr.. ID. f. Connell yesterday afternoon
was perhaps tho largest ever known IN the
history of our city. .,
Never was our community more shocked
than by this murder. General indignation
is expressed by the citizens and newspa-
pers over the negligence of the employees
Of the Pullman-Car Company.
HE WAS NOT FOLLOWED.
There is no foundation whatever for the
rumor that Mr. Council was followed by
some one from this city. He had no enemy
in all this region, and. so far as Is known.
mono in the world. No robber would have
followed him so far, rs apparently better
opportunities would have offered at Rose
Ridge. his beautiful suburban home, near
this city.
WARM APPRECIATION.
The people of this community express
warm appreciation of the kind and ten
der aid and sympathy extended Mr.. Con-
nell by good-hearted Virginlans.
The sad and touching incident has
warmed our hearts towards the Old
Dominion.
GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.
The murder of Mr.. Connell, says the
Staunton, Netrs, is one of the saddcst affairs
that has taken place in Virginia for years.
An eminently respectable gentleman
while sleeping in Pullman car was sud-
denly aroused from his slumbers and shot
without provocatIon. From reports of the
affair it appears that the murderer
roamed through the car doing as he
pleased. Frightened women screamed,
but this did not attract the attention
OF the car officials or deter the muir
derer from proceeding from berth to
berth until he found the man he killed.
After apparently taking all the time he
pleased to commit the crime the murderer
suddenly disappeared. So far the efforts
to capture him have proved futile. No
one seems to have any definite knowledge
as to who he was or what he looked like.
The Pullman car officials know less of the
whole affair than any one else.
The strangest part of tho whole matter
is how q murderer could raise such tu-
multi. commit crime, and suddenly dis
appear without the porters or Pullman
conduc tor knowing anything about it.
The story rivals western fiction.
A grave responsibility rests upon the
railroad company in this matter and it is
possible that they will be held for fnan-
cial damages.
At the same time it is the duty OF the
authorities of this county to ferret out the
murderer If possible. The probabilities
are that the crime will go UNPUBLISHED.
