tion are in favor of enfranchising the
blacks, and of giving to them all the
privileges that the white man now en-
joys in exercising the right of suffrage.
This question is now fairly put and is
at issue between the candidates in this
contest. The ticket headed by James
Burley is in favor of negro suffrage, and
the one headed by Sherard Clemens is
opposed to it. The voters Of Marshall
will in few days have an opportunity
to decide this matter for themselves,
and when the votes are counted and the
result proclaimed, the verdict will be
that this is a white mans government,
and must be governed by white men. l
know that the great majority of the cit
izens of this county will never cast their
votes for any man who directly or in
directly favors negro suffrage, and after
this election is over it will be seen and
known that no man can ever be elected
to any Office from this county who IA
vOrs it.


Senator Burley has always been con-
sidered an abolitionist in this communi-
~, aud il is not to be wondered at, that
he willingly accepted the nomination for
the Senate frou: convention that favor
ed negro suffrage, and as he is the head
center of the Republican party i'll this
county, and the main wire worker and
manager of that concern, it is fair TO
presume that this negro resolution was
gotten up and passed at his instance,
and it is right and proper that the vo-
ters of this Senatorial district should
know that he is in favor of negro suf-
frage. The two Radical candidates for
the Legislature also stand fully commit
ted on this negro programme, Tor they
are the candidates of that Convention
and are bound to support tho platform
adopted by it. There can be no mistake
in this matter. Burley, Armstrong and
Furganson are the candidates of a con-
vention that passed resolution favor
ing negro suffrage; hence they are its
advocates. Clemens, Alexander and
Gray are opposed to negro suffrage in
every shape and in every form. Voters
of Marshall, this matter is now before
you, dispose of it as may best suit your
tastes and interests.


The Conservative candidates are in
favor of economy and retrenchment in
the financial affairs of the county. They
will labor to turn out of office at least
nine out of ten of the office holders of
the State and county who are now eat
ing out the substance of the people and
reducing the salaries of those who are
retained. They will tax all kinds of
property belonging to corporations, as
we'll as to individuals, according to its
value, and fer taxing government bonds
and paying them off with green backs as
soon as possible, thus reducing the taxes
of the people about one hundred and
thirty millions of dollars annually.
Veters of Marshall, can change in your
votes make yodr situation any worse !
Can your taxes be any higher, or the
burthens of your government be more
oppressive1 Certainly not. Try then,
Clemens, Gray, and Alexander, and my
word for it if you send them to the Leg
islature you will find them laboring in
season and out oe season, to make it
more convenient for you to meet the
demand of the Sheriff when he calls up
on You for taxes hereafter.

The defeat of equal suffrage in Ohio
is disgrace and humiliation TO the Re-
publican party, not only of that State,
but the whole country. The petty vic.
tory in electing the State ticket is small
compensation. There are no excuses or
palliations 10 be offered. The Republi-
cans of Ohio have declared that they do
hot believe in equal suffrage as right.
They are willing to aid in forcing it up
on the South, in order to secure loyal re-
construction and Republican ascendau-
cy in that section, but they deny it to
their own colored citizens, because they
feel strong enough without their votes
This is the whole case, and there are
no means of warding of the derision
and contempt it provokes.-Sprinafe.d

Wednesday evening, about seven O'Clock, q
deliberate murder OF q wife was committed at
street. The victm was Susan Miller,a colored
servant In the family of Mr. Tsvis, wife Of Jas.
Miller, Kennel Square. in Chester county. Sac
had been married some ten or twelve years,
but had fer the last year or two been living
separate from her husband, because Of i'll
treatment. He is q resident Of Kennel Square,
and is said to have been farming at one time,
and latterly engaged In school teaching With.
In few months pest he has visited the city
several times, his ohiecs being either to obtain
her consent to live with him, or, failing in
that, to procure divorce. Wednesday he
came to the city and the wife went with him
to see lawyer to have the necessary papers
drawn up for final separation. 1t
seems, however; that this purpose was
house of Mr.. Tevis in the afternoon between
three and fou. O'Clock, and about half past six
he made his appearance. She was engaged
with another servant in washing dishes, and
he entered int onvereation with her in re-
spect to his proposition to take her home.
She persisted that she would not 60 back to
Kennel Square with him, giving as q reason
that he had treated her very badly before,
and she feared that he would do so again. At
this time he seemed very calm, and showed
no disposition to commit any violence. She
wished him to SIT down and have something
to eat, but he declined. After he had been
nearly quarter Of an hour in the Kitchen
his manner changed, and he said In a deter.
mined tone IsSusan, I'll give you five
minutes to make up yonr mind 70 live with
me or not" She replied that she had already
done SO, and that sbe would not 60 back.
just at this time he was seen to draw a re.
volver from his coat pocket, take deliberate
aim, and discharge it at her. In rapid sue
cession fve barrels were discharged, two or
three OF them apparently taking effect. She
caught hold of the servant woman close to
her, and tried to support herself, and at this
moment one or two of the discharge, took
place. The other servant was not struck by
the balls. Susan Miller very soon fell to the
floor, ard death was almost instantaneous
One OF The loads had passed through her
head, and probably one through the body.
AS soon as Miller had finished his murderous
work, he laid herevolver upon a dining table,
and walked hurriedly out Of the basement
doorway into Locust street, and escaped be-
fore the ne ws Of the murder had reached the
police or the citizens. The detectives were
early on the spot, and meas ures were taken to
secure the arrest of Miller, who was thought
TO be in the city. He is represented to be
about thirty five years old, of medium size,
and genreeIy dressed. The murdered woman

In the battle of Franklin, November,
1864, Capt. George G, Biddulph of com.

was hit by something supposed at the time
TO be piece of shell, from its effects upon
the captains head. His left eye was en-
tirely destroyed, his left ear deatened, his
jaw so fractured that to this day it is i'm
possible for him to open his mouth only
partially, his cheek bone fractured, a hole
made upon the left side of the nose where
something had gone into the head, one
large tooth on the upper jaw split in two
and half of it gone, and another large
double tooth turned half way round. He

although suffering much from his wound,

he felt severe pain in his throat and
raised considerable blood, and, after few
hours of suffering, coughed up rough and
battered ounce bali, which was as ragged
as cinders from the furnace, and measured
over an inch in length and three-fourths of
an inch in width. Upon an examination
of the throat, il is found that this ragged
mass of lead had cut its way from behind
/ the throat into the throat, about an inch
below the palate. Were the ball smooth,

ball is battered and torn, with sharp points
