The black-mustaciied man, when Marshall asked him to divide, said Frederickson did not have as much money ns he thought, but that Marshall should take the team to some of the neighboring towns and sell it.

Marshall t'len went to tho stable and slept for awhile upon some corn shacks, and about six oclock he got tho team and went to Beloit. In regard to the two loads out of tho pistol found upon him, Marshall says ho fired them at a prairie chicken upon the road. When Marshall was telling his story he was cool and unconcerned as could be imagined, and said that he knew he had done wrong and was sorry five minutes after that he had had a hand in it, but showed no evidence whatever of contrition or sorrow.

Amusement seekers will bo glad to learn that tho proprietors of this famous establishment have announced their intention of exhibiting: hero.

It is hardly necessary to say much about an entertainment which for variety and magnificence lias no equal on tho continent. On this occasion, however, tho attraction will bo enhanced by a very Important addition. Mr. Cole, with his accustomed enterprise, has secured for exhibition two of the greatest curiosities of tho day the largest man and woman in the world, fir. Hates, tho male giant, is eight feet llgh, lacking inch, and his better half, who appears along with him, boasts exactly the samo number of leet of womanhood.

Tho couple have appeared before her Majesty, who was so much impressed by their appearanco that she presented his gianUlilp with a magnificent gold watch, valued at $1,000. This gift, it need hardly be said, is cherished by Mr, Rates ns his most valued possession. Half a ton represents the joint weight of this remarkable pair. But tho giants, wonderful ns they are and well able to exhibit ns separate show, arc only an item of the entertainment. There is the Circus, for which the services of the mot daring bare-backed riders and funniest clowns in America have been secured.

There is the man who catches the cannon ball shot worn a cannon. The performing Stallions. The Man of Fire who stands in a fui mice the heatof which bakes a fowl by ids side. The performing Alligators, etc. There is the Menagerie, comprising thirty-five cages, where most magnificent specimens of the wild animals Irom all parts of the world are seen.

And there is the Museum, filled with curiosities and monstrosities of every description. The whole which, it may be mentioned, always travels by rail, is conducted on a gigantic scale; no less than three hun-died horses and some two hundred men being engaged. From first to last tho performance is pure, healthy and en tertaining. Tv W. SMITH, DEN'J'I ST.Ofllco In lherson block, Main street, ATTORNEYS AT LAW.

POLITICAL OPINION. Water, son Squelches Hendricks. Gove nor Hendricks makes a very great mistake. It is a mistake, too, which is unworthy of his abilities and his character. He ought to know that ns a nomineo for President in 1880 lie is not a posibility.

His route to the White House can only be blazed by Mr. Tilden. Nothiug is, nothing can be, surer than this. Governor Hendricks is our neighbor. His friends are our friends.

Is services and in talents lie is the peer of the best. Under other coiuilions we should gladly support him for the first place in the gift of the Nation. But, as matters stand, he, of all men, has least show. If the old ticket is not renomiuated the party will go elsewhere fora candidaie. The nomination of Governor Hendricks over Mr.

Tildcns lrad would, in cficct, be to disgrace Mr. Tilden. It would be saying that Governor Ilcndricks'had done something which Mr. Tilden ought to have done. In point of fact this would not be true; and, in point of policy, the party could never be bi ought to perpetuate such Courier Journal.

A Connecticut View of Grant. For some reason, absolute confidence is not felt in the report which the gentleman traveling with General Grant has seen lit to send home concerning the latters intentions in respect to the Presidential nomination. The Grant movement continues to boom with undiminished vigor, and so far from feeling discouraged the Generals friends seem to have derived new inspiration. It is nevertheless true that the best citizens of this country, whose affection and admiration for him is qualified by a desire for the best interests of the country, hope that the report of his expressed purposo to decline a nomination is true, and that he is sincere in his purpose and will adheie to it. The best" wishes for General Grant are that his fame and character shall not again be subjected to the wear and tear of a political contest, but that he shall remain above both parties and beyond the influence ot political ambition.

Personally he has nothing to gain and everything to lose, so that it is unjust to him to endeavor to induce him to act coa-trary to his own wishes and judgment by the false cry that the country needs his strong hand to guide it, and may go to the dogs if he declines to serve as its President.

WASHINGTON NEWS. The following specials under date of 2ist from the Cincinnati Gazette Washington news, are of interest. DKMOCATIC REFORM The removal of the under officials of the Senate is rapidly progressing. On Saturday afternoon Jas. Fitzpatrick, Assistant Finance Clerk, was notified that his place would be wanted.

It is to be given to Mr. Newsom, at present Controller of the city of Memphis. The people of that city having discovered that the simplest way to pay their debts to Eastern creditors is to repudiate them, had the State Legislature repealed the law incorporating the city, and as the municipality has been destroyed by legislative enactments, and its debt with it, there would seem to be no longer any use for a City Controller. Accordingly Mr. Newsom is to be transferred to the charge of the Senate finances, as soon as he shall have learned the intricate responsibilities of that positon, in the capacity of assistant- It is probable that the Democrats will give notice to Mr.

Nixon, the Republican head of that office, that he also will not be wanted. D. R. KINSEY. JOHN CLARK.

A HORRIBLE MURDER AT CAWKER CITY. The following special despatch to the Leavenworth Times from Caw ker City gives a full accoJt of one of the most brutal and cold-blooded murders that everdisgraccd the State of Kansas: The perpetrator of the murder of the 17th at this place, was captured yeterday afternoon at Beloit, the team of the murdered man being found in his possession, and which he had been trying to sell.

The murderer is a young mulatto named Charles Marshall, twenty-one years of age, who was for two years past, until within the past four months, a porter at the Henry House, Abilene. He was found in the stable of the Avenue House when the officers discovered him, and offered no resistance to being ironed. He was perfectly cool and unconcerned, but without bravado, and seemed to be utterly incapable of realizing his position, or the enormity of tho crime with which he was charged. Shortly after his arrival an immense crowd gatherod in the hotel and threats of lynching wero freely indulged in, but after lingering arouud for two or taree hours the crowd dispersed although the muttering of the more determined of those gathered to catch a sight of the prisoner were deep, and evidently meant something more than talk. Your correspondent had an interne wvvith the prisoner last night talked freely and without reserve He said he was walking from ICirwin to Cawker when Frederickson the victim came along and gave him a ride.

He said he told Frederickson that lie wanted to go to Beloit and that be would give him fire dollars to take him there, to which the mur. dered man assented. They arrived at Cawker Tuesday evening, put up their team at a stable and went to a restaurant for supper. They drank a good deal and Frederickson got pretty full. At the restaurant Marshall says he met a black mus tacked man dressed in black clothes, whose name he didnt know, who asked him if Frederickson had any money, Marshall said he diint think he had, but tho man said he did have and made a proposal to him to decoy Frederickson down to the culvert a short distance from town, where he could fix him, rob him, and divide the spoils.

Marshall consented, and asked the victim to take a walk. They walked Tremont House, (FORMERLY EMPIRE,) Cor. Douglas and Emporia Avenues, (Two blocks west of Depot.) This house having been thoroughly repaired and retiltod, is now first-class in all its appointments. A iresh clean bed, and a palatable meal can he had at any time. Guests will re ceive every attention.

The National Democratic caucus over the action to be taken by Congress appears to have been an unusually frothy affair, in which our Senator Voorhees got to the front, as usual, and gave notice that he would faver wiping out the election laws with a sponge! The sponge is a favorite weapon with our Senator. He wa3 for wiping ut the Uaioa army, and then for wiping ut the national debt and then for wiping out the resumption act, and now he proposes to wipe out the election laws. If our Senator keeps on in this line he will come to be known as Daniel Wiper Indianapolis Journal (Rep.) EYNOLDS WELLS, Proprietors. Douglas Avenue, near the corner of Emporia Avenue. Work for the City Engineer.

Editor Herald: This is a good lime to look up the watered istrict of our city, for the purpose of giving relief to those, more particularly, living north Cential avenue. This lart of the city has no drainage, they being cut off by the railroad. In speaking to the City Engineer he informs me that all north of Central avenue can be drained east, to creek, making a more thorough drainage than any other part of the city. His idea is to commence the ditch on Main street, running on the north side of the Avenue across the railroad to connect tho ditch cut by the County east to the creek. The city worked Central avenue last; while it was greatly improved, it still holds water, there being but eight Inches fall in one thousand feet.

The clitchGs in all parts of the city, when first cut, carried off the water, but tbiough the action of the winds they are, in places, almost entirely filled with sand and rubbish. With a little work and keeping open the ditches our city can be thoroughly drained. The croakers can see what has been done on Main street the curb and gutter is a success. Last year at this time the ditches were an intolerable nuisance, while to-day the water runs through its entire length. Too much credit cannot be given to the City Engineer for the performance of his part of the work, which was executed in the most satisfactory manner.

Now, since the work is well done, it is the duty of some one to enforce tho ordinorree to keep the gutters open, free from paper and dirt swept from the stones. In looking over the south part of the city, I find one difficulty to overcome, and that is an outlet for tho water in the slough. The city has already gone to a heavy expence to drain into it, but unless the work is carried out as laid down by John W. Bear, City Engineer, the drainage will always be sluggish and for one-half the time the water backed up in the ditch cut back from the slough to English street. By a recent survey made by the Engineer he finds that the slough can be drained by cutting it out on an average of one foot deep and eight feet wide one and a half miles, at no great expense to the city.

Hellas Heard the News. Senator Beck has heard the news from Ohio. But a few weeks ago he was threatening the President of the United States with a stoppage ot his salary and all salaries unless he should sign certain bills now Mr. Beck meekly says that he hopes the President will not veto the bills, but if he should why, the party leaders will come together and talk the matter over. No doubt they will, and a very solemn little party it will be.

New York Tribune. The Republican "Victory in Michigan. The significance of the Republi-ean victory in Michigan appears when it is remembered that the combined votes of the Democrats and Nationals last fall was 25,536 larger than the total Republican vote. A change which wipes out 25,000 opposition majority and puts Republican majority in its place in the short period of five months, is great enough to make even a Democrat think. The causes for it are plain enough.

In the first place there are the cipher revelations and the confessions of the coparceners; in the second, there is the extra session and the Solid South, with the demand for a stuffed ballot-box on a penalty of a revolution. The Republican party is itself again. It sees a great duty before it, and it has no energy to waste on side issues, and no members who are foolish enough to fight against resumption after it has been secured. Smart Jim Blaine.
