A Fostmnsfcr W Mi a Conscience.
Postma-ter Genera! Key hai given
a devout postmaster in North Caro
lina thirty days in which to reconcile
his conscience with his official duties.
A. railroad passes through the town in
which this purson is postmaster. The
business of the town requires that the
mails shall be made up on Sunday and
put upon a train which passes through
on that day. The ollicial declined to
make up tho mails on the
Sabbath. The department ordered
him to do it or to vacate the otlice.
Thereupon the official wrote a letter
to Mr. Key saying that he had been
postmaster for ten yiars, and that lie
was a member of the church, and had
moral scruples about doing ni:y work
on the Sabbath. He asked that a
month be given him to consider the
subject, at the end of ..which ho would I
either make up the mail or resign. !
Mr. Key granted the request. Before j
thirty days have elapsed Horace May-
nard will take Key's place in Mr. j
Hayes' ciiMnet. Maynard is a deacon 1
in the church of the denomination of
which the postmaster is a member.
Ho is therefore qualified to settle the
question.

Murder and Suicide.
IIOKRIBLB t'RtME - AT TUB LITTLE
TOWN OF HATH.
Bath, N. Y., Aug. 15. Between
four and five o'clock yesterday after
noon, R. E. Tarkurst killed Miss
Fannie Howell and then committed
suicide by shooting himself. The
cause of the tragedy is the report that
Parkurst was married to Miss Howell.
The story now Is that four years ago
they went on fin excursion with
others to Pen Yan, and while there
left their companions and went to a
minister and wps secretly married, but
it is said her parents refused to ac
knowledge the marriage, rnrkurst.it
is said, was poor and the young lady
rich. He, it is also said, was away for
some time. He returned and it is
thought that in an interview yes
terday he grew desperate and she re
fused to live with him, when the
terrible double tragedy was the result.
The sole cause it is thought was the
trouble which grew out of her
parents not allowing him to live with
the woman ho had married, because
he was poor and she was rich.
win-' he tub thaukdy oc-curheh.
The affair took place in the Nichols
House, a public hotel, aud was first
discovered by a chambermaid of the
hotel, who heard I he report of two
shots and at once hurried to the
spot or room from whence the sounds
emanated. She found it proceeded
from room No. 1. The door was
locked, but alone she procured a step
ladder, and, getting up on it looked
over the transom, when she was
horrified at seeing a man lying upon
the floor and having the appearance of
being dead. She then at once made
known to the landlord and several
other gentlemen what she had .seen.
They went up stairs and burst open
the door of the room, when the ap
palling discovery described was
made.
now t:ie pead aim'kaki.
Young Parkurst was lying on the
floor dead and Miss Howell was also
dead on the lounge. The .murdered
girl lay with one of h 1 hands under
neath the side of her .head, and only
for scanty blood siains on her neck
one would think that she had fallen
into an easy natural sleep. Purkurst's
head lay in a pool of blood, the brains
exuding from the hole in the back
of the head, staining and dabbling the
carpet. The utmost excitement pre
vails here over the terrible double
tiagedy. The village is convulsed
willi horror, the awful affair being
the one theme of conversation. The
streets are thronged with people dis
cussing lie? tragedy, wliich is a most
terrible one, owing to its shocking
character, and the prominence and
respectability of the parties.
Hancock'? Pedigree.
The silly Democratic attempt to
give General Hancock a halo by re
presenting that he is a decendant of
.ioiiii Hancock, alio signed the Decla
ration of I micpendanee, has brought
from bis father's neighbors the curi
ous imormatiou that the first appear
ance of Guieval D.-ineock's fatlur in
that community was as a liule boy,
brought to the district school by .ionn
Roberts, 11 rich and gay bachelor far
mer, who anooi'iiccd his name as
Benjamin Franklin Hancock, end
afterward told the curious, neighbors
that he waa his adopted son a" l heir,
and reUised to answer theiv Inquiries
further. They had their reasons for
supposing that Roberts was his real
father by a pretty hou.-ckecper, who
had sudddeniy disappeared at a time
which wtadi! ho coincident lo the
bin It of this adopted Renjamin.
Tint jackdaw would not have been
remarked if the democrats bad not
stuck pcacc-i k fe;uit rs upon him.
This bachelor irregularity begot a
:tout, beefy progeny, and is no re
proach to' General Hancock. His
father bad enough of "Squire John
Roberts" in him lo follow his incli
nation and marry the daughter of a
liitler democrat, a- tne com 01 ining
1ii.-1r.rded by his father by adoption,
who was a 'federalist. Parly politics
were very st long in those ilays, and
he democrats were regarded as of the
lower order. Benjamin I'rankiiii
Hancock was U-Y.y and the spirit
which got him married did not lift
him in the wolld. He settled down
into a country village schoolmaster,
and his twin sons were born in the
school ho'.l. e. Afterward he became
an attorney in a very black Demo
cratic town. The worse thing in Gen
eral Hancock's pedigree is that his
father was a malignant copperhead in
the war, carrying his hate of I'nion
soldiers so far as to interfere as one of
the direciors of a toll-bridge company
to demand toll of a body of volunteers
crossing the bridge to take the rail
road .to go lo war, and by consent of
the other directors crossing free.
In this wc see the taint of the blood
which led General Hancock lo be
come the tool of Andrew Johnson in
his 1'iirht against congress, and to use
his military position to crush Republi
cans in Louisiana and to put the re
bels in control. For this service
Johnson removed a republican from a
place in the internal revenue olllco at
Norristown, and put General Han
cock's fat her in the place, wliich he
held to death. All these tilings are
brought out by the foolish course of
Democrats in trying to bedeck him
with false leathers.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Hmuhl says: "The
Republican National Committee,
having been asked to send prominent
speakers into some of the Southern
States, it is understood that invitations
have been extended to the popular
colored orators of the North to visit
the Southern States and persuade
their brethren not to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, but to maintain their
fealty to tho Republican party."
The Hartford Courant sav Mr.
English was nominated for Governor
of that State by the Democrats, solely
because ho was expected to contribute
liberally to the campaign fund. It
adds. "The campaign opehs on the
Republican side with no forced nom-
! nations, no unwilliug candidates, but
with honest enthusiasm for live can-
- didates and with the best of omens for
success. Before November comes it
w ill be a walkover;''
It is announced In Boston that Gen
eral Butler will ppeak In the doubtful
States In tho interest of Hancock.
As it had already been stated that ho
would speak for the Fusionists in
Maine, this assertion may not be re
garded as news. The Republicans as
a body may be said to be pleased with
the announcement, which removes all
disguises and places General Butler in
his true light.
IndiauapnliH burner?. "It is worth
remembering that the largest body of
negroes ever brought into the State at
one time, some sixty-two in number
was brought from Virginia a few days
ago by E. M. Luce, a Democrat and
coal mill'; operator of Fountain County.
Politics have nothing whatever to do
with the importation. They were
brought hero for business rceons, and
singularly enough, were taken into
Mr. Voorhces' Congressional district,
lie has been representing that there
was no room nor demand for more
laborers."
Ole Bull, the famous violinist,
died in Bergen, Norway, August 18,
aged 70 years. Though Bergen was
his native place, he had spent much of
the last ten years of his life in this
country. He first came to America in
18J3 when he created an immense
furore, and returned in two yearii con
siderably richer than he came. In
1852 he came to this country and
bought 120,000 acres of land in Potter
county, Pa., wliich he sold to settlers
at a nominal price,' thus forming a
coloby called for him Olrtxnn. Ho
again gave concerts here, and in 1870,
his first wife having died, married an
American lady.
A special election was held in the
Sixth ward of Terre Haute last Mon
day. The contest was quite earnest,
from the fact that upon the result de
pended the political character of the
Board of Committee Council of the
city. The Republican candidate was
elected by a majority of 82, although
the ward has been hitherto Dem
ocratic. In 1870 the vote stood: Deni
oratic, 210; Republican, 1S7; National,
82; In P'78 the vote was: Democratic,
3ij; Republican, 107; National, 204. At
(his special election a Republican
Alderman was election to fill the
place of a Democrat , and this change
gives the Rcpblieans the Board.
Boston TravrUr,-. "The South
Carolina census returns are very open
to suspicion on their face, but they are
still more so when the circumstances
attending their their collection are
Trailed. The three Supervisors for
South Carolina, Messrs. Pride, Breedod
and Hammond, were appointed after
strenuous resistance of the Republi
can Senators, who knew their intense
parlisanship, and it the instance of
Senator Butler of Hamburg massacre
fame. They were the creatures of But
ler, and no one need to be surprised ii"
it 1 hali n'vvc that they have been the
willing tools of fraud in tho hand of
the Lourers who i)i,ve them their ap
pointment." A Cincinnati despatch to (lie New
York Timi a 1 says: "The man who is
hardest at work in all Indiana is W.
II. English. He U matting no blow
or bluster. To the oft-repcated ques
tion. 'Will you carry Indiana'" he
makes no reply, hut quid, and silent,
ami with watchfulness of a cat, he
goes on with his work. This is the
more significant, because Republicans
are bubbling over with confidence.
Nobody knows what lib1 plans or In
tentions are. He communicates them
to no one. But lie is ut work, one re
pot! says, fifteen hours a day. He is
frequently seen in the rooms of the
State Central Committee, but his
bouse is Ids workshop. It is said that
the front door has not been seen open
since his nomination. The character
of the work that is going on behind
the gloomy walls it is not difficult for
those who know the character and
past life of the man to surmise. Willi
him all b; business. Men will be tin
ier pay and close surveillance, and by
the day of election a perfectly-disciplined
corps of paid employees will
stand ut the poll watching theiroppor
tunitics and purchasing their victory,
if they achieve one, at so much a
head.
