In the Forty-fourth Congresv which
waa elected in the “tidal wave” year,
1874, ther® ware one hundred and seven—

This was the ‘‘tidal wave” majority given
in the year following the panic of 1873,
the year in which Maoaaehusetta elected

horrible crime—an attempt to poison Mr.
C. H. Moise and his family. On the 21st
of last month, General M. C. Butler at
tended a Democratic meeting in Sumter,
and was invited to dine with Moise. For
some reason, at the last moment; he was
compelled to break the engagement. It
is stated that after tbe dinner every mem
ber of Mr. Moiee’e family, the gnests
present, the servants, and all wno had
mittees, and the consequence was that
never before in Ohio was there so corrupt
a use of money in an election. It is a.
square fight batvreen the people and the
banks, and every day’s discussion will
make it more plain that we have the
right side of the question. Over two

consequences were barely averted by the
timely use of antidotes. An examination
of several of the articles of the food re

ence of arsenic in all, and confirmed the
suspicions of Mr, Moise, that the poison
had been administered by design. There
is said to be good reason to believe that
Lee was the instigator of the dastardly

The man’s name was Jones. While he
was hanging, Longley fired four or five
shots into his body. Ha remained with
the Baker party abont six months, during
which time he assisted m killing seven
men. Returning to Texas, Longley
joined his brother-in-Uw, John Wilson
(afterwards killed), and while roaming
over the country they killed seven men,
in which number Longley killed four
alone. He then went to the Indian Ter
ritory, where ho killed Rector, Ms em
ployer, who was a herder. He then left
with a friend named Davis. In Utah
they killed a man in recovering two ato-
leu horses, for which $100 was offered.
Longley then left Davis, and went to
Leavenworth, Kansas. Hero, in a gam

‘‘There is not a virtuous woman In Tex
