Now this is a glorious opportunity for the g. o. p. to give a practical demonstration of their great boast of their undying love for the colored man. But will they do it? We guess not, Zack.

John A. Hardee is announced in THE REVIEW to-day a» a candidate for treasurer of Montgomery county. Mr. Hardee, some fifteen years ago, held this position, made a good official and acquitted himself with credit. He is a good runner, as the expression is in politics, and understands the art of electioneering. We predict for him a creditable race.

The most severe blow pugilism has received in this state for some time was given in the sentenced of Ed Corey at Lebanon last week, in which he received a fiue of $50 and a jail sentence of ninety days. Dick Keating the other principal, has skipped for greener fields. This no doubt will have a tendency to allay the pugilistic aspirations of young America in this county.

A THROAT CUTTING SCENE.

J. J. Vaughn Attempts to Shuffle off by the Razor Route. As Is known J. J. Vaughn, of Darlington, a lew weeks ago was sentenced to serve a term of three-aud-a-half years in the penitentiary for attempted wife murder. Since the sentence he has remained in jail awaiting until the sheriff was ready to take him to Michigan City to begin bis term. Monday last was the day set to start, and the Sheriff told him to get ready. While waiting Monday afternoon for him to come out iuto the corider of the jail Vaughn reached down in a valise in his cell and taking a razor from it, cut a deep gash in his neck, extending several inches. The blood spurted from the wound iu great quantity and, for a time, it was thought he would bleed to death. Dr. Keegan was at once called, the wounds Bown up and dressed, and Vaughn is still alive, although the journey to the penitentiary has had to be postponed in consequence.

He expresses no reason for his attempt at suicide, in fact has said that he will not go to the penitentiary. Vaughn asked not to be handcuffed on the journey, but was Informed that this would have to be done, and if is thought that he would have aimed to have jumped from the train for the purpose of escape or suicide. He will remain in jail for several days yet to allow the wound made by the razor to heal before the sscond attempt will be made to send him north, Vaughn had resided, before his arrest and imprisonment, for several years iu Darlington, running a small grocery there until the building and goods were destroyed by fire. He seem* to have had considerable domestic troubles for a long time, and which have finally brought him before the bar of justice and a sentence to the penitentiary. As t# the justice of his sentence we know noth ing, yet there are some who consider it alto geiber too great in length of time.
