One of the bones of contention is the construction put upon the law by the

American politics. The Washington Star gives the latest in regard to him as follows. “The plans and inte ntions of General Bun Butler with regard to the pending political canvass aro being discussed a good deal in a speculative way, and the report which seems to be more generally credited is that the General intends to support Hancock, with the view of getting the regular Democratic nomination for Governor of Massachusetts next year. The action of the Butler delegation to the Cincinnati Convention rather tends to confirm this view of the General's plant.. It is well known that he controlled absolutely the men who went to that Convention as representatives of the Butler Democracy, and they were not likely to have taken any important step without first consulting him. The delegation, though excluded from the Convention, readily listened to terms of compromise from the regulars, and in short order peace and harmony were restored and the two factions welded into one. General But'er, through bis lieutenants at Cincinnati, thus showed that his desire was to strengthen the Democratic party in Massachusetts.

property.
This matter js one of very much importance throughout Indiana, and there aro hundreds of people who will bo glad to know that they have some rights that must be respected, and yet it may he at the expense of a lawsuit. The fight will bo pretty general all along the line soon, for in another six or seven months the making of deeds to the purchaser will begin, and people who do not relish being turned out of their homes are preparing to protest most vigorously and fight for their lights.

Obituary-
Died, in Greencastle township, Putnam County, Indiana, on Monday. July 19, after a protracted illness, Clinton Walls,
aged 74 years.
Clinton [Walls was born in Paris, Bourbon County, Ky., in the year 1806, July 15th, and emigrated to Indiana in 1827, and lived in Putnam County continuously from that period until his deatti, which occurred on Monday evening, at the ad-
vanced age of 74 years.
The subject of this notice was identified with the early history of Western Indiana—a pioneer of Putnam County. He has filled various positions of profit and trust to the credit of himself and the full satisfaction of the public. He served several terms as justice of tho pcace ) one term as township trustee and two as recorder; and his oddity to the public has never Leon questioned. A firm and consistent member of the Christian Church,*he died, as he lived, a firm believer in the faith. He was a gentleman of the old school—polite and courteous to all. As a neighbor and friend be was kind and obliging. With a heart filled with “Charity for all, malice towards | none,” every pulsation of his heart j throbbed with noble impulses. Thus has Esquire Walls passed away, living a long and useful life. His death has caused a void which never can be filled.

Mr. John Owens, wdio lives two miles this side of Florida town, on the eastern shore ol Escambia Bay, related to one of our citizens recently a most horrifying affair, llis statement was—and ho gave it as a positive fact—that on tho IGth ultimo, while a party numbering some three or four were enjoying a sea bath, thoir attention was directed to a little ten or twelvo-year-old boy whom they had left on a reef in shoal water near the beach,they having gone into deeper water. On looking in the direction of the child they realized the awful fact that the bey was being swallowed by an alligator, fully half tho victim’s body being visible and then suddenly disappearing in the frightful jaws of the monster, whose tremendous mouth was plainly seen by each one present. They at once returned to shore, but not a trace of the unfortunate lad could be found, save the blood that
tloated oa the water.

Two or three days ago a paint wagon went tearing along Thirtennth Street, drawn by a team that was thoroughly frightened. All at once the wagon was overturned, and the occupant who was the defendant in a divorce suit,was thrown out, and sustained the fracture of an arm. The lady at whose door he had been deposited rushed out and beheld her husband insensible, and, as she thought, dying. She embraced him and wept over him, and he was gently carried into the house, where, in a few moments, he returned to consciousness. A reconciliation then took place, and they are now living
