JLta value as an advertising medium is therefore apparent. to the 2d precinct police with a slight description of tho men. The officers were put on the alert for tho parties and last night Bergt Craft met Taylor and arrested him on suspicion.

Tho ladyreferred to waB sent for and identified him as one of the three men she saw come out of the house; Taylor was therefore committed for examination. Tna Maktin and Lewis Affkat. Mr. John S.Martin has sent us a statement of the circumstances leading to the affray between himself, his sons and Alonzo Lewis on Friday eveninglast. Lewis had oalled to see Mr.

Martin's daughter for some tbno, when Mr. M. having discovered that he was a married man, forbid him visiting the house. For this, Lewis commenced annoying tho young lady, and threatened to blast her charactw, and finally assailed Mr. Martin.

Tho following i Mr. Martin's version of the affray on Friday night: On Friday the 10th on leaving the ferry he seized me by the collar and sleeve, tearing the coat so as to bo entirely useless again, and swearing that I should not go home alive He followed me nearly home, when I went to the station house for a warrant, but was told that I could not procure it till next day, and then I returned, when he was still lurking around the neighborhood. After a few minutes having occasion to go to tho store near homo, he, seeing me out of they, rushed down to my house and attacked my wife and children with a blow of his list he knocked my wife headlong down a flight of steps, soverely injuring her, from the effects of which she has not jet recoverrd, and then with an open knife In his hand, ran and attacked my sons la the basement oi the house, swearing with horrid oaths that he would murder them. Then, and not till then, my two sons, seeing their mother prostrate and fainting, and fearing for her life and that of their sisters and their own, very naturally resonted the attack and gave the ruffian only a very Bmall portion of that punishment which hie dastardly conduct has so long and so richly deserved.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS. Arrest op a Despbrado. Brian Reilly was ar. rested by officer Lavon of tho Uth ward police last night on a charge of feloneous assault and battery and highway robbery, preferred by Mr John Holland, of Jamaica, I. The prisoner is one of the desperadoes who attacked Mr.

Holland on the Union Race Course on the 2d of August and beat him nearly to death, besides robbing him of his watch and a small sum of money. The injured man lingerad ever since in an insensible condition and there is not the slightest hope of his recovery. The parties made their escape at the time and the authorities of Queens County have been in search of them, but without success. Yesterday, however, officer Levon got upon their track and succeeded in arresting the ringleader (Reilly). Information was at once sent to Jamaica aud officers arrived from there early this morning.

The other felly is known and is probably now under arrest. The accused was sent to Queens County for trial. Yacht Cat sized. The yacht William, sailedby three young men, named Wm. Spalding, Wm.

Wright and James Contsey, was capsized in the Bay yesterday during a squall of wind. Crew No. 8 of the Harbor Police went to their rescue, aud 6aved them from a watery grave. The yacht was towed to the foot of Murray street, where the young me were landed. Serious Accident.

A German, by name Peter Dahlet, was dangerously iujured while attempting to climb a hill of stones at the head of avenue near 18th street. The stones fell upon his head and he was bruised in a most shocking manner. Caution. An unknown man, apparently an Irishman a laborer aged about 30 years, while sitting on the string piece at the Catharine ferry, was knocked down and fell between the dock and the fenders by the jar occasioned by the ferry boat striking the bridge. He was instantly killed.

The body was taken in charge by the Coroner. Wife Murders. Rosannah Williams, the woman who was stabbed, as alleged, by her husband with a table fork on the night of the 12th ult, at their residence, No. 126 Mott street, died yester. day at the Hospital, from the effects of the wound.

It will be recollected that the fork was driven into the skull, and that it took the combined efforts of two men to draw it out. Another woman named Mary Halligan died yesterday at Bellevue Hospital, from the effect of a wound received on the 6th it is said, at the hands of her husband, with whom she was engaged in a quarrel at their residence in 45th street, near 10th avenue. The accused husbands are under arrest. TnE New Letter Boxes. The new letter boxes are complained of as imperfectly arranged.

The openings are on the top instead of at the sides, and when depositors are careless the letters are liable to fall out or remain on the top. Capt. Caffrcy, of the 15th Ward Police reports that "citizens in dropping letters in the iron boxes attached to the lamp posts carelessly shove them through the joint of the lid instead of letting them fall into their proper place, by which means they are frequently thrown to the top of the box. Officer Lefferts discovered a letter last evening on the top of the box at the corner of 4th street and Broadway, and another on the sidewalk, having been dropped in like manner. The officer returned them to the proper place." The Fotjk Williams.

Every body has road Thackeray 's anatomy of the corruptions of the English Court during the reign of the "Four Georges." Probably no historical synonims ever presented a more fitting subject for the scalpel of the Batirist. "Never," says an English reviewer, "did the author of 'Vanity Fair' find more congenial employment, never did his satiric if humor have fuller play, than in describing the corrupt and conventional tone of English society in the earlier years of the Georgian era, and 'in showing in their true colors, 'in their habit as they some of the basest of the departed great who have been lauded by bishops aud historians for their imaginary virtues." When the future satirist comes to spread the characteristics of the Soft Regency on literary canvass he will liud an equally suggestive historical quartette in the "Four Williams." Each of the four nominees of the Soft Know Nothing Convention is a William. For Governor, William Kelly, of Dutchess; for Lieutenant Governor, William F. Allen, of Oswego for Caual Commissioner, William W. Wright, of Ontario for State Prison Inspector, William C.

Rhodes, of Chemung. To imagine that the wire pullers, of whom the "fools and oppressors called George" were the puppets were more corruptly venal than the clique that nominated the four Williams would be to conclude that the capacity for roguery and rascality had diminished since the last century. Human nature is always the same, and the only thing in which the prime ministers of the Four Williams fall behind those of the Four Georges is in having a more limited aud obscure sphere of operations. There is a point of similarity between merit and modesty which the most cynical cannot dispute. Both words begin with the same letter A similar poiutot comparisons exists between the fate of a prophet and that of a modem politician.

Neither is without honor save in his own locality. Mr. Spinola is doing yoeman's service for Douglas away down in Maine. In the Squatter, Know Nothing State Convention yesterday the Secretary received and read the following telegram Bangor, Aug. 15.

To the Chairman of the Democratic State Convention: Douglas is here surrounded by thirty thousand of the young Democracy of Maine. Thi authorize me to greet the Democracy of the Empire State in their name, and soy titer intend to carrv Maine. (Signed) F. B. Si ixola.

Immense applause followed the rending of the dispatclii and three roaring cheers were given for the Democracy of Maine, and on motion of Duncan 3. M.igie, an answer was returned pledging New York to follow the example of Maine, and giving the Electoral vote of the Empire State to Douglas. We doubt not that Douglas will carry New York and Maine by about the. same majority. Spinola is fighting the battle of political purity in Maine and we presume denouncing, as he did in hi? speech up the Nortk River, the profligracy of the last State Legislature, including no doubt, the Gridiron outrage, the Brooklyn public improvement swindles and the other acts of that immor tal body, all ofwhichheof course resisted with the stern resolution of an unpurchaseable patriot.

He doubtless acts on the idea suggested by St. Paul, aud betakes himself to distant localities because prophets and patriots are never appreciated at home. Their merits become clear only when "distance lends enchantment to the view." Miscellaneous Items. Burning of Bell's Tavern. Boll's Tavern was destroyed by fire on Friday night.

For two generations past, and since the beginning of the present century, it has been the stopping place for all the visitors to the Mammoih Cave, and thousands from every nation aud clime have enjoyed its hospitality. "The proprietor intends to erect new buildinirs at once, so as to accommodate the travel this season. Louisville Journal Incident. Several young ladies were looking at the sleeping berths of His Royal Highness, when one damsel anxiously asked the attendant if he could tell which berth was for the Prince's own use. She was answered that he did not know." The young lady, in a very sentimental tone of voice, said she "was so sorry, she would liked to have placed her hand on his pillow." Then, ma'am, said the matter of fact attendant, I think you had better put it on to all of them, and you'll be sure to be right." This seemed to destroy the damsel's romance, for she left the car, looking daggers at him who spoke.

The Boston Traveller of the 13th instant says that Mr. Thomas Dascomb, residing in Roxbury, died Sunday noon of hydrophobia. He kept a number of dogs, and about a week ago two of them, a female and one of her puppies, wero playing rather roughly together, and he attempted to separate them. The mother ol the puppy bit his wrist slightly, but he took no notice of it until Friday night last, when he woke up with a burning thirst, and endeavored to drink some water, when he was seized with a violent spasm. He spoke to his wife in regard to the dog biting him, and saidhe was sure he had been poisoned in some way, and thought he had the hydrophobia.

He continued to grow worse, and barked like a dog, turned summersaults in his bed with a strength which two men were unable to restrain, and after much suffering, died on Sunday last. The Etiquette of Religion. There is trouble among the different religious bodies at St. John, New Brunswick, touching the precedence to bo given them during the reception of the Prince. The Presbyterians having addressed to the Colonial Secretary a letter concerning the precedence that would be given to religious bodies in the presentation of addresses, received for a reply that the Church of England stood first, and theChurch of Rome next.

The Presbyterians at once took fire, threatening to wash theiFhands of the whole affair. What will be the upshot is not known. It seems that the precedence given to the Romau Catholics, after the Church of England, is not merely an imperial regulation but is founded on an enactment of the Legislature of the provinces. Montreal Com. Advertiser.

Life Imprisonment Productive of I.vsantti There are now living in the prison sixty four convicts who are serving out lifetime sentences. There are three out on writs of error, having had new trials granted, which would make the number now under sentence for life sixty seven. Of the above six are negroes and mulattoes, and twenty foreigners. One of the number has been confined 24 years, one 17, one 14, two 18, one 13, one 11, three 10, one 7, six 0, live 5, eleven 4, nine 2, and ten less than one year. Of the above number ten are hopelessly insane, and others verging upon insanity, and we think, four insane prisoners have died within two years.

From this fact it appears that life imprisonment has an inevitable tendency to insanity, if the prisoner has mind enough to be crushed. Columbus (0.) Journal. Abbey Kelly Bowe, daughter of O. A. Bowe.

deceased, and formerly editor of the Herkimer County Journal, left Frankford the night of the 10th instant, for Herkimer, on the cars. Arriving at Herkimer about half past nine? she there took the omnibus for Monawk; arriving there she got out at the tavern to go to her boarding house, which was the last seen of her alive. At about half past 11 o'clock her screams were heard by neighbors living not far distant from the spot where her body was found. She was also heard by some boatmen who saw her struggling in the water, and went to her assistance, but too late to save her. A boat was obtained and her body recovered in about two hours after her screams were heard.

The verdict of the Coroner's jury was that she came to her death by drowning herself; but the general opinion is that there was foul play in the matter, as no reason can be assigned lor her self destruction. A post mortem examination revealed nothing which could account for the act. Moreover, it is stated that tho boatmen saw two men leaving the spot in their shirt sleeves soon after her screams were heard. Fearfvl Suicide at Niagara Falls.

XT: ni ii i Kentucky Politics Bell and Douglas Men Hand in Hand. Tho Louisville Journal, which will be recollected as the organ of the K. N. incendiaries of Louisville, makes the following comments on State politics in an article suggested by a call for a public meeting for gratulation on the election of Gen. Leslie Coombs "We fully appreciate our obligation to a large number of the friends of Mr.

Douglas in Kentucky for the important aid they rendered in the overthrow of the common foe and we shall be glad to sec their faces and hear their voices at the meeting to night, for it is an occasion upon which the Bell and Everett party and the Douglas and Johnson party alike may congratulate themselves and interchange congratulations." New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Trenton True American speaks of the condition of politics in these two States, as follows We notice with gratification, unmistakable evidences of a return of the sober second thought in the minds of those who have hitherto been antagonistic to a union of elements opposed to Black Republican abolitionism. Passion and prejudice are gradually giving way to reason and patriotism. In New Jersey we have every reason to believe that the Union electoral ticket is daily gaining ground. The proverbial practicalness and conservatism of the people of our patriotic State cause them to lay aside their preferences and to accept the Union ticket as the only feasible means of defeating the common enemy of the Democratic party and the country.

And we arc glad to peeeive that in Pennsylvania the action of the Demoeratio State committee at Cresson, in favor of Union is well received by both divisions of the party. The Philadelphia Ledger (neutral) says that the proposition of the committee will, no doubt, be generally acceded to." We also perceive that the Democracy of Berks have held a Union and Harmony meeting, at which they reaffirmed the resolutions of the State convention, declared it to be the duty of (Democrats to repair and heal the existing division," and resolved to support the Democratic organization created by the Democracy of Pennsylvania at the late Reading convention." Poetry and Politics. The War of the Roses is taking a poetical turn. It will be rememoeretl that ex Senator Dickinson, in his speech at the Cooper Institute, expressed his sense of the double fraud practiced upon him by the Softs at the Syracuse and Charleston Convention, and his determination to punish his betrayers, by quoting the defiance which Fitz James hurled in the face of Roderick Dhu "Twice havo sought Clan Alpine's gleu In peace but when I come again, I come with banner, brand, and bow, As leader seeks his mortal foe." Not to be outdone by the Great Hard, either in defiant courage or devotion to the classics, ex Comptroller Church, in a recent speech at Lock port, cited the slogan of Dickenson, and said he could not better express his own eagerness to cross swords with him than by repeating the lines immediately following those quoted by Mr. Dickinson, and applying them to him "For lovelorn swain in lady's bower, Ne'er panted for th' appointed hour As until before mo stand, This rebel chieftain and his band." This was a happy retort of the Comptroller.

But we need not remind him and his clansmen that the omens are against them. They will remember that when afterwards Roderick and James met at Coilantogle Ford, "man to man, and steel to steel," the fight, though desperate, turned against the Northern Chieftain, and in favor of the Southern Prince and that in the death grapple, though both went down, yet "TJnwounded from the dreadful close, But breathless all, Fibs James arose, And faltered thanks to Heaven for life, Kedccnied, unhoped, from desperate strife." Nor will the clansmen of Roderick nor the liege men of Fitz James forget that "Four mounted squires in Lincoln green," after vlewiDg the "bloody spot" where Roderick lay stiff in death, rushed off to Court to tell the welcome news that the Squatter Sovereign of the Highlands was no more. if. Y. Tribune, The Political Programme Judge Douglas Going to Stump Virginia.

Judge Douglas has been rusticating at Newport. He attends balls, goes to dinners, bathes in the surf, and talks polities. Accordim? to ono.nf mir N7ic nrf mi spondents he expresses his sentiments with the utmost freedom, and does not hesitate to state precisely what he expects to accomplish in the pending Presidential canvass. We gather from our correspondent's letter that Judge Douglas has not the slightest expectation of achieving his own election and very faint hopes of preventing the election of Lincoln. But he does expect and intend, not only to render the election of Breckinridge impossible, but to crash out utterly and forever the wretched Pro Slavery faction which has made him its candidate.

He does not believe that Breckinridge can possibly get votes enough to carry him into the House as one of the three highest candidates, and doubts whether he will receive the support of more than one or two States. South Carolina win vote for him, and so may Mississippi but no other Southern State, in Judge Douglas's opinion, will give its support. Bell will carry part of them, and Mr. Douglas expects to carry the rest. Judge Douglas was always a very sanguine politician, and owes half his success to the reckless boldness with which he has pushed his schemes.

No other man in the Union would have the audacity to stump the country as a candidate for the Presidency. In any other equally prominent politician, such a course would excite general disgust; but it is so thoroughly in keeping with his character and political habits, that no one thinks it worth while even to effect surprise. No one, moreover, believes that his stump speeches will have the slightest effect upon the result. Men vote for a President on the strength of his public life, not under the influence of professions or appeals he may make during the canvass. Judge Douglas has gone to Maine, with an eye, doubtless, to the approaching election for Governor.

A Democratic victory in that State, just now, would be of immense value to his political prospects. But in our judgment, he reckons without his host. He has not the faintest possible chance of carrying that State, or making any sensible impression upon the majority which it is quite certain to cast for the Republican candidate. We do not concur with Judge Douglas in his estimate of the Southern vote. The result in Kentucky indicates the probable triumph of Bell and Everett in the border slave States.

They will probably carry Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware, and we are strongly inclined to think Virginia also. But we do not see how the cotton States can fail to vote for Breckinridge. They are thus far, thoroughly pro slavery in their interests, and are under the absolute and complete control of their leading politicians. We do not see where Douglas can possibly secure the vote of a single slave State, unless it be Missouri; and in the north, prospects are not a whit more brilliant. Lincoln is almost certain to sweep the north.

Nothing but the most culpable mismanagement or inactivity on the part of the Republicans can deprive them of a single triumph. Whatever tends to render this result doubtful, tends directly to strengthen Breckinridge and the Disunion ticket. If his professions ot devotion to the Union, therefore, are sincere, Judge Douglas makes a great mistake in attempting to divert support fiom the Republican ticket in the northern States. He cannot promote his own chances of success, and he only strengthens his most bitter adversaries. N.

Y. Times. Virginia. A Union Democratic Convention is to be held to day at Charlottesville, and a Douglas Convention at Staunton, in the same State. The Petersburg Uulletin gives a list of the counties which have appointed delegates to each.

A total of 74 counties sendB delegates to Charlottesville, and 12 to Staunton. This is favorable to a union sufficiently extensive to defeat the Opposition. The primary meetings in Virginia are being held in all parts of the State, to appoint delegates to the State Convention.

The Douglas Squatter Sovereignty and Kuow Nothbig Convention yesterday performed part of its work and will probably complete it to day. The union between the "right of every community to manage its own domestic concerns," and "Americans shall rule America," was partly consummated and will soon bo concluded. There was very little novelty in the performances. The same faded theatrical ward robes, the same old paste board equipments and the same sonorous tin to do the thunder at the right moment. Enter the inevitable Cagger who nominates a temporary ChairmaD, and the play is commenced Then comes Tammany Hall as the lion of the play, and growls "so as it would do any man's heart good to hear;" but Cagger knows perfectly well that the apparition is only Snug the Joiner.

So Tammany is admitted on the same level with Mozart, and knows of no way to maintain its departed dignity except to refuse to take part in the play, and sits sullenly in a corner and "roars again." Mozart Hall is too glad to be recognised at all, and sits on its half of the stool with the alacrity of a genuine squatter sovereign. The scene shifts and candidates are to be nominated for State offices. To go into a ballot for victims to be slaughtered would be cruel. It would resemble the act of a shipwrecked party on a raft, reduced to the lowest ebb of starvation and castiDg lots to see which of their number should be resolved into a fricasce. This agony was spared, and it was thought best to go the whole "State" by acclamation.

To day an electoral ticket, embracing an equal number of the children of Sam and the followers of Stephen, is to be brought forward and adopted by the Convention, and then formally accepted by the Brooks committee on behalf of the dark lantern fraternity. A more monstrous and unnatural prodigy thin this combination no outrage on the laws of nature ever produced. If either faction ever pretended to the possession of a political principle or faith in a single dogma, it could only be in some tenet which the other abhorred. The one pretends to believe in the right of a handful of adventurers in any territory to decide qnestions which will affect unborn millions and that there is no higher law than their will, no matter what constitutions or courts may sav. The other denies the right to take any part in politics to those not born "in the country or professing a creed to which the squatter sovereign has allied himself.

The one carries the inherent right of self government to its ultimate culmination in the unrestrained desires of a mob the other makes the exercise of any political privilege depend on the place of a man's birth or his views on theology. Nothing could better expose the real character of Douglas and his supporters and their claim to be "the Simon Pure Democracy than this alliance. No Bell and Everett paper or orator in the union has pretended to acquiesce in the Douglas squatter nostrum. Mr. Bell denounced the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, by which Douglas opened up the whole slavery agitation that has followed But Douglas, as will be seen by an article which we quote from the V.

Times, has no other object in view than to attempt to take revenge on the party that spurned his rough shod dictatorship. He is like the aj.wit triikai round its last diabolical satisfaction in rending the body from which it was cast out. The Herald is an inconstantlover. The coquette of whom Byron writes and with whom eternal, fidelity meant to be true for a fortnight was constancy itself compared with the fickle Herald. Some time ago it leant towards Lincoln, then it turned towards Breckinridge and for the extraordinary period of three days was the devoted admirer of Kentucky's favorite son.

For the last twenty four hours it has been 'engaged" to Bell and Everett. Its news generally corresDonds with its editorials and in a leader to day it talks of "stirring nfiwR frnm Alfth imo" von fmkn Bell and Everett and very discouraging to Breckinridge and Xane. "They have had," says the Herald, "some little local elections in Alabama lately, which, in ordinary times would pass unnoticed outside of the State, but which, at this crisis, are as important as the first desultory skirmishes to a grand and decisive battle. Read the news of them which we publish to day." As no line of "news" from Alabama is published to day in the Herald it is a fair presumption that it was not manufactured in time. The Herald has now been on the side of Lincoln, Breckinridge, Bell and Douglas and will finish up by coming out for Sam Houston.

Ik Love with "the People." Mr. Pratt, the temporary Chairman of the Cagger Convention, in his speech yesterday declared that 'the cardL "nal doctrine of the Democratic party has been "that all governmental power originates with, "and emanates from, the people, and should be "exercised for their good alone and that govern "mental power local in its character should be "exercised by local agents as near the source of "that power as circumstances will permi The way in which the Regency carry out this doe trine was exemplified in the formation of the delegation to Charleston. Some people were in favor of "local agents" elected by districts, but theBegeney considered that a delegation manufactured by itself would be a more useful and pliable body, and they were right. By the ma. chine so constructed they broke up the party and put up the Little Giant as their special candidate.

Now that they must come back to the bar of public opinion to be judged they fall in love with the people. They must submit to the people now. Could they manage the election as they do the primaries, the dear people would be treated as contemptuously as they were in the manufacture of the delegation to the National Convention. The Regency's respect for the people as the source of power is the most transparent humbug yet brought to light. The doctrine, however, is sound, and the people will testify their acceptance of it by extinguishing the clique whose existence is the result of its systematic violation.

The New Republican Watchword. Senator Seward, who foresaw the irrepressible seems to have made up his mind that the battle has been fought and the sectional victory won by the Northern Abolitionists. He said, in the course of his speech at Boston on Monday evening, alluding to Lincoln's expected triumph, Tell your feUowrrttteens that with this victory comes the aid of the power of slavery in this country." This is the consummation of the irrepressible conflict," as announced by its original author, now the acting supporter of his rival, Lincoln, and aspirant for the new Premiership. The conflict being irrepressible," the victory is the destruction of the constitutional rights of the South Here, then, is the new Seward, Lincoln and Republican symbol, watchword and motto Put an end to Slavery Tub Gbeat Eastern leaves for Europe this afternoon.

There is a good deal of complaint in Williamsburgh at the singular and tedious manner in which the sefrer is being put down iu that street. Some portion or other of that street has been impassable since the 1st of May, and there is no telling how long this state of affairs may continue. The sewer is being laid in A block or a portion of a block is torn up; the pipe laid and the street closed up. Next week the workmen turn up half a mile distant, and tear up another block; then tuey will come back to the original point, tear up the street again, and make a connection with a cross street; they will then break out in a new spot, and have the street blockaded at two or three points at a time.

Grand street is a busi acca tnorougnrare, anu as much expedition as possible should be, used in laying the sewer. The Grand street Railroad Co. have this sewer as an excuse for not building their road as their grant limits them to six months for the completion of the road as far as Bushwick avenue, they will be iable to forfeit their charter if they wait for the the sewers to be completed nearly four months have already elapsed and at the present rate of progress the sewers will not be finished for three months to come.

Theke seems to be a general disposition on the part of the rank and file of the Republican party to re nominate Gov. Morgan. There is no doubt but he showed a becoming desire to tay the plundering at Albany last winter; but it is now hinted that there was a wheel within a wheel, and that Gov. Morgan took care that no pet measure of the party should be lost by his vetoes. A Republican Senator, writing to the Albany Statesman' makes use of the following language which gives an insight into the influences which were at work last winter "I for one will not endure this charge of corruption to go unquestioned, nor will I permit to go unquestioned this claim of Gov.

Morgan. I know I voted for bills last winter that my conscience did not approve, and which reflection convinces me were wrong. But in no case did I vote for a questionable bill, unless solicited to do so by party leaders, upon the plea that those so be benefitted by such bills would contribute to the fund of the Kepublicau State Committee, and thus provide means for defraying the necessary expenses of the Presidential election, lean name more than one instance in which Mr. Weed has solicited me to vote for bills for such reasons. If I am not much mistaken, the 'Custodian (as the hill to continue Mr.

Stout in the office of City Chamberlain was called) was passed in both llouses, and signed, by the Governor, because Mr. Stout had promised to pay $10,000 to the State Central Committee. I know, too, Governor Morgan had not been willing, the Railroad bills and the West Washington Market bill would not have been passed oxer his veto. 1 did not vote for nor against either of these biils, when they came up after tho vetoes. I could riot vote for them, even at the solicitation of Mr.

Weed and I certainly should have voted against them, had I not distinctly understood their passage over his vetoes was desired by Governor Morgan, because the liepuhlican fund was to have a bonus of ,000 if Ibey became laws. One upright mar would have saved Sodom, but he was not to be had.

Gaillahdet, the Paris correspondent of the C'ourricr des BtaU Vnis, alludiDg to the late insulting remarks of Lord Brougham to Mr.

Yardlev arrived at the Cataract House last Friday, in company with two other gentlemen, and all of them occupied the same room. His companions departed the next day leaving him alone. So far as we have learned, he attracted no particular attention, but yesterday morning, when the chambermaid went to his room she found it locked. She mentioned the circumstance at the office, and after a while, as no answer could be obtained by repeated calls, a view of the interior of the room was taken through the window, when the occupant was discovered lying upon the floor, weltering in a puddle of blood, with a frightful gash in his throat, and the weapon of death lying by his side. The room was forced at once, and on the table was found a note, written by deceased, stating that the writer was out of money, that he had misused his friends, and had no desire to live.

Reference was made to people from Cincinnati, who were staying at the house, and directions given about notifying his friends at home of his ecease. It is said that Yardley has been engaged in business in Cincinnati, bnt we are not informed with reference to the particulars of his career, or the particular mauner in which he supposed himself to have forfeited his claim to life. He was about forty years of agc.Itochester Ucnodrat. The Dangers of Lovf Making. A Fayette (Ind.) paper tells a story of the mishaps of a youth who had parted with his mistress The house standing some distance back in the yard he went to the door, bade the lady good night, and started for home.

When half way between the honse and the gate, he was confronted by a huge dog, that by his growling convinced him it would be no easy matter to cultivate friendly relations. He accordingly started for the back part of the lot, intending to. escape in this direction. The dog seeing him retreat commenced barking, and tho old gentleman opened the door, and seeing a nun sneaking through the yard, fired two shots of his revolver at him, and was about to follow up with the other three when the young eordwainor cried out for quarter, the young lady shrieked, and the dog seizing hold of the individual who had been the cause of all this trouble, he was captured and brought to the light, when a full confession was made, and the supposed borclar allowed to depart, highly pleased to think he had not been perforated with the two leading messengers intended for his special benefit. A Man Kills his Wife and Attempts to Kill ms Son.

The Jacksonville (111.) Journal of the Sili says that Mr. Megginson, a farmer, who lives between that town and Lynnville, was aroused about 1 o'clock on Monday morning, by the cry of murder. Mr. Megginson and iris' son ran out, and on approaching the man he ran into a patch of corn. They began to turn their attention to the woman, when he came out of the corn again, and armed with a large club, with which he seemed about to assail them.

On this Mr. Megginson urged his dog upon the fellow aud the dog having laid hold of his leg, gave Megginson an opportunity of hitting him across the back of the head and felling him to the ground. The son now held him till thu father procured a rope, with which he was effectually tied. Having thus disposed of him, they took the woman up and carried her into the house. On striking a light she was found to be dead.

Her eyes were protruding from their sockets her cacvaD nciu uui ujjuu uuu uei jaws uroKen ncr tongue hanging nerveless from her presenting a most appalling spectacle. To make the tragedy still more dreadful, a little boy was found in the yard, about four years old, his face dreadfully mangled with blows from the same instrument which had killed his mother. He was taken into the bouse, and although perfectly insensible he may possibly recover from the shock and live! The murder was perpetrated with a thin oak clapboard. The wretch struck the woman with the sharp edge of it, every blow striking into her flesh to the bone. It appears from papers found on the person of the murderer, that his name is Michael Redman, an Irishman by birth.

The man acknowledged that he committed the murder, and sayB that he intended to kill them both. Mr. Megginson says that there was no smell of liquor upon him, and he does not Beem to be crazy. The deed was seemingly prompted by a desire to rid himself of the burden of supporting his wife and child. For model politicians, commend in Hampshire.
