Second Trial of Mrs. Wharton, the
^oed Poisoner.—The trial of Mrs.
Wharton on the indictment charging her
with attempting to poison Eugene Van Ness
I -• Baltimore, in June, 1871, commenced at
Aanapoiii last Thursday. It is not yet a
'rear since she was acquitted, after a pro
tracted trial, of the charge of poisoning.
General W. Scott Ketchum. Owing to the
high social position of her husband, Major
Wharton, great interest was taken in the
trial, and the more from tye peculiarity of
the circumstances, General Ketchum having
been an intimate friend of the family, and
being on a visit there at the time of his
death. Public feeling was strongly against
Mrs. Wharton before the trial and during
the first week or two of it, but gradually
changed, until at the close the verdict of
not guilty was accepted with general satis
faction. Van Ness, who was a banking
I clerk, was, like Ketchum, a friend of Mrs.
Wharton, and, while calling on her during
the illness of General Ketchum at her
house, accepted and drank some tea pre
pared by her, and was soon after taken sick
and died. At the opening of the present
trial her counsel moved to quash the in
dictment on technical grounds, but the mo-
I tion was overruled and a new jury is being
impaneled. Mrs. Wharton’s health has
I greatly improved since the former trial, and
the general impression seems to be that she
will be again acquitted.
A Fn.iXco-AxEnic.iS View of Napoleon.
I —The Courrier des Etats Unis, a French
paper published iu New York, in comment
ing on the death of Napoleon III., declares
I that at the French establishments where its
j compatriots congregate in that city, the
I news wasreceivod“with the same bitter smile
I indicative of satisfaction and disdain.” The
i Uouirier thinks the announcement was re-
1 --'rived with the samo indifference in France,
I and adds: “Napoleon III. died at Sedan, two
years ago; the phantom of Chiselhurst did
I not exist for Fiance, and it was bui an illu
sion cherished by a handful of ambitious
persons, without consistence and without
echo, that there still existed—almost nomi
nally-a Bonapartist party.”

Glories of the Sandwich Islands.
“Mark Twain” has published in the
Tribune two very amusing letters about
the Sandwich Islands. From the one giv
en yesterday we make these extracts :
FUNERAL FESTIVITIES.
I can imagine what is going on in Hon
olulu now, during this month of mourn
ing, for I was there when the late King’s
aimer, Victoria, died. David Kalak ana
(a cbiet), Commander-io-Chiel of the
H usehold Troops (how is that fora title?)
is no doubt standing guard now over the
closed entrance to the “palace” grounds
keeping out ail whites but officers of
State; and within, the Qbnstianized
ht.itiien «*re howling and dancing and
w .iling and carrying on in the same old
savage fashion that obtained before Cook
discovered the country. I lived three
blocks lrorn the wooden two-story palace
wi ou Victoria was being lamented, aud
lor thirty nights in succession the mourn
ing pow-wow defied sleep. All that time
tb ) Christianized but morally unclean
P; incess lay in state in the Palace. I got
into the grounds one night and saw some
hundreds of half-naked savages of both
sexes beating their dismal tom-toms, and
w, iling ana caterwauling in the wierd
gUreot innumerable torches ; and while
a ,'reat band of women .waved and jig-
& red their pliant bodies through the in-
tr-cate movements of a lascivioas dance
ca led the huia-hula, they chanted an ac-
companient iu native words. I asked the
son of a missionary wh«t the words meant.
H • said they celebrated certain admired
grits and physical excellencies of the dead
piiLCess. I inquired further, but he said
tfc *.t the words were too loul for transla
te n ; that the bodily excellencies were
ui mentionable ; that the capabilities so
la ided and glorified had better be left to
tb -j imagination. He said the King was
doubtless sitting where he could see these
ghastly praises and enjoy them. That is,
tha late King—the educated, cultivated
K .mehameha V. Aud mind vou, one of
hii titles was “the Head of the Church
fo% although he was brought up in the
re igion of me missionaries, and educated
in their schools aDd colleges, he easily
le rued to despise their plebian mode of
w rship, ai d had imported the English
sy nem and an English bishop, and bossed
tb - work himself. You can im agine the
sa .urnaaa that is making the night hid-
er us iu tho palace grounds now, where
H s Majesty is lying m state.
A ROYAL CURIOSITY
The late K ng was frequently on hand
m the royal pew iu the Royal Hawaiian
R termed Catholic Church, on Sundays;
but whenever he got into trouble he did
m t fly to the cross for help—he flew to
l h i heathen gods of his ancestors. Now,
this was a man who would write you a
b« intilul letter, in a faultless hand, and
w *fd it iu faultless English; and perhaps
tl row in a lew graceful classic allusions;
aL J perhaps a few happy references to
sc.euce. international law, or the world’s
p« itical history; or he would array him
self in elegant evening dress and enter-
ta n you at his board in princely style,
ai d converse like a born Christian gen
tleman; and day after day he would work
like a beaver in i»flairs of State, and on
occasion would exchange autograph let
ters with the kings and emperors of the
oM world. And the very next week,
bLsiners being over, he would retire to a
cl ister of dismal little straw-thatched na
tive hut* by the Sca-shore, and there for
a ortDight be would turn himself into a
h< aihen whom you coold not tell from
his savage grandlather. He would re
duce his dress to a breech-clout., fill him-
se If full of whisky, and sit with certain of
his concubiiMS, white others dance the
peculiar hula-hula. And if oppressed by
grjat respons ibilities be would summon
o:.a of his familiars, an anoient witch,
ai d ask her to tel» him the opinions and
th^ commands of the heathen gods, and
these commands he would obey. He was
so wuperstitious that he would not step
over a line drawn across a road, but would
wi-.lk around it. These matters were com-
m m talk in the islands. I never saw
this King bni once, and then he was not
on h s periodical deabuch. He was in
evening arts-*, attending the funeral of
his lister, and had a yard of crape de
pending from his stove-pipe hat.

Hartford, Jan. 6, 1873.
holly military in feature, on the
occasion of inaugurating Presidents and
Governors, to have the least tear of the
excessive influence of the purely martial
spirit in public affairs in consequence.
But all this was the experience of more
tranquil times, before human passions
had been inflamed by civil war, and when
there were no existing apprehensions
^6 open cen'raLzation of power.
I his latter tendency is admitted by all
the candid and reflecting journals of the
d uunant party, and their testimony shall
be accepted as sufficient. The familiarity
of onr rulers with the use of the sword,
arid the later identification of the rulers
themselves with their strictly military
qualifications, are not at all favorable
symptoms foathe future, nor do they con
tribute to the quelling of an incipient
fe.xr that the worse element in party gov
ernment may yet supplant the better one.
P.esident Grant appears to have taken
the plan tor his inauguration into his own
hands, and the Liet that its characteristics
ar . aiuiost wholly military naturally Dro-
vokes general attention. Had the escort
b<en a purely voluntary one, there might
be less significance in it; but it appears
th it it is the President himself who desig
nates the favored troops, ordering them
to the Capital from different forts and
navy yards to honor his triumph in a
somewhat impartial fashion.
Once in this fashion for the ceremony
of indacting our rulers into office, and it
is not so easy to get out of it. That it
should be set by a military character is a
natural ground of suspioiou. As a gen
eral thing, in this country, the successful
General has taken special care to signify
hvs reverence for peaoe and all its secure
a-sociations. This is the first time a
military Executive has taken special D&ins
to place the martial before the civic part
ot his public character. It only comes of
too much martial law, and the habit ot
c utinuing the rule of the bayonet into
times of profound peace. As the betrayal
o* tendency, it is full of warning sugges-
ti. ns. In a Republic, either Republican
sentiments must prevail everywaere, or
give way to tbose of dynasty and empire.
Toe struggle between them is only in the
thought at first, but thought in due time
ripeiiH in the form of action.
And for this reason a protesting word
is not unseasonable. The people who are
summoned to witness the inauguration
p geaut may see nothing but the uni
forms, the fligs, the dazzling array, and
the superb mechanism of careful drill;
i hear notuing but the s morons music
oi trumpets, the deepening roll of the
drums, and the thunderous roar of the
Cannon; while the central object of the
pageant may b© brooding over new orders
lor arresting peaceful citizens, dispersing
L gislatures, setting up Governors, com-
m ending the election of Senators, aDd
controlling tLe results of local suffrage.
T ie unthinking multitude see but the
surface view; the master of tho show is si
lently bent on developing the fixed cen-
tr.fl idea. No such charge as this is made in
tLe present instance, and still it may con
tain the germs of all that has been por-
tr yed. There is no harm in thinking
ab -nt it
It is especially prudent, and for other
g od reasons desirable, to keep down the
military spirit in our politics, and give
the lreest possible rein to ideas of free
g- vernment. Oar chief danger lies al
ways in cone- ntration. Rulers grow be
wildered with the contemplation of the
country's amazing growth, and dream ot
an increased necessity for the growth of
power at Washington. The simple truth
is, on the contrary, that popular power
must ever be greater than that of its rep
resentatives and agents. The latter ar«
not the reservoir, only the conduits; and
they are too apt to forget it. When to
the power of a plethoric Treasury is ad
ded that of the sword, with both fast be-
comirg supreme and both grasped by the
h inds of the Federal Government, the
public mind may with reason tarn to
s rious reflection. So thorough-going a
li-VQblicBQ as Gen. Sherman returns lrorn
Europe to throw out bints freely of the
admirable military system of an armed
Government like that Prussia, and to
half bespeak for the army of his own coon-
tiy such a perpetually fresh reinforcement
a.s the annual sweeping in of all the >outh
of the land. In the midst of anch a feeling
as is visibly gaining ground, it is wise to
rt-call the jealousy entertained by the
statesmen of the last generation in refer
ence to the establishment of the Wes*
Point Academy ; and although that insti
tution has more than vindicated itself by
experience, its influence in contrast with
that of simple republican ideas is by no
means yet limited to its safe and proper
place. The people ot this country Lave
demonstrated more than once that the
activity of true republican ideas is a far
more efficient defence than any amount
of military training and drill. The one
is the living spirit, the other but the ma
chinery ; and no military machine will
answer for a republic unless inspired and
directed by a passion for freedom, and
then it becomes invincible. The be>t
thing for the people ot the country to do,
therefore, at the approaching inaugura
tion, is so to mingle their own numerical
force with the proposed military show as
to oveishadow’ and absorb it altogether.
The lesson woold be a quiet, but a timely
and thorough one.
Astonighing Fact* and Figures—
Nome of the Incidental Expenses of
Subjugation.
[Oorrerpondence of th© Oiccinnati Enquirer ]
Washington, January 7, 1873.
A public document, well worthy the
attention of the tax-payers, is printed,
under the title of House Miscellaneous,
No. 23. It is a letter from Attorney Gen
eral Williams to the Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, dated De
cember 2, 1872, asking for $300,000, to
be put through in short order in a defi
ciency bill, to meet the expenses of vari
ous forms of rascality by which men have
been immured in Penitentiaries upon ver
dicts procured by picked j dries and par
tisan Judges, and for the artful machinery
provided in the Enforcement Act to se
cure the Southern States for Grant. This
large sam of money is designed to pay
bills incurred prior to June 30, 1872.
Congress appropriated the enormous sum
of $3,200,000 for the service ol that year.
This money is exhausted long ago, and
yet, the Attorney General asks for more.
Nor is he satisfied with the $300,000. It
seems that in the year ending June 30,
1871, the appropriation was not ail spent,
and the sum of $659,567 35 was left over
— probably for the rr-ason that there was
then no Presidential election pending and
no pressing party needs. This large bal
ance was carried back to the treasury un
der the operation of the Surplus Fund
Law, and now the Attorney General wants
this money put in his hands again. The
wants of his party have increased, and
their peace requires expensive court ma
chinery and free-handed Marshals
Stephen Lowery, the Outlaw, and John
Locklear, the Murderer, Pursued
Into South Carolina — Shooting of
Floyd Oxendine by John Locklear —
The Latter Arrested, hut Released by
a Marion Trial Justice.
THIS IS NOT AT.L.
Mr. Williams asks further that these
highly inconvenient statutes by which un
expended balances are carried to the sur
plus fund or the general account of the
Treasury may be repealed. He is in great
haste for the money, and is not willing to
wait even lor the passage of the general
deficiency bill, which covers np a multi
tude of sins, any more than the District
jobbers, who yesterday finally secured
th-ir booty of a miiiiou and a quarter
dollars.
SOME CURIOUS FACT8.
Following the letters of the Attorney
General are some carious figures and
statistics. According to Mr. Williams’
statement it costs only some $121,000 to
carry on the courts in the great State of
Pennsylvania, and only about $95,000 in
Ohio; but in the Western District of Ar
kansas, where the people chafe under
CLaytou’s tyraimy, it costs $24,300; and
in South Carolina, although ruled by loyal
negroes, $170,000; and in North Carolina,
where the first State eleciion was to be
held this summer, $184,000. The Attor
ney General tries to exense these heavy
expenses by alleging the distance required
to carry witnesses, though in California
tho total is only $52,000, as compared
with $184,000 iu North Carolina, or one-
third the expense in a State three times
thu size of the o: her. It is alleged that
ex ra expenses for paying snpervisors of
election by the act ot June 10, 1872, were
needed; but ri happens that the lav says
the supeivisors it creates or permits Shull
not receive c-mpensatiaa. To vindicate
himself, the Attorney General subjoins
copies of very touching appeals Le had
written to the notorious Marshal Carrow,
of North Carolina, begging him not to
spend so much money. Carrow was rath
er tenderly handled, as it would not do to
ran him up too tight just before the North
Carolina election; but Wallace, the Mar
shal m South Carolina, which was deem
ed safe, and the Marshal in Dakota Terri
tory, which did not vote, came in for v^ry
rough rebokes for their want of economy
It does not appear that auy Marshal was
dismissed for extravagance, and there is
no estimate in this document of the proba
bly large exp. uses from the 30ih of Jane
to the time of the Presidential election.
[From the Wilmington fctar.]
From a gentleman jast returned fiom
Robeson county, we learn that a sheriff’s
posse, consisting of William Wilson, the
slayer of the notorious oatlaw, Andrew
Strong; Floyd Oxendine, who also figured
somewhat in that tragic occurrence; and
William McClenney, went across the line
into Marion county, S. C., Home lime last
week, in pursuit of Stephen Low. ry and
Jobu Licklear, the former betng tae only
remaining member of the baud of out
laws, of which the lamons Henry Berry
Lowery was once the leading spirit, and
the latter being accused ot the murder
of the McLeod family iu Cumberland
couuty, some years ago. Mr. Wilson and
the others returned on Taesday, and re
ported that they came uo with John
Locklear at a certain house in Mariou
county, Lowery having disappeared be
fore their arrival. As the posse arared
the house, Mr. Wilson called to Locklear
to come out, when the latter replied by
threatening to shoot him if he did not
leave. The party continued to advance,
however, and had come within a few
yards of the bouse, when Lockiear fired
upon them, shooting Floyd Oxendine
aud wounding him severely, though not
dangerously, in the neck, breast and
hand. While in the midst of the confusion
which ensued, the murderer e caped
through the back door and beat a hasty
retreat.
Mr. Wilson and party followed after tho
fugitive, who was making his way towards
his old haunts in Rjbt-son county, and
finally succeeded in getting a warrant for
his arrest from a magistrate by the name
of Lee, which was placed in the hands of
a special deputy. After a vigorous pur
suit the party finally came up with Lock
lear aud succeeded in affecting his arrest,
the special deputy formally delivering the
prisoner into the hands of the posse from
Robeson county. Elated at their eucc ss
in securing at least ooe of the villanous
desperadoes of whom they were in pur
suit, Mr. Wilson and his friends started
homewards with their prisoner, who had
been securely ironed, when, as they had
reached a point within about two miles ot
tho line, they were approached and halt
ed by riheriff Berry, of Marion county, ac
companied by Deputy Sheriff A. P. Brig
ham, formerly of this city, who proceeded
to arrest the whole party and mada th» ra
retrace their steps to Marion Court Housr.
Here they were arraigned before Justice
Lee, the same magistrate who ha 1 issued
the warrant for the arrest of Lockiear,
when the latter was unconditionally turn
ed loose, while Mr. Wilson and his pariy
were only released on the payment to the
sheriff and magistrate aforesaid the sum
of $641 90.

called in a startling manner to the inse-
enrity of balconies that so abound on tne
tenement houses in some parte of the city.
At half paet ten o’clock on Sunday night,
a yonuR Rirl, named Elizabeth Bierlien,
came to her death by tho frailty of one of
these dangerons adjuncts to the house in
which ehe lived. The house is situated at
the southeast corner of Pleasant and
Henry streets. 'The deceased with a young
girl named Barbara Hammer, went out of
her room to see who was giving a signal
in the street below. They leaned over the
railing of the balcony to look down, and
the frail structure gave way. John Lister-
man, who came out apon the balcony just
as the girls were falling, had time to seize
Barbara Hammer and save her, bat Eliza*
beth fell to the pavement, a distance of
twenty-live feet, and fractured her skull.
She died in a few minutes after being car
ried np stairs. The Coroner began an in
quest, but adjourned it ontil to-day.

Diabolical Attempt to Mcrdeb a
Whole Familt. — One ol the most vin
dictive attempts at wholesale murder late
ly chronioled occurred in the peacefnl
little villuee of Coeymau’a Landing, about
twelve miles below the city of Albany,
nearly resulting iu the sending oi eleven
s uls into eternity to gratify, if accoouts
a o true, the disappointed spite of
scheming, revengeful stepfather. The
c rcumstauces and the surroundings of
t .e attempted tragedy are abont as fol
lows: For several years past John Hazle
ton, a thrifty and industrious man, has
resided with bis wife, Martha, and family
a: the Landing. His wife, it appear.--, has
a steptather named Eiias Houghtaling,
who resides at Talatia, and who at first
was much incensed when Martha accept-
t d and m irried Hazleton. Since then be
Las at various times and on several occa
sions expressed his dissatistaotion at the
match, and onos or twice was even heard
to utter threats against them both, ex
pressing the desire to rid the earilt of
them, and that he would poison the en
tire family. The Hazletons are also con
nected with a man named John McDe-
virt and his wife Eliza, who reside in
Greenbusb, and "visits between the two
families have been frequently exchanged.
To carry ont his alleged threat, Houghta-
li, g tent, on the 30th of December, e.s a
New Year’a gift, a neat package of tea
and sugar from Albany, by a carrier nam
ed HalBtead, and addressed it: “John
Hazleton, Coeyman’s Landing;from John
and Eliza.” The package was duly re
ceived, and on New Year's Day, when
Mr. Hazleton and family were assembled
at table—eleven in number, including
f,,ar relations on a visit—the tempting
paroel was opened, and the contents par
taken of by all. Bnt they had scarcely con
cluded the meal when every one was seiz
ed with violent spasms and vomiting, and
on medical aid being sought, it was font d
that they had bem poisoned with arsenic.
By strennona medical exertions all were
saved except the father and youngest child,
who are both atill dangerously sick. Mrs.
Hazleton’s affidavit aud other circum
stances point distinctly to Hongbtaling
as the author of the hellish deed, and he
has been arrested to undergo an examina
tion.— World.

[From th© Wilmington Journal.]
Convicted Under the Enforcement Act
Wilmington, (Del ), January 9.—Iu
the easj of tne United Stales against A.
Given, collector of county taxes, who was
convicted in the United States Circuit
Court, in October last, for violation of the
stcond section of the enforcement act,
Justices Strong and Bradford this morn
ing rendered a decision overruling the
motion to arrest judgment made by the
defendant's counsel, on tho ground that
the act of Congress was unconstitutional,
thereby affirming the constitutionality of
the law. The court adjadged that Given
pay a tine of $2,000, and the costs of the
prosecution.
The alleged offence in this case consists
in the adherence of certain election offi
cers of the Slate of Delaware to the con
stitution and laws ot that State, rather
than to the Ridical construction of the
acc of Congress, commonly kuown as the
Enforcement Act The Lets arc, we be
lieve, abont as follows: The constitution
of the State of Delaware makes it a con
dition precedent to tho right of a citizen
to vote that he shall have paid a county
tax. Certain negroes failed to pay the tax
required, and in consequence thereof
their names were not put on the assess
or nt lists, which are the guides for the
election officeis, and they were not per
mitted to vote. The election officers were,
thereupon, indicted in the Federal Courts,
tried and convicted. Senator Bayard, who
appeared for the parties, moved in an ar
rest ot judgment on the ground that the
Enforcement Act of Congress was uncon
stitutional, with the result above an
nounced.
We trust the case will be carried up to
the Supreme Court at Washington City,
aud that final adjudication npon this ob
noxious law may be had as speedily as
possible.
It is time that there was an official,
judicial decision of the quest^n whether
the States of the Federal JjJnion have any
rights that the Federal Congress is bonnd
to respect, or whether the Federal Gov
ernment Las become absolute and nncon-
trolable. In o d times a bare statement
of the proposition would have been suffi
cient to show its absurdity. The idea
that the creature could become superior
to, and independent of the creator, is one
that would not have for a moment been
entertained Iu these days, however, we
have seen the Federal Government over
ride the rights of the States that created
it, so often and so fl igrantly, that it cx-
ci es but little remark and no surprise.
While we write even, in at least three
Slates, to wit; Alabama Louisiana and
Arkansas, governments exist by virtue of
the will of the Federal Executive.
Mr. SeWBrd boasted that at the ring of
his bell any citizen of the United States
could be arrested and confined in a dun
geon without hope of release. President
Grant can boast, with equal troth, that by
hu unauthenticuted telegram, by a breath
of his nostril, as it were, be can at will
set up one government and depose any
other in any State in the Udiou.
We are glad, however, to think that we
have reason to believe, or at least to hope,
that the darkest hour, that which comes
just before the dawn, has passed. The
crisis in Louisiana, as in Alabama and
Arkansas, has passed without bloodshed,
and without even the declaration of mar
tial law. Citizens were allowed to assem
ble and to remain upon the streets of New
Orleans without interruption and without
molestation. A Legislature, other than
that officially recognized by His Excel
lency, was allowed to meet and to take
ao ion avowedly looking to the inaugura
tion of another Governor than the one
whom the Military Vicegerent of the Presi
dent salutes as the Governor of Louisiana.
President Grant and his advisers seem
at last to have discovered that there is a
power in the land other than their own
private wills. We trust we are not mis
taken in supposing this lion in the path
of Federal despotism, is the power of
public opinion. If this be true, if in
deed, the sober second thought of the
American people is beginning to be a
power in the land that makes itself felt
even by their hitherto irresponsible Chief
Executive, and that, too, at the very be
ginning of a new term of office, we may
well be hopeful that when the question
whether our Government is free or des
potic, shall be presented to the highest
judicial tribunal in the country, it will bo
decided in accordance with the liberty of
the citizen and with the law of the land.
Negro crime in WahhiDgto'j is getting
to be formidable. The ntgrocs hero are
lelativeiy more numerous than in any
other American city. They have the ab
solute direction of the city so far as votes
arc concerned, and the regular Republi
can nomination is considered equivalent
to an election. They have military com
panies, bands of music, gangs of Odd
Fellows and Masons, Sons of Temper
ance, etc., and their organic life appears
to be vigorous and decided; but they pos
sess no power apparently over negro pub
lic opinion, beyond that of the ballot-
box and the parade. I used to sit at my
back window, on the corner of Seventh
and K streets, and watch half a dozen
little aegro children lying in wait for the
white children to come from school.
When the whites came along, thulittle
negroes would pounce udod them, and,
after a fight and a. series of rallies, wonld
drive the whites a square up the street,
although the latter had done nothing to
offend. The majority of our criminals—
who have been banged here of late in
large numbers—have been blaok men.
And now, at Christmas time, we have a
most extraordinary murder committed
by a fellow scarcely of age, named Tom
Wright, who has been known tor thrte
or four years as a terror to whatever com
munity he might reside in. He was a
slave born in Virginia, but had lived io
Prince George couniy, Maryland, where
hiu strength and terocity made bim a
name which will be long remembered.
Ho has a tall, narrow head, peaked like a
steeple, with which he is said to have
broken planks several inches thick, on
wagers. He is 6 feet 2 inches high and
weighs 210 pounds.
Removing to Washington, as too many
negroes do, he consorted with a black
w*man in the portion of the town called
“The Island. ” It is now related that this
fellow used to wait of nights in the Smith
sonian grounds, to Knock people down
and rob them, and this accounts for ko ue
of the outrages in that quarter. A Hebrew
peddler who dealt arnoDg the negroex,
had sold the woman with whom Wright
lived, a shawl, and, as there was a small
balance due upon it, Wright became pos
sessed of the knowledge an to the time
the peddler would again come. When the
peddler camo he was horribly murdered
by this heathen and his body stowed away
in a closet, while his pack was rilled, and
tho superflous oontents buiied in the
back yard. Thtrumrdrr was committed
at neon, and after dark the negro strap
ped up the peddler in a part of his pack
aud took him about forty yards from the
house, where he was thrown amongst
some old carts resposing iu the lot. After
tho body was discovered Wright assisted
tho officers to search for tho murderer,
and showed an unconcern which he has
exhibited up to this time. The woman
with whom he lived says that he made
her crawl under the bed the night of the
murder to get a batchtt there with which
to kid her, saying at the time: “I will
make such a face of yours as will make
the peddlers’ face seem pretty compared
to it.” He had cut the ptddler to pieces
with a hatchet and an oyster-knife. The
black people here are very much exercised
about these frequen* murders by negroes.
Universal Emancipation.
A very dtcided change m the policy of
the Uuried states ou the Cobao question
is intimated in a telegram fiom Washing
ton, published this morn:eg. The Secretary
of State has instructed our Minister at
Madrid to make strong representations to
the Government to which he is accredited,
ou its failure to carry oat its obligations
lo emancipate the slaves in Caba. The
dispatch oi the Secretary of State contains
a strong intimation*, if not a menace,
th.at, unless a change iu the Spanish policy
towards Cuba shad soon be made, ihe
ffiendly and traditional relations between
Spain and the United States may be inter
rupted. Considering the positive state
ments that have recently been made in
the Cortes by the Spanish Government,
there seems no good prospect of imme
diate concessions to the request of our
Government—New York Tribune.
iue United State* assuming the role of
emancipating the negro race is good. For
two hundred years this country has been
the great propagator and protector of ne
gro slavery. And of this country the New
England shippers were the most active
workers. The largest fortunes in Massa
chusetts and Rhode Island were founded
on toe sale of the colored brother. Every
sen was dotted with their sails. As long
as the trade continued profitable, they
plied it, and as long as the labor of the
slaves was remunerative on the thiu New
England soil it was diligently nursed.
Bat so hood as the balance hbeet showed
a loss, those virtuous and considerate
philanthropists began to sell their colored
brethren to the people of the South—and
when they had got rid of most of them,
th -y began at once to see the enormous
sm of holding a human being in slavery,
and set to work clamoring for abolition
throngbout the Union. Now, having ac
complished their work within the States,
tb-y set themselves np as the champions
of io-called^reedom everywhere, aud claim
tho right to interfere with every oLher
government. Perhaps they expect to
impose both on God and man, and to
indace both to believe that they are as
h: nest as they profess to be. Tne poor
De.^ro, however, supplies th« pretext
an.i, if interest prompts, we may expect
to see that pretext pushed until it becomes
profitable.—Bichmnul H’uij.

The Lydia Sherman Confession.
Farther particulars given concerning
Mrs. Sherman’s confession are as follows;
Sue relates she was born in New Bruns
wick, N. J., in 1825, and was early left an
orphan. At seventeen she joined a
Methodist church, and at a love-least met
Edward S. Struck. They were quit©
utraek with one another and subsequently
married. He became a police man at
Yorkvill^, one of the suburbs ot New York
city. One night there wai a row ir» his
beat, a detective was killed, und Struck
was off witnont leave. He was repri
manded and suSpendrd. Finally he be
came crazy and was discharged. He be
came phys.cally helpless and a burden,
and a male friend suggesTed to Mrs. Sher
man to get rid of him by poison. So she
poisoned him with arsenic mixed in his
food. Next she thought it would be a
good plan to get rid of her two chi! Iren
and save them lrorn growing np to inert
the cares of this world, and she poisoned
them. JSbe was not f-uspeefced, came to
Litchfield, married Dennis Hurlbnrt, and
finding him not just her fancy, poisoned
him. Next it was suggested to her that
she could, perhaps, marry a well-to-do
man in Derby, Mr. Horatio N. Sherman.
Accordingly she became Sherman’s house
keeper, married him, and poisoned him.
She says, however, that she did not mean
to poison him, but that he mixvd arsenic
in his cider to mnke.it foam, thinking it
was salara-tus. She purchased the poison
to kill Sherman’s two children aod to
kill rats with. She put tho poison ou the
shelf with the salaianus which Sherman
used, and she, fiading he was taking the
wrong article, did not tell him his mis
take. She poisoned the two children,
and thinks Sherman died of poison. She
drank by mistake somecid-.r with arsenic
in it, and was very sick after it. That was
once when Sbei man asked her to drink
with him. Mrs. Sherman has been visited
by reporters this w^ek. who have con
versed with her, but sb*» dors not say any
thing more on the subject of her coafe's-
lion.
