note was set down, and so arranged that,

THE FRENCH SITUATION.
London, June 15.—The Paris corres-.
poudent of the Times telegraphs that the
votes in the Assembly for and against the
Left Centre’s Constitutional bill to-day
will be about equal in number. Fifty or
sixty members of the Right Centre are un
decided. If the rumor that these Deputies
will abstain from .voting is true, the Left
Centre will probably be successful. The
proposed bill has three articles. The
first provides that the Government shall
consist of .a Senate and Chamber of
Representatives and a President of the
Republic. The second confirms Marshal
MacMahon’s presidency until 1880. The
third provides for a partial or total re
vision of the Constitution by such con
stitutional bill as may be hereafter sub
mitted.

the Bonapartist Deputies can’t accept the
challenge.

New York, June 15.—A letter to the
limes from Charleston says: From the
official record of the prosecuting attorneys
of the different circuits in South Carolina
it will be seen that one-third of the num
ber of persons holding minor positions
have been indicted for some offense
committed during their terms of
office; a much larger proportion is
charged with crimes of various kinds
prior to their election or appointment.
Charleston county is perhaps worse in
this particular than any other portion of
the State. From the highest to the lowest
State officer in the District nearly all have
been charged with, and many of them
convicted of one or more offenses. Among
the cases cited by the Times is that of
Richard H. Cain, Congressman-at-Large,
who is charged with fraudulent transac
tions, but has not been prosecuted be ■
cause he was high in favor with State

Who left Sante Fe last Sunday, and ar

wheh he left Santa Fe, was the topic of
street talk there. A few nights ago, says
our informant, ten or a dozen men, per
fectly disguised, and armed to the teeth,
surrounded the house of Thomas Valen
cia. in Socorro county, and, calling him
out shot him dead on his own doorstep.
One of the fiends then cut his throat
from ear to ear. Valencia’s wife, five
children, and a stock-tender were inside.
The as° ogliin<; rushed into the house, over
the corpse of its owner, and, while two or
three of the party were killing the stock-
tender the others were amusing them
selves by stabbing and kicking Mrs.. Va
lencia and beating the little children.
Two or three of the latter had their arms
and legs broken. The woman was seri
ously, but not fatally stabbed, and the
children wiU recover. After committing
this atrocious deed the brutes left in hot
haste, and had not, at latest advices, been
overtaken. • It was believed tlujt the per
petrators are neighbors of the murdered
men. Valencia had been warned to vacate

some way with a land grant, and had re-
ceived several threatening letters. Den~

Editor Morning News :
Georgia with her seaports and fine bars
and harbors, her geographical position
and lines of railroads leading in all direc
tions, peculiarly fits her to become the
importing medium for States west and
northwest of her. Besides, she should
become the great manufacturing centre,
not only for cotton good, but many
other articles of common use that could
be made here, had we the population to
do so. Hnndredsjof thousands of dollars
are sent north annually to pay for wooden
and willow ware, when they could be
I ! made here cheaper and better than most
of those received for which we
pay the woodsman, the 'manufac-
, tnrer, the merchant, the carrier, and
then the Southern merchant. We can not
enter a residence or store, or go on a farm
or walk the streets of any city, withont
seeing many articles in daily demand and
use that are sold to us by the North, and
which should be made in the South; audit
will continue to be so until we settle our
“waste places” with intelligent and in
dustrious immigrants from Europe. Our
tubs, buckets, axe-helves, brooms, wag
ons, buggies, carts, and many other arti
cles, with occasional exceptions, are
brought from the North, when we have
the oak, hickory,* cedar, cypress and other
superior wood suited to manufacture
these things. The South pays millions of
dollars for articles in common use which
appear small, when added together make a
great whole. These things can not be ac
complished without an increase of popu
lation and more intelligent and cheaper
labor. We have a place for every laborer
we have at present. “Truly the harvest
is plenteous, but the laborers are few.”
If we ever become a great and prosperous
people, we must have successful diversi
fied industries commensurate with our
various resources. Such a policy is the
secret of the success and strength of-New
England. She has grown rich at’ the ex
pense of other American States, and with
her wealth has ruled to rnin for the
last eighth of a century. As long ns
we continue to depend upon agricul
tural enterprises almost exclusively
(and we will certainly do so until
we greatly increase our white popu
lation) we will remain commercial vas
sals and dependent upon the most cold-
hearted and worst enemies the “world
ever saw”—worst not on account of
fanatacism, but cool, deliberate and un
relenting persecution. It seems to me
that we are very simple to allow them to
be our financial and political masters,
when a liberal policy of immigration
would change the situation. For the
articles of boots, shoes, harness, common
hats, caps, ready made clothing and
other articles manufactured by the North
for us, we pay millions annually. A suf
ficient population would result in the
manufacture of all of these things upon
our own soil, and in the accumulation of
wealth, which would create an influence
for ns not only in the North but in
Europe.
A large number of the hands employed
in Northern factories are foreigners, and
if they can afford to keep them in that
cold climate where the expense of living
is dear a portion of the year, it looks
reasonable that with our climate and
cheap living we could get them and do
our own manufacturing. In order to do
this the State should give the weight of
her influence to some immigration
scheme. J. M. A.
The Fall Campaigns.
There are a great many questions be
fore the country just now, calculated to
disturb the harmony of political conven
tions, and to make final results more than
ordinarily problematical. The labor ques
tion will not down at the bidding of any
man or set of men. The labor organiza
tions throughout the country see, or
think' they see, which is about the st/me
thing, the dawning of an era whin labor
ing men are to be throttled by capital,
shorn of dignity, and their wages re
duced to a pauper level. Chinamen are
bought and brought into competition with
white laborers—they work for wages
which are but a fraotion above nothing,-
and their influence wherever they have
obtained a foothold, has proved inimical
to the public welfare. The currency
question is likely to play a conspicuous
role in the discussions of political con
ventions, and it is safe to say will not
promote their harmony. Grant’s ignor
ance and unyielding stubbomess has al
ready driven from him the most power
ful and influential of his supporters, and
the breach is becoming wider every day.
It will not do for politicians to say that
the currency question, which the people
believe underlies the material prosperity
of the country, need not disturb the har
mony of political parties, and may be lost
sight of on account of the magnitude of
other questions which demand prompt
settlement. The mass of the people do
not look at matters in that light. There
are no less than seventeen State conven
tions to be held between this date—June
10—and the 26th of August, and already
it is declared that the financial question
must be considered by each one of these
political convocations, and it is further
more declared that it is the question on
which the fall elections should be made
to turn, and that candidates should pledge
themselves to one side or the other. Just
here comes a difficulty. Democrats and
Radicals favor expansion, and the same is
true of contraction—hence it will be diffi
cult for conventions to insert a financial
plank in their platforms, and equally dif
ficult for candidates to define their posi
tions.
The granger movement is also likely to
be a formidable barrier to. harmony in
political conventions. The grange organ
izations are arrayed against certain great
interests, firmly established, opulent and
influential. To be satisfied -of this, it is
only necessary to note the’condition of
things in Wisconsin. We apprehend that
the grangers will demand of candidates
an avowal of opinions upon their pet
measures, and that they will not tolerate
hesitancy, prevarication or circumlocu
tion. There is likely to be outspoken
opinions upon the “third-term” propo
sition, and some preliminary discussion
with regard to the possibilities of the
establishment of “Ciesarism" in the
U nited States. Nor is this all; the tem
perance people have been for months
past intensely excited, and are now fully
aroused. Temperance organizations nil
over the land are active, aggressive,
persistent and wide awake. They have
been praying and are prepared to vote.
They will go in a solid mass against men,
whether Democrats or Radicals, who will
not declare eternal hostility to drunken
ness, and in favor of laws which shall
hedge in the traffic in intoxicating liqnors.
It will be found exceedingly difficult for
either of the great political parties to'
manufacture platforms so as to serure
harmony, and as a consequence the fall
elections are likely to afford more than
usual excitement and introduce a wider
range of discussion than has characterized
political campaigns for many years.
There is, fortunately for the country,
one party that always has takena com
mon sense, practical, and Constitutional
view of all national interests—a party
which dismisses from its councils fanatic
ism—which proposes now, as it always
has done, whether in or out of power,
not to interfere with the inalienable
rights of the people—leaving all free to
pursue the bent of their minds upon mat
ters purely personal, content if in the
pursuit of happiness they do not inter
fere with each other. In the present
deranged and semi-chaotic condition of
the country, it is gratifying, to seethe
people once more looking to the Demo
cratic party for that wisdom and pru
dence which shall lead it ont of the
troubles which Radicalism has inflicted,
and which show an alarming increase
every year. Under its accumulating load
of odium, the Radical party is breaking
down—and is going to pieces. Its rot-
teness has been exposed until the land is
filled with dismay. TheJJemocratic party
is once more receiving the applause of
the people—and there are good reasons
for believing that the day of the.country s
redemption draws nigh.-£cu«®#& Ledger.
[Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Son.]
THE PRESIDENT AND THE FINANCE
QUESTION.
Bis Memorandum and Why it Was Writ
ten—Proposed Postponement of Action.
Washington, June 11.
The President stated to-day that the'
assertions made to the effect that the bill
reported by the conference committee
would be. signed by him, and had been
accepted in the nature of a compromise,
were utterly without foundation.. He
added that, although a number of mem
bers of both houses had called upon him
with a special view to converse upon the
financial measures pending in Congress,
he had said nothing which could be so
construed j that in reply to interrogato
ries he had merely expressed hiq opinions
as they were solicited by members, and
not with any view of imposing thein upon
Congress,- as the time for him to act was
when the bill was formally before him.
It cqn, therefore, be authoritatively
stated that the President will not sign the
pending bill nor any other financial bill
this session. To make this statement-
more comprehensive it is necessary to
mention some facts, and especially to
correct a large amount of speculative in
formation., which has been sent out on the
financial question generally as it stands
between the President and Congress, and
as regards the President’s views. When
the first bill was under consideration in
the Senate Finance Committee, various
propositions were stated to him, and upon
them he had no objection to give his
opinions. When the Senate bill was
brought before the Senate the financial
question was fairly launched. Within
the next few days not less than forty
Senators and members will be asking his
opinions.
•Thus far the President had expressed
himself merely upon a casual reading of
the bill, but as he had been so repeatedly
asked for opinions he decided to put
them in a more definite shape. With
that design, after disposing of the official
labors of the day, he turned his thoughts
entirely it) tfce bill. In this labor he-cph,.
sumed nearly die eitire night, and by
office hours tiie next day had his memo
randum prepared. That day the usual
number of Senators and Representatives
called, and the memorandum was laid
before them when they desired to consult
the President on the finances. It may be
stated here that this sets at rest the story
that the memorandum was written ont
several days before the date of Senator
Jones’s letter, or that it was written
specially for that gentleman.
The memorandum, as shown above,
was open to any member of Congress who-
called, and was written two weeks before
the first Senate bill was passed. It ex-
presses the views of the President from
the beginning of the agitation of the
finances. It may be further stated that
it was sent to Senator Jones at his request,
but was a private paper and not originally
intended for newspaper publication. In
fact the paper had never even been read
to the Cabinet, and therefore was doubly
private. After the preparation of the
memorandum the growing interest of
Congress in the question had led the
President to contemplate the preparation
of a special message to Congress, but
meanwhile the bill passed, which pre
vented such action, so that his views, as
for as that particular bill was concerned,
were embodied in a veto message.
Pending the labors of the late confer
ence committee the President was again
repeatedly called upon, and followed the
same course as before. It was now pro
posed that the President should draft
what might be taken as the basts of a
financial measure. This he declined to
accede to for two reasons ; first, that it
would have too much the appearance of
dictation, and second, that the views
would only be individual, audit might be
that upon discussion in Congress be would
see them in a new light and feel disposed
to modify them.
The President remarked that this was
one advantage that he had. That in
addition to his own opinions on any prin
ciple or subject matter involved in a bill,
he had also the full discussion in Con
gress. On this ground he declined to
commit himself to any measure. As
already mentioned, the President has now
decided not to sign any bill. He thinks
that the subject should he maturely con-
sidered, and that he Considers cannot be
done now. He remarked that the present
Congress came together when the people
were under the depressing influences of
the panic. The people wanted relief
without exactly knowing in what shape,
and looked to Congress. Members took
different views. The majority in Con
gress, it seems, think inflation the high
way to prosperity. The President con
siders it the sure road to untold disasters
and ultimately irreparable ruin.
Reports reaching the President from
all sections of the country indicate that
the panic has passed over, and that the
stagnation in business is owing entirely
to the indecision of Congress and the
dangers of inflation, thereby disturbing
values. The President thinks that the
wiser course would be for no action to be
taken until next session, as the same
members will return then, and in the
meantime can advise themselves of opin
ions of their constituents from a more
favorable and encouraging standpoint,
and would have their latest views.
The President concluded by saying
that, taking all this into consideration, he
considered it better to postpone action
until next session. He felt a measure in
every respect more beneficial to the fi
nancial and mercantile interests of the
country could then be passed, and the
fresh information might lead to a modifi
cation of views on both sides. |
Among the many wild rumors that
circulate in Washington about Grant’s
ideas and his plans for the future, we
give place to the views of a Western
Senator “an intimate friend of the
Presidents, but who nevertheless, disa-
gress with him on the financial ques
tion” ; .
“He says that the President has made
np his mind to kill the Republican par
ty. He is going to bifurcate it and or
ganize a new party, taking sides with the
hard-money men of the East and the
Democrats of the South. The latter
influence he will secure by alienating
from them to a certain degree—in the
way he has done in Arkansas—the negro
influence and the political control of the
carpet-bagger element; and this' he will
proceed to do in Louisiana after a manner
entirely his own.”
Bayard Taylor is proving by the early
Egyptian records that they had a fine
civilization in that country some seven
thousand years ago, or one thousand years
before the creation of the world according
to the old interpretation of the Mosaic
theology. There would have been some-
t liin gal arming in this half a century ago to
the friends of Christianity, but at pres
ent it will be received with entire compla
cency in all quarters. A closer atten
tion to the language of the sacred histo
rians, greater familiarity with their sub-,
jects and mode of expression, had some
time ago established in the orthodox
mind a belief that there had been an error
in the sit-thousand-year theory—that for
each thousand years there should be substi
tuted a vast, indefinite period correspond
ing with the discoveries in geology that
have been made. Everything goes to prove
that man has been on the earth many,
many thousand years, and that it was in
existence millions before it could have
been inhabited by him.

she is the daughter of a prominent clergy
man of the Presbyterian Church, and cine
of the company of northerners who many
years ago migrated to Missouri. He
there founded Marion College, about
which has been subsequently built a very
prosperous and thriving town. When
Miss Lizzie had attained the age of fif
teen rite was sent by her parents to a
boarding school in West Virginia, where
she remained quietly for abont one year.
She was there considered a remarkably
intelligent creature, possessing a slight
and delicately moulded figure, but at the
same tnfie superb health, while her dis
position, tastes and general accomplish
ments gained for her favor and admira
tion. Then she had a love affair with a
young man named Blackford, eloped with
and married him
As usual in such cases the honeymoon
had barely passed when the two discov
ered that they had made a mistake.
Quarrels were frequent, and subsequently
when a separation was imminent, Black
ford was found one fine morning in ti.
bed cold and dead. Leaving at once
every association which this infelicitous
marriage had created for her, she fled the
South, came North, and under the name
of Lizzie Blackford took np her residence
in Philadelphia. Here she made numer
ous conquests, and secured a handsome
amount of money by compromising a
suit for breach of promise with an unwary
gentleman whom she had entrapped.
She is alleged to have led many married
and unmarried men astray, bleeding
them handsomely, and on one occasion
while walking with a married man was
assaulted by his wife, who struck her in
'the face with a parasoL During all this
time she led a very dissipated life,
but it did not seem to affect
her health, and she constantly seemed in
public a sweet, innocent creature. She
suddenly left Philadelphia and went to
New York, where it is said she led a simi
lar life of gay adventures. So great was
her fascinating influence and so marvel
lously well did she play her part that she
became engaged to a young man, and, re
port says, married him. At all events,
she dropped at this time the name of
Lizzie Blackford, and called herself Mrs.
Lizzie Feenix. Her career in the metro
politan city, however, was exceedingly
brief. The next heard of her was that
she had sailed for Paris in company with
a member of one of the best known fami
lies in New York. It is said that while in
Paris she kept up her constant dissipa-
pation and blackmailing system, though
somehow she moved for a long time
among most respectable American fami
lies. It is also stated that she avenged
herself upon all who offended her and
who refused to assist in the fulfillment of
any of her designs. She figured also in.
other European capitals, and at last, it
seems, has made away with $175,000
worth of royal diamonds.
After the discovery of the robbery she
was escorted to the French frontier by a
couple of gendarmes, and at last accounts
was flourishing in Paris, with headquar
ters at the Grand Hotel. A reporter of
the Paris Gavlois, who interviewed her,
says:
She speaks pleasantly of the adventure
and refers to the Grand Duchess Con
stantine as her “mother-in-law.”
She declares that the only jewels ab
stracted b) the Grand Dnke was a deco
ration of diamonds and emeralds which
adorned the breast of one of those por
traits of St. Nicholas, which wealthy
families in Russia cover with gems. It
was taken by an aide-de-camp of bis
Highness to the Monte-de-Plete, which
obliged him to break it np before lending
2,760 roubles on it That occurred a few
days before the departure of the Colonel
for the Khiva expedition. The unfortu
nate officer was thrown into prison, and
then only were the police convinced that
the frequent robberies at the Marble Pal
ace had been committed by the Grand
Duke Nicholas.
“And were you arrested?” I asked.
“Yes, and passed a week in the palace,
of Count Tropoff, Minister of Police.”
“With the diamonds ?”
“Oh, no; the Grand Duke had warned
me on the previons evening, and I had
deposited my papers and jewels at the
American Legation, where the police
were able to convince themselves that
none of them had belonged to my mother,
in-law.”
Miss Feenix declared that everything
was restored to her when she was con
ducted to the frontier.

MORE MOB LAW.
A Band of Masked Men Drag Their
Victim from His Bed, Shoot Him
Through the Heart and Burn his Body.
About two years ago, at a picnic, in
the lower edge of this county, a general
fight took place, in which Wm. Ellis was
killed, and it was said that Robert
Beckett did the killing. About twenty
or thirty were engaged in the fracas, and
quite a number arraigned at the next
term of the Criminal Court. Beckett,
however, fled the county, and was not
henrd of until abont a year after, when he
voluntarily gave himself np, had his ex
amining trial, and was admitted to bail
uDtil the next term of the Criminal Court.
At that term he was present; bat some
of the parties not being ready, the case
was postponed until the next term, and
he admitted to bail. He was still ont on
bail last Friday, and was stopping at tiie
house of Squire S. C. Rankin, on Harri
son creek; near Havilandsville, in this
county, working for him. On Friday
night Squire Rankin was not at home,
and Beckett, after finishing his day’s
•work, retired for the night, little dream
ing that he would never see the dawn of
another day. During the night some in
human blood-thirsty fiends, by some
means obtained admission to his room,
and fastening a rope with a slip-not
around his neck drew it, chocking him so
as to render it impossible for him to utter
any out-ciy. They then drew him out of
the room, off of the porch, where there
must have been a severe straggle, as one
of the posts of the porch/was broken short
off, and drawn abont one hundred yards
from the honse where they shot him to
pieces, he being, we suppose, already
dead. He was shot eleven times, five in
the-back of the bead, none of the balls
being two inches apart, and twice through
the heart, these holesnot being over an inch
apart The fiends, not yet content with
their blood thirsty, midnight murder, anil
the revenge wreaked upon this man, it is
supposed rubbed his body or soaked his
shirt with coal oil and set fire to it thus
literally cooking the body, baking it
brown from the waist np, and leaving
him. Our Coroner was sent for Saturday
morning to hold an inquest, but the tes
timony given shed no new light upon the
subject A faint cine is supposed to
be had that may ferret ont one or
more of the parties. It is to be
hoped such is the case, and that they
may be speedily brought to justice, and
receive their deserts, for the sooner a
country is rid of such brutal fiends, void
of all principle or feeling, the better.
Vie know nothing as to the guilt or inno
cence of Mr. Beckett in regard to the
charge against him; we only know he
had come voluntarily, and given himself
up to be tried by the law,- and ihere were
no indications that he iqpuld attempt to
escape, and we are oppose! to mob law
under any and all circumstances. Mr.
Beckett was, as far as wo can learn, not
only a quiet and peaceable, tut a respect
able and gentlemanly citizen, .and we
hope his inhuman murderers may speed-
ill)- be brought to justice. He was a
single man of about twenty-four yea
of age.
General Santa Anna having resumed
his residence in the city of Mexico, a
correspondent of a San Francisco paper
interviewed him at his residence in the
Calle Vergara. The correspondent writes:
Having been well acquainted with this
prominent man when at the height of
power in 1856, and on the point of plac
ing a crown on his head, I was struck
with the difference of now and then. At
that time the streets were crowded to look
at the Sn alteza, when driving with a
large escort to thePasoe, and now I found
Don Antonio Lopez living in the plainest
style, an old man, withont ambition, his
face full of wrinkles, but still marching
pretty erect, in spite of his artificial leg.
Though approaching the age of eighty-
years, his black, thongh scanty hair, and
his whole appearance, is that of a man of
sixty. Gen. Miguel Androde had the kind
ness to present me again to his fallen
greatness; he received me and several
other visitors withont any ceremony, and
made ns. sit down near him; to an invalid
officer he gave a tender abrazo, calling him
mi teterano, and inquired after old com
panions in arms, many of whom had died
already.
“I have returned to Mexico,” he said,
because my native country has too
much attraction for me.” When I was
asked abroad, “Why do you long for
youi ungrateful countrymen ?” I ans
wered that I wanted to be buried where
my lost foot was resting. I now feel a?
if I had come to a foreign land. Already
at Vera Cruz; when asking for an old-
friend, I was invariably answered ‘dead!’
A whole generation has passed over me;
and, like the sands on - the desert, the
years are heapedon my head. I met on
the road an old man with a white beard,
who was my god child, and whom I held
in my arms when christened in 1822. I
have become a stranger to all parties. I
have no ambition. I am astonished at
everything I now see in this country,
but I hope yet to find a last resting
place!”
His accent sounds rather strange and
antiquarian; but still gives evidence of a
natural eloquence. He then told us the
curious story about his leg, and in the
following words:
“ Regarding my foot, I must mention
that I believed it lost when the rabble
took it from the tomb on the 6th of De
cember, 1841, and dragged it through the
streets; but yesterday a lady came to see
me, telling me that her husband, who was
an old Colonel of the Mexican army, had
preserved it and recommended her to re
turn it to me if I should ever come back
to Mexico. I am expecting this gift to
day at noon. I consider this conduct the
more praiseworthy because the gift might
have been made in 1853, when I was
President; bat then such action would
have been considered an adulation.”
When asked how he felt, Santa Anna
answered that, in spite of his seventy-six
years, which he reached on the 21st of
February, he did not feel.yet like dying;
that his intelligence was prompt, his
memory good, and that in writing his
own life (of which fifty-four sheets were.
finished already) he hod consulted no
document. “Everything is right here,”
he said, striking his head, “bnt the want
of a leg makes me thirty years older than
I feel. I still remember that, in 1820;
Dr.-Monteagudo made me swear on the
Bible—in Tampa street, No. 24—to fight
for the independence of New Spain. I
then left for Vera Cruz, collected at Sole-
dad 1,500 parocTios, 276 infantry and one
field-piece—this made me a man.”
He had scarcely finished these words
when the lady arrived with the promised
foot. Dr. Antonio opened the box and
examined his relic with interest. The
foot was perfectly mnmified, but well
conserved.
The interview ceased shortly after, and
I was highly pleased in renewing the ac
quaintance of a man who, in spite of his
many errors and acts of cruelty, proves
about the only man who knew how to
preserve order and govern this country.
I hope that Congress will restore to him
part of his confiscated estates, or at least
give him a decent pension.
The only man who now remains ban
ished from Mexico is Gen. Marquez. He
alone escaped when his benefactor, the
Emperor Maximilian, lost his life, and
which he might have saved if he had left
the capital in time to come to his rescue
at Quaretaro. A few daysago the papers
reminded the public of the anniversary of
the butchery of Tacubaya, when Marquez
ordered, in 1859, the assassination of
several students of medicine who had
volunteered to assist the wounded
Liberals. In spite of the dreadful ante
cedents of this man, his friends, headed
by the Governor of Puebla, are working
bard to get the amnesty extended to him,
because his wealth might be beneficial to
said State. We have here another in
stance that the Mexicans are improving
on their American brethren, and that
wealth is a vail to many crimes.

Attempted Murder and Suicide in
Jefferson City, Mo—St. Louis, Mo.,
June 11.—As Johannas Pierre, a French
man, and a woman accompanying him
were boarding a westward-bound train at
Jefferson City yesterday morning they
were confronted by Leopold Hoelderle,
who fired a pistol at Pierre, but without
effect. * He then shot the woman in the
breast, inflicting a dangerous wound, and
fired two balls into his own body, and
died in two hoars. Jt appears Hoelderle
and the woman had been living together
as man and wife three years on the levee"
in St. Louis, where they kept a saloon
and boardinghouse; that he refused to
marry her after repeatedly promising to
do so, whereupon they dissolved partner
ship a few days ago, and she went to Jef
ferson City to meet Pierre, who bad
promised to marry her and go into busi
ness at Kansas City. The deceased, in
duced by jealousy, followed the woman,
with the above result.
The Salem Register, published at the
very headquarters of the witches, mnst be
a Democratic paper, judging from the
following:
New England iNFLUEncE.—The arro
gance of New England—her insolence—
her love of mischief—her many odious
and repulsive traits—will ultimately
alienate the rest of the country, and this
change will be demanded by the people
not only as a matter of right and justice,
but as a means of pnnishment to her.
Whilst she has much that is very bad in
her character, she has nevertheless' much
that is worthy of commendation. In
perseverance, persistency, energy, pru
dence, enterprise, business sagacity and
thrift she is without a rival.
