WHITE & McINTOSII, Proprietors, VOLUME VIII Love and Murder. JL BRAZILIAN JUDGE THE SEDUCER AND MURDERER OF A YOUNG GIRL. Ri. Janeiro Correspondence New York Herald. August 17th the Capital of Maranbam ■was roused from its eustoma’y inanity by the discovery of an atrocious murder, committed bv one of its chief men, high in the judicial ranks one of the Judges of the Tribunal of Commerce of Maran ham—a tribunal whose jurisdiction ex tended over one-fourth the immense Em pire of Brazil. Desembargader Ponte* isguciro, the murderer, was a Judge of high reputation as well as of high category, a widower, sixty-five years of age, whose charactei was unblemished, save by a lia Ison, trivial in this countrvof easy morality, with a girl of fifteen to sixteen years, which commenced about two years ago when she was only fourteen years of age. l'ue girl was of notoriously loose character, but the old Judge was infatuated witn her, and for more than a year he bore with her vagaries, her thefts, her drunk enness and her infidelities. At last the strained bow broke, the deep infatuation which had possessed him turned to a deadly hatred, and it would seem that about a year ago he employed a Lieuten ant to make away with nor, or, as this officer now' asserts, to inflict a severe iloging on her. Hisagentfailedhiin,and by the advice of his friends the old Judge obtained a year’s leave of absence and set out for a neighboring Province, appa rently to forget her. But, even absence seemed only to have strengthened his murderous lougiug, for in three or four months he returned to Maranham, bringing with him one of the numerous bravos who furnish the weap ons for personal or party hatreds in this country, a man mimed Guilbeimine, and the bottle of chloroform which played a conspicuous part 'hereafter, TIIE DEADLY DEED. Immediately after his return the old Judge renewed his relations with the girl, and these continued without inci dent for nearly three months. But on the 14th of August the ancient lover call ed the girl to his rooms, which were on the first floor. He received her wit ca resses and kind words, set before her sweetmeats, and when she hud betaken of them desired her to enter the adjoin ing bed-room. Behind the door vas the bravo Uuftlrrrmino. and as the girl passed it, he darted on her,' sqrnw-* Ur., by (he throat and thrust a gag into her mouth. This done, the old Judge rwdi <ed in to satiate his hatred, so long dis tgulsed. He forced the pinioned and gag (sged girl to inhale chloroform, and when ,«hc dropped senseless at his feet In' stab ! bed her repeatedly with a poniard in the ’heat and stomach, cut. her head nearly • off, and throwing himself upon her, act u ally bit her like a ravenous beast, in she rn.idnests of his rage and hatred. This he .has told himself. CONCEALING THE BODY. 'ltihad been no part of the Judge’s 'plan to sacrifice himself while satiating bis murderous spirit. Some time before he had obtained zinc lining for a small : tract iing ease, such as they transport on l.mal-s, and he had had himsslf taught, Ihotw to solder, providing bimseif with Bolder, acid and a tool. Into this case the i body of the unfortunate girl was forced, .and the zinc cover was carefully soUlered idown after filling the box up with lime. A passage to Cara was tuki n for Guil .hermino, and the case was to accompany him, to he dropped into the sea during the voyage. INQUIRY. Two or three days more and the bravo would have left with his charge ; but meantime the mothers and the familiars of the girl had become alarmed at her continued absence. To their inquiries the Judge replied that he kn<-w not where she was. The Pasport Office was examined, but nothing showed she had left the city. The police were communi cated with’and after much hesitation for Dcsenibargader is an awe-inspiring rank and can be dealt with only by the Supreme Court "the Chief of Police him self, with a large force, surrounded the house at midnight, on the ltith, and in the morning proceeded to A SEARCH OFTHEPREMISES. As for the Judge himself they did not dare to hinder going out to take, as he said, a walk. The house was vainly ran sacked ; but in the garden, just under the house eaves, some signs of disturb ance of the earth directed attention to a spot. The cutlasses of the police soon disinterred a case, and, on jobing a hole into it, blood and fetor issued from it. By medical examination the body of the girl was found doubled up in it, the head and one leg nearly severed from the body ARREST. Four accomplices were at once arrested; Dut, owing to the immunities of his rank, the Judge could not be taken unless by an order of the Supreme Court, and all that could be done was to cause him to lie accompanied by a police official of the rank of Captain. The necessary order, however, will go on from Rio on the 10th to bring him here for trial.

Congress having been held in that city, ; and among the names of those mentioned |as having been present, .1 read that of Mrs. Maria Jourdan Westmoreland, of Atlanta, Georgia. This renegade daugh ter of the South, whose "hungry heart,” ! it seems, has at last found food congenial to its unhallowed cravings, has publicly intimated, if not positively asserted, that the germ of Woman’s Rights and i'ree ; loveism lies dormant in the hearts of Southern women, and that if lecturers (or leeturesses, rather) were sent to us we would welcome them with joy, and would soon organize societies of that sort at the South. Now, sir, 1 think that ev | cry true and virtuous woman in our lie loved land should contradict this foul slander, and clerk, as far as they can, any attempt that may he made to iutro i duee this hydraheaded monster, Woman’s Rights, and its vile offspring, Freelove ! isju, into our hearts and homes. Mrs. ,W. also offers to give to lecturers who j mav wish to come, letters of introdue , tion to prominent Southern ladies. Shade of Virtue protect us ! 1 ask, in the name of truth, what Southern woman of true refinement, moving in the genuine first circles of society, would accept such a If t : ter of introduction Y 1 blush with shame for the State of my adoption when I seethe name of one jof her daughters enrolled on the iufa j inous list of “Uusexed Viragos,” as you have most appropriately designated i them. No ! never while the life-stream bounds in our viens, mingled with the j blood of Southern heroes; never while, the intellectual galaxy of the South is studded with such names as Augusta Evans, Caroline Lee llentz and a host, of |o: rs, whose influence for good has been j felt throughout our sunny land; never while the portraits of such men as Robert j E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson hang over I our mantles, will any true daugther of the South unsex herself to become a by word of contempt with all the good and pure among us ! ’Tis true there may lie a few women at: the South with “hungry hearts” similar to Mrs Westmoreland s, but, thank God, they are very few' in-1 : deed. Our hearts are hungry for the! unsullied home love, the eudearingearess i and approving smile of the companion we hold nearest and dearest on earth, for the r< sport and esteem of our friend* and neighbors, for the blessings ot our ehil id»»u as life's journey draws to a close, and above all, tor that glorious recom pense font on High : “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou in ; to the joys of thy Lord.” South Carolina. j Valdosta, Ga , Oct. 28th, 1873. Sharp Practice. A Washington letter to the New York ! Sun relates an incident connected with the suspension of the First National Bank ! of the former city, which shows that a banking house of the highest pretentious at the Federal capital, enjoying the spe cial patronage o. the administration, can sometime* stoop to practices which are, as discreditable as the tricks of a Peter Funk auction shop or an old time wild j i cat bank. A Staff officer of the army : went to the First National Bank about | noon on theday of its suspension, but be fore any intimation bad boon given that I it, was not perfectly sound, and deposited about 85000. The money was counted, received, and 1 he depositor congratulated himself that his money was safely lodged in the keeping of those renowned bank- I ! ers the Cookes, who by the extraordinary I favor of several (idininistrntionH had, amassed a fortune of many millions out jof nothing. The officer went down the stall ease, follow ed by the janitor, who | immediately began to close the doors. The officer asked why he did this, and; the jan ; ter replied that, he was only obey- j , ing orders Alarmed by this sign, he re turned up stairs, demanded 1 is money, j and was answered, “It is too late.” Jhe Sun’s letter adds : “’! he lips of that, oi fieer are sealed, but they may be op 'tied by a Congressional investigation.” A Father Shoots Himself on lljh Son’s Grave. The New York Evening; j Post of Wednesday says : Coroner Meeks ■ of Mount Vernon, was summoned to-day j to hold an inquest at Woodlawn Ceme tery, on trie body of John G. Hoffman, a j native of Germany, aged fifty years, late a resident of Morrisania, who committed suicide Tuesday afternoon, on the grave. ; of his son, who was buried in the eeme-! j tery in 1865. Some laborers in the ground heard the' reports of a pistol, and on proceeding to; the spot from whence they came, found j Mr Hoffman with a double-barreled pis tol lying by his side. He had taken off his coat and Avorsted jacket, and (lis | charged both barrels into his left side. The balls had passed through his heart. Upon his person av»s found a note writ ten in German, addressed to the Super intendent of tire Cemetery. The follow ing is a translation of its contents : “Mr. Deerino —Mg Jtear Sir : I am very sorry to give you some trouble. I am glad to go where 1 shall rest, in peace. Mav all excuse me. lam tired of life, j and would like to die. If it should be I refused to bury tne in Woodlawn, I would like to tie buried back of my son s monument.

TEACH THE LITTLE GIRLS, j Teaching children, to work is about the ; hardest kind of work. Most mothers are i unwilling to take the time and trouble i necessary to teach their daughters the 'little womanly arts of sewing, knitting, | crocheting and the simpler kind or em broidery. It is left for someone else to J take the trouble, if they are so fortunate jas to secure a teacher. Often the little i one looks on with longing eyes to the ' nimble lingers of a young companion | Avho can fashion such beautiful things | with the crochet needle and ball of bright i wool. The common task of picking up chips, Avashiug dishes and dusting rooms, seeiu such mere drudgery in comparison. S Some little variation of this sort would greatly brighten the dull day. We’huve too little patience in teaching children. If they could learn all in one ■ lesson, we should be satisfied; but tiny tire after a few moments practice, and | wish to turn to something else. Tin y | are sure to t ake up a stitch wrong after i we have told them dozens of times, and j so we lose our patience and the child ! quickly follows the example. Someone j recommends, when we are vexed at chil- I dren for dullness in doing their tasks, for the teacher to sit down and write a page with their left hand. Remember that a child is all left hand when he be | gins to t ain his muscles. We make too I little allowance for his training of the | muscles in ourselves, and fancy we always i knew such simple things. 1 It is worth taking a great deal of time to teach our daughters these little useful arts. It. is part, of our life-training, and a very important one of ours. The les son in patience alone is worth more than the time we spend. They are happier for their ability, and soon grow skullul by practice, and learn to turn their knowledge to account. I know a little girl of five who takes the greatest delight in making little book marks on perfor ated paper to give to herfriend*. It was Ia task for her mother to teach her un skilled fingers, but it Inis been a great ble-sing to the child, simple as the lesson | • was. Whatever helps to educate the muscle in a right way, and train the heart to loving, thoughtful consideration of others, is worth more than gold to our children. Country Gentleman. lfow Daniel Drew Spells “Door." The Chicago Post vouches for the fol lowing story : A good story is told by a friend of Daniel Drew, which the news of his illness calls up. Remaining one evening late in the office, :uid Inning oc casion to use the safe, he permitted the cashier to go home, remarkt hat he would close the safe ami fix the combina tion on the Avoi d “door.” But win n ( lie j cashier undertook to open the safe in the | morning he found the lock ret used to yield to the magic "door.” He tried] and tried again, without any success. j Finally, happening to remember that | Daniel’* early education had been neg lected, he ittributed his ill luck to poor! j orthography, lfe therefore tried tie lock upon “dore.” Still no success; and then upon “dear,” with no better for tune. Finally, becoming disgusted, In proceeded to the St. Nicholas, routed "Dan'l” out of lbs choicest morning nap, and as he stuck his nightcap out ol the door tlx colloquy ensued : “Mr. Drew, 1 can’t, open the safe on ‘door.’ You must have concluded to change the word.” "Oban go the word! Nothin’ o’ the kind. 1 shut it on ‘door.’” ] “Are you sure, sir r” “Mure, sir, you j turn'd ape; of eonrs • I’m sure ! Go back j to your work, and don t come foolin , routi’ here this time o’ the morning.” j “Well, perhaps, Mr. Drew, I can’t spell j the word light. How del you spell it r , “Spell it! Any fool can spell door, j D-o-a-r-e, doare, of course, sir. If you | can’t spell door, sir, you’re no cashier for | me. Pack up your duels and go out of ! the‘door.’,” And shutting the “door” I in the cashier’s face Hamel returned to! his bed in a passion, and the clerk to his j safe. Armed with the open sesame ot j “doare,” however, the safe flew open j without futher trouble, and when Daniel j arrived, mobfied by' a good breaklast, and ljis morning prayer, he advised his cash- i ier that he might keep Ins place provided ; he would improve Ins time and “go tu spellin’ skool in the evenin’.” The Disobacefui. Goat. There is an * old goat owned on Lewis street, whi'di i has revived a great deal of train:ug from i the boys. Last, Fourth of July flaw dis- j covered that if they stuck a tiro eraek-T ] in the end of a crate and held it at W'il- j liam, he would lower his bead and go for them, and they have practiced the trick so much that the gent, will tackle any human being who points a stick at him. Yesterday noon he was loafing near the corner of Third and Lewis streets, j when a corpulent citizen came up and] stopped to talk with a friend. They hap- j peiicd to speak of sidewalks, when the ; corpulent citizen pointed his cane just to i the left of the goat and said ; “That’s ] the worst peice of sidewalk in this town. The goat had been eyeing the cane, and J the moment it came up he lowered his ] head, made six or eight jumps, and his, head struck the corpulent citizen just on ; the belt.” The man went over into a ; mass of old tin, dilapidated butter kegs | and abandoned hoop-skirts, and the old i goat, turned a somersault the other way, , while,the slim citizenthrewstones at.a boy ; seated on a door-step who was laughing ] tears as big as chestnuts and crying out : ; “Oh ! it’s null to kill a feller !”— Detroit | Free Press.

Editor Sun .-—The events which were the occasion of their controversy between President, Adams, of the United States, and ex-Goveruor Troup, of Georgia, in 1831, may not he known to the young ; men of this day. With your consent I will give a statement of the facts as an I incident of history. This dispute canto : near causing a conflict between the State !of Georgia and the United States. W. ! 1L Crawford advised Governor Troup j not to act precipitately, and that pre vented what seemed inevitable, a war be tween the State and the United States, jT ho ease was as follows: There was a ] com pact bet ween the United States and ! Georgia, that if Georgia would relinquish j her claim to the Territory situated be i tween the Chattahooehie and thoMissis j sippi rivers, the United States would ex- I tiuguish the Indian title to the lauds | within the chartered limits of Georgia, j 'the United States had organized" Terri torial Governments, and formed the States of Mississippi and Alabama, and realized much wealth from the sale of said lands. The United States seemed tardy in fulfilling the compact, andG-eor gia, wanting the lands for settlement, Governor Troup resolved to have the lands of the Cherokee surveyed and take possession, and the United States not, having treated with the Cherokee “nation for the same, President Adams iorbade the Governor from such a course, upon a penalty of war with the “United States authority. Eventually, when Georgiacame in pos session, the State had the lands surveyed, and passed an act to dispose of the same by lottery, each citizen >r head of a fami ly to be entitled to a chance in the draw ing. The Legislature could not have de vised a plan to result more injuriously to the morality of the people. It was the cause of fraud, legation and speculation, and comparatively few really benefited your correspondent was a sufferer, by buying a lot of this land that was fraud ulently drawn. Had these lands been sold by the State, and the money judi ciously invested, the interest would have been sufficient to have supported free schools throughout the State to the lat est generation, and the State would have funds for all the State needs. Georgia has had three or four additions by pur chases of Indian lands, and had the pro ceeds been wisely managed she might at this time have been one of the wealthiest, States iu the Union. Zero. A New Telegraph System.- It; is now announced that the formation of a new system or combination of telegraph companies is about to be consummated. A eompanv has been formed in England j with a capital of lt>2,0D0,00(), for the pur pose of laying a cable between the United I States and England, the terminus on this i side to be at, some point on Long Island. | The directory includes prominent Eng | Mali and American capitalists. A largo portion of the cable is said to be already i (instructed, and all the contracts, if not already signed, soon will be. When laid the cable will be connected with the wires of the nut.malic Telegraph Company, which are now in operation. These wires will be extended along the Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, and Pennsylvania Railioad*. Indeed, it. is understood that J. Edgar Thompson, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, has already given orders’to extend the automatic wires. The object of the railroad co-operation in the enterprise is understood to be a desire to thwait, any espionage of rival railroad e nterprises over the particular | ! messages relating to their business. I ;V. Y. Tribune. Conokfss to Build Houses for the ! Cabinet- -The States fob the Sena-1 tors. In conversation the other day the | President, stated that there were three; things he hoped to see at,least “innrugu- | rated” before he retired from office. “In the first place,” said ho, “I want the ' Government to erect suitable buildings j for all its officers entitled to quarter.] Wo are now paying for rented quarters j about 8175,000 a year. This money and j the interest on it would in a few yearn ] make a sum sufficient to pay for the ] buildings required.” The President ad ded, that, besides, it was due to a great Government like ours that it, should own the buildings occupied by its officers for the transaction of its business. He hopes, too, to see a movement in augurated by 'the several Stmes to build residences for their Senator*. This of course, would be followed by the erec tion of fine, residences by members of the House of Representatives who have large fortunes and can afford it. These views of the President, although entirely new (that, about the residences for Senators having been agitated several years ago), cannot fail to make a favorable impress ion, backed as they will be by his influ ence. It is not improbable that, before the expiration of his term the President will call the attention of Congress to this sub ject in one of his annual messages. He continued ; “another thing I want ]to see inaugurated before I retire from office, is the erection of suitable houses— ! private residences for the members of the cabinet. They are expected to enter tain a great deal, and must live in com paratively good houses. If they have not private fortunes, it requires nearly ali their salary to pay rent, and they have ! little to live on.” The Presidents ilea is that these houses should not only be built but generally furnished by the gov ernment. — Washington Letter.
