Mr. Howe took the floor on the
Louisiana question. Hotlnightnuir-
I dcr was too common in tho Southund
; was regarded there with much less
I abhorrence than in other portions of j
j the covntry. He did not believe it
could ho gainsaid that murder and '
all other species of violence had been
employed for political purposes in
tho South. Ho then alluded to the
Hod River outrages in Louisiana, the
perpetrators of which were still Tin-*
punished.
Mr. Gordon asked if all the courts
j in Louisiana wore not in the hands of
the Republicans -and why, if these
acts had been perpetrated, those gull-.
ty of them had not been brought to j
justice and some discussion ensued I
between him and Mr. H. on this !
i point.
Mr. If. said ho believed that if half

I lie stopped; and that if the Demo-!

to Gov. Kellogg they would sustain;
him in his efforts to put down law-j

Mr. Marton suid it was well under

said, had been dismissed, and tlmt
ttie colored scholars were sent home
because of the excitement. So much .
for the facilities afforded for the edu
cation of Hie colored children in New
Orleans. He then alluded to the re
eontre between Gov. Wnrmoth and
Mr. ltyerly, which, he said, grew out j
of a controversy as to whether the 1
colored people should ride in til l
street ears.
He then read from tile Lauderdale, j
Miss., .Vf/viO’i/utt article to the effect
that the question of a war of races j
was now before the colored men of i
Mississippi, and calling upon the j
colored people if they did not want, a

party in this chamber to the colored j
race, and in which it was sustained,
lie believed, by the Democratic parly
of the country; that it had uniformly
and solidly opposed all attempts to
improve the condition of the negro,
and had voted against the civil rights

Mr. Kaulsbury said the Democratic
party was the true friend of the
negro, but it did not, wish to put him

Brooklyn, January 12. Tho City
Court was filloil early to-day with tho
friends of Beecher and Tilton. Both
principals to the suit appeared short-
Il v before 11 o’clock. A great, commo
tion was caused by the entrance of
Mrs. Tilton and her father, ex-Judge I
i Morris. They took seats neat* Mrs.
i Beecher. Theodore smiled, but his
counsel looked dumbfounded.
Morris resumed his argument at ll
| o’clock. He said he would speak
j chiefly in relation to Tilton’s expul
! sion from Plymouth Church. Beoch-
I er’s whole action in this matter
showed that he (Beecher) was trying I
|to stave off the exposure of
his crime, when Mrs. Woodhull
threatened to crush defendant, lie <
• asked aid of Moulton. The jury
j could judge defendant, and would
leave his reputation and honor in the
hands of another, if there was not
some terrible secret between them.
Counsel read several letters from
| Woodhull to Beecher to show exist
ing friendship. He referred to the
; meeting of Tilton and Beecher in
j the ears at Boston, January, 1872,
when plaintiff said, “Goon in your
work, I will not disturb you.” These
were the words of the injured man
who knew the crime committed
against this name.
The famous letter ofUe€N*her’s(wh re
he offers to step down and sit), was
read by Morris and commented upon.
He doubted that Beecher would b<*
willing to give up the great pulpit at
Plymouth Church unless he was guil
ty. When ho wrote t hat letter he
fcured the result of the publication of
all the facts of his crime. Morris
continued by saying no man could
write such letters without feeling his
guilt. It was the out pouring of one
wrecked with the remorseful con
sequences of his own crime. If
he was innocent, defendant would
have written to Moulton for
a different communication. The
counsel compared Beecher’s bra
very before the howling mob in Liv
erpool in 18(53 with his cowardice
in this case. He referred to
the Bowen Tilton Beecher tripar
tite alliance, and said it was a
convincing argument of guilt. He
referred to the publication of the
Woodhull story, and said it confirm
ed the defendant’s guilt. It was his
duty to deny wholly and unqualified
ly. Instead of this he continued
preaching Sunday after Sunday. His
silence was proof of his guilt.

ARREST AND CONFESSION OF' Till' AUTHORS
OF TIIE J.KIi COUNTY, MISS., lIOUUOH A
WHOLE FAMILY UUHNIiD IN Til Kilt OWN
HOUSE TWO LITTLE CHILDREN UURNF.D
alive!
Sume days since, mention was
made in the telegraphic columns of
the Anthturh e of the murder of a
family named llorum, living near
Shannon, on the Mobile and Ohio
linilruml in Leo county, Mississippi.
The whole affair seemed shrouded in
mystery, so much so that the coro
ner's jury, which viewed the charred
remains of the unfortunate family,
returned a veroiet of “death from ac
cidental burning.” Since then, the
mystery tins been cleared up, and tho
.tnthmrhr is able to give tho follow
ing particulars, for which it is in
debted to the Agent of tho American
Press Association ot this city ; Tho
victims in this horrible tragedy, were
Mr. Horn in, a young man of 26 or 30
years of ago, his wife and children,
aged respectively three and six years,
and a little negro boy who was acting
in the capacity of a servant. Until
within a few days previous, Mr. Bo
rum had been merchandizing in the
town oft’amargo, in Monroe county,
when he sold out for some six or
seven hundred dollars in cash, and j
removed with his family to the log
house in which they were murdered,
and which was about a mile and a
halt west from Shannon ; his nearest '
neighbor, a widow lady with two
young eluldren, living a half a mile
distant. On Hat unlay, the 6th ult.,
Air. Borum was in the store of Air.
Whitesides, in Shannon, and while
there, the latter remarked that he
was in need, temporarily, of some
motley, and asked Borum if lie could
accommodate him. The amount lie
wan Led was t wo or three hundred dol
lars. which Durum said Ii mid let
liini have, and would bring it to him
the following Monday. There were
presi'iil in the store at this time,
negroes, who overheard the conver
sation. Borum soon afterwards,
left tlie store and proceeded I
homeward. ’The next morn-!
ing (Sunday) neighbors passing, dis
e, ivered a neap of blackened ruins
where the Borum residence stood.
Tlie doorway which had not been to
tally burned, was approached, and
tlie door found locked, but the key
was gone, Search among the smok
ing timbers revealed the horrible
i piitli of the murder. A few feet from
the doorway were found tho remains
of Borum a part of the heart and
liver lying in one mass. The skull,
which had been burned from the
trunk, was found close by, a past of
the brain remaining in the cavity. In
the : hull were found two holes, mid
on the inside two misshapen pieces of
lead the bullets having been melted
by the intensity of tlie lieat, l!y the
side of these remains were found a
pistol that Imd been discharged, and
Romm's [loeki'l-knife, with the blade
open. In the northwest corner of the
loom, wlmre the bed had stood, was
foilnd lln -gluts! lv skeletons of mother
mid child locked in a close embrace.
\ lew feet from 111 is were I III■ ashes
■nid some bones of the eldest child, j
In the east of the room had been the
fireplace, and nen ft his were found tlie
remains of the littlojnegro hoy. The
excitement created in the neighbor
hood by this appalling discovery was
intense. Neighbors flocked to the
scene from all quarters, and threats
of summary punishment to tho per
petrator were freely expressed. A
Coroner’s jury was iniiiaiiiieled, but
singularly enough rendered a verdict
of accidental burning. The citizens
not satisfied, however, dispersed
through the country in small scout
ing parties in search of a elite, at
least, to the horrible mystery. A
whole week elapsed before any dis
closures or the discovery of a single
the murderers. 'The eon
versa I lon that oeei i rreil in Whitesides’
store, ami the fact that it had been
heard by negroes, furnished at least
the color of tlie murders and the
probable motive for tlie net. Acting
on this, a party of scouts on last
Knturduj night, 2d instant, arrested
in the woods, of Lee county a party of
four suspicious looking negroes.
There was nothing to indicate that,
they were tlie murderers except their
suspicious actions In keeping in tlie
woods. After being arrested thoy
were conveyed to Sin in 11 on and close
ly questioned as to their actions du
ring the week or ten days previous.
One of them, who happened to have
just, enough conscience to make a
coward of him, made a clean breast
of the matter and revealed the names
of five confederates who assisted him
in hi* terrible work- threoof whom
were arrested with him—and also
made a detailed confession of the
crime, He stated that being,aware of
tlie fact that Borum had money, six
of them went to his house on tlie Sat
urday night iri question, and having
railed hill! to the door, tho party set
upon him. He drew a pistol and
tired, without injuring eitheriif them,
however, and then kept them at bay
with liis knife. They shot him
in tlie head twice and killed him In
stantly. They then attacked Mrs.
Borum, whom they found in lied,
when one of I hem struck her on
the fiend with a hatchet, leaving
her fur dead. They then killed the
negro troy throwing his body near
the tire-place. After glutting them
selves with murder, they proceeded
to ransack the house, in which they
found, among other valuables, s7(iu
in money, which they carried off
with them Having tiled tho house
in four places, in order to destroy all
traces of their crime, they left look
ing the door behind them and leav
ing the two children to lie hurried
alive. A more coolly planed scheme
for murder and outrage cannot well
pc imagined, and the indignation
created by tiiis confusion was unlimi
ted. News of this arrest and confes
sion reached West Point last Monday,
when a party of about 30, blacks and
whites, started forShamion, with the
avowed intention of taking the ne
groes out of the hands of the author
ities and burning them alive, which
j they have probably done ore this.

! us. Render,
1. Is your business in such a shape
that if von should die to-night, it
might be settled by your survivors
without necessary loss of,your es
tate V Immense sums are lost, and
vast trouble and expensive litigation
are involved, by Improperly kept, ac
count books, timi the neglecting of
full memoranda of unfinished busi
ness.
2. Is your will made? In the
event of your pulse ceasing to beat
before to-morrow morning, would no
injustice bo done your heirs and
those objects of Christian benevo
lence which it is your intention to
promote after your death? Died in
testate! is often the procursor of
jealousies, and heart-burnings, and
injustice, which might nave been
prevented by a few strokes of the pen.
3. Have you paid all your uubts ?
: Or, have yon made arrangements
• that your creditors shall not lie
wronged? There may be some lial
enees against you which you ac
knowledge yourself mortally bound
to meet, but against which no legal
claim can be presented. You in
tend to pav them after a while,
j You have tlie ability now, but you
uro neglecting them. Take heed,
! lest death, coming when you did not
j expect him, shall put it forever bo
-1 youd your power to uo justly.
t. Arc you on amicable terms, as
far as you can be, with everybody?
You spoke an unkind word, and
wounded a senslvo heart. Have you
tried to repair tho damage? That
brother, that sister, that neighbor,
towards whom, in a moment of ex
citement, you acted an unchristian
part, deserves better treatment. You
arc conscious of having wronged
them. Had you not hotter ask their
forgiveness and gain reconciliation ?
To-morrow there may bo no op
nortunity. You know not what may
be on tho morrow. ,
, r >. Have you made God your friend ?
I flint you’have no time to lose. He
! waits to be gracious now. You will
soon stand before him. “This night
thy soul may be required of thee?”
Take Jesus at once to lie your Media
tor and Saviour. Set thy houso in
order.

Among the costumes at a recent
bal-masque in Paris, was a very re
markable and unpleasant one. It
was that, of a baker, with white round
cap, loose white jacket, and long
apron. At a certain point in the
evening the weaver unbuttoned his
jacket and threw it back, when be
neath appeared a close-fitting woven
shirt, on which was painted with con
siderable anatomical accuracy the
ribs and viscera of allayed bony, all
l lie veins, muscles, arteries, etc., be
ing very minutely portrayed. At tlie
point where tlie stomach should have
been, there nppoarod around little
canteen, marked cognac, with a glass
slung on each side of it.
