It is also gratifying to find that the Mini4vs in both 1 - louses, last night, expressed it to be the firm conviction of their minds that the murderer had al accomplice, and that he was actuated only by the hellish principle of black revenge, because he had not extorted from Goverment a comeensation for an tm: just demand.
