Pleasant. palatable and halgeratiPs• 15Q14 by all 011analatm—PidTt•J (From the Anglo American Times) We have often raised our voice against what threatens to be a great curse in America, the free use of the pistol, and it i s no t f rom any sentiment that we instance the death of ALBERT D. RICHARD SON to point the moral. This journalist was born at Franklin, Massachusetts, Oct. 6, 1833, of a family who had lived in that neighbourhood 200 years, their ancestor, JouN lircuannsox, haring crcssed the Atlantic not long after the Mayflower. Albert early took to journalism, his first productions ap pearing in the Warerley Magazine, Boston. At Cin cinnati he wrote for the pross, there finally occupying a p'ace on the staff of the Cincinnati Gazette; thence he proceeded to Kansas as correspondent of the Boston Journal, where he lived during the worst period of the border ruffianism, which he afterwards graphically described. In 1859 he joined Mr. GREELEY on that gentleman's overland trip across the Continent, ac companying him through Denver up the Rocky Mountains, then turning South, he left Mr.GREELEY on his way to California, while he passed through New Mexico to the Rio Grande, visiting en route Santa Fd and Taos. Again he returned to Colorado, remaining there till 1860 as editor of the Western Mountaineer and correspondent of the New York Tribune. in that year he was sent through the South on a secret journey for the Tribune, passing down the Mississippi to New Orleans and reaching Charleston two days of t erFort Sumter had been fired on. This alone shows RICHARDSON'S daring spirit, for hazardous as was travelling in 1' ew Mexico, as was a residence at that time in Kansas, yet it was still more so for a New Englander of the New Eng landers then to pass through the Southern States as a sort of spy engaged to report for a journal like the Tribune. The outbreak of hostilities left him far South with the task of getting safe back to New York, which he did after a perilous journey. His first campaign was with FREMONT in Missouri ; he was at Fort Henry, Pittsburg Landing, the siege of Corinth, of Island No. 10, of Fort Pillow, and the capture of Memphis, where be was appointed to the editorial charge of the Avalanche. In 1863 he attempted to join GRANT below Vicksburg, running ' the gauntlet of the batteries, and had almost suc ceeded when a shell sunk the tug, killed the captain, and fired both barges, only 16 of 35 persons escap ing unhurt, and all being captured by the enemy. After a residence in Vicksburg gaol they were sent to Libby prison. RICHARDSON'S confinement lasted for more than two years and a half, during which he saw the inside of seven different gaols. After seve ral attempts to escape he got away on the 18th of December, 1864, from Salisbury Prison, walking, mostly by night, 400 miles, till he reached Knoxs• vine, when he sent to the Tribune a telegram which at the time excited much interest, commencing-- " Out of the jaws of death " Out of the mouth of hell." At Washington he gave important evidence touch ing the condition of the Union prisoners in the South ; and his book, entitled " Field, Dungeon, and Escape," sold so rapidly that the publishers could not supply the demand, the number of copies eventually reaching nearly 100,000. Mr. RICHARD SON accompanied Mr. COLFAX in 1865 on the well known overland journey to San Francisco, but he was obliged to remain on the Pacific Coast as his health had been greatly injured by his im murement in Southern prisons. There he wrote "Beyond the Mississippi," of which the circula tion has now reached over 75,000. Last April he purchased a cottage at Woodside, where he has since resided, but he again went to the Pacific for the Tr;bane, and iu September took a trip to Chicago and to Kansas. His last article was on the Chinese for the Boston Congregationalist, which his brother, the editor, received two days before he was shot. He was married to MARY LOUISE PEASE, daughter of SYDNEY W. !'EASE, of Cincinnati, and had five children, of whom one 'laughter and two sons are living. His wife, who resided during his imprison ment at his native town of Franklin. died there it March, 1861. Mr. ALTA et.aso was, we be lieve, born in New Hampshire., and educated in Bos ton. lie was traine las a lawyer, and would have succeeded in his profession, having considerable abilities and many goal qualities, but that he took to drink, which made him for several years a burden to all connected with him. His wife, whose maiden name was ABBY SAGE, is handsome, engaging, clever, and well educated. As her husband earned nothing to support herself and her two children, she went on the stage. Mr. GREELEY, touched by her posi tion, became a kind friend ; and generously endea voured to help her husband as well as the lady, and thus the three, Mr. RICHARDSON, Mr. and Mrs. M'FARLAND came to belong to what is called in New York the Tribune set. Through the influence of HORACE GREELEY, BPFARLAND ob tained employment under Government on different Occasions, and on the Tribune, being assistant-asses sor of Internal Revenue under Mr. CLEVELAND at the time of the assassination, and this accounts for his awaiting his victim in the office of that paper. Some three years ago Mr. RICHARDSON occupied rooms in the house where Mrs. 111.‘Fan- LAND boarded. At that time she had separated from her husband, with the mutual understanding that they should obtain a divorce. His intemperate habits had led to the separation, for she could not support the family thus burdened, and would not endure his cruel conduct when drunk. Upon thesepa ration it was arranged between Mr. RICHARDSON and Mrs. M'FARLAND that they should he married after she had procured the divorce, and it was on these terms that their intimacy was maintained, with the consent of many friends on both sides. Mr. M`FARLAND at that time intercepted a letter from RICHARDSON to Mrs. M'FARLAND, which he said frenzied him. three d tys later, at eleven o'clock on a dark rainy night, in Nlarch, 1867, Mr. RICHARDSON was escorting Mrs. MTARLAND home from the theatre, as he often did, when Mr. M'FARLAND, who had been lying in wait, began firing at him, but though the muzzle of the pistol was almost at the back of his enemy only one shot in three took effect, entering RICHARDSON'S thigh,and that wound was so slight that it did not keep him in bed more than a week. RlCllARDSON,closing,threw M'FARLAND on the ground, awl kept him there till the police secured him, but he did not prosecute the case. The lady sought a divorce in the proper place, Indiana, and some two months ago, as a matter of course, succeeded, but M'FARLAND, who had commenced a civil action against RICHARDSON for $45,000, grew furious when their plans were thus far matured, and swore that he would kill Mr. RICHARDSON if he attempted to marry Mrs. M'FAR LAND. Further, Mr. M'FARLAND was informed that Mr. RICHARDSON was getting rid of his property with a view of evading the probable result of the action, and of settling in California; and it was under these circumstances that he went to the Tribune office and awaited his victim, who he knew would call for letters about five p.m. Mr. M'FARLAND is little less than 50 years of age, and his wife was two or three years younger than RICHARDSON. Hence this tra gedy has been enacted by people who might have been expected to have grown out of the romantic and reckless period of life. The subject brought up is the degree of culpability attaching to a man's act who thus avenges what he has pronounced to be his wrong or dishonour. The Tribune is furious, but its indignation is clearly provoked by personal feeling, Mr. RICHARDSON having been its valu:d employe and the personal friend of the editor and its staff. But other journals discuss the matter more from au American point of view, and it is clearly of advan tage that it should be calmly and dispassionately commented upon. Essentially Americans are send mental ; indeed there are no other people so ruled by sentiment. A woman may with impunity deli berately and cruelly murder any man against whom she can, with any degree of truth, allege an insult to her honour. man may shoot another on sight who or do lma in thinway trenched upon his peace mestic felicity. True he will be arrested, all the circumstances will be minutely inquired into by the Press as well as by the Courts, but this has invariably ended in the homicide being acquitted and retaking his place -in society. Nor does the Government regard a man thus stained with the blood of his fellow -citizen as in any effectual degree barred from serving his country even in the highest posts. At this moment General SICKLES is American Minister at Madrid, and General COLE has, we understand, just been appointed to a place in the New York Post-office. Is it, then, surprising, thata half-crazed person should make the sacred precinct s:of the Tri bune office the scene of his homicidal exploit. lie wants notoriety ; he wants something to assuage his wounded feelings ; he works himself into a hatred of the man who is to profit by it if he did not cause his misfortune, and as this can all be carried out by simply raising a pistol and pulling a trigger he takes that course; but the imminent chance of capital nt would have a strongly sedative effect on '•a craze." If sentiment cannot be extracted from one side it may be flout the other, and if the crozy, drunken M•FattLaND cannot furnish it the talented correspondent who he has made his ‘ictint can. The de:tat-bed scene of RICHARDSON was one of the most torn mile ever enacted ; ind;..eil, romance overshadowed Mr. RICHA RDSON'S life, culminating far beyond fiction in his death. The morality of the death-bed wedding, with the divorced wife, is not for us to discuss, considering that around his couch stood divines of the highest character, his friends and near relatives participating in the cere mony, whik the lady was supported by her mother and women of repute. ABBY SAGE devoted herself to the memory of the man she loved with a singleness of purpose which found favour in the eyes of both his and her friends. Mr. BEECIIER, in a funeral sermon, declared the lady to be both legally and morally justified in separating from a brutal hus band, who, he insinuated, had given her the reason which..all the world pronounces to be suf f icient. lie asserted his belief in the purity of Mr. Ittcrrann- SON'S motives, although his conduct might not have been marked with prudence. "If," he said, "I believed that this man, by whose corpse I stand, had broken down the wall, and plucked the fairest flower in a neighbour's garden, and that he was struck dead for such a crime, surely I would say no word here to-day." It is advisable that the &anti tnent should be on RICHARDSON'S side, if romance is to be made out of it, rather than on that of the man who has so audaciously, after appealing to the law, after emptying his revolver on a former occa sion at his victim, and in a way so cowardly, has con stituted himself a judge, a jury, and an exe3tt tioner in his own quarrel. The London Standard, in its severe strictures on the death-bed marriage, has been misled by its correspondent, still we are not prepared to say that it had nothing more to justify its remarks.
