IIIE MURDER AT ALBANY.

On Tuesday, the 4th inst., a coroner's inquest
was held at Albany on the body of L. Harris His-
cock, of Syracuse, a member of the New York Con-
stitutional Convention. The circumstances of his
death were these : —Mr. Hiscock was a prominent
lawyer and politician; for several years a member of
the Legislature, and lately chairman of the Judicial
Committee. He was about forty years of age and
a widower. The causes of his death were given by
his murderer apparently with truth, and for the
present at least we accept them. General George W.
Cole, brother of Senator Cole, of California, entered
the United States army asa private when the war broke
out, and attained before it closed to the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel. He was a friend of Mr. His-
cock, married, and with two children. In 1864,
while absent in the army, his wife was taken ill,
and sent for Mr. Hiscock to make her will. The
lady could not have been in such extremity, as her
position appears to have excited the lawyer more to
love-making than to drawing wills. Some very
curious interviews followed, in which Mrs. Cole
appears to have been subjected to strong importu-
nity and insult, at the same time that Mr. Hiscock
professed friendship for •General Cole. The lady
dreaded an exposure, and the consequences of in
forming her husband of the indignities she bad suf-
fered. After the General returned from field service,
he had occasion to visit Washington about four
months ago when Mr. Hiscock renewed his impor-
tunities. The changed manner of his wife appears
to have excited a feeling in the mind of the husband
that something was wrong. She seldom smiled,
and seemed broken-hearted. His suspicions being
aroused, a direction was given by Mr. Hiscock re-
peatedly inquiring when he would again go away.
He wrote to a friend asking if he had ever seen any
improprieties between Mr. Hiscock and his wife,
who replied he had seen suspicious circumstances.
Immediately he applied to the lady, and from her
lips learned the circumstances. At her earnest so-
licitation he delayed shooting Mr. Iliscock at
once, intending first to remove his wife, and
then force Mr. Hiscock at the mouth of a pistol
to beg forgiveness on his knees, for the injury he
had clone, and compel him to leave the country in
ten days. He went over to his hotel to see him.
Mr. Iliscock was leaning against a pillar in the re-
ception-room at Stanwix Hall, talking to Mose 3
Somers and Patrick Corbett. George Cole ap-
proached from the Maiden-lane entrance. When
about twelve feet off he raised his right hand, Mr.
Somers's impression being that he was about to shake
hands with him. lie continued to advance, lifting
the arin higher until his hand almost touched Mr.
Hiscock's head when he fired, and his victim fell
backwards on the floor, almost instantaneously
dying without even an exclamation. The general,
in a rather incoherent manner, kept repeating, " He
has dishonoured my simple, innocent wife." He
was taken to the station-house, where, besides his
pistols, there was found concealed upon him a long
sharp-bladed spring-back knife, from which it is
supposed that he contemplated suicide.
In the Constitutional Convention, ou the sth inst.,
the death of Illr. Hiscock was announced by Mr.

a

Andrew; one of his colleagues, and there was
great crowd to hear the eulogies pronounced on the
deceased. No business was transacted, except the
appointing of a committee to accompany the re-
mains of the murdered member to Syracuse.
Mrs. Cole is a daughter of Judge Barto, of
Trumansburg, Tomkins county, and half-sister of
Henry D. Barto, a prominent Democratic politician,
a member of the Democratic States Central Com-
mittee of the present State Convention. Mrs. Cole
has a large property in her own name, and is re-
ported to have a half-interest in the bank of Henry
D. Barto and Co. at Trumansburg.

A report is said to be gaining ground that Cole
was instigated to the murder by Iliscock having
advised his wife not to bequeath all her property to
her husband.

The Springfield Republican states that a hale and
venerable fellow-townsman, who has paid the compliment
of 43 years continuous subscription to the paper, Las pre-
sented it with a copy of the 80.310 n Chronicle of Juno 6,
1768, or just 9 years ago. It is a small quarto sheet, with
a folio supplement, "printed by Mein and Fleming, at their
printing-office in Newbury-street, almost opposite the
White Horse Tavern." It announces with a flourish the
latest news from London of the 28th of April, or six weeks
previous, and boasts of its large edition of 1,500 copies.

Admiral John A. Dahlgren has written the life
of his son, Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, whose death in the
futile dash on Richmond excited such general national

anxiety.

Dr. J. G. Holland has sufficiently recovered his
usual health to be at work again on his poem, " Katrina,"
said to be his chef d'oauvre, much of which is already in
type for publication early in the fall.

Senator Sumner is reported to be preparing a
work, but on what subject is nct stated.

Rev. Dr. Curry, editor of dre Methodist Chris-
tian Advocate, says the Atlantic Monthly, is the organ of
free-thinkers ; the New York 2'ribune has always been
anti-Christian ; the Nation is edited by polite infidels ;
the Times is "reckless of truth, propriety, and decency,"
and the Evening Post has "Unitarian proclivities." On
this the Springfield Republican remarks—" The good doctor
finds no paper he can read with satisfaction but the Herald,
which ho declares to be "the least dangerous of our
dailies." What a funny doctor of divinity.

The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Re-
publican tells the following story :—A very eminent poet,
resident near this city, is specially sensitive under the
scrutiny of strangers ; nothing annoys him so much as
conspicuousness. The other day he went into a book-store
and was received by an attache who at once recognised his
distinguished customer, and shrewedly resolved to make
the most of his visit. The store was full of customers.
" Step this way, if you please, Mr. -- (in a very
loud voice), step this way, Mr. —; I think we have just
the book that you want, ➢lr. —; Mr. allow- me to
show you this book of plates." And so on fot ten minutes
at least, till every one of the scores of people in the store
sated their curiosity with gazing, and mentally thanked
the officious clerk for his loud proclamations. At last the
poet escaped into the street ; but his persecutor followed
him nearly a block, and was with difficulty shaken off at
all. Such is one of the many penalties of greatness.

General Grant, accompanied by his son and
several members of his personal staff, attended at West
Point the annual examination at the Military Academy,
now in progress. The result of the examination is thus
given by the Springfield Republican :—" The South appears
to take all the honours at West Point this year, strangely
enough, but it is only in appearance, for the students ap-
pointed to Southern cadetships during the war wore chiefly
Yankees. The six highest on the list rank as follows :
Ruffner of Virginia loads, and Sears of Virginia is third;
then thero aro Mallory of Alabama, Rogers and Haupt of
Georgia, and Griffith of North Carolina. in the next six
there aro three Tennesseeans, Pitman, Maguire, and Bell,
while Turtle of Massachusetts, Greer of Pennsylvania, and
Heintzelnr.n, at largo, occupy the other three places. Thus
all the first six and nine of the first twelve represent the
South.
