Sinh the Washington Telegraph, Of May 9th. the
Editor says-"Such was the indignation excited in Fred
ericksburg, when Mr.. R%andolph's announcement of his
dismissal reached there, that a proposition to recall the in
vitation 20 attend at the ceremony Of LAYING the Corner
Stone OF the Monument, was seriously agitated and we
were assured, that, had not many of the tickets of invita-
ton been already distributed, Mr.. Randolph would have
been invited, and the Barbecue, given OH the occasion.
would have been the means Of doing him honor, instead OF
Gen. Jackson"
1t is not true that the Monumental Committee ever
thought OF recalling the invitation, to attend at the ccre-
Iuony OF laying the Corner Stone Of the Monument. The
Barbecue was given in honor of the occasion, to which tho
President, Heads Of Departments, ot,., d,sunguisbad
Strangers and visiting Military were invited, and in no
way was the name Of Mr.. Randolph connected with tho
entertainment, by the committee of arrangements
Whatever may have been the feelings and wishes of the
parusans OF Mr.. Randolph, they never once proposed To the
managers that he should be invited.

Horrible JMurder.-The annals Of crime in our coun.
try do not furnish a parallel to the deed of atrocity perpe-
!rated on Saturday night in Morristown, N. 1.-The de.
tails of this shocking event, so far as they have transuireJ.
are substantially as iollows:-
Samuel s. Sayre, Esq nearly sixty years of age, and
formerly a merchant Of Pearl street, in this city, of the
MIN oil Sayre & Toler, being in want of a man to labor
on his farm, repaired hither about three weeks ago, and Sc
lected, on account of the general good character and in
tegrny oil the Swiss, an emigrant from that country, who
mas ultimately proved 10 be his murderer. On Saturday
evening, the latter went into the village of Morristown.
which Is a short distance from the residence of Mr.. Sayre,
and purchased a pint OF brandy. He came back in the
evening and is supposed TO have perpetrated the crimes
soon after hisTeturn.
Yesterday morning a neighbor driving his cows 10 mas.
ture, saw a bundle on the ground before the door of Mr..
Sayre, whose residence he had occasion TO pass. On ex-
animation he found ii to contain female apparel, marked
with the initials OF one Of Mr.. Sayre's daughters. He con-
veyed II to the house and knocked at The door, but receiv-
ing no answer he gave an alarm, and the house was bro
ken open. Traversing the various rooms they finally pro-
ceeded TO the garrett where they found the coiored female
servant dead in her bed, where she had been murdered.
probably in her sleep, by some sharp pointed instrument,
IN The side oil the head, near the temple. The persons As.
semDled next proceeded 10 the barn where they DISCOVER
cd a hatchet with blood upon it, with traces OF blood upon
The barn floor. The blood was also traced 10 an adioining
heap of manure where they stumbled over the feet of Nj
oayre, whose body was partly covered up by the manure,
snu on further search they found by the side of him
under the same heap. the dead body oil his wife, both ak.
hibiting marks Of violence, having their heads laid open
with a Ratchet.
BY this time the Sheriff and a concourse of citizens ar.
rved, VINO were divided into parties, which were sent off
III various directions in pursuit OF the murderer, who was
presumed 10 be the Swiss laborer, from the circumstance
that he was missing, the desks and drawers rifed. and
a iavortte grey horse OF Mr. Sayre taken from the stable.
probably to aid the murderer in ehecting his Escape
Handbills were Immediately issued, and the most active
means put IN requisiion 10 arrest the offender, which we
are reJoiced to say was accomplished about two O'clock in
the afternoon. Presuming that he had taken the direction
oil New York, %Zephsniah Drake, Esq. OF Newark, Mar.
shsi OF the United States for the District of New JERSEY
Mr.. Ludlow, the Sheriff If Morris county, and Others
repaired bitherward, and at the halfway house on
the Newark causeway, usually known as the Mus.
quito Tavern, they found the individual of whom thew
were in pursuit. He was sitting in the inn, smoking
a cigar. They immediately arrested him, and found I'M.
on bis person a pair OF trousers and a hat belonging 10
Mr.. Ssyre, and in his possessio two large bundles, con.
tanning male and female apparel, which were readily iden.
uiied as belonging 10 the family OF the deceassd.-Tbev
also found IN his pockets two razors belonging 10 Mr.. Saw.
re- a gold watch OF Mrs. Sayre, and about twenty dollars
in silver.
The uretched culprit had taken with him a BAG of cold
containing about 5000, which was found at Bottle Hill
about four miles from Morristown, on the road between
that village aud Newark. The horse which he stole and
rode on with, appears to have been restive, and from the
uSeksin Tie road, unwilling TO pass the house of a friend
OF MT Sayre, which caused the wretch TO lose a bag of
JeWery, belonging TO one oil the daughters Of the deceas-
ed, WHICH was there found. Since his arrest the monster
has confessed that the Iorse threw him ON the road and
escaped Tbisis rende. ed probable from the circumstance
