The Washington Telegraph thus ex-
plicitly contradicts the letter published
in the affiliated presses Of N. York last
week, wherein it was roundly asserted
not only that Mr. Duane resigned, but
that he and the "Old Roman" as the
General is facetiously called, 'parted
most excellent friends. After copying
the letter, the Telegraph says
Now, we learn from authority entitled
to the fullest credit, that Mr. Duane re-
fused to resign, and we believe that his
opinions as to General Jackson himself,
and certainly Of those who govern him,
have undergone decided change--that
there is no citizen in the United States
more fully sensible of the dangerous
OF their measures and couEsels,
aud none who is more decidedly opposed
to the perpetuation Of their power, and
of the means by which it is attempted.

From the N. y. Com Adv. Of Friday last.

I HoRRiBLE Yesterday
morning, The brig Texas, Capt. Howard
arrived at this port from the coast of AZ
rica, and from him we learn the follow
ing particulars of one of the most bloody
transactions we have been called upon
to record for some time.
This vessel left New York some time
since, under the command Of Capt. FL
lery, having on board us mate, per-
son by the name of John WalpOle, OF
Philadelphia. Or the 18th of March,
this man was removed trcm Office, for
gross misconduct and insubordination
shortly after which Captain Ellcry died
and Mr. Howard, the second mate, took
command of the vessel. On the 25th oI
May, after their arrival at their place oi
destinaton,t the supercargo, Mr. Babcock,
was taken with the coast fever, and was
removed on shore TO enjoy better accom-
modations, Capt. ii. accompanying him.
Walpole in their absence began to as
sumo considerable importance, telling the
sc amen that he was legally the comman-
der of the brig, and ordered two Of them
to row him ashore in the small boat, car
rying with him two hundred ounces Of
gold dust, belonging to the owners of the
vessel, intending, he said, to dispose Of
it. On Capt. H.'s return, he was in
formed Of these transactions, and imme-
diately started in pursuit OF the purlioner,
and succeeded in recovering the proper
ty. Notwithstanding his vilianous char
actcr being thus exposed, WaIpofe again
came oa board with the Captain, who
shortly went below to take nap, and w.
persuaded the crew to do the like. A
tout two hours after this, all hands be-
ing asleep, he went down into the cabin
with pistol, shot the second mate, Mr..
Smith, through the heart, and then turn
ed to Che Captain, whom the report had
awakened, and fired at him twice, one
ball passing through his leg, and another
lodging in his groin. Supposing he had
killed him, he again deliberately loaded
the three pistols, and went on deck, and
meeting John Gowing, the carpenter, he
shot him through the ribs, and left him
Tor dead. The next person he assaulted
was James Berry, to whom he first show
ed piece Of manuscript, telling him to
read 1t ior he was captain now, and at
the same time holding pistol to his ear,
told him to read it quick, for he had not
two minutes to live; but as B. could not
read, he requested w. to do it for him,
and taking advantage Of his attention be-
ing Withdrawn, he snatched the weapons
from him and threw them forward. The
cowardly murderer then ran for the cab
in, and seeing that the Captain had
crawled from his berth TO the transom,
he jumped upon his breast; but finding
that Berry was too close upon him, he
secured another pistol which lay close at
hand, and fired, the ball fortunately mis-

Instructions TO Wires TO aid The cause Of
temperance. - Coop BREAD.-A writer
in the Norfolk Advertiser, in notice OF
late Lecture of Rev Mr. Wilmington,
says
To married Ladies the speaker address
sed himself at length. There were nu-
merous means which they could use to
prevent their husbands from becoming
Incorporate, "lfyour husband" said he,
"lrequeDts the grog- shop, or spends his
evenings with a social club, do all in
your power to make his home agreeable.
Have your own dress neatly adjusted

erly arranged-preparc cheerful fire,
a ready chair, an entertaining book-and
thus induce him to spend his evenings
with his family. BE careful to have his
meals always ready at the appointed
time; and be sure your table is supplied
with good BREAD" This the speaker
feared he might be ridiculed for mention
ing but he thought it ofgreat importance
that every housewife should make her
own bread, and make it light and good.
"The lowest sot," he remarked, "will
tell you that he is no friend Of drunken.

strange feeling in his stomach that he
cannot get along without little ardent

him for resortine to the. bottle. But still
there may be some truth in his state,

have been increased by q disordered
stomach; and this disorder may have
been produced by eating bad bread
Therefore no wife has done all she can
to make her husband temperate, or keep
him so until she has learned how to make
good bread"
Good bread is in every respect, a We
ry important article Of family consump-
ton, and we hope every wife and every
female who expects to become a wife,
will attend to this subject, and forthwith
learn to make "good bread" A barrel
of -four to learn with is no object. Ifa
woman will only begin at the top ofthe
barrel and learn to make good bread,
by some certain process, by the time she
gets to the bottom, her husband or faith

FROM MExIco.-The mortality occa-
stoned by the Cholera has been no where
so severe on this continent, as it is repre-
sentcd to be in Mexico. The popula-
ton of that city is about one hundred and
seventy thousand, out of which, fourteen
thousand, (or about one in every twelve)
are said to have died Of this disease. -
Within the last three days preceding the
Gath ult. the deaths are said to have a
mounted to between 900 and 1900 per-
sons daily. Were not these irightlul ac-
counts received from several quarters,
and substantially confirming each other,
we should be led to doubt their correct
ness, from tho appalling magnitude Of the
calamity.
The disease was prevailing in many
other places in the Republic, and partic-
ularly in the army, where it is SO fatal
that hostilities have been suspended be-
tween the contending parties. 1t had
also appeared at Vera Cruz, and at the
last adviccs was still existing, but in a
milder form. In consequence of these
two calamties Of cholera and civil war,
business was dull ut Mexico, and the
government was not able to despatch
the conducta rs intended, not having
troops to spare for an escort. The chol-
era had selected its victims almost ex-
C clusively from the poorer classes Of the
peoplc.-[N. y Com. .4dr.

At the last dates from Mrs. Trollope,
her net profit from her book, on the do
mestic manners of the Americans, ex-
ceedcd 80 thousand dollars. For this she
was in no small degree, indebted to the
incessant abuse with which she was ia
vored by the American press. MIR Ham
ilton, another writer of about equal con-
sequence with his female predecessor, is
likely to gather similar harvest from
the same cause. Ii there is one thing
more ridiculous about our character than
any thing else, it is the extreme sens-
tiveness which we exhibit to the opinions
and remarks Of all scribblcrs who choose
to make books about us. Basil Hall
learned our weak side from his own ex-
perience. Mrs. Trollope's book, as she
prepared it, contained many things high
ly in praise OF us. But before it went
to press, she submitted it to the revision
of Hall, and he did her the favor to erase
all the compliments and so made her for
tune, in the same way in which he had
filled his own pockets A man who
snarls at every joke upon him, is sure to,
be the sport of all the wags. The En-
glish travellers have found out that broth
er Jonathan is tcsty fellow, md so they
blackguard him, and throw di,t and chips
at him, just to hear him scold and raise

4 About two months ago Mr. Williams
(who by the way is a warm Mcthodist)
called at our office and paid what was
then due for his paper, together with sul-
ficient in advance to pay up to the pres
ent date, expressing much disapproba-
tion of the few occasional remarks which
had been made by us in relation to the
guilt Of the Rev. Ephraim X. Avery,
and the proceedings Of the Methodist
Conference. Twas partly his intention
to stop the paper at that time, but he fl
naly concluded to try us little longer,
giviag US to understand however, that
unless we entirely desisied from publish
ing what we conscientiously believed to
be the truth, and what at least nineteen

when the time had expired for which be
then paid. When we received the a.
Sove laconic letter we were only surpris-
ed that any friend Of Avery should con-
slider wha: we had said Of him, as sufficient
cause to withdraw his patronage. We
thought our course had been so tempe
rate, and partook SO little Of the general
excitement in reference to the tragedy
at Fall River, that we should have no.

from those friends of Avery who were
willing that others should enjoy the

not answer-nothing short Of shutting the

proof that Ephraim X. Avery is the
murderer Of Sarah NJ. Cornell, will sui-

show, how difficult it is for an editor to
shape his course to suit all his patrons.

VANDALIA:
Wednesday, March 6, 1888.

Both houses of the general assembly ad-
iourned sine die, on Saturday the I'd inst
But little business of general Importance
was transacted for the last three or four
days of the session, beyond what we noticed
last week. The session has been unusually
long and expenslve-Protracted to an unex-
peded length, partly, perhaps, by dlspo-
sitisn with some, to talk rather than act, and
partly by circumstances over which the
members had no control. About two hun
dra and twenty acts and resolves, mostly
of private nature, we're passed, list OF
which Continued from our last will be
found in to-day's paper.
Several measures also as deeply interes-
ting to the whole state as any that have
been proposed during the winter, were dis
posed Of in rather summary way, imme-
di~teiy before the adjournment, to some Of
which we may hereafter take occasion tc
allude.

is said that .he person alluded TO, chad The issu>
ing ofthe rations provided by the Government"
and knew they would be furnished in due sea-
son, which rendered his conduct still more rep
rehensible. The idea conveyed is contrary to
the intention of the writer Mr.. Dixon has
the issuing of The rations, and is known to be
particularly friendly to removal of the lndi-
ans, and it was far from the writers intention
to cast any reflection upon him. The mistake
is corrected by reading ''was knowing to the
issuing for chad the issuing" The error
is chargeable to the copyist, not the "printer."

GOVERNOR CASEY.

This respected and most efficient officer
the government, resigned his seat as Speaker o
the senate and Lieut.. Governor of the state
the LIST inst The business of the session was
principally closed before his resignation, SC
that, in all probability, he had rendered to the
state the last service that would have been re
quired of him had he continued longer in Of
fee. Yet the fact that it became necessary
for him to withdraw from the station he has
filled with SO much honor and ability, we are
confident in saying, is viewed with deep re-
greet, by every member of the Senate over
whose deliberations he presided, and by every
person who was associated with him in public
or private life. The prompt and conciliatory
manner in which he conducted the delibera-
tons of coordinate branch of the legisa-
ture during the late session not only attached
him to the members of itas body, but has
contributed greatly TO their efficient action on
the business before them. During the whole
session, not murmur Of complaint, nor a
WllSpCt Vi ulSSdtlSldCtiOl, tIldt We nave
has been uttered against him; his integrity
stands unimpeached- talents and ability
unquestioned; and the regret we feel in COM
mon with his friends, in parting with so res
pec.ed and efficient an officer, is mitigated on
ly by the rfiection that his services are requI-
red in another more important and more re-
sponsible sphere. As a member of Congress,
there will be opened to him a wider field for
the exercise of his talents and salutary iinflu
ence in the service of the state; and there we
shall expect to see his course equally honora-
bic and creditablc to himself and his consti-
tuents

nation of gov c., Tin another column) Mr.
proceeded to elect speaker pro fempore; Mr.

nearly unanimously, on the first trial, and be
comes, in effect, Lieutenant governor Of the

Though Mr. Ewing has been no great FRIEND
to the Wing establishment, either personally Of
politically yet will do him the justice to say
that in our. opinion the selection for so distin
guished station, was certainly not made il
the present instance without the perception O
merit--he has reason to feel himself much flat
tered by the appointment; the post he occu
pies, at all times distinguished one. is partic
ularly so in the circumstances under which he
was selected to hold it.
