TOO GOOD TO BE LOST.

The story we published the other day from
the Poughkecpsc Eagle, of General MORGAN
LEWIS, is confirmed by a correspondent of the
Albany Evening Journal, who gives it a little
more in detail. 1t is the best joke Of the day,
saving Mr.. WRIGnr's suggestion to the mer-
chants that they might diminish the political
dangers OF the Sub Treasury, by abstaning
from importatons, and thus cutting down the
revenue! The history OF Gen. LEwIs's brief
speech" to the Mass Democracy is thus told by
the Evening Journal
Gen Lewis began by saying that he felt grateful
for the compliment bestowed upon him; that he was
an old man of 81; that he had been all his life an OBJ
server of public affairs, and probably knew more of
the history of Sub Treasures than most present. that
the first Sub Treasurer with whose history he had
been acquainted was Lord -, under the Colo
NAL Government, lrho turned out to be a large De-
.faulrH!' there there was much whispering on the
stage and Vanderpoel stepped behind that the sec
ond was - Giving the name) who was
also defauuer!! ~ (herc the confusion on the stage
increased, and Gen Mulson and Richard ID. DAVIS
moved forward) and that, in fine he had known but
one man, and he lived next door to him, who could
settle his accounts with the Government as Sub
Treasurer and he able to do so only by the char
ity of his neghbors, who brought him the gold and
silver in little bags as loan that he might seem TO
to have IL to secure his re-apponment and the next
day it all went back where it came from!.! That

From the Schenectady Cabinet.

MuRpEn.---A shocking murder was committed in
Chenille six or seven miles from this city, on Tues
day last about noon. The particulars as far as we
have been able TO ascertain them follows Charles
Cooke, an Engishman, about 80 years of age, who
was and had been in the employ of Mr.. l.. G. Merry
for about four months, came in TO dinner Mr.. NIer-
~ bang abs'n his wife and two children OF 6 and
years together with Cooke ate dinner after which
Mrs. Merry went TO the cellar with some dishes; soon
after she followed by Cooke, who forced her to
the back part of the cellar and her throat from
to with carving knife killing her instantly.
II is supposed that Cooke made degrading pro-
position to her, which being resisted induced him to
commit the horrd murder in the vain hope of escap-
ing exposure. Cooke Immediately iied but was ar
rested during the night and on Wednesday morning.
brought to this city, where after examination be-
fore Recorder Hartman, he was fully committed to the
Jail of this county to await his trial, which will proba-
bly, take place the October term Of the Circuit court
which commences on the the third Monday of the
month. Sin e his comnltal we understand he has
made a full confession Of his guilt.
In connection with this painful subject it is proper
to remark, that Mr.. Merry is respectable farmer,
highly esteemed i'll his ncghborhood and that Mrs.
Merry was an amable and interesting person whose
character was without reprooch Her awful exit from
the and Joys of life has thrown gloom over the
community where she resided.

THE POPULAR VOTE or MAINE.

in Maine the Tory press are this late day attempting
10 create the belief that their friends have been taken
by surprise, and tina, they could have prevented the
result had they but been aware, of the oXertions
theWhgs were making. Were it not that their own
declarations before the elections give the lie this alb
surdty, how completely i, refuted by the amount of
the vote thrown. Prior to this election, the largest
vote ever thrown in the State in 1898. The
whole number then was SO, ll3 of which the Tories
obtained 46 PIG, the Wings but 1850. This was lar
eorby ten thousand than any vote before given
in the State. The vote of the present year is nrotr

TAE WnIos OF TIE Cry OF New YORK seem
to be fully aroused to the Importance of the
great battle about to be fought. The glorious
victories achieved by their brethren in Vermont
and Maine, have animated them to greater
efforts than they have ever yet made, and such
as will enable them with the aid of the Registry
law, to reduce the Tory majority to very small
sum if not to minus quantity. Even the New
Era is getting alarmed at the growing strength
of the Wings in the city, and screams out in its
most demoniac tones, for the subjects of Van
Buren, to Register. Declaring that the Wings
are ahead Of them OH the poll books and that UNI
less they come TO the rescue they will be beaten
as their brother Tories were in Maine.

LOCOFOCO CONFIDENCE.

Notwithstanding the successive and over
-helming defeats Of the locoiocos in so many
States, still they prctcad to feel the most
surcd confidence in the election OF Martin Van
Buren,. Whence comes this Whence is it
that as one important State after another declares
for Harrison, as stronghold surrcnders before
the victorious march of the people, still they
send forth the same boastful predictions and an
nounce their increased hopes, with every defeat?
They cannot depend upon the people, for the
people have deserved them. They must see
that Van Buren, has already lost enough to de-
feot his election, and they can have no hope of
gaining elsewhere; no possible hope of stem
ming the torrent that is bearing them down.
They must then, if their confidence be real, de-
pend upon something else. What that u.s. we
have no means of knowing, but knowing the
character of the men at the head of the govern
ment, the Blairs, Kcndalls, and the Bentons, we
may be assured that nothing will be left undone
that desperation united with treachery and
fraud can accomplish There must be some
plot Matching, some vast scheme devised, OF
which we have no idea, and which can hardly
be conceived by honest men some plan to de.
feat the will of the people, such as was never
before devised. The Globe has talked OF "rivers
Of blood" and other organs have minated thai
means we're 20 be tried which were as yet un
known. Against such schemes the people mus
be prepared, they must not relax their vigilance
one moment, nor suffer any degree of success tc

MARTIN VAN BUREN'S VERACITY.

1t was an unld knnatc mistake in the President
when he wrote the following paragraph to a com
mittee of gentlemen in Elizabeth city, Va:
ave have been compelled to see, not, should
think, without shame and modification on the
part of every ingenious mind, whatever may be
his political preferences, the names of respect
able citizens subscribed to statements, that had
in my annual Message expressed my approba-
ton OF plan, which not only never had been
submitted to me, but was not even matured until
more than three months ai'crth message was
sent to Congress: and an attempt to prove the
untounded assumption by the publication of a
garbled extract from that document, with its true
meaning falsificd by the suppression Of a mate
rial part
In regard to the charge that respectable cit
liens had made garbled extracts from the Pres
dents annual Message Let the Hon. H.
A. Garland settle that question:

officer for the organization of the militia OF the

twill be seen that Martin Van Buren, charges
"rNsperaho citizens" with gross offence of
which they are not guilty. For it is not pretend

ecutive the responsibility OF saying officially, 81
