"A letter from a gentleman in Green's
burg, to citizen in this place, of The
date Of March Slh, states tha, there has
just been discussed and brough, TO light,
one Of the most shocking murders ever
committed in Christian land. The facts.
as he states them, are, that in July, 1888,
there lived in Green county, about seven
miles southwcs. Of Greensburg, woman
by the name Of Lucinda White. She and
her two sons, one about Is or l6 years
old, the other between l3 and ii, and her
daughtrr-in law, (whose husband lives in
the Southern Slales,) with child IS or
20 months old. were all living together -
In July, 1888, intending to move South
to their relations, a man by the name of
Darlington Simpson, volunteered and un-
dertook tn remove them. On a certain
night, the younger Mrs. White, her child.
and the elder Mrs. Whites younger boy,
were packed on horses, and after they had
gone not more than a mile, they were
knocked in the head and killed, and bu-
ricd in an old house, in hole about two
feet deep. On the mex. morning, the eld-
er boy was sent off under some pretcxt,
and did not return for week. On the
next light after tho first murder, the old
woman was killed at her own house, and
put into the same hole; and The elder boy
returning in about week after, was killed
and buried in the same place: making in
all, trc human beings. Suspicious have
been aAoat for months, and grew strong
cr and stronger, until the 9Th Of Feb.
when Simpson was arrested and carried TO
an examining court, and sent for further
trial. Some go or 10 men turned out to
hunt for the bones Of the murdered, which
they found late on Friday evening. On
yesterday, the coroner held an inquest
over the skeletons. On last night went
to the prison, in company with several
others, and Simpson confessed that he had
helped to kill them. He said that two

Prospect Of Wharf.-The Maine ques-
ton, it will be seen, by reference to our
Washington correspondence, is assuming
a very threatening and beligerent aspect.
Mr.. Fox, the British Minister, has adopt.
ed very undip'omatic and offensive tone,
in his correspondence with our State de-
partnent; and we arc menaced with "con-
sequences" If we don't behave ourselves.
This, coupled with the concentration of
100000 regular troops in the Canadas, os-
tensibly TO keep the rebels in order, looks
very like design, on the part Of Grea,
Britain, to get up an Arostook war, as a
prelude to general one. Our voice is

proper to say, in conclusion, that war
ought not to arise out Of this question,
that negotiation ought TO adjust it and tina,
speedily-and that if the conflict does
come, the rest of the civilized world
ought TO set The seal of its reprobation,
and visit its indignation on the party in

A TARIFF no PROTECT TRADE.

There is, to q class Of men in this coun-
try, a conviction altogether unaccounta.
ble,. that certain remedy for all our COM
plants, social, political, and commercial,
is to be found in the exaclion of large sums
of money from the people by the Federal
Government. There is TO them mystic
virtue in the phrases, "high duties" "ta-
riff" protection" and the like, that
hath nothing equal to il in the Whole phar-
macopia of political quackery. We have
noticed The general movement among the
manufacturers in favor OF a tariff to pro-
tect our "industry"-thcre is another pro-
posed, of which a sketch was given i'll the
foreisn correspondence Of the National
Intelligcncer, which we copied two days
ago, for the protection of our commerce.
1t is the revival Of the scheme proposed
by Dir. Madison we believe-immediately
after the formation Of the Federal Govern
mcnt, for the inAiction upon trade Of a
system Of rctaliatory duties. Thus; il
one nation imposes enormous taxes upon
our products carried into their ports, that
W. should revenge it by exacting an equal
" enormous tax from our own citizens
who may eat, drink, or wear, the pro-
ducts of that nation, and SO on Of other
grades of duties. If they change the tax
es, we change: thus following, faithful as
a shadow, for the Christianlike purpose
of revenge. all the absurdities and caprices
Of all nations under the sun. 1t is evi-
dent that this system could not coexist
with tariff TO protect the manufacturers,
vet so much are they enslaved to the ma.
gic power of high duties, and such conf
dcnce have they that if they can fix upon
the Federal Government the system Of un-
equal and harrassing exdctions on trade,
they can afterwards turn, it to their own
purposes, that it would be by no means
surprising to see the whole tariff party
running in to odo battle for this new scheme:
Indeed the letter referred to, is from an
old tariff man, and written for tariff
press. But it contains some very curious
commentaries upon the protective system.
After having given the world such prepos.
ferrous lessons of unequal and unjust le-
gislation, we might better hold our
tongues, and bear the rctort in necklaces.
1t appears that the duties levied by the
German Commercial League upon the
products Of this country average about 10
per cent. and this are to consider very
oppressive and unfair. What must have
been the opinion of the world about us,
when We we're imposing burdens equal to
$50 per cent? The Germans are "protect-
ing domestic industry! 1t is stated as a
case of peculiar cnprmity, that heavy
duty is levied on our Ttobacco-a good ar
ticle-in order to promote the culture Of a
miserable weed which they call by that
name, in Germany. Here is exactly the
case of the New Jersey lace makers over

worthless lace. because the very best and

previous letter, was the merely official
aud formal one, covering the correspon-
dence between Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Forsyth,
which we publish to-day. That cores
pondence,. however, on both sides, be-.
trays irritation, and bodes the gathering
of the war-cloud; but the more so on the
part of the British diplomalist, who seems
to be but obeying the orders, and repre-
senting the feelings Of his Government
In Mr.. Fox's original letter, military ope-
rations are distinctly threatened, unless
Maine shall retire with her posse, within
certain limits--anh certain "consequen-
cess. are contemplated, the responsibility
of which, it is alledged, will rest with
the People and the Government of the
United States" Mr.. Forsyth's reply is
very decided and uncompromising, as per-
haps it should be, in relation to the right
Of Maine, TO maintain her present attitude
of keeping off tresspassers from the dis.
puted territory, with q civil posse armed
or unarmed,," according to the exigency,
and also as 10 the determination Of the u.
s. Government to uphold the pretensions
of Maine TO the boundary line claimed by
her, until she shall voluntarily assent to a
departure from it, or negotiation shall adj
jus. it otherwise. The rejoinder Of Mr..
Fox, is perhaps the worst symptom Of the
case-it is stiff, formal, and entirely des-
titute Of conciliation, and amounts 10 a
reference Of the matter to his government
for instructions adapted to the emergency,
with an intimation that hostile prepara-
,ions, and perhaps operations, too, will,
in the mean time, be continued by the
British authorities in the disputed terrific
ry. Thus troubled is the horizon with
portents Of war; but we DO not regard the
door as closed on either side against fur
ther negotiation. Mr.. Fox communicates
the gratifying information that the British
government will soon base, OIL the report
OF its commissioners 10 survey the dis
puted territory, an answer to the last and
still pending proposal Of the U. s. Gov
ernment, on the subject Of the Boundary
negotiation; and Mr.. Forsyth reiterates
the disposition of our government to refer
the controversy to the arthtrament Of a
friendly power. We trust therefore, that
nothing will be done on either side, on
the eve Of the conclusion Of pending ne
go,iation, which may prove satisfactory,
10 embroil two countries in war, which
are united by the ties of common lineage,
common lang uage and literature, and COM
mon sympathics and interests, which arc
in brotherhood in the advocacy of free
principles, and on whom war can confer
no benefits, and will certainly inlict and
entail dire and lasting injurics.-I6. 3lS:.
