From the Albany Evening Journal
GrOanS of the EMERGENCY.

The Argus is filled with lamentations for the
fate of the reformed" Office holders. This
leremaid, more than two columns In length,
cannot fail to excite scorn and contempt We
can conceive of nothing mero pitiful than this
baby whine from demagogues who have been
playing the tyrant for fifteen years. Ten years
ago, when Jackson came into power, the black
banner Of PRESCRIPTION was unfurled, 1t
was then openly proclaimed that the admins
traton would "REWARD IT'S FRIENDS
AND PUNISH ITS ENEMIES" Up TO
this evil day, prescription for opinions sake, by
the General Government, was comparatively
unknown But the work of prescription, under
the specious motto of glory and reform" then
commenced All who held office without the
Jackson collar, were hunted down Neither
talents, nor services, nor virtues, were exempt
ed. The prescription was universal. So far
indeed was the doctrine carried, that Gov. Mar
cy, in the Senate of the United States, openly
avowed the sentiment that "TO THE VIC
TORS BELONG THE SPOILS." This
sentiment was responded TO by the whole par
Nv, and By none more vehemently than the
whimpering groveller of the Albany Argus, who
has ever been among the most rapacious pollt-
ical marauders.
But the Argus does not revert TO report
made 10 the Senate of the United States on a
call Of Mr.. TALLMADGE.

1t becomes our painful duty to stat
that horrible murder has been com
mitted In this countv-the first wi!fli!
murder within our limits during a
period Of twenty-nine years. The
circumstances are calculated taex-
cite more than the ordinary indigna
ton due to this dreadful offence. 1t
seems a couple of Germans, not long
in the county, were lately known to
be in treaty for renting the farm of
Mr.. Conrad Christ, an elderly man
residing in Bern township, who was
known to have saved a few hundred
dollars, and to have retained IN his
possession the accommodations of his
Industry. AS Mr.. Christ. who lived
alone, had not been visible to his
Ineighbors for some days, on FRIDAY
last, his house was visited for the
purpose of ascertaining the cause Of
his secIusion He was found living
on his bed, with his skull broken
quite dead-and the body in a state
'of incipient putrefaction. Tie men.
whose names are John Dick and
Frederick Osman, left the neghbor-
hood on Friday night, and it IS since
ascertained, that a gun belonging to
the deceased, was sold by them at
Lash's Tavern, about 3 miles from
the place where the murder had been
committed. Immediate pursuit of
these persons has been made and
we presume will be continued until
they shall be arrested, in order that
the question of their guilt OF inno-
cence of this horrid offence may be
duly investigated We have not, as
yet, heard of their arrest.-B. q. S.

Dreadful Scene.

The Baltimore Clipper gives the
following as an extract of a letter da-
ted Tallahassee, June 9th:
"About four weeks since, as was
passing from Santa Petre, a village
60 miles from Tallahassee, where |
reside, | saw an old acquaintance of
mine from Alabama, by the name of
Livingston, most horribly mutilated
by the Indians. His eyes were
plucked out, his ears, nose, and both
hands cut off He was really the
most awful looking object | ever be-
held Those who live In your coun-
try may talk of the war ending, but
if they were here their opinions would
change. There are no signs of such
thing-it may last, from present
appearances, for twenty years. The
bilious and congestive fevers have
ragged to considerable extent in this
place. Many persons have died Our
streets, as you may be aware, have
been the theatres of some deep, dark
and bloody tragedies; morals are In
deed out of tune. One thing, how
ever, we need not starve, as we have
plenty of fish, game of every descrip
ton, and vegetables in abundance
Those everlasting fevers, fear, vii
long continue to cast a mildew Owe
human happiness in this region"

Organized BegGaFS.

The New York Advertiser men
tons the existence in that city of reg
ularly organized bands of stout beg
gars who meet at regular times and
places to feast and carouse upon the
proceeds of their mendicancy. A
posse of watchmen, few nights since,
pounced upon a beggars' boarding
house, and the whole household were
made prisoners-among them good
ly proportion of children, some not
more than six years old. There was
no sign of want among them; on the
contrary the elements Of good eating
and drinking were In abundance, and
but for the intrusion of the watchnen
no doubt the beggars would have had
jolly night of it. Some Of these
urchins, it was ascertai3ed, collected
more than a dollar per day.

Riot and Excitement at New Haven

The students at Old Yale have been creating
a disturbance Of very serious character at N.
Haven and have disgraced themselves by an
outrage upon public property which Is attended
with public danger, and al the same time il is
uniuslifable and infamous in its character. 1t
appears that on Saturday last the Fire Depart
ment of that city turned on, with their engines
for inspection and review. An auemp, was
made to try the power of the machines upon
the Central Church, for which purpose it was
necessary to lay Two trains of hose across the
upper Green, but the students who were ensa-
ged in playing at foot ball upon he Green de-
termined that The hose should moi be laid a.
cross the Green, and in the face of the public
authorities who had assembled TO witness the
performance, successfully kept possession of
the Green and drove off the department
But the quarrel did not end here Soon after
10 O'Clock on Sunday night, gang of students
in disguise made rush upon the engine house,
and almos, entirely demolished a beautiful ma
