TIL r RUINS.

4 r.
were yesterday discovered and disintered
after much labor in removeing the rubish
and accumulated ruins. The BODY was
found in front Of The door Of the vault,
and as if killed in the banking room.
From the remnant of clothes il was anna
rent that he had been murdered before he
had undressed for bed, and constituent
y the mnrderers must have been in the
house prior to the arrival of Mr. Weaver.
When the body was found the head and
feet had been destroyed and portions oil
the hands. From the position Of the
legs and hands it was thought, by many
that he had been tied. The chest and
most of the body remained undes.royed.
The collar of the. coat and the. buttons.
correspond with those wore by MIR Baker
and ring on one finger was identified
as his. A deep cash or wound was
found on the breast which leaves no
doubt of his having persisted by violence.
| thus has terminated the career Of one
who in all his relations with society bid
fair to be a useful and ornamental mem.
Der of society. If humanity has tears to
shed let her bedew the grave of one SO
young and so good cut down in the
flower OF life, with his hopes and his pros
poets just budding into fruition.-His re-
mains will be attended to the grave to
day.-See notice in another column.
The vault Of Mr. Pel,us, in which there
was large amount of money and many
valuable papers, was opened yesterday
morning. and we,are gratfied to say, not
a dollar of the money or a single paper
had been ,onched. The thieves had tried
the front door, but it is supposed failed
in forcing it and the action OF the fire did
not reach the interior of the vault.--It is
some qualification "a morbid one we adj
miD TO know that these Eends were foil.
), ed in the main purposes Of their crimes.
May guilt never reap richer reward
During yesterday, except while per-
forming the last sad Office to the remains
of Messrs. Kimball and Weaver, our citi.
zens were on the alert and reports were
at several times rife, in the city that a
clue had been obtained but a, the time of
going to press we believe no develop.
ments had been made of satisfactory
characthr.-RepubHcan. AprH 20.
i The Sheriff Of Morgan County .4b-
seconded. CHARLES F. Alden, Sheriff of
Morgan County, we are informed by the
Ohio Wing Standard of The LIST inst. has
/ decamped, leaving his sureties and credit
ors to bear the loss of some fifteen hun
dred to five thousand dollars. He wrote
a letter TO his wife, which was mailed
from this city, in which he said he was
4 going to Kingston, in Upper Canada; but
i, is generally believed, among his friends,
that he has gone 10 Texas. The Stand
ard says: .'Charles T. Alden has been a
brawling, noisy politician, in our midst.
As politician he was interchangeable, ex-
erting a more powerful influence for evil
than any he has left behind. 'Democra-
i cy' was ever upon his lips, and he was
one of the most clamorous in his protesta-
tons oflove for the dear people," Won

Fl THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.-OIr east
ern brethren are questioning the right Of
4 President Tyler to a salary as President,
wi,hou, Congressional act. There is no
act providing for paying Presidents
salary to Vice fresident--but there is
one fixing the salary of the President at
$50 900, which we think abundantly
4 sufficient. When Mr. T yer took the oath
of Office. as President, he became such to
all intents aud purposes, for the residue
of the Presidential term. as fully as if he
had been elected 10 the otlice--he incurs
the responsibilities, and is entitled to the
emolumenls of the office, from that time.
Il Ofthis we do not doubt.
/ There is a matter connected with TINS,
of deep interest. We mean the compen-
salion to be allowed to the family Of Pres
ident Harrison lie incurred heavy ex-
pense in preparation for his official term.
in anticipation of his salary. and his fam
lily must suffer the loss unless Congress
f makes the proper appropriation. 1t IS
hoped-and on this subject all agree
that the wears salary may be promptly
appropriated to the family, to remove the
embarrassment occasioned by this ex-
pense. We are sure that all parties will
unite in such appropriation. We hope II
} will be promptly made. The country
! expects it. and will justify it.-Canc'nna'
