The Late Horrible Murder at Railway.

We devote a considerable space to-day to the de-
tails of the late horrible murder at Railway, for
which the alleged murderer is now on his trial al
Newark, New Jersey
Take II altogether, il is of the most Singular
murders we have had in this part of the country,
since the murder of Suydam by Peter Robinson
and what renders it still more mysterious, is the
fact that one OF the principal witnesses is supposed
TO be as deeply implicated in the affair the pri-
soner himself.
AS in the case of Robinson, no one saw the mur-
der committed, and the whole proof rests upon cir
cumstantial evidence. 1t was cruel and bloody
murder, and think there is little doubt of the pri.
soner's guilt

The Ball keeps ROlling-AnOther Tremen.
dous Meeting OF the People to sustain the
Executive of the UnIon-The Old Demo-
cratic Eighth Ward Wide Awake!

The friends of the President residing in the Sth
Ward turned out last evening in great strength to
approve of his democratic coarse, in rejecting the
mad schemes of the Clay wings. They met at the
old head quarters, " Daviss Long ooms," and that
immense Hall was filled to It's utmost limits
The resolutions were decidedly democratic in
their tone and each one was received with tremen-
dous applause and when the question was put upon
them, they were adopted without dissenting voice
They approve most heartily of the action of the
President and condemn in terms not to be misun-
derstood, the whole course of the ultra wings in
their continued attempts 10 thwart the wishes oil
the people, by forcing upon the Executive schemes
which they well know he cannot approve. This was
the most decidedly depocratic meeting that has
yet been held: and it may in fact be considered the
commencement of series of democratic meetings
throughout the country in favor of the President.
There was ridiculous attempt made by hand
full Of unruly and dsorganizing individuals, to i'm
pose upon the meeting resolutions which had no con
nectlon whatever with the case but they greatly
mistook the feeling that existed They were pu
down almost unanimously.
We learn that these peaceabe gentlemen, after
the regular meeting had adjourned and dispersed
organized anew, but what was done we know not
and no one need care. The resolutions will appear
at a future day.
