Bv the last Report OF the late Comptroller, the
6nancial affairs Of the City present most graft

MURDER OF FAMlLy-NEcRo BuRT.-We
learn from the Van Buren, (Ark.) Intelligence, OF
the 9th, that a family by the name of Cox, was
recently murdered near the Choctaw lines, on the
Potcau River.
Mr.. Cox the Integcncer says was black
smith, and had been working in the Indian coun'
try, either among the Creeks or Senlnoles under
the employ Of the United States, and had lately
moved INTO the State, and settled in Scott county,
at the place where he and his family were mT'
cered. An Indian and negro, who were suPpo,,
sed to be the murderers were pursued and arrested
IN the lndhn country, and were brought back ahd
delivered to the civil authorities of Scott county
They confessed that they committed the CRIME
1t appears from their statements that the Indians
shot Mr.. Cox, and at the report OF the gun ME
Cox ran to the door, and the negro knocked !. nI
down with an axe and killed her, and then kIieu
a small child and cut its head off. They tiih
robbed the house, and found something Ike .
thousand dollars. They were placed in Jai Ou'
the populace became SO much cnraged, that taeY
went To the Jail and took the negro out, tied nun
to stake, and burned hun 10 death.

The Warren County Tragedy.
Of the NeWark DAILY Adycftne
WARREN COUNTY, Nav rs


The Investigations relative to the horrd mur-
der at Changewater still going on, and have
no doubt it will yet be discovered who were the
real perpetrators the tragedy. The most intense
excitement still prevails throughout the ncighbor
hood, and may say throughout the county, on
the subject. 1t would seem that nearly half the
citizens Of Mansfield almost wholly neglect Their
private business to aid in lerret!ng out the mur.
derers.
a man by the name of Carter is now under
arrest, and the investigation Of his case before
the proper officers has been going on now for four
days, and is still being pursued The Investga-
ton is conducted privately, no one beng admitted
INTO the room but witnesses, and, very properly
only one of them at time, so that 1t is not known
to the public what facts have been diyulgcd. The
circumstances, however, which led to his arrest
are very strong against him. c. is relative OF
the murdered family, having married niece Of
Mr.. Parks, and shared in his confidence perhaps
as much as any other man. For several years
past he worked Mr.. P.s farm and was familiar
with all his affairs.

The of The dread cataract-and saw
The eddying waves whitening around-and feI,
My Ga bark gliding to the awful brow!
The winds, and dashing spray, and storm
Put out, at last, the pickering lamp of hope,
Leaving the heart enwrapt in sarless gloom.
The past, the past misspent-dark deeds of guilt
Hours long forgolten-al the scenes of sin,
Aud words aud tho'ts, and acts, the hand OF time
Had bloted from the scroll of memory's page,
Came sweeping up, like shadows, DER my soul
Leaving darkness and chiIness there
The future, ray less the unfathomed grave,
Whose winding sheet of waves, lay spread below,
Rose on my vision, till the minds dim eye
Turned back, in sickness, with the vain attempt
TO peer through endless gloom; and the tired ear
Listened in vain to catch the dying note

ufactorles are in lively operation; the de
mand for the great staple of our State
} revived, and the price has somewhat in
creased !; and it is believed that if tn
: present Tariff can survive the attacks O
It's opponents 10 the next Congress, tn
business of the country will be in a per
manent Stale of prosperity, aud, conse
quenlIy, our agricultural productions ir
good demand.
II, as has been alledged, it shall turr
out that the protection afforded to every
interest, except that which is peculiarly
our own, is too high, while the protec-
ton TO that is inadequate, it is surely con-
soatory to reflect, that the portion of the
people, from whom this complaint arises,
may control the ma ority in the next Cou
gresS; and | may add, reasonable 10 ex-
pect, that that majority will raise the duty
on wool to The necessary point. The cor
rectness OF this expectation, however,
time will determine
II should be remembered that the pres
ent Tariff was not secured whou. great
sacrifice. The overweening opinions Of
the President, aud the opposition of the
minority in Congress, compelled the post
ponement, and perhaps the 6nal loss of
the distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of The public lands among the sever
al States, to which they have just right.
This was done, lest the want of suli-
cient revenue should obIige Congress to
pass Tariff highly protective; thus 10,
HIstipCr h., Al. I.,,hl., -
the loss OF their portion of the money ac-
crung from the sales Of the public lands,
and the risk OF having the present Tariff
demolished or impaired While we have
yielded to the necessity of suspending the
Land Distribution, in order to secure Pro-
lection, conceive it TO be our duty con
stantl y TO insist upon Distribution, as
measure which cannot be denied without
trampIing upon the sacred rights of the
states.
Ihave thus used the common privilege
OF every citizen to speak upon some Of
the questions ofnatioual policy which now
engage The attention of The public, mean
ing OF course no disrespect 10 those who
entertain different views. My opinions
may be of small value, yet frankness re-
CURES tina, they should not be withheld.
l thank you most cordial for the hon.
or you have conferred upon ne, aud will
assIduously cooperate with you in pro-
noting such measures for the good of the
people as your collective wisdom may de-
wise, and aid YOU so far as ii is my pro-
vince, in bringing the session to close
