TDAv1D LoNGENEcKER, ESQ.,, President
OF the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad
is mentioned as candidate for the State
Senate in Lancaster county. A first rate
selection, if MIR. Longenecker can be indu-
ced TO accept. We have also heard the
name of Judge HelIenstein suggested as a
suitable candidate for this county as Senator
or member of the House. The Judge
would unqueslionably make an excellent
representative, but like Mr.. Longenecker,
it is doubtful if he could be induced 10 ac-
cept the nomination or the office.

AWFUL AND PROBABLY FATAL ArYRAY.-Iast
Saturday night about half past eleven oclo k one
Of the most brutal ARRAYS took place In drinking
establishment that ever disgraced our city. Mr..
Peter Mccormick and Mr.. AlexisJ. Champln met
IN Mr.. Mensing's baroom in Market, between Meet
ing and King streets. Champlin extended his hand
to Mccormick, who refused its acceptance, saying
he never took man by the hand who had broken
bis word. Champlin denied having done co. where.
upon Mccormick slapped his face. This aroused
the anger Of Champlin to an ungovenabc degree
and he asked those present TO give him knife or
out. According TO the evidence elected from one
Of the witnesses before Justice SHREDDER yesterday
Champlin returned In short time accompanied BY
some thirty or forty persons, among whom were
MeRn. Davis and Knight. Mccormick was standing
at the bar with friend, when II II IL ALE ged that
Champlin rushed In and made plunge with knife
At his throat. making frghtful gash, and causing
bringing both TO the ground. Mccormick seems to
have been rendered perfectly insensible BY the first
blow; nevertheless Champln repeatedly plunged
the knife into diherent parts Of his BODY. Davis
and Knight It is asserted, were not idle bat on the
contrary both are said TO have participated In the
sanguinary assault. Having satisfied their fearful
passion upon the now helpless man, the trio made
on the spot few minutes after the fight. McCor
mick was carried home where, upon examination Of
his wounds, IL was found he had received nine dis
tnct stabe-one In the throat, two In the side and
the rest In the back and about the breast He was
also much bruised from kicking. Up to late hour
last night the attending physician had no hope Of
his recovery; indeed, IT was not believed that lie
could survive till daylight Davis was arrested and
lodged in Jail yesterday, but Champiin and Knight
had not been seen by the police since the ARRAY,
although IL is reported that the former Was In the
city yesterday.-C Charleston Standard, July II.

The Grave Robbery.

Iron the Roclport (ninos) Democrat, July H.
Last week we stated that the body Of . female
had been taken from the graveyard on this side Of
the river. We supposed at the time, although we
did not say so, that the body had been disnterred
for the btneft of surgery, and that some novice 10
surgery rejoieed In the possession of subject for
the scallel; but since our issue Of last week we
have learned tina. il was exhumed by different sorts
Of persons, and for different object. This we are
glad to know, and earnestly hope our cemeteries
may never be desecrated by the unhallowed feet of
the pody snatcher-that being who visits the last
resting place OF nortals at the "witching hour"
ana violates the sacredness OF the place by robbing
the grave OF its dead, and that, too, for pay.
As the circumstances which led tothe examination
OF the BODY may interest readers, and the act
ors IN the trai saction, both before and after the
demdafion OF every hgh.minded, honorable citizen,
we give ths m as they were given us, forbearing to
publish the names Of any Of the parties The female
In question had been sck for some time previous to
her death, but not so severely as to preclude her
from nding out occasionally and visiting among
ner relatives. Until within two or three months, or
such matter, she had lived with her relatives, who
resided few miles west Of this city, and on their
removal farther west she came to this city, and for
time lived with o relative--a sister, we believe.
Desiring to visit the country again 81 was taken
to the house OF another sister, who lives two or
three miles out, where she stayed o few days. and

far az lay In her power. But how was she received
by her sister Not as one sister would be supposed
TO receive another, with open arms, kind, loving
words, and heart running over with love and
affection for her own kith and kin. She was at
first upbraided for her temerity in venturing ont
while IN 80 precarious situation, and finally, alb
soIutely refused admitsance into the house, this
afectonate sister asserting that, II she was able
to ride out, she was able to ride back" Thus ne

weary OF world where Hieterly love grows cold she
returned back to die. She died. At the funeral
this sisters tears, we doubt not, flowed freely.
She was buried. On the next day, or the day
after, she was taken up by her sisters husband,
carried home, and re-buried on their farm. What
induced this new-fedged affection, after she had
ceased 70 exist and been deeenty Inferred, we know
not. We should think they would much rather
have had her remains further from Them after treat

Murder and Lynching In Texas.
TWO MIN SHOT BY DIR. LINTON, FORMERLY OF TIL


U.S.. NAvY-LINroN LYNCHED.
From the Nueces Valley, June "a.
We have learned from several persons who have
aair occurred in that place about two weeks since.
AchQes Contra, an Italian, and Don Pedro Carera,
Mexican, were killed by DR.. Linton. The former
was band master Of the Fifth Regiment OF Infantry,
and the latter principal of the Mexican Maroma,
and il was during Don Pedr0's exhibition that he
Was killed.
There are various reports in circulation relative to
Mia transaction, and the only definite conclusion we
can arrive at nom all the information received is
thaA two men were murdered without any apparent
sa1se or pr0v0cation, and the murderer hung under
The solemn condemnation and sentence of his honor
Judge Lynch. We have been informed that the
dimcnty by which three persons were launched into
eternity grew out Of an insult given by the doctor
TO the wife Of the bandmaster, who was present at
the exhibition.
The band master reprimanded the doctor for the

Decd he escaped to the west side Of the Rio Grande
hut committing another outrage, IS stated, the
Mexican side of the river, he was apprehended by
the alcalde and placed in the calaboos.
The next day the citizens of Laredo held o meet

and demand Linton OF the Mexican authorities The
Alcalde refused to give him up, but informed those
