From Neir Nerieo

In addition to oar Geographic dispatches of
yesterday, we learn by ndvccs from Santa Fe,
that Brvt. Maj Cartoons company of Dragons,
Pino's volunteers, and spy company, in all two
hundred men, with two howitzers, march from
Albuquerque about the 2nth inst They will be
joined by Major Griers company of Dragons
and one of infantry from Fort Fillmore, and also
one of infantry from Fort Bliss. the whole force
numbering nearly four hundred men.
That part of the expedition commanded by
Maj. Carleton takes the route by Manzano and
the southern extremity of the Sierra Captain to
point below the junction of the Resideso and
Bonita rivers, where depot will be established
as the centre of operations. Here they will throw
up small breastwork, and place within it the
two howitzers. They carry with them provis.
ions for three months, and the object is to scour
the country in every direction, and chastise the
Mescalero if necessary to do so. Since this ex-
petition was organized the Mescaeros have sent
in to make peace. They represent that they
have had a general council of the tribe, and that
all are in favor of peace, and desire to make
terms.
In the conflict between the United States troops
and the Indians on the 10Th ult., there were IL
Indians killed, men, women and child taken
prisoners.

About O'Clock on Saturday evening Willard
Clark, grocer. doing business on the corner of
York and George streets, entered the house of
Mr.. John Bogart, No. lS West Chapel street,
New Haven. which he had been accustomed to
do, at intervals. for number of years past. He
went into the kitchen and found there Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Wight, the son-in-aw and daughter
of Mr.. Bogart, who, seeming to be somewhat
annoyed by the presence of Clark, left the kitchen
and passed into the parlor. Clark followed them
into the parlor, and advancing to the side of Mr..
Wight, presented a pistol to his head and dis
charged it within few inches of his ear. The
ball entered the head of Mr.. w. directly back of
the right ear, and passing through the brain
lodged in the Uranium at the back side of the
head. He fell upon the floor, giving few terri
BILE gfolns. which distinctly heard by per-
sons passing the house, who Immediately entered
tn the assistance of the family.
The cause of this terrible tragedy seems to be
the jealousy Clark entertained for Mr.. Wight
VIII" had married Miss Bogard against the wishes
Of Clark. For several years past Clark had
sought the hand of Miss Bogart in marriage, and
had been repulsed by her, and finally she dismis-
sed him about year since.
Miss Bogart formed the acquaintance of Mr.
Wight, to whom she became attached, and on the
18th day of March last they united in mar
rage. At the time she married Mr.. Wight, the
lady was but seventeen years of age. The family
are highly respectable, and the sad news of such
deliberate attempt to murder has created the
greatest excitement in the city.
a rumor was circulated that Clark was par
TALLY insane. but this is believed to be untrue.
Wight was not dead Sunday evening at o.
clock, but there was no probability OF his re-

The 4Aedged Bribery in The Pennsylvania
Legislature.

Legislature.
The committee of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture appointed to investigate the alIedged attempt
at bribery of the members of the Legislature to
vote in the Election for United States Senator,
have made report, stating that they have ex-
amned fifty witnesses, and in only two three
cases has it been shown that any thing like brb-
cry or dishonorable conduct was attempted
The committee complain that Dir. David Jayne
(who a candidate for United States Senator, }
and Issue S. Esheman and Michael PEPPER, i'm
portant witnesses, could not be found, and then
adds:
tits proved by the testimony that John F.
Herr, member of the House of Representatives
from Luzerne county, was corruptly approached
by DIR. Jayne himself, and also by his friends
Elsheman and PEPPER and that the only reason
why said member was not bribed to vote for IT,
S. Senator, was because he promptly and firmly
resisted and resented the attempt to seduce him
from the path of recttude.

RETURN GOV. REEDER FROM KANSAS
His account Of the Interference of the Mis-
sonridns IN the Election.
EAsroN PA, April 3D.-Governor Reeder, of
the Territory of Kansas, arrived here to. day,
and met with an enthusiastic reception from his
friends and former neighbors. He reached Phil
upsburg at noon, and was there met and escorted
to the Courthouse Square, in Ea>ton, by large
concourse of citizens. On arriving at the Court
hous he was welcomed by j. NJ. Porter. Esq.
who complimented the Governor on the al lie man
ner in which he had discharged the duties of his
office.
Governor Reeder, in reply, expressed in feel
ing manner and in eloquent terms the grateful
impression made by the warm and enthusiastic
reception given by large assembly of his
fellow citizens. He referred to reports of fraud
and outrage upon the part of the slavery men in
the Kansas election, and emphaticaly confirmed
the very worst statement which had preceded his
arrival He said his opinions the subject of
popular sovereignty had undergone no change,
but the conduct of the people of the bordering
counties of Missouri had astounded and amazed
him ny their reckless regard of all laws, compacts
and constitutions.
The territory of Kansas bad been invaded by
regular organized army, armed to the teeth,
who took possession of the ballot boxes, and made
upn legislature to suit the purposes of the pro-
slayer. party. Kansas snbdued, sudjnga-
ted and conquered by armed men from Missouri,
but her citizens were resolved never to give up
their right of freedom and the independence of
their soil from foreign control and Interference
Missouri would be called upon to disavow all sym
patty with these border rufiians and if she refu-
sed the South would be called upon to discounte-
nance her. If the South refused, the solemn duty
would devolve upon the North TO take up the mat
ter, so that the rights of her sons who have set
tied in Kansas on the faith of solemn compacts
oh hnx ind tod aud utain
He declared that the accounts of the fierce out
RACES and wild violence perpetrated at the late
election in Kansas, as published in the Northern
papers. were not exaggerated, and he concluded
by saying that Kansas now conquered
country-conqnered by force of arms; but the
citizens resolved never to yield their rights,
and he relied upon the North to aid them by de-
monstrations ofpublic sentiment and all other le
gal means, till they shall be fully and triumph

Rufus Robinson of South lIadley Falls, was
crossing the Connecticut river in skitt, just
above the Ilolyoke dam, on Friday, when he was
carried down and over the falls by the force of the
wind and the current. The boat dashed to
pieces, and Mr.. Robinson drowned. The wind
was blowing in strong gusts at the time. The
victim was able to counteract the current and
in lull of the wind overcame one reverse, but
another sweep came and carried him beyond re-
call. He struggled against his fate till within a
rod two of the falls then dropped his oars,
clenched the sides of his boat, and took the fear
full and fatal leap. The deceased was brother

an arrest ,jOT COWpiCty IN TOfttgH tHStoH pa
pers in Fairtdr County, ia.
The Commissioner of Pensions says the Wash
ipgton Star of Monday, has caused the arrest of
Charles A. Arundel of Fairfax county. Va,
charge of presenting copy of an altered record
of that county, the alteration being to bring the
marriage of his mother within the limit of time in
which She would be entitled to the arrearages of
pension paid to her lover 5000 as the widow of
revolu tionary soldier. 1t seems that the marri-
age took place in 1874, when she would not have
been entitled. The record stood so,and was sur
reptiously altered to make it appear that the
marriage took place in 1893 There is no ques
ton of the facts of the alteration, which shows
plainly enough when closely examined. The mar
rage certificate, or return on which the entry was
orr nalIy made, is preserved, and itself proves
the forgery charged to have been perpetrated.-
c. A. Arundel, the attorney managing the
case, and presented the certificate of the correct
mass of forged entry. The Bureau claims to have
evidence, understand, proving that Arundel
aware that the marriage was in 1874, not in
1893 and therefore presented the paper with the
full knowledge of its falsity. An United States
deputy marshal of Virginia passed through this
city yesterday, with the prisoner in charge, en-
route for Richmond. While here, Arundel had
an interview with the Commissioner, and profess
sed to be entirely ignorant of the charge against
him.
