TsRRIPLE TRAGEDY AT RIcHMoSp. - Nfdsr and
S,licide.--The Richmond, Virgins, papers Of yes
terday have long accounts Of an extraordinary
affair that has created mBch excitement in that
city. II appears that young man from Boston,
calling himself Francis Auburn, arrived in Rich
mond about TIRES weeks ago, and Obtained em-
ployment as designer and carver. subsequently
he rented house, and fitted 1t up for grocery,
and oyster and drinking saloon, which he-wss to
have opened yesterday. On Friday night, how
ever he was arrested on a charge Of enticing away
and harboring two male slaves belonging to Messrs
Jesse Williams and James III. Grant, and who had
disappeared few days previous. The Enquirer
says:
The time Of arrest was about twelve o'clock
Friday night, and was effected by the police, who
stationed themselves around Auburn's house, and
awaited his return, which was at the late hour
named. He resisted the officers with pistol and
bowie-knife in hand, but was overpowered and
taken to the cage. On his way to prison he drew
from his pocket phial Of strychnine, drank q
portion of 1t, and spit out mouthfu of the poison
in the face Of the officers who had him In charge
Two physicians were immediately called to his
relief but he died from the effects of the strych-
nine about two hours after swallowing it; and
the coroner held an inquest over his body on
Saturday morning. 81
The charge on which he was arrested was salts
factorly established, as follows: He had received
about 500 from the two negro men, under pro-
mise to convey them to the North, and had con-
cealed them in the third story Of his house prcpa-
ratory TO sending them away One of the negroes
having complained Of being unwel, he gave him
what he said was q dose Of medicine, but which
was, no doubt, strychnina, as the negro died soon
after taking the dose. Auburn then dug grave
in his cellar and with the assistance of the other
negro, buried his murdered subject, first cutting
his throat, ripping open his abdomen, and horribly
mutilating the body In other places this done,
II is supposed, to prevent the negro from recover
ing fromthe effects of the strychnne.
These bloody scenes occurred before the eyes OF
the other negro, naturally produced much alarm
and uneasiness in his mind consequently, he en-
braced the first opportunity to escape from con-
finement, which he did by leaping from window
in the third story of the house. He then returned
to his MASTER and revealed all he knew about this
most singular and horrible transaction. It is be-
lieved Auburn was in league with others engaged
in the business of running off slaves, but no ac-
completes have yet been detected.
Auburn was young man of genteel appearance
and manners and had capacities, as a carver and
designer, to earn from 50 to 50 a day. He gave as
a reason for renting house and opening groce-
ry, the expected visit of his mother and some Of
her family from the North, to reside with him in
this city.

Federal moncy.chest can exist without spoilsf
And how is it possible that they can subsist
upon the few Federal post and custom-house
Offices in California? We may ask, with the
incredulous Apostles, what are five loaves and
two small fishes amongst all this mulitudey"
II won't do. The pressure from without will
be irresistible. Already it is said that Gwin
or Broderick will go into the custom-house in
place of Mr. Hammond, who belonged to the
military family of Mr.. Pierce, and was, per-
haps, with him when he fell. W

CRUsHiSo OUT AMERICAN SENTIMENT wrrH GoLD.
The pseudo-Democratic party had control Of an
unlimited supply Of funds In the recent election.
Where Il mostly came from, Ia not altogether a
matter for conjecture. II was currently reported
that the administration had forwarded some sew
cnteen thousand dollars for electoneering purpo-
ses, and we are informed that gentleman gave
the Democratic (G) Committee a check for .fve
hundred dollars.
Is II not enough that Amcrican-bom citizens,
and those who, though born in foreign country,
have been 90 long upon American soil as 10 under.
stand and become welded 70 our institutions, and
who are perchance the fathers of american chill

Is only equslled by their wrctched ignorance We
repeat is all this not enough to satisfy the oppo

T" crush OUT" as they elegantly express II, the
American sentiment, bring 70 their aid the gold Of
