Political Virtue in Massachusetts,.

One of our Boston exchanges draws the fol-
lowing picture of some OF the principal lead.
ers of Know Nothingism in that State:
When the Hiss Investigating Committee deyel-
oped the scandalous staple, OF which the Know
Nothing Legislature was in a measure composed
it was suspected that much remained untold.
That suspicion has ripened into certainty, and
now it appears that some Of the bright and shi.
ming lights of the Dark Lantern concern shared
IN the iniquities, though not in the punishment.
of prosecuted joe" Without mentioning any
names at present, il will be sufficient to call the
attention of the people of Massachusetts, TO the
following lamentable facts
!. A very prominent member of the last Leg
islature, Know Nothing of the highest degree,
ard candidate at the same time for a most i'm
portant and honorable office, is charged directly
with seduciRg young lady, now in this city,
under promise of marriage. Should he be elect
ed the courts may be obliged to determine what
obstacles, if any, are interposed by high Off
cial duties to the executions Of a bastardy war
rant.
2. The same gentleman is threatened" with
Exposure" by another woman, who sets price
on her silence, which has been partly paid out
of his last years salary. Much good may it do
him but when he has bought her off, how can
he pay the numerous crowd to whom she has
eoiu everything already he ought TO know
hat one old gossip at Boston hotel can tell
more stories over a cup of tea. than regiment
Of vulgar rascals can cover mp in commitiees.-
The threatened exposure is Of seduction, breach
OF promise of marriage and deserton-pithout
the bastardy warrant-and the price set for ST
ience Is pretty high, considering that more than
flfty people know the whole story already, and
that the whole State shall know ii in a week or
TWO; Such are the men who punish night-walk-
ing by a five years imprisonment.
People of Massachusetts, We have had men
IN high State offices before now who were by no
means perfect. They had the faults and yield
ed to the temptations that beset all. But did
we ever have men in Office whose personal char
aeters and habits were public scandal? Did
we ever have such a collection to make laws for
honest people? The details shall be laid before
you, with names and dates, if needful. which
shall enable You 10 make up your mind whom
to leave this year at home.

MILWAUKEE IN a BLAzE-BuRNING OF a
DEAD BoDY.-The American, of the 10Th,
was in blaze, and for aught we know all
the people in the city, over an attempt of a
aman there to burn the dead body of his
wife,
Thus is the story told:
A Russian by the name of Pfeil married a
woman who was n Brahmin in belief. lie
was possessed Of wealth, and both were per
sons of culture. She sickened and died, and
requested according to the faith of her fathers
that her body should be burned. Pfeil had
collected sixteen cords Of wood, arranged it
properly, and was about to perform the deed.
when news of the fact was circulated, Great
ing intense excitement.
Sheriff Conoyer proceeded at once to Pfeil's
house, and forbade the act The Russian as
serted his right aud duty to be, to burn the
body of his wife. "No law forbids" said he
''my religion commands; | will do it," The
body was in its shroud, the torches prepared,
and all was ready to pace it on the funeral
pyre. "Let it be borne to its place." contin-
ued the Russian; "there is no law against il
in Wisconsin,"
But the the sheriff took possession of the
body, ordered coffin, and made preparations
for its Christian burial. The crowd grew
and thronged round the house. Alarmed Of
afraid to persist, Pfeil gave his consent to a
Christian burial. "You may order or have
what ceremonies you please over the body
said sheriff Conover Gentlemen" replied
Pfeil, at makes no difference with us if we
cannot go on in our own way"
Thereupon the body was buried, though
the Americans intimate that the woman had
been foully dealt with, and demand tn,
fullest investigation into the matter. A friend
who had just come on from Milwaukee, sup
poses that the parties were all honest, bu

out of the secret lodge and looking abroad
