lectused at Honrellsville, few days since, and to
convince his auditory Of the intense hatred which
the people of OHIO bore towards SHAREHOLDERS, re-

"a year or two Since,'' said Mr.. GiGdings, ga

and there, the master, while endeavorine to arrest
his human chattrl. killed by the slave, and tile
slave by him. We took up the sooty African, and
gave him the rites of Christian burial but the mas

manned until the body Stunk, aud at last the fre nds
of the deceased came from Kentucky, and con-

man who Pretends to have more humanity in his
composition than any other man. Comment is un-

GEx. scorr's BACK PAY.-Tke Washington
Star has taken some pains 10 ascertain precisely
how much Gen. Scott gains pecuniariIy by the en-
actment OF the Lieutenant Generals bill. the
Generals allowance in time of war was s504.SO.
In time of peace, prior TO the act of 1864, the pay
of Major General was per month, s4I2. The
pay of a Lieutenant General for month OF thirty
days is $40. 1.-THE rotions be doubled for conf
manling the army as provided by the act of l842'
there will be added per month s24O-makmg
total per month of thirty days of $3.50. BY the
&c. OF July 5, 1888 an additional ration is allowed
for every FIVE years service, which 10 an officer
forty five Yeas in service, would be per month
$50. The arrears TO bepaid Lieutenant General
Scott from the date of his present rank foot up
SAL 3o4O2. In other quarters we see it stated that
the amount allowed General Scott by the Govern
ment is much less than he claims and is really
titled to.

Diabolical Murder of a Woman for her

Prom the Winchester CPa.O Republican, Oct. 30
Diabolical Murder of a Woman for her
Money.
a most atrOciouS murder was committed in n.
Coventry, in this country, on WedneS ay uisat.
The victim was maiden lady named Hannah
Shngle, who occupied house alone. The wo-
man was about sixty YenIS old, and had some m. n
tai pecularities. superinduced by love affair
which happened in heT youth. She was the ow H.
er OF farm Uf about 200 acres, on hcII sh. r,Si
ded, having the land farmed by her neighboy,-
She was first discovered by John Miller and his
son, who were gathering apples in her oEchard.-
The was sent over 10 the house 10 see that she
was well, when he came back stating that The
clock case had been broken open and he did moi
see her, but supposed she had been robbed. Faith
er and son Immediately started for the huuse and
on gong TO her room found her lying nalty OH The
bed, entirely dead, ant her person bearing marks
Of most fearful murder.
She is represented as a woman of remarkable
courage. The house having been robbed two or
three times before, she kept always her side an
axe for defence. THIS axe She took up stairs with
her. AT the head Of the stars were indications
that severe struggle had Ia ken place. The muir
derer must have wTeSted the axe out of her hands
and then, throwing her down, inflicted two heavy
blows on her forehead, crushing in her skull in a
fearful manner.
There were marks on the body showing that she
had been choaked by the wretch in a fearful s,rus-
gle for her life. Alter the murder, the 6end pro-
ceeded to complete the robbery of the house. He
broke open the clock ease, where il is said, she
told some one few weeks since she kept her mo-
neY, after the last robbery of her house. The gem
etal suPpost;on is that she has had little money
about her, but her murderer evidently obtained
some, but how much is uncertain. Fifty dollars
were found in bureau drawer which he had II
examined, and five dollar gold piece still remain-
ell in the dfed desk, which in Lis haste he had
missed.

Mayor wood Against Official informed
ding.

The Mayor of New York. whose official career
has certainly won for him some distinction thro'-
out the country, has issued an order somewhat in
the.Jeffersunian style. He gives notice to the
policemen of the city that they cannot lie politi-
clans beyond the mere business of voting. He
says:
an becoming policemen certain personal rights
are given up for the public good, among others
those appertaining to the politician. The police.
man cannot be politician. He cannot election
eer as such He is not allowed TO use the power
of his office TO overawe, to inmdate, or TO lnffu-
ence the voter. 1t is his duty to protect every
man in the exercise of these rights, far as they
may be interfered with by others by a breach of
the peace.''
He therefore gives order that, in the election on
the 5th instant:
''rhese policemen who may be stationed at
each election poll shall preserve the peace, protect
every citizen in the free exercise of his franchise,
keep the polls clear, afford to every voter free in
eress to the inspectors, and grant to ali citizens Of
every political sentiment equal protection aud
rights"
The penalty of dismissal is threatened against
all who shall be found to disobey the order.

FRoM THE FRoXTiER OF TExAs.-A coTrespon-
dent of the National Intel!igenJer writes to that
paper that Capt. Callahan, who made the incur
son into Mexico, has returned to the territory of
Texas, after having burnt Mexican town; but
he intimates that another invasion of Mexico is
Contemplated by the Texan troops. He says there
will be,a thousand or fifteen hundred men raised
on the Rio GTande, ..wnO are determined to cross
and ayenge an outraged country" The outrages
complained Of are the depredations OF the Indians
which the writer. without furnishing any evidence
of the fact, says are encouraged by the Mexicans.
Hesdenounces General Smith, who has the COM
maud of the United States troops in that quarter.
and also Gov. Pease, who. he says, is afraid (and
very properlyl of compromising the General Co.
vermont by authorizing invasiOns of Mexican ter
ritoty. He adds:
Let the present movement bring war OF peace,
we are determined TO stop these depredatons and
it requires that should got the city of Mex
icoto do it, tOll go. speak the unanimous de-
termination Of country. "Patience has ceased to
be virtue," Iand should people care for gov

"The poor dupes of mothers are to be pitied,
rather than blamed, some Of them decent, in
nocent women, who have no definite idea OF the
light in which they place themselves; aud most
are too nearly idiotc to be accountable. But it is
not right that humanity should be degraded thus
in these persons; nobody expects any respect for
humanity from Barnum. The parties really TO
blame for these exhibitions are city authorities who
giant licenses, and people of ordinary sense who

Ugly, stupid women, and ordinary, vulgorly-dres-
ss children are no great rarity in this great Iepub

OF them, deserves pair of 'lOnkey's esIs. The
