Murder on Vine Street-Arrest OF
HaHuer

A German machinist named John Stock
was murdered on Thursday night, about lC
O'Clock, on Allison, between Walnut and Vine
streets, as is supposed by 4 German named
Frederick Haffner
1t appears that Stock and lIafiner are both
good workmen, who have considerable pride
in their occupation. Stock has been in the
employ of Miles & Co., engine builders, and
Haffner in that of Wells & Co., type founders
Haffner very recently left his employment
Early on Thursday evening, Stock and Half.
ner met at Arbeiten's, or Working Man,
Hall, on Walnut nearly opposite Merce
street. Haffner was apparently somewha
intoxicated They began to converse abou
their occupations, and Haflner said he haC
just quit his place of work. Stock replied, "a
would not have done that"
"Oh, you need not be afraid, | will neve
have to make pitchforks, rs You have done,
retorted Haffner, abiding to Stock having a
one time in Philadelphia quit his trade ant
worked at making pitchforks.
"You should not be so fond of your owl
trade,'' replied Stock; Z" if you were out o.
work for four weeks, you might want to go tC
the wharf as labOrer"
Haffner became much excited, and an
swered, "you have never given me any.
thing to eat, and you never SHALL so don't bt
afraid
They both became angry, and at last Half
ner struck Stock with his fist A scuffle en-
sued, but the parties were separated by Mr.. l.
Stevens, and Christian Stetts, the barkeeper
Stock then started for home, and it is reported
that Haffner called after him. " You had bet
ter leave, for can't hurt you in the Hall, but
I'll watch you after awhile"
A few minutes after Stock had left, IIaffnel
went out, and had been gone but minute oil
two, when those in the Hall heard the cry OF
watch, and the news that Stock had been
stabbed, and lay on the North side Of Allison
at a short distance. Stock was carried to the
apothecary shop of Mr.. Spach, at the corner
of Mercer and Vine streets, where, in about an
hour, he breathed his last. The place where
Stock fell was nearly in front of Haffner's res
idence. Stock, who was about 20 or 80 years
of age, leaves wife and two orphan children
to mourn his death. Haffner is about thirty
wears of age, and has a wife, but no children.
Haffner was arrested by officer Lithenlale,
and will be examined on next Monday, on a
charge of murder in the first degree.
DIR. Menzie held an inquest yesterday on
the body of Mr.. Stock, and verdict was re-
TUNED that deceased came to his death from
wound in the left breast, half way between
the nipple and the breast bone, made with a
deep-bladed knife, three inches long, by ia
cob Haffner on the evening of the oath of
May, 1856, about ten O'Clock.
When Haffner was arrested bloody knife
was found in his possession, but no one saw
him strike the deceased.

BUFFALO. May Is. 1855.

A ScEsE.--The Rochester DeBsocyaf de-
scribes a scene" in the trial of Eastwood. at
that city, for the murder Of Brereton:
Eastwood is young man about q or %
years of age, who lived near the place OF the
murder His appearance in Court was that Of
an ordinary intelligent person, and one not
likely to commit a murder in cold blood.
Brereton was also young man, and consid-
cred to be inoffensive and respectable. The
widow of Brereton was in Court with her in
FAINT She was accompanied by several fe-
male friends. After sitting awhile. she cot
up, and going in front OF Eastwood, looked
him directly in the face, and bursting into
tears, charged him with being the murderer
Of her husband afterward she took her child.
an infant about year old, into the presence
OF Eastwood, and told the boy to look upon
his fathers murderer. A scene Of some ex-
element was CAUSED by this denunciation in
open Court"

I'M, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN II. CLIFFORD,
What the English think of their Gov
eminent

The Westminster Revieio discusses thus:
Some forty men in the two Houses of Par
lament of whom not half dozen possess
any marked superiority in talent, genius, en-
ergy, wisdom, knowledge, or goodness, to
men who can be picked by the score in every
mans acquaintance bandy the government
of England backward and forward between
them, not by birth anil rank, but by the force
of routine, although Parliament is theoretic-
ally supreme over them, and is highly dis
contented. In fact, Parliament is suffering
the common fate of despots. Having absorb
ed into itself all the business of the country,
it is so overwhelmed with power, as to be-
come the victim and slave of its ewn crea-
lures.
After the events of the last nine years, we
have no right TO deride the routine of China.
or of decaying Spain. As the Times news
paper observed, we have read of the Spanish
king who was roasted alive, because his at
tendants could not settle whose duty it was
to draw his chair further from the fire: but
an English ministry has sacrificed the punct-
10, not one equity and useless king. but a
brave victorious army; and Parliament has
sat by, groaning and helpless Do we ask
why? 1t is because, knowing that it cannot
reconstruct, Parliament Is so slow to destrog;
while it has almost no power to control or
regulate. If it asks for information, it is told
(what events constantly prove to be quite
false), that the interests of the public service
forbid a reply; and if committee ofinquirv
be voted, the ministry resigns; and the Par
lament, where it wished only 10 control
finds that it has destroyed. Each cabinet
in turn keeps up its despotism, by refusing to
accept any power short Of absolutism, and the
out-party cOuntenances its rival in this de-
mand, in order to maintain unimpaired the
prerogative 'of the Crown" Gas it is hypocrit-
ically termed), which the Outs look on as
their own in reversion. Thus the Parliament
has to burn down house, if it wants to roast
pig. Every ministry is turned out on one
question only, and its successor comes in up
on that one; and this is all that Parliament
can secure, if even so much as this.

MILERITE DELUsIoN YOUNG LADY
TURNED MANIAc-The Boston Chronicle of
the 2lst says:
Saturday was the day on which it was
believed by many Second Adventists that all
temporary matters would be brought to a
close; but again they have been disappointed.
In this connection we may mention sad case
which has been reported to MS A beautiful
young lady, in an adjoining town, whose
worldly prospects We're as bright as her
friends could wish, lady of rare mental en-
dowmentS, education. and sweetness of dis
position, became impressed with the belief in
the Second Advent as understood by the
class of persons just mentioned, and on Thur
day last became a maniac"

The Know Nothing Ticket for Mississippi.

The Paulding Clarion publishes list OF
nominations, said to have been made by the
late convention of the party, composed of a
club of Struggling Wings Of New Orleans
which it obtained by the underground rail-
road-as follows
For Governor, Gen. C. d. Fontaine, of Pom
totoc county; for Secretary of State, A. G..
Horne, of Clark county; for Auditor, f. l..
Swami, of Kinds county; for Treasurer, Col.
Stith, of Marshall county; for Judge High
Court, c.. P. Smith, of Wilkinson county; for
Clerk Chancery Court, j. C. Carpenter of the
city Of Jackson.
The Clarion also says the same party NOM
mated
b. ID. Nabor, for Congress, in the Holly
Springs district; Locke T.. Houston, for Con-
gresS, in the Aberdeen district; w. A. Lake,
for Congress, in the Vicksburg district; Hiram
Cassidy, for Congress, in the Natchez district
1t does not give the name of the member
nominated in the % district
We have reason to believe that two or
three of the above nominations are made
without the authority Of the gentlemen
brought before the public, and if We are cor
rect it becomes them to resist the bribe in
some public manner, as We doubt not they
will. 1t remains to be seen whether the high
minded, open-hearted and chivalric people of
Mississippi will submit to this outside, foreign
interference in their elections by band of
broken-down politicians.-MeD,phis Appeal

The Fusion" Convention on the 18th
of JulY--Chase to go Overheard

The Peoples Convention" at Columbus,
Ohio, on the 18th of July, will be farcical
affair. The Know Nothings through their
secret organization, will manage it to suit
themselves They have resolved that Mr..
CHASE shall not be nominated for Governor,
and that the question of slavery shall be
placed in the background The Ohio Col
un.Jian, the Freesoil organ, having declared
that no "fusion would be made unless the
ex-senator led the van, the GAINESVILLE
Courier, a staunch Wing X. N. paper, thus
replies 1t says:
"On the other hand, if any set of men at
tempt to force certain individuals upon the
'Convention without regard to the will of the
majority, and then threaten a withdrawal if
this or that man is not nominated, it will be
seen at once that nothing beneficial can he
done. But we hope and look for better
things. We will not believe that n party or
parties united in so good cause will quarrel
over nominations. Demagogues will doubt
less be there-men who have crept into the
movement because it became popular; but
there can be nerve and judgment enough
sent to the Convention to thwart the plot
tings of such men. Our correspondent "76, -
however, should not overlook the fact that
the slavery question cannot occupy as prom
inent position as it did in the last canvass"
