Henry Shaw, once very prominent Massachu-
sets politician, died at Peekskill, N. Y, on the
18th inst, at the age of sixty. Nearly forty years
ago he was member of Congress, with apparent
ly brilliant career before him, but all his pros
poets are blasted by the support which he gave TO
the pro-slayery party at the time of the Missouri
contest lS20-2l. In common with most North
eTn men who then threw their influence on the
side of the South, he was ruined and though he
was sometime in Office afterwards, it never in
high office, such as was equal to his talents. But
for the error which he then made, he would prob
ably have risen high in the councils of the State
and the nation, his intellect great, his
character pure, and his knowledge extensive. He
resided for great part of his life at Lanesboro,
Berkshire county, where his remains were buried
on the goth, his funeral being numerously at
tended Boston TrdUeILer.
The great fault of Henry Shaw was, that he
favored just such compromise pro-slavery poll
cy on the slavery question as the Traveller sane.

his predecessor, who went in for letting the South
have their way in 1920, for fear of disturbing the
integrity of the ''Union.'

A CoETEMPTIBLE Trick = Look out for

eulated pamphlet purporting to be the speech
OF Mr.. Banks on the Nebraska bill. 1t is the
speech made by BdsOn b. olds Of Ohio, an old

attempted. Look out for t. Frauds, forgeries,

Mr.. BANKs's SPEECH ON THE FINANCIAL
CRIsIs-The Washington correspondent of the
New York Courier and Enquirer says -
"The speech of Mr.. Banks of Massachusetts
on the pressure, its causes, and remedies, is re-
markable for the absence of all partizanship
which it exhibits. He gives Mr., Guthrie, the
late Secretary of the Treasury, credit for having
presented to Congress plan for the modification
of the tariff which would have protected manu-
features, relieved the Treasury OF an inconvenent
surplus, and prevented much ofthe suffering that
has occurred. This speech shows that old party
lines not likely TO be drawn upon the ques-
tions of finance and political economy. which are
again looming into oveashadowing importance"

BURGLARS ARREsTED.-Our readers will be
glad to learn that the accomplish of Edward Con-
ner, now in jail in this city upon charge of bur
glariously entering the house of Ethan Allen
Esq, in this city, on the 2Sth of September last
was arrested in New York on Thursday. The
New York Commercial gives the following ao-
count of the circumstances that led to the arrest
"Some few days ago. a complaint was made by
| young man named Malcolm Graham against his
mother and sister in which he charged that they
| had beaten him and assaulted him with knife.
| A warrant was issued and the mother and
| daughter were locked up in the station house
of the Sth ward. While here confined the mother
told Captain CoOmbs that her son and his brother
had been concerned in burglary in Massachu-
sets, and that they were trying to keep her out
of the way. She said that they had had silks and
lot Of pistols and money, and were wanted in
Boston. The sister corT0borated this statement,
and also stated that her brother Thomas was con-
cerned in the affair.
Captain Coombs placed the matter in charge of
Constable Williams Of the Sth ward, who tele-
graphed to Boston to learn about the facts. Yes
terday information received that burglary
had been perpetrated in Boston some months ago,
and that quantity Of silks had been taken.
The officer then inquired about the pistols,
and learned that about the same time, the dwell
ing house of Mr.. Ethan Allen, the pistol manu-
facturer, of Worcester, had been entered by bur-
glars, one of whom, named Edward Conner, was
caught in the act, and handed over to the police
| to whom he confessed the name of his accom-
| plice. Thomas Graham. This information was
telegraphed to Constable Williams, who prompt-
| ly arrested the accused, and upon searching
| Thomas, found about six yards Of silk in his
| lise and a memorandum of pawn ticket, on the
store of Jenkins in Sudbury street, Boston, for
bundle. watch and gold chain were found,
| which have been identified as having been stolen
from Groton Junction, Mass
Deputy Marshal Denny of Worcester, Mass,
and Mr.. Dexter of the police court there, came
to this city, this morning, and at once identified
the parties as having been concerned IN the bur-
glaries, both at Boston and Worcester. None of
the goods, except the watch and chain and piece
Of silk, were recovered. The officers have a clue
to about $500 worth of jewery and silver plate,
in Boston, which they will be enabled to get
when they return. The prisoners were taken on
to Boston, this morning"

SoUTBRIDGE.-The first grand rally OF the
Banks men of Southbridge and vicinity, was held
at the Town Hall on Monday evening last. AL
though it was stormy evening, says the Boston
Bee, there was large attendance, and much en-
thusiasm was manifested. Hon. e. d. Ammi-
down presided, and, after few Introductory re,
marks, introduced DR.. S. G. Hartwell, who spoke
for half an hour in an eloquent manner. He all.
luded to the various candidates before the people
for the Office of Governor and said that he should
give his earnest and hearty support to Hon. N.
P. Banks. He paid a glowing tribute to the
character and ability of Mr.. Banks, and claimed
that he represented at the present time, better
than any other man, the sentiments of Massachu-
sets upon the great question of freedom.
Hon. Linus Child of Lowell was next intro.
duced and proceeded to deliver powerful speech
upon the present aspect of our national politics,
and upon the gubernatorial question.
Mr.. Child alluded to the present financial dis
tress, recited the history of Secretary Guthrio's
proposition for the modification of the tariff Of
1916, and said that If the course recommended
had been adopted the industrial interests Of New
England would have been relieved Of tax of
nearly seven millions of dollars. Mr.. Child said
he had, until a recent date, been political Oh :
ponent Of Mr. Banks. He had read his recent
speech in Faneu Hall, and he had no hesta-
ton in saying that il was fully equal in point of
ability to the best efforts Of Mr. Webster He
discussed the merits Of the various parties in the
present canvass, and claimed that no true lover
Of liberty could consistently vote for either Mr.
Beach or Mr. Gardner. We have rarely listened
to a more truthful exposition of political affairs
than that contained ia Mr.. Child's admirable adj.
dress Worcester County South will giveia large
vote for n p. Banks. Hon. j. M. Usher speaks
