ARREST OF a sUProsEp MURDERER /

The Harrisburg Telegraph of the 18th ult.
says A man by the namo OF William Will
liams was brought to town this morning, in
chargr of officer Nolon. Of Wisconisco, having
been committed by Justice Ferree, Of the
same township, on suspicion Of the murder
of Daniel Henrick, at Bear Gap, on or about
the Sd of this month. Williams ia Machin-
ist who has been employed in that vicinity for
some time and always been regarded us n
suspicious character. The body of the mHr-
dered man was found few days ago in pri-
vate path, leading to the coal mines, and upon
an investigation, two holes were found in his
body, which were examined by physician
and both found to have been made by gravel
stones shot from rife.
A coroner's inquest being held q verdict
was given in accordance with the above facts
When discovered the body was lying in Sc
cuded part Of the path, and looked as if the
man had fallen asleep there, which the dscov-
erers supposed, until they approached nearer

the fact OF his having been last seen with Hen.

vestigation O watch was obtained from him,
known to have belonged to the deceased, and
which he could not give q satisfactory account
of how he had received it. Farther evidence

about the time Henrick disappeared. he had
borrowed gun and gone into the woods with
him, where he acknnw!eiged that he had fred
it several times We learn that other evi
dence can also be produced, showing clearly
that he is guilty Of the murder. The case
will probably come up at the next term OF
Court. when it will be fully investigated, and
the truth of the matter evolved. Williams ia
rufiianly looking character, and if his ap.
pearance portrays his disposition, We do not
think he would hesitate TO commit deed like

ST. LOUIS, May 80,

The Lecompton correspondent Of the St.
Louis Democrat states that the recent appor-
tionments dsfranchise one-half of Kansas
only twenty out of the forty counties being
represented, and that in some counties where
no census was taken, the representation is al
lowed on the list of voters by the old election
books for other counties. A letter had been
written to acting Gov. Stanton, asking for an
election by precincts. He replied that he
could do nothing in the matter there being
no law to supply the omission. A card has
published, signed by sixty-two prominent per-
sons, urging the State Legislature to re-as-
scmbls on the 9th Of June, to complete the
State organization.

The LAST MORMON HEcIR,-The Nor
mons of Alton have about all left "bngs and
baggage" for the Upper Missouri, thence to
take their weary march across the Plains.
The most of them intend to go TO a new region
Of the Salt Lake country, some 200 miles from
the Great City 10 "Me wilderness" as they
term it-and there found a nep toUn.
The Peru Chronicle says that one day last
week over 500 Mormons passed through that
place on their way to Salt Lake City. We
notice by the Rock Island papers that about
300 passed there about the same time, des-
tined for the city Of denominations. The
Outpost Of Zion" at Cincinnati has been
cleaned out by the citizens, and will shortly
be on its way TO Salt Lake City several
hundred strong. The Cleveland Plaindealer
OF q recent date says that about 2500 will
leave that city this Spring for the same
placs.-Ahon, Niinsis, Courier, May 2l.
THE jews IN AusrRIA-Up to the year
lS4S only certain privileged Jewish families
were allowed TO reside in Vienna, but now
any Hebrew who has the means of providing
for himself and family is permitted to esta6.
lish himself here. 1t appears, however, that
the authorizes in some OF the provinces are
less tolerant than those in the capital, for We
learn from Saaz in Bohemia, that the burgo-
master has ordered of the Jewish families re-
sdeng in the town-there are some sxty-to
quit it in fortnight. The political rights Of
the Hebrews in Austria have not yet been
defined, but it is hardly probable that Gov
ernment will permit the Jews domced at
Saaz to be driven into the streets by this Bo-
hemian Pacha.
HoSoR TO JEFF DAvIs.-The friends Of the
Hon. JEFF Davis in Vicksburg, Miss, gave
him SPLENDID barbecue on the 18th. The
procession was headed by the military, and
went to the Court House Square, where Col.
Davis spoke for an hour and half At the
dinner speeches were made by Messrs. Tup-
per, Singleton, Ray, Graves and Burwell.-
Everything passed off pleasantly.
The Law OF TRREs.-It is now a well set.

ground OF my neighbor, the fruit belongs to

washingtsn Ansirs--The Position of General
walker Before his sCspi,ula,ion-The Eisetien
Disturbspces Quisted.
WASHINGTON, June z.
Capt. Davis. OF the U. s. ship St. Marys,
in recent official dispatches to the Govern.
ment says IL was the opinion OF those who
had better means of knowing than himself,
that month before they were written, Gen.
Walker could at any moment have passed the
enemy's lines and maintained himself in the
open country. Since then the desertons
have been numerous and frequent, not only
demoraliIing his army in number, but in
character, that towards the end of April, the
only resort left for Walker was to cut his
way down to the coast and take refuge it pos
Bible on board the schooner Granada. Ac-
cordinR TO the best intelligence, such an
attempt would only have been the last effort
of deepair, and have terminated fatally in
less than Eve miles from Rvas.
The time, therefore, had arrived for deter
mining on the course to be pursued in the
case anticipated in instructions received by
Capt. Davie in January last, that is, in the
event Of the expulsion of Walker and his
forces from Nicaragua by the allied armies,
and his departure to the adjacent territory
in Central America, Tor the purpose of hos
tile and aggressive operations. The reason
assigned by Capt. Davis. for the seizure OF
the Granada, is, that the vessel had lost her
nationality was beligerent, aud should not
therefore pass his guns.
Our city is quiet, though there yet exists
much bad feelirg. The Light Artillery are
still here, but there is no sign Of a renewal OF
the disturbances.
UTAH AFFAIRs--ArPoISTHESTs.
Major McCullogh has again empbatically
declined the Governorship of Utah. A Sc
lection will, however, positively be made in q
few days, when the vacant Judgeships ol
that Territory will be flled, and other mea
sures adopted with view to the effective or
ganization Of the administrative machinery
The President has appointed Joseph A
Bright, of Indiana, Minister to Berlin, il

WAsHISGrox. juno l.
There were serious disturbances n. several
OF tie voting places to-day. The Mayor Oh
tanned from the President an order to call
ont two companies of Misunderstanding had
stated to him, upon the representation Of
creditable citizens, that band of lawless
persons most of them non-resdents-had
attacked one OF the polls at which the annual
election was in progress, aud after manning
twenty good and peaceable citizens, had dis
persed the Commissioners Of Elections and
threatened further violence in any attempt TO
carry on the election.
The Mayor directed the Marines to proceed
to the Northern Liberties, whittier the rioters
had conveyed swivel. lie then commanded
them to dsperse, informing them that the
troops were there solely to preserve peace.
This order they tauntingly disregarded, when
the swivel was wrested from its pOssessors
One Marine was shot.
The most fearful alarm prevailed. Ere
quent shots were being fired by the rioters
The Marines returned the fire, and it was
soon discovered that five or six persons were
killed, and twice as many wounded. The
larger portion of them were innocent, so far
as can be ascertained. The verbal accounts of
the particulars are extremely contradictory.
The city was thrown into fever Of excite
ment. The occurrence is everywhere dis
cussed. The Marines were still in reserve at
the City Hall.
WASHINGTON, June 2.
A large meeting was held tonight in front
of the City Hall. The speakers were Gen.
McCalla, Dr. Clayton and Councilman Lloyd
oil Of the American party, who denounced
the killing of persons by the Marines on the
day Of election as a cruel, cowardly and
bloody massacre Of the innocent, and the
conduct of the Executive authorities as
trampling under foot the sacred rights Of
citizens and the laws of order. Mr.. Lloyd's
advice to be prepared for the next attack
elected spontaneous cheers of appreciation.
At the same time he invoked them to pre-
servation of the peace.
A committee of two from each ward was
appointed to prepare suitable resolutions,
and call an adjourned meeting after inquests
on all the victims had been concluded. In
quests have already been had in two Of the
cases and three witnesses swors that an
order had been given to the Marines to fire
by Mayor Magruder after the swivel had been
taken from the rioters.
Preliminary measures have been taken to
bring the matter to q judicial investigation.
The Mayors conduct was severely condemned
by the meeting, They separated with cheers
and groans. The community is still feyerish
