The BOND STREET TRAeEDY-H1qzzu I'm.

THE BOND STREET TRAGEDY In
portant Developments. will be remem-
bered that after the Coroner's Jury had re-
tired for consultation. in the Burdell inves-
ltigation, man giving his name as Dc.
Waller. NJ. D., 81 Horatio street, presented
himself, saying that he could corroborate the
statement of Farrell. He was taken before
the Jury, and testified that just before II
o'clock on the night of the murder, he pass
ed DR.. Burdell's house, and saw man sit
ting on the stoop, doing something with His
shoe in his hand, and he thought it singular;
also. that he saw the door open, and a man
at the door in his. shirt sleeves.
This testimony was regarded of great inn
Iportance, corroborating the statement Of
Farrell, which unsupported, was looked up
on by many as highly improbable.
We understand that the counsel for Mrs.
Cunningham now set up and profess tosbe
able to prove, that this D. G. Waller, Nd
is lunatic, and has been for some wears;
that he was at home on the night of the TIA
|gedy in Bond street; that his family Wish
whom he was at that time. knew nothinspf
his testimony till they saw it in the papera.
when they read it with the utmost anna
ment, and were deeply panied and mortified
that he had conceived such an extraordinary
idea.
It will be further insisted, that thew ia
not know that they claimed to have anyst-
formation upon the subject, or that he Ia
been before the Coroner at all or propd B
to 60, until his statements were publish
When Waller read Farrell's testimony5.it
was pretended that he was seized with he
delusion that he could corroborate it, a1d
that since the close of the investigation, lie
has dwelt upon it almost necessarily, aid
thinks and talks of little else. He cong
tulates himself also, they say, upon beikg
the most important witness in the case, aid
that by his statements, and his only, can tie
foul crime be traced to it's perpetrator IN
efforts to convince him of his delusion ake
unavailing.
His family have endeavored to make b IN
remember that he was at home at the vefy
time he processes to have been in Boyd
street; but all to no purpose; he persists4n
his assertions, and declares that no power
upon earth can prevent him going to couft,
and swearing to the facts.
So says the counsel for Mrs. Cunningham,
who also, insists that since Mr.. Waller gale
his testimony, his alleged insanity see
greatly to have increased.-N. r Post, II

The Baltimore american says :-'.Well
authenticated information from Washington
asserts that the Collectorship of Baltimore
has been awarded to Hon. John Thompson
Mason, at present Associate Judge of the
Court of Appeals from the First Judicial
District. He is resident of Hagerstown,
Washington county. The removal of Ex-
Gov. Thomas, who has been in all respects
an efficient officer, is presumed to indicate
that there will be an entire change in the
lncumbents of the Federal offices in this
vicinity"

MONKS NEW AMERICAN MAP.-PubEshed at

the sale of this valuable work is now engaged in
the canvass of our county procuring orders for it,
We have carefully examined it, and unhesitatng-
y pronounce it By far superior to anything of the
kind we have ever seen-more full and compre-
hensive-more accurte in its delineations-and
decidedly more attractive to the eye in such little
minutiae as its coloring, mounting and general fin
lsh. 1t shows at glance the entire country from
ocean to ocean-and from within few degrees
snow-thus exhibiting the Canadas, British Pos
sessions, Prince Edwards Island, &c., all Of the
United States and Territories, all of Mexico,
Central America, Youcatan, New Granada, and
portion Of South America-together with the
West India lslands,-Cuba, Jamaica, sc. On it
we see beautifully deineated the internal improve
ments-the rail roads finished and in progress
lakes, mountains, and rivers without number; and
also the six proposed routes for the Pacific rail
road to California, ~ ashington and Oregon. On
the same sheet IS a miniature map of the whole
world on new and original plan, placing the
United States in central position. which they
really occupy. and exhibiting the location of all
the different nations of the world-with the various
sailing routes to them, SC.
Professor Monk yields the palm to no one, as
map publisher. His works are and ever have
been pre-emnent over all Understanding A..

dent. Cabinet, members of Congress, heads of
Departments, &C., at Washington. where they are
supposed to know full well the value of map
In this present work he does full justice to bis well
earned reputation, and with such a work we do
not see how the Agent can fail of great success.
We heartily commend him and his map to our
friends and the community at large. And from

UTAH AND THE MoRMoNs.-Was hington
rumors, which we hope may be verified,
states that the Administration has determin-
ed to remove Brigham Young from the
Governorship of Utah territory so soon as
bis commission expires. The appointment
OF Young was one of the few cases in which
President Fillmore allowed the pressure Of
|expediency to swerve him from the stict
discharge of duty. and the effect was perni-
clous inasmuch as it gave countenance to
the succeeding administration in continuing
him in station which has thrown the
weight of the territorial power and authori-
ty, and somewhat of Governmtal influence
also, upon the side of the fanaticism and
crime of Mormonism. The freedom of our
laws secure even to the vagaries ofreligious
sentiment, and to the impostors who seize
upon the credulity of the foolish as means
|of power, a perfect immunity from repres-
sive punishment, but it does not follow that
the influence Of our government may not be
justly thrown upon the side of good morals
and pure religion, outside of its sectarian
aspects, and against the foul and debasing
dogmas productive Of such bestial conse-
quences as characterize the state of society
in Utah. To believe otherwise would be to
destroy the morality of republicanism and
to make it willingly compliant in sustaining
the worst crimes that debased natures might
cloak under the garb of religious conviction.
We are pleased then with the intimation
that Mr.. Buchanan is about to solve the
problem whether some other than Mormon
Governor cannot govern Utah. The organ
ic law gave to the Governor and Legislature
the power to fix the seat of government
Brigham and his saints, anticipating that
some day he light be suspended, fixed the
seat of government at Fillmore City, mis-
cradle place, several hundred miles from
Salt Lake City, so that bis successor would
be distant frcn the Population. and thus
