THE McKEEsPoRr MURDER-PARr OF
THE MONEY FoUND.-The confession of
Henry Fife and Charlotte Jones. of the
murder of the Wilson's, near Pittsburg,
disclosed where the money had been hid,
and on Wednesday last very exciting
search was made for it. Fife stated that
he had hid the paper money in VOLTS stable
in McKeesport, and buried the gold on
the bank of the river near the waters edge.
The paper was found, but was nearly all in
bills of banks now broken or greatly. de-
preciated, but the search for the gold was
unsuccessful. 1t is possible that the high
water has carried away the shot bags in
which it was contained.

INDIAN SLAVES IN NnBRAsKA.-TheS st.
Louis Democrat says: We are informed by
agentleman just from Nebraska, that some
Indians are now held in slavery by citi-
zen of that place. The holder of them is
recently from Utah, where he purchased
them from the MormOns, where Indian
slavery is one Of the adjuncts Of the plu-
rality wife system, and he now continues
to hold them, doubtless in conformity with
the Dred Scott decision.

AN AWFUL SIdHT.-By the late for.
eign arrival, we have the following item:
Accounts from Cronstadt state that En-
glish divers had been sent down by the
Rus sian government to examine the line
of-battle ship the Lefort, which recently
sunk in the Baltic. An immense mass Of
human bodies were found below. The ef-
feet produced on one Of the divers by the
sad sight was such that no report could be
obtained from him, and he refused to de-
scend q second time.
The vessel. it will be remembered, went
down with 1000 souls on board, overy one
Of whom perished.
KossUTn.-Informatiun has been recsiv-
ed at Washington, of the confscation, by

refrain from taking that step up to SO very

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The
General Minutes have just been completed,
says the Christian Hdoocate and Journal,
December Sd, and are published by Carl
ton d Porter in an octave of 34I pages.
We learn from them that the entire mem
bership of the Methodist Episcopal Church
is O,519, being an increase of zo,I92
over last year. The number of adult
baptisms during the year was 81, ,583, and
the number of infant baptisms 27,937.-
The number oftraveling preachers is 6, 1874,
and the number of local preachers 2, 7,169
The number of churches is 1886; and
the probable value of the churches and
parsonages is estimated at $17,9O8,184
The benevolent contributions the Church
during the year are as follows: Missionary
Society, 1895, ,697; Tract Society, $24'-
1913; American Bible Society, $46, ,6IO;
Sunday School Union, $l3,25O. The
number OF scholars in Sunday schools is
59l, 1853. Among the membership, 8, 1852
have died within the year, and 46 among
the travelling preachers. The book abounds
with valuable statistics, and no member of
the Church, and especially no minister,
should be without it.

oRTHoGRAPHY,

HE VANITY OF RICHEs.-The vanity of
riches is seldom illustrated SO strikingly
as in the case of the great English million
aire, Morrison, who died worth $780,
OOO,OO 1t seems to be one of the condi-
tions of the accumulation of enormous
wealth, in a single generation, that the
Possessor shall first disqualify himself
from enjoying it, and in some cases even
from appreciating the fact that he holds it.
Mr. Morrison accumulated this almost
fabulous amount himself, in the regular
course of his business, without any extraor-
dinary turn of fortune; yet the following
extract, from letter in the Boston Post,
shows how little benefit he permitted him
self to receive from all his wealth. What
satire it is upon the exclusive devotion
of all the faculties to the mere accumulation
of property:
'Mr Morrison retired from active bust
ness several years since, without withdraw
ing his capital from the mercantile house,
and though managing his vast funds him
self up to the time of his death with all the
sagacity of earlier days, he has for the last
three years been possessed with the idea
that he should come to want More than
two years ago he commenced doing day
labor upon farm held by one of his ten
ants, for which he received twelve shillinps
a week, and this he continued up to the
time of his illness. For the last eighteen
months he has been a regular applicant for
relief to the parish, assembling twice a
week, with the town paupers at the door of
the Union, and receiving with each one
of them his two shillings and a quarter
loaf. His friends have indulged him in
these fancies on the ground that it was the
best choice of two evils. The truth is,
money was his god, and the idea became
at last too great for him and broke him
down. And yet he is sail to have made
a most judicious will, and his investments
up to the last are characterized by great
good sense. The probate duty on his
will exceeds GIOo,0OO."

The Southern Citizen, John Mitchelrs
new paper, commenting on Walkers de-

"On the 10th, New Orleans Federal
officers tried to stop and bar the Destiny of

The New York Day Book, one of the
Northern organs of President Buchanan,
has taken ground as boldly as the Wash

Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision.
The notion OF making slavery the corner
stone of free nation is truly democratic
idea The journal alluded to, says:
Negro subordination, or so-caled slave
ry, is the basis, the foundation, the Corner
stone of our republican edifice,' and the |
time has come when this must be openly |
avowed and boldly proclaimed as the dis
tinctive badge of Democracy.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-C CoDgrsss.has organi-

Alabama, was elected President pro tenn.
Of the Senate; and Orr, of s. O., Speaker
ofthe House. The vote for Speaker stood:
Orr l98, Grow s6. scattering I3. Mr..
Allen, of Illinois, was elected Clerk of the
House; Mr.. Glossbrenner Sergeant-aL.

Clusky postmaster. The great contest
was for public printer. Mr.. Steedman, of
Ohio, was elected. This is the most prof
table Office in the government--.being
worth over a million OF dollars.
When the Presidents Message was read
in the Senate, Mr.. Douglas said he con-
CURED with the President in all his views
except in regard to the Kansas Ccnstitu-
ton, and he would express his views on
that subject in few days. Bigler, of Pa,
Mason, of Va, and others, expressed their
determination to stand by the President.
On Thursday, Senator Douglas gave
notice of Lis intention to introduce bill
to enable the people of Kansas to form
State Constitution and State government,
preparatory to their admission into the
Union.
The President has removed Secretary
Stanton, and appointed Gen. Denver in
his stead. The reason assigned is that
Stanton had called an extra session of the
Free State Legislature. Gen. Denver's
appointment was confirmed by the votes
of 90 Democratic Senators-Douglas be-
ing absent. The removal of Gov. Walker
is daily expected. He will be instantly
removed if he starts toward Kansas. The
Administration is determined to force the
Lecompton Constitution upon the people
of Kansas, and any one who dares to show
fair play in the least degree, is removed.
The Democrats from the North who op-
pose the President, will be whipped in or
boughtover.

GOLD MINES IN B1BB Co., ALABAMA
There Is no doubt now, says the Central
Enquirer, but that gold exists in this coun-
ty. We were shown, the other day, a
specimen by Col. II. G. Sneed, who lives
about five miles south of this place. The
Colonel informed us that he found it near
his dwelling, and that large vein could
be plainly seen in the rock. The speci-
men shown us was worth at least ten dol

working the mine in short time.
GOLD IN KANsAs.-George Butler, U.

between the 38th and 39th parallels, near
Pixies Peak, on the South Platte, is aurif-
erous. Mr.. Beck, from the mining regions
Of North Georgia, has visited that part of
the territory, and says that for three hun
dred miles around gold may be obtained.
The Indian Agent says there is some ex-
element among the Greeks about these
golden discoveries. He says further that
It is unsafe for small companies to visitthe
gold section, in consequence of the pres

country is in the extreme Wes-

ES- Mr.. Stetson, the President of the
Trust Company, in an article in Saturday IS
Cincinnati Gazette, says, that such is the
confused and intricate condition of the
Company's books and papers at the New
York Agency. that it is utterly impossible
now TO make any correct statement of its
affairs. Zone serious source of embar-
rassment," he says, "arises from the un-
warranted hypothecation by the Cashier in
New York, of large amount of paper
sent to the Agency for collection only. 1t
is impossible at this time to conjecture for
how much OF this the Company may be
ultimately liable"
Mr. S. further says:
"The causes which have brought the
Company to insolvency, are wholly owing
to the unauthorized and disastrous trans
actions of the Cashier in New York.
"1st. In his dealings with and large
advances to the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad Company, TO aid in the compile
ton of SAID road-this account has not
been adjusted.
"2d. In speculations on his own account
in the stock of this Company, as well as
of other Companies, as also in State Sc
curities.
"3d. In the depreciation of stocks and
securities held by him, as collateral to
unauthorized loans made by him in New
York.
"These are the prominent items, and
the loss sustained on them alone, will, l
fear, be of sufficient amount to absorb the
entire capital of the Company-two mil
lions of dollars
