Ger replied that the lady waiting in the entry that
himself and two Others had endeavOred to squeeze her

he wished the Judges advice in the premises.
The Judge said that It was an extraordinary case

recommended that Miss Smith be moved from the en-
try TO the front door, and he thought that she must

the prisoners dock.

mrably-the door being some twenty feet wide, very
little comprising WAS Deeded-and with trown OF
indignation upon her pretty brow, Miss Smith found
herstt face TO face with the Judge and listened to the
complaint which was read to her.
The officer testified that half dozen times during

The PLoT MATURED.-The Bee puts at the
head of its columns the name of Hon. Ma.
thanlel L. Banks as the American candidate
for Governor of Massachusetts, subject to the
decision of the American State Convention.
The Bee remarks Il
"We may mention the fact as indicating
the wisdom of the choice, that at meeting
of the members of the American party, held
last week, where all the counties OF the State
were represented, and about eighty persons
were present, there was very strong expires"
sion of opinion in favor of the selection Of Mr..
Banks as the candidate upon the Springfield
platform"
The Bee has an undoubted right to nomi-
nate candidate for Governor, and we have
no doubt of the g wisdom of the choice" on
the basis of the Springfield platform. The
Know Nothings have no other man in their
ranks who possesses 1.-THE of the ability, skill
and adroitness of Mr.. Banks. He is the most
accomplished trimmer of all our Northern pol
iticians; though the recollection Of his many
foxy wiles, and especially of his touching
tears at the Republican Convention last year,
is still fresh IN our memory, so great is our
admiration of his accomplishments, that we
could almost do violence to our convictions
and advocate his election, if there were not
such an obvious cat in the meal. OF course
the Bee does not find it expedientto announce
the whole of the programme by which Gard
ner, through the instrumentality Of MIR. Banks,
the sick Damrell, and his own matchless au-
dacity, intends to accomplish further schemes
of self agrandizement. But if the Republi-
cans OF Massachusetts are awake, if they re-
member how they were duped and tricked
last year, by the shuttlecook game, by the
strange "bobin around" of Messrs Banks and
Wilson from one convention to the other, from
the Know Nothings to the Republicans if
they do not wish to be again sold to Henry ].
Gardner and his satellites, then let us take
no more candidates at his dictation The
sworn ally and supporter of the man who has
| just filled the measure of his insolence by
trampling in the dust the ardent, long de-
ferred hopes of the friends of freedom, and
setting up his despotic will in opposition to
the demands of three quarters Of tie voters
| OF the Commonwealth, is no candidate for
| honest, earnest, freedom loving Republicans.
Let the Know Nothings nominate him and
set him on their Springfield Platform if they
choose, but when they come to us to dictate
! again with insolent threats who shall be our
candidates, let them be treated with the con-
tempt they merit. The Republican party has
| in its ranks plenty of good men and true,
from whom we can select man who will
neither lie, nor traffic in the wrongs of his fell
low eittzens.-F itchburg ReUile.

MURDER IN RUSSELL Massive learn
from the Springfield Republican, that as
Isaac Jackson of Westfeld, Jew pedler,
was driving his pedler wagon on the main
road between Westfeld and Russell, Tues
day forenoon, he was murdered and after
wards his person and wagon was robbed of
their valuables. About ten o'clock man
calling himself Charles Jones, presented HIM
self at the house of Simon Mallory, who
lives near the "Feeder Dam" on the road to
Russell, and wished to have some boxes
made, as he said to pack goods in, About
this hour the pedler's horse was found stra y
ing without its master, which, combined
with the recent report of pistol, and the
strange manner and errand of Jones, excited
suspicious in the mind of Mallory and his
neighbors, and upon searching the bank of
the river, the body of Jackson was found,
covered with rubbish and leaves. He had
been shot through the heart. Jones was inn
mediately secured. Upon him were found a
loaded pistol ond money and clothes, that the
brother of Jackson, living in Westfeld, has
identified as being those the deceased took
away with him that morning. Jones has
been srraigned before magistrate and held
for trial.
He is a native of Montpelier, VT, is about
twenty-four years old, and has but just com
peted four years term in the Weathersfeld
State Prison for heavy burglaries at Hartford.
He was formerly known as the ministerial
burglar, being both a Milerite preacher and
robber.
