HORRGBLE MURDER OF A LAWYER AT
RocHEsTER-ARREsT OF HIS WIFE AND
BRoTHER-IN-LAw.-The following more par
tcular account of the supposed murder of a
lawyer, named Charles w. STILES, of Roch-
ester, n. Y, is contained in a Geographic
despatch from that place, dated Dec. 81
"Our city was yesterday morning thrown
into a state of great excitement by the discov-
cry of the mangled murdered body of Charles
w. STILES, of this city, in the Genessee
river, few rods below the falls. From the
pools of blood and other evidences of strug-
giles, the murderers were easily traced from this
place of the fatal conflict to the river, where
they attempted to conceal the evidences of
their crime by sinkingIthe body of their victim.
The water being shallow, the body did not
float away from the shore, and was found at
about o'clock, yesterday Sunday morning.
The body was Immediately taken to the
police Office, and arrests made of his wife, her
brother and several others Of his relatives.
From the evidence, it appeares that Stiles
and his wife did not live happily together,
and that a separation took place about year
ago, but for the past month or two they had
lived together again. On the ground where
were discovered blood and other evidences OF
a conflict, were found piece of victorine,
corresponding with one worn by Mrs. Stiles,
a rosette matching one found in her posses
sion, and a comb, pair of spectaoles, said to
belong to her brother, Ira Stout, young man
aged about % years, and ,ho arm of a chair
said to have been taken from the office where
Stiles was employed. Mrs. STILES left
wrist and her brothers left arm were found
to be broken, showing that they had been en-.
gagged in some extraordinary conflict.

MISSOURI FREE-SOIL VIEW OF DOUG

w AnhiNhloNs ltCC. w. 1000
The moral effect of Douglas demonstration
is plainly apprecablo in political circles The
talisman Of the National Democratic party is
broken; the spell wand which never failed to
rally that great host. and keep it united, is
disenchanted and reduced to vulgar noun
substantive, and ere long its late association
will render it on offence in the ears of all
honest men, Tho most devoted partisans of

the two, Buchanan or Douglas, is the heresi-
arch. The prestige and personal qualities of
the Senator countcrbalance the official author
ity of the President. Indifcrentism and dis
organization pervado the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis from the free States, Party foalty sits
lightly upon them. Membership and fraternity
in the party has ceased to be yoke to bow
their necls, and the title of National Demo-
crat is a despised and meaningless distinction.
Tho secession of Douglas is not like that of
Abdiel from the rebel ranks of Satan, who
went solitary and alone. lie carries with him
one-third of the Democratic Congressman
from the free States, the leading Democratic
journals Of the free States, and the mass OF
tho rank and file. Nor is he without sympa-
thy and support in the border slave States. -
He has given the coup de grdcc-tho finish
ing blow-to the National Democratic party.
1t is no longer a unit, no longer a national
organization, much less pretorian guard to
make Presidents at pleasure. 1t is now a
Slavery party geographically as well as polit-
ically, incapable of putting forth another
plausible delusion, although its faculty of in
vention is marvellous. The dividing line
which ran north of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, of Indiana and Illinois, at the last gem
eral election, runs south Of Mason and Dix
on's line; and the next Presidential election
will not lie between the entire South, fortified
in front by tier of free States and section
of the North, including California, aided by
the friendly neutrality or the active alliance
of the border slave States. The united North
and the divided South will be the parties to
the next contest-Cor. Missouri Democrat.

A PLAN FOR CRUSHING OUT TIE
II1,HI Ia I'll A NJ,


To the Editor Of the ~ v Tribune.
SIR: ] recommend 70 Mr.. Buchanan the
following plan for "crusNing out the Little
Giant:
|. Let the Little Giant be fastened to his
scat in the Senate Chamber, with his head
bent down and his legs under his desk, in
such manner as TO make it impossible for
him to rise and let all weapons be taken
from him, If he has any.
2. Let Mr. Kcitt of South Carolina pro-
vide himself with heavy club, bowic-knifc
and a revolver.
3. Let Mr. Keitt be furnished with body
guard, consisting Of two Members Of Com
gress, ono from South Carolina and one from
Virginia, armed to the teeth
4. Let Mr. Keitt. with his body-guard, be
admitted into the Senate Chamber, and let the
body-guard keep near enough to him to save
him from all possible danger.
g. Let Mr.. Keitt chivarously but cautious
ly, creep up to the Little Giant, and beat him
senscless with his club. Let the beating be
continued for few minutes upon the head Of
the Little Giant after he shall have fallen
upon the floor, so that he may be fully Sub
ducd."
The plan, if thoroughly carried out. would
be practical, chyalric, safc-(this point Mr.
Keitt will appreciate and eGcctua. 1t
would relieve Mr.. Buchanan from much
trouble; would be heartily applauded by
Fernando Wood and the rest of the Demo-
cratic party, and would undoubtedly "Saye
the Union"

~ The snow statute which was erected
during the last night of last year on the COM
mon at Brattleboro', has been reproduced in
marble. The sculptor is Larkin G. Mead, a
young man who has modelled this figure un-
der great difficulties and cut it alone. 1t is a
serious effort to express the spiritual pres
enee which confonts us as we look backward
on the threshold of the year. 1t is called the
Recording Angel, and for earnestness of aim
and the subordination of all prettiness to
character, it deserves much praise Ofcourse
it is no masterpiece, but a thoughtful and
worthy beginning by one who is facing the
right way,-indpendcnt

To Iranistan, the celebrated residence of
p +. Banum, at Bridgeport, Ct, was totally
destroyed by fire last week Thursday night.
The house was erected several years since at
a cost of more than 100000, and has usual
ly been insured at 100000; it was only par
TALLY insured, however, at the time of the
fire, to secure holders of mortgages upon tho
property. Mr.. Barnum was occupying the
house at the time, and the fire is attributed to
incendiarism.

WHERE DID THE SOUTH STAND IN


In 1877, Wisconsin, in a Convention rogu-
larry authorised by Congress, and legally cleo
ted by the whole people of the Territory yot-
ing and acquioscing in the election, made a
State Constitution and sent it to Congress,
demanding admission as a State under it, The
Convention had omitted to submit their Con-
stitution to a vote of the people and Con-
gress therefore sent a. back to the people of
Wisconsin, and required it to be so submit
ted before she could be admitted into the I'm
ion, and it was so submitted and approved.
In 1850, California;, in Convention said
to have been suggested, and certainly ap-
proved, by the President of the United States,
but not authorized by Congress, but which
was elected by the whole people of the Ter
ritory, made a Constitution, which was APP
proved by vote of the people, and present
cd it to Congress, asking admission as a State
under it, and she was admitted Upon the
passage of the bill admitting her as State,
a protest was entered upon the journals OF
the Senate, protesting against its passage for
three principal reasons, viz;
First. That it gave the sanction of law
and thus impaired validity to an Unauthorized
action By a portion Of the inhabitants of Cali
)orRia."
Second. Without any legal census, OF
other evidence of their possessing the num-
Der of citizens necessary to authorize the rep,
resentation they may claim"
Third. Without any Of those safeguards a.

The KANSAS QUEsTroN.-The Philadel-
phia Press enumerates fifteen of the prominent
Democratic journals of Pennsylvania which
oppose the Lecompton movement and sustain
the Kansas policy of Messrs Douglas and
Walker. Various leading Southern journals
of high authority as Democratic oracles,
speak in language which shames some of the
Northern ond-Dougas and Walker journals.
Among these we may mention the Richmond
Examiner, Louisville Democrat, New Orleans
Courier, Richmond Enquirer, and Mobile Req-
isier. The New Orleans Courier says -
There are indications of extravagant de-
mands upon the Northern portion Of the
Democratic members And then goes on to
show the extravagant demands made of
Douglas and Walker, and condemns all who
abuse them.
Ex-Gov. Walker intends to take the stump
against the Administration in tho SOUTH
lie has letters approving his course from lead
ing Democrats Of Maryland and Texas.
