Considerable excitement has been ex-
isting among the people of Orange and
Caledonia Counties during the past week
on the account of the man who at pres
ent bears the name standing at the head
of this article. The facts so far as we
have them from reliable sources, are
these On Friday, Jan. 20, young wo-
man from Sutton, by tie name Of Olive
Ashe, died at the establishment of this
Howard-who styles himself Doctor
and processes great skill-under circum-
stances which led her friends Cousins in
Bradford to believe that her death had
been caused by Howard in procuring an
abortion. The more the case was inves-
tfgated the stronger grew the circumstan-
tial evidence that the suspicious were
well founed. Upon the representations
and solicitations of the leading citizens
of Bradford, the States Attorney of
Orange Co., c. c. Dewey, Esq, with an
officer of the town of Bradford, after
having arrested Howard, proceeded to
Sutton with view Of procuring a post
m0rtsna examination of the body of Miss
Ashe, which, at the time of their arrival
in Sutton had been inferred some two
days. The civil authorities of the town
ordered the body to be disenterred and q
coroners inquest was held upon it by one
of the Justices of the town, after a post
mortem examination by DR.. c. P. Frost
Of St. Johnsbury, DR.. Bliss of Bradford,
and DR.. Carpenter of Sutton. The ex-
animation revealed unmi stakeable evi.
dences that death was caused by violence
used in procuring the abortion. Before
the examination Of Howard, information
was brought from Stanstead that the
body of Miss Young of Stanstead, who
had died at Towards house in Bradford
on the 9th of January, had been exam
ined by the physicians Of Stanstead, who
were satisfied that her death was also
caused in the same manner as that Of
Miss Ashe. Other evidence also corob-
GRATED their opinion. On Tuesday
morning of last week Howard was brought
before Justice Woodward of Bradford
for examination. He, however, waived
examination, and the only question made
by his counsel was as TO the amount oil
bail that would be required. The afore-
said Justice, taking into full considera-
ton the magnitude Of the crime charged
considered the enormous sum of 5000
sufficient bail in each case. This was
readily furnished by a rag-a-muffin crew
of admirers of Howard, some seventy
five of whom affixed their names TO hi.
bonds. This man is now at large, ready
to continue his practices upon any who
may commit themselves TO bis tender
mercies. We were greatly surprised
that Justice could be found in a State
considered as law-abiding as is Vermont
who should have so low an estimate Of
the crime of man-slaughter as to consider
5000 sufficient bail to bring a man tc
trial charged with that offence. Such
decisions seem to US to offer a premium
10 crime, and TO make our laws like a
dead letter upon the Statute Book Cal
edon!aR.

Enquirer says:
THE Senate meeting called for the
purpose of purging the party, was har-
monious. Mr.. Douglas was unable TO
attend, owing TO the very dangerous ILL
ness of his wife. Mr.. Stuart and Mr..
Broderick did not choose TO do so. They
were read out a day or two ago. 1t
would be well for the people of the Free
States to notice the particulars of this
reading out process. The Senators who
favor the Lecompton proceeding are
twenty-eight from the South and seven
from the Nerth. l do not include the
two from Indiana, as they were not elect
ed, and are not properly members of the
body. These seven Senators from the
North assume TO speak for sixteen or
eighteen millions of people, who almost
unanimously reject their authority to
speak for them in anything. The read
ing out of the great Northern Senators
who have the enthusiastic support of
these millions, is done by the representa-
tives of fifteen slave States, containing
eight or nine millions of people, followed
by tall of paltry body servants who
call themselves Conservatives and Ma
tional Democrats, and not one Of whom
could be elected gate-keeper on a coun-
try road. The Democratic party of the
Senate, therefore, is reduced to twenty
eight Southern fanatics on slavery, and
seven Northern renegades, hated and
scorned by their constituents. Dr.. Gwinn
of California carried to that State the
same feelings which governed him when
member of the House from Mississippi,
and he should be classed with the TWEEN
ty-eight. The other six are so many
clansmen, ready for any service of their
Southern chiefs. have nothing to say
of any of them except as to their assur-
ance in presuming to read anybody out
of the party.
Times Correspondence The House
Select Committee on Kansas had a meet
ing this afternoon and had stormy time
of it. The majority voted down every
proposition looking to a fair inyestiga-
ton of the facts.
Tribune Correspondence. The Ad-
ministration Senators intend TO hasten
the passage of the Lecompton Constitu
ton by resolution to close debate al
early day. The debate promises to be
one of the greatest in the history o
Congress. All the Republican Senator:
are preparing to take part in it. judge
Douglas is making ready for great de
monstration. The separation of himsel
and Messrs. Stuart, Broderick, Harris
Marshall, Montgomery, Hickman, Cox
and their associates, from the Lecomp
ton party is looked upon as final and com
plete. Arrangements are in progress
for the consolidation of great anti-Le
compton party. 1t is said that Postmas
ter Gray, of the Cleveland Plain-dealer
is to be removed this week, in spite Q
his caving in on Lecompton.

Wynham county, Conn, and is now about

third he was elected unanimously, and at
the fourth his majority was eight thou
