his own confession of murder committed

the Petersburg Express states that a negro
man belonging to Col. Richard Moss, was
killed and thrown into pool Of water, and
though every eXertion was made to detect
the perpe,rator, the murder remained for
years shrouded in mystery. A few days
ago, according to tue testimony, Vincent con-
essed TO Mr.. SilIa that he committed the
murder; that be placed a rope around the
Negroes neck, and then taking it by the end,

Il Modern Patriot,

Gov. Banks of Massachusetts,, was elected
to the chic! magistracy of that state, we
think, under the pledge Of reforming abuses
in the administration, and restoring the al
fairs Of the Old Bay State to their original
purity and simplicity. Some Of the electors,
it is true, did not place confidence in the pre-
tossions Of the candidate and the party, but
it seems large plurality accepted them, and
transferred Mr.. Banks from congress to the
executive chair. According to staten euts
which reach us in the papers, he has signal
lzrd his retirement from the congressional
hailg by an act rather calculated to destroy
whatever Of confidence may have been re-
posed in bis economical professions. The
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Post makes the following statement:
"Mr. Banks will 90, and will return
no having first, ! understand, drdun
imH pay far the session, under the Joint reso-
luton lately passed. lie manages thus to
get years salary for about four weeks ser
vice. No wonder he didn't resign before.-
His holding on made just difference Of
- 600 IN his p0cket--nO mean sum in hard
times. He will now 20 on drawing his sala
ry as governor of Massachusetts for the
same period he has actually been paid as
member Of congress"
If this statement is correct, Mr.. Banks
will have drawn for his congressional servce
Of seventeen days Sundays included) the
sum Of three thousand dollars, best mIege
amounting, we suppose. to about S40O more.
Technically 1t would seem, that 4 member
might be entitled to comp ensation pro rata
tor the whole time FROM March 18th to his re-
signatiOn, which certainly ought to satisfy
any reasonable degree Of aVarice, but to
claim to the end OF the year, when he served
but seventeen days, is going it" a little too
strong.
Tie successor of Mr.. Banks is 10 be che
sen at n special election t. be held, We think,
on the 1th pr9ximo. BY the same reasoning
We suppose be will be entitled to draw pay
from the beginning Of the year, so that two
iullsalarics must be paid for the services of one
representative portion Of the time. Should
be be elected to the United States senate in
place Of Mr. SumOer, who, in some quarters,
is expected to resign, it will then be ques-
ton whether be is not cutitled 70 whole
years salary as governor, and also a years
salary as senator making over $4,000 10

no such intention when he delivered his it,
