A Strange and FrightTuI Event

n eNNN ~ SsAN'
An old woman named Winterbrn, who
has been in the habit of visiting the rooms
of Mr.. j. s King, on Cherry Alley, and
who occupies room in the same house,
paid her accustomed visit yesterday NOR
ming. While Mr.. King was busying her
self about the room and the old woman
was apparently fondlmg with Mrs. Il S
lite girl, the child uttered sharp cry of
distress, and the mother, to her horror,
saw the wretChed old woman with fren-
zied energy striving to cut the throat Of
the child with a sharp razor Although in
very feeble health, she grappled with the
mad old woman, who soon got Mrs, K
upon the floor and erdeavored to stranglc
her. To this she added an effort to grasE
the razor and Kill her victim, who only
saved herself from this horrid erd by
graspng the razor in her hand and hold
ing on to II until her fingers were nearly
severed from her hand.
A second little girl of Mrs X som,
two years Of age cried out loudly for as
siStance, and some persons came and ar
rested the old woman. She is evidentl
mad and always labomg under the ide
that her family of children, who have al
left her, have been entced away by he
neighbors. She has been fulycommitte
to await her trial for assault and batter
with intent to kill. The child is not sc
riously wounded, nor the mother phys
caly much hurt, yet 1t will probably b
some time before they will recover-Pit

discussion. These gentl'
ly about abolition lies, traif ec., and
exhausted the vocabulary Of the party in,I
abuse of the "3lack Republicans.
Since that time, every charge made
against the Democratic party at that
meeting, has proven true, and by wit,
nesses Of their own party, many OF them
being in high official stations under the
Democratic administration. For proof
of this we refer to the letters Of Geary,
Walker and Stanton, and the very able
report Of Senator Douglas, recently made
to the United States Senate.
Now, we are wonderfully exercised to
know where these gentlemen stand at the
present time upon this question. Do
they think now as they did then, that it
is treason to speak against the action of
the President, and that those who DO so
deserve the halter? When we make in
quiries of them on the subject, they are
very much like the little boy; they have
nothing to say.
We have always believed, and SO ex

THE success or defeat Of the Border
Rdff1n villainy, known as the Lecompton
Constitution, is looked upon by the peo'
pie Of this country, as a question OF the
greatest moment. We intend to keep
our readers fully posted from week to
week upon the progress OF the scheme
We have always b leved that this
scheme would be consummsted, but we
s'nay be mistaken. On the one hand, it is
3 baskcd up bp tle whole power of the ad-
l.ministration. This power is oxerted in
y two ways: BY Executive patronage, and
by inlimidation. 1t has been charge d
:; that The President holds ten millions of
dollars Of government patronage. that he
intends 10 use in purchasing the votes oil
certain northern members of Congress.
We do not know that members Of Con-
cress can be bought, but they are them,
\ .sl-es very sensitive upon the subject Of
a..sh charges, and 1t is in evidence that
Egs sums,ol money have heretofore been
knded to facilitate the passage Of GER
& measures through Congress. The
resident has commenced the work Of in.
nidatiop, by removing from office such
ennocrats as oppose this measure. Then
s4he South urgently demands the admis-
sion Of Kansas under the Lecompton
constitution, and openly threatens disu'
nion in case Of its rejection. We all
Know what terror the cry of dsunlon
strikes into the dough faced Democracy
4 OF the North.
On the other hand, the scheme is OPP
posed by all the Republican members oI
Congress, who arc always in their places

ness nor death in their families prevent
