P Communications are crowding in
from all parts of the District, devoted to
the discussion of the claims of the various
aspirants for Congressional honors. The
friends of Mr.. Bingham commenced the

their share Of responsibility for its conse-
quences. We may be told that the men
who thus write "are not sound Republi-

They are among the first, and most sub
stantial Republicans in the District.
We shall however, most positively, de-
cline writing, or publishing anything more
upon this subject, unless compelled by
attacks from the friends of Mr.. Binghams
denomination.
Gentlemen, whose articles do not appear
in the paper, will have to excuse us.
We have opposed there nomination Of

thing is wrong in principle, and also CAL
culated greatly to weaken, if not entirely

ference to erpress in regard to the other

have our private preference, but as an
Editor, we stand uncommitted, and intent
SO to remain. The facts given by oul
correspondent Jefferson" in this papel
are very stubborn but his comparative
made of treating the subject, we neithe
admire nor indorse. The high respecti
bility of the author, together with hi
known fidelity to the Republican cause
entities him to respectful hearing.

ABOUT MEANNEss.-A short time ago, Gregg, the notorious editor of the New Albany Fri bune, published letter purportipg to have been written by President Buchanan to Mr. English. The letter was vile forgery, but it has "gone the rounds of the opposition press" The New York News, in speaking of it, says:
 Any paper holding any claim whatever to responsibility that publishes so ridiculous let ter and pretends that it was written by Mr. Buchanan or any friend of his, would do any other mean thing man is capable of doing.
 There are many astonishingy mean men in the world, the meanest of which we candidly believe are in the republican, party, and the author Of the above is one of the meanest of his specles-unless that honor can be conferred upon him who re-publishes it for the sole pur- pose of giving it currency"
 We can't consent to have the black republi- can party take the palm of meanness from our Kentucky know nothing editors. Nearly every one ot them has published this bogus letter, and published Knowing it to be vile and infamous forgery.-Ky. Yeonsan

A Terrible Story of Murder and Suicide
 in Lorraine County, Ohio.

On Monday night, the 9th inst, Mrs. Will Hams, the wife of Benjamin Williams, wealthy farmer living in Pittsfeld, Lorraine county, Ohio. hung her daughter-a deaf and dumb girl about twelve years of age-and afterwards hung herself
 Mrs. Williams had some time ago commence ed an action against her husband for divorce. and the case had been settled and the suit with drawn on the same day of the murder and sui eide
 The ground of the application for divorce was neglect of duty, and the sympathy of the entire neighborhood was with her. as her bus. band, Benjamin Williams, is shiftless. di,Si- pated man. Mrs Williams was a woman re- spected by all who knew her. but on Monday referred to, charges of gross immortality were made against her, and witnesses were said To defeat her application for divorce. Under lhs state of things, she withdrew her case receiv. ing of Williams forty dollars in money, prom St of four hundred and sixty dollars more, and a deed for sixty acres of land for the benefit of the deaf and dumb girl The deed Was drawn. but remained in the hands of Williams lawyer. The belief of the neighbors now is, that Mrs. Williams was the victim of conspiracy, and at- ter she had settle the suit, her agony of mn d at the position she was placei in, drove her to the prepetration of the terrible deed
 The body of the deaf and dumb danghtcr was found hanging by the ncck, and the feet tied to the rounds of chair; if her feet had been free, they wonld have touched the floor. Mrs. Williams used sheet for tbe purpose tearing it in two, hanging the daughter with one half and herself with the other half A neighbor saw Mrs. Williams, early in the moru- ing, hanging dead at the corner of the house. The family with whom Mrs. Williams was liv- ing were all away from home. excepi child of perhaps four or five years. This child says that in the night she got up and saw the deaf and dumb girl "a swinging in the back room, that Mrs. Williams took the deaf aud dumb girl down, aud put her in bed, with this little child, and that the deaf and dumb girl felt cold."- This, of course, is chd's story, but it is SUD- posed that perhaps Mrs. Williams did take the body down and put it in the child's bed, so as to induce the child again to go to sleep.
