Mr.. Hoard again disclaimed any par
ty spirit or intention to wound the feeling
of any man. When he introduced his
proposition he did not suppose that there
would be any opposition. He ~contended
that it was a legitimate subject of inqui-
ry, that common fame was sufficient
ground for investigation. There is q com
mon rumor, that the Executive is now en-.
deavoring to control the action of the
House, and that he has heretofore en-
deayored to do so. 1t was common ru-
NOR that led to investigation in the VOL
colt case. Inquiry was not in pursuit Of a
victim. but the offender. MI. Hoard was
informed that Mr.. Morris had twice en-
deayored to get the floor to make some af-
frmation of the truth Of the statement,
which Burns denied, relative to his vote
in reference to the Leeompton Message
to the Committee on Territories. Mr..
Smith of Illinois, and Mr.. Moore of Ill.
both informed him Hoard that Burns
was previously relied on as an ante-Le-
comptonite. 20

The Speaker announced the first bust

a select committee to examine the charge
relative to Executive influence upon the

being, shall the resolution be entered as
a question of privilege?

Mr.. Hoard said he had twice disclaim-

The increase, it will be noticed, is most conspicu-
Gus in the general merchandise item, and may doubt
less be ascribed to the accidental concurrence of
several heavy arrivals at this port. The universal
testimony of the mercantile is that the foreign
fall trade VIII be small that in short while the
entries OF foreign merchandise will fall of considera
bly, and that Mr. Cobbs anticipatioos of an increase
of duties which viii enable him to dispense with the
second half of the twenty million loan, are destined
to an early disappointment. These views may, of
course, be fasifed by events. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the working of the Atlantic telegraph
cable-should it work uccessfully-will have a
tendency to improve, secure and develope legi'
innate trade. Every continuance which multiplies
intercourse between commercial nations gives birth
to traffic; the telegraph compared to which all pre-
sent means of intercourse sink into nsignidcance, is
not likely to prove exception to the rule. Again,
should the gold discoveries Frazer river answer
the expectations of the Californian emigrants and
should stream of gold of say half million month
only set in toward New York from Frazer river
this fall, il is hard to how business could avoid
feeling the stimulus. We have the money here on
which to build up great trade; confidence would
quietly spring up, if these or similar incidents i'm
parted the impetus which is wanting.

A Taie of Morrors-An ImcaFnat6
Fiend.

Governor McWillie,. Of Mississippi, il
charged BY the Vicksburg Southron with
having pardoned out OF the penitentiary a
man named Dyson, whe had assassinated
another man named Nelms, for which he
was simply sentenced to the prison for four.
teen years. That paper says of the crimi.
nal:
He wuylaid his victim, with whom he had
q. deadly feud; brought him down at the first
shot, and then, emerging from his hiding
place, taunted his dying victim with words
of insult and reproach, and finally concluded
by placing the muzzle of his gun to the body
OF Nelms and firing a second time. This
shot produced instant death, and SO close
was the gun to the victim that the flesh Of
the murdered man was burnt by the explo.
sion. Having completed the work of slaugh.
ter, he deliberately mounted his horse, rode
to the house of Nelms, called his wife out,
informed her that he had murdered her hus.
band, and directed her where to find his
mangled corpse.
Dyson is blood,stained, blood.thirsty;
incarnate fiend. He is not man, but
ferocous tiger, and Governor McWiIlis has
no moro right to turn such beast loose upon
the community than he has to open the ca.
ges OF whole caravan of tigers. His an.
tecedents are well known, too, and they
should have forbidden all hope of Executive
clemency. The murder of Nelms was not
his first taste OF blood. He had previously,
in most base and cowardIy manner, muir.
dered lawyer named Moss, of De Soto
county, by shooting him in the backas Mos,
rode from him. He had murdered three Of
his own negroes, and one of them in man.
ner so horribly appalling as to cause the
death Of his own wife. This case occurred
at his own table, and the victim of his fl and,
ish rage was woman. Taking offence as
something that the woman did, or omitted
to do, while waiting at the table, he rose,
drew bowie knife, and, with aspgle blow,
ripped her open. His wife swoonned, and
when she awoke to consciouspess, he had
cut the negro's heart out. .and. i. wifi. it upon
his knife, he thrust i! into her face! She
swooned again, and the, result of her horror
and fright brought on commissions, from
the effects Of which she soon died..

The independent Trensnrx

Where the Ohio Independent Treasury
law has been examined BY men learned in
financial matters, it is spoken OF with the
highest favor. Those Republican writer's
in Ohio who SO bitterly denounce the meas.
ure, will be compelled before year passes
to admi. that they spoke as partizans, not
having an eye to the true interests Of the
StGte.
The following wise and sensible predic
tion We cot frcm the New York Evening
POst, leading Republican journal, and one
that has . high reputation for its financial
reports:
1--WE predc, that this measure will bring
about larger every day use of coin in the
State OF Ohio, than in the other States, anC
will give to Ohio the possession of large
lreportion Of the specie Of the country thar
she would otherwise have, at the expense
81 the other States; and that the State stocks
Of Ohio will rise in value constantly as sht
approaches nearer and nearer to the paymen
of oil the States credits in coin. A part o
the high credit Of the United States Govern
ment stocks is unquesiionably due to the
assurance the holders haYe that the debt
principal and interest, will be paid in actua
money.
eve elso predict that the State Stocks Of
Ohio will, for this reason, soon bee ONE o.
higher value in the market, oil other circum
stances being fairly considered, than those
If any other State. And we predict further
80 eaey end popular will the operation o
the system be found, that oil payment.
whatever, in and out Of the Ohio State
Treasury, will be actually made in coin be
fore tie period fixed by law fer this consum
nation.
