81. LOUIS GAR1oTuo Ckss.-on Mon
day, ono Of the perpetrators of this herribls
deed was examined beforea magistrate. 1t
appear that Theodore Debold, aged II, and
two other boys, named Antoine and Nicholas,
aged Is and II, all of German pareutage,
were employed in Henry Gardeners barber
shop. The boy, Theodore, v no has been ar
rested, confesses that Downie, the man muir
dc,ed, came to the shop about ninc o'clock
to be shaved. lie had visited the shop on
two other occasions, and hadeonrersed about
mules, horses, &C., so as to give an idea that
he was Iuau Of considerable wealth. Upon
the evening in question, after shaving, he
invited Nicholas and Antoine to GO out and
take drink; when they came back, Antoine
persuaded him to be shampooned, and Dow
ME took chair for that purpose; Antoine
then drenched his hair in the fluid used for
cleaning the head, and purposely let some
drops fall into his eyes, thereby binding
him effectually; while this was going on,
Nicholas took q halter which had previously
been. prepared Ter the purpose, put the
moose around the neck of the victim, and
drew it so tight that the very life was choked
out of him in q few seconds. Theodore says
ne struggled but little, and gave but two
short, nervous kicks before life was extinct;
when the rope was put upon his neck, Antoine
took hold Of his hands and kept them tight
in his grasp. A boy who attends in gro
Gerry and liquor store, next door, about this
time, went and looked through the glass
doors, seeing which, the young murderers
shut of the gas, and waited in darkness until
twelve o'clock, when they all three dragged
him out and pitched him into the cellar,
where he was found next morning.
Theodore says that the booty which re-
wardod them for this horrible deed was $50
in money, a silver watch with black silk
guard, and set Of gold shirt buttons. He
further states that the Thursday night fol-
lowing, Antoine and Nicholas took the but
tons and the watch and threw them into O
sewer. He, himself, carried the dead mans
coat and the fatal rope to the lumber yard
where, next day, they were discovered
Downic's hat was put into the stove and
burned up.
This terrible deed exhibits a degree Of
youthful coldblooded deprnvity that is no,
equaled in the annals ofcrime. Two Of tho
boys have made their escape, and the police
are in active search for them.

FROM misunderstanding Floyd, in
his report to Congress, recommended the
entire abandonment Of the Territory OF
New Mexico, as being not worth the
cost Of governing it. lie says its entire
civilized population is only $1,000 souls,
and its whole real estate is only est.
mated at 100000. He says:
"Tc protect this small population, we ere
compelled to maintain large military force
at an annual expense nearly equal to half
the value Of the whole real estate of t he Ter
ritory. Would it not be better to induce the
inhabitants to abandon a country which
seems hardly fit for the habitation of civ
ilized men, by remunerating them for their
property in money, or in lands situated in
more favored rcgionsl Esen if the Govern
ment paid for the property quintuple its
value, it would still, merely on the score of
economy, be largely tho gamer by the trans
