A HoRRBLE Confession - That men will do
strange and revolving things under the excitement
Of fear of an exposure which may ruin character
years since IN New York, in which Colt packed
the body or Adams IN II box and shipped it,
claiming that having killed Adams unintentionnl-
" in sudden fray, and being afraid he would be
charged with wilGul murder, took such means TO
conceal the deed. Prof Webster, too, coimed
that having killed Doct. Purkmun in sudden
quarrel he brought his chemical knowledge to his
service ia attempts 10 destroy by fire and other
means, tho body, and did SO excepting portion
of the jaw bouc.
The case of barber in Chicago named jun
pcrlz which has just been divuged, is still more
remarkable case. This man has just made con-
iesson relative to the remains of n woman found
sometime since in II barrel at the Hudson Railroad
depot, in New York He says that the woman,
whose name was Werner having become tired of
! her abandoned life. committed suicide by hanging
~ his room. ani Ia being fearful that an exposure
of the fact would ruin his character, cut up hev
body. and packing it in barrel shipped 1t Iroh'
Chicago to New York lie detailed all tho re-
voting circumstances with great particularly
and many circumstances tend to corroborate his
terrible story.
He states that he kept tho body thus barrcled
in his room for two weeks and then got a dray
man to take it to the depot. He asked the dray
man to carry the barrel down stairs but tho maj
| rolled it down. much to the horror of j., who

Philadelphia, two years ago, chose democrat
ic charter officers by about 1000 majority In
the decisive struggle ut the Satc election in Oc-
tobcr following, she gave over three thousand
majority for the Buchanan ticket over the
combined opposition, eIecting three Buchanan
members of Congress TO one opposed and her
majority thus given turned the scale in the State,
AMI in effect made Buchanan President In the
Presidential election which swiftly followed, she
gave Buchanan 10000 majority over Fremont.
aud 60O0 over all opposition Last fall, this
majority was reduce TO 3i00, simply because the
Buchanan party did not cheat nearly so much
aa the year preceding. Their honest vote in Sc
was doubtless II larger proportion Of the entire
poll than that Of 81.
A the election just held, the largest vote was
cast that ever was, except in SO. and Mr. Henry
the anti.Lccompton mayor, has been elected by
more than 1000 majority. Every candidate OF
tho opposition city ticket is chosen, with de
cidcd majority of the Councils The average
anti I:ecompton majority is over 5000. This il
on the heel of the vauuled Adm nstration triumph
! in the passage of the English bill. Philadelphia
is the metropolis Of Mr. Buchanans own State
