bills were printed. The Ottoman government
accordingly wrote to the Turkish rninttor NJ

and that she had, during judicial procecIyyg
made before the minister Of police, stated thai

Horsford Smith, Esq, which letter arrived on
Wednesday, by the Arago, giving his Suspicion
that there was yet a large quantity of the co,n.
terfeit money to be found on lIarrisonss prem
ises.
Mr. Smith proceeded at once before the may
or, where he made the necessary allidavits, up
on which warrant was issued and placed in
the officers hands.
The officers, on searching 1Tarrison's place
recovered about 100000 of the counterfeit
money, which they found upon the shelves in
the office. All the plates were recovered, and,
together with the prisoners, conveyed before the
mayor
Mr. Harrison, when arrested, seemed very
much surprised, especially when informed that
he had been arrested for counterfeiting. There
can be no doubt but that Mr. Harrison was en-
tirely ignorant of what use the material was to
have been put to, and as stated by him, before
the mayor, that he supposed them to be labels
for some Chinese articles. The other parties
arrested were John Sorney, Richard Tweed, j.
w. Rumsey, NJ. ]. Stillwell, Fred. Stner, Nor
ris Roach, James Connolly, and T. w. Griffith,
all printers.
The mayor, after short conversation with
Mr. Smith, decided to hold Mr. Harrison to bail
in the sum of $4,000 to answer, if any examine
ton might be required. His clerks were also
held as witnesses. Mr. Harrison soon gave the
required bail and was discharged.
He describes Mrs Sevesti as a woman appar-
rently about forty years of age, and was at all
times elegantly attired and very ladylike in her
manners.
Mr. Harrison has published card in which
he says that he entirely and absolutely innocent
of any criminalknowledge or intent in the whole
matter, not having entertained the remotest sus-
picion, AT the time the job was done, or since,
that the printing which he executed could be
put to any illegal use. The job came to his Of
fee apparently in the regular course of business.
The womrn, being a stranger to him, was told
the rule of the office, requiring from strangers
a reference or an advance payment she chose
the latter alternative and the job was put in
hand and executed as soon as it could conven-
iently be done"

The Legislature.

We get nothing from the Legislature this
week of any great consequence. Our Dos is
entirely mum. We don't know the reason, un-
less he laid himself out to largely last week,
and is lying by to regain his exhausted faculties.
We notice, however, that bill has passed the
House to annex part of the towns of Somer-
set and Stratton to the town of Wilmington ;
and also in the Senate bill to incorporate the
Village of Brattleboro.
A resolution was introduced by Mr. Mathew
son of Mendon, whereas the State has been put
to great expense, to wit: to the sum of $4,000
Or more, by the recent adjournment of the Leg
isature; therefore reSotced, that the committee
on debentures, be directed to deduct from the
debentures of each member who was absent
from his seat for the time which the House was
adjourned. On motion of Mr.. Hebard of Ran
dolph, the resolution was laid on the table.
This is right, we hope the resolution will pass.
What right have members of the Legislature
to go home for few days, and toast their shins
by their own fire, or otherwise absent themselves,
and then take their pay for absent time out of
the peoples pocketsP Mr.. Mathewsons reso-
luton should be voted in the affirmative.

Horrible Tragedy in New York,

There was horrible massacre in West Thir-
tetb street, New York. last Tuesday night ow-
ing to an attempt of the oldest son of Francis
Gouldy to murder his fathers family, consisting
Of ten persons. One of the victims is already
dead, and the recovery of the others is matter
of much doubt.
The murderer used Ratchet, by which he
split his fathers head open, and hacked and hew-
ed upon the heads of his mother and brothes,
and two servants. His sister 10 years old es-
capped by lockidg the door of her room. Hav-
ing committed this foul and wicked act, he re-
tired to his room and blew his brains out with
a pistol. 1t is supposed he committed the UNI
natural act out Of reroige-his father having
frequently rebuked him for his desolute habits
in being out late at night.
In Iowa, the other day, a brute of man kick
ed his wife. The indignant neighbors assem-
bled, tied him up, and made jackass kick him

Highway Robbery and Attempt to Murder.

A most daring highway robbery and attempt
to murder, was perpetrated on the "Pine Plains"
about three miles south of this village on We'd
nesday night, between the hours of eleven and
twelve. Considerable excitement prevails. and
strenuous efforts are being made to discover the
wretches, but as yet no clue has been obtained
which may lead to their arrest. The circum-
stances, as far as wehaye been able TO learn are

stefan of Clintonvlle, in this county, had occa-
sion to visit this place on Wednesday, but be-
ing detained until a late hour, concluded to
start then, so that he might be here early Thurs
day morning; just as he entered the "plains,"
which extend about four miles, with only one
or two houses. he overlook man on foot who
requested a ride as far as Plattsburgh. The
doctor took him in, but had not proceeded but
short distance when they met a man who APP
peared to be very much intoxicated this man
inquired of the Doctor whether he had seen a
buggy wagon and black horse on the road, and
as he turned to reply to him, the one in the
wagon struck him a blow on the head which
knocked him out of the wagon. The DOCTOR
who Is muscular man, succeeded in knocking
one of the rufiians down twice. but was finally
overpowered by them both. They then demand
ed his money, and he told them he had none
for them, at which they became much enraged

the next morning, when he came to himself, and

dead. He succeeded in getting into his wagon,
which was near him, and driving to this village.

WHO TIE DEUCE WAS ITp-Brown tells us
Vermont story which, he says is as authentic
as the best of The Post anecdotes and, certain
ly, nothing more can be required. A respecta-
bic gentleman in Windsor County, many years
ago, had an ambition to represent his town in
the State Legislature. Though man of good
cearacter and every way able enough for the
office he sought he happened, as Aunt Peggy
used to say, to have "a great many winning ways
to make folks hate him." and was, in fact, the
most unpopular man in town. Going to Squire
X, aninfiuental man who happened to be friend
ly to him, he laid his case before him, and ask
ed his influence; saying that he didn't expect
help without paying for it, and declaring that if
he could get KS influence he was sure to be
elected The Squire "put in his best jumps
for his man; but when the ballot-box was turn
ed, another man was declared elected. The dis
appointed candidate called out to know how the
votes stood, and learned that he had got Just
three votes "But don't understand it," said
he turning to the Squire with chop fallen
countenance. "Nor either" said the Squire,
81 put in my vote; you put in another /; but
who the ID put in the third is more than can
imagine !"

There is dearth of news on every side. Not
much else but political matters occupy the col
umns of the newspapers. If abusive epithets
could win a victory, all sides would most as
suredly win. Now and then we get word
about the Atlantic cable, how some big battery
is to be hitched on and put the electric fluid
through, broken or not-but they don't do it.
If these men of science would go to work and
submerge a cable with a wire enclosed large
enough for the distance across the ocean in lieu
of the present one, which is no bigger than an
old womans knitting-needle, the thing would
be done.
The prize fight between Morrissey and Hee-
nan is over with, but while it was maturing the
great public was all agape-bets run high
blacklegs, DULLES, shoulder-hitters, rowdies-
and the pugilistic world in general, came nigh
bursting their boilers with the excitement. The
knock down gentlemen meta knock down COM
menced-the gaping and excited crowd were
amazed and delighted at the scientific hits these
two blackguard DULLES made upon each Others
noses. Morrssey's nose was pounded into sau-
sage meat, and Heenan's was knocked into q
cooked hat by an upward hit So much for pu-
gilistic science and pluck. Verify, the world is
growing wiser-it is improving-a little the
wrong way though. The mind must be sadly
depraved when pleasure is derived in witnessing
such brutality.

THE NEW ENGLAND 1HEoCRACY.-A History of
the Congregationalists in New England to the Reviyals
of 1740, by H. F. Uhden, with Preface by the late
Dr. Neander Translated from the second German
edition, by II. c. Conant. Published by Gould &
Lincoln, Boston, So Washington street.
This is one of the most interesting histories that has
ever been published relating directly to the people
of New England. Our foreiathers were strictly a re-
gous people, and their theology should be studied by
all their descendants The men who made New Eng
land what it is, believed in "higher law" and ap-
peaed to the Jewish code rather than Coke and Black
stone In the earlier years OF their government all
civil officers selected from the church, and were
amenabe to the church for any derelcton of duty or
judgment.
Religious freedom and liberal politics gradually I'M
dermned this practical theocracy but its influence
and marks are still visible in all present nstitu-
tons. The reading OF this history will modify our
prejudices against the right acts of the pilgrims as
impartial history represents them as men DESTROYS Of
forming institutions under which "all the interests of
humanity shall be allowed each its rights, and free
development according to its own peculiar laws, that
one may be sacrificed to anoher--this is genuine
this is Christian Liberalism"

John Van Buren, made flaming speech at
Tammany Hall, New York, on Monday night
The Tribune says "John is perfect gentleman,
and thinks it is a great pity he has not little
more political honesty" If we mistake not Mr.
Van Buren, has turned his political coat SO often
that it would be difficult to tell which side is
which. He now comes out for the Administra-
ton, and lauds Mr.. Buchanan to the skies. In
1S4S Mr. V. B. was flaming abolitionist, and
choked with indignation at the aggression of
slavery. Well, man has perfect right to al
ter his mind when he is convinced of his error
But politician is not expected to have any set
tied principles, or to know for a certainty which
end his head is on, but be always ready to put
it on either place, as occasion may require.
