have the clue to the whole labyrinth of his
existence; pluck, duplicity, and engaging
manners were his armor, creed, instincts, re-
lance not without efficiency at crimes and
for temporary ends, admirable means of sue
cess in war and intrigue, but the most undesir-
able combination for permanent and satisfacto-
ry triumphs--alien to the manly trust. to the
frank enjoyments, and TO the moral security
wherein true fame and genuine love are always
entrenched. They account for all that Burr
did and failed to do for his repute as young
soldier; his success in gallantry; his attain
ment of the second office in the gift of the
people, after only four years political proba-
tion; and the total loss of the confidence of
his party in almost the brief period of
time; for his ILL started Mexican expedition,
for his generosity donor and his unrelia-
bility as a debtor, for the suspicion he excited
in men, and the favor he won from women, for
the cool premedition of his duel, and his in
difference to consequences-moral.s social, and
physical; for his derogation of Washington,
and his admiration of French philosophers,
for his frivolous talk and his studied manners,
for his fortitude and his skepticsm, for his
legal shrewdness and social plausbility, for
his agreeability in the salon and his lonely old
age, for his self-reliance and irreyereDt spirit,
his fascination and his fate.

Horrid Massacre.

a horrid affair took place on the night of
Oct. 9th, In West Thirtieth street, New Y York
city. Two persons We're killed. and five, it is
supposed, mortally wounded. The victims are
the family of Francis Goulding, Esq, Lum Der
Merchant, consisting of himself, his wife, two
sons, two daughters. and a servant girl. The
murderer the eldest son of Mr.. Goulding.
He returned home about II O'Clock, laboring
under delirium tremens. Proceeding to the
cellar, he got an axe, then went to his fathers
chamber and attacked him, beating in his
skull by several blows from the axe. The
father cannot live. Mrs. Goulding. hearing
the cries Of her husband, rushed from another
room to his assistance, but was in turn attack
ed by the infuriated son and very badly wound
ed. His two brothers, one three years old and
the other fourteen, were next attacke ed, receiv-
ing several blows from the axe. The eldest
will not live. His married sister, with baby
in her arms, was the next victim, but she man.
aged to escape without being seriously injured.
Two servant girls who had rushed into the hall,
were next attacked and so horribly butchercd
that it is feared neither will live. The assassin
finally went to his own chamber, where, after
locking himself in, he blew out his brains with
pistol. The Goulding family have held
highly respectable position in the community.
Mr.. G. is an officer of the Thirtieth St. Metho-
dist Church and is well known.

The FLORIDA WAR.-II is stated that near
ly million of dollars will be required TO pay
the volunteers alone engaged in service against
the Florida Indians during the late troubles
previous to their removal, and for losses by
depredations. Each Indian will have subject
ed the Government to a cost something near
one hundred thousand dollars. Of the above
sum, about S500,000 will be required to pay
the volunteers called into the service by the
General Government, and say 100000 for
those called out by the State, under her mill
tia laws, whose payment the General Govern
ment assumed. The remainder will be con-
sumed in indemnifications for losses by depre-
dations.- Washington Union.

A MAN MUST BE TRIED BY TWELVE JURORS

a NAN MUST BE TRIED BY TWELVE JURoRs.-
The Court of Appeals, New York. has award
ed 4 trial TO Canceui, convicted OF murder,
because he was tried by eleven jurors only,
though the prisoner assented to this arrange
ment. The Court, however, holds that trials
for crimes must take place as the law pre-
scribeS, and the State has an interest in pre-
serving the lives.and liberties of its citizens,
aud will not allow surrender of them. If a
deficiency of one juror could be allowed. a
deficiency of eleven might also be permitted,
or the trial be committed to the Court alone,
an innovation which would destroy the insti-
tuition of trial by jury. Cancemi has been
tried three times; twice he was convicted
and the verdict set aside, and once the jury
disagreed. He now has another chance for
his life

Who the Deuce was It'll

Brown tells us Vermont story which, he
says, is as authentic as the best of The Post
anecdotes, and, certainly, nothing more can
he required. A respectable gentleman in
Windsor county, many years ago, had an am
bition to represent his town in the State Leg
islature. Though a man of good character,
and every way able for the office lie sought,
he happened, as Aunt Peggy used to say, to
have great many winning ways to make
folks hate him. and was in fact the most un-
popular man in town. Going to Squire Y,
an influential man who happened to be friend
ly to him, he laid his case before him, and
asked his influence saying that he did not
expect help without paying for it, and decla-
ring that if he could get KS influence he was
sure of being elected. The Squire ssput in
his best jumps for his man; but when the
baIlot-box was turned another man was de-
clared elected. The disappointed candidate
called out to know how the votes stood, and
learned that he had got just three votes !!
ssBut don't understand it, said he turning
to the Squire with chop-fallen countenance.
ssNor l either," said the Squire, II put in
my vote you put in another; but who the
deuce put in the third is more than can i'm
agine !''-Bosfon Post.

FALL OR SPRING planting OF TREEs--Mr.
Loughrey. who is one of the oldest and most
intelligent fruit growers in southern OHIO,
does not approve of fall planting as a general
rule because in very severe winters trees are
more liable to suffer injury after recent reno
val, but he prefers to procure his trees IN the
fall, especially if they are to come from q dis
tance, and heel them in deeply in dry mellow
soil, where they will remain safely until
spring, and be ready for planting whenever the
ground is in right condition. He also prepares
his land in the fall, plowing deep as possible,
then digging the holes wide and deep. leaving
them open through the winter for the frost and
rain to mellow and fertilize the soil. This is
especially advant ageoIs where the subsoil is
OF clayey or compact nature, as is the case
in most parts of Ohio.-CRifirator,

up as follows :-sIn conclusion, pesmit me TO
warn you against the tricks and machinatlohs
of designing demagogues, who prefer turmoil
and strife to peace and prosperity, for 1t is on
ly at such times that they can bring themselves
into notice. In this Territory there has been
a mania for making State Constitutions, and
effort after effort has been made to organize
State Government, before any of the necessa-
ry preparations have been made to meet its re-
sponsibilties without dollar in the treasury,
with but little taxable property, without any

The Overland Route.

The new overland route from California,
which has just been opened, will no doubt be-
come permanent thoroughfare for em mgrants
and passengers. Those who have an aversion
to s'gOing down into the sea in ships,''- feel
ing likely to be increased by recent marine
disasters-will have opportunity of ex-
changing the perilS incident 10 salt water ex-
cursicns, for those of the forests and plains of
the wilds of America, where The not always
friendly red man holds undiSputed sway. That
class of people who have dash of romance in
their dispositon-who would not give fig for
journey if it was not garnished with hair
breadth escapes and exciting adventures-will
also be attracted to this new mode of reaching
our dOminions on the Pacific. The prospect
Of lunching on the banks of r-off river-of
sharing the floor with hardy pioneer in his
lonely ranche-of dining in an old Spanish
for;-of riding for whole days under the es-
cort of a guard armed to the teeth with Sharp's
rifles and Colts revolvers, to the disappoint-
ment of scattered groups of painted savages
skulking in their sylvan hiding places-gives
heroic aspect TO the trip. The journey has
also many fascinations for the lovers of mag
nifcent scenery-of gigantic mopntains-of
grand old riversland boundless praries, which
glide past the wondering beholder in splendid
succession. The st. Louis Republican, in
late issue, publishes the clog of solitary
passenger by this new route, who made the
journey from that city to San Francisco in the
course of some four weeks. The account is
highly interesting, and reminds us of the ad-
ventures of the pioneer voyagerS of the olden
time rather than modern business journey.
The postal arrangements for this line contem-
plates letter postage of three cents, but ex
cludes newspapers from the mail.

The FEMALE SwINDLER.-The police are
making efforts to arrest noted female swind-
Ter, known throughout the land. Rev. Mr..
Hutter, of Philadelphia is among her victims.
Judge Johnston, of Texas, suffered depletion
of $3.50 at the hands of the adrot woman.
Forged drafts, forged title-deeds, and a smooth
tongue effected the pecuniary drain upon the
pletboric pockets of the usually sharp Judge.
From Texas she went to California and prlac
ticed several successful swindles in the god
en-gated city. VIM. Franklin, one of the
heaviest lumber dealers in San Francisco, is
her heaviest victim, he having been induced
TO part with So, 900 in gold in exchange for
worthless drafts. Several Baltimoreans have
also been swindled by her.

DECLARED UNcoSsFITUTIoNAL.-I the case
of the Commonwealth VS.. the Editors of the
sWoIkingmen's Advocate published we be-
lieve, in Schuylkill county, the Court held
that the law of libel of 1856 is unconstitution-
al inasmuch as ssno law can contravene or tran
scend the Constitution of the State. The bill
of Rights, which is part of the Constitution,
fixes the liberty of the press; and declares in
what cases the truth may be given in evidence,
thereby prohibiting it in all other cases. But
the law of 1856 goes further, and allows 1t 10
be given in evidence in all cases. 1t is an al
teration of the Bill of Bights, and therefore
to that extent unconstitutional"
