Murderers Convicted

4 second trial of the Doyon brothers in Ma
comb county, Michigan, for the brutal murder
of their sister, has resulted in verdict of muir
der in the second degree. The first trial the ju-
~ failed to agree, and on the second the verdict
would have been murder in the first degree but
for the question of their insanity when the
murder was committed. The case 1t will be
remembered was a most extraordinary one
The brothers and sister came to this country from
Switzerland about twenty years ago. The SIS
ter kept house for them, all three being unmar-
ried. They were very ignorant and supersti-
tious, and after killing heir sister the brothers
performed diaboiical rites over the dead body,
kept the officers who went to arrest them at
bay, tore their house 70 pieces, marched about
in state of undity, and finally fled in the night
claiming that they had killed their victim in
obedience to a command of God. The defence
was insanity. The trial occupied six days.

Uncle Sam under the Buchanan AdmlnistrA'
ton has literally fallen among thieves From
a full treasury he has been plunged into debt
millions upon millions, and if the tavorlte
measures of the President touching Cuba and
Mexico are carried out, there is no guessing
even where his borrowing and Treasury shin
piasters will end
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun has just made public one of the at
tempted robberies of the Treasury connected
with the Oregon and Washington War Debt
1t appears that the whole debt as reported by
the Government agents is s6,OOO,OOO, of which
sum the House Committee on Military Affairs,
on investigation, assert that not more than
about one million is justly due Some OF the
charges by which this difference is made arc
most outrageous. Pistols are charged at $50
elch; muskets at Sl25; oats SIS per bushel; hay
at Sl2O ton; and other things in proportion.
TIE War Department at the last session OF
Congress brought the debt to the notice of the
Committee, and in accordance with the plum
der system of the Administration recommended
its payment. The Military Committee, how
ever. deferred the matter and Investigated the
accounts, and the result probably will be
saving of the very inconsiderable sum in the
eyes of bankrupt administration, of from foul
to five millions of dollars to the public treasury

Cincinnati SONS of AIaI.n

The Cincinnati brotherhood form a numerous
body, and second night parade took place at
10 O'Clock Friday evening. Miles Greenwood
acted as Grand Marshal. The procession was
long and unique, and the streets along its march
were filed with people to witness the strange
DISPLAY. The Grand Commanders were dressed
in scarlet robes, with cooked hats, and red and
yellow plumes; then came about three hundred
members in long white robes and black masks
their waists enclircled With girdles, forming a
spectacle of gbostly solemnity; the Supporters
of the Arcaniculum came next, followed by some
three hundred more members, also in long white
and black masks, a Guard of Honor to the Vice
Grand Officers bringing up the rear. Along the
sides of the procession were eighteen Provost
MarshaIs, dressed in blue silk, with the Maltese
Cross and plumed hats. The Commercial says
"Ihe white surplices of the apprentices magnl-
fed their persons enormously; they looked about
sixteen feet high on an average" &c. Wont
YOU dock about ten feet Mr. G 4! The show must
have been ghostly as Hamlet, for the CONNER
cial thus describes it:
Tramping through the streets with slow and
measured tread, responsive to 'mournful dirges
played BY accompanying bands, they seemed a
cohort of dead men resurrected from the grave,
and doomed to perform expiatOry pilgrimage by
midnight marches upon earth
This evening, oath inst, the Cincinnati Sons
hold grand festival at the National Theatre for
the benefit of the poor. Tickets SIS. The Ga
zetie says;
One attractive feature of the Festival will be,
that at an intermission between the dances, the
floor will be cleared, and the mystic ceremonies

course, this will attract general attention, and

Horse Rail Roads in Cities.

About a month ago we noticed the Inaugura-
ton of breaking ground for Horse Railroad IN
5 ale Street. Chicago. The road has already
Lean finished distance of two blocks, has been
eouiupsd with car, and the Press says nu-
n,erous trial trips are run to the great delecta-
ton of passengers. The argument thus dedu-
ced. though short, is powerful in favor OF the
speedy completion of the enterprise. -
Horse Railroads pay well in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, their stocks
being quoted at high figures, The pioneer
street Railway in Philadelphia, the FrankfOrd
and Southwark, cost 900, yet it is paying
handsome dividends, and the stock is above par.
The Pennsylvania states that the Second end
Third street road cost nearly 100000, and that
the company are doing an immense business
The Fourth and Eleventh street road Is equally
popular and profitable The Spruce and Pine
street. and the West PhiIadelphia road, have
each proved highly prosperous. The roads con-
structed and in progress in Philadelphia embrace
about fifty miles of rail, and the cost will be in
the neighborhood of three million of dollars.
The Horse Railways are found to be accePta-
lie institutions to the masses wherever tested,
c popular prejudiees giving way at once to
,Leir practical utility. They afford cheap, safe,
reliable, regular and frequent opportunities OF
locomotion. and soon become as indispensable

The Winans steamer.

On Thursday last the new and novel iron
Ocean steamship built by the Messrs. Winans,
of Baltimore, made g short excursion trip of
four or five hours, with small party on board.
The performance of the craft is pronounced en-
tirely satisfactory by the Baltimore papers
Though but half the steam power was applied
TO the engines, she made twelve to fourteen
miles an hour. The points of her stem and stern
barely touched the water, and The even progress
of the vessel caused no commotion of the waves,
but left smooth wake like groove. The
builders regard the trial as satisfactory, and a
guarantee of success when greater distance
is attempted.

rha Rurns Centenary.

Tuesday, January 25th, will be notable day
throughout Old Scotia and all lands where
Scottish .'lads and lasses" abound. 1t will be
the centenary anniversary of the birth OF the
worlds Poet, ROBERT BURNS, and its COM
memoration is to be as universal as the Scottish
people. In all the principal cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada the note of prep
aration is heard, and the celebrations will be
conducted with unusual brilIiancy and spirit.
As Burns was emphatically the poet of the
people, all peoples will unite in doing honor to
his memory In this city the Anniversary Fes-
tival will be held at Chapin's Hall, and a rare
treat may be anticipated
The interest felt in the Old World on the
subject ofthe centenary may be seen in the fol-
lowing extract from the Edinburgh correspon-
dence of the Presbyterian. The writer says: :
We are looking forward to the 25th of Jan.
nary as i day of much interest to Scotchmen,
and men with Scotch blood in their veins,
wherever they may be. On that day a hun
dred wears ago Burns first saw light; there
was that morning "bOrn in Kyle" ga lad who
since has placed the old renOwn of Scotland on
a surer foundation, and linked to harmonious
verse, in the language of our grandfathers, SEN
timents that make US proud that we can claim
the author as a cOuntTyman. To US in Scot
land there is no feature of the American char
acter of which we are prouder than your deep
admiration for the genius Of our great national
poet. and it will be an additional and a most
substantial bond to our community of feeling
that we know that when we assemble In the
banquet hall to do honor to his memory, you
too, in gratitude for the gift he gave US, will
have met for a common purpose.
There is to be a magnificent banquet on the
banks of the Doom, which is to be attended by
Prof Aytoun, DR.. McCay, Alexander Smith
and host of literary celebrities of the eOun
try In Edinburgh here, it has been proposed
that Lord Brougham preside at a grand demon

to have such a gathering as has not been seeI

CORY DEFEATED.-During a political cam
paign the eloquent VIM. NJ. Cory, of Cinein-
matt, was invited to speak to a Democratic
gathering up in Logan county. 1t was ar
rangedthat the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton Railroad should carry passengers at hall
fare to the mass meeting. Mr.. Cory neglect
ed to get trip pass, and on his return refused
to pay fare. The conductor on the Dayton
road persisted in collecting, and Cory as posi-
lively declined. Arrived at station, the con-
ductOr elected Mr. c. from the cars after consider
able resistance on the part of the ''Member from
Hamilton" Mr.. Cory brought suit against
the Company for damages for being elected
from the cars, the result of which was verdict
for the defendants. Mr.. c. seems to be an un-
lucky gentleman in law as well as in legisla.

Hard Luck of the Arizona Adventurers.


Last summer party of Cincinnati and Colum-
bus alventurers started with ample equipments
and high hopes to prosecute silver mining in
Arizona Itwould seem, however, that up to
Dec. 22d, they had failed to reach Tubac, and
much less to realize their silvery expectations
"Gov. GRErNER," ofthe Columbus Gazette, wLo
has had some experience we belive in the quick
silver mines of New Mexico, as well as in gov
erning the very intelligent, high minded and
Christian people of our grand and profitable
possessions lying all round about the famous
and fashionable capital known as Santa Fe,in his
last and always excellent paper thus speaks Of
EOur Arizona Boys" and lifts Up his venerable
voice of warning to the infatuated OhiOans who
aare foolish enough TO be led away by the fool
ish stories of rich mines in Arizona, Sonora,
Pixies Peak, &c" Hear and heed the "Gov-
ernor."
Worse luck than we even anticipated, has
uvertaken our Arizona boys, who left here last
June, to try the realities of a romantic silver
mining expedition. From letters dated A
pache Pass, Arizona, December 2Oth, we learn
that the party had Just met win oahu Oh oOV
Indian warriors, bound for Sonora on stealing
expedition; that all supplies had been cut off
between Sonora and Arizona by the Mexican
Government; that the boys considered them
selves in pretty tight place, and were making
their calculations to subsist upon mule meat,
and that they had been digging holes In the
ground in which to make their fires and for
protection from the cold winter winds.
From postscript hastily written on the 22d,
we learn that four of their Mexican drivers had
run off the night before, stealing 10 of the best
horses and mules, with saddles, brides, Provls-
ions, &c, taking the trail towards Sonora, and
some of the boys were out upon the hopeless
chase in pursuit of them. This leaves them IN
avery bad situation, for they have neither AMI
mails nor provisions to sustain them IN Their
long 100 mile journey yet to Tubac-
Their dreams about silver IL the Arizona
mines have long since vanished, and their only
hope is to make their way to California II pos
sibie. When people are foolish enough 10 be
led away with the foolish stories of rich mines
in Arizona, Sonora, Pixies Peak, DC, and choose
to leave Ohio to risk their lives in the most
sterile, heaven forsaken country that ever the
sun shone upon, why, it is well enough for them
to gain wisdom from experience, even II 1t
should be pretty dearly bought

Mnshington InteIligence.

The Tribune's despatch of the goth says:
The report that Messrs. Seward, Hale, Gid
dinrs. Chase, Wade and other distinguished
Republicans, are in favor of the stealing Of
Cuba is a stupid fiction, started In the silly
hope that it will have some political effect at
the North Republicans here all look upon the
Cuban movement as a transparent humbug,
which will result in nothing. The only toun-
dation for the stories about the secret nego-
tiations with the Spanish officials is rumor
that the President is trying to bribe the Gov
ernor- General and the Spanish military COM
napders in Cuba to betray the island into his
hands. This is alleged to be the object of the
thirty millions. But it is also suspected here
that large share of the money, if the President
gets 1t, will be used with the more prospect of
success to carry the next Presidential election.
! Unexpectedly the House had stirring ses-
sion to-day. A bill was pending, reported
/ from the Committee on Public Lands, amend
ing the pre-emption laws, requiring three
/ months residence to secure pre-emption. Mr..
Grow moved his amendment prohibiting any
except actual settlers from purchasing public
lands till ten years after they have been survey
| ed. Half dozen Yeas and Nays were taken
70 evade direct vote upon it, but its friends
voted them down persistently, and at last 1t
was reached and carried by fourteen majority,
every Republican voting Yea. A few Demo
Gratis who had voted for the bill before amend
! ment, now turned against it, and the engross-
ment was defeated by four majority. AmOtiOn
to reconsider is pending
| The hope of Kansas Land Grants this ses-
sion is much less than it was day or two since.
| The Public Land Committee, though majori-
| ty were opposed to Grants, agreed to report a
| bill for the House to vote on, but the promise
was not kept, and. as their right to report has
now ceased till reached again in turn, which
it will not be this session, it is possible that it
NAV not be got before the House for direct
vote The Republicans, with few exceptions,
| are in favor of II. t.s-.--

of ElwOod, Kansas, who went to the mines last

ports, the Elwood Press says, as to the exist
ence and abundance of gold. 1t had been dug
close to their shanty, and paid about So per
