LATEST NEWS.

BY TELEGRAPH
TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY

ST. LOUIS, March 20.-Hon. Edward Bates
has addressed a letter TO the Missouri dele
gates to the Chicago convention, in reply to
interrogations propOunded to him by them.
1t will appear in the Democrat of tomorrow.
The main points of it are as follows -
He has no new opinions upon the subject of
the extension Of slavery, and has formed none
with reference to the present array of parties.
His views are cOeval with the Missouri ques-
tion of 1870. He formed his opinions then and
has not changed them since AT the time of
the revolution, and long after, slavery was re-
garded as an evil, but temporary in its nature,
and likely to disappear in the course of time.
While 1t continued, it was a misfortune to the
country, socially and politically. Slavery is a
social relation, a domestic institution. 1t ex-
lists by local laws. The federal government
has no control over it, in the states but the
territories are subject and subordinate to the
government, they not being supreme like the
states. The nation is supreme over them
He is opposed to the extension of slavery,
and, in his opinion, the policy and spirit
OF the general government ought to be
against slavery extension. The constr
tuition does not carry slavery into the terrific
rles, nor anywhere else. 1t only acts upon it
where it is established by local law. The
Dred Scott decision only decides that Dred
Scott was not citizen, and the opinions of the
judges beyond this are extrajudicial and Of
no authority. The questions discussed by
them were political, not within their cogniz-
ance, and belong to and could be disposed of
only by the political departments of the gov
ernment. The discussion was most untortu-
nate as it produced dangerous conflict be.
tween the coordinate branches of the govern
ment.
He favors the colonization of the free blacks
in the American tropics, the homestead bill,
the immediate admission of Kansas, perfect
equality of rights among citizens, and the con-
struction OF the Pacific railroad under the aus
pices of government.
He is gratitied that his name has only been
used in spirit of harmony and peace, and to
prevent division and controversy among those
who ought to be united. He has neither
sought nor held any political office for 20
y ears, and is satisfied with the honors already
paid by the public

The punch bowls are unequalled; they seemed

tapped their ample sides with our knuckles. Among
the oddities, which countless, we saw one dish
in the shape of duck. By raising the ingeniously

delicacies the most fastidous taste could suggest.
On the same principle, there was also dish

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE IN PENNsYLyANuA.-0n Sun.
day night last series of the most barbarous cruel
ties were inflicted upon Mrs. Riday, residing in Ok
ford borough, Chester county. On Monday night
previous the house had been entered. Mira. Riday
waking up, alarmed the burglars, and put them to
flight. On Sunday night last, Mr.. Riday went to
church and left his brother ut home to take charge
Of the family but his brother also started away,
and shortly after, about halfpast o'clock, man
entered and asked if she knew him. She looked ut
him and saw that he wore q tomahawk breastpin,
and from that recognized him as one Of the bur
glars who had been there on Monday night. He
have got all away Mrs. Riday then ran toward
the door: he caught her; locked the door; thrust
the key in her mouth; but finding that the key
would not gag her. he also thrust the burning can.
die in, which seriously burned thesr Of her
mouth. He then tied her on q chair, with both
hands behind her; kicked her In the side several
times slapped her on each side of the face to
straighten her head up, then taking handkerchief
from under her apron made use of 1t in fastening
her head back to the chair.
Taking up grddle which was on the stove, he
spat upon it, to if it was hot, and placed it upon
her bare breast, which burned part of the flesh to
crisp. He then tied her feet on the baking plate
of the stove. After sprinking turpentine over her
dress, and placing candle behind her, so that her
clothing might catch fire, and while in the midst of
| other acts too horrible and indecent to mention,
man at the door cried yes, yes" as if to signify
the approach Of some one, when they both left
locking the door after them. Shortly after, the
children, who had been up stairs, came down, and
moved their mother from the stove. An alarm was
given; the door was broken open, and in few
minutes there was large number of people pres
ent. Yesterday, Mrs. Riday was not expected to
liye her limbs, feet, breast and mouth being burnt
in many places to crisp. These and other inju-
res of far more serious nature, render her recov
cry almost impossible. She described the demon
like perpetrator as tall thin man, with heavy
whiskers, inclined to gray, and would recognize
him if brought before her. Several have been ar
