A Shocking and Unnatural Crime---A Child
Burned by it's Mother!

The Chenango American, published at Ge-
neva, n. T., gives the particulars of shock
ing and unnatural crime that was committed
about two miles south of that village on Fri
day, the 9th inst. The facts were elected upon
an Investigation had before Justice Reynolds,
Of Geneva on Tuesday last 1t seems that
Julia Ann Cady, married woman, is the
mother of a bastard child, born before her mar
riage with Cady She is woman of very an
prepossessiLg appearance, and is low, de-
graded being She has repeatedly threatened
the life of the child, a girl about four years
old. About noon on Friday, 9th inst, the
mother aud child were alone in the house ; the
mother took pail and went to the neighbors,
osteGsibly to procure pail of water. While
there her house was discovered to be on fire
Upon the neighbors assembling, the fire was
found to proceed from the bed, and was speed
lily extngushed. The child was found ont
DOORS badly burned, especially about the arms
and head. The mother accounted for the fact
by saying that some of the neighbors must have
put her on the bed and set the bed on fire
This unreasonable statement, added to the fact
that the child's burns did not correspond with
having been burned in the bed aud that it had
on a sack gown which covered portion of the
burns, and which gown was not burned at all
excited suspicion that the woman herself was
the cause Of the burning whereupon her ar
rest was caused on charge of assault with
intent to kill. From the chi1'S own state
mept and from the evidence adduced and cir
cumstahces developed, it appears that the fend-
ish woman stripped the child Of its clothing
and put u head foremost tnto The store, holding
il there until she supposed it dead then put
ting on it the sack gown, she placed it in the
bed and set the bed on fire. and went to the
neghbors. The child, however, recovered itself
so far as to escape from the bed and out of
DOORS where it was found The child is serious
ly and perhaps fatally burned its face being
complete blister. Mrs. Cady has been commit
ed to jail to await the action Of the Grand
Jury.

AN Exposure OF SENATORIAL LoGRoLLIXG
IN PRosPECr.-The Houmas Land Grant spec
ulation which our readers may have seen men,
toned in the Congressional proceedings, is, if
the truth is told of it, one of the most bare
faced swindles on record. Twenty years ago
Senator Slidell and others bought up the
Houmas Grant, as it was called, some 90, 900
acres, embracing some of the incest sugar lands
in louisiana Failing to pay for it, Senator
Bibb, under Tyler, gave Slidell patent for
it, but Congress afterward directed the Attor
ney General to contest the patent, which he
did successfully. Here the matter rested until
last Congress, when Senator Benjamin, of La,
chairman of committee on private land claims.
secretly engrafted upon a genuine Missouri
land claim an amendment confirming the Hou-
mas patent, and the bill was hurried through
both Houses, receiving even the vote of Miles
Taylor the representative of the very people
living on these lands, and who would be swind-
led by the confirmation of the patent 1t will
be brought before the present Congress, if it
ever gets organized, and its iniquity exposed.
