A HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE.-The quiet of
our usually well-behaved village was on Tues
day night last the scene of fragrant outrage
such as seldom falls to tho lot OF small coun
try place like ours. On that night, between
the hours of eleven and twelve, four persons
went TO the house of Mr.. X. S. Orne and rap
ped at his door. He was in bed at the time,
but had light and was reading. lie arose,
slipped on his pants and went to the door
Whenhc opened the door the light was knock
ed out Of his hands, and some one Of the ruff
fans dealt him blow in the face with what
he supposes was slung shot. They then
seized him by the hair, dragged him out Of
doors, slipped a rope round his neck and
choked him badly, but he succeeded in break
ing it, when he breathed freer again. Dur
ing the first Of the melee however, Mr. Orne
informs us that he struggled so as to drag
them into the house, but they succeeded in
dragging him out again, and hauled him over
the frozen ground to the lot in the rear of the
Baptist church near by. The rope was again
put around his neck, with which they strang-
led him badly and while one was endeayoring
TO gouge out his eyes with thumb, another
jumped upon his stomach and stamped with
the feet, hurting him severely though not
dangerously, besides offering him other shame
full indgnites.
Mr. Orno identifies two of his assailants as
Mr., T.. q. Scribner, and Samuel Scribner, his
son, though we shall probably be able TO give
the facts with more accuracy when they shall
have had preliminary trial, and Mr.. Orno
is able to attend court
About noon on Wednesday the Scribners
were arrested by deputy sheriff Bean and
lodged in Jail.
What particular reasons those who COM
mitted this outrage upon Mr.. Orne had, we
are not appraised other than bad state Of
feeling has existed between him and certain
persons for long time, and they we're brave
enough to vent their spite upon him in this
manner by going to his house in pairs at
midnig ht-irasburgh Standard.

on Friday, March gath, and carried to Bel

they were released on that charge and were

had distracted therefrom a check drawn in
Boston to the order of James Sherwin of

the Exchange Bank of Springfield, and had

A LARGE EMnEzzLING OrERArioN.-A
remarkable case Of embclzcmcnt has Just
been brought to light in Philadelphia. The
Le3qer states that young man, who for years
has had charge of the order department of the
gift book establishment Of G.. G. Evans, has
during that time appropriated bis own use
upwards of 100000, which he distracted from
letters received ordering books. On being
charged with the embezllcmcnt the young
man made a clean breast of it, relating how
he got the money and how it was invested.
1t appears that he has been married but few
years, and has lived irugally, attending close
ly to business. The money distracted has
been used in the building Of houses. number
having been built the past year, while others
were contracted for to be built the present
season. The impression was created that the
buildings were for Mr.. Evans, and thus sus-
pcion was disarmed; the houses have all been
given up to Mr. Evans, and their construction
having been managed with due economy, he
will not lose much. This, with the fact that
the young man is in bad state Of health, has
prevenod any public exposure Of the fraud

law now holds clvllly liable for al injuries

DISEASED DEMOCRACY.

The New York Sun, paper which has here
tofore sustained the democracy without why
or a wherefore. and which still holds on to the
Government patronage by virtue, as it says,
of the largest city circulation, is just now in
a bad way. In speaking Of the late election
in New Hampshire, the Sun bewails the sad
position Of the present Democratic party, after
the following fashion 49,
"Mr. Pierce's election was, indeed, the cul-
mination of the glory and the power Of the
Democratic party. Within a year from his
Inauguration, his acts his appointments, and
his policy--if policy he could DE said TO have
unlicensed a complete rcvulsion in She pop

idency. he was sustained by an overwhelming
majority in Congress Before his term closed,
the Republicans had gained a majority in the
popular branch Of the Froderal Legislature.
The misconduct and meanness displayed by
the Administration Democracy, and the AFRO
gance and violence of its Southern friends
during the Kansas Nebraska agitation, COM
pletcly Disguised the Northern people. They
had not only been deceived by the men whom
they placed in power, but the attempt was
made to trample upon them as the spiritless
slaves Of Southron oligarchy.
SO strong was Northern feeling and North
crn resentment in / $50 that the Democratic
Convention which assembled at Cincinnati
found it necessary to put aside all the promin-

isfying themselves of the validity of the docu-
ments offered in evidence, the UNITED STATES would
have been spared from becoming the dupes of
sharpers, and other nations would have had less
reason to complain of injustice having been done
to them. We are at this time on the point of sus-
pending diplomatic relations with Peru, with ref
erence to claim against that government, and
of which it is certainly questionable whether we
have any right to enforce the payment. Mr.. De
OsMA, the Peruvian Minister offers to submit the
matter to the arbitration of Commission similar
to that which has just made its report upon the
claim of the United States and Paraguay Navi-
CATION Company, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that his proposition will be promptly ac
cepted. 1t would not only prove the readiest,
but, in all probability, the most equitable means
of adjusting dispute upon which serious DIFF
ference OF opinion certainly prevails, and which,
if not settled in this manner, may eventually lead
to grave results

Yesterday upon the hearing of the habeds corpus
before his Honor, Judge BARToL, ERASMUS LEVY,
under arrest on the charge of having murdered
FRANKLIN II. NAFF on the night of the Goth of No
vember last, was discharged from custody upon
the testimony Of several male and female memters
of JOIN IIINEsLEy's household who swore posi-
lively that the prisoner (LEyY) passed Inc
night of the goth December, from SIX to
twelve o'clock with them in celebrating the
Christmas season at HINEsLEY' S house, at the
ner of Calvert and Pleasant streets, where LEVY
was a boarder. The STATES ATTORNEY was not
present at the investigation, which was conducted
in his stead by his regular deputy. It will be re-
membered that on the 23d day of May last IVES
LEY WOODWARD was tried for the offence with
which LEVY is now charged. Among the wit
nesses offered by the defence was JOHN MORGAN, an
ex-poceman, who, on his cross-examination,
said he ''saw MUuY, MILLER, Lcy and DIX on the
''corner Of Lovely lane and Calvert street." Next
JOSHUA MULLY was sworn, who testified in chief
that he ''was in Lovely lane with MILLER, DIX and
'ohers, when NAFF was shot. 3 8 Said to

1t viii thus be perceived that MORGAN, who was
one of Mayor SwANNs police, and on duty that
night swore that he saw LEVY within few feet of
the place of the murder, and that MULLY, who was
one of LEWIS party, also testified in the most
direct manner that he LEVY was present when
the shot was fired. Mr.. HNEsLEY's family circle
however, swear that he was with them when the
news was brought in Of NAFF's having been shot,
1t strikes us that there is discrepancy in the
recollection of LEWIS friends, as to his where
about on the night of the 26th December, which,
in the hands of vigilant and conscientious States
officer might be made the basis of an Indictment
for perjury. The manner in which Mr.. MIL
TON WHITNEY has acquitted himself of his
sworn obligations to the State on this occasion
will be better understood perusal of the card
of Marshal KANE, which publish on this page,
and to which we ask especial attention. His con-
duct seems to have been all that could be expected
of an ATTORNEY who had confessed plea of mot
"ruilty' in behalf of the State, in the case Of
Gregory BARRETT, indicted jointly with man
who had been convicted few days before on tes-
timony which was even more conclusive against
the culprit thus acquitted.
