GaribaIdi,

The news from Europe is important Vic
tor Emanuel, King of Sardinia has formally
accepted the sovereignty of Naples" and
Garibaldi has resigned the dictatorship, laid
down his sword, and returned to his "island
home to enjoy the quietude Of private life.
The Italian war, then, We Suppose, is ended !;
for Garibaldi would hardly lay down his
sword, IL it were considered necessary by
Sardinia, TO carry Che war any further
There were those who thought that to carry
out the idea Of union of all the Italian
States, Garibaldi would attack Venetia, ruled
by Austrian power. There was so much
grandeur in the progress of his arms, and in
the idea of free and united Italy," that it
was doubtful when the war would cease );
and some imagined him as already coping
with Austria, in Venetia. He might by the
force of circumstances, have been brought
into a conflict with Austria. but this was an
event which it was the policy of France and
Sardinia to stave Off But why think Of
what more might have been done, when we
see what has already been done, under the
leadership of a man who, a short time ago,
went to Sicily with few followers, q mere ad
venturer, as it were, to assert the freedom of
two millious and half of people. They went
poorly armed, but they went to conquer
The courage, enthusiasm, and devotion of
the soldiers, and the courage and genius of
the commander, were invincible. If the
world looked with surprise at the invasion of
Sicily, it was astonished at tie result of the
movement. 1t saw the power of Naples in
the island broken up. 1t then saw Naples
itself attacked, and now it has seen Naples
fall, and pass under the rule of another and a
better king, and it sees the warrior lay down
his conquering sword, and retire to private
life. What a character does he present to
MS! He has conquered, for others not for
himself With the power to possess wealth.
he remains poor-in the midst of his tri
umphs, he denied to himself any comfort that
the commonest soldier did not possess-now
washing with his own hands his flannel shirt,
the only one that he had, then directing the
for an attack upon the enemy. 1t
is the absence of all selfshness, the desire for
the good of Others, combined with his genius,
which will give him a bright and undying
name in history.

ELECTION RIor AT NEwFoUSpLAHD.-At
HarbOr Grace, New Foundland, says a tele-
graphic dispatch to the St. Johns Daily News
the occasion being the election of a member
of the Island Parliament, a mob collected at
half-past seven o'clock in the evening, and
commenced operations by tearing down the
telegraph line. They then paraded the town,
insulting every person they met, hooting,
yelling, etc, till they came to the the Yves,
leyan chapel, where the congregation were
assembled at their devotions. They pc elted
stones at the windows, and then returned to
town, where they kept up their performance
till late hour.
The next morning, Mr.. Higgings was put
in nomination as a candidate, and shortly af
ter, the mob-numbering about 500 of what
are known there as the "River Head BOYS, "
and other rufians-proceeded to Mr. Hig-
gings' house, which they surrounded, and
brought him out. They made use of the most
awful threats to himself, family and property,
if he would not come at once and resign,
which he was compelled to do, and Prender-
gast, the government nominee, was therefore
declared duly elected This Prendergast was
returned in a similar manner last year, when
his seat was declared void by the House Of
Assembly.

TERRIBLE MURDER.-One of the most
brutal murders that we have ever recorded
occurred on Saturday night, in this city. A
young mulatto girl who for the past two
years has been living as a domestic in the
house of MIR. f. A. Woodwork, on Haw-
thorpe street, between Folsom and Harrison,
was killed by her affianced husband The
mans name is John Clarkson. He has been
engaged ia the capacity of cook on board
the steamer Cbrysopolis. On the evening in
question. Clarkson went to the house to see
the girl, and going to the kitchen, found two
other colored men in conversation with his
victim. Suddenly he drew from his pocket
razor, and seizing the girl, cut a terrible
cash on her jaw The wound extended from
the ear to the corner of the mouth. and laid
bare the teeth. Not satisfied With this, the
murderer changed his position and inflicted
another horrible cut on the side of the neck.
This wound severed the jugular vein, and, in
fact, almost decapitated the body. The girl
broke away from the fiend, and, gaining the
street ran about two blocks, when she fell
and Immediately expired. Clarkson was
arrested, and taken to the station house
When locked up, lie expressed the utmost
indifference for the act, and said he was
sorry he had not disposed of one of the men
present in the same. way. The probable
cause for the deed was jealousy. Yesterday,
the body Of the girl was taken from the
dead-house by her friends, and will be in.
TERED to-day Her name was Caroline F.
Park, and she is spoken of as being remark
ably intelligent and handsome-SGn Fran

How they Defy Law and Secure Justice
nj Pixies Peak.

The Denver papers are burdened with
accounts OF an excitement OF purely local
character, which has lately occurred there,
the particulars of which are as follows:
1t seems that Mr.. Goldrick, correspondent
of the Missouri Democrat, writing over the
signature of Observer" had written some-
thing which incensed Mr. Mcclure POST
Master at Denver, and Chief Justice under
the Provisional Government Mcclure being
very much of bully, and Goldrick very
much of coward, the former took sundrv
occasions to browbeat and intimidute the
latter, compelling him to sign a humilialing
card of retractiun.
1t should be mentioned that the people of
Denver, some time since, with almost entire
unanimity, organized city government,
elected a board Of officers and enacted code
of laws which were ratified at the ballotboX.
To resume, McClures menaces and bully
ing became so unbearable to Goldrick, that
the latter caused him to be arrested, and
brought before the Police Court. Mcclure
denied the jurisdiction of the Court, and its
right to hold him in custody. He was, how
ever examined, and ordered to give bonds
in the sum of 81, 900 to keep the peace. This
he declined to do, offering at the same time,
to give bond to Go1rick personally, to
keep the peace towards him.
Mcclure was placed under guard on Fri
day evening. the ID ult, but on the same
night he was rescued by his friends the
roughs' Matters ran along until the fol
lowing Monday, when the people became
very much aroused, and collected in mass
meeting of 1900 men, when, after consider
able violent talk, it was voted that the law
should be enforced-that Mcclure should be
compelled to give the bond or be banished
from the city, on pain of hanging if he re-
fused to leave. Upon the adjournment of
the meeting, the Marshal called upon the
citizens to act as his posse, which demand
large number of them Immediately complied
with. After some search, Mcclure was final
ly found in West Denver, and apprehensive
of danger to himself, he requested ten min
utes for consideration, at the end of which
time he signed the required bond, and order
reigned" in Denver.
