A BRUTAL AFFAIR IN RICHMOND. "A man
named Edward +. Cooper, living in Richmond,
Va, made an attack upon his wife and son with
a Ratchet, on Monday morning, the 18th inst,
horribly mutlating the former and endeavoring
to strike down the latter, an intelligent lad OF
fifteen. Mrs. Cooper was found in bed bv the
neighbors, watering in her blood. The Dis
patch says that Cooper, after behaving in an ex :
smpiary manner during Sunday, going to church,
GO, came home at night prayed, and commenced
to read the Bible Mrs. Cooper lay awake until
a late hour, noticing her husband, who seemed
to be devoutly engaged over his Bible. when she
fell asleep. About half-past o'clock, when sill
in the house were soundly asleep, Cooper laid
aside bis Bible, and quietly going into al rear
room, armed himself with sharp Ratchet. and
returning, stealthily approached the bedside of
his sleeping wife, and gave her violent blow
near the temple. The lick partially aroused the
sleeping woman, and she gave scream, which
awoke her son, Dorrell, in time to see the mu,-
derouS weapon again descend upon his mothers
head. The lad immediately sprang to his feet
and caught at the arm of His father, when seeing
the Ratchet raised over him, and the blood
sporting from his mothers head he screamed
murder" ct the top of his voice, and ran up the
steps to another room, pursued by bis father,
who made blow at him, and who would have
murdered him but for hearing the door to the
room above open. The poor woman will scarce
" survive her wounds. Cooper was arrested
the next day and committed for trial. His an.
ger was excited against his wife because she re-
fused to sign deed conveying away the house
in which they lived

Court as a witness. He started from home time
enough to reach Stanton at the trial, but ar.

The southern Programme.

The Richmond Examiner, which has hereto
fore disapproved of the action of the Seceders at
Charleston, expresses qualification at their course
in Richmond, and pronounces it calm and judi
cious. If the majority in the Baltimore Oonven-
ton, says the Examiner, are not utterly unwise,
they will admit these delegates from the South
to foil and immediate participation in their
counsels. The Seceders have gone back to their
people and have got the fullest and most distinct
endorsation. But it is not the mere authority
to sit they have got-they have been encouraged
in their position and course. Under these cir
cumstances, continues the Examiner, ''some-
thing must be conceded by the Northern major
ity at Baltimore or the South aoiU be united in
resistance to the nomination which that body
shall make" The Examiner does not explain
what that Something is which must be con-
coded, but we presume in intends that Douglas
shall abandon Squatter- Sovereignty, or the ma
jority at Baltimore abandon him, or the South
abandon both and set up for itself.

Mr.. EvERETT's MOUNT VERNON LABoRs. To
aid the ladies of the United States in their noble
design of purchasing Mount Vernon, to be con-
secrated in all times as the shrine of the Hottest
patriotism and most exalted virtue, Mr.. Everett
began In 1866 to deliver his eloquent discourse
on Washington. All parts of the Union, except
the Southwestern and Lake States, have had the
qualification of listening to this generous CO.
laborer and gifted orator. These States also he
had promised himself the pleasure of visiting at
no distant period.
In the numerous and long journeys which the
delivery of the address required, Mr.. Everett
bore his own expenses, and on no occasion ap-
propriated to his own use the smallest part of
the receipts from his indefatigable exertions.-
His motive was the purest patriotism, untainted
with the slightest selfshness.
The whole amount gathered by him for the
Mount Vernon fund.- is S68, 1886. In this sum
Is Included the 10000 paid to him by Mr.. Bon
ner, OF the Neao York Ledger, for ftty-two es-
says for publication in that journal-for even
this Hult OF bis literary requirements he chose to
devote to the great object he has SO much at
heart. During the same time he delivered MANY
dlscourses for the benefit OF various charitable
or learned institutions. The proceeds of the
latter, added to the former, fall little short of
ninety thousand dollars, accruing from his de-
gotlon to the renown OF Washington or to his
deep sentiment of beneyolence
We know of no instance of such laborions
liberal and disinterested effort. A man of wealth
an accomplished scholar, and surrounded with
all the charms OF literary ease, OF oongenial as
scclates and the comforts Of home, Quits them
all to prosecute his benifcent purpose. He ia
st.syed neither by distances nor by the perils or
discomforts of travel. All yield to his great
task, bis labor of love. But, rich is the reward
Of Of these sacrifices, whether in securing Mount
vernon as the Mecca of Americans, in the pro-
motion OF benevolent associations, or in ditfusine

IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.-The overland mai

news; first, the settlement of the dispute be-

ceding to all the demands made upon them, ano
second, the reported death by assassination Of
the Tycoon, or temporal Emperor of Japan. Il
will be recoected that when the coming Of the

party was reported to exist in Japan opposed to
this and all other intercourse with the outer
world. This party have now obtained power
through the assassination Of the Emperor and
the Inauguration of dynasty liz favor of their
ola system of seclusion. Another party, in favor

and an Instruction momentarily expected
The news must naturally be unpleasant and en-
| barassing to the Embassy, and may interfere
with their present movements here as well as
render return to their country dangerous. If
the antl-intercourse party should finally estab-
sh their power, all the two sworded dignitaries
OF the Embassy. even down to innocent and Vi
Vaclous little Tommy, may be required to dis
embowel themselves as an expiation for having
lett the empire and become dishonored by inter-
course with the outside barbarians. The news
mas properly been withheld from the Embassy
unit! some further confirmation of its truth is
ootainec, and the members of the Naval Com
mission express some doubts as to its entire
correctness.
~ Late intelligence contradicts both of the
above items of news. China, it is now said. had
rejected all the English overtures, and a resump-
ton OF hostillties was inevitable; and Minister
OF State, not the Tycoon, had been assassinated
in Japan.
