The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-04-17

The EVENING PosT of New York is indignant that
citizens should be found in New York who are op-
posed to fanaticism and oppression. We clip from
it the following:
Is there Treason in Nelo York.-We hear on good
authority that there is treason and disaifecton in
the departments of the federal government in this
city.
There are disaffected men in the service of the
government in the bureaus of the Naval Officer and
the Surveyor.
They do not hesitate to praise the conduct of the
cowardly rebels who attacked Sumter with odds
of one hundred against one, and so derde the gov
ernment for its declaration that rebellion shall be
punished and the laws be enforced
While these offices remain untitled these trea-
sopable utterances gain ground. Let the govern
ment purge its departments of traitors by appoint
ing new officers. The Surveyors office, the Naval
Officers bureau, the Marshalship of this city, at
this terrible crisis, need to be hlled with patrlots
not with traitors.
The Post also abuses the Daily Nctcs for declar-
ing that the President should not be supported in
this unholy cause 1t then gu otes from the Neios
.'What then, in this dreadful emergency should
Northern citizens do, especially those who are not
abolitoniss, who love peace, and desire, If posi-
BILE, reconstruction of the Union? Civil war is

no sympathy support should be given the Ad-
ministration in its prosecution.

threats of Helper and his endorsers. The hepuoll-

| S4ocK1SG TRAGEDY-A Saictde and Attempted
| Uurder-Last evening, about eight o'clock, Peter
| Gbeen, a resident of West Philadelphia, attempted
| to murder his wife by stabbing her, and then fol-
lowed the attempt up with cutting his own throat
in such manner as to cause death in few min
utes. 1t was the old story. Gheen, who is young
! man of about 28 years of age, has been married
about one year, during which time he has quar-
relied with his wife, his jealous disposition leading
him to entertain unfounded belief in regard tt
her conduct. Last evening the two left their resi-
dence in Oak street, Forty third, and started
to visit friend. When near Logan and Marke
streets, the old quarrel was again revived, ant
upon Mrs. Gheen repudiating some OF the charges
preferred against her, Gheen drew his pen-knif
and plunged it twice into the abdomen OF his wlle
Without waiting to ascertain the effect OF the oloW

across his throat, inficting terrible w9unu. - u
