STARTLING DEvELoPMENr-1tn Abolition Club in
the Cdy.-Yesterday morning Lieutenant Morel, of
the Third District police, upon information re-
ceived, arrested a German named Frenzel who
lives on Chartres street, in the Second District
charging him with being an ineendiary and traitor
to the State and Southern Confsderaey. 1tappears
that Frenzel, who is quite an Intelligent man. had
excited Lieutenant Morel's suspicious some time
since by remarks that he was reported to have
made in favor of Lincoln and his dynasty he was
watched closely, the result of which was that he
heard to boast that there was a powerful
organization in this city-at least 5000 strong
which, the moment that the Lincoln army made its
appearance here or on our coast, would rise and
help them to the best of their ability.
He further is reported to have said that his So
ciety would help cut all the rebels throats, and
that as no one knew suspected its existence, it
was all the more powerful FrenZel is now con-
fined in the Third District lockup and will have
hearing before Recorder Long to-day. We think
that this affair needs the closest scrutiny, and
should not be allowed to rest until all the facts are
brought to light. Our citizens must remember
that the security of their families and all that they
hold dear is endangered by such a conspiracy.
DEAD,--Mr. Coleman w. Stewart, who was shot
at O'Clock on Wednesday by Norman White, in
atfray ST. Charles street. died that night at 81
O'Clock, at the Charity Hospital, from the effects
of his wounds. Yesterday morning DR.. .Berthelot,
City Physician, made post mortem examination
of the body, when it was given up to his friends.

| RAILROAD 10 JEFFERSON CITY.-As may be seen
by reference to advertising columns, subscrip-
tions being called for to the capital stock of a
| company which intends laying down the track of a
| railroad to connect with the Camp and Magazine
| street city roads, and extend to Jefferson City.
| The company has already secured the contract to
lay the road from the City Council of Jefferson
/ City for twenty-five years, and they are allowed
| twelve months to finish it. To our mind, this will
prove most profitable way to invest money, as
| the stock will undoubtedly be at premium in a
month after the road is in operation, and continue
to improve the fine properties of that village are
| improved, as they surely will when this easy anG
agreeable mode of access to them is offered. The
| books are open at the office of Messrs. II. NJ Val
