CAUSE FOR GRAr1FIcArrox.-Att the
dinner given to the Russian naval officers
in New York on Mon Jay evening, Hon
James I. Brady presided. One of the
events of the evening was Mr.. Brady's
novel announcement Of his qualification q,
being invited to preside:
This qualification. he said, arose in .
large degree from the fact that in looking
over the names of the committee to whose
indulgence and taste and perseverance
this splendid banquet is attributable, /
did not recognize the name of a single
person who holds any public Office in the

A TIMELY PUBLICATION. - Nessrs
Lloyd and Co. have published in neal
little pamphlet collection Of Presiden,
Lincoln's letters on questions of national
policy, as they have arisen from time 70
time. No better or more effective docu.
ment could possibly be circulated BY the
friends of the Union than this. Mr.. Lin
coin has wonderfully clear and precise
way of stating his opinions on public
topics, and these opinions are SO uniformly
and so distinctly marked by sound COM
mon sense, 6nd by unselfsh devotion to
the public welfare, that they never fail to
carry conviction wherever they are read.
No better answer can possibly be given to
the abuse of President Lincoln than these
letters afford.

HoRRsBLE MURDER In INDIAN.

A correspondent of the Illinois Staat
Zeitung. in letter dated Lafayette, Ind.
Oct. 10th, writes as follows:
For many years past. German BY the
name Of 8 ark, with his family, consist
ing of wife, two grown daughters and
three sons between the ages of sixteen
and twenty four, has resided upon large
| iarm OF over two hundred acres. about
seven miles from Paoli and has not only
by his own industry, acquired large
amount OF property, bu. also, by his
peaceablc, honest and friendly disposition,
secured the COED will Of his neighbors,
who are mostly Americans. This farm
was somewhat isolated. tns nearest dwell
ling being distant from it about mile
aud half THIS made it possible for the
atonhhsbIe deed of which this entire
family were the victims to remain con-
cesled over four and twenty hours Last
Wednesday cattle trader from Salem
went ~ Stark's farm in order to transact
some business with him He was sur
prlsed at not seeing about the grounds
IN the yard the well known faces of any
OF the family. He knocked at the door
and received no answer.
This created suspicion that all was
not right, aud be forced his way into the
house through one of the back windows.
On entering the house, his eye. we're
greeted by a horrible spectacle On the
floor, in pool of half dried blood, Law
the farmer with bis skull terribly shat
tered. Not far from him. on the bed,
lay his wife, also dead and bloody, while
IN different parts Of the house were the
three sons and two daughters, all mar-
dered either with cuts from a knife, or
blows from some blunt instrument. The |
house itself must have been the scene of |
severe combat, since everything movable |
was broken, and throughout the house
traces Of the most terrific violence were
distinctly visible. The horror-struek cat
lie dealer has,ened to the nearest farm
md alarmed the whole neighborhood.-
ln the afternoon the authorities arrived
1t the spot. The most accurate Inquiry
furnished no clue to the perpetrators,
',her than the crime was probably prompt
ID by desire for plunder
This event has of course created an
IMMENSE excitement among the people of
he neighborhood. Every possible exer-
lion Was made 20 discover the murderers,
ou. so far they have not succeeded in de-
Getting the smallest trace of them. The
physicians declare that the act was prob
'bly committed either on Monday night
'r Tuesday. The general opinion i n the
,eighborhood is, that the assassins have
escaped with their booty over the river,
nto Kentucky.
