ing. Theie was no evidence Of drowning
The body was kept several days for idsnti
fication, but was finally buried. 1t havin,
transpired from the conversation of the par
ties that they came from Rockford, Ills.
letters were written and papers sent there
making inquiries, the country in the mean
time being secured to find the murderers
In the mean time brother of the Cir
accompanied by an officer, came on from
Rock ford and identified the clothing and
efforts of deceased as belonging to Laura
Harvey. They also identified the men
she WIS travelling with from descriptions oil
those who saw them here.
The excitement continued. Rewards were
offered. Parties made long journeys in
every direction in search. McComb was
tracked, it was believed, to Iowa City, where
he sold the team and harness. thence to
Rockford, and thence to Beloit, Wis, where
the trall was lost. Nothing was heard OF
Lawrence until some four m ,nths after the
murder, when skeleton Of man and some
clothing were accidentally discovered in a
deep ravine on Copperas Greek, about three
miles east of here, which were identified as
belonging to Lawrence. Such was the YER.
dict of a coroner's Jury, and the conviction
Of the community. The discovery was re.
g,rded as furnishing an important link in
the testimony in regard TO this dark tragedy,
and the conviction obtained that McComb
had the guilt on his soul of double murder.
And thus the matter has stood until the
arrest of this man at Davenport. Reports
were received every little while Of the dis.
covery of McComb at some distant point,
but nothing ever came of it.
Whether the man in our Jail ia the Nc
Comb for whom so protracted search has
been made, and if 40 whether he is guilty Of
the double crime charged against him. which
the whole history Of the transaction and
parties render so nearly If not entirely Ger.
tain, it will devolve upon the law to deter.
mine. There we leave it.

Chronicle commenting on this says There
are some faint suspicious that this fete may
be designed as political affair, looking to the
nomination of General Mcclellan, by the
stCopperheads, for the next Presidency. If
so, it must prove dead failure. Hundreds OF
the invitations have been gratuitously distrlbu-
ted, which would indicate that there are libe-
raj hands and full purse somewhere IN the
back ground. The sovereign, loyal element
the masses-of our city and state, think only
at present Of Abraham Lincoln, or if he will
not serve, Mr.. Chase, for the next Presi-
dency"
The intercepted Lamar correspondence tele-
graphed from Washington to the Northern
press, is looked upon by the New York News
as doubtful, and that paper says :"Ifa forge

is, the torger ought to be prosecuted for doing
his work in so bingling manner.
