From the Cincinnati Gazette, Sept %.
The shooting of Beach, the actor, st
Chicago, by his wife, appears to have been
an emulation of the Mary Harris attempt
to turn commonplace life into romance
by murder. Beach, it seems, made mar
rage with the woman, and she supple.
mented it with several stronger attach
ments, and finding mates more to her
liking she desired Beach to procure d.
vorce, which he applied for, specifying
causes which were not complimentary to
her character, which thereupon she under
took to redeem by the diversion Of shoot
ing him, thinking that If she could turn
the stain upon her virtue into the crime Of
murder, it could easily be cured, Mary
Harris fashion. So the doctor turned
lighter ailments into fits, because he was
"death on fits." This is one Of the natu-
raj fruits Of the Mary Harris murder and
her acquittal. It is just as good case for
the pathos of counselo over womans wrongs,
and for the BLACKBOARD abuse Of the Wit
nesses and relatives Of the victim. The
parties, including the Judge, who distin-
euished themselves a. the advocates Of
murder In that case, ought to flock to this,
ike other unclean birds to carrion.

Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-Last January Pro-
vost Marshal Baker seized money and notes
in the hands Of T. 7. CAN'T, John How,
and the State Savings Association, amount
ing to over 500, 1000, belonging to Mrs.
Ewell, wife of the rebel General Ewell.
The funds were libeled by the United
States District Attorney, on the ground
that Mrs. Ewell bad equipped rebel regi-
ment at Memphis. By some turn Of the
wheel, President Lincoln was induced to
give her the benefit Of the amnesty pro-
clamation, which Vas set up Is Q pardon
in defence of the proceedings before Judge
Treat, Of the District Court. The District
Attorney and Court held that the amnesty
only released from personal penalties; but
by some manipulation at Washington, the
Attorney General has just issued an order
peremptorily directing the District Attor-
ney to dismiss the suit, and restore the
property to the custody Of the loyal repre-
sentative of the said Mrs. Ewell.

Mr.. MARSHALL has no policy in regard

point blank, to endorse the Presidential
policy Of reconstruction, aad voted down
a resolution that Mr.. JozAsoH desired to
have the Convention adopt. The repudi-

In our Sunday mornings issue were
printed series of questions addressed to
Gen. MARSHALL by number Of gentle
men, members Of the so-called Union par
ty. The questions were as follows:

at once the full right of citizenship, and also
in favor OF making foreigners, who come here

right2
3. Were You affiliated with the movement
to introduce the Maine Liquor Law into this

asking the legislature to pass that lawi Do
You favor prohibitory laws?
8. Are you In favor Of the exemption of the
national bonds from taxation by the States?
4. Are you in favor of protective tariff?
To these Gen. MARSHALL replies, through
the Press, of Tuesday. he commences
by expressing a doubt Of "your attach
ment to the Union party, /" and tells them
they come from the direction of the enc.
mys camp, and says he suspects they are
spies. To the questions propounded, Gen.
MARSHALL returns the following shutting

The negrophilists of the Republican par
ty in Wisconsin having been voted down
in the State Convention, called q mass
Convention at GAINESVILLE, which was held
on Wednesday. There was quite row
between Senator DooIrTTIE's friends and
the negro-worshippers, and the notorious
s. N. BOOTH said the former had no
more right to be there than a copper.
head" Booth reported resolutions, IA
voring negro suffrage, which were adopt
ed. Both parties support the nominees Of
the Convention, but there is evidence of
an irreconcilable split in the party. The
Milwaukee Sentinel of Wednesday, court
eously dismisses Senator DooIITTLR from
the Republican party, and turns him over
to the Democracy. Wequote:
Senator Doolittle has right to hold bis own
views and advocate them. Ii he believes the
friends of universal suffrage in Wisconsin are
them. We hope at Fond du Lac be will speak
his mind with entire freedom Holding, as be
does evidently, that negro suffrage is unwise,
and that this is q white mans government. he
should not hold his peace. But we beg him
to speak for Senator Doolittle. and such other
persons as hold his views, snd rot for the Re.
publicans. That party has n'n yet abandoned
its principles, and don't iInpose to abandon
them, at the bidding Of o. y nan, be he Sena-
tor or President The Democrats win be glad
to hear Mr.. Doolittle aenounce " fanaticism,
and will quote his speech, g they VIII this
letter, with much approval But ifit should
turn out, that the Republican principle Of
equal rights should ever again triumph In this
State or nation, we trust Senator Doolittle win
be in no haste to claim the fruits Of the VIC
tory. If he chooses his associates now on this
question, Let him go with them and share their
fortunes hereafter.

in the restoration Of the South, by order

TEE Press is greatly troubled because
the Democracy endorse the reconstruction
policy Of President JOHNSON, and express
their confidence in his desire to restore
the Union, with the rights of the States
unimpaired. Extracts from various sources
are given to prove that the President has
not broken with the radicals, but the Press
dares not give extracts from the radical
Journals, which conclusively shew they
discard him and all his measures looking
to the pacifcation of the South, and the
establishment of the white man in power
as the governing race in this country. The
idea Of supporting President JOHNSON, and
at the same time of abusing and endeav-
oring to thwart his measures, may suit
the disposition of an ofice-holders organ,
like the Press, but it is eupremely dis
gushing to honorable men Of all parties.

ysntly unflinching determination, regards
the political fact a. complete that the
Union Is restored. he means that the
States shall sesume their former place in
the Union, aad is Aboring to eradicate
every vestiga-of the war. There is no OBJ
stacle in tho way Of entire restoration at
the South. All the obstacles are created
ct the North They are created by these
ssme negro-worshippers who helped to
bring on the war. They now declare that
they will have no peace until they accom-
piish their objects, which are the reduction
Of all the Southern States to territorial
condition ander military governments,
the coniscation of all the property
Of the South for the benefit Of
negroes, and the endowment of
the latter with the right Of suffrage. To
accomplish theseobjects they win not hes
itate to keep the country in ferment for
thirty years But should they attain their
present objects, no one who knows them
| will believe for a moment that they will
be any more ready for peace than now.
They belong to that class, always known
in all ages, bigcted, intolerant, who hav-
ing once obtained power, are never con-
teat to release ,l.eir grasp. They always
ba~e an object yet to be accomplished,
and that object always involves trampling
on tie rights Of those from whom they
have differed In general the motive of
such men is hatred, although they con-
vince themselves, and would have others
believe, that it is love. Such men are ne
oessarily the enemies of peace.
Il is of no use to concede anything to
this class. Aequieecence in their schemes
only embeldens them to further demands.
They win not have peace, and therefore
every true lover of his country is in duty
bound to labor for the extinguishment of
their influence in our national affairs
Unless this is accomplished, the bene6-
cent measures of President JOHNSON will
be thwarted, and the whole country
plunged into sectional discord, if not into
downright anarchy and bloodshed.

Co.npreheasave Policy I'm Regard =
our Material Interests.

The Press alleges that Mr.. RIcE has
issued q proclamation to the people OF
Minnesota, in the form Of an editorial in
the PIoNRxR Of the Goth ult., in which be
promises, If elected Governor, to adopt q
policy which will ensure the building Of all
our railroads in short time. In answer
to which We beg to assure the Press and
the public that Mr.. RIoE does not write
any Of our editorials, nor does he see them
until he gets his paper, and that the srti-
Gle in question was not inspired, written,
OF seen BY him until it ives printed in our
columns.
We stated in the editorial referred to BY
the Press, that if Ar. Bloc wa elected
Governor he would adopt q policy that
would result in the construction of our
public works, and thus raise our lands to
their proper value. That policy Of course
is q personal policy that Mr.. RICE has
conceived, and could carry out if he occa-
pied an official position that would give
him ready hearing with tie capitalists of
the country. The cheerful cooperation OF
the Legislative branch Of the State govern
ment might reasonably be expected in his
efforts to enhance the wealth and general
prosperity Of the State.
Do the people of this State believe that
if Mr.. RICE was elected Governor that he
would sit at ease In bis chair, and content
himself with performing merely the rou-
tine duties of his Office? Or will he, TAX
ing q broad and comprehensive view ofour
needs, undertake to push ahead, foremost
of all the great Pacific Railroad, which will
run through our State, and which will
save nearly one thousand miles in distance
between the two oceans, and make the
State a thoroughfare fe. the commerce OF
the world? The saving Of construction
and of operating one thousand miles OF
railway alone furnishes indisputable evil
dence that this road .cin certainly be buih,
although its completion may be delayed
for many years by our own Indifference,
and the inef6ciency of those whom we
place in charge Of the interests Of the
State. Mr.. RICE, we believe, has the
confidence of the capitalists of the country,
6 and possesses greater power to influence
their aid in our behalf than any other man
in the State, and all our roads viii be
speedily built if he is only at the head Of
affairs. 80,
ernor-one who win scrupulously dis
charge all the details Of his Office, and at
the same time win inaugurate the grand
est measures for q speedy development OF
theycapacities Of the State.
The preposterous idea which the Press
for an electioneering purpose, advances
that Mr.. RIoE has in view another rail-
road loan, is an insult to the understand
inc of every citizen Of the State. The
rsonle have that matter in their own
hands, and neither Mr.. RIcE nor anybody
.,sa viii hazard their reputation BY adj
.;.;no them to incur any further liabilities
IN the shspe of State obligations to be Is
