The Double Homicide =.

The Cincinnati papers furnish the par
ticulars of the murder, on Saturday, at
the village of Darrtown, situated about
nine miles from Hamilton, in Butler
county, Ohio From the preliminary ex-
animation of the murderer, it appears
that about noon Saturday, Sylvester Ir-
win, a single man about thirty years old,
living with his father, John Irwin, near
Darrtown, came in from blowing In
passing about the house, some girls, from
an upper story window, spat down upon
him. This excited his anger, and he de-
manded of his father, at the barn, wheth-
or or not he countenanced such actions;
Hard words followed, when the step
mother, Jane Irwin, ran out out of her
house down to the barn, with carving
knife, and rushed towards Sylvester. who
drew a pistol. The father, John Irwin,
seized hatchst, and stepped iu between
his wife aud son, evidently to protect
both, being proverbial for his peaceable
disposition The son then fired at the
father, the ball entering the forehead,
and causing instant death. He then
fired at Mrs Irwin. the ball entering the
right breast Sylvester then noticing
that his last shot had not performed its
mission of instant death, seized knife
and cut her throat from ear to ear, and
with club beat her head. She only
lived twenty minutes. Sylvester then
fled. but was arrested in Hamilton as he
was making for the train. He had on
his person a revolver and seventy-five
dollars in money.

military interference, to the extent con-
templated by Governor Bramlette-that
of protecting thecivil officers OF the Gov
ernmeat when called upon-wonld have
been eminently just and proper But
not content with this, it was determiued
by those who had control of affairs on
the anti-slavery side to make mockery
of the election-to tranple under loot all
laws, State aud national, and carry the
day by coup de main upon the ballot
box They found out before long that in
heating furnace for their foes, they had
singed themselves Some of the best
anti-slavery men in the city of Lexing-
ton seeing how matters were being con-
dncted declined TO vote at ALL and 9th
ers, to rebuke such lawlessness, voted
against their principles, aud i'll favor OF
the conservative ticket This know to
be fact.
The result of the election was All over
whelming defeat of the radical ticket in
this dstrict-attribntab to variety OF
causes, chief among which was the late
order OF General Palmer, for the issue OF
passes to such negroes as choose to apply
for them, which seems to have had no
other effect than to fill the city and all
the adjacent towns with colored va
grants. 1t is true the pass is ostensibly
given to the negro to authorize him to
look for employment, but the nnsOphis
ticated negro regards it as title deed
to perennial leisure, and doesn't trouble
himself about work while he can draw
Government rations, and bask in August
sunshine, none daring to mOlest him or
make him afraid
Another cause of failure was the bad
management of the campaign Oh the
radical ticket. There were scarcely any
efforts made to inform the minds of the
people upon the issue pending, through
the instrumentality of popular speakers
and large meetings. The Congressional
candidates debated at different points,
but General Fry had an unfortunate way
of increasing Shanklin's vote every time
he spoke. Then came tho prescription
to cap the climax of folly and madness,
and to give the Conservative ticket a
majority of about 5000

General Grant on the Mexican 4"es-
tion-MaximilianM Must Depart-Our
Relations with England.

New YORK, August l0.-A Quebec dis,
patch says: While here General Grant
spoke without reserve to several persons
on the Mexican question. He said that
he had placed one hundred Thousand men
on the Rio Grande as an army OF obser-
vation and that the French would have
to leave Mexico peaceably if they
chose, but forcibly if they refused
The situation of Mexico he looked upon
az one which had been created by tho re
bellion, and the rebellion would really
not be overcome until MaXimilian was
compelled to depart and the Mexican peo-
pie allowed to organize Government
without foreign interference.
With regard to the relations betweea
the United States and England, he did
not think the present friendly state would
be disturbed unless complications ensned
by reason of England's mixing herself up
with France in the Mexican question.

NEW YORK, August l0.-The Herald's
Washington special says: We have ascer-
tanned from official sources that on the
first day of last May there were one mil
lion and fifty thousand men enrolled In
the army and on the pay rolls. Since
that date there have been discharged
little over seven hundred Thousand,
leaving in round numbers abOnt three
hundred and thirty thousand still in the
army and on the pay rolls. Ofthe num-
ber discharged about three hundred
thousand arc now EN- rOute and at their
several rendezvous to be paid off and
mustered out. The funds sufficient to
meet tlis demand are i'll the hands OF
paymasters, and are being paid out as
fast as possible The Others who have
been discharged, over four hundred
thousand, have been fully paid of and
mustered out. The rapidity with which
this part of the work is performed
NAV be inferred from the fact that Off

The reported reconciliation between
General Butler and Admiral Porter is un-
true.
Hon. Alfred Ely, of New York, is in
the city, and report has it that he has
been summoned, together with Major
General Wilcox and General Lee, of Bos-
ton, to testify concerning the treatment
of prisoners before the military commits

pose.
Details of the news from California
state that the loan in behalf of the Mex
lean Republic, which was some time ago
placed in the California market, was be-
ing pushed forward with energy, and was
meeting with considerable success. The
thirty thousand stand of arms purchased
in San Francisco for President Juarez, of
Mexico, several months ago, seized by
our Government authorities and after
wards released, had been again seized on
an attachment for debt against the Mex
lean agent having charge of them. The
