Horrible ss,rGer near Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 11.--A shocking mur-
der was committed last night at l,lk Ridge
bridge, Baltimore county, about eight miles
from Baltimore. David White, siXty.fve
years of age, was attacked in his house hy
two men and beaten to death. His daugh-
ter who was aroused by his cries was also
fatally beaten, and her son, boy of fourteen,
seriously injured. The murdered man was
robbed of his watch and a small sum OF
money, and his daughter also robbed OF for
ty dollars. No arrests have yet been made
BALTIMORE, June 1l-Evening Mrs
Mooney, the daughter of David White, the
gate-keeper at Elk Ridge bridge, on the
Washing ton road, who was murdered at his
house last night, as already reported, will,
it is now thought, recover; but her son, a
boy of fourteen, who was also beaten by the
murderers of his grandfather has suffered a
relapse, and it is thought will die.
Suspicion rests on several notorious par
ties, but at last accounts no arrests had been
made. The murderers are supposed to have

THE GAZETTE AND THE DEMOCRAT.


1t is an old saying, that extremes often
meet, and it should not, therefore, be, sur;
ptising TO find our neighbors of the Gazette
and the Democrat, both occupying position
on the same plank of some underlined plat.
form. The Gazette takes exception to our
remarks in reply to the Democrat denying
the charge that Gen. Geary "endorsed Thatl.
deus Stevens in everything and opposed
johnson in everything" and asserts that the
editor of the Democrat is right. THIS, we
contend is not only not in accordance with
the facts, but if true the endorsement of
such charge, would be exceedingly impoli-
tic, in any friend of Gen. Geary, if not un-
just. Unfortunately, the Gazette and the
Democrat, both look at things through the
same narrow vision Of party, and like all
other extremists, both are frequently found
wandering on the verge of truth in order to
appear consistent with party tactics. Thad-
deus Stevens of the House of Representa-
tives, and Mr.. Sumner of the Senate, are
both men of talent, but both entertain ex-
tremely radical views, which the Union par
ty in Congress have not only refused to en-.
dorse, but have ignored by decided vote
on several occasions. Mr.. Stevens is aware
that his party does not sustain him in his
ultra opinions, and frankly acknowledged
that they did not endorse him, and should
not he held responsible for his views
During the last campaign, Judge Black
IN speech at Williamsport labored hare
to create the impression that the extrem,
views of Thaddeus Stevens constituted III,
platform of the Union party. All the pa
pers o. his party reiterated the charge
though every intelligent man knew it to b
untrue The late vote in Congress, on Mr.
Stevens amendment, giving the right o
Suffrage to negroes, should be conclusive o,
TINS subject. Out of nearly 1870 Union vote
only 30 voted to sustain his amendment
intelligent men no longer believe in the in
1alli1iiity of individuals or of party, wheth
or secular or ecclesiastical. When th
gazette undertakes to criticise our com
ments, it should be careful no. to get into
muddle itself Had the Gazette stated tha
Gen. Geary endorsed, generally, the recon
struction policy of Congress, which is no
the policy OF Thaddeus Stevens, but of hi
party who over-rued him, we should no
complain, but when it asserts that Thaddeu
Stevens is Congress, which it virtually doe.
and that Gen. Geary endorses Thaddeu
Stevens in all his views, and thus play int
the hands Of the opponents of Gen. Gear,
we beg leave, with the great body of Il,
Union party, to dissent from doctrines 9
repugnant to the intelligence and patriotisl
oil oil good Union men and Republicans.

Mr. Shea, one of the counsel of jefferson
Davis, to-day made a motion before Judge
Underwood, in Chambers, in order to test
the jurisdiction of the Courts in Virginia,
involving the power to hold the prisoner to
bail. it being judicia! question, with which
the President has nothing to do.
1t is stated that Judge Underwood ey-
pressed the opinion, which has always been
insisted upon by Chief Justice Chase, that so
long as martial law or military surveillance
was inforccd in Virginia, the courts were a
mere adjunct and used in aid of the military
power.
Mr. O'Connor, the senior counsel of Mr..
Davis was present with Attorney General
Speed, and TX Governor Pratt was among
the auditors.
Judge Underwood declined to exercise his
power to issue writ of habeas corpus to
bring the prisoner before his Court until he
hud received from the President relinquish-
meut Of the accused to the power of the civil
authorities. Mr.. Davis being now a prisoner
of war Judge Underwood reduced his
opinions to writing, which, having been
given to the counsel, was taken TO the Pres
idcnt 10y Mr.. O'ConnOr All further action

counsel, that no application was made by

to bail.
Within the last two days Mr.. Davis
friends, professional and otherwise, have had
free access to him at Fortress Monroe.
The passage of the resolution of the House
to-day, declaring that in its opinion Davis
! should he kept in confinement until tried
| according to the laws Of the land, was super
induced 10y an apprehension that he woult
be hailed, as many members of Congress had
been led to believe from previous represen'

General Lee says he does not make much
progress in his history of the war, because
so many of his papers are lost When to
this affection is added the failure of his
memory, so distressingly exhibited in his
examination by the congressional commit
tee, there would seem to be little hope that
an accurate history even of the Confederate
side can be expected from General Lee.
Governor Hamilton, of Texas, spoke the
literal truth when he told the people at
Austin that they were not friends of the
President, and that they only supported
him in the hope that by their fattery he
would be induced to give them the means
OF regaining the power they forfeited by the
rebellion.
