Confession of the Murderer PrObst.

PHILADELPHIA, May THE EreainS
Telegraph publishes the confession OF
Ppobst After describing the murder OF
the boy Carey, he says The sight of the
boys blood produced in me "A devilish
and bloodthirsty feeling, and | deter
mined at once to murder the whole fam
lily. He disposed of the body of the boy
| as described before, and then deliberately
walked over to the house. He entered
and told Charlie, the little boy next in
years TO Willie, who was absent. he
wanted him to help him do some work in
the barn. The little fellow followed him.
and as soon as he goe him inside of the
barn door be dispatched him with a
small axe he had secured
He then went back to the house and
told Mrs. Deering that there was some
thing the matter with one of the cows,
and he wanted her TO go to the barn.
She went, and he followed, and as soon
as she entered inside he struck her on
the head and killed her He then went
back to the house and brought the chill
dren out, one at time, and taking them
inside the barn, dispatched them, one by
one. with the same axe. In each instance
he cut their throats, and placed their
bodies in the corn-crib just in the posi-
ton they were found. He then covered
the bodies up and proceeded to wipe out
all evidences of his guilt.
He then went back to the house and
awaited the arrival of Mr.. Deering, not
expecting that Miss Dolan would accom-
pany him. AS soon as Mr.. Deering ar
rived in the carriage he got out, and
Probst told him something was wrong
with one of the cows, and asked him to
90 over to the barn with him. Mr.. Deer
ing went along with him, and Miss Dolan
went into the house and took off her bon
net and furs.
Mr.. Deering did not even take off his
gloves before going to the barn, but pro.
ceeded there at once, followed by Probst,
who had the axe concealed ready for use.
AS soon as Mr.. Deering entered the door,
Probst states that he struck him on the
head and felled him to the earth, and
then chopped at his neck with the edge
of the axe. .t1t
Miss Dolan was the next and last vic
tim. She proceeded to the barn after
coming down stairs, and not finding any
of the family in the house, Probst, who
was in waiting for her, treated her as he
had done the rest of the family. After
laying out the bodies, and covering them
up with hay, the murderer went into the
house and commenced searching for val
uables, ~
He states that he got no money, but
to secure considerable amount
He states that Miss Dolan's pocket book
had very little in it. He saw nothing
whatever of the two fifty dollar COM
pound interest notes and twenty dollar
bills of the same character that are miss
ing. BE remained about the house for
so me time, picked up the articles found
in the black valise and left much as
brought out on the trial n fe-r-s.
Probst states that he would have con-
fessed to all the murders before, but he
feared thatif he did 30 he would be torn
to pieces by the mob

PASSED. OF COURSE.


The Metropolitan Police bill has
passed, Of course everybody knew i
would 1t conldn't help it. 1t ran right
through one House and came out at the
other without pausing to take breath,
Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga
have caughtit. Our Recorder has caught
it. Our police have caught it. Every
body will catch it before this Legislature
concludes to 60 home, if they have any
homes. The Radicals will catch it--that
is, the offices. This wind will blow them
great deal of good There is time
enough yet in which to discuss the effect
of the measure. We can only predict
now-and we proceed to predict, that it
will work badly enough for the people,
but charmingly for those who can get no
position from the people. For the first
time in the history of this State, or this
nation, office-holders are thrust upon the
people without their consent For the
first time has an antagonism arisen be-
tween the people and set of irrespon-
sible office-holders This is the Radical
idea of liberty.

COME TO GRIEF.

That pet institution of the Radicals
the Freedmen's Bureau, has come to
grief in North Carolina. A letter from
Newbern to the New York Herald says
A closer investigation, of the state of at
fairs at Newbern has revealed condition
of affairs worse than the bitterest enemy
of the Bureau ever ventured to insinuate.
II appears beyond doubt that at one OF
the freedmen's settlements here cruel
ties more atrocious than those for which
WIRz was hanged have been perpetrated
on the unoffending freedmen by agents
established for their protection. A
preacher is mixed in the affair, and is
said to have perpetrated the devilish
cruelties.

The Negroes Of Hayti-Baby Pot Pie.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald writing from Port su Prince,
makes the following statements, from
which some idea may be formed of the
progress of the negroes in an island
which they have governed for so long a
time
The fact appears to me to be simply
this, that the people are extremely ig-
norant--I will not use hsrsher express
sion-and being in that condition, are
easily made to swallow anything they
are told by the emissaries of Gehrard' s
enemies, who are very numerous. The
hands of the Government are in con-
sequence weak, for it has almost
come to this, that Geffrard has but
little else bnt the army to support him.
A proof of this weakness is evinced by
the conduct of the Government in case
of 0biism, where a party of several per-
sons were discovered at one of their
frightful cannibal orgies, feasting upon
cooked infants. Nothing was done, be-
cause Geffrafd is afraid Z 1t is q great
pity; for il no control be exercised, baby
pie will get TO be more and more extern
sively used and it will be positively I'M
pleasant to travel in that country. Fancy
your correspondent arriving at a hotel,
very hungry and tired, and having dish
Of stewed babies fingers set before him.
An old African once assured me that it
was very nice eating, very tender and
delicate; and he spoke from experience
Nevertheless, would prefer stewed
oysters
The obiism practieed in Jamaica is Of
a different kind, though it has there,
also, its cannibal features; but it is for
the most part confined TO study Of poi
sons for the purpose OF getting rid Of OBJ
noxious individuals, and some Of the Obi
men have a wonderful knowledge Of this
branch Of their profession. Some years
AGO an old Obi man died at Kingston,
who confessed, on his death-bed, some Of
the enormities to which he had lent him
self by selling his services as poisoner.
Heaps of yaller-kivered" literature
could be made out Of that old fellows
confession A very respectable looking
