Resolutions Of the National Union State
Central Committee.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-The Dem ocratic
and National Union State Central Com.
mittee have passed the following pream-
BILE and resolutions:
WHEREAS, Two citizens of the United
States, one the Rev. j. McMahon, a
Catholic priest, engaged at the time in
the discharge of his duty as clergyman,
and the other Robert B. Lynch, under
stood to be reporter for the public
press, have been tried, convicted and
sentenced to death in Canada for the
alleged Fenian movement
Resolced, That the President of the
United States be requested speedily to
interfere for the safety and protection of
the prisoners, and to represent in the
most earnest manner that such an un-
necessary rigor as sentence OF death is
calculated to shock the common sense
and justice Of mankind
At half past three o'clock this after
poon the Tammany committee had
another interview with the President,
when an answer to the memorial adj
dressed to the Hon. VIM NJ Weed, the
Chairman of the committee Of Tamma-
ny Hall, was handed to them. The
President refers the matter of Secretary
Stewards note to Consul Thnrston and
the letter 10 Sir Frederick Bruce, pub
lished to-day, and hopes that they will
convince the councils of the determine
ton Of the Government to protect its cit
liens wherever they be.
The committee expressed themselves
much gratifed at their interview, and
satisfied with its results.

PRINTING IN ENGLAND.

In nothing is the dependence Of Eng
hand upon America shown more plainly
than the fact that the best printing
presses used in England are of American
manufacture. Whenever extra speed is
needed, the mother country has to buy
an American press and to SO great an
extent is this carried that the English
press makers are anxiously anticipating
the time when the expiration of patent
rights will enable them to manufacture
presses after the American models

Grant.

Int late interview that Gen Grant had
with the President, he was consulted upon
the subject of the Baltimore difficulty
He replied that he knew nothing Of the
merits of the case, but should of
course obey orders If the President
is the man for the coming crisis,
he has the tool ready prepared TO his
hands
We believe in destiny, in great mea-
sure. We don't think the Almighty
makes anything in vain, and, therefore,
see nothing but sophistry, beautifully
expressed, in the we'll known lines Of
Gray
" Perhaps In this neglected spot lie laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial FIRE,
Hands that the rod Of empire might have
orwaisd g esst.cy the living Tyre
Some village Hampton, that dauntless breast,
The little tyrant Of his fields withstoOd
Some mute, inglorious Milton here may rest;
Some Cromwell, guiltless Of his country's
blood"
We believe no more in the existence
of mute Millions and bloodless Cromwells
than in germless negotiations and rayless
suns. Does man build ship-ofthe-line
to sail in duck pond, or cast columbiads
for warfare upon sparrows OF course
not Why, then, should we suppose that
the Almighty, in whose works economy
is q prominent feature, would be guilty
Of the Inconsistency of creating a Napo-
leon to drive pillow, Shakespeare to
play street scavenger2 We cannot be-
lieve that His grand schemes have con-
illusions so lame and impotent" To
accept the theory Of Gray, we must throw
of allegiance to an all-wise Creator and
do homage before the thrown Of Chance.
Now, If there is any thing in destiny
men are fashioned for the performance
Of certain work, as tools are made suit
able for the purpose Of the artizan, the
husbandman, the surgeon, etc, then we
think we see q conspicuous example OF
one Of those men in the person Of Gen
eral Grant. Why was this man allowed

SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.
The Murderer and Victim Under Is
Years of Age

CINCINNATI, Oct 29.-One of the most
terrible affairs known in the annals OF
Cincinnati crime took place yesterday,
on east Third street, between Ludlow
aud Lawrence, between four and five
clock in the afternoon. The particu-
lars are as follows:
Two boys named Edward Morris, aged
fourteen years, and Pat Gallagher, aged
fourteen and half years, in company
with several others, were engaged in
playing some game in a coal yard stu
ated, as we have already stated, on Third
street. Gallagher, whether accidentally
or purposely it is not known, knocked
Morris hat off his head. The latter,
without scarcely saying a word, delib-
erately pulled pistol from his pocket
and fred, the ball taking effect in the
back of his head just below the base of
the brain, and causing death in fifteen
minutes afterwards.
Morris, Immediately after firing the
shot, threw his pistol (which, from the
size of the wound inflicted, must have
been seven shooter) away, jumped the
fence surrounding the coal yard and ran
TO the residence of his parents, No. 81
East Second street Gallagher, who was
an orphan, was conveyed to the residence
of his sister, No. "a Broadway. DR.. Car
son was sent for, but before he arrived
the unfortunate boy was corpse
Morris was arrested shortly afterward.
he was found sitting very quietly in one
of the rooms of his father dwelling. He
was locked up in Hammond street, the
charge OF murder being preferred against
him. He has for several years been
known as very hardened and
wicked boy, and when we saw him at
Hammond street he appeared to be per
fectly unconcerned about the matter

MEXICO.
Gen. Grant to go to the City of Mex
leo with 10000 Men.


Nrw YORK, October 29.-The Times
of this morning says il cannot be doubted
that the government of Juaree has
already sought the aid Of the United
States in its efforts 10 reestablish its au-
thoriiy over the contending factions that
will arise upon the ruins Of the empire.

Washington are az fault, the President
