man named Antoine Gapter who confessed
to have murdered the Dearing family few
days previously. The prisoner was formerly
q member Of the 5th Pennsylvania Cavalry,
and at the time of the murder was an em-
ployec Of the. family. It will be remembered
that. the entire. family, consisting. OF. eight
persons, were iphumanly butcbered and the
bodies discovered lying together in barn on
their premises. Gauter made a.full confession
to the civil authorities, and implicated an ac
complce who has not yet been. arrested
Great indignation prevailed against the priso-

The, LAST AMENDMENT TO THE CIVIL
RIGHTS -BtLI.-ln the copies Of the Clyil
Rights bill. says the Richmond Era,niner,
that have been published since itsrpassage
over the veto, there has generally been want
ing the latest and NEST important amend
ment:: That amendment provides that roth-
ing in the bill shall be construed to interfere
with the regulation of suffrage in any State
by the Legislature thereof. This is scme-
thing, and shows that all respect Tor the re-
served rights Of States has not died out Of
Congress com pe9cly. The BILL leaves negro
suffrage still a question to be dealt loith by
Ne States, and that it was SO left is good
indication that even the Northern soy leigns
are not ready to share political powers with
the blncks.
