Most HORRIBLE MURDER.
people of Philadelphia and the neigh
boring localities were Mortified on
the 11th inst. by the discovery of one
of the most horrible murders ever
perpetrated probably in any commu-
nifty. The Deering family, father,
mother, and four children, young
female cousin of Mr.. Deering, and a
boy of seventeen years of age, were
brutally murdered at their farm re-
s;dence, near the city The murder
was committed on Saturday, 7th inst. :,
and the bodies were discovered, i'm Il
state of decomposition, in barn, ON
the following Wednesday.
The murderer's name is Antoine
Probst; had been in the employment
of the Deerings. He fingered about
the city, indulging in his vicious APP
petites, until he was arrested. The
! object Of his horrible deed was
money, which he discovered Mr..
Deering had, and, in addition to this
stimulus. was ill-feeling towards the
family for having previously dis
charged him from their employment.
The full report of the case, and the
evidence before the coroner's jury,
exhibit this atrocious murder as the
blacklist crime on record in this coun-
try. The brutal murder of four chill
dren was the act of q demon, not
that of human being.
The coroner's jury, after an inves-
tigatlon of the murder of the Deer
ing family, found verdict charging

with the murder of all the eight VIC

We publish, this. morning, the
episcopal address of tile Methods. Methodist
Episcopal Church, South twill he
read with interest, not only by the
members of the church, but by the
Southern people generally. 1t will
be seen that It is probable the name
of the church will be changed, the
sectional affix being deemed unneces-
sary and injurious, now that the
country is under one Government.
It is to be hoped that the friendly
relations between the church, North
and South, will be re-established,
and whether the churches will re-
unite Oh not, they may work together
in harmony. The subject of lay rep
resentation and modification inthe
rules respecting class meetings will
doubtless be taken into consideration
and as the condition of the country
and the views of members have
undergone considerable change in re-
lation to these matters, there will,
doubtless, be some action taken in
the matter. We are panied to OBJ
serve that the venerable Bishop Soule
is reported to the Conference as
dying. He is one of the most be-
loved dignitaries of the church.

Mr.. STEPHENS BEFORE THE Recon
sTRUcrIoS COMMITTEE. A large num-
Der of witnesses were examined be-
fore the Committee, on Monday last
Among them the testimony Of Hon.
Alexander II. Stephens was con-
cluded. Mr.. Stephens gives as his
opinion that an overwhelming ma
]ority Of the people of Georgia are
exceedingly anxious for the restora-
ton of the Government, and for the
State to take her former position in
the Union, and enjoy all her rights
and adjust all her obligations as a
State under the Constitution of the
United States as it stands amended.
His opinion is, and the sentiment of
the people of Georgia is, that the ex-
ercise of the right of secession was re-
sorted to from desire to render their
liberties and institutions more secure
and from % belief on their part that
this was absolutely necessary FOR that
object. He thinks that the people
are perfectly satisfied with the expert
ment, and that they will never resort
to that measure of redress again. He
believes the only hope for their liher-
ties now is, the restoration of the
Constitution OF the United States and
of the Government under the Consti
tuition.

/. Emigration.

We have sundry schemes inviting
the citizens of the South to expatri-
ate themselves, but the most advan-
tageous we have seen is that now
offered to the freedmen. We learn
from circular recently issued by the
American Colonization Society, that
it intends to send vessel to Liberia
earlyin May, should the number of
freedmen desiring 70 go to that ''lmd
of happiness and freedom" be suf-
ficient to justify the expense. The
latest news from the emigrants who
went thither last year, state that the
emigrants were delighted with the
land of their adoption.
The inducements held out are, that
five acres of rich land are given to
each emigrant Immediately Oh land
ing. Schools and churches are in
great abundance, and every freedman
is his own bureau. This is n great
inducement to our freed people; and
as there are thousands who complain
they cannot get work in the towns
and cities they generally flock to, we
should think they would universally
avail themselves Of the liberal offer
the Colonization Society. All who
want to go are requested by the cir
cular to make immediate application
to the Rev. W. w. McClain, d. D.,
Financial Secretary of the American
Colonization Society, Washington
City, ID. G. We think we are doing
the freedmen a service by extending
this notice.

The, POLITICAL situation.

Tho, Political Situation
It is, matter of considerable in
terest at this timegto. arrive at cor
rect conclusion as to what the de-
signs of the radicals are in the wild
legislation they are now driving
through both houses in the national
capitol. It is not generally believed
that they Intended the civil rights
bill TO be enforced as law, and that
q it was simply their expectation that,
by its passage over the veto, they
would thus secure means of foment-
ing alienation between, the people of
the North and the South.
:. The New York World is of opinion
that the radicals contemplated, by
the now enforcement of the law in
the Southern States, they would find
naw grounds of accusation against
the President. It says:
s.The real obstacle to the success of
the law is the repugnance of the
Southern people to its provisions, and
their disbelief in its constitutionality;
in consequence of which commission
ers will not serve nor juries convict.
But its failure will be attributed to
the neglect and opposition of the
President. The law authorizes him
to order judges to hold special ses-
sions of their courts at places where
the law is disregarded. Its authors
expect to find cases in which this is
not done, and to make it prominent
ground of the threatened impeach-
ment. >
.'The main purpose of the inn
peachment is to have the army under
the command Of q Republican at the
Presidential election of 1868. With
President johnson in Office, the
Southern States would all choose
Presidential electors. If, by count.
ing the votes Of the Southern electors,
the anti Republican candidate should
be elected, Mr.. johnson would, of
course, hold that he was fairly elect
ed, and entitled to be inaugurated as
President. Mr.. johnson being Com
mander-in-C Chief of the army, the
Republicans could not inauguratc
their candidate if he was not duly
elected. The President is, therefore,
regarded by the Republican party as
an obstacle to be put out of the way;
but whether by impeachment OR by a
political man9uvre Will not be fully
decided till after next falls elections. y
We are of opinion that before the
period of these elections, the sober
second thought of the voters of the
North will drive these factionists
from the halls Of legislation, and
that, finding themselves foiled, their
efforts at revolution will be aban-
doned. The World thinks that Chief
Justice Chase will be the candidate of
the radicals, and there is little doubt
but that, if they feel themselves
strong enough after the Congressional
elections, they will attempt an i'm
peachment of the President, with
which success may be inferred from
the fact. that Chief Justice Chase,
according to the Constitution, must
preside in the Senate when sitting as
court for the trial Of impeachments.
