The Murderer Probst.


We have seen the murderer Probst in his cell in
Moyamensing, before the inquest held over the re-.
mains of his Victims before the Court of Quarter Ses
sions where he was arraigned upon the charge Of
murder. ..... .. .. .......,..-
Probst said at his last interview with Chief Frank
lin, that he would welcome the hour that brought
his execution. He is dragging out hours of unutter-
able misery, and looks forward to death as well
come relief He is imprisoned in the same cell in
which the murderer Berger died of apoplexy. A
heavy bolt is fastened into the center Of the floor,
and chain fastened to this clasps the murderer's
leg. Its length allows him just sufficient room to
lie upon maltrass which is his bead, and to reach
to the loop-hoe in the door from which he receive
his food. .s.
He still adheres to his original statement that he
had an accompice in the murders. Chief Franklin
has not only secured Philadelphia but New York
also in pursuit of the man whom he describes. The
search has proved wholly in vain and no one having
cognizance of the case credits one word that the
murderer utters.
And vet he puts the question shrewdly. 81

Carey, and | held Bearings horse while Jake
killed him and his wifes niece. OF course, l must
be hung but he insists " didn't touch hair Of
the children's head and Jake promised me that the
lady and the elder children should suffer no harm.
Horrible spectres, says the wretched assassin,
"haunts me at night. can see them all lying
within collins" The physician of the prison has ad-
mnistered to the wretch the most powerful anodynes
and opiates He seldom sleeps for one full hour du-
ring the night and then endures the pangs Of eter
nal perdtion and sees the phantoms of his murdered
victims.
There was put into his cell the other day man
with manacles upon his wrists. He played the part
of sentenced murderer. To him Probst admitted
that he got thousand dollars from the murdered
family. He did not say what had become of the
money. What has become of what he did obtain
will be never known. Penniless and miserable, it
was supposed that Probst on the night that he was
arrested, was vending his way to the Almshouse, Of
which he had before been an inmate. He was
vagabond by nature, and the commission of murder
in no case altered his instincts.

FROM NASHVILLE.
The Frauds on the Government-False Receipts
Given Promiscuously.

NASHVILLE, April %, 1666.-In the Bruner case
Yesterday Colonel Charles Irwin was examined in
relation to the business conducted in his department
w. Mckay Hoge, formerly clerk in Captain Irwin 5
Office, and subsequently at the corral, under Dir.
Bruner was next called. He testified that lie had
given one false receipt to William Davis for between
twenty five and fifty mules; three or four to John
Henderson, one amounting to S22OOO or S23'OOOi
one to W. r. Brice, and one to Daniel Henderson.
He believed vouchers were issued on each of the
false receipts given.
The Court adjourned in order to procure the books
of Mr.. Bruner. -.
To-day William Mckay Hoge was recalled, and
stated that he gave receipts for $4,000 to lsham
Henderson, at Henderson's request and gave him re-
CENTS at different times and he always insisted on
witness giving him receipts for more mules than were
received He also stated that Henderson told him it
was honorable to defraud the Government OF large
amounts, but contemplate to cheat the Government
out of small sums. Witness received for issuing the
false receipts to Henderson, $4,000. Propositions
to issue false receipts were stated by the witness to
come from Mr.. Henderson, False receipts were also
given to David Henderson, Of Nashville and n. r.
Boyce, of Danville Kentucky, the former for $4,000
and the latter for several comparatively small
amounts From David Henderson, through another
party named George Barber, witness received 1000
and from Boyce $4,000. The witnesses highest salary
while employed as clerk in the Department was $50
per month. He stated that he frequently CAV re-.
ceipts for mules without seeing them asceraning
their number. ''
The witness stated that Bruner had loaned him
Sc 900 at his request, to cancel mortgage on his
fathers estate. The testimony of the witness en-
tirey eXculpated Bruner from any completely in the
issuing of fraudulent receipts he having kept care
fully concealed from him all knowledge of the
false receipts had ever been given by him with Bru
ners knowledge or consent at the corral of the
Quartermaster's Department. He (witness) issued
receipts to contractors on their verbal statement.

The object of the meeting having been explained
the following gentlemen were appointed commit.
tee to report resolutions for the consideration of the
meeting, viz JohnH. Griffin, J. B. j. Logan, VIM.
B. Preston, Palmer ST. Clair and David Dyerle at.
ter which the meeting took recess. On re-assemb-
ling the following resolutions were reported through
the chairman and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting regards il as the duty
Of the whole people of the United States both North
and South, who are in favor of preserving the Con-
stitution and restoring the Union, and opposed to
establishing great consolidated despotic govern
ment on the ruins Of the Republic, to come forward
and sustain the President in his patriotic efforts to
resist the Congressional majority, who would des.
troy the one and establish the other. 4...,.,
Resolved, That the measures OF this infatuated
majority, if sanctioned by the Judiciary, must lay
the foundation Of another bloody revolution, in
which the unofending negro will be the chief suf-
ferer. ..
RESOLVED That the assumption that their revolu.
tionary measures, which leave the States without
rights and the people without protection, neces
sary to the safety, calumny and libel on the cit
liens of the South from which self.respect forbids
that they defend themselves
RESOLVED That, desiring the restoration of the
Union in its former integrity, and shrinking from
the appalling consequences likely to result from their
recent legislation we would again appeal especial
y to the people of the North to sustain the national
executive by Diminishing from their confidence and
counsels men whose moral sense has been lost in in
tensifed malice, leaving them incapable of any
thing but evil.
ReSolped, That all ingenious minds must feel
that If the Union is fully restored it will be by
turning manifestations of mutual confidence and
not by tyranny and oppression. ...-
RESOLVED, That the Lynchburg and Richmond
papers, the Cincinnati Enquirer and New York
Ners be requested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

The Chicago Election.
[From the Times, April 18th. !


The municipal election yesterday resulted in a
substantial Democratic victory. Last year the Re-
publicans elected fifteen of the sixteen Aldermen
yesterday they elected only nine of the sixteen =
while the Democratic gain on the popular vote is
between four and five thousand. This is well; but
the Democracy might have done better. Had they
nominated tickets in every ward, presented bold
and united fronts everywhere, and fought the
contest with the vigor of which they are so ca
pabe. thew would have carried the city. They
see this now, and will hereafter profit by the expert
ence. -.
The events and result of the election disclose one
fact Enthusiastically. They disclose that the Republi.
can party here, which year ago was SO strong and
defiant Is now broken up, dispirted, demoralized.-
It is melting away. Under the same process OF dis
Indignation which has been at work for six months
mast IL will have dissolved six months hence dis
union party, Chicago repudiates it. party devo-
ted 10 caseess strife between the sections after all
cause of strife has been removed Chicago will not
tolerate il. party whose declared policy is negro
suffrage and negro equality all over the country,
Chicago spews it out. g- s..
The indications Of public opinion are the same
throughout the West as here The people of the
West, by an enormous majority, are for immediate
and perfect restoration to the Union, and they will
sweep out of existence the party which seeks dis
union 1t is the deliberate purpose of the Republi-
can party that the Southern States shall not partici
pate in the next Presidential election and that there
after they shall be kept in provincial condition I'M
til they shall submit to ATTENUATION. II would be
lamentable indeed if this party were not in the pro-
cess of rapid decay ....I ,...,. ,.....,,,----,

specially at him, we deem it proper to state
that 1t was studiOusly 50 shaped as not to bear

expressions which were supposed to be not
sufficiently general were altered, in the final
revision before publication, with the express
view of excluding the presumption that the
conduct of DR.. MADDUx or the other parties

merce has telegraphed to the California delegation
in Congress requesting the passage Of law, making
it felony to ship transport nitro-glycerine within
the United States, on American vessels

Nitro-Glycerine.

This new explosive agent, composed Of the
sweet principle of oil and nitric-acid, has intro
ducsd itself to the notice of the world in the
most terrible manner. It's vast explosive power
was recently manifested at San Francisco, and
with the most fatal effect, but more recently
still, at Aspinwall, and with a noise as terrific
a. the thunders of Sinai. Compared with it,
gunpovder is feeble explosive agent. In
small quantities of il are condensed powers OF
destruction that cause it to be regarded with
almost a superstitiOus fear. Il is too dangerous
and deadly to be useful. A Mr.. NABIE has
