Scoyell possesses an immense amount of brass,
and he is too smart for the leaders of the Union
marty in Jersey. He found efficient friends in
one of the daily papers in this city, and one IN
New York, who were ever ready to publish his
own kilograms from Trenton, putting himself;
and, by n trick, he managed to get his name tele-
graphed among those named ut the Baltimore
Convention as candidates for the Vice
Presidency. He has studied the art of putting
rs thoroughly rs any theatrical manager, or
auack medicine dealer in the country, and he
has SO far succeeded i'll getting his name SO
often into the papers as to lead many to believe
that Hon. James NJ. ScOvell must he 4 person
of some consequence. At the late election i'll
New Jersey the Democrats were beaten; and
the opposition elected majority of the Repre-
sentatives and Senators, enough to give them
a majority of one. ScOvell was quick to por
ceive that his vote gave him control of the or
ganization, but he kept quiet until the time OF
the Legislature, when he refused to 90 into the
caucus of the Union members of the Senate
unless they would consent tomake him speaker
of that body. To this modest intimation they
Welded, fearing that he would induce the Demo-
Gratis to elect him if they refused. This is the
| record another horrible murder in Penn
sylvania. The Miners journal gives the fol-
lowing account of the murder of Henry H..
Dunno:
"Thc murdered gentleman is Henry llaw-
thorne Dunno, who was born in County Water
ford, ireland, and who, at the time Of his
death, was thirty-cight years of age, and had
been Il resident of Schuylkill county for eleven
years. His first investments were in the manu-
featuring business in PittSburg, and he was al
so interested in the importing business in New
York. Subsequently he was with Mr.. John Il.
Graham, at Monterey colliery, in this county,
for about six years. Some three years since
he went to HeckScherville, CaSS township, this
county, at the time Of the disturbance there,
which required the presence of the military to
suppress. From that time up to his death he
had an operation adjoining the HeckSchervillc
colliery, which he personally superntended,
and with such success that he but rarely had
any difficulty with his men. He was firm, but
kind, frank, generous and fearless, and much
liked by his employees. lie was unSuSpcouS
of fdanger for he gave no cause for assault upon
his life.
"Mr. Dunno left PottSville on Wednesday
morning last at eight o'clock for HeckScher-
VILE driving Onc-hOrSe carriage-the vehicle
new one, the third time he had it out. He
remained at HeckScherville all day, as was his
custom when he went out to the mines. lie
left HeckSchervlle at five o'clock in the after
noon, with young man whom he brought to
MincrSvile. He left MinerSville alone between
six and seven o'clock, to come into POttSville
by what is known us the middle road. He had
changed his usual route by one of the other
roads, in consequence of having been lately
fired at by concealed parties. About quarter
of seven o'clock, as Mr.. Dunnc'S horse was
walking up gentle rise in the road, mile
west of York farm, Mr.. Dunno was attacked, 1t
| is supposed, by four men. What enSued can
only be SurmiScd from the nature ot'thc wounds
received by Mr.. Dunno, and the appearance OF
the carriage. man named McAvoy, living
| i'm the vicinity of the scene of murder, heard
five shots and sounds of cXultant laughter. A
Mr.. Jones, of MincrSville, who was in Il car
riagc with Il young man and Il lady, coming to
the skating park here, reached the spot after
hearing two shots fired. Mr.. Dunno was then
in his carriage, and Mr.. Jones heard him cX-
claim, am murdered
1t is certainly safe TO say that one murder
per day is diShcd up for public food.
