THE MURDER IN THE "NEoK."-The
great topic Of conversation among all classes
to-day, has been the assassination of the Deer
ing family, a short distance south Of the
Navy Yard. This new horror has completely
thrown into the shade anything that has here
totore been known in criminal annals. In past
years we have been startled with such things
as the killing of HEBEBToN by MERcER, rem
dered insane by a sisters disgrace; Mrs.
RADEMACHER's butcbery by LAEeFELT,
the SKUPNsKIs. who took the life of
poor peddler boy for the sake
of some triAing articles of iewelry;
ARTHUR SPRING, the demon who murdered
the inoffensive RINK, and completed his crimi-
nal career by killing Mrs. ELLEN LYNCH
and her sister, Mrs. SHAW; the cold-blooded
ARMSTRONG and the infamous BERGER; but
nothing has ever happened in the city's his
tory at all equal in ierociousness to the fiend-
ish atrocity which is at present sending a
shudder to the hearts of our citizens. Men
dread to leave their homes, lest some calamity
should tall upon their households during their
absence. Such wholesale slaughter Is some
thing new. There are many theories in
regard to the matter some holding to the
belief that the act was performed by
the unknown German, while others
think that it must have been the
work OF more than one party. 1t is not pos
sible or proper at this moment to make any
statements in regard to the movements of
the police; but we may say, that if there ever
was a case adapted to stimulate the detec-
tives to vigilance and industry in the dis
charge Of their delicate duties, this is one.
Such enormous crimes must not go unwhipt
ofjustice. Human life is sacred, and as great
crimes are becoming of daily occurrence, it is
time for the authorities to be specially upon
the alert to arrest the perpetrators. 1t is to
be hoped that no effort will be left untried to
probe this mystery TO the bottom.

WHISKY IN THE CAPIToL.-Some truths
although generally admitted, are of so revolt
ing a character that universal usage agrees to
let them go unmentioned. But yesterday the
fg-leaf of decency was abandoned, and the
Senate of the United States made to resound
with assertions which would have disgraced
the lowest brothel in the worst of civilized
cities. The condition of affairs at the Capt.
tol has long been known to those who have
had occasion to visit it, but never until now
were the facts laid bare in all their native hide
BUSINESS. The occasion for the debate and
expose was the motion OF Senator WILSON,
that the sale of spirtuous liquors be forbidden
in the building.
The resolution was opposed by Mr.. MCDoU-
GALL, OF California, who eloquently, though
rather obscurely, announced himself in favor of
wine, whisky, and beer" Senator CLARK,
in the course OF his remarks, stated that
"little boys employed as pages had been car
ried home drunk" The cheek of every true
American bushes to think of the disgrace
thus set upon our nation. For the hall of
national legislation to have been for years
grOg siOp, iOr Ihe comnlJJee-rOOulS 10 nave
been made beer stands, and the rulers of the
and wine-bibbers, is an unutterable disgrace.
We are glad to see, however, that the prohibi-
ton has been effected and the disgrace in
future forbidden. There were but two
members who were found to oppose it
GARRETT DAVIS and JAMES A. MoDoU-
GALL. We are not surprised at DAVIS
opposition, for he must certainly have some
| stimulant to support him during those eternal
harangues with Which he continually exhausts
the ody. But where was SALISBURY
Did that gallant knight of the bottle
finch in the day OF danger, and vote Tor the
resolution? Impossiblel He must have
been absent or lodging. AS it was, the hero
did not appear, and the bill became law, so
far as the Senate is concerned. We earnestly
hope that the II ouse will act promptly,
remedy the evil, and wipe out the disgrace.

BUTLER ON GEARY.-In the able and
eloquent speech OF General B. f. BUTLER,
delivered before the Legislature yesterday,
we find deserved and well-timed compliment
to our nominee for Governor. Whatever may
be the difference of opinion entertained by
the people of BUTLER's military capacity,
there will be found few who deny to him great
civil ability. His speech was a masterpiece
of force. Being, as he was, during the greater
part of Mr.. LINCoLN's administration, in the
most secret confidence of the Government, he
had ample opportunity of Judging of the
ability and skill of all the leading military
characters. He gives his opinion of GEARY
in a lew words. Referring to matters
in Pennsylvania, he said:-"You, gentlemen
constituting the Union majority of
Pennsylvania, are standing by those
who stood by you, for L recognize in your
candidate for Governor one of the best SOL
ders of the war, and one of the foremost and
truest and most reliable statesmen of your
Commonwealth, OF whom l can say from per-
sonal knowledge, not paying a compliment
where none is needed, that no man will fad
in him, when elected, even a shadow of
treachery to the principles to which he shall
declare himself committed"
Here, then, is the testimony of a gentleman
who had no object to gain by flattery to the
ability and bravery, as well as success, of
General GEARY. There are hundreds of
other leading officers who, should necessity
require, would bear like evidence. 1t is only
from anonymous letters manufactured in
Democratic editorial rooms that slander
against the fair fame of our leader is found.
The people, however, will believe the war
riors and loathe the falsehoods and talsiflers of
our gallant soldiers.
