FAMILY TRAGED1Es.-It seems that
murders of entire families are becom-
ing frightfully numerous in the Uni
ted States. First we had the Dearing
tragedy near Philadelphia, and the
Deertield murder in Tennessee, the per-
petrators of which had remarkable re-
semblance to each other-the shuffling
gait, the light hair, the boyish counten-
ance, and even the absence the thumb
of the right hand. Then was announc-
ed the tragedyin York county; and then
the murder of father and son in Ar
kansas and now we have in West Ba-
den, Orange county, Indiana, the muir
der ofa family of four persons, killed
to prevent their testifying against their
murderer, who was soon to be tried for
arson. In this latter case the murderer
has been arrested, but even arrests and
convictions and executions do not seem
to prevent the occurrence ofthese terri
be family butcheries, the mere descrip-
ton Of which is almost too horrible for
belief

The Circular of Gov. Worth, announ-
cling himself candidate for reelection,
will be found in our columns of to-day.
Any many, by reading it, can see where
to locate the Governor That his circular
will command for him the entire De-
structive vote there is no doubt, and
this circular is bid for the milk and ci-
der Conservatives, but no true Conser-
vative will be caught by the trap.
While Mr.. Worth has been a Union
man, (for which he should be praised }
he has been acting with the Secession
party of the State and our honest opin-
ion is that men who were Union men
and have now gone over to the Destruc
tives are worse men than the original
Secessionists. "By his company let
him be judged. ."-Rutherford Star,

Beadle's Monthly opens with bright
paper on the home habits and wives of
Young and Utah. Here he gets an
idea of the number of Brigham's wives {:
There is legend that one day wo-
man went to Brigham for counsel touch
ing some alleged oppression by an Off
Ger of the church. Brigham, like a
true politician, assumed to know Rut
when it became necessary to recorder
case, hesitated and said "a
: g Let me see, sister, forget your
name"
My name % was the indignant re-
ply :" why am your wife ?''
6 When did marry you ?''
The woman informed the President,
who referred to an account-book in his
desk, and then said
Well, believe you are right. I
knew your face was faIniliarl"

THE BIBLE IN MExIco.-Mr. James
Hickney, an agent of the American Bi-
BILE Society, has continued his labors in
Mexico through all the political chang
es in the country. His visits are glad
ly received, and his books taken with
avidity in the Republican army, while
the imperial Government permit his
labors to be uninterrupted within the
territory which it controls. In letter
written from Monterey, February %,
he describes journey to Zacatecas,
three hundred miles distant, during
which he sold above three hundred
books. A year ago he received an or
der to take his bibles out of the coun-
try. But now he says: "What will
you say now when tell you that exac-
tly one year from that order I sold in
the homestead of the very man who
gave that order, 40 bibles and 60 testa-
ments, and actually had arrangements
made for preaching ~

A WORD TO FREEDMEN.-From the
best information we can get, the Freed
men in this and the adjoining countries,
are performing their respective labors
and fulfilling their contracts equally as
well if not better than was expected
This is to their credit and we sincerely
hope for their own benefit and commun-
tiles, they will continue to do so. We
regret to say however it is not SO much
SO with the women, a good many of
them seem disposed to do nothing, or
work on short time, without any re-
gard to the future or their contracts.-
We urge upon all Industrious and wor-
thy Freedmen to use their best endeav-
or to make their respective families do
their part as well as themselves. The
time will come when they will need it.
We suggest this for their own henefit.

a Union in which subdued rebellion
shall dictate its own terms to the
Government which it has attempted
to destroy.
Have we Constitution which re-
wards treason and Furnishes patriot
ism? which makes it virtue for a
man placed by a deplorable contln-
gency in the highest station, to be-
tray the loyal people who elected him
to a subaltern place, and to belle all
those professions to which he owes
his position?
Having forsaken the cause TO sus-
tain which he was placed in power, is
| he now to assail that national leg
! islative body which is the legal repre-
sentative of that cause; to threaten
and valify them because they dis
charge their constitutional duties in
dependently; to give countenance to
the enemies of the Union in deeds of
violence, by sanctimonious recital
of their pretended wrongs, and then
to defame the murdered and apollo
gize for the murderers whom he ought
to bring to justice?
Is this the Union which is to be re-
stored, and the constitutional govern
ment which is to be inaugurated?
Are the men who fought for the
government and for the Union, and
others who aided and supported them,
to be shot down like dogs, without
finger being lifted by the supreme au-
thority for their protection2 And are
all the Office holders in the land who
disapprove of such barbarity, and the
measures that lead to it, to be dismiss
ed to give place to others who will aid
d perhdious power in placing over us
the murderers of our friends and des-
troyers of the national life?
This oonglomerate of political rec
reancy at headquarters, of rank treas
on and butchery at the South, of
demagogues and Office seekers at the
North, has mixed up with it. / regret

Which Congress will the President
Recognize.

By law Congress consists of 241
members, and by law, also, a majority
of the whole number, or 121 members
members elected from the Southern
States should meet in December,
1867, and be enough, added to North
ern members who believed in their
right to representation, and who
would meet with them, to constitute a
quorum; !; and suppose the Northern
members who do not believe the
South entitled to representation and
who would not meet with them, should
meet by themselves, constituting less
than quorum of the whole number.
The Pittsburg Chronicle begins to see
the possibility of such an occurrence; !;
and it also sees that the President will
be under the necessity of recognizing
one Or the other of these bodies
as the ] valid, constitutional House
of Representatives. He must send
his. message to the one or the other.
He must sign bills passed by the one
or the other. He must treat one or
the other as branch of Congress,
clothed with the power of making
laws, and the other as having no such.
authority, And under the circum-
stances assumed, there can be very
little doubt, in view of his known
opinions on the subject, that President
johnson will recognize the numerical
quorunl-the body which contains
majority of all the members-as the
only body authorized by the Constitu-,
ton to make laws for the United States.
He will probably send his message to
that body he will sign the bills they
pass, if concurred in by the Senate,
and will not recognize the acts of the
other as valid in any respect. The
Senate on the contrary, will lreeog-
nize majority of members from all
the States but ten, even if they are a
minority of the whole, as the real Con-
gress, and as such clothed with all the
powers of legislation. ed aaa1a.

His Political Views Stated
}o by Himself.
ARMY POLITICIANS REPROYED.

The reporter of the Chicago Re
publican, travelling with the Presiden-
tial party, makes the following i'm
portant statement in regard to Gen.
GRANT. 1t occurs in connection with
an account of the rebuke given by
Gen. GRANT to the deputation of
Boys in Blue" who waited on him
when he was at the theatre in Cincin-
natl:
The fact is, that Gen. Grant knows,
as has been patent to every one dur
ing the whole of this trip, that con-
tinued efforts have been made to en-
bitter, if possible, his relations with
the President by exciting the jealousy
of the latter, or by making invidious
distinctions between them, and he is
determined that no act of his shall
lend any encouragement to any such
contemplate proceedings on the one
hand, or those that have been made
with like persistency to identify him
with the political views of the Presi-
dent, on the other. Gen, Grant feels
that, next to the President, he is the
head of the. army Of. the United
States, not the leader of political
party. He does not consider the
army "a place for a politician, aud
therefore will not permit himself to
be committed to the support of either
of the present political parties, nor
that the army shall be made party
machine q 9d 81 e.- "a yT. ~

I have submitted the above to the
General, who entirely approves of
what | have written, and says that it
exactly expresses his views. lef
