The Murder near Raltimore

We, yester lay, published a special dispatch
10 tne Std'' giving an account of the shocking
murder at Elk Ridge Bridge, Baltimore couu-
", Md. The AmericdR gives the following mar
ucnlars CT the murder rs furnished by a grand.
son Of the murdered man, David White, who
was an old gentleman 65 years of age.
He states that about half past ~ O'clock SIM
day night some persons entered the chicken
mouse. which was in the cellar. and caused a
considerable noise, which awoke his grand
father, who arose and hurriedly went below
to see what was wrong. Scarcely a minute
elapsed ere he heard the cry of murder mur.
der whereupon both he and his mother ran
GOWN TO the porch. and there saw Mr. White
hanging or leaning over the porch rail, appar-
emily lifeless. Soon as they made their ar
pearance they were aSsailed by two men of low
stature, dressed in dark clothes. and seemingly
not over thirty years. His mother was beafa1
over the head with clubs with the utmost VIC.
lence. ana was left PROSTATE upon the porch
bleeding proiusely, when he was attacked ana
aIso received injuries OF n similar character,
but not to such an extent TO Justify serious
apprehensions of a fatal result
Having done their bloody work, they pro-
ceeded 10 rob the old man anu his daughter
but did not get much, as an old silver watch
and $40 in Government notes $50 of which be-
longed to the daughterD was the amount Of
their Ill-gotten booty. Thus much for the
statement OF the boy, who coald scarcely make
his statement to the officers without Consider
able physical suffering. II was about eleven
O'CLOCK, when several parties residing on tie
Anne Arundel county side, hearing of the az
lair, hSs:ened to the mouse. and there a bIoodv
ana lrlghtful scene was presented TO their
gaze The old man laid in the conditIon dpS-
cribed, perfectly inanimate aud cold. whilst
MS mead and face Were thick with coagular.d
piooo; Near and PROSTATE upon the porch
were ootn mother and son. who were bleedinO
protusely.
The neigh bors removed the father into tsa
mouse, ana rendered every possible assistance
10 alleviate their sufferngs, AT the same time
securing the prompt attendance OF physicians
Upon an examination of the mothers Injuries
ey Iney pronounced her recovery quite doubtful,
still, with the most iudicious and skillfui
treatment, her life msght be prolonged: whilst
ihe boy, although horribly beaten, was beyond
danger.
The body of the Old man was also carried
into the house, and prepared for an inouesr
AS the nj ut ad dvanced, JustIce Smith, who had
also reached the house, summoned iury aut
proceeded TO hold an inquest There were
but few witnesses examined, (including the
lad,) and the jury soon rendered the verdict
that "the deceased came 10 his death az the
hands OF some person or persons unknown 10
them" No arrests have yet been made 80.

THE ATTEMPT TO INPLIcATE JEFFERSON
DAVIS IN THE ASSASSINATION PLoT.-The N
y. Herald's Washington correspondent is re.
sponsible for the following statement: ~ il7
A New Yorker Of the name Of Campbell has
just given TO the world some queer revelations
concerning the testimony lately adduced by
the Judiciary Committee of the House, tending
10 implicate JEFF. Davis in the assassi sinatiori
plot. He shows that a gross system Of frauds
anu perjury had been Tesorted TO 20 prove
Davis and others eonspirators in the matter,
and backs mp his assertions by facts that star
tie all who are familiar with the testimony. II
seems that many Of the witnesses testified un-
der assumed names, ana that no such persons
as the ostensible and recorded witnesses exist.
In addition TO this, he states thar a party who
was a principal witness or detective In the case
was asked to proceed TO New York and pro-
cure some corroboraing evidence of his own
statements, which he had prev iously .volun-
feered to furnish; that he gave the officer who
was sent with him the slip in New Y or x; has
actuaiiy run away. as is supposed, to avoid q
prosecutton for perjury. and has not been
heard from by the officer or committee for sew.
eral weeks. Other witnesses have come for
ward and confessed 10 having sworn falsely.

i WHAT WE HAVE TO PAY.-In a discussion in the
House of Representatives lately, Mr.. Schofeld
stated very explicitly what we have to pay and
when, in the following words taken from the
Globe:
What is the amount of Indebtedness to be met,
and when must it be met? To this question in
ye the careful and earnest attention OF the House:
shall give the official statement OF the amount OF
our total indebtedness, also of that portion soon
to become due. The amount OF our public DEBT
on the first day of this month was SAIL $50 600.
Less than half of this amount is funded. Within
will fall due, and will be presented at the counter
Of the Treasury department for payment. That
payment must be promptly made, or our paper
goes to protest and our credit is broken. hold
in my hand an official table showing the amount OF
our Indebtedness that natures each half year for
the next two years, which, after word of explain
alton, will read.
There was, on the last day of February, 1866, a
portion Of our debt in the form Of temporary
loan to the amount of sll9,335 l94 So payable at
the option of the lender after ten days notice. 1t
would hardly be fair to reckon that whole amount
as payable within the first six months, yet as it
may be called for at any time, and is the least
| valuable form of loan, it must be added to the
statement Of Indebtedness soon to be met. With
| this explanation, and supposing the payment OF
this loan to be demanded within the next six
months call attention to the facts exhibited in
| the table.
Between this day and the 30th day of June
next, we must pay, in addition to the regular ex-
penditure of the government, sl3s,674.9 74 50.
During the six months ending December 81, 1866,
we must pay 81 ,665 900 During the six months
ending June &c. 1867, we must pay So 600.
During the six months ending December 81, 1867
we must pay s45O,0OO,0O0 During the six months
ending June 80, 1868, we must pay 1868, 4l5,2 $50
During the six months ending December 81, 1858
we must pay $2S7 564 492. So that, between this
and the assembling of the next Congress there
must be paid over the counter of the treasury, be-
sides the ordinary expenses of the government

A Cock THAT WOULDN'T CRow.-George Frede-

tailor who had taste for tragedy, to be permitted
to play Catesby to the great actors Richard.
Catesby got on well enough till he came to the
tent scene, but rushing on the stage at Goster' 5
challenge of " Who's there he was so bewildered
that he stood transixed, and then stammering out,
"'Tis T. my Lord, the early village cock" stuck

Cooke growled out, "Why the deuce don't you
