mob in New Orleans, no one of the
guilty perpetrators have ever been
brought TO justice or punishment. While
thus giving encouragement to rebels to
suppress loyal and lawful assemblsge,
he refused military aid, when demanded
by the Governor of Tennessee, to pre-
serve peace and execute the laws.
Assuming the right TO require illegal
conventions to be hell in seven States
at his pleasure, he denied the right of
legal Convention to be held in Louisiana
While many thousands of loyal citizens,
including freedmen, we're murdered
without cause by rebels, during his work
Of reconstruction, the President failed to
cause the guilty perpetrators to be
arrested, tried or punished, and forcibly
dissolved military commission in Vir
ginia, sitting for the trial Of en- acknowl-
edged murderer, wkom the civil authori.
ties failed to punish, and he is to day at
large unmolested. He has brought re-
proach upon himself and degraded the
dignity of his Office by indecent
harangues to the people, and has de.
nounced Congress as "a body called, or
which assumes to be, Congress of the
United States, while in fact it is a Con-
gress of only part of the States.

fee 10 God The narrative in the Rus
sian journal is as follows:
The doctrine of this sect consists in an
absolute negation Of all earthly property.
An adherent possesses nothing whatever,
and according TO his notions every thing
around him is evil personified. Such
ideas naturally prompt these unhappy
men to acts Of frightful despair. They
believe il is necessary to constantly i'm
plore the mercy of the Savior by every
means, for it is He alone who can save
them. The accused person, who was
twenty seven years Of age, killed his son,
little boy of seven, in the conviction
that the act would be agreeable to the
Savior. His own account of the crime is
as follows:
Zone night felt so strongly that the
human race must soon perish that / could
not get a moments sleep, / rose and
lighted all the lamps before the images
of the saints, and throwing myself on
my knees, fervently prayed God to save
me and my family. Suddenly the idea
came to me of saving my son from eternal
damnation, for as this only child was a
beautiful hoy, and finer than most boys
of his age, feared that he would become,
after my death, prey of hell, and de-
termined TO sacrifice him to the Lord.
"Filled with this idea, | continued to
pray. said to myself that if during my
prayer the thought of sacrificing my son
to God came to me from the right side,
would execute it; if, on the contrary,
it came from the left, | would give it
up; for, according to our religious
teachings, the thought which comes from
the right is from our good angel, and
that from the left is the instigation Of
the devil. After long prayer, the
thought came to me from the right side,
and / returned full of JOY to the room
where my son slept by the side of my
wife. Knowing that she would oppose
the sacrifice which desired to offer to
God, sent her to market to purchase
provisions.
"When she had gone / awoke my child,
and said to him, Get up, my son, put on
thy white shirt, that | may admire thee
When he had done this / laid him on a
bench, ard stabbed him seven times in
the stomach"
The child, in struggling, fell frequently
upon the knife, and when found was Gov
cred with wounds. The father, it seems,
intending to end the lads sutferings, cut
the stomach open from top to bottom
but even then he fingered for little
while. This frightful scene occurred
just before sunrise.
Kursin says, that just as the child had
breathed bis last, the first rays of the
sun shone through the window, and in a
moment of ecstacy he fell on his knees and
implored God to mercifully receive his
sacrifice Kursin continued his narra-
tive in these terms: Just as l had
thrown myself before the holy images,
and as my son was lying in his blood,
the door opened and my wife Dame in.
She instantly saw what had passed, and,
seized with horror, she fell senseless to
the ground. l raised her, and | sa;d
Go to the mayor and tell him all. l am
going to give .fete to the saints.
Kursn, after he had been sent to
prison, resolutelt refused all kinds of
nourishment, and died Of starvation be-
fore the sentence upon him could be
executed.

Altogether too Affeo otionats.

Frank Kremer, it is said, is clever
fellow when he's himself; but when a
little too heavy by the head, he is given
to display of too much Of the affec-
tionate; he wants to hug and kiss every
body be meets. Yesterday afternoon
he was affectionately tight, and meeting
two colored girls, named Martha Love
and Francis Antle, Frank proposed to
hug them, probably on a bet that he
could do it. Frank won the bet, but it
cost him seven dollars and eighty cents
in the city court this morning for the
hug. Franks wife says he can get hug
ging enough at home, and it won't cost
him cent-New Albdny Ledger, 25th.

The editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Era, who
has been advocating General Grants

Conservative ticket, arrived here few
days since, and obtained an interview
with General Grant for the avOwed pur-
pose of ascertaining if his political pc
sitiou was that represented by Congress

editor proposes to publish that Grant
replied that be was not a party mau
never had been Of any political party,
aud perhaps never should be- that he
voted for Buchanan for President but
had not done much voting since, owing
to his unsettled residence. The editor
says that the impression he derived from
the conversation was that Gen. Grant
would rather accept the Conservative
nomination for the Presidency, bat, at
the same time, did not pledge himself
either way. The conversation which
took place will be published At length.
