THE ALBANY MURDER.

Additional Particulars-.S Sketch Of the
Murderer and his victim-General
Coles Explanation of his Crime and
the Provocations. ...
The bold murder of Hon. L H. Hiscock.
member of the New York State Consti.
tutional Convention, at albany, Tuesday
evening, by Gen. G. W. Cole, has caused
great excitement in the whole community.
The murderer, G. W. Cole, of Syracuse,
was an officer in the Union Army during
the late war, having been promoted for
gallantry from the rank Of Captain to that
of Brigadier General. He is brother Of
Senator Cole Of California, and his wife is
half sister of Henry D. Darto Of Tomp.
kins. Democratic member at Large Of the
Constitutional Convention. He came to
Albany Tuesday morning, about an hour
after his wife had arrived from Syracuse.
and ioiued her at the De)evan House. His
statement as to his present occupation and
late movements are confused and contra.
dictory, although h the murder was one Of
the coolest on record. He said he was by
profession doctor, but claimed to be at
the present time in the revenue service,
and had come to Albany with the avow
ed purpose of killing Mr.. Hiscock. Arm
cd with Derringer pistol and Smith g.
Weston's revolver be went to the Stanwix
Hall at IL o'clock in the evening. and
walking up to Mr.. Hiscock presented the
pistol to his face, and without word of
warning murdered him. The ball took
effect under the right eye. and Mr. His.
cock fingered insepsiblc for half an hour.
Then having justified his act to the spec.
tators, Cole gave himself up quietly into
custody. When at the Station House, he
manifested great excitement. He placed
a written statement in the hands Of q
friend, and tent for his wife, avowing his
readiness to die for the act. The murder
ed man Was widower, and leaves two
children. He was very prominent mem.
ber of the last Legislature, having been
Chairman Of the Judiciary Committee.
An inquest was held Immediately after
the tragic occurrence. st which one Of the
witnesses of the murder testified as follows:
"After Mr.. Hiscock had been shot and
fell upon the floor 1 instantly approached
Mr. Cole. who had changed his position
slightly; | saw then the pistol in his

LATER FACTS ABOUT THE FAMINE.
Early in March last the Executive Com
mittee of the Southern Famine Relief
Commission issued series of selections
from their correspondence, showing what
was then the extent and severity Of the
distress they were trying to relieve. Since
that time the contributions received by
the Treasurer have been increased from
$4,000 to about $l95 900. including Tho
liberal sum Of $47,750. in gold, from
San Francisco. Nearly l25,000 bushels
Of corn have been purchased, bagged, and
shipped. at the expense of the Commission,
for distribution in North aud South Car
olina. Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana !;
and as soon as the Purvcyor--a govern
mcnt ship. now on her way from Mobile
returns to New York. she will be again
loaded with 10000 bushels Of corn. for
the states Of South Carolina, Georgia, and
Alabama.
The following extracts from letters re-
Gently received, from these three States,
will show how apalling is the destitution
which prevails, what is the character Of
the distribution made Of the corn, and
Of the spirit with which it is received.

General Lee.

From the Richmond Enquirer April 6.
We took occasion to say recently. in view
of Gen. Lees well-known rule of keeping
out OF newspapers, except when official du-
ty required otherwise, and Of his desire to
do so-that it was not very kind or respect
full for journalists to be parading his as
sumed opinions for partisan purposes.
The report was tossed from one newspa-
per to another, that Gen. Lee had s..
SO and so, in connection with the recon-
struction legislation-that he had certain
" said even more than that-that he had
undoubtedly declared himself in the most
unreserved manner-that he was assured
ly rcry cmphotic-and 50 forth the story
widening and the emphasis intcnsifying as
it proceeded. But while thus made to
spea through dozen tongues, no one did
or could show his language. Or produce his
authority.
We have full information for saying that
Gen Lee has not, in the case referred to,
departed from his uniform rule Of reticence
on political mstters; and that no one has
been authorized, Or is authorized, to de-
clare his opinions either pro or CON-
While we know thus much, We do notknow;
his views on the matter in question; but X
we did know, and if they accorded with
our own, We would not publish them
We think General Lee is entitled to have
his wishes respected IN reference to such
publications and we think, further, that
the reticence which he has imposed upon
himself-from his dedication of hlmselfto
duties and pursuits the least cOngcnial
with politics dignifed. becoming and
wise. W. hope 20 journalist '7ill hereafter,
under any stress of difficulty i, maintain-
ing himself, undertake tc dra,; out Gencr-
al Lee, and either knowingly or, as in the
late case, urknOwing!y, declare his opin-
ion.

There are in every vicinity, many things of
local interest which the county paper
makes known, and which could reach the
public in no other way The reports of
the proceedings Of the courts, ot public

Street Costumes.
From the New York Home Joufnal

From the New \ ork Home journal.
The following is a description Of a few
pretty street toilcttes worn by some of the
most fashionable and well known ladies of
the upper circles. The lovely petite bride
Miss William O., wears a suit of rich
black corded silk, trimmed with black sat-
in folds. studded through the center with
small jet beads. The sacquc is cut in
points, and trimmed in the same way as
the skirt, and is made with the new fash
toned flowing or angel sleeves. Miss s.
wears ashort dress Of grey popliD, to match
the under skirts, and bonnet of brown vel
vet A very odd but pretty suit. Miss
H-said to be the wealthicst young Ia
dy in New York, wears a grey Irish poplin
suit, trimmed with bias folds Of brown sat
in, put round the skirt in scallops, short
sacque, trimmed like the skirt, and bonnet
of brown velvet, trimmed with brown sat
in ribbon. A very beautiful carriage dress
is worn by Mrs. G. Vt. The dress
is of violet colored gros grain silk, trimmed
with wide folds of heavy white satin, fin
ished on each side by narrow row of
black guipure edging. This trimming
goes round the skirt and comes up in front
to the waist, and forms point GU each
side. The sacquc is trimmed III the same
manner as the skirt, and tie sides are left
open showing the waist ofthe dress under
meath, which is slashed across with bands
of white satin.
The sleeves are flowing and cut rather
short, are opened to the shoulder, and fas-
tened there with a large white satin bow;
rosctte bonnet of white tulle, trimmed with
orange flowers, falling over the front, and
forming very becoming wreath for the
inside, The dress was made in Paris, and
the lady certainly displayed exquisite taste;
it is the most beautiful one have seen
this spring. Miss l.. T--wears short
skirt of gray poplin, trimmed with rich
blue velvet. Avery stylish paletot, OF the
same material, is worn, cut with long pop
lin points, back and front, each point be
ing terminated by blue tassel. The
sleeves arc made Ia Juive, and descend
below the bottom of The paletot, worn with
tight sleeve underneath, bonnet of dark
blue velvet, trimmed with white lace, and
ornamented on one side with small white
airrcttc. The beautiful Mrs. Edward s.

with that belief, the world does not look
with pleased eye uron one so active and
relentless in securing her condemnation
as was Mr.. Bingham. In this he but cx-
periences the fate of those who do the bid
ding of tyrants, OF pander to tic crimes of
faction: the times change, the acts come
out in hideous relief, and the actors are
visited with execration, instead of receiv-
ing the adulation and the reward which
were promised fer their services at the
time they sere rendered. The whirllygig
Of time is sure to bring around its re-
venges, and will eventually turn up all who
participated in that bloody mock trial,
and all who outraged humanity in their
zeal to serve their masters, for the con-
tempt and cxecration of their fellows. 1t
is true, Butler, monster as he is, should
have been the last to have aimed such a
poisoned shaft at Bingham, for he hung a
boy, in defiance of all law and decency
fol an act which was scarcely folly, and
his whole career is blackencd with crimes
equally as atrocous. But the audacty
which defends the sentiments of the civil
lied world served Butler well against
Bingham, and enabled him to carry off the
palm of victory, in rcncounter which for
cibly illustrates the criminal dcpravity OF
the ruling party. There can be little har-
mony in party whose leaders carry ir
their bosoms the recollection of such
crimes as these two men are guilty of, and
they must in time rend themselves to
pieces with their mutual examinations
and rccriminations.
