The EFFECT OF RADICAL RULE The
Philadelphia Age draws this picture of the
financial effect of Radical rule upon the
people and the nation:
Zone dollar and sixty cents per head
were paid by the people through the Gus
toms in 1860. This was thought to be a
heavy burden upon each person. But in
1866, after six years of Radical rule, four
teen dollars per head were drawn from the
industry of the nation through the customs
and internal revenue. In 1860, each man
had to pay out of his labor, two dollars and
six cents of the public debt The Radicals
came into power, and in six years raised
that sum to seventy-nine dollars and fifty
cents The expense of the national Gov
ernment in 1860 was sixty-two millions s.
This year they will reach two hundred and
seventy-fve millions. A fearful increase in
the short space of six years. In 1860, the
government Of this State cost four hundred
and two thousand dollars. In 1866 it will
take six hundred and sixty-nine thousand
dollars to foot all the expenses incurred by
the Radical party. Twenty five Millions Of
dollars are annually taken from the labor of
this State to pay the interest on the debts
of a national, State, and municipal charac
ter, contracted by the Radical party in the
space of six years.

A DUBIOUS CASE.-The Chiffon Times
narrates the following singular case of death
by lightning in the town of Calumet during
the severe storm on the night of the 18th
instant:
A German, named Joseph Kruhn, his
wife and child Is months old had retired
to bed but a short time when Mr.. X. and
his wife were struck by lightning, while the
child lying between them escaped unharm-
ed. Mr.. K. must have become insensiblc,
for the first thing he remembers was being
awakened by the crying of the child. He
endeavored to awake his wife, but being
unable to do so he became alarmed, got an,
struck light, and his horror can be imag
ined to find his wife a corpse. Upon ex.
animation no mark could be found upon her
person except small black spot in the pit
of the stomach. Mr.. X. during The ex.
element of the moment, paid no attention
to himself, but he afterwards found long
black mark on the back of one of his legs.
1t is singular fact that no place can be
found where the electric fluid entered the
building, and no damage was done to any
thing about the premises except as above
mentioned"

Jefferson Davis and his Trial.

A Richmond correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes: -
From an authentic source have reason
to state that Jefferson Davis will be- tried
at the November term ofthe United States
circuit court here, and that he will be forth
coming at that time. The counsel for the
defence will declare themselves ready for
trial. The court will signify itself in the
same manner. The Government will ask
Tor time under the pretence of being un-
Prepared shift to get out of the trial.
The court will then say it will be in session
for considerable period, which will afford
the Government ample time to prepare, ard
If Its representatives fail to prosecute the
prisoner before the term of court expires,
it will in that case probably declare the
prisoner disch. Jed, ia the, absence of the
prosecution. Such will most probably be
the programme Of the long g-expected Davis
trial, and such the upshot of it in case of
the failure of the Government to substanti-
ate its charges. The country will then lie
rid Of serious encumberance.'

An Atrocious Murder Crime Com.
mitted more than: Two Years Ago.
From tho Chicopn TnaS DAD i..
From the Chicago Times,


Saturday forenoon, a man named George
L.. Van Solen was arrested at the Wheeler
house, in this city, by detective Sam. Ellis,
at the instance Of Chief ofPolice Mclrath,
of st. Paul, Minn., on the charge Of the
murder of Dr. Ii. Harcouit, near that city,
in the month Of August, 1865. For oyer
eight months Mcllfath has been ged
upon this case, and his investigations have
revealed one OF the most coolly planned
and perpctrated crimes on record.
Van Solen had known DIR. Harcourt, who
was young English physician Of rare at
tainments, and who had lately come to
| this country, in St. Louis, in the year 1864.
At that time, Van Solen was in the gov
ernment service, being employed as hos
pital steward in st. Louis. Here he made
Harcourt's acquaintance, and probably
| laid the plans which he afterward carried
out. In the spring of 1865 he was in st.
Paul, and by means Of decoy letter, Of
| fering Harcourt the position Of surgeon TO
| bogus EXCEPTION to Lake Superior, and
the British possessions, he induced Har-
| court to go to St. Paul, taking with him a
large supply Of medicines, surgical instu
ments. personal effects and quite an amount
of money. After the arrival OF Harcourt
in st. Paul he soon mysteriously disap
| peared, aud from the subsequent lnvestl-
! cations, it seems almost, certain that he
was taken down the river a few miles by
Van Solcn, and murdered in cold blood. =
| The only object of the awful crime was to
obtain the possession of the effects hc had
brought and the moneys which he was
known to have.
| What first excited suspicious of foul play
was the rcceipt Of letters by The mother OF
| Harcourt in England one from herson an7
forming her of@his appointment, and IN
closing the decoy letter, and afterwards a
letter in answer to her anxious inquiries for
him, from Van Solen himself, both OF which
were in exactly the same Handwriting. 1t
was also found that, after the disappear
ance of Ilarcour., his friends in ST. Louis
had received letters, purportlng to come
i from him, and dated ''iu the woods" al,
of which were traced directly to Van Solen.
/ With these facts to work upon, Mcllrath
has for months het n to work upon the case,
endeayoring to ferret ont the biding place
Of Van Solen, and at last, after tracking
him from place to place, learned that he
was in this city. Saturday morning that
officer arrived here, and, giving Ellis pho
tograph of the supposed murderer, and the
Information that he was probably in some
second class hotel in the city, the Chicago
detective started on the search In less
than half an hour he had feand him at the
hotel named, where he was employed In
the capacity of night watcher. Since his
arrest, he has admitted that he wrote the
decoy letters spoken OF, aud il is new al
most certain that he is guilty of this hor-
rible crime. Officer McIlrath starts to-day
for 81. Panl with bis prisoner, having with
him a requistion frcm the Goveraor ol
Minnesota.

A STRANGERS OPINION OF MANTTowoC.
Mr., SHEp. P. SMITH, who spent several
weeks of the summer in Manitowoc, gives
the following opinion of our village in a
letter to the Kankakee (Illinois) Journal
Here is what he says Of us:
''1Ianitowoc, where have been rustica-
ting,a few weeks. though an old town com
paratively speaking. has not until year
or two past improved very rapidly. Its
distance however from Chicago and Mil
waukee--nearly 200 miles from the former
and 80 from the latter-gives its locality of
no little importance and having one of the
finest natural harbors on the lake, which is
now being rapidly improved by redgine
and the building of piers, wide and deep
chapnel to the river, beautiful elevation
above the lake on which to build, a well
timbered and hnc farming country to back
it up, tits now improving very rapidly as
1t has for year or two past and with the
nov. seems to characterize the citizens, it
is soon. bound to number its ten or fifteen
thousand inhabitants.
Good building lumber can be had at
very. reasonable rates brick equal to the
far famed Milwaukee, are manufactured
in abundance, while the best of sand can
be had for the hauling, so that buildings
can he put mp here at small cost compared
with many localities. Wood fnel is of the
best qualities. cheap and abundant. Thus
with the wealth of the forests, the produc-
tivepess of the soil, the advantages of the
harbor, and cheap lake transportation, its
beautiful and healthfui location, its fine
climate, its mills and manufactures, its
tanneries, ship yards. &C., and the enter
prise of its people, we see but one thing
lacking, Railroad. TO hinder Manitowoc
from a rapid growth in the future, assum-
ing that importance in size, trade and com
nerce, it's situation and prospects SO justly
entities is to. 4
Il cannot close this communication with
ont saying one word in relation to the
friends with whom | have been spending a
few sweeks-for the purpose of restoring
my shattered health somewhat-whose
kindness and hospitality have been unboun-
ded, and who have contributed so largely in
many ways to make nv visit pleasant and
agreeable. | refer to Dr. j. A. Brown and
his cstiDable wife whom MANY of your
readers will remember resided in Kankakee
for number ofyears bu. who some years
since left our city to the regret of his many
friends and patrons for climate more con
dueiye to the health of his excellent

CATTLE THIEVES IN WALwoRTH CoUN-
TY.-The Waukesha Pzaindeoler of yester-
day gives the following particulars Of the
arrest Of noted character: ~
"On Friday, Samuel w. Carpenter, Of
Kansas notoriety, and another man were
arrested in this village for stealing yoke
of oxen the night previous at Lyons, Wal
worth county. They first talked of pur-
chasing the oxen, but finally concluded to
take them. They drove them during the
night to North Prairie, distance of nearly
thirty miles, when Carpenter took the cars
and came here and waited till his partner
arrived with the oxen. About the
middle Of the afternoon, parties from Lyons
who had followed their track arrived and
caused their arrest before they had sold the
cattle. The prisoners were committed t,
iail and on Saturday sheriffs Hunkins and
Heath took them back to Walworth county
for trial. This Carpenter is an old acquain
tance of ours, whom we followed two
months in 1862, through Kansas. Missouri
Nebraska and Iowa, and finally arrested
IN Illinois"
( During the war, CARPENTER was Ions
time in the employ of the government and
was particularly distinguished for his 10y
atty" being a favorite of Stanton anC
