SENSIBLE AT Burleigh" the
New York correspondent of the Boston Jour-
nal, on the authority of a gentleman OF wealth
and position, just returned from Europe. who
had repeated interviews with leading rebels
abroad-Mason, Slidell, Breckenridge, ETC.
says that the last named is in very rational
frame of mind:
He made no concealment of his opinions or
feelings. He said the South had attempted
a revolution. They had thrown everything
they had into the contest. That they were
more than whipped, they were subjugated and
utterly ruined That by the law of nations,
and by the laws OF war, they had no rights.
They were at the mercy of the conquerors
He said the masnanimity of the North was
unparalleled. The history of the world would
be searched in vain to discover such clemen-
cy on the part OF conquerors as Congress offer
ed to the South involving the Government in
such terrible conflict, with SO awful q sacri-
flee of treasure and blood. He was astounded
at the blindness and madness of the South in
not accepting the humane and merciful pro-
visions OF the Constitutional Amendment.
He assigned as reason for not coming home
that he was waiting to see what disposal was
to be made of Jefferson Davis, as he consider
ed his own fate to be involved in that OF the
chief of the late Confederacy.

The Be., Way to Butcher Animals.

A writer in theAmerican Agriculturist rec
ommends the following method of killing
hog: --
Il take any kind of gun that will go "loose,"
load with, say one-third charge of powder, and
a plug of hard GOOD about an inch long and
the thickness OF ramrod. This 1 shoot direct
ly into the centre OF the forehead of the hog,
and he drops at once The head is not injured
as to meat; there is no danger of the hog Bit
ing you. You have no hard Juggling and lift
ing to catch and throw him, both OF which are
hard and dangerous work, and the hog will
bleed out better, as the nervous system receives
SO sudden shock, that he is not able to draw
the blood into the lungs, in case the wind pipe
should be cut in sticking 1t is easy to butcher
hogs laying on their backs, but try it one year,
and shooting tue next, and my word Tor it, your
pen will ever afterwards be free from squeal-
ing ON butchering day."
The Ne,o England Farmer says he has often
killed hogs and horses by the use of pistol
that carries a leaden ball as large as common
pea. The pistol being loaded, he says: u
Walk quietly up 70 the animal, say within
six or eight feet, and discharge the bali into the
head, midway between the ears, but a little he
low them. If the shot has been true one, he
will fall dead instantly, and probably without
the slightest sensation of pain. He may then
be bled at once. We have killed several worm
out horses in this way They invariably pitch
forward to the ground, and undoubtedly die
without pain, as they do not str limb or move
muscle. Before shooting they are led upon
bed Of muck, prepared for the purpose, where
they are cut up, covered with the muck, and
left to decompose.

SENATOR BoYNToN's REsoLUT1oN-The pre-
amble of Senator Boynton's resolution in favor
of equal rights was omitted in our Augusta
dispatch published yesterday morning. As it
is the most important part of the document,
and essential to the full comprehension of the
resolution, we copy it from the Kennebec Jour-
nal: .r.a.
Whereas, The loyal people of Maine believe
and will never cease to insist that equal Justice
and equal liberty and equal legal protection are
inalienable rights OF all men, Of whatever race
or color that there should be no restraints but
those laws that are common to all citizens, and
no denial of political rights to male citizens of
the age of Il years or upwards, except in pun
ishment of treason or other crime; that loyal
men must rule our National destinies; and
Whereas, treason and rebellion deprived the
people of ten of the lately rebellous states of

EFFECTS OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE DIS
TRIcT OF CoLUMBIA.-It is curious, writes
Washington correspondent, to see how easily
the mind of the politician accommodates itself
to the existing condition of things. But yes
terday the Washington or Georgetown negro
was nothing but a niger "a nuisance if
you villa creature without conscience at
least. Now, behold how changed Law has
put the ballot into his hands, and he is a king
in his own right.
The first election under the new suffrage law
will occur in Georgetown next month, when a
Mayor and some minor officers are to be chosen.
Mr. Addison, the present Chief Magistrate of
the old and sleepy borough, has occupied that
position for many years, and is not at all averse
to occupying it for at least one term more. He
sees, as every other man of intelligence sees,
that the negroes of the city hold the balance of
power, and he and his friends are nursing the
negro vote as carefully and tenderly as ever the
Tammany politicians nursed the Irish vote
In Washington no election will be held until
June, but the Democratic leaders are already
hedging" most industriously. Negroes get
work under the City Government far more
easily than they did last fall, and in quiet
way, the whole brood of ofice-h holders is cult
waiting amicable relations with the freedmen
/ expect to learn in May that several persons
whom have believed for four or five years, to
be most intense negro haters, have already
been very well disposed toward Sambo and his
FELLOWSHIP fact among their warmost and most
disinterested friends.

SHOOTING CASE IN MANCHESTER, N. H.
The Manchester Mirror gives the details Of a
somewhat tIagica. affair which occurred in
Pleasant street in that city on Sunday night.
1t appears that Henry 7. Hatch had fallen in
love with Mrs. Amelia Bachelor, who has a
husband living, as she says, in Boston, and de-
sired to marry her. This she very properly
refused to do, but Hatch's opportunities con-
tinued until he grew maniacal on the subject,
and he threatened to take her life if she per-
sisted in her refusal He even openly stated
that he would murder her on Sunday, but lit
tie heed was paid to his threatenings. About
q o'clock that evening he called at her board
ing place and found her as he entered putting
wood into the stove-a man named Davis be-
ing in the room at the time. Hatch said !:
"You could not ask me to take off my hat and
coat could you" and tired at Mrs. Batchelder
Mrs. d. rushed frantically out OF the room and
down stairs, excaiming:: my God, I'm killed.
Harry Hatch has shot me-" After shooting
her, Hatch said: Here is one man left yet"
Whether he meant Davis or himself, the form
er did not stop to see, but left tor dear life.
Immediately there was heard the report Of an
other barrel, and a lady who had gone to the
room was in season to see Hatch shoot him
self and catch him as he tottered to fall.
Mrs. Bachelor was unframed except by the
fright and confused wound OF little account.
The ball struck steel stay and was stopped
from going further. Ii there had been hard
resistance behind the stay the ball would have
passed through, but the yielding flesh OF the
abdomen prevented it. Her corset was her
armor, and saved her lie, PROBABLY. The ball
passed between Hatch's third and fourth ribs,
through the lungs, and lodged. His physician
thinks his chances of living small.

LIABILITY OF TELEGRAPH COMPANIES
John III. Carew, an oyster dealer of Detroit,
brought suit against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, in the Circuit Court of
Wayne county, Michigan. About a year ago
he telegraphed to Baltimore for quantity of
oysters to be shipped to him at once. The
message was delayed in transmission, and in
consequence the oysters did not reach Detroit
until the price had greatly declined. Carew
now sued the company to recover as damages
the difference between what the oysters would
have been worth to him had they come in re-
Spouse to his message, as he expected, and
what they were worth when they did come
Underline charge of the Court the jury brought
in verdict awarding him the damages claim

Tho Universal German Gazette describes
in the following curious terms the meeting of
the King of Prussia and the King of Saxony
at Grossbeeren: The royal train stopped at

occasion. King William walked quickly to

Early Thursday morning North East snow
storm, accompanied by heavy wind set in and
during the forenoon as the snow fell, the wind
blew it in drifts, SO that in many places one
side of the street would be bare while on the
other side the snow would be two or three feet
deep. In the afternoon the wind increased and
blew violently increasing towards sunset, to
almost a hurricane. The air was so filled with
snow, blown by the wind, as to blind pedestri-
ans, and to render it extremely difficult to get
along. The horse cars ran until five o'clock,
when they were obliged to give up. Two or
three cars that started for Westbrook about
that time got stuck at Winslow's, just beyond
behring's Bridge, where the snow was higher
than the cars. 1t was impossible to get along
without large gang TO shovel through the
drifts; and even them the wind would blow the
snow back again almost as fast as it could be
shoveled out. l-.t III eqasIa
The trains on the railroads were INSTRUCTED.
The first that arrived were the Grand Trunk
and Maine Central trains which got in at
quarter before o'clock. The train from Au-
gusta arrived little after o'clock. The out
ward trains on the Grand Trunk and Maine
Central roads were dispatched as usual; on the
Portland & Kennebec road no trains were
sent East.
On the Boston road the morning trains from
Boston for this city arrived at Kennebunk AZ
minutes late. Here the engineer left portion
of the train in order to proceed to Saco to wood
and water. Arriving at Kennebunkport he
was obliged to leave all the cars and proceed
with the engine only, to Saco, where he wood
ed and watered, then returned to KenDebunk-
port and Kennebunk, hitching to the cars left
there and proceeded with them towards Port
land. Arriving at Saco with the train it was
found impossible to proceed further, without
assistance, and a telegram was sent to this
city for aid. Superintendent Chase spent
some hours in endeavoring to get three engines
with snow plows to their assistance, but find
ing it impossible for the engines to get along
the snow blowing in faster than it could be
cleared out, he telegraphed for tie trains on
the road to remain where they were through
the night. NJ train, of course, was sent West
in the afternoon.
The storm continues at the time of writing
this article, eleven o'clock at night. We think
our railroads will be worse blocked up than
they have been known to have been before
The telegraph lines suffered from the storm,
but communication was kept up throughout
The lines south of Boston were more badly
damaged, and hence our brief Geographic re-
port.
