HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR BUFFALO.

iendish, and probably successful, attempt
was made TO murder an old man named Mr..
Jacobs, at Black Rock, last Saturday night, be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock. The victim was en-
ployed as nightwatchman in the hre.brick works
OF Hall Il Sons, located ON Scajaquada creek.
The cry of murder was heard, and as soon as
possible Captain Rhinehardt with force of
the old man weltering in his gore, and APP
parently dying, from the effects OF injuries in
flicted upon his head with an axe, which was
found lying near the spot He was removed as
soon as possible to his residence on Niagara
street, near the North Buffalo Hotel, where
his wounds we're attended to by DR.. Dayton.
His head was found to be badly mangled,
and but little hope was entertained of his re-
covery.
The police Immediately set about discovering
the perpetrators of the deed. 1t was ascertained
that MIR. Jacobs had received siXty-One dollars
at sundown as the wages of himself and sOn-in-
law, and it was surmised that this money was
the object aimed at by the assailants, but for.
tunately Mr.. Jacobs had sent the money home
by his son in-laW. A number OF men we're seen
TO visit the place little while before the cries
were first heard, and during the excitement
which followed, their efforts to fasten suspicion
on somebody else we're so marked as to create
mlstrust, and five were arrested. Their names
are Thomas Kelly, William Carr, Thos. Bowers,
David Carr and Owen Mccarthy.
At last accounts the victim was lying in o
state of unconsciousness, unable to give any
account of the horrible atfair.-Bufd(O (N. "

Arthur N. AplIn,
Antiquity of BiIlIards.

Judge Cation, late Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court OF Illinois, has written a letter to
Mr.. Phelan, OF Ne n York, which cannot fail to
interest those who amuse and exercise them
selves at this favorite game:-
OTTAWA, Ill.,, January 3.-MICHAEL PHELAN-
Dear Sir:-I take the liberty OF calling your
attention to a passage in the English transla-
ton, by O'Reilly, OF Able McGeorghegan's
History of Ireland" page 80, as furnishing
pretty authentic evidence that the game of bill
lizards was in use, at least in Ireland nearly one
thousand years before the return of the Knights
Templar to Europe from the first crusade,
which you give in your admirable work on
billiards as the first authentic date of the
author, Oh the page referred to- as he says,
"merely to show the singular tastes of those
early times" gives the substance of the will
of Cathrie More, a sub-kiug of Ireland, who
reigned over the district of Lienster, and
who died in the year A, d. l49. | quote:-
ITO Drimoth he bequeathed fifty billiard
balls of brass, with pools and cues of the
same materials; ten tictacs of exquisite
work manship; twelve chess boards, with
chess men," By-the-way can you inform
me what Is "tictac?" Does Dryden refer to it
when he says:-" Play attic, and lose the
Indies"-as we would say, "Play at pin and
lose Kingdom" TO show a violent contrast? !
confess TO feeling much interested in being car
ried back more than seventeen hundred years
and shown the amusements of people so far
removed from the centres of civilization, though
undoubtedly more learned and refined than any
other of the Northern nations. Here we find
them practising billiards and chess, which can
interest those only of cultivated minds and
tastes. Yours truly, j. D. CATION.

radical candidates for the municipal Offices
The radical white vote is 56. 1t is reported
that more than 1000 negro votes were re-
corded.
The following letter from Governor Pierpont
was received prior to the election:-

The President and the Lava,

Those who fear that President johnson will
refuse to carry out the provisions of the Mil.
tary Reconstruction bill may find a small verbal
grain Of comfort in the remark he makes in his
veto that he "will not uoIuntdriIy become a
eye on that clause of the Constitution which
requires that the President shdH execute the
laws of Congress, and which does not make il
necessary that he shall act voluntarily or ac.
cording to the internal motions of his own will.
1t is quite apparent from the Presidents words
that he anticipated that the action of Congress,
by the passage of the bill, would be such as 10
compel him 10 carry out its provisions, regard.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Chilian letters dated
at Coquimbo, February 4; Valparaiso, February
2, and Santiago, January rs, have been re-
ceiVed. The Government was deliberating on
scheme to raise money, and the English and
French Ministers had advised their countrymen
TO refuse payment of the contributions that are
ordered to be forced.
1t was highly improbable that any truce with
Spain would be entered into by the allies, and
the proposition 10 enforce loan was COndrma-
tory of reports to that effect II was well un-
derstood that propositions for mediation had
been received from Mr.. Seward, in which he
invites representatives OF the belligerent powers
TO washington for consultation, and suggests that
the President be authorized to appoint some
neutral power as umpire for the arrangement
of differences respecting international laws and
courtesies without, however, interfering with
the terms agreed upon between the interested
Powers The Chilian Government will con-
fer with her allies before accepting the
proposition; but 1t is probable that it will be
hnally accepted. There appears to be lack OF
hearty sympathy between Peru and Chill.
The issue of two million dollars in treasury
notes had been authorized by Chilli, and it was
probable that the sum would be augmented TO
1--WE millions. The United States steamer DR-
kota was in port The Tuscarora had gone to
the Feiee Islands to punish the savages for
some barbarities on American seamen. The
Nyack left for the southern coast on the Let

Etc. Etc.

Etc. Etc.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Mexican legation
have received communications from Vera Cruz
dated the 22d ultlmo. PorGrio Diaz has thrown
a portion OF his troops between Pueba and the
Capital, thus almost completely cutting off the
Transmission of mails.
The French left Puebla on the l6th, and it
was rumored that DiaZ had captured that city.
Macmillan and MARQUEE had left the capital at
the head of four thousand men, and impressions
prevailed that they were either going to the
coast or to Capitulate with JuareZ tor an armis
tice The communication also says tnat Maxi
milan, Marquee, Miramon, Mejia, Castillo, and
all their troops were completely defeated near
Queretaro on the 10th.
The French transports were arriving daily,
and the troops were embarklng with activity.
Almost all of the men who acted as MaXimilian's
Ministers are leaving the country. A Mexico
city correspondent says Macmillan and Mira
mon, with their troops, went in the direction OF
Queretaro on the l4th ult., and thought it pro-
bable that battle would soon be fought.
The probability is, therefore, that the report
referred to above OF their defeat by Escobedo on
the l6th refers 10 late battle, and not to the
former engagement at Aeuas Calientas. The
Liberals were closing in upon the capital, and
the commencement of siege was only ques-
ton OF d few days. The American Consul at
Vera Cruz had protested against the quarterlng
of French troops upon resident Americans, but
his communications were apparently ignored.
One American citizen was arrested for re.
fusing to supply quarters when called upon.
The protest finally had some effect, however,
and the quartering was discontinued. Only
one small United States bunboat was in port,
the Tahoma. About eight thousand tive hun
dred troops had already embarked for France.
Isham Harris the Tennessee Ex-Governor and
ex.Confederate, had gone to Havana. where, it
is supposed he is to meet Breckinridge, Mason,
Slidell, Benjamin and others.
