Another murder was committed in Phila-
delphia, on Tuesday afternoon of last week.
Mrs. Magilton, aged SO years was murdered
In her own house, by young man named
Winnemore. The murderer had not yet left
the premises when the husband OF Mrs.
Magilton returned after an absence of about
an hour, and found his wife murdered
Winnemore was arrested and after hearing
was committed for trial. Mrs. Magilton was
known to have two SO bills in her pocket
In the morning,-these were gone and two
bills of the same denomination found in the
possession of Winnemore. The murderer
accomplished his great crime by beating his
victim over the head, fracturing the scull in
several places, and afterwards cutting her
throat with razor. He had visited the
house of his victim frequently during o
month past, he having made the accuain-
tance of the Magilton family at meeting
of spiritualists.

THE Washington Chronicle says that
the rolling stock, &C., of Southern Railroads
turned over to the former owners of those
roads by the Presidents order, were official
ly valued at $7,663, ,223, whereof but 81 1884,
l46 had been paid at the date of the last
report. The Chronicle adds:
$50 little do the persons who have been
made the benefciares of Presidential liberal
ity appreciate his kindness, that one of their
first acts, after the newly-buit roads, with
their splendid engines and substantial roll
Ing stock, had been restored to them, was
to discharged all the employees of Northern
birth. The President of the Western and
Atlanta Railroad, who has his headquarters
at Atlanta, Georgia, as soon as that improve
ment was turned over to him, on the Sth Of
August, 1865, dismissed all the employees of
Northern birth, on the ground that the SEN
timent of the people of Georgia would not
permit him to retain Northern men in any
capacity"

THR ODD FELLOWS THANKsaIvINa.-Fri-
day last being the day set apart as Nation
al Thanksgiving, by the l. o. of o. F., we
notice by our exchanges, was generally OBJ
served by the Order throughout the country.
In the cities and larger towns particularly
divine service was attended by large num-
bers, and in some instances the day was
made the occasion for parades, orations, &c.
1t is stated that the largest and most i'm
posing display of the kind, ever witnessed
in Washington city, took place on that day,
some 1900 members of the order being in
procession. Grand master Carey, of Balti-
more, delivered the Grafton at the National
Theatre, in which he stated the receipts of
of the order throughout the country, for the
year ending with July last, were 81, 800, 900;
of which 100000 was expended in burials,
$4,000 for the relief of the widows and
orphans, and $630,000 for the relief of breth-
rem in distress. Two hundred and seventy
widows and orphans of deceased members
of the Order occupied seats in the Theatre
during the ceremonies.

The Richmond Times recently made come
remarks which were considered too incen-
diary by General Schofeld, and he yester-
day informed the editor that he must not
do'so any more.
An attempt was made recently to blow up
the ice bridge at Quebec, across the st.
Lawrence river, but it failed, and the bridge
still remains firm and is over fifty feet thick.
The country between Montreal and Quebec
is flooded in consequence Of the accumula-
tion of ice.
1t is believed that the next monthly state
ment of the national debt will exhibit re-
duction of from S5,000,000 to $4,000, 900,
during the month, with an amount of $780,
100000 coin in the Treasury, and ga ,000,-

The warlike Cable dispatches which we
have been receiving for some time from
Europe, and which stated that Count Bis
marck had sent an ultimatum to France, that
both countries were arming, and that war
was almost certain, are now succeeded by
the announcement that Louis Napoleon has
submitted more moderate demands, that the
Queen of England had urged upon the King
of Prussia to take the new French PROPOSE
tions into consideration, that Prussia had
complied with this request, and that on the
18th of May Peace Conference of represen-
tatives of all the great Powers of Europe is
| to meet in London. The basis of the Con-
ference proceedings will he the neutraliza-
tion of the Grand Duchy, and the dismant-
| ling of the fortress.
1t will be remembered that the whole
complication arose out of the steps taken
by the French Government for the purchase
of the Grand Duchy Count Bismarck open
| ly declared in the German Parliament that
Prussia claimed no right to compel Luxem-
burg to enter the North German confedera-
ton, though he insisted that Prussia had q
treaty right to garrison the fortress. The
original desiSn of France having been baf-
fled, Prussia, on her part, declared readi-
ness to withdraw her troops from the for
| tress.
The meeting of Peace Conference is in
| itself but little guarantee for the conclusion
of peace. The London Peace Conference of
April s, 1864, did not prevent the continue
ton of the Scheswig- Holstein war, as in
our own country the Peace Confidence at
Washington did not prevent the outbreak
of the Rebellion. But if the naturalization
of Luxemburg and the dismantling of the
fortress have beer agreed upon, there re-
mains comparatively little to quarrel about,
and the friends of peace may reasonably in
dulge the hope that war for the present
| may be avcrted-M Y Tribune.

Starvation in the SOuth-A Terrible
SlOFy.

A letter to the Southern Relief Commits
sion, dated Woodstock, Tuscaloosa county,
Alabama, April IL, says:
"In our deplorable situation, being almost
destitute of food and clothing, without any
hope of relief by providential combination
of circumstances, the news of your benevo-
lent organization came to us, whereupon we
called meeting of our citizens and organ
lied our society, called the Hepzibah Relief
Society, in the county, thirty miles from the
city of Tuscaloosa, consisting of about two
hundred and seventy-fve heads of families,
averaging five to each family, equal to one
thousand three hundred and seventy five
souls, to make application to you for help
to keep us from starvation and we hereby
humbly appeal to your Christian generosity
for help.
"Our language is not sufficient to describe
to you the thousandth part of our suffering
our children without clothing or bread,
or the means of education, in which situa.
tion we implore you not to let us remain.
Help US speedily for mercy and humanity s
sake, and God will bless you for SO doing.
If our leading politicians did precipitate us
into an unholy and unnatural war, it was
| not our fault. If you knew how many of
us struggled against that measure, you could
not cherish an unkind feeling against us.
Our sons, brothers, husbands and fathers,
were hunted down like wild beasts, and
dragged in chains to the fields of deadly
conflict; and many for refusing to go were
shot down like dogs and left to feed the
vultures of the air.
| "Gentlemen, this is no fancy picture.
The war devastated our country, and in ad-
dition thereto failure of crop last year
leaves us in an awful condition, and can
you or will you refuse us our relief9 ]

ISECONsTRUCTION.
Attempt 10 Get an Injunction from
the Supreme Court.

New YORK, April 30, 1s67.--A special
dispatch to the Herald from Washington
says Walker, Sharkey, Jenkins and other
parties here, who are endeavoring to get an
Injunction from the Supreme Court, against
the Presidents execution of the reconstruc-
tion laws of Congress, are confident, it is
said, of succeeding in their object They
count Judges for and against the injunction,
and triumphantly declare, in advance, that
the majority will be on their side-that is
to say, out of the nine Judges FIVE will be
for injunction 70 four against, the division
OF the court being the same as in the Milli-
gan case. OF course the decision of the ma
jority is the verdict of the Court. 1t is
intimated that the President anticipates
such decision and even desires it, hoping
in this way to defeat the purpose of Con,
gress and to carry out his own policy.

1t is reported that the Peace Conference
which is to assemble in London on the 10Th
of May will consist of the representatives of
France, Prussia, England, Austria, and Rus
Ella, and of the King of Holland, as Grand
duke of Luxemburg. Italy, which has now
over 24,000,000 of Inhabitants, and which
on other occasions has been treated as one
of the great Powers, is not mentioned among
the Powers which will be represented in
London. The basis for the deliberations of
the Conference is said to provide that the
present boundaries of France shall not be
enlarged, and tqat the Notifications of Lux
emburg shall be evacuated or dismantleG.
The Conference is to decide upon the future
status of the Grand Duchy, and to guarantee
this decision. If the dispatch is correct, the
Grand Duchy is permanently lost for France,
but not yet for Germany.
