The Murderer Trodg on Confessss,

We are officially informed that the muir.
derer, Trodgon, has made full confession
to certain parties Of the diabolcal murder
of which he is charged.
He states that he fell in company with his
victim at Moravia, and learned there, o
other parties, that he had the money on hi,
person, and procured a quart Of whisky fol
the purpose Of rendering Tedar drunk: using
that up by the time they got 10 Blakesburg
he there bought another quart, and by the
time they had arrived at or near the house OIL
David Burton, the unsuspecting victim be-
came thoroughly drunk-so much so as &c
take out his money aud hand it over 10 frog
don, while he laid down in his wagon: and
by the time they had got to the foot Of the
| hill, between Burton and johnson houses,
Tedar had become totally unconscious and
going 10 sleep, laying on his face in the
wagon. when Trogdon deliberately took GU,
his revolver and shot him in the back of the
head, in plain view of Johuson's house, and
not more than two hundred yards distant, in
| broad daylight
| When asked why he didn't simply rob him
and spard the poor man life. he answered
that he knew 1edar would soon recover, and
that desiring the horses, and believing in the
old adage that dead men tell no tales r. he
concluded to kill him.
| After committing the horrible deed he
| threw Tedar in ravine, took the two horses
and went back to Blakesburg, where he got
his supper. fed his horses. and went to Capt
Swiggett's store and bous bit an overcoat and
cap, and from there went to Bloomfield via

we read in our childhood, and whose image
was wildly impressed by that earliest remem-
bered wood>cut in Webster's Spelling book,
teaching the young sauce box to come down,
was undoubtedly a vicious old Radical. He

Thad. Stevens, who, having witnessed the
utter ineficiency::of grass, now proposes to
resort TO some harder substance to bring the

The Conservatives seek to conserve the in

a decided preference for conserving his own

Right Principles.

The great movement which is known to the world as
Fenanism is neither less than the natural
sequence of the very peculiar position in which the
majority of the Irish people placed For strange
it may appear it fact that not much less than two
thirds of their entire number are exiles from the land
which, above all Others they have right to call their
own And of these it is we'll known that large pro-
portion residents in and few of them citizens
of, the American Republic.
We have called this peculiar position And SO it is
When, in the worlds history, any other race OR
nation similarly crcumstanced? Not perhaps since the
exed of Israel hung their haps the willows by
the waters of Babylon. Nor is the simitude confined
tothe external situations extends the feengsexperi
enced Sorrowful remembrance of a ruined country an
earnest desire see justice done upon the
and an undying hope that the oppressed and injured
shall yet regain their own.
In one prominent point, however, the resemblance
fails. The expatriated Hebrews were captives in an
enemys country We are freemen in land Of friends.

material better than the old pixies and shieahs that
used to ornament the Head Cente office before he began
to grid the sword which his coward hand is afraid to
use! Who elected what they call Directory? By
what authority do they speak for any portion of
people? Shall we give up principle, and violate our
laws to please every swindng fconst that chooses to
bark at us from his filthy kennel?
1t is scarcely necessary to bother the organization
further about this matter The best thing to do with
sinking carrion is to bury it out Of sight.
Let every Circle which has worked for "prnciples
and not men," gird up their oins for the coming Con-
gress and if there any reconstruction needed that is
the time, and there is the place for it, Let the proper
officers to it that but the Circles who have been
faithful to shall participate in the proceedings
of the coming Congress- There may have been honest
men, supporting those antiquated chiefs and fiery grns;
but if they were honest they must have been conounded
fools. We want of mind and judgment with us; !;
let donkeys and wolves herd together now, they have
done in the past and let the fools be devoured by the
knaves they always have BEEN Let every Circle then
they love their country send good representative to
the next Congress-
There may have been excuse for honest men to lend
their support to those knaves while they believed they
were working directly for ireland, and supporting
imaginary organization there We know that, in too
many instances, the talismanc sound of fights in Ire
land has outweighed the good judgment of portion
of our people
The action of the home organization recently taken,
when they repudated those parties here who have pre-
tended to represent them Ireland leaves excuse for
those good who have worked for ireland Direct"
with false leaders, remain any longer aoof from
the only organization that has the power inclination
to serve Ireland" To such extend the hand Of
fellowship, matter how we may have differed Let
those decevers who prate about the necessity of bring
ing "leader of talent and character to take
under control understand that tits not for them to
say who the Fenan Brotherhood shall put into position
Nor is it in the hands of the officers who at the
head, to say who shall who shall not be leader We
do not say this for moment imagining that officers
think differently from ourselves but to let the world
that the Fenan Brotherhood through its representatives
are the only parties to decide on all such affairs.
&c. let those ateconsg,cted cavaliers, both North and
South apply themselves to some honest mode of living
for the first time in their lives The days of professional
patriotism gone. Those unemployed leaders not
wanted by the B. B. They have been tried and they
cost too much. On thing resolved that the
pckpocket shall not take the public purse twice.

This is the first annual Thanksgiving da,

press to almighty God your gratitude FOL
the prtssrua,ina by Him, Of your Order.
First, since its organization in the world
Second, during the lalc war which convul
sed our Union; Third, through the pas
auspicious year.
Individuals have their hereafter. Gov
crnmcrts, institution aud associations exist,
as such, only in this world. The reward o,
punishment Of the individual is reserved
for eternity. That of government, insti
tuition or organization may be administered
in time, by its continuation or overthrow. II
God, therefore, permit, any organization tt
continue through ages, it must be because
he sees in it some feature that he approves,
and desires to use for the bcttcring Of the
condition Of man. An organization SC
widespread as that of the Odd-Fcllows, cs-
pecially in England and America, canno,
have escaped His notice. For good or fol
evil, it must exert mighty influence in
both countries. II God had not seen
in it some feature to- approve, or else, some
power which he might use to scourgc the
sins Of rcbcllious creatures, lie would have
caused il to crumble long ere this; and now
it would DO numbered among the things
that have passed into history.
That you exist to-day as an organization
80 widely cxtcndcd therefore, is evidence
that you possess some feature in theory or
practice, which God designs to use for the
elevation Of The human race. That feature
wo think is the embrace, as a Fundamental
principle, Of christian charity, the subjec,
Of our text. Hence we invite your attcn.
