The CoNFEssIoN ORA MURDEREss- Mrs.
Lena Miller, who was hung at Clearfeld, Penn,
last month, for the murder of her husband,
made a full confession before the day Of exeeu-
ton. She said: as'ss I
first thought of numbering my husband in
the summer Of 1865. i tried first to poison
him with tea made with laurel leaves and the
filings of abrass buckle. Then with the quick
silver off the back of a locking glass; Then
gave him, In two doses, a bottle OF laudanum.
which got from DR.. Potter for the cramp.
Then, one day, going after the cows, I killed q
small, green grass snake, which Ib0iled and
gave to him in coffee All these things were
given either in tea or coffee, according as one
or other was used at meals. Nope of them
had the least effectfJpon him-did not even
make him sick. The tune occupied Ia giving
them all was about four weeks. | then gave it
up, because did not know of anything which
would kill him. But thought Of it every day,
and 8could not get it out. of my mind, trying to
think Of something 20 poison him with. At last
remembered some of the neighbors had got
something at the store to poison rats with.
She then narrates the final Accomplishment
other wicked purpose; by means Of the " rat
poisOn, or arsenic. although it required
dosing" with it for about two weeks before
her husband succumbed to the poison and she
had purchased the second lot before she heard
the death4rattle in his threat,

REBELLIoUs.-The P:ttsburg pa. Com
asercidE is leading Radical organ in that State,
butt rebels against the ultra RadicaIism Of
Wade, Sumner. and Stevens, as .the following
will show. It says:: - $3.50
4. Senator Wade is reported as having said that
he did not dream that Ohio would decide
against negro suffrage. There is frankness at
hast in this confession. The misi1terpretation
which the SeHator gave to public sentiment in
his own State should teach him something;
and the lesson should not be lost on those who
have made following him, and others like him,
the test Of loyalty to the Republican party and
its principles. But the vehemence with which
the Ohio Senator, in the next breath, utters
his edicts and opinions, leaves little room for
hoping that either his mistake or the lesson it
teaches will not be lost. There is one thing,
however, that will prove true the Senator and
his set viii not hereafter berabe tOsbadger the
or a line of policy at variance with private
judgment and in excess of public opinion and
reason besides. Mr.. Wade may declaim as
arrOgantly and cOarsely as ever, Mr.. Sumner
may be never SO 0racular, and Mr. Stevens
may lay down the line and rule with all the
dictatOrial force he can command; the Repub-
hcan party, admonished by the people, will
shape its course independent of such influence.

A RADICAL BURsT.-The Marysyille 4p-
peal, in its impOtent rage over the late Radical
defeats, says: IS s

JEFF. Davis, or any one of his bowers, is elect

By JEFF Davis {. bowers is meant Pendle-
ton, Seymour, Vallandigham, and other noble
Democrats. The appeals froth intimates a
Radical rebellion in case Of the election Of q
Democratic President, then. So it seems to be
the peculiar right Of Radicals to rise in arms
against Democratic President. but it is rank
treason for any to rebel against Radical Pres

Government, this sort of tanatcal traitors will
