Thaddeus Stevens, Grave.

Several years ago when the Lancaster Cemetery
was incorporated, Mr.. Stevens purchased two lots,
for which deed was duly executed. Some years
later in loeng over his papers he noticed, for the
first time the clause prohibiting the interment Of
eol0red people IL. the cemetery he at once con-
veyed the lots TO The company with his reasons, and
asked that they be put upon the record. A short
time ago he purchased couple of lots in Wood
ward Hill Cemetery, and when the deeds were
handed to him he noticed similar clause excluding
the burial of people of color. The brave old man
declared that he could not consent to have his bones
laid in a cemetery where any of Gods children
were excluded for no fault Of their own, and he
promptly returned the deeds He then, only few
days ago, selected a lot in Shreiners Cemetery"
where no such distinction is made among the dead,
and there will the dust Of the Old Commoner re-
pose-not we trust, however, until he has seen the
great work Of reconstructing the nation on an en-
during basis Of liberty and equal rights, which he
has so long and constantly labored for trurnph-
antly contaminated.
History records no instance Of sublimer devotion
10 principle than is exhibited in this incident in the
private fife of Mi. Stevens.-LGHoaster Express.

A Brutal Murder in ROane County.

Two GIRLS MURDER THEIR STEP MOTHER
On Saturday the 9th inst, says the
Kingston East Tennesseean: A most shock
ing and brutal murder was committed in
Paint Rock Settlement, 9th civil District of
this county, which, for brutality and fiend-
ishness, surpasses anything of the kind that
we have ever been called upon TO chroni-
Gle.
1t appears that Mrs Hicks and her two
step-daughters, named respectively Mary
and Kazia, had for some time lived I'M
pleasantly together, when the two daughters
determined to put her out Of the way Ac-
cordingly with this murderOus intent, they
forcibly conveyed their unfortunate victim
to the smoke house near by, and common
ced series of fortunes that oven the YER
lest savage would have shrunk back from
and grown hideous at-such was the enor-
nifty of their barbarity and wickedness.
They first attempted to strange their vic
tina to death, but failing in that the fends
in human shape bethought themselves of a
mere refined, as well as expeditions mode
of accomplishing their object, which was to
pour melted lead into the ear Of their helpless
victim, and then to make assurance doubly
sure, these devoted daughters struck the
PROSTATE and dying woman several blows
on the head with an axe
Surprising the old lady dead or dying
having finished the "job"-the christian
daughters left their mother woltcring in
her blood, andwent to-church.
Some of the neighbors soon after, coming
in, found Mrs. Hicks in the condition the
daughters had left her, administered res
toratives, and revived her sufficiently to
relate the above detailed facts
We learn that Mrs. Hicks has since died
of her injuries, and that the murderers are
still at large, having secreted themselves so
as to prevent the officers of the law from
arresting them.

The Hedlds Washington special says it 10
reported that Sir Frederick Bruce has been

RENTED.
The Times special says that Gen. Howard
testified before The Judiciary Committee con-
cerning the restoration Of abandoned rebel
property. he had himself prepared the orig
ignal orders for restoration and submitted
them to the President for approval. When
they we're returned to him he found them so
much mpdifed aud changed as to establish a
policy altogether different from the one be
had recommended.
1t appears that the further inquiry as to the
LOYALTY of Gov. Thomas, U. s. Senator elect
of Maryland, has been postponed until next
session.
.-lhe Tribtns's special denounces the late
reconstfuction ratification meeting at Colam-
bia, S. c., addressed by Wade Hampton, as
q farce, and snys the negro Beverly Wash
and his followers are regarded as copper
heads.
Gen. Saxtou in his testimony before the
Judiciary Committee concerning the restora-
ton Of property to rebels in South Carolina,
said he acted upon direct orders issued
through the War Department, by the Presi
dent Of the United States. The amount oi
this property was very large, as il consisted
Of houses, lands, &c, which had been aban.
doned by the rebels. All the property in the
hands of the treasury agents sefxed during
the rebellion, and which had been turned
over to Gen. Saxton, was also surrendered to
the rebels by order of the President The
Committee have gone very fully into thi,
question, and the evidence thus far elected
shows that hundreds Of millions of dollars
worth of property have been turned over Il
leading rebels without any warrant.
