MuRDER.-We call especial notice to the
Murder" adv. in this issue. JOHN Minor,
a miller of Smithfeld, miles west Of
Monona, was killed on Saturday last by
j. Harrison Stafford. There was an old
difficulty in the property-way, and there
may have been an older one of another
character. Minot was struck by Stafford
in the head, with an axe. lie lived q few
hours. Stafford fed; it is supposed he
took down boat here. Handbills were got
out. Sheriff Townsend and Dep. Conway
of Alamakee were here but no trace could
be got of Stafford. S. is said to have been
one of the most reliable of men until this
transpired. One Thousand dollars reward
will find him ! t...a ~ =

On Sunday last we had the pleasure to
attend the church Of Father Richard Ma
gle, Of this city. Wepersona,ixe the church
thus beeasse it, erection and support are
mostly derived from his indomitable exer-
Gen~. Persuasive and kind to those with
whom he may differ in creed stern to
sach of his own belief as need severe ad-
inonition, and yet tender in advice and gen.
tie in reproof to those of his faith who try
to be good, we regard him as moral and
social necessity here, and, changing our
views somewhat from few years past, We
trurt he may always remain with US.
Well; We attended church, not for the
first time either. Rt. Rev. Bishop HEN
Messy, Of this Catholic Diocese, assisted
by Father NAGLE and Father Lux, the lat
ter Of the Prai. du Chen church, went
through the High Mass ceremonies, Father
Lux acting the principal part as dictator.
Our baptism at six-wecks old, and slight
neglect Of religious matters since, may
cause us to forget the use of proper ex-
planatory words, but our meaning is all
right. After the ceremonial part was con-
cludcd-tho Choir accompanying with very
excellent singing-thc Bishop read pas
sage embodying the account Of the Concep-
ton of the Virgin Mary. Ills discourse
we never heard superiorcd. A gifted ora
tor, an accomplished scholar, logical rca-
soner, a man of fine address, well read in
biblical history, in general literature, in
the plainness of common sense ideas as
piring only to be MAN and very plain
one too, his sermon was Great one. We
attempt no defense of it's argumentative
part farther than to say z: If MARY was
the Mother Of Our Saviour by Miraculous
Conception, and if the whole Christian the
DRY is based on this fact and His subse-
quent Cruciixion for our sins, certainly
the Parent, the Spouse Of the Holy Ghost,
the receptacle Of Him who suffered for US
all, is entitled to regard closely border
ing on worship! Yet, Catholics do not
worship her. They respect, venerate her,
and invoke her intercession for them. As
You venerate the mother who bore you,
and delight to sec picture of her, so, but
more in degree, does the Catholic dcvotee
venerafe the Mother of the Saviour Of
Man, whose Father was GOD!
But, we are not a religionist. Our bu-
siness has been too much tumbled up with
i. the bothers of political discussion. This
occasion has drawn out ideas which we al
ways entertained and which no one can
very well turn over unless he upsets the
basis of Christianity. Our special reli-
gious opinions would not hurt anybody,
though We wish all beings in human form
were active workers for the principles ut
tered by that Great Character who spoke
on The Mount, and laid down his life to
sare perverse people.
In the afternoon the Bishop confirmed q
large number Of young peoplc-the girls
dressed in white and looking as pure as
angels. An Address from the Bishop,
impressing the Importance of the obi
cations the young flock had taken, was
eloquent, advisory and very Shepherd-like.

Next week our election returns will
probably be complete. We are now look

past. One Hundred Thousand radical loss

such haul and the next presidency is Sc

ton unless they bow down to the bond

now de7olves the task Of disentangliDg mass
Of the most contradictory and variable testimony
that was ever produced in court Of Justice
If any conclusion can be arrived at from the
course now being pursued by the prosecution
il is that they are not satisfied that they have
clearly proved Surratt's presence here on the
day OF the assassination, for they do not seem
to RELY upon the direct charge of murder, but
upon a charge of conspiracy to murder. This
was manifest from the points submitted on
Friday by District Attorney Darlington and
upon which he based labored argument
One Of the most notable circumstances OF the
trial is the wide difference of opinion existing
between the counsel for the defence and the
court upon legal points. The defence have
bad occasion to except to nearly one hundred
