CRIME.
A Man Shot by a Mob and then Hung.

On last Friday night, says the Missouri VAL
ley Register, near midnight, party OF armed
men came up to where Bill Rudd was standing,
in a street of Waverly, and fired half dozen
shots into his body. killing him instantly. They
then took his body and passed out of town.
In the morning it was found hanging to tree
in the edge of the woods.
His mouth was stuffed full of tow, and the
rope by which he was suspended was passed
through his mouth and then around his neck.
The body was taken down and an inquest held.
We have not heard the officers statement. We
understand that no evidence was introduced
which tended to the identification of the perpe-
traitors.
Since this shooting we have heard several
different statements about who is to blame for
the lawless condition of Waverly, and we do not
know who to believe. One thing We are satisfied
of, strangers and radicals have not been safe
there since the war, and never will be until the
people learn 10 obey the law.
The man killed had been Confederate soldier
in the regular service rom the first to the last
of the war. His friends say that the BUSH
whackers were his enemies, and that they killed
him. His enemies say that he was robber and
an habtual disturber of the peace.

Outrage by the Rebel Democracy.

The Morgautown (Va.) Post of July 25 says:
We are informed that on Sabbath last, July
10Th inst, a party of the Rebel Democracy in
Clay township, in this county, went to q church
on Day IS run, where a col gregation was assem-
bled and engaged in religious worship, and
after stripping themselves of their outer cloth
ing burst open the door and cursed all Union
men and soldiers who were there, and dared
and defed them to come out and engage in a
conflict. They were all armed; and swore that
they were prepared to fight for the Southern
Confederacy. They wore the Rebel badge OF
red, white, and red, and declared that 1t wa'
the badge OF their principles. They carried
their demonstration so far that the minister, til
Rev. j. b. Henderson, was compelled to dlscoI
tinue the services, aud with a part OF the COZ
eregaton retired to the woods and conclud
the meeting.
The rebels asserted that they intended to car
out their purposes of wearing rebel badges,
that they could have two regiments OF arm
men on short notice to assist them.

NOVA SCOTIA.
Feeling Against the Confederation with
CaRRda-spIrAted Protest Aga1nst the
Decision OF the British Parliament.

The correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Halifax, N. S., July 20, says:--
In this part of the New Dominion we are on
the eve of stirring times. The agitation for
repeal OF the union of Nova Scotia With Canada
is growing warmer every day, and now that the
demands of the people of the Province for the
restoration Of their legislative independence
have been positively and finally refused by the
Imperial Government and the British Parla-
likely to be pursued by the Provincial Assembly,
on the meeting of the local Legislature next
month. 10 say that the people are dissatisfied
with the present state of things would be to use
much too mild a term as descriptive of the
popular feeling, They seem resolved to take no
denial OF their demand for severance of the
connection with Canada, and they do not hesi-
tate 10 declare that, sooner than submit to q
compulsory union they Will throw of their
allegiance 10 the British Crown, and seek annex
alton to the United States.
On Wednesday last the delegates who had
been sent to England by the Nova Scotia Legis.
latuTe to plead the cause Of repeal at the oar of
the British House OF Commons, arrived here by
the steamer from Liverpool, and on landing
met with AN enthusiastic reception. There came
in the same vessel with them, DR.. Topper, one
of the leading promoters OF confederation, who
had gone to England as the representative OF
the very small minority In the colony who
desire continuance of the Union. The Nova
scouans are well pleased with the manner in
which the delegates have discharged the duty
with which they were charged, and although
they have not brought back the answer which
the people expected from Britain, 1t is felt and
admitted by all that the fault is not theirs.
1t must not be supposed that the cry of anneXa-
tion TO the United States has been raised merely
for temporary political effect, and that 1t has no
serious purpose in 1t. On the contrary, 1t seems

PITTsDURG, July pa terrific oil explosion
occurred last night at the Album Oil Works of
Lafferty & Waring, three miles from the city,
resulting in the death of young man named
James Gungle, and the probably fatal injury of
Robert LafIerty, one of the proprietors. The
still man is missing, and is supposed to have
been killed. The accident was caused by plug
at the bottom of one of the tanks being loose
and oil running out, which caught fire from the
furnaces communicating to eight other tanks,
causing terrible explosion. The works were

Austrian Politics whs visit OF the Queen

marks:-The German journals have ter some
time been much preoccuped with the shooting
match which ls to take place at Vienna at the
end of the month. A general expectation pre-
walls that the occurrence will not pass over
without some political manifestations OF a
character more or less hostile to Prussia.
The Austrian Government, however desirous
it may be to avoid everything of nature to
give um bragg TO neighboring power, has had
to declare that it could not possibly prevent the
projected meeting without violating the interior
laws of the Cis Lothian Counties and without
injury to the commercial interests of the capt.
tai. which necessarily expects to derive profit
from the meeting. The most singular point IS
that this institution Is of Prussan origin, as the
Schwerin Ministry conceived the idea OF it in
1859 and orGanlzed 1t at that period in connec
ton with the famous association OF the National
VereiD.

says:-The Prince Royal of Prussia arrived here
to-day on his way to the Chateau OF Renhards-
brunn, known for It's romantic situation in the
midst OF the forest OF Thuringia. The Princess,
with her infant Children has already been iu-
stalled there a week. The Queen of England,
who was at first expected to pay visit to the
castle, will not do so; she will, on the contrary,
arrive during the first week OF next month at

subject was signed and ratified on the l4th at

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.
The President and his Friends,

WASHINGTON, July 29.--Some of the Presidents
conservative friends, like Senators Henderson
and Fowler, are fearful that he will do some
thing during the recess which will falsfy the
predictions they made during the impeachment
trial of his promised good behaviour. 1t is
understood that before leaving for their homes
they intend to advise him not to make an dd
interim appointment in the Internal Revenue
Bureau, and also to recognize, far as possible,
the State organizations at the South. These are
the rocks on which it is thought he will split.
Whether he will take the advice of men like
Fowler and Henderson remains to be seen.
