Eccentric Murders.

The papers have set afloat a tale, which
for violent improbability exceeds all the in
ventions of sensational writer's; yet it's truth is
maintained, and the incidents it relates, it is
said, arise from the basis of a forthcoming
trial. Two friends, one q clergyman and the
other a talOr-strange intimacy between the
cloth and its cutter--iall out and turn to bitter
enemies. They part, and live sundered by
miles, the clergyman's parting words to
his quondam friend being to the effect
that he hoped, in the lapse of year, he
might see him dead, and rejoice over his
corpes. Exactly year runs out, aud to the
day comes communication to the vindic-
tive clergyman, informing him that his bitter
wish was accomplished. The tailor was dead
Away starts the minister to gloat over the
visible fact. He reaches the house of death,
finds the widow weeping beside the coffin,
which be wants TO open that he may vent his
exultation over the poor, cold remains of his
foe. While he is insisting on this brutal
satisfaction, the lid of the coffin rises, the
pail is thrown aside and the tailor in the
enjoyment Of every function and fa-
Guilty of life, assais the clergyman,
and kills him on the spot. He is
then huddled into the coffin in the place of
the supposed defunct, and finally buried in
his stead. The tailor had to wander away
from the scene of this act of retribution, but
was soon after recognized, and is now to be
put on his Trial Tor the murder. Such strange
deeds, have, from time to time come to light.
and there is just bare possibility this strange
story may have a foundation of truth. A Rus
sian story relates that, according to Russian
custom, when any one dies, the body of the
deceased, on the day previous to the inter
ment, is brought to a church where a priest
passes the night IN prayer for the dead
mans soul. The priest iu this instance was
accompanied by a chOrster, and was in the act
OF repeating the usual prisons, when, to his
intense surprise, he beheld the body rise from
its coffin, and advance towards him. Rushing
to the font, he sprinkled the dead man with
holy water, adding all the formulje of exor-
csm he was acquainted with; but in vain.
The corpse seized the priest, threw him on the
ground, and III the end slew him, a task
already half done to his hand, no doubt by
sheer fright. Having given itself this satisfac-
tion, the body again quietly resumed its place
in the coffin; and the young chorister,
who had witnessed the whole scene from
behind a pillar, whittier he had retreated,
stole away to recount this extraordinary in
stance of post mortem terocity. For a long
time the affair remained an ineXplcable mys-
terry, when a maletactor about to suffer for his
misdeeds, making a clean breast of all his
crimes, confessed that, having grudge against
the priest, he had entered the church unseen,
and taken the place of the corpse, dressing
himself in its garments. Having dispatched
his enemy, he reinstated the body in lis
former position, and left the church as he had
entered it. Once. Week.

vigorously canvassing. The Republicans are jubi-
liant over Northern electons-the Democrats dis
appointed but determined, and are confident of

foral and congressional parties in the field. The
Republican electoral ticket has Byron Latin, of
New York, and A. II. Galloway, negro or mu-
latto, on Is; the rest are native whites. The
Democratic electors are all native whites, and all
enfrsnchised. The Republican congressional
ticket has all natives, except David Heaton, OF
Wisconsin, and j. F. Devices, of Indiana. aud Mr..
Boyden, who runs on the Republican ticket, iude-
pendent, but supports Grant. The Democratic
CONGRESSIONAL ticket are all natives.
Gov. Holden has suspended the order organi.
zing detailed militia. Gen. Mills has distributed
the fourth regiment of United states negro troops
as follows Two companies at Raleigh; two at
Goldsboro'; one at Weldon; one at Plymouth
one at Fayetteville; one at Salisbury, and one at
Charlotte.
One company Of white troops Of heavy artil.
lerymen, armed as infantry. arrived here on Sat

suspicion entertained by Gov. Holden and Gen.
Mills about Democratic organizations arming
themselves.

political circles that President johnson and Chief
Justice Chase are both intriguing to secure the
withdrawal of the Democratic ticket, and the sub

The National Intelligencer's article is believed to
unusual number Of politicians are congregating.
Last night Mr.. Chase gave supper TO his friends,
and IL is believed the scheme was discussed. Mr..
Chase thinks the Democrats will now be willing
to unite on him, and that ne can carry enough
Republicans in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to secure
those States Mr.. johnson thinks he can control
the action of most of the Southern States. and
get all the Northern States which are likely to 60
Democratic. These plaDs are given out as mere
gossip, and receive ltts or no attention from the
Democratic leaders. The Radicals, however, are

Mobbipg OF n Newspaper once.

FRANKLIN, La, Oct. l9-The Office of the Alta
kapas Register was entered last night by un.
known parties, the press destroyed and the type
scattered over the streets. The editor and printer
left for New Orleans this morning on the Peerless.
The citizens of Franklin and the surrounding
country are doing all in their power to preserve
order. The negroes have made some very bold
threats, but they have not as yet attempted to
execute them. The town and parish are perfect
ly quiet at present, as far as known here.
