A Whole RnmiIy Poisoned.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10, ls6s.-An atrocious
attempt to murder m entire family, in
Guiding the husband, wife, and three
children, by the administration Of strych-
nine, was made in this city yesterday at
noon. The head ofthe family is Andrew
Stang, one of the wealthiest Germans in
the city, and his daughter Elizabeth,
about sixteen. is under arrest as the
p~oisoner. 1t is believed that the desire
to accumulate, bordering nearly on
ararice on the part Of the old people,
was the impelling cause which led the
young girl to attempt to take the life of
her relations. She complains bitterly
of having been overworked and ill
treated because she did not earn sufi-
cient money to suit the grasping notions
other parents. The poison was brought
into the house by the girl, and accord
ing to the statement of one Of the child

the other hand, the girl alleges that the
mother put the poison into the coffee.
Tho victimsare the husband, Mrs. Stang,
Margaret, IL years of age, Rose 10, and
Andrew 4 years. They will probably

TIE New York Times says that it is a
little dangerous to entrust railroad con-
ductors with plenary power in enforcing
arbitrary rules-particularly when the
company have no right in the world to
make the rules. In Minnesota, the tele-
graph tells US, q school-teacher named
Conner was put of the cars for failing
to pay the extra ten cents ex"cted for
no. buying his ticket at the station
and was frozen to death. 1t does not
even say that he refused to pay
but "failed." Railway companies are
authorized to charge a certain rate per
mile for transportation over their roads;
but the manner of its payment is not de-
fined, and the failure Of passengers to
use the regular station offices, (often, as
it happens, by no fault of theirs gives
no right for tho imposition of u fine.
It is like the statement on car tickets,
that " this Company will not be respon-
sible for any baggage over the value Of
$780," These arbitrary rules are we'll
enough, perhaps, to make passengers
careful of the company's convenience;
bu, when i. comes to an absolute en-
forcement of them, the passengers have
some rights to be respected also. And
here is = man frozen to death for ten
cents.

THE REPATRIATION QUESTION.

We received, by overland mail ycster-
day afternoon, a Washington paper,
frauked by Speaker Colfax, dated Jan
uary 2sd, which contained the following
bill, so applicable to the objects con-
templated by the public mass meeting
held at the Opera House last Sunday
afternoon; and at which some Of the
speakers severely denounced Congress
and Secretary Seward. 1t seems that
Congress has anticipated expressions Of
opinion on the subject from the Pacific
coast, and that it is more wide-awaks
than it has been given credit for. Here
is the bill, which we find in the Con-
gressional proceedings Of January 23d
A BILL YoR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICANS
ABROAD.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs Of the

ing bill, which will be reported BY General
