Fearful stories are told in the Mex
lean papers of the deeds of a brigand
leader named Leon Chavez. whose
crimes thus far have been without
parallel in the history of that perse-
cuted nation. One of his recent ex-
ploits is thus narrated by a Guadala-
jara correspondent "A short time
since, while attending a dance in one
of the San Pedro gardens, several of
the beautiful daughters of our wealth
lest families were seized by a large
number of masked villains and car
ried away. This morning Inez dc T.
was found at the same garden a raw
ing maniac her hair had been sha-
ven, her breasts cut open and her per-
son violated, and reason dethronod
through her sufferings. She was near
ly naked. On her was found a let
ter from Chavez, saying that unless
100000 in gold was sent to his
camp in the mountains west of Quad
alajara all of the other five ladies
would be similarly treated. The mon
ey was sent, and after Chavez receiv-
ed it-and it had to be carried to him
on a mule with a single servant-he
and his companion 6ends fell upon
the ladies and outraged them. They
then tied them on to mules and left
them in charge Of the servant who
brought them the money"

A Contrast and a Parallel.
Edmund Burke presented twenty

Edmund Burke presented twenty
articles against Warren Hastings be-
fore the House of Lords, and with
boundless wealth of Imagination and
consummate oratory endeayored to
make them good. Thaddeus Stevens
arraigns Andrew johnson at the bar
of the Senate. Burke, in the midst
of his grafton, became too i'll to pro-
coed; Stevens is too weak to deliver
his speech in favor of impeachment.
Burke offended many even of his
warmest friends by the asperity of his
remarks. Stevens, by his unreasona-
BILE and caustic words, alienates ma
ny who might be his warm supporters.
Burke, in his policy, was often unwise
and injudicious; Stevens, by political
vagaries and financial crudities, loses
the confidence of men who have the
good of the same cause deeply at
heart. Both were patriots, orators
and statesmen; both were willing to
endure personal humiliation for the
cause which their consciences approx
ed, and to give their undivided efforts
for the best good of their country.
After protracted trial of eight years,
Warren Hastings stood before the
House of Lords an honored, celebra-
ted man, to receive his final acquittal.
A most distinguished assembly of the
power and rank of Great Britain
greeted him; all London did honor
to the man who was respected and es-
teemed for his public services, and
whose character and government had
triumphed over the most powerful
and eloquent attack ever made a.
gainst any man. Before like peri
cd shall roll over his head, Andrew
Johnson, to Office, Influence and pow
er stranger, dishonored, despised,
and doubly curst, shall know the lot
to which Americans consign fallen
President, to party, principles and
country alike untrue. Twenty-seven
years after his impeachment, Hastings
again appeared from retirement at
the call of Parliment; they paid to
him distinguished honors, the people
welcomed him with enthusiasm and
the King in public bestowed upon him
marks of honor and esteem. TWEEN
ty-seven years after the impeachment
of Andrew Johnson, he shall have
been sleeping many, many years in
the mausoleum Of public hatred,
doomed with Burr to place among
men who raised to high positions of
public trust, have proved false TO the
constitutional principles of their coun-
try.-Roch Democrat.

BUTTER.-The receipts of butter in
the st. Albans market on Tuesday,
says the Messenger, were somewhat
larger than for several weeks previ-
Gus, and prices remained firm. For
ty-five to fifty cents was given for a
good article. Prices have had a very
high range in some of the New York
markets during the past week and we
may soon expect to see the figures
tending downwards. In Troy butter
has been from ffty-fve to sixty cents
per pound; and in Albany where it
is stated that one dealer had stored
four tons of it, it rose to CT cents.

was saved, but the total loss cannot
fall short of $4,000.
