THE BEDFORD MURDER.-The Lynchburg
Republican of yesterday has the following
further particulars of the Bedford murder:
The father Of the murdered lady, Miss
Fannie Wright, is Mr.. Meadow Wright, and
resides near the village of Peatown. One
day of last week Miss Wright, who had
charge of fiourishing school. rode out
among her patrons for the purpose of col
lecting the various sums that were due her
for tuition. At late hour in the evening
her horse came back without her, causing
alarm among her friends, who Immediately
took steps to find her. A Mr.. Huddleston
first found her dead body, lying in the road
within sight of the village. The skull was
broken in three. places behind, as If by
heavy blows, and the body had been dragged
for several feet along the road. 1t was at
first supposed that the lady had been thrown
from her horse and killed by being
dragged along the ground. Several cir
cumstances, however, initiate against this
supposition. 1t was found on examination
that her pocket-book, containing, it is said,
some $500, had been distracted. A pool OF
blood along with quantity of matted hair,
was found on the side of the road some dis
lance from the body. 1t is now believed
that the lady was murdered by blows
struck at the spot where the blood was
found, and then dragged onthe ground: by
the murderer, who sought to create the I'm, !,
preston that her death was the result OF
accident. No clue whatever, we under
stand, was left by the perpetrator OF this
most dastardly and dreadful tragedy The
whole neighborhood, however, is on the
alert, and no effort will be spared to track
the guilt home to the criminal. - 1 -, - :
Miss Wright was lady Of fine appear
ance and prepossessing manners, possessed
of various Accomplishments, and much be-
loved and respected by all who knew her.

I, nv,ssrox OF ARxASsAs.-Wnshinotor

AnyJssIoS OF ARKASsAs.--W WASHINGTON,
1rne q, lS6s.--It would seem that the
Snminant majority in the two Houses Of
Congress cannot move a peg without knock
zoo their shins against some sharp obstacle
IS their own precious contrivance. The
o,.called representatives from the State Of
irtansas presented themselves this morn
mo in both bodies, with their credentials,
:, the House the important documents were
rsferred to committee for report, at the
,,rnest demand of Horace Maynard. There
-,,s, therefore, be some doubt about the
S,iicalism Of one or more of the "repre.
natives" The "senators were. how
,rer. swallowed, but not without wry faces.
T. seems their Credentials % were
sr no means in form. They express on
heir faces that the elections took place un-
Ssr the act Of 1866, and they are not certi-
s.d by the Governor under the seal of the
Safe. rs required by law. It WAS amusing
,nonch to listen to the attempts Of Mr..
Trumbull to avoid the counter difficulties
which bcset him on every side. He admit
al that the present candidates for seats
r,-c elected before Arkansas was State
9, all. and invoked the precedents of the
admission of senators elected from new
States while the latter were in territorial
condition. But all these precedents oc-
cured before Congress undertook to regu-
late 10y law the mode and manner of the
election Of senator's, and said claw "pre-
srribcs exactly the "manner in which
such credentials shall be certified,
which was glaringly violated in these cases.
This, however, was small matter.-COr-
