The McGee Murder.

The most reliable information we obtain
from Canada gives little doubt that one James
Whelan, who has been arrested, Ia the assassin
who murdered McGec. Itappesrs that he was
In the habit of visiting public house opposite
TO that in which McGee lodged, and that too
without any definite purpose. lie was fire..
quently seen to wear moccaslns, and consider
ing the seasonof the year this habit was par
ticularly noticed. The bullet which took the
life of the victim has been found to fit pre-.
ciscly a pistol found In Whslan's possession;
and besides that he was known as an avow ed
FcEian, and this under the existing circum-
stances tells against him.
When arrested he exhibited much agitation,
and on being questioned as to HIS whereabouts
when the murder was perpetratcd he said that
he was In the Parliament House. When living
IN Quebec he was known as John Sullivan.
These, with other clrc umst ances Of Suspicious
nature, will he very likely to involve this nan
In a network from which he will find II diff
cult to escape.
late telegram from Montreal Informs us
that Mrs. McGee, widow OF the murdered
Darcy McGee, has refused to accept an ad-
dress of coincidence fron st. PatrIck's So
cicty, as she thinks 1t primarily the cause OF
her husbands murder.
Three OF the prisoners have turned Queens
evidence against Whelan, whose guilt is now
almost conclusiyely established.
The trial will take place next week.

FOR NUMBER OF YEARS there seems to have
been in the New York Legislature a class Of
men whom 1t has been easy to buy, and some
of them have gone dog cheap. II matters not
what party Is In power, men seek places in
the Legislature for the purpose of selling their
votes to those who will buy them to put
through corrupt schemes, which propose to
take millions from the treasury to advance the
Interest Of corporations, and put money into
the pockets Of individual stockholders.
some days ago, Mr.. Glenn made what pur-
ported to be some astounding DEVELOPMENTS of
corruption that was rife at Albany, and now
that 1t is proposed to Investigate his grave
charges before committee, Mr.. Glenn refuse
to appear before said comnittee, and the ps
pers are denouncing him as a fool or a knaye,
and all investigation therefore bids fair to get
the quietus. Nothing will be done.
Within a day or two Governor Fenton has
vetoed the bill to grant State aid to the White
haii and Piattsburg railroad, and the Senate
has sustained the Governors veto.
IhiA veto OF Governor Fenton's gives, very
generally, satisfaction to men OF all parties
who desire to save the State treasury from
being depleted In the interest, and for the SUD-
port Of private enterprises.

ably excited on the question Of the Irish
Church, and petitions for and against Glad

parts Of the country, and on all the large post
Ing bill boards about London were to be seen
placards appealing to the Protestant feeling
ofthe public. Many ofthese placards contained
language Of a most innammatory character.
Threatening disturbances and serious out
RACES were taking place in the eighborhood of
wygan, among the colliers, who were on a
strike in hatregion. The police were unable
to cope with the difficulty, and the assistance
OF the military was asked for.
A proposal has been made In the London
money market for q Spanish Colonial Cuban
eight per cent. loan 60, s35, 900, with dividend
from the LIST of March.
The disturbances at Touion, Bordeaux and
Renus had been followed up by similar de.
monstrations against the provisions of tho

A letter to the Independence Beige draws a
very gloomy picture Of the scene OF disturb
