A ROMANCE OF THE FAR
WEST.
A wealthy Merchant MarriCs a Cham.
bermaId.

From the St. Louis Dispatch, Oct. l9.
Some twenty years ago wealthy gems
tleman from New y Ork City, arrived in
st. Joseph, and after a short soiOurn left
for the West He was'abOut sixty years
of age, an Englishman by birth, who had
come to that city when young, fired with
indomitable energy and industry, but
with scanty means. After years of hard
labor, he gained very large fortune in
the mercantile and stock business
While in St Joseph he became acquainted
with a young girl about seventeen years,
of French descent, then employed as a
waiter inone of the principal hotels. The
girl was penniless, and possessed of but
an ordinary education. She was the
owner, however, of an exceedingly hand
some face, and was gifted with great
musical talent The gentleman, on de-
parting for the West, lett with her a snug
sum of money, to be devoted to the culti-
walton of her taste for music and her
general education. The merchant passed
two years in the West, mainly in Montana,
and returned to st Joseph several weeks
ago. He found the young girl in Platte
Town, officiating as chambermaid ina
clearinghouse. Being without a helps
mate, possessed Of ample means to sup-
port wife, he proposed to the young lady,
was accepted, and the two left for st.
Louis, and are now in our city enjoy ing
their honeymoon.

the original sum- The gradual Hquida-
ton of the public debt would, by dc.
grees, relieve the large capital invested
IN coin and the securities Of the govern
ment, which, seeking remuneration in
other sources of income, would add 10
the wealth of the nation upon which tits
now greM drain.
This immense debt, if permitted to be-
come permanent and increasing, must
eventually be gathered into the hands of
the new, and enable them to exert dans
gerous and controlling power in the at.
fairs OF the government; the debtors
would become servants of the lenders;
the creditors the masters of the people.
1t ls our boast that we have given free,
dom to 100000 slaves. 1t will be then
our shame that by their own liberation
OF usurpation and proAigacy 100000
OF people have enslayed themselves. and
exchanged shareholders for new task
naskers in the shape of bondsholders
and tax-gatherers Hence the vital issue,
whether Congress and its arbitrary as
sumptiOns of authority shall supercede
the supreme law of the land; whether
IN time Of peace the country shall be
controlled by q multitude Of tax-eollec-
tors and standing army, the former al.
most as numerous as the latter, and maxi
ing the debt a permanent burden upon
the productive industry of the people
whether the Constitution, with each and
all its guarantees, shall be sacredly pre-
served; whether now, as in l7S9 and
1916, provision shall be made for the
payment of our obligations at as early
period as practicable, so that the fruits
OF their labor may be enjoyed by our
citizens, rather than used to build up
and sustain money monopoly at home
and abroad The contest Is not merely
to decide who shall occupy the principal
offices in the peoples gift, but whether
the principles of the Federal Constitu-
ton should be observed and maintained
in order that our liberties may be pres
served, and the union of the States re-
stored, and that our Federal system
might be unimpaired and fraternal feel,
ing established and our strength may be
renewed, the expenditure diminished, and |
taxation.be lightened and the public debt |
for evermOre extinguished, that it may |
not injuriOusly affect life, property and !
the morals of the nation. Believing that |
for the redress of the great wrongs and
the correction of the many abuses under |
which the country is labOring we must |
look to the people, and that in them is
our hope, am very truly your friend,

From the Auburn CT. y News. Oct. q.
We have to record most fiendish, and
from the circumstances attending it, dee
liberately planned murder by which a
whole family were destroyed.
Mr.. c. Roach, his wife, and five chill
dren, are the victims. They had lately
moved into the western part of the city.
On Monday afternoon they were in usual
health, and yesterday morning they were
found cold in death, the usual signs of life
not being apparent to the neighbors yes.
terday morning. Suspicion was aroused
that all was not right, and at y NJ. the
house was broken Open-it was a tomb.
In the dining-rOOm in the basement was
found Mr.. and Mrs. Roach and their two
youngest children, in the parlor two other
children, and in the bath room the eldest
daughter Life was not extinct, but she
was too near death to articulate, and
died in very few moments after she was
first discovered The cOrpses are blacks
ened and swollen, the features cOnvulsed,
and the limbs drawn up as il they died
suffering great pain.
Suspicion points towards the servant
girl as the murderess, as she has been
frequently heard to threaten the life OF
Mrs Roach, saying she was mistress OF
the kitchen and would not be interior ed
with. Several times last week she chas d
the children from the kitchen, and on ne
occasion attempted to scald Miss r., who
only escaped by running out of doors
hut, as she was good servant and atten-
tive to all her duties, she was not dis
charged, and it was hoped that by kind
ness her dislike to the family might be
overcome.
They were too trusting, and this is the
result The poison used Is thought to be
Paris green mingled with the food of the
family, as large quantities oft were found
in the pantries.

At the banquet given to Reverdy John
son at Liverpool ON the 22d inst, Mr..
Laird, the great Confederate ship-builder,
was introduced to Mr.. johnson. They
grasped hands firmly, sshoOk them core
daily, and held each other by the hand
while exchanging some words. A special
cable dispatch states that loyal Ameri-
can and English friends of the United
States are CALLED at the recent proceed
ings of Minister johnson in Liverpool,
and think him anxious to go out of his
way to make soft speeches, and that be
went too far in allowing himself to be in
troduced to Laird, and greeting him in a
friendly manner, and that he fraternizes
too much with Rebels and English enc
mies, and misrepresents the sentiments OF
a majority of the American people, and
places the United States in a humiliating
attitude.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT DE.
CIDED.
Liability Of Confederate OKeers for

liability OF Confederate OReers for
Burning Cotton During the War.
From the Natchez CMiss.l Democrat. Oct. D.
The suit Of Washington Ford us. James
Surget, lately decided in the Adams Coun-
ty Circuit Court involved questions of so
| great Importance as TO make it of interest
to most of our readers In May, in 1862,
when the appearance of the Federal feet
IN the Mississippi river endangered prop
eIty bordering the banks, Mr.. A. X. Far.
rar, then civil provost Marshal Of Adams
county, issued orders commanding James
Surget, Esq, deputy provost marshal, to
destroy all cotton lying upon the Adams
county bank of the river, and in such
proximity as TO be in danger OF falling
into the hands of the enemy. In pursu-
ance of this order Mr.. Surget burned the
cotton of several planters. Mr. Washing
ton Ford had two hundred bales within
a short distance of the river, in this coun-
ty. This cotton Mr.. Surget destroyed
Just after the surrender Mr.. Ford brought
suit against Mr. Surget for $4,000, be-
ing the estimated value Of the two hun,
dred bales Of cotton at that time
1t Is noteworthy that of Mr.. Ford orig,
inal attorneys, those who made up the
case, none are now at the bar They
were Messrs. j. A. T. MidderhOf, j. $ b
Thatcher and G. Malin Davis The two
first have been called away from time to
eternity, and the last has retired from the
practice of his profession.
At the two previous terms, of this court,
the cause was argued on demurrers; in
both cases the demurrers were overruled
by the court At this term the case was
tried upon its merits. Gen. VIM T. Mars
tin, Judge Josiah Winchester and Ralph
North, Esq, were counsel for Mr.. Surget,
the defendant Judge Hiram Cassidy and
W. F. Mellen, Esq, for Mr.. Ford, the
plaintiff The trial occupied a consider
able time, and was argued with great
ability on both sides.
The case was submitted to the jury
Friday evening. The Jury remained in
their room during Friday night, and on
morning reported that it was
impossible for them 10 agree upon a YER
dict They were sent back by the Judge,
and, after further consideration, brought
10 a verdict for the defendant; thus de-
Gliding, so far as this court is concerned,
one of the most important questions ariS-
ing out of the late war
We understand that the counsel for
the plaintiff have given notice Of an ap
peal to the High Court of Mississippi and
intend to carry the case to the United
States Supreme Court if necessary.
