THE HANGING OF THE EXPRESS Rob-
BERs-ANorHER NICE DIPLOMATIC
QUESTION TO SETTLE.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Gazette,
in writing about the hanging of the Ex-
press robbers, noticed in our telegraphic
columns a day or two since, says
The telegram announcing the hang
ing of Frank Reno and Charles Ander-
son by mob at New Albany, Indiana,
has occasioncd quite an excitement in
official circles here. The honor of the
Government had been pledged to the
Canadian authorities for the protection
of these men, and for their safe return
to Canada, if not convicted, after a fair
trial, on the charge Of robbing Adams
Express. 1t was only after this pledge
had been given that these men were
surrendered to the United States under
the provisions of the extradition treaty.
The action of the mob in seizing and
hanging these men, it is apprehended,
will seriously embarrass the Cabinets of
Washington and London, and compli-
cate negotiations already pending.
After returning from church to-day,
Mr.. Seward paid his respects to Mr..
Thornton, and explained the violent
character of the proceedings in Indiana,
and gave the British Ambassador every
assurance that the Government of the
United States would do it's whole duty
in the premises. Mr.. Thornton bluntly
replied that he could not exactly per-
ceive what was to be done, since the
parties whose protection had been guar
aanteed by the United States had already
been hanged, in violation Of the pledge

Buried Alive.

"a New Orleans correspondent OF the
fsincinnati Enquirer gives the following
| Jparticulars Of most distressing affair
I have just heard Of the most heart
lending, and yet unavoidable affair,
shich It has ever been my lot to record.
[t is nothing more nor less than the
Efrightful reality of being buried alive.
|k most estimable lady, Mrs. Crane,
5sp 5apsha4a a is st5Re R24hksSRsE HI g g y fR6 dg6
suddenly last July, of what was pro
nounced sunstroke. She was a school
teacher in ore Of our most popular
schools. IN the afternoon, after school
was out, she went to visit a neighbor on
Felicity street, and just as she entered
her friends house she fell;nsensible and
expired, to all appearance, in about two
minutes, the doctor pronouncing it sun
stroke. Her body was inferred the
next day at ten clock, and her mother,
an old lady about fifty years of age,
and her husband and one little son,
went home almost broken-hearted, and
have since been nearly distracted, being
at times unable to sleep, and in fact
leading most miserable and disconso-
late life; and we'll they might, as the
sequel will show, had they known what
they had4done. Well, one night last
week the mother, after passing most
distressing dey, fell asleep late at ight
and dreamed thather daughter had been
buried alive. She jumped upin a fran
tic state and rushed to her son-in-law's
chamber, crying, My daughter is bu-
ried alive! Oh, my daughter is buried
alive What shall I ,do?" To sleep
any more that night was out Of the
question she still crying that her
daughter was buried alive, whenever her
son-in-law would try to quiet her. At
length the proposition was made to have
the body disinterred, the grave was
opened and the coffin raised Oh, what
a horrible sight met their view! Pen
.is powerless to portray the scene which
followed. The body whichzhad been
placed in a metallicacofin, was turned
over, the glass covering the face was
broken to osstoms, the ends of her fingers
being beaten and battered all to pieces;
h@hair torn out in handfnls, and the
Stroud torn in many places pre-
ssenting the appearance of one Of the
most desperate struggles to free herself
from the terrible misfortune. If any of
our readers could have seen the relatives
Of this unfortunate lady, when this con.
dition of what they supposed was the
perpetual silent tomb had been brought,
1t would have forced tear from tue
most solid and adamantine heart.

Investments in Confederate Securi-
ties by Trustees, Guardians, etc.

The bill, which has been pending in
the Legislature, to authorize minors, or
other parties cestasa que trust, to recover
from guardians and trustees the full
amount of all the funds of their estates
which were invested in Confederate
bonds, money or other securities, re-
gardless of the circumstances, has been
reported upon unfavorably by Whipper,
in the House. The report was adopted,
(as will be seen by the summary of pro-
ceedings in another column and the
bill indefinitely postponed This is a
most righteous determination by the
House, and is creditable to the good
sense and Just feeling of Whipper and
the Committee who sustained the Report.
People do not all see it in that light,
but it strikes us that any young man or
young woman that would now attempt
to extort from guardian or trustee
money that the guardian, acting in good
faith, had lost, after having taken pre-
cisely the same care of it that he did Of
his own, and made tie same investments
that were considered legal at the time,
is attempting nothing less than robbery,
under the guise of law. The proper
manner Of disposing Of all casss,ef the
kind, is to leave them to the courts to
decide on principle Of Equity, which
shall correspond with the facts and mer-
its of cases, where the parties do not
agree. The view Of some people on this
subject has been very superficial and
sophistical, wanting in common sense,
we beg leave to say, because they re-
gard only one side of the question.
They do notremember that the guardian
or trustee with his own property and
funds as we'll as with that of minors
and cestua que trust, was forced to travel
the dangerous war path, beset with the
tempests of fire and sword, armies and
plunderers, and that his own property
perished as well as his, wards; that
usually he saved more for them thanfor
himself that he took as good care of
theirs as he could and did Of his own
and yet at the end of the journey, and
the discovery of the loss, they would
compel him to insure the wards proper
ty, retrospectively against the hazards
of revolution and war; and pauperize
himself and his sureties, in his old age,
to set UP some youth in business or
pleasure.
We never felt that there was much
danger Of such injustice being perpc-
trated in this State, unless party feeling
in the Legislature, and on the Bench,
should get the better of reason and
truth. This does not now seem at ali
probable, at least as regards this ques-

! the fearful woman, at last, pointing to
Miss Hitty you may thank her that I
| am yet alive.
SFor the first time, now, the stranger
ssw there was another woman in the
raom. There was silence fc the space
Of "a moment. Miss Hetty Moss looked
HIM straight in the eye, her color fitting
and, returning, the breath coming quick
through her parted lips.
g" g" 1t IS you, Hetty-but you do not
remember me" he said, hesitatingly, yet
appealingly,.
Sc Yes, l do, Robert" came with a
qnics gasp. "Oh, Robert !" and as he
Thshed forward, her hands were in his,
her head upon his shoulder.
Then came Hetty Moss story. She
had always been faithful to her love-
Her father, after some years, had died
.asolvent. Hetty, after his death, had
the village where she had been
born and had come to the great city in
search of employment. Here, by one
Of thoseinscrutable DEGREES Of Provi-
dence that the ignorant call chance, she
had come across Roberts sister, now a
Midoy, and almost penniless., They had
thrown in their lot together. Hetty
lad skill with her needle, besides some
taste in dress, and had set up, insan
tumble way, as dressmaker. Some
times she went out by days work, and
sometimes labored at home. In these
latter cases, Mrs. Pettigrew helped her
Hith her needle. But, latterly, the
times had been hard work was scarce
and both had been near 10 starving. On
the. Christmas-eve, when Et ttieI Lucy
went out to see if she could gather q
few sticks Or chips, they had not doi-s
lar between them.
ssII::fse. sIs:s.. l have more money than I know
what to do with, said the newly-found
brother You shallnever, Lucy, dear,
lnows@ant again
sNeed we tell the sequel? Iiow
there was a grand dinner in one of the
aostielegant private parlors Of the Con-
5Saental Hotel the next day; and how
Hetty became bride a week or two
after or how little Lucy never knew
',sgain the pangs of poverty, or the long
ing for Christmas doll!

Remember the Poor.

Remember the poor, for bleak winds a-e blowing
And brightly the frost pearls are glistning
around;
The streamlets have ceased all their musical How
And snow-drifts lie scattered all over the
ground.
Remember the poor in their comfortless dwellings
Ill-clad and ill-fed, DER burdened with care,
Oh, turn not away with a look so rcpelling,
Thy kindness may save them, perhaps, from
despair.
Remember the poor when the hearth-stone is
cheerful
And happy hearts gather around its blaze;
There are hearts that a:e sad and eyes that are
fearful,
As bright as thine own in their SUMMER days.
Misfortune may scatter thy present possessions,
And plenty to poverty leave thee prey;
How bitterly then wilt thou think Of the blessings
That charity asks from thy riches to day.
Remember the poor as 20 thankfully gather
Each round his rich table with luxury spread ;
Thou, too, art pensioner on rich Father,
For health and for friendship, for raiment and
bread;
If he hath been bountiful, with a like spirit
Dispense of that bounty what Charity claims !;
Far greater the treasure thy soul shall inherit
When thy bread on the waters roiurneth again.
Remember the poor-this thou art commanded
Thy Saviour thus kindly remembered the poor ;
The destitute thou shalt not send empty-handed,
Uncled and unwarmed ind unfcd from thy
door,"
Thy peace in this life shall be like the deep river,
And dying, thy welcome to heaven shall be-
aye faithful and blessed of my Father-come
hither;
Ye did it to o.hers-ye did it to me"

The other night, up in Dayton, Ohio,
the Grant Guards were out on parade,
when the sweetheart of one Of them
threw soft tomato from her window,
which struck him in the mouth. He
imagined himself the victim Of Ku
Klux malevolence. He threw himself
into the arms of comrade, and, faint
ing away, exclaimed; Tell my mother
that I perished for what I thought was
right. Oh comrades, avenge my DEATH
As may be imagined, he had a big scare
on.
