A Woman Brutally Beaten and Killed
Arrest OF Her Husba nd on Suspicion.

The details of another shocking case of mur.
der transpired on Saturday night. At about
eleven o'clock on that night, as Officer Flanni-
gan, OF the twenty y-elght precinct, was patrol
ing his beat in the vicinity of 59l Greenwich
street, man named John Pindar. came from
ihe rear premises OF that number, and excitedly
inquired where he could find a physician

a drunken fit, but that although he had thrown

her. The officer. remarking the mans ner yous.

truth OF his statements by repeating them over
and over again, concluded to 20 with him into
the house and investigate the state of affairs for
himself.
The apartments occupied BY the man Pindar
are on the first floor Of the rear house. On en-
tering horrible sight was presented to the
eyes OF ,he astounded policeman, who was not
prepared for sanguinary spectacle after the
contrary representations that had been made to
him by Pindar. The woman was found living
on the floor OF the front room in a pool Of
blood. One side of the skull was crushed:
there was deep cut to the brain on the other
side, the face was horribly bruised, the left ear
either bitten or torn Of, and the left hand badly
cut by some sharp instrument.
Plndar was at once taken into custody and
conveyed, with his two little chihiren, to the
station house. On examining the apartments
the police found there bayonet, the blade of
which was still wet. as if it had been cleaned
OF the blood by means of water. A rag satu.

which that can be SO surely effected,
In the case of an Apglo-Saxon, Celtic or
Teutonic freeman, as making the negro
his political and social equal. The New

QUESTIONS ron CAsUTsTs

Every white man is DISTINGUISHED in
Arkansas, by the Constitution lately lit
tered there, who Will not swear that be
will never endeavOr to deprive negroes
of the right OF voting.
a correspondent in that State asks US
these questions:
"Suppose a man takes that oath, and
in November YOtes for the nominee of
the New York Convention, and that
nominee should be opposed to manhood
suffrage mot very prObable), or suppose
be takes the oath, and thereby becomes
an eiector, and in November votes for
some persons, for President and Vice
President, who, themselves, are not op-
posed to manhood suffrage, but think
that the matter of franchise should and
does belong 10 the States, and at the next
general election, the electOr, thus quail
fed, and thus having voted, should
through design, or unknowingly vote for
members OF the Legislature, who had
changed their views in relation to man
hood suffrage, and who should exert
themselves TO abridge it, and reduce it
down to intelligence and intellect, would
an act of that sort make the electors
guilty Of perjury?
We can only answer that to vote for
person to be member of the Legislature,
knowing him to be opposed to negro SUI
frage, and expecting him to exert him
self as Legislator tot take the right Of
voting away from the negroes, would be
a violation Of the oath. So it would be
to vote for a person for President,
pledged or expected to do all he constitu-
tienally could to rid the South of that
pest. In that, as in other matters, what
1t is not lawful for one himself to do, it
is not lawful for him to procure others to
do.
No man should take any oath, intend
ing not to keep it. That it is unlawful
to require it, makes, in our opinion, no
difference. To escape death, torture or
Imprisonment, one might be justified or
at least excused, for taking such an oath,
meaning to break it, as taken under du-
ress. No less urgent necessity could ex-
euse him. Better be distranchised for
ever, than buy the privilege of voting
with false oath, an oath not meant to
be kept, or q lie.

In this neighborhood the late rains
have improved the cotton and corn very
much, and will add fully One-half TO cur
prospects for good yield OF the latter.
The farmers in Terrell county, Ga,
despair of making anything like half q
com crop. The drOuth in many portions OF
the county has lasted seven weeks. Cot
ton is small but looking well in some
portions of the county. The fruit is fall
ing of rapidly and is q complete failure.
The Cuthbert GA appeal, says that
the drouth is again becoming severe, and
the corn crop is nearly ruined. This is
particularly the Case about BrookvilIe,
and we learn that nearly all of Stewart
county has suffered terribly.
The crops near Columbus, Ga, are
suffering for rain. A great deal Of the
growing corn is now too far advanced to
be much benefited, but the later corn SIS
well as the cotton would be greatly
helped by it.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Lr1teligeacer
says: Two attempts at rain, one on
Sunday the other yesterday, proved
only miserable failures. We had little
wind, great deal Of thunder and light
ming and a few drops OF water only.
Everything is parehed, but copious
showers, we understand, have fallen In
several places in the surrounding eoun-
try. We earnestly speak for the next
chance.
"A letter from Warnersville, Ca,
says: The wheat crop in this section has
not turned out as we'll as expected, on
account of the rust. 1 think, however,
there was a good yield wherever the
land was good, and doubtless enough has
been raised for home consumption. l
trust this has been so to the full extent.
The cotton on superior land is appearing
well, but the corn is beginning to droop
for the want of rain, none OF which worth
banning have we had for five weeks.
There has been some in other sections
not far from this. The garden vegetables
are perishing,
The Rome ga Courier says There
have been rains in some localities, but
as a general thing the crops are suffering
for rain greatly ia this section. Unless
we have rain soon, the corn crop will be
materially injured.
"A note from S planter in the Cane
brake country in Alabama to the Selma
Times says: Corn is literally burnt up
Not more than half 8 crop can be made !;
and unless we get rain soon, early corn
will make nothing. Cotton il growing
slowly; but il is suffering for rain.
Planters are holding on TO their old corn,
asserting that they will not make
enough this year to carry them through
another season.

Just then on the Ieaf-roof slanting
A large, heavy drop of rain
Fell, rocking the little palace,

Was tanning the clouds about,

He covered IT close with his wing.

But he stood on the nearest landing,
And liRhted him Ger the main.
