Four PERSONS BRUTALLY MURDERED IN TEXAS.
The Crockett Sentinel, of Sept. 22d, gives the de-
tails of fearful tragedy enacted on the previous
Sunday night, at Calhoun Ferry, on Trinity river.
Mr.. Charley Hall, the ferrymsn, his wife, MISS
Hall, girl about l3 years of age, the sisterin law
of Mr.. Hall, and an unknown stranger, were al
brutally murdered. The instrument was an AK,
and each of the victims had their skulls terribly
chopped to pieces. Mr.. Hall seems to have been
called down to the ferry boat and was murdered
immedistely on the river bank. His arms were
badly bruised, from which IT appears that ne nao
made some effort to defend himself; but the defense
was useless, the sssassin's ak was buried deep IN
the ton of theeku, which put an end TO his exist
ence. His wife seems 70 have gone TO his rescue
and was-met about half way between the house
and boat and the sssassin's steel was again useo
on defenseless innocence. The ak was buried In
her cheek and temple, producing instact deatn.
The assassins next rushed upon strange na1

BISHOP DUGGAN AND HIS PRIEsrs-Dr. McMul-
len's Letie1' 10 the Bishop.-A special dispatch
from Chicago, of the 9th ult., to the Missouri
Democrat, say:
The difficulty between Bishop Duggan and bis
priests seems 10 be spreading. The bishop has
withdrawn his offensive deprivation Of Mr.. Roles's
official functions and for some reason has not vet
proceeded against either of the other priests. DR..
McMulen has left this city, and has already visited
several members of the American hierarchy, pre-
paratory to leaving for Europe. His friends and
the friends of the other clergymen have thought 1t
proper TO make public the letter written by him
on his leaving. DR.. McMullen's letter is as fol-
lows: su

Dear Bishop-You have done me the nonor more
than once Of signifying to me that am sincere.
honorable and laborous In whatever / think, say
or do in all matters of importance pertaining TO
religion. / hope, dear bishop, that you will ac-
cord TO me the came kind of judgment while
state to you that am convinced that It Is my
sacred duty to God, religion and my fellow-men TO
do all that can within the bounds of truth and
justice to remove you iron the bishoprlc Of Chi
/ am devoid Of az feelings that are not the kind
est towards you. Should you ever need any as
sstsnce, dear bishop. it shall never be Withheld.
Being one of those who belived II for the benefit
of religion to make such statements regarding
your administration as would induce the holy see
to remove you from this diocese, and as you have
thought it proper to suspend the Rev. Joseph r.
Roles as a punishment for having united with me
and others in making these representations, now,
as party concerned, appeal against your action
to the holy see. l wish to call your attention,
dear bishop, TO the canons of the church 10 refer
ence to appeals to superior tribunals, and especially
to the holy see according to which, while the case
is pending, cannot be removed from ofice or
benefice. therefore ret1in my parish, and re-
quest that you appoint cergymen to attend to il
during my absence.
Before this communication shall have reached
you shall be on my way to Rome. Farewell.
then, dear bishop you shall be remembered in
my prayers. If we never meet again on earth.
LEI us demean ourselves that we may be worthy
of living with our Father who is In Heaven.

1t is supposed that this letter. in bringing to the
attention Of the bishop that under the canonicsl
law during an appeal to Rome, the appellant can.
not be deprived of his parish or benidce has had
the effect of delaying IL not preventing sltogether,

that the five minutes rule should prevail for

luton that in view of the oft repeated and mani

HAVANA, December l7.-The Diarro,
which is strongly in Spanish interests,
says within the jurisdiction of Santiago
de Cuba this year, no crops will be
gathered, The insurrectionists carry
off coffee as fast rs it ripens and feed
sugar cane to their horses.
The steam transports, expected with
reinfOrceYents from Spain arrived to-
day. The Spaniards, since their arrival,
feel moro confident that the revolution
will speedily terminate.
The Diarro publishes an account of
the misery prevailing in Santiago de
Cuba, which, it says, is heart-rending
and whichever party wins it is certain
that the prosperity of tho eastern de-
partment is ruined for years to come.
The account of the capture of Cobre
by the rcvolutionsts, published in New
York journals, is untrue.
The DidrrO says the volunteers of
Santiago de Cuba ask that arms be
given them immediately SO they may
be led against the revolutionists.
