Dear Journal A most terrible and
bloody murder was committed n this city
yesterday morning which illustrates the
lawless and irresponsible character of the
negro, and we'll shows how utterly brutal
is the nature of ''our men and brothers
when their passions are excited. Yesterday
morning a negro deliberately killed two
women by chopping them up with Ratchet.
bloodier and more brutal deed he's mover
been committed in this city, where bloody
and brutal deeds are matters of daily &C.
currence. The National Republican,, in
trying to excuse the deed on the part of the
negro. said it was the effect of whiskey.-
It was established on the preliminary ex
animation that the man was not drunk save
with passion-well showing tho normal
condition of the negro is one that requires
constant guardian. And yet these are
the kind of creatures that Radical legisla-
ton for twelve years past has done its ut
most to elevate above the whites. Rapes
and murders, brutal, remorseless and dia'
bolical, are the solo fruits of this legisla-
ton. Will New England fanaticism ever
learn common sense
Internal Revenue Commissioner DelanO

then go to Pennsylvania to fulfil the APP
pointments made for him by the Radical
State Central Committee, entering upon
the campaign ut Harrisburg on the 28th
inst. Mr.. Allison, Register of the Treasury
will at the same time take the stump for
the Radicals in Pennsylvania and remain
until the election. These gentlemen, Of
course, will draw their pay for the time
they are absent. What n commentary upon

gentlemen in ''dGcking" the salaries Of
their clerks if they are absent from their
desks three minutes during Office hours.
Mr.. Boutwell, announces that he will be
in Washington day. He conld not
come until Rawlins died. AS a proof of
the extraordinary service this man is doing
to the finances of the country, the fol
lowing item from The Republican of this
morning will be read with interest: "Tho
scarcity of Government notes is 80 great
that it is doubtful whether
there will be sufficient to pay the Depart
ment Clerks ut the end of the present
month. It may we'll be questioned if Mr..
Bontwell's financial genius is very beneficial
to the country in five months service as
Secretary of the Treasury-he has 30 far
bankrupted tho nation that it cannot pay
it's own employees. A few days ago some
persons connected, it is thought, with the
Pension Bureau Of the Interior Depart
ment, went into the Library Room of the
Bureau of Education, and taking all the
books and documents from the shelves,
scattered them prOmisCnously over the
floor. The works We're very valuable and
related to the progress OF science, art,
literature and commerce in the principal
countries OF Europe, the collection Of
which had cost Professor Barnard, the
Commissioner Of Edncation the labor ut
years.

two hundred and fifty Thousand dollars.
Cornelius Wendell, OF tins clty, Wni, nj.
Sweet, of New York, and Edmund Burke,
of New Hampshire, are said to be the lead
ing men IN the proposed enterprise. Mr..
Wendell, [ know. wanted to. buy the 'Intel-
