The Cunningham Burdell Murder.

We have already mentioned the death Of
Eckei in Sing Sing prison, and the fac. that
he made dying statement about the Gun
bingham Burdell murder, in which he was
supposed to have been implicated We take
from the Albany Argus the subioined nc.
count OF Eekel's death and reference to the
murder itself;
On Friday night, John j. Eckel died at
the Albany peultensiary, Of heart disease
Eckel was sent TO the penitentiary over a
year ago, together with Calicott and one OIL
TWO other prominent members Of the whisky
ring, for frauds upon the Internal Revenue
Eckel was still more exte nsiyely known &c
the world from the fact that he was arrested
and indicted upon the charge Of being i'm
plicated in the murder of DR.. Harvey Bur.
dell, the wealthy Bond street dentist. This
case is one Of the causes ceIebrey in tbs
criminal history Of the United States. The
murder itself was shocking; but the subse'
quent developments through which it was
sought, at once, to acquit Mrs. Cunningham
of the crime and to establish her right to the
property Of the murdered mantle bogus

personated DIR. Burdell to Mrs. Cunning.
ham role OF bride, and in which the Rev
! Uriah Marvin, formerly of this city, figured
as the officiating clergyman, the bogus baby
plot, the trial and acquittal of the Principal
who was almost universally believed to be
the murderess-.hese and other incidents
made the case one ofthe most exciting cri
minsl trials that ever occurred in the histor!
ofthis country. There was, We believe, NJ
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1869-12-10

evidence sufficient TO justify Eckels con
yiction, and the grounds Of his arrest we're
the fact that he slept in the Bond street
house on the night of the tragedy, and that
he was understood to be o lover OF Mrs.
Cunningham.
It was also suspected that he was the
person who personated DIR. Burdeli IN the
bogus marriage. There were considered
to be suff Client grounds to justify bis arrest
and indictment as an accessory to the muir
der;and up TO the present time suspicion has
attached TO him in the minds OF many, con-
Meeting him with the fearful tragedy.
After the announcement had been made to
Eckel that he must die, we are informed
that, at the suggestion ofa prominent cltiztn
Eckel's partner ia crime, CaIicot, had an
interview with him, for the purpose OF draw,
ing from him any disclosure he might zee.
disposed to make in regard to the murder OF
DR.. Burdell. It is stated that Eckel emphai'
ically declared that he was entirely gpiHeSs
of any connection with the crime, anu lnat
he did not know who committed ~ ne
added that ne entered the mouse apout
o'clock on the night OF the muroefi mat no
was met by Mrs. Cunningham IN the lower
hail; that he noticed that she appeared con-
fused and excited that she preceded him up
stairs to his room; that she stopped on the
way W stairs and closed DR.. BurdelTs room
door, that she accompanied him to his own
bed door, where he left her, locked his
door, and retired to bed: and that he was
entirely ignorant of the murder until after
the discovery of the body. This statement
was made a short time before his death, and
in view of the fact that his physician had
informed him that his end was near, and
that he could not possibly survive. Given
under such solemn circumstances, it will
doubtless be generally believed, especially as,
while it exonerates himself it adds one more
link in the chain oftestimony, which pointed
10 Mrs. Cunningham as the murderess ofDr'
Burdsll

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies. "Schenck's Pulmonc
syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
and every form Of Consumption. The peculiar
action OF this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt
matter by expeotoration, purites the blood and
thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails.
;'schenok's seaweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arts
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place Of the gas
trio juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to digest the most nutritious tovd II
is sovereign remedy for all cases OF indiges
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills" one Of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being II veg
etabe substitute for caIomel and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
| out producing any Of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR., }. H. Schenck, Of
| Philadelphia, owos his unriyoed success in the
| treatment Of PulmOnic Consumption. The Pull
| monc Syrup ri pens the morbid matter, dis
| charged it, and purifes the blood. The Mandrake
| Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructioOs
therclrom, give the organ u healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most
| prcqninent causes of Consumption
The Sea Weed Tonic invi gorates the powers of
the stomach, and by ngtheniDg the digestion
and bringing it to normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality Of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers or tubercles IN the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of Consumption, il the remedies are
used in time and the use Of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to favorable
termination.

How LOYALTY Is UPSET IN rENNxssxE'

IT, ;, which the "red.hAnded
rebels" upset and overturn established 10Y
altv vhsn they gel, the power, is aptly illus
tra,sd in Tennessee. That State, until the
xooant election, in which the people took
mart. was intensely loyal in all departments
If is government. 1t presented that
anomaly in politics of an intensely Rad
ical and loyal government, with so called
intensely disoysl constituency, the admins
trstion being under the auspices and IN the
interest Of those who lay great stress on
republican form Of government. AT the
August election this deformity in political
architecture and alienation between people
and government was removed, and the gov
eminent made to harmonic with the will
of the people. This change OF course
brought into Office representatives of the
SO called rebel element, who, we were as
sured, would undo all that loyalty had done
for the State. Well, it appears that this is
to be the case, for the Telegraph brings the
news from Nashville, that one branch OF the
Legislature has actually passed bill pro
yiding that ,he salaries of all civil officers,
excepting the Governor, Judges and Chan
csllors. now in Office, shall be reduced one
half the same reduction extending to mem.
bers of the Legislature, Judges, Chancel.
lors and Governors hereafter elected The
dsloyalty of this measure is fearful when
it is remembered that the salaries just re.
duced we're voted to themselves by rece OF
carpet baggers and home made loyalists,
who had but little or no property to pay
taxes on, and we're therefore Loyalty particl'
pants only in the benefits, and not in the
burdens Of liberal compensation for dis
tinguished official services TO the State
Will Congress take notice Of this h"gran'
departure from Radical paths by the rebel
Legislature of Tennessee, and institute an
inquiry into the right Of tax.ridden, prop
ertyhoding people to relieve themselves o
oppressive burdens, aud protect themselves
from robbery ?
