Gen. CANBY's REPORT ON THE VIRGIN
IA ELECTION-AGAIN.

Soon after the Virginia election Gen.
Calby instituted Investigations IN the
different counties of the State where il
was complained that the election was
not conducted fairly for the PURPOSE of
ascertailing whether fraud had been
committed or Intimidation used. The
work was assigned to what is known a.
the district commanders. and they were
furnished with form OF questions to be
put to parties making complaints. The
district commanders met at the county,
seats OF those counties where the aIieg-
ed frands were committed and heard
testimony on both sides, after which
they reported the result to Gen. Can
by. In this way nearly every coln-
plant has been investigated, and /. is
understood Gen. Candy will embody
the whole matter in II report to the
President through the Secretary of
War. This report will probably be
transmitted to Congress for its infor-
nation. Military officers who have been
engaged III this duty say. Canby's re-

YEARS C0NCKALMBNT on HIS URIHRs.


For the last fifteen or twenty year,
there has lived about a dozen miles OF

quainted, has enjoyed the reputati On ~

self knew the dreadful secret that might
have cost him days and nights of nn-
ea>iness.
Costello was born in Ireland, and
lived there till manhood. He had SET.
tied down, and rejoiced In the posses.
sion OF wife AID several children
But an unluckv day came, when. in n
dispute,-which We Will hope was caus-
Ell by temper or liquor. and not In cold
blood-he struck the blow which made
hin fratricide-a bro:her-murderer
an outlaw. ar u fugitive from Justice .
Escaping the officers of the law, he fl ID
the country, embarked on All emlgrant
snip, and came to America-the refuge
not only of many who are tired OF the
despOtisms OF the Old World, but. alas 1!
OF too many who have put themselves
under the ban by their crimes. Aftnr
many years Of rambling through tais
country he came to Dubuque, where,
by industry and economy, he succeed
ed in securing good farm. How he
suffered during all this time none can
tell. His early life I'm Ireland showed
him at least not to have been harden
ed criminals; and ii that were so, we
cannot but expect that his con science
troubled him sorely. But rs the years
went by, and seeing his crime only with
self-palliating eyes, the feeling proba-
bly, wore away.
Meantime his wife and children still
remained in the old country, entirely
ignorant of his Whereabouts. He could
not write to have them come out to A
meri a. for that would only lead to his
discovery and bring him surely to the
gaiiows. Besides, 1t is but natural to
suppose that his wife, knowing his ter
rible crime of numbering his brother,
would hardly he willing to share her
lite with his; nor could the children,
who, may be already knowing their
lather's ignominy, or who would some
day, sooner or later, be cognizant of it,
De expected to pay him the respect n
lather should receive. So, probably
taking the matter into consideration,
and looking into his actions with sell
hsi and self excusing eye, he adds an
other, and, under the circumstances,
more heinous crime OF bigamy to that
of fratricide by taking wife; and, I'M
happily, has brought others into the
world TO share his shame.
But this terrible secret has at last
'rept out. Last week his nephew, the
ION of tie murdered brother, arrived
leIe. and after securing the proper le-
al papers proceeded to the farm OF
costello aud had him arrested for the
murder committed thirty years ago
lie is now on the way back to Ireland
be tried, and. If no circumstances can
re adduced to justify the fratricide, to
nffer tor it to the full extent.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

Inc material growth OF the South the
last four years is strikingly shown by
the editorials in some OF the Southern
papers. The official figures at the de-
partment in Washington estimate that
the cotton crop of the Southern States
this year will be s240, 900 900, while the
total value OF the exports OF the South
is set down ia s3-S,j00,O00. At this
rate the value Of Southern products is
about 81. 80 per head for the entire
Southern population. These figures go
to show that :he South is even now the
richest section of the country.
