A CORRESPONDENT, writing of Mr..
Frelinghuysen's instructions, says that
rs matters now stand he will not BIZ
charged with the conduct of the Ala
bama claims controversy, that subject
having been removed to Washington
for negotiation some months ago. At
fairs may take such turn as to require
reference hereafter to our Minister, but
at present there is no occasion for sub
uniting tho subject to his care specially.
From tho same source it is learned that
Mr.. :Frelinghuysen will be instructed
to negotiate for the adoption Of treaty
regulating the practice among belliger.
ents upon the seas during war. This
Government has heretofore attempted,
but without success, to perfect q treaty
with the great powers of Europe to
make all private property exempt from
capture at sea aud abolish all privateer-
ing. Nearly all the powers have from
time to consented 10 this basis of treaty,
but England has refused. Mr.. Frcling-
huysen will, Immediately upon his ar
rival in London, endsavor to conclude
such a treaty with Great Britain,
and there are reasons for believing
that It will succeed. All our minis
ters will be instructed to urge as rule
of international law that blockade
shall not be restriction upon trade,
but shall be strictly military work,
thus permitting merchant vessels to
pass blockading squadrons. lfthis can
be accomplished, We shall have no more
stops &c to our ocean mail service, and
commerce upon the seas will be unob'
st1ucted by reason Of the existence o.

HORRIBLE MURDER.-A shocking
murder was committed in New York,
on last Saturday, between the hours Of
l and 6 o'clock in the morning. The
Victim was Benjamin Nathans, a wealthy
Jewish banker, living on 23d street.
-Four other persons wero in the house at
the time, but, although there was every
sign Of violent struggle having taken
place, no sound was heard. When his
body was found in the morning stretch
ed across the threshold Of the library,
the sight was shocking one. The
white night-shirt was bathed in blood,
and it was torn open, displaying the
bare breast. The legs were drawn up
as they had been left when the last
struggle ceased. The left hand was
iercely clenched, while the thumb cut
almost in two, and every finger crushed
was broken at the wrist. The head and
facs were covered with dreadful gashes
an inch or two In length, and deep,
fine puncturcd wounds. Both eyes
we're black and greatly swollen. The
right ear was split open, while the
region on the right eye aud temple was
beaten to jelly. Twelve or fifteen
distinct wounds could b. counted.
From their nature, some being broad
and heavy, and others fine and deep, it
was evident that two widely different
weapons hal been used. Ore Of these,
an "iron dog" was lying beside the
corpse ; the other could not be found.
The safe had been broken open and
100000 taken therefrom. The dcceas-
eds watch and diamond studs were also
taken. For time suspicion rested on
the youngest Of his two sons, both Of
whom are wild youths; but this has
been dispelIed, and the police think
they are on the right clue.
To-day's dispatches say that the
murderer has been tracked to Boston.

New England Ascendancy.

The Missouri Republican very truly says:
'The Republican party is the agent by which
New England rules the country. The whole
philosophy of that party and its entire policy
are of New England conception"
They are beginning to understand New Eng
land out West, and they are beginning also to
see that the only way Of escape from the fatal
ascendancy it has maintained and the high
tariffs it has saddled upon the country, is to
break down the Radical party.
We are pleased to see that the late effort of
Gen. Butler to get up a war between Great
Britain apd the United States, meets with Sc
we're condemnation even on the Radical side of

interests of restored peace, and in behalf of a
united people only to eager to build un the

For the first time in the history of the
country" says the Richmond Wing, military
interference in elections has been legalized, and
has become as universal as suffrage ITSELF It
is one of the curious contradictions of the
times, that free suffrage should be made sub
ject to military force, and that the ballot and
the bullet should be brought into intimate as
ISOLATION.
Such are the means resorted to by Radical
ism to maintain its ascendancy.. One thing is
to be observed-that after trying all other
means, shifts and contrivances they have at
length been driven to that last resort, ultima
ratio. force. This brings them to the end Of
their tether, and, if it fails, down they must
go to certain ruin. 1t failed in North Caro-

likely, where will Radlcalism be? The answer

TRUMPs.-Folks may say what they please
about Grant, but weN bet on him. Bayonets
are his trumps He used them 10 the New
York elections, and diminished the Radical
vote IS per cent. He gave the Democrats q
popular majority in Pennsylvania In North
Carolina he changed the Radical majority from
1916 70 4, 500 on the other side He carried
Richmond for the Democrats by two companies
of regulars. He altered his majority in Mis-
souri,, from 25. 1872 for him to exactly Al 900
against him. He reconstructed Alabama on
sound Democratic basis, with 5000 ahead for

REFUSES TO PAY.-It will be recoected that
Major f. G. Randolph, of this city, was killed
in July last, in personal rencontre. Previous
to that time he had effected an insurance on
his life, to the amGun. of five thousand dollars
in The National Life Insurance Company, at
Washington, of which Jay Cooke is President
We now learn that the Company refuses to pay
over to Major Randoph's heirs the amount of
his policy, on the ground that the deceased vio-
lated the flaws Of the land" In the matter of
his death. The heirs, we understand, will at
once institute suit against the agent of the
Company in this city, for the recovery of the
amount of insurance. Lynch. ReDuJlican.

Jury Laws.

The old law in regard to petit juries is still in
force.
The new law in regard to Grand Juries went
into effect on the 1st inst. It dispenses with
grand juries in the Circuit Court. The County
Court designates four of its terms for grand
juries for general purposes, but the judge may,
in term time or vacation. order special juries !;
for these last, ten persons are summoned and
six may compose the jury. These special ju-
ries are designed mainly to pass upon indct-
ments, so as to obtain speedy trials. though
there seems to be nothing in the law to prevent
these special juries from acting on all subjects
within the ordinary enquiries of these tribu-
nails
1t is not now necessary that the grand juror
shall be a freebooter.
In January of each year the county judge
selects from twenty to one hundred voters from
each township, and from this list the clerk, in
the presence of the Commonwealth Attorney,
draws the names of persons to serve on grand
