WASHINGTON, June 21.-The case Of But
Ter, President and Treasurer of the National
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home, for
which he has drawn large sums, is in the
hands Of The investigating committee, con-
siSting Of Messrs. Negley, Slocum, and
Stoughton. Mr.. Butler made statement
which the committee will corroborate by
sending for persons and papers, the state
ment not being plausible in all respects.
The Senate last night amended the Pacific
Railroad bill by making the Alabama and
Chattanooga railroad and its branches q
part Of said road. It is apprehended that
this amendment will be fatal to the bill, as
it concentrates the opposition of the friends
of the road converging from the initial
point far west of Chattanooga. Senator
pomeroy proposed the amendment. 1t is
in the interest of the thirty-ftt parallel
road, with view of exasperating converg-
ing southern interests, thus defeating any
southern bill this session.
The President has signed the bill donating
the Long Bridge over the Potomac to the
Southern Extension Pennsylvania Central
railroad.
The revenue receipts to-day were $3.50, 900.

THE PoLITICAL ISSUE IN PENNSYLVANIA

The POLITICAL ISSUE IN fESSSYLVASlAi-
The philadelphia Age says;
"The Pennsylvania Democracy are speak
ing upon the white mans question. They
are determined to make this the issue of the
coming contest. On the 9TH instant the De-
mocratic Convention of Fayette county as
sembled ut Uniontown, and after noml.
mating good ticket commenced series Of
outspoken resolutions by. declaring that the
fraudulent and forcible adoption Of the III.
teenth amendment was fragrant outrage
upon the rights Of the States and an inten.
tional insult to the white race. The same
convention also urged the forming OF White
mems clubs for the purpose of restoring the
power of this government to the keeping OF
white men, and urged all men who prefer
the rule of white men to that OF negroes TO
unite with the Democracy in an effort to per-
petuate the institutions OF our country IN the
hands of the white race. This is the path
in which the Democratic party In the old
keystone State will travel In the future.
Negro suffrage was forced upon the white
men of this State by fraudulent means.
They were not allowed to have voice in the
matter. 4 Legislature was elected upon a
far different issue, and then the majority OF
that body ratified the negro amendment.
Had the question of negro suffrage been
submitted to the white men OF Pennsyi-
yania then it would have been defeated by
a large majority, and the same result would
follow an election to-day. The Radicals are
well aware of that fact, and hence the cheat
and swindlc, But it is not too late to ad-
minister an antidoto for the poison and
that the Democracy intend to do. White
men will never allow Pennsylvania to lie
ruled and ruined by negroes"

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN ASHLEY, Mo-
The st. Louis Republican relates the fol-
lowing:
"Some months since Miss Abbie Sum.
merS went from Quincy, where her parents
reside, to Ashley, and engaged as teacher
in the Watson Seminary Of that place. 1t
appears that before she left home young
man named Ambrose Coo, of Galesburg,
ILL.,, had been paying his addresses to her.
He was Of a good family and possessed OF
some means, but his manners and charac-
ter were rcpulsire to the lady, and his re-
peatcd proposals for her hand were reject.
ed. This ill-luck in his suit seems TO have
greatly irriiated his naturally ugly DISPOSE
ton, and he had been heard TO threaten any
one who should ever be more fortunate in
the young lady'S affections. Hopeless and
desperate, he followed Miss Summers from
Quincy to Ashley, and hired himself as
farm laborer near the town for the
purpose of acting the spy on her
actions. 1t appears that on Sunday
he went to town and attended church,
where he saw the young lady in COM
pany with gentleman of her acquaintance.
Coe traced them home and followed them
into the house where Miss Summers
boarded. Going into the room where the
lady was, he asked permission of her to talk
with ner privately, which she granted, the
gentleman who accompanied her from
church retiring. Coe Immediately locked
the door and commenced the work Of butch:
rrlng her with an old knife which he had
procured and sharpened for the murderouS
purpose, The screams of the lady imme'
diately alarmed the whole house, and q
number of persons rushing to the door and
finding it locked, broke it open. They
found Miss Summers lying on the floor in a
pool of her blood with her spine completely
severed, other fatal wounds in her breast,
aud the knite still sticking In the last wound
She died in few moments.
"The maddened lover stood by, begging
those that came In to kill him ut once. Coe
was arrested and placed in Bowling Green
iai to await his trial.
miss Summers was twenty-five years Of
age, and is said to have been beautiful and
highly accomplished. She was the daugh.
