The Tragedy AT Ashley. Mo.

The mlrder Of Miss Abbis Summers
at Ashley, Mo, already reported by ,elc.
graph, has caused much excitement where
it occurred, and also at Quincy, ILL.,,
where the unfortunate young lady was
we'll known and greatly admired. We
have received several letters on the sub.
jcct, and the following is the substance
Of them:
Some months since Miss Summers went
from Quincy, where her parents reside, to
Ashley, ond engaged as a teacher in che
Watson seminary of that place. II ap-
pears that before she left home young
man named Ambrose Coe, of Galesburg,
Iii. had been paying his addresses to her
Hc was Of good family and possessed Of
some means, but his manners and char.
acter were repulsivo to tho lady, and his
repeated proposals for her hand were re
jected. This i'll luck In his suit seems to
have greatly irritatcd his naturally ugly
disposition, 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
tho town for the purpose OF acting the
spy on her actions. 1t appears that last
Sunday he went to town and attended
church, where he saw the young lady in
company with gentleman Of her acqain
tancc, Coc traced thcm home, snd fol.
lowed them into the house where Miss
Snmmars hnardna-- q Goiug into tho room
where the lady was, he asked permission
Of her to talk with her privately, which
che granted, the gentleman who accom-
panied her from church retiring. Coe
immediately locked the door aud COM
menced the work Of butchering her with
an old knife which be had procured, and
sharpeued for the murderous purpose.
The screams Of the lady Immediately
alarmed the whole house, and number
Of persons rushing to the door and fning
it locked, broke it open. They found
Miss Summers lying on the foor in pool
Of her blood, with her spine completely
severed, other fatal wounds in her breast,
and the knife still sticking in the last
wound. She died in few moments.
The maddeued lover stood by, begging
those that came in to kill him at once.
Coe was arrested and placed in Bowling
Green Jail, to await his trial, and has not
been lynched as was first reported.
Miss Summers was 90 years Of age, and
is said to have been highl y accomplished.
She was the daughter of estimable pa
rents, who reside in Quincy. The steamer
Harry johnson, which left this city on
Monday last, took her body on board at
Louisiana, Mo, attended by Major Fogg,
OF Quincy. and Prof. Watkins. of Watson
Seminary at Ashley. - Republican.

From the Rochester Cuion, Saturday.
Richmond and aytica-ParaIIel Cases

According to dispatches from Washing
ION TO the New York Times, President
Grant. on receiving a delegation of Firgi
MIA Republicans Thursday morning, took
occasion to correct an error into which Sc
veral papers had unwittingly fallen by
saving that General Candy had no special
orders to interfere in the Richmond trou-
bles, but that he had positive standing Or
ders to preserve the peace and prevent riot
and bloodshed. /" Had he not done So"
the President remarked, she would have
rendered himself liable to official repToof."
All of which simply goes to show, what has
been shown scores of times before, that the
President told the truth when he asked to
be excused from accompanying Minister
Campbell on the mission to Mexico
when ordered as General of the Army
to do go, and stated as u reason
that he was wholly unified both by
taste and education for civil duty.
Force has been the standing rule Of his
life and is the law Of his nature, and lie
has little more appreciation Of constitu-
tonal right and restraint than drlll-ser-
geant 1t may be true that General Candy,
as Il subordinate military commander,
would have rendered himself liable to Off
cial reproof if he had not obeyed his oc-
ders, but ii is indisputable that the Pres-
dent had no warrant of authority whatever
for the issuance Of such orders. ii the
Federal CommanIcr-in-Ch has lawful
mower to give General Candy the positive
standing iders which he says have been
riyen him, then lie has TIE same iowcr to
rive Mcdowell similar orders iOr the State
Of New York. And we have case now ut
Utica parallel to that at Richmond, and
call;nr lust as much for Federal inter-
ference. \ dispatch this morning says:
"UTICA, March %.
lon Wednesday evening the Common
Council at special meeting appointed a
police force and adjou ned two weeks. To-
night the Mayor, James McQuadc, and
few Of the aldermen met in regular sess on.
Absentees were notified to be present, but
failed to come. \ messenger and ponce
force were sent to compel them to attend.
The Mayor and police force are in the
Council room. The other body of aldermen
are in the Mansion House, with doors
locked and police surrounding the house.
The Recorder threatens to arrest tue police
unless they leave the promises"
Why does not Grant, il he is to preserve
the public peace and thrust his bayonets in
| between parties to municipal squabbles,
order a force to Utica Has he not as much
| right, aud is he not as much bound as q
matter of duty, to do so as 10 o:der inter
ference in similar contest at Richmond
1t is not to be wondered at that the regu-
lar army found so few friends in the House
of Representatives during the discussion
upon Logan's bill cutting down the iorce'
rank, and pay, which has passed that cody
and s now pending in the Senate. That
army has been brought into disrepute and
made odous in some respects by the base
uses to which it has been put BY its leading
officers, like Grant, Sheridan, Pope, Candy,
Ames, and the rest.

SOCIAL EQUALITY IN CHARLESTON, S. c.
On Saturday number of negroes made
raids upon the various bar-rooms and res
taurants in Charleston, S. c., for the pur-
pose of testing the civil rights bill. They
were evidently organized by Magistrate T..
J. Mackey, who seems to be the prime
mover in the matter, for while two of them
would go in and demand drinks, a constable
with warrant ready at hand would stand
outside. In the evening party consisting of
Mitchell, the Clerk of the Council, Hampton,
Mishaw, and others, went into Mr.. Stell-
ings bar-room and called for drinks. The
attendant supplied them but refused to re
ceive pay. Knowing this fact they called
for more drinks, and having satisfied them
selves, left. A number of restaurant keep
ers have held meeting and resolved to test
the legality of the vile social equality bill
recently. passed by the Legislature

THAT REyERED INSTRUMENT. "--JuLIIS
CESAR said that he could not understand
how two Roman augurs could look each
o:her in the face without laughing; yet he
himself increased the number of the au-
ours. General GRANT must be a man after
the same pattern. For surely he knows
that Congress has for years totally disre-
garded the Constitution, violating not its
spirit merely, but its very letter in nu-
merous instances, and yet in his last pro-
clumation he speaks of the Constitution as
that "revered instrument" He must have
had hearty laugh over this excellent joke
The first time he met SUMNER or WILSON or
TRCNruLL or DRAKE, or, indeed, any of the
leaders Of his party, after he had got it of.
