A L1rrLs raMILY soUABBLR.

Under this heading we should class
the little misunderstanding whicharose
In the United States Senate on the 18th
instant, the combatants being Senators
Stewart and Nye on the one side, and
Sumner OIL the other. The controversy
o over the proposed admission of
Virginia III Virginia, the noble
conduct of whose valiant sons Is the
admiration of all observers. A petit
ton was presented from thirteen Rad
icals, whose failure to obtain office had
doubtless reused all the latent feelings
of patriotism in their u~nfeeling breasts,
praying that admission should be de-
MED, and alleging, rs a reason there
for, that reconstruction was not ON
plete; that the old spirit Of rebellion
had not been effectually quelled.
Upon this petition a debate arose,
which was participated in by the
worthless aforementioned. The follow
ling are the closing remarks OF tho
Senatorial sladiatorS:
"Senator Nye thought the commu-
nication disrespectful and should be
excluded from the Senate. He eS-
pressed surprise that Senator Sumner
should present such a paper, and de-
clared that not one of the charges
against Walker was true. The records
of the War Department show that he
offered his services to put down the
rebellion. He (Nye) was tired OF the
reconstruction hobby, which had been
ridden through Congress so many
years.
sSenator Stewart defended Governor
Walker, and denounced the efforts OF
the memorialists as being actuated by
sinister motives; he said several of the
signers were defeated candidates for
office and oilice-holders who Will be
put out by the admission Of Virginia.
"Senator Sumner regretted that the
Senators from Nevada had gone over
to the Democrats on the question.
"Senator Stewart replied by saying
that he would exercise his own respon-
sibility, and did not recognize Senator
Summers claim to superiority
The petition was presented BY SEN
ator Sumner, known in court circles rs
the gorgeous Chawles;" Senator
1--WE, whose Roman nose and bald pate
are the only characteristics which en-
title him to the appellatlon of tho
"Grey Eagle" and Senator Stewart,
better known by the e%uphonious cogno-
men of Sage Brush BILL" took strong
ground against the petition of the Vir.
ginia "s0reheads." Nyc and Stewart,
It is well known, are among the most
ultra radicals In the Senate, and any
action of theirs, which Is the least COIL
sentative in its tendency, gives rise to
genuine surprise and establishment.
To those who listened to the very
radical harangue delivered by Senator
Stewart in this city OIL the Fourth Of
July last, In response to an invitation
from all classes of citizens, who al
least expected to hear Il patriotic adj
dress, this conservative conduct In de
Tense of Governor Walker will indeed
be Il matter of wonderment. We arc
almost induced to eXclaim, "Can sucl
things be, and overcome lis like q sun
mer cloud without Il special won
der?" But we forbcar the expression
rs too dignitied for the occasion, and
merely inquire. "Why is this thus ?

MEXICO Is OH the V Of another gen.
eral rebellion. The rebellion in
Puebla remains unchecked. The GEN.
cral sent to suppress it has resigned,
and the insurgents have gained posses
sion of several towns, driving there
from the Government troops. In San
Luis Potosi a revolution Is also i'll ac-
tive progress and is daily gaining
strength. Those instructions will be
rapidly followed by Others, and in a
very short time half a dozen separate
and distinct civil wars will be raging
in our sister Republic. If the Mexicans
would only agree among each other to
Law down their arms, refrain from Is
suing pronunciamentos, and invoke
the protection of the United States,
they might have a prosperous country.
But they are jealous of Us, distruSt one
another. and never seem so happy rs
when they have 4 few revolutions in
progress at one and the same tire,
with the accompanying skirmishes,
forays and executions. Poor Mexico!

An UNFORTUNATE MARRIAGE.

A few days since q man named Men
del Jaretsky encountered n woman III
this city under peculiar circumstances,
and each fell suddenly In love. He
had some money, and they were con-
WINGED that they would be much hap
pier together than they could be living
apart. Besides their mutual love, the
basis of their union was 4 note for
80, 900 from him to her. A note Of
this kind was given, and the wedding
took place.
At night she refused to occupy the
bridal couch unless the bridegroom
paid her the sum of $40. Next day
She demanded presents of u costly de-
scriptiOn-a shawl, .jewelry, etc. Her
demands oil his purse were numerous
and eXacting, and lie saw that he had
made u bad match. They quarreled
incessaatly. fought and came out from
the pale glimpses of the honeymoon to
the bald exposure Of the criminal
courts.
1t then became known to all the
world that their marital state was one
of war. There had been mutual blows

the wife, although the larger party,

They deliberately agreed to separate
forever. She wanted 800 for her eX-
pericnce; lie consented to give 1t. A
lawyer was employed to draw up the
necessary papers; he went to their
house, corner of Geary and Dupont
streets. A Mrs. Mason appeared
OH the scene as the adviser of the
wife she advised her to de-
mand $500; that was. consented to
and the papers drawn for it. Then
Mrs. Mason raised her for the original
$1,000; lie wanted that for his chill
dren, and had decided his property to
his brother-in-law in trust for them.
The wife heard of 1t; she could not
bear the stroke. She met her lord on
the stairs and down he went ; he sprang
Up and q fight ensued, but they were
separated. Yesterday when the ase

was present, but the attorney for the

journment, as the prisoner, who was
on bail, had cut his throat. The post
ponement was granted, and the wife
left the hall.

On Christmas evening a sub-con-
tractor on the Mississippi River Kali
road. named George Matthew's, GOT on
a spree In his cabin, near Big creek
Bridge. and while he and his father
were carousing together, an empioye
came to him and told him that he had
seen his (Mathews') wife SO to q certain
negro cabin near by with q man named
Dunn, also III employe.
This information fired the drunken
mind Of her husband with an over
whelming jealousy, and he straight
way left the cabin to pursue her;
holding In his hand a half-emptled
whisky bottle. IL ~,
Entering the cabin where his wife
was, he exclaimed: "By God! Mrs.
Mathews, Is that you?" and struck her
on the head with the bottle, telling her
to the floor, senseless. The Infatuated
brute then commenced stamping her
with his heavy boots, each stamp
crushing the head of the poor helpless
woman, who lay at his mercy on the
floor.
This devilish scene stirred the heart
of the negro in whose cabin 1t occurred,
and he attempted to intercede for her,
but he only succeeded in stopping the
fiend q moment. Begging him not to
murder her In his cabin, he persuaded
Mathews to desist; but the demon
was aroused, and nought short Of mTr-
der would satisfy him. Selling the
insensible woman by the hair, lie
dragged her out of the cabin to a cor,
ner Of the fencing which surrounded
it, and there he deliberately continued
the process of crushing her skull with
his feet-literally stamping her head
to pieces.
After killing her, Mathews took on
her shoes and stockings and threw
them IN the fence corner. lie then
took the corpse, carried it into the
house and laid 1t on the bed, all bloody
and befouled as it was.
Tile murlerous flend, his brain some
what cleared of the fumes of liquor,
fled, and has not been arrested. lii
fatler, however, who was n party tf
the affair. was apprehended the hex
day and brought to this city. .

MEsNERIsM.-On the first page of
the E~aierpri,e Of this morning will be
seen n lengthy advertisement from
Conrad Wiesand, editor of the Peoples
Tribune. explanatory Of his late UNI
pleasant interview with Gen. Winters.
The style of the explanation is inim-
table. In some respects, there Is moth
ing like it in the English language.
One portion of the explanation is es-
pecially noteworthy and amusing
that referring to Mr.. wiegand's at
tempt to meSmerize Gen. Winters IN
the heat of their controversy. 1t was
not an entire success, yet Mr.. Wiegand
eoolly informs us that his mesmeric
efforts doubtless Influenced Gen. Win
tiers to the extent of saving his (Wie-
Sand's) life, and would have made his
assailant rs docile rs a lamb in half an
hour. 1t Is evident that Winters does
not mesmerize worth a cent; yet the
fict that he could not be brought COM
plctely under the influence by Mr..
WieSand. does not shake the filth Of
the latter in the efficacy of the science.
To all who know Mr.. wiegand, there
Is genuine entertainment In the card.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AGITAqIoN.-H,
them woman suffrage is II of the
coming changes of the future, 1t seems
q greater revolution than that which
overturned negro slavery. Fora very
large majority of women are so far
from striking for their own so-called
liberties as actually to be Indifferent,
hostile, or disguised with the whole
subject. This for the "agitators Is
the dampest of wet blankets. 1t is a
rebellion by proclamation of u few; 4
rebellion without many rebels. The
"agitators" will gain nothing by hys-
terically shrieking: "Sisters, we must
have our rights we ought to have
them! we won't stand this thing any
longer! .we're just as good as a man "
Sisters, this thing won't do. When
woman casts off dignity, she loses all
her influence. Man does mlconscionsly

That will take q great while. The
process may outlast your generation.
You may not then become Office hold

But the young girl Of today Is growing
upin this agitation. In school, street
and home she may, bit by bit, imblbe

she may unconsciously sift and divide,
