A remarkable case of circums,antia
evidence, leading to the hanging for murder
Of an innocent man, has just come to light,
and is published in the Courier Journal. In
the year 1877, DIR. Sanderson was murdered
in Metcalf county, Kentucky, and John G.
Hamilton was executed as his assassin. All
the circumstances connected with the case
pointed so surely towards Mr.. Hamilton as
the murderer, that no jury on earth could
have failed to convict him the victims
money was found in his possession ~overalls
belonging to him were found spotted with
blood he had borrowed the pistol with
which Sanderson was killed, and he was
the last man seen in his company in a lone
ly road near which the mangled BODY was
found. Little could be done by the de fend
ants counsel save showing his clients good
character and giving his extremely improb:
able explanation of the whole case. His
state ments we're not corroborated, and he
was hanged. In 1869, Richard q. Rousseau.
then Minister to Central America, learned
through unquestionable sources that about
thirty or thirty five years ago man was
executed for murder in the eastern part OF
Mississippi who, under the g~allows. confess:
ed that it was he and a comrade of his who
had murdered Sanderson, w~renching from
his hand the pistol which Hamilton had
lent him, and blowing his brains out With

a New p arty.

A Washington special of the 18th says
Senator Trumbull, on being interviewed to
day by q correspondent, took occasion
among other things to say that he did not
exactly indorse the formation of a new
party, to be known as the revenue reform
party, as proposed by the Chicago Tribune
of Friday last, but believes at the same
time that the civil service and revenue re-
form will be the future great issne between
parties in this country. In abort, Mr.
Trumbull calls himself a republican in fsvo,
OF legisla.ing for revenue and civil service
reform. Forney's Chronicle to day, however
insists that Trumbull has secretly come on,
for a new party of the above name, and tina,
he is its candidate for President. The new
movement creates considerable talk here.
Forney says the Chicago Tribune abandons
all hope of elecsing a republican Presiden,

The New Policy.

A Pe%nnsylvaniA paper published under
the shadow of Philadelphis says that Gen.
B. F. Butler of whom We have not seen fit
to speak for some time, has spoken Tor
himself. He heads q new movement.
Disposed to give the oldest boy his due. we
must say that in some things he has we'll
said, if in others he has very badly said. He
thinks the Republican party going to pieces.
So it is. He thinks it not united upon q
single question of public policy. Exactly
SO. Hs thinks i, gives no hearty support to
the Administration. True. He thinks it
has lived for the last two years upon war
memories. Very much the case. And
then he rushes to the rescue Of the party
How shall it be saved Turning ou1
reformasory secretaries is not to his mind
We need a more heroic remedy. Let
Jonathan challenge John. We are
wounded. We must have redress. Let us
grid on our war garments. To arms 10
Arms ! The Alabama claims. Let Grant
bring out all our artillery. Send a swift
winged courier to London. Let the loud alarm
trumpet, blow. Give US Canada and we
will be pacifed. Refuse to give us these
provinces and we will have a laundering
war. This is our %ultimstun in the Alaba-
ma matter. Let Grant espouse this policy !;
and, 10 the great Republican party is once
again a unit the tariff question will no
longer break its back upon the Alleghenies;
the administration will become popular !;
and Gen Grant can be carried into his
second term with a tremendous suffrage.
So comes q still small voice across the
land-a whisper from Gen. Butler.
