A Prominent Citizen and OmcfaI
Of Illinois Murdered In the
Streets OF Springfield.

Hon. Sharon Tyndale, ex- Secretary of
State of Illinois, and a prominent citi
zen of that State, was murdered on Sat
urday morning at an early hour on a
street of Springfield, III, while on his
way from his residence to the depot to
take the train for st. Louis. He left his
home about one O'Clock In the morning
to take the l 80 train, and had scarcely
reached the front part of the building
adjoining his own grounds, known as
Lambs foundry, when he must have
been assailcd by one or more assassins.
A dispatch gives the circumstances of
the finding of the body:
When tie body was found there was
shocking 5ruise on the lett forehead
and temple, which extended down the
check. On the right side of the back of
head, just behind the car, was pistol
bullet wound, into which the probe was
passed four inches in q fronting and
slightly upward direction, and this
wound was necessarily instantaneously
fatal. The shirt collar of the deceased
was torn open and the necktie was found
some distance from the body The body
lay on its face, on the angle formed by
the north wall of the foundry building
and the east side of the coal shed. Near
the body was found an oak stick an inch
and balf wide, an inch and an eighth
thick and two feet two inches long The
ends of this stick are initred off for
about an inch and half in the line of
width. A single, barrcled cartridge-load-
ing Derringer pistol, tied to package
of cartridges and bird. shot, were also
lying near the body.
The murderer or murderers were pre-
pared to do their bloody work effectual-
ly, if necessary, and no doubt the strug-
gle was terrible while it lasted, and the
defense made by Mr.. Tyndale desperate
In this struggle hair was tern from
the heads of the combatants, and Mr..
Tyndale's collar was rent as mentioned
At last, while the men were still locked
in deadly struggle, the robbcr CT an ac-
complicc, for there may have been more
than one robber, placed a pistol close to
the head Of Mr.. Tyndale and fired sin
gle shot, which ended the struggle and
the victims life. The robber then rifed
the body of the victim, but was fright
ened, by some means, from his prey be
fore he had fully completed his work
He took out the pocket-book and seized
the fifty dollars, but left some smaller
sums. He pulled at the gold watch, but
this was secured by a steel chain.

The Material 10 Make American
Citizens,

The Hong Kong correspondent Of the
New York Herald thus alludes to. some
interesting traits in the character of the
Chinese, whom a large party among us
are so warmly in favor of importing to
this country in order to cheaper labor.
He says: az
"The Chinaman will sell his children,
his wife, his limbs, any thing he has,
even his life, for money enough. Some
years ago, when one Of our ships of the
navy was going up the Nankin, a China
man had his ankle so badly fractured
and crushed by some accident that the
surgeon had to amputate it to save his
life. After the operation was over col
lection was taken up on board for the
benefit of the poor fellow, and about a
hundred dollars was soon raised and
raid over TO him. AS soon as this fact
became generally, known the surgeon
was besieged by host of Heather Chi
nees,' all willing and anxious to sell
their feet, limbs, ankles and all for 500
apiece, or even less. But the demand
for that article being rather limited he
declined to invest even at that low rate. !"
TThe New York Sun { Rep. thinks
that injustice is rampant in Cincinnati
for the following reasons:
sTbe Rev. NJ. P. Gaddis, who was
lately Assessor of Internal Revenue in
the Second District. of Ohio, has just
been indicted by the United States Grand
Jury for receiving presents and bribes,
and for attempting to bribe an Assistant
Assessor. There may be some cause
for making an exception of Gaddis; but
when the Hon. Jesse r. Grant attempts
to bribe an Assessor, and is protected
by the President of the United States,
and when the President himself appoints
men to office in return for presents made
to him, and when he retains in the State
Department and covers with honors the
man whom the Legislature Of Massa-
chusetts has pronounced guilty of ia
king bribes, whas is the sense of inoict-
ing poor Gaddis? !? Is he any worse than
U. S. Grant, Jesse R. Grant, or Bancroft
Davis, except that he is less conspicu-
GUS and has fewer friends %

~Chiness laborers on plantation

w Chinese laborers on plantations
in Louisiana are striking" An over
seer, discovering that they worked ex-
ceedingly slow, set them to hoeing on
parallel rows with gang of negroes, in
order to give them an idea of the amount
of labor expected. They took umbrage
at this,and made it the 2retext for enter,
ing complaint for breach of contract,
contending that the English translation
of their contract differs from the origin
al Since their first arrival they have
been very exacting, and many Of their
demands have been almost frivolous.-
On one occasion they demanded that
their firewood should be brought to the
door, and at another time asked to have
water hauled for their especial benefit.

EEIn 1856, when the Fenians set
about releasing Ireland from the British
rule by attempting to capture Canada,
they left twenty of their number. in. the
hands Of the Canadian authorities These
prisoners were subsequently, tried in the
Canadian courts, and were sentenced to
be hanged. Their sentence was after
wards commuted, however to imrrison-
ment for twenty years in the penitentia-
ry at Kingston. Since that time three
of their number have been released, but
the remaining seventeen are still serving
out their sentence. All Of them, al
though Of Irish birth, are naturalized
citizens of the United States.

Sudden Deaths in the Ministry.

Three sudden deaths in the ministry
have recently occurred. On the 18th
ult., Rev. George Bradley (Methodist),
of Michigan, while in New York to con
suit respecting the mission work among
the Indians in his State, was found 5in-
sensible in the street,and died in coach
before medical assistance could be reach
ed. A few days after Rev. William
Stewart (Episcopal), of Waterford, N.
j., expired while working in his garden !;
and not long before, Rev. F. W. Smith
(Methodist), of Easton, Conn, died
suddenly at breakfast table, while at
tending the Stamford Conference.

The Bonnet Carre CrevaSse.

New ORLEANS, May l Several hun
dred persons went on an excursion to
Bonnet Carre crevasse yesterday. The
levee on either side is still giving away,
although unremitting labor is being
made to stop the further spread of the
crevasse. The roar of the current at
the break can be heard at a distance of
more than mile. Well informed plan
tiers estimate that the loss to the sugar
crop will exceed 10000 hogsheads.

EIt is stated tbat the day befc

EFIt is stated that the day before
General Harrison was inaugurated, Pres
ident Van Buren called on him and said,
"Is there anything can do to oblige
you?" EYES" said General Harrison ;
"mv son-in-law, General Pike, died on
the battle field and left an only son,
whose inclinations are as his fathers
for the army; / can not appoint him.
"Is that all 2" said the President, and in
two hours the commission was signed
by President Van. Buren, and sent to the
young man. How striking the contrast
between the views and conduct of Cen
eral Harrison and those Of General
Grant, who has quartered all of his re-
latives, near and remote, on the Gov
ernment !-NdShUiUe Union.

EgThe Ohio Statesman says of the
present Legislature of Ohio, which our
readers will please bear in mind has a
Radical majority in both branches:
"This Legislature will go into history
as one of the most inefficient the State
has ever known, ,and this particularly will
be the reputation of the House of Rep
resentatives. The Senate,as "a body was
somewhat better. With an abundance
of fairish ability among the Representa-
tives, there has been painful lack Of in
telligent, conceded leadership"

nEA CORRESPONDENT of Southe]

EA correspondent of Southern
paper writes this of Natchez: s'Natchez
is sadly changed. The aristocracY, proud
and exclusive, yet generous and chrival-
ric, have disappeared. Their places are
desolate, and in their ornamented
grounds, the owl and fox have their nests.
Large plantations, once yielding net
income of from $4,000 to $40, ,0OO. now
lie uncultivated, or deformed with little,
half cultivated patches of cotton; and
the graves of the household, once deco
rated with the rarest flowers, are now
overgrown with brambles."

wIf the Communists of Paris could
only secure the services of that long
nosed fellow of Nevada, they could test
the soundness Of the remark of Napo-

make good Generals. We are told there

Nevada, whose nose is such extraordin-
ary length that he can only take liquids

ries with him-the straw or tube having
to be inserted in the corner of his mouth,
as his nose will not allow it to go in the
middle.

Haven't had any fun with the
Iand-lubbers till Thursday night,
at a dance. When l arrived in the
cabin, found 'em under way on a
Spanish dance. Took my station in
line with Susan Tucker, fell back
and filed, then shot ahead two faith
oms; hauled up on the starboard
tack to let another crafs pass, and
came stern on another sail, spoke
her, and bore round against the sun,
and fell in with another sail in full
chase. Passed twenty sail on the
same course; and when half across
to the shore, dropped astern-fell
back-couldn't fill, so let go anchor,
and hauled up for repairs. Next
time, 1 was drawn into the current
by a cowtillion, but didn't make
much headway. Shot ahead with
Betsy Stark, and sailed over to the
other coast. To1S a turn opposite,
ran abreast twice towards other
crafts, and back astern again; moved
round to starboard; passed near
partners lights, and made sail to
berth. Third time ran into port
with the tune of the tempest, the
Yankee tar's fayorite. Proceeding
along up the coast, according to the
regular order Of sailing, bore ahead
again; rounded to; then passing adj
versary, yard arm by yard arm, lock
ed astern with the whole squadron
in circular order of sailing. Sally
