The Late Tragedy I'm WinnebagO
County.

The Late Tragedy I'm WinnebaSo
County.
CHICAGO, January 30.-The following
are the particulars, so far as they are
obtained, of the recent bloody tragedy
perpetrated at Rock Grove, Winnebago
county, Illinois: A farmer, name not
given, residing between Spring Grove
and Rock Grove, recently sold his farm
and received the money. Last Tuesday
or Wednesday night he left his home
and went to Rock Run. Returning
from there, as he neared his home, he
was confronted by a man who demanded
his money. The farmer drew a revolver
and shot the robber dead. Starting for
his house he encountered two other
men, each OF whom he despatched with
his revolver. Entering his house, he
found his wife and daughter weltering
in their blood, the latter being dead.
His wife, though badly hurt, was not
dead. When last heard from one OF
the dead men was recognized as the
stranger who had recently attempted
the purchase from the man whom he
tried to rob. This story seems to be
improbable, but the details come from
several different sources, and are nearly
identical.

Great Britain and other European coun-
tries will doubtless do nobly, but we too
should promptly send several cargoes
of food to the famishing millions OF
France. Hundreds Of thousands must
perish of want unless saved by volunteer
contributions Of bread and seed from
abroad, and European charity will have
been exhausted by the time our first
contributions can reach a French port;

Consulate last week in aid Of the Ger

Another Circular by Rufus Hatch
The third circular by Rufus Hatch
is published, in which he endeavors to
expose some of the early manipulations
connected with the Chicago and North
western Railway Company. His strong
point seems to be that subsidies in the
form of land grants, given for the pur-
pose of insuring the completion OF the
road, have been gobbled up by shrewd
speculators and diverted from the pur-
pose of the grantors, greatly to the
detriment of the commerce and trafhc
of the country.

Effects OF the Surrender Of Paris
An Appeal for Aid.

An Appeal for Aid.
New YORK, January 3O.-The news
Of the capitulation OF Paris, though
anticipated for several days, caused con-
siderable excitement among our Ger
man fellow citizens. Most OF the public
places where Germans congregate were
yesterday crowded by men who met
there as friends to discuss the prospects
of the war. The story OF the contem-
plated restoration Of the Bonapartists
by the German Government is entirely
discredited in German circles, but it is
believed the French people will be left
10 form new Government after they
have accepted the terms Of peace offered
by the Germans after final surrender.
The opinion, however, prevails general
ly among the Germans that the French
will not be able to maintain republic.
The news of the surrender has deep
ened the depression that has for some
time been felt by the French residents
of this city. 1t was not expected by
them, as the news Of the past two or
three days tending to show that the
crisis was near at hand had been con-
sidered doubtful, as coming from Prus-
sian sources. 1t is still insisted by
many Frenchmen that, on the basis OF
the cession OF territory, the terms will
not be accepted, and that the war will
be continued until the French people
are enabled to drive the invaders from
their soil by new armies to be formed
A prominent Metropolitan journal,
this morning, says: Now that the
war is virtually it not formally closed,
it is high time for a concerted effort to
mitigate the sufferings of its surviving
victims, and suggests a prompt
organization in this city for a
systematic and vigorous effort to
bring the needs of the wounded, the sick,
the houseless, the foodless myriads
home to every American hearth, adding
that if the movement be properly in.

village incur broad land will generously

ments, the bill to provide for State

RADIO.
Mr.. Trumbull moved TO take up the
Georgia question, remarking that the
questions involved were those OF la"
and fact, and that if general discussion
on reconstruction questions was avoided
the subject could be disposed of this

Mr. Trumbulrs motion prevailed.
A resolution from majority OF the
Judiciary committee declaring Mr.. Hill
entitled to his seat, was then read, and
Mr.. Trumbull, supporting the validity
of the election, proceeded TO detail the
circumstances under which it took
place
Mr.. Stewart moved, as a substitute
for the majority resolution, that OF the
minority OF the Judiciary committee
declaring Henry p. Farrow and Rich
ard II. White entitled to seats in the
Senate.
Mr.. Stewards motion was rejected.
The question recurring on the resolu
ton declaring that Mr.. Hill was enti
tied to seat, Mr.. Thurman, Democratic
member of the Judiciary committee
moved an amendment adding the name
of Mr.. Miller as Senator elect from
Georgia. He temporarily withdrew the
amendment, at the request of Mr.
Trumbull to permit direct vote on
the resolution.
Mr.. Stewart moved TO substitute the
name of Henry P. Farrow for Hill.
Mr.. Howard, Of Georgia, said that
the Georgia State Government was pro
visional, subject to the authority Of
Congress, and that its validity was Sc
cured in its subsequent recognition by
Congress. He held that the election
OF Hill in 1868 was legal and proper.
Mr.. Rice, from the minority of the
Judiciary committee on the subject, ad'
vecated the claims of Messrs. Farrow
and Whitley.
Mr.. Stewart spoke at length upon the
point that the Legislature Of 1868 was
incapable :of electing Senators because
of noncompliance with the terms oi
the l4th amendment and reconstruction
acts.
Mr.. Carpenter, a member Of the Ju
dietary committee, replied at length to
Mr.. Stewart and explained the reasons
governing the action Of the majority.
Without reaching vote the Senate
