offices within few weeks l asst, has
been arrested. We find the following
paragraph in relation to him in the
Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday last.
Frank W. Prince, the suspected
stamp thief, arrested in Wheeling last
Thursday, was examined on Saturday
and found guilty, the stamps in his
possession being fully identified as
those stolen from Postmaster Moon,
of Wilmington, Ohio, on the oath of
last April Prince, in charge of a
Deputy Marshal, left for Cincinnati
on the midnight train. Ha4
He passed through this place on

We regret to learn that Mr.. Geo
Snodgrass was robbed of about two
hundred dollars while on the train
going west week before last. We
have seen a letter written by enc of
the family, which states that the act
was done in the night on the train at
Dayton. The letter says: They { Mr..
& Mrs. S. } had beer. drugged by some
thing, that so stupefed them that they
could not speak. At this point man
stepped up to Mr.. Snowgrass, took
his pocket book from his side pocket,
distracted the money, and laid the
pocket book on the seat between them.
They both saw the man do it, but were
unable to speak or move. The man
then deliberately walked out of the
cars and disappeared. There were 9
few other passengers in the cars who
were lying on their seats sleeping, and
they too seem to have been affected
and it was some time before they re-
vived sufficiently to speak, but it was
then too late, the rogue had fled. >

MosT INFAMoUs.-A piece of vii
lainy took place near Essex, Union
county, on Saturday, April 29th, the
facts III regard to which are substan-
TALLY as follows. Two brutes, in
human shape, one named Wallace Lin :
der, of Redwood, about "a years of
age, the other, Samuel Stout, who
lives near Pharisburg, and is mar
ried man, with a family of six chill
dFen, selected Msry Harper, young
girl of II, living with her parents near
Essex, as their victim, and started for
her residence on the evening named,
in buggy. Stout stopped on the
road and Linder drove to the house
alone. The latter represented the OBJ
ject of his visit to be to hire the girl
to assist his grandmother, and finally
effected an arrangement for her to ac
company him. When he came to
where his accomplice was secreted
they drove into the woods together
and there effected their hellish pur-
pose. Afterwards they took the girl
part Of the way home and setting her
and her clothes out in the road drove
of to Redwood. The villaiI have
not yet been captured d-DeLnleeTe Gaz.

Il meant what it said. Mr.. Greeley never
charged that Mr.. Orton, then, like bis and
your associate, Mr.. Collector Murphy, formerly,
recommended the election of John T. Hoff-
man. He did and does charge that yos gave
his circular that meaning, by needlessly and
criminally inclosing Democratic State ticket

about; perhaps you didn't. In either case
your famous "decoy scheme" ended in max
ing Democratic deooy of yourself, to the

D. KANE 0'DoNNELL, for several years one
of the correspondents and editorial writers of
THE TRIBUNE, died in Philadelphia yesterday
morning. We have given elsewhere brief
outline of the career of this clever journalist
and most loveable gentleman. The disease
which has carried him off in the flower of his
age had preyed upon him for several years,
and defeated more than once his dreams of lit
erary distinction. As journalist consequently
his reputation, good as it was, never was COM
mensurate with his abilities. To one like him
indeed, who was as modest and sensitive as a
girl, reputation comes but slowly. Honest,
loyal, and manly, he combined with sterling
independence and vigorous individuality rare
in any walk Of life, tenderness Of disposition
and delicacy of feeling especially remarkable
in the profession to which he devoted himself.
Though man of earnest convictions and
warm sympathies, he never spoke an ill-natured
word even in the heat of political or social
controversy, and he never made an enemy.
Those who were 80 fortunate as to be assO-
ciated with him, as we were during his best
years, will remember him as one whose graces
of character shed luster over every step OF
his life, and whose intellectual gifts were
beautifed by the daily practice Of all the
Christian virtues.
New-York tribune., 1871-09-09

Phillips as to which could 60 furthest In PAN
dering to that social discomfort, the mani
fsststion of which they indorsed in the Paris
Commune. But this comparison is unjust to
Mr.. Butler. Mr.. Philips has q past Of devo-
ton to high ends which forbids implicit trust
in him as demagogue. But Gen. Buffers
present is consistent with his past. The
speeches he is now making are noble con-
tributons to his unfinished biography. They
will give 1t q rounded completeness. They
are studies in the art Of fattering the masses
and catering to the lower prejudices. And
vet, if we should criticise these productions
we should say that the purpose was almost
too apparent. 81 am plain, blunt man, who
"speaks right out" says Mr.. Butler. at Lynn.
al mean to stand square upon all matters" !"
There appears to be an attempt in these
speeches to produce that impression. Ii Gen.
Butler fails at all, it is that this attempt is
too apparent. He is the brother of the labOrer;
he ia the dry, bosom friend OF the total absti-
nence man; he is more. nearly woman than
the female suffragists themselves. And the
saddest part of it is, that every party sees
Butler behind all these professions. What
friend of all the poor and the oppressed is
berel "If am not sustained in more cabins
"by the prayers of the colored men than any
&" other commander in the army, will never
"appear in public again." If Gen. Butler will
stand by this, it is worth while to have Con-
gress Commission issued to ascertain how much
he is sustained by prayer. Well, friendship
to the colored man is good reply to ell the
charges of the Generals enemies. Here 8
"yer nice roast chick'n," cried an aged colored
man, as the cars stopped at Virginia railway
station. "Here g yer roast chick'n, n taters,
"all nice and hot" holding his plate aloft and
walking the platform. "Where did you get
"that chicken, Unclep asks passenger
Uncle looks at the intruder sharply, and then
turns away, crying, "Here's yer nice roast
"chick'n, gentl'm'n, all hot; needn't go in dc
"house for dat.n "Where did you get that
"chick'ni Z" repeats the inquisitive passenger.
"Look-a-yer," says Uncle, speaking privately,
"is you from de Norff" "Yes." "Is you
friend of de cullud mani' 1" hope l am"
"Den don't you nebber ask me whar 1 got
".dat chickn. Here 3 yer nice roast chickn,
"all hot"
Gen. Butler stands and begs the people OF
Massachusetts to make him their Governor.
He exhibits all these peculiar qualifications In
these speeches. If they do not take him it
will be their fault, and Butler will not be to
blame. But cold weather ia approaching, and
IL they do take him, they should reflect how
it will be possible to enjoy real Thanksgiving
and not kill off their turkey goblers.
