ANOTHER ROCHESTER, TRAGEDY.
A Divorced Husband Taking Ter

A MURDEROUs SURPRISE.
He Shoots His Wife's Paramour and
Then Kills Himself.

ROCHESTER,, July 81, 1872.
A fearful tragedy occurred this evening at about
halfpast ten O'Clock. A man named Burkhardt
Hetzeler lived until few weeks ago with his wife
on the second floor Of one OF the blocks on Main
street, in this city. She recently procured
divorce from him, however, on the ground OF adul.
terry and has since been living alone and receiving
secret visits Of one Jacob Goetzman.
G0etzman had been with her tonight, and was
about taking his leave. They left the bedroom and
proceeded through sitting room, in which the gas
was turned down low, into hall leading through
the kitchen to o rear entrance, by which G0etzmau
could 60 out unobserved by the neghbOrs. The
woman and her paramour supposed at this time
that the divorced husband had LETT Rochester. He
was, however, lying in wait for fearful vengeance.
He had come In from Division street,
climbed through window and stolen up stairs,
taking or his boots and coat to move lightly.
He raised o trap door In the kitchen floor and
waited in the dark, with revolver In his hand.
AS his wife and her param0ur came through tho
hall into the kitchen 1t is supposed that he struck
G0etzman q fearful blow In the face with soma
weapon, and at the same time fired, the ball perc-
ing his breast.
The victim staggered back through tho hall,
closed and bOlted the door between himself and hts
murderer, and then fell dead The woman ned out
through the passage and made her escape.
Hetzcler then shot himself the ball passing
through his bosom at about the same point as THAI
which struck GOetzman, and the unfortunate man
fell on his back, dead.

abolish the hate-such is my desire"
If the republican predictions Of riot and blood
shed in to-day's election should not be full
filed it will be due to such teachings az these,
and will give hope that the Southern States
may yet pass safely through the ordeal of the
present contest. The trial is a severe one for
the administration, for the indiscreet action of
its supporters has fastened upon it the respon-
sibility of any outbreak that may occur, while
all the antecedents of President Grant prove
that the words of Senator Sumner must find
an echo in his heart Should the day pass
peacefully, no matter which side may triumph,
the President should discountenance in the
future such electioneering as has been resorted
to in his behalf in North Carolina He under
stands we'll the danger of exciting the passions
of ignorant negroes and arraying them
against the white citizens with whom their
daily lives arc to be passed. He has
shown in the past his desire to
pile up tho ashes so as to extnguish the
flames kindled by the war. and he should not
permit the characterless political adventurers
by whom he is surrounded to falsify his cred
liable record A victory in North Caroline to-
day will be stripped of all its laurels and prove
valueless, because the world will believe that
it has been won through the prejudices Of
bigoted race, and not through the free verdict
of ON intelligent people. There is no reason
why he should owe his triumphs to any un-
worthy cause He is entitled to the respect of
the men of the South, against whom he fought,
as O brave and generous enemy, and to the
gratitude of the negroes, who owe their freedom
to the triumph of the army he led to VIC
tory. He can afford to be just to the
one and to be Independent Of the
other. When his superserviceable political
adherents force him into different
course they fail to secure the South
and risk the loss of the North. The fear and
trembling with which they now await the
result of con test which ought never to have
been doubtful, and the growing indignation
of the Northern people at the action of the
politicians toward the South should prove to
the President the dangerous position into
which his advisers are leading him. Success
in North Carolina to-day would be to him q
barron victory. Defeat would be disastrous

Admiral Alden's Reception OF the
Prince and Princess or Wales n
Southampton.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales
and Princess Alexandra, his wife, visited
the vessels of the United States feet
at Southampton, under command of
Admiral Alden, yesterday. The reception
of the illustrious party with their friends and
attendants, by the American officer and his
subordinates and sailors, is described at great
length by special cable report in the columns
of the HERALD this morning The scene was
exceedingly brilliant, and the more immediate
ceremonial Of salutation and complimentary
greeting inspiriting in the utmost degree to
the people of both countries.
Admiral Alden s fleet consists of several ships
of-war, carrying unitedly very heavy amount
of metal The frigate Wabash is the flagship
The whole of the vessels are kept in that fine
style of discipline for which the ships Of the
American navy have been remarkable since
Immediately after tho first organization
of that arm of our national service. Admiral
Alden was compelled, however, to shift his
flag some short time since, from the Wabash
to the Brooklyn, owing to the appearance Of
case Of smallpox on the former,
and on the quarter deck of tho Brooklyn he
received his visitors. The Prince and Princess
of Wales embarked on a royal steam yacht
in the afternoon. The yacht was soon espied
from the Brooklyn and her advent signalled to
the others Of the American feet. The English
man neared gracefully, and within very brief
space of time tho Prince, in company with
his consort, stood on the deck of the
Brooklyn. There was blending Of the
flags, the ensign Of the Stars and Stripes en-
folding the drapery Of the Cross of st. George.
very distinguished American party
awaited the arrival of the English
visitors. Then followed personal intro
ductions, the Prince of Wales responding
in each instance of presentation with that hearty
good nature for which he is remarkable.
There were inspections of the decks of the
Brooklyn ON inspection Of the feet by the
Prince-who remarked on going near to the
Wabash, 81 am not afraid of smallpox -
repast on board our flagship and the fare
WELL The American sailors manned the yards
when the Prince and Princess boarded
the Brooklyn, and this honor was. re-
peated when they took their departure.
At this last moment the guns of the whole
American fleet thundered forth simultaneous
salute. The waters of the Solent were lighted
far and wide, and the glory of the setting sun
was made still more glorious by the brilliancy
Of the occasion-the friendly union of the two
great flags which pioneer liberty and defend
civilization.

TIE FIRST STEAMSHIP FROM THE NEITHER
LANDs.-The arrival of the Ariadne, from
Rotterdam, promises to be an event
of some importance as the advance
guard Of new line of communication
with Europe. The Ariadne is the first
Dutch steamship that has ever entered the
port Of New York, and has awakened the his
toric conscience Of the natives of the Neither
lands residing in the city. The event recalls
in dim way the arrival of the little Half
Moon, commanded by Hudson, whose name
is borne by the noble river Of which we are
all so proud. In remembrance of the old
Knickerbocker times, when man had time to
enjoy his beer and his pipe on the delightful
Island of Manhattan, the modern mynheers
will celebrate the arrival Of tho Ariadne with
torchlight procession and pleasant speeches
tonight. 1t is pleasing to have to record the
growing intercourse of our city with all parts
of the world but we hope the next steamship
line established will be an American one. It
is not creditable to our Yankee enterprise that
the whole carrying trade of our port is in the
hands Of foreigners.

OuB New CRY Posi- OFFICE. Considerable
energy is being displayed in pushing on the
work ct the new Post Office, and there is rea-
son TO believe that it will be rooted in by the
end of the year. In view of the amount of
time usually occupied in erecting public build
ings the prospect in this case is very satisfac-
tory. Letus hope that it marks the beginning
OF new era in the management of public
works. 1t would be double boon to the citi-
