Further details of the homicide in Liberty
st. prove it to have been one of the most brutal
murders ever committed. The murdered man
received fourteen stabs, any one of which
would have been fatal. They seem to have
been inflicted in moments of ungovernable
passion, and the malice, if not the premedita-
ton, of the murderer is clear. The two men
were VIGOROUSLY bad. and the bloody end of
their lives seems the natural result of career
OF fraud.

where in the world Is such an amount of capital

and nowhere is there collection Of objects of art

market for such objects partly through the educa-

Partisan ateliers which have so long formed the

The chain Of circumstantial evidence which
the prosecution very skillfully wrought against
Dr. Irish, charged with the murder of Assessor
Anderson, seems to be broken in many points
by the testimony for the prisoner. The fact
is that the evidence thus far elected bore
harder upon Mrs. Anderson than upon her
alleged associate in crime, and was by no
means conclusive as to either. The proof of
guilt has been purely circumstantial and of a
character generally, to be accepted with great
caution.

Mr.. James Brooks is gentleman from
whom THE TRIBUNE has differed so often and
so radically that there need be less hesitation
in saying now that the dispatches seem to
show him fairly confronting the charges
against him in connection with the Credit
Mobilier business. Mr.. Brooks says substantially
what SO many others have said, that Col. Nc
Comb does not possess a character which would
recommend him as a Sunday-school teacher,
or q candidate for pastoral honOrs in an evan
gelical church. But our New-York Editor
Congressman Is quite right in the conclusion
he reaches--that the case, as made up, de-
mands the fullest investigation, and Kidding
from top to bottom. Col. McCombs character
is not O matter Of much consequence. The
question in issue is whether the list
of Congressman with whom Mr. Ames
placed stock where it would do
good, which McComb said he noted down
from Ames's statement on the back of
Ames's letters, is true or false. Prove that
true, and McComb's character, no matter how
bad, affords no help. Prove it false, and no
amount of good character on McCombs part
would hurt the Congressman he accuses.

In view OF the present excitement in life insurance
circles with reference to change Of rates the fol-
lowing comparison of the Of the English life
insurance companies with those doing business in
this State will prove interesting. Since the great
failures in 1869, the new business of the English
companies has fallen off, though the last state
ment shows some slight improvement. The follow
ing is business according to the three last an
nual Observation-Disclosures dollars for pounds
sterling:
English Companies. 11s5Oo0 s1o6 is5OOO s1Os9ioocO
American Companies 81 $4,000 S694SoOOO 6s7
In the matter Of total assurances in force the in
crease of American companies business ia vet
more remarkable, the amount by the last annual
statement exceeding that of the year 1869 by
30 per cent. Commenting on these facts The Echo

Somebody writing in The London Globe talks-the

Stripped of their verbiage, Secretary Bout
wells two pleas before the House, yesterday
were the same arguments which we have
heard before. As to the expansion OF the
currency, the Secretary considers it thing
of appearance rather than of fact. He claims
that the extraordinary issue of last Summer
was not in excess of the amount allowed by
law. The defense of the Syndicate is not
novel. Observe, the Secretary has never yet
met the charge of having made his placing
the loan cost more than was permitted by
law. He argues that the loan could not be
placed any more cheaply; and he brings In
Mr.. Jay Cooke to substantiate that assertion
but this does not meet the case. The fact
remains that the operation of putting the loan
on the market cost moro than the limit OF
expense fixed by Congress.

that such an erasure should not be tolerated.
This will come up as mere negative propo-

The Gfsberts.

Tom Taylor's celebrated drama, "Ticket-
of-leaVe-M Man." was enacted before large
audience in Masonic Hall Theater last eve
ming by the Gilbert Troupe. The lateness
Of the houE and TIE scarcity of space debars
US from giving the play, which is splendid
one, more than passing notice. The play
is one in which there are many rare hits
and unique dispersions, and as the applause
Of the audience is a good indication of the
merits Of the players, we should say that
the acting last evening was exceedingly
meritorious.
Tomorrow evening will be brought out
John Owens celebrated play of "Our
American Cousins" which contains the
character of Dundreary, in the acting of
which SOthern has gained such bright lau-
rels. This is the drama that occupied the
boards of Ford's Theatre in Washington
ou the evening Of Lincoln's assassination,
fact which gives the piece a touch of the
historical.
