- hours. Before he died he made a
full confession, di closing the fact
that his accomplices were his own
sister and Joe Carter a butcher OF our
town. The terrible deed was perpetia-
ted about 10 o'clock at night, and had
been deliberately planned in advance.
It's execution deliberate and perfect,
with a hammer taken from a Smith
Shop. they called at Mr.. M&sOn's store
and asked for some Bacon in the rear
room. As Mr.. Mason stopped TO read
the weight uDOn the beam, Simpson
struck him upon the head the fatal
blow with the stolen hammer. The
body was then searched, and from 1t
they took a silver watch, and gold
chain, and other articles. The safe
was then opened and robbed and such
articles of goods as were desired, were
taken. anu the store fired, the door
locked and the key taken away, and
portion of the articles taken to the
house of Simpsons sister.

Tho Right Hon. John Bright.

To the Editor Of the Di$pdtch:
Sir,-Rcferring to your leader in Fridays
UsDGich. will YOU kindly allow me to soy
that nett her Richard Golden nor John Bright
were ever more than theoretical Republicans.
Golden, in one of the earliest pamphlets OF
" A Manchester Manufacture" asserted Tie
fact that respect for constitutional monarchy
was a sentiment deeply implanted IN every
EngllShman's heart.
Mr.. Briyht's position with regard to roy
atty has not been altered by his having held
office under the Crown. Before he became
minister, he won the friendship of the Queen
bv his noble and chiyalrous defence of her
sIaiesty at public meeting in st. James's
Hail. London, after all indiscreet member OF
Parliament had made some foolish remarks
about the Queens retirement from public
life.
Golden and Bright were both loyal sub
iccts of the Crown when the present Lord
Lytton WAS nm avowcd Republican and Mr..
Disl.ei was writing scditious revolutionary
epics.
For centuries w AVE had in England o
class of men who. beginning with Republi-
can theories, have ended with Tory prac-
tees. Mr.. Bright and the real reformers
have no sympathy for such men. The
world is not likely to see an English republic
in our day, but the mischief done by Dllke
and Odger is shown in the recent elections
for Surrey, Truro, Plymouth, Notts, and
Yorkshire, where good Liberals have been
replaced by ultra Tories. / regret to say
that the signs of the times point more to
Tory reaction than to anything else, and this
because John Bull cannot endure political
aritators. II DiSraeli is elevated to power,
Dixie will be responsible.
Yours, obligingly,

that you published an invitation from COM
mittee of the Legislature inviting citizens
from all sections of the State to furnish the
said committee with minute information, the
whole of which is to be embodied by them in
ga circular letter for distribution, descriptive
of the mineral, commercial, and agricultural
inducements which the State of Virginia
offers for the encouragement of immigration
and the profitable employment of capital y
All that in "circular letter ;" And you
say that "thc publication Of" this circular
letter under the authority Of the State will
unquestionably command for it respect, and
cause much good TO come of it,
Now, |, like many others, feel every dis

tee. Where is he from, and who is he, and
what are his qualifications for this work
Can be condense into 'ta circular letter" one

TIE CINCINNATI CoSvENTIoN.-The New
York Tribune has an article under the head
"Discounting Cincinnati" which concludes
. as follows:
ain short, no pains will be spared to col
lect and embody public opinion, which may
prove quite other than that Of this or that
Clique in Washington. And any attempt To
dictate this or that nomination as demanded
by outsiders, will he resented as impertinenl
and mischiev0us. The Convention Will De
Republican SO will the platform and candi'
dates. When the Convention shall have
done its work, unawed and unmanaged, citi'
zens of all parties will scrutinize that WORK,
Judge it, and say, each for himself, just how
much OF 1t, If any, meets his approval and Sc
cures his cooperation. But there will be
nothing cut and dried or, II there should be,
that will be reprobated and rejected"
This independent spirit is altogether CON-
mendable. People have had SO much Of the
cutand-dried doings, so much packing, and
80 much Of the cunning and management Of
rings, that anything that has the air of indie
pendence about it is agreeable and refresh
ing. We hope that the Convention will be
all that the Tribune says Of it. If 1t delibe
