s. A horrible murder Of the entire fhm.
lily Of Leonard 1darquard, was commit
ted ct 1 farm six miles northeaDt Of this
city, ON Saturday night Mrs.. Mar
guard was found "a bed entirely naked
and apparently sttangled. Three chill.
dren aged respectively 9 and 8 years,
and one 6 months, were found some
distance from the house on the bank of
creek, the two oldest evidently hav-
ing been drowned, and the bodies af.
terward taken from the creek. The
babe had ito skull crushed. Tbs father
and husband, Leonard Marquard, is
supposed to be the murderer, and has
been arrested, and Is now in Jail. An
inquest will be held on the bodies to-
day.
Leonard Marquard, the murderer Of
his wife and children, is evidently in
sane. His story of the affair ID that a
few days ago he read D chapter to his
family from the bible, and then rising
up accused his wife Of being = witch,
and using witch craft. He says his
eldest daughter confirmed him in bid
accusation. He says also that on s.
urday night he told his wife he want,
their children to leave the world thu
both he and wife stripped naked AMI
knelt down and prayed for fifteen min
utes. They then stripped two chill.
dren, took them out and drowned
them and laid them side by side on I

The news Of the overthrow of the
Erie Ring seems to be received every
where with satisfaction.
The morning papers regard the re-
suits of Yesterday as q great triumph
in the interests of honesty and reform.
The Herald says no coup de etat has
resulted in more entire success, since
the famous End of December at Paris,
when the Assembly dissolved and the
leaders were transferred from their
beds to prison cells. 1t adds that o
few days will disclose history Of
profigacy and crime that will astonish
even those who had appreciated the
character of the Erie Ring.
The World thinks it is useless for
Gould to attempt to make any resist
ance to what has been accomplished.
The Tribune says the legislature
should at once order an election for
directors and put its action beyond
Judge Barrett has granted a stay Of
proceedings in the case of Foster, the
car-hook murderer of Avery. This
disreputable case is to be carried to
the court of appeals.
Gould and several of his adherents,
as well as Archer, Vice President OF
the new directors, remained at the
Opera House, in the Erie headquarters,
during the whole night. About three
O'Clock A. N. some OF Archer's men
were falsely alarmed by report that q
gang of Gould's, under one Lynch,
were trying to get possession OF the
Presidents room. 1t is said that Lynch
made proposition to Archer, which
was delivered, promising to vacate the
place for fifteen hundred dollars.
Lawyer Shearman, at four o'clock
A. NJ, had long consultation with
Archer upon some proposition from
Gould, the nature OF which il not
known.
Some Of Lynch's gang tried to APP
proach the Treasurer's room at five A,
NJ, but force caused them to desist.

Il :
| EDlroRs COURIER The. entire FORE
noon was taken up to-day in discuss.
ing the amendments offered by Mr..
Hall Of. Burlington to III. F. No. 299.
This is the same amendment that was
debated all day yesterday.
AT noon, just prior to the House
adjourning until Monday, vote was
reached on this intricate question. The
amendment was lost by vote of go
nays to % yeas. The discussion was
conducted warmly ON both sides,
Duncombc, Caldwell and Ainsworth
! opposing the amendments, Hall, Gear,
Irish and Stowe supporting it.
| The sticking point in the bill is, that
cities along the river, will be deprived
Of drawing heavy tax, for municipal
purposes from Railroads. The system
which the bill provides is, that the
road, with all its rolling stock, round
houses, and machine shops shall be as
sessed as whole at so much per mile.
and according to the number Of miles
in each city or township SO shall the
tax be, and that the census Board shall
have the valuing of each road
The present system is that cities. by |
placing heavy tax on all Railroad |
property within their limits. derive a.
heavy revenue therefrom, conseduent-
ly the tax of the people residing in
such cities, il just made so much less.
Now who pays this tax? The Rail-
road Company directly, but the people
in the rural districts indirectly.
Because itmatters not what amount
of tax may be placed upon Railroad
it is the people who have to pay il, ;
and inasmuch as the people who sup
port these Railroads, machine shops
and everything else pertaining thereto, t
by sending their produce over demand u
receiving in returnwhat they consume.
they very reasonably think that they
ought to share the benefits Of this tax. !,
The cities cannot see il in this light,
and here is just the sticking point. v
1t is now proposed to discuss the &
bill section by section, and
If this is carried out we may safely
give its passage or defeat in two Ia
weeks. There are ourteen sections in m
he bill and If the dispose Of more m

One thing we have thus far failed to
notice in reference to the city election
on the 4th inst, which we shall now re-
cord, that the record may be complete
for future reference. We allude to
the shameful attempts at fraud upon
the electors inaugarated by Reform
Democrats in heading their tickets Re-
publican ticket in many instances, and
in having small clips printed with the
name Of democratic candidate there
on. the back Of the slips being well
daubed with mucilage, and FASTING
these slips on Republican tickets over
the name of some Republican candi-
date. AT the counting ont, many of
the Democratic tickets were found
headed Republican tickets, and all day
II was observable that the name Of w.
W. Cory was banded about on the
small slips mentioned. and we saw
several Republican tickets with Cory's
name in this manner pasted over the
name Of Fawcett, these gentlemen be-
ing candidates for Solicitor. We
heard that such means were also used
for the election of Littlcton. Mighty
small business indeed for honorable
men to be engaged in. We stigmatize
it AZ rascally trick to be frowned
upon by all good citizens.
