Woman accused Of the murder of her
Husband and four Children.

Great excitement prevails at Leesburg, Va,
owing to the discovery of the poisoning of
family of six persons. The facts in the case
are as follows -Four years ago man named
Charles E. Lloyd, who was the head OF a fami-
" of six persons, consisting of his wife, Emily
L. Lloyd, devout member of the Episcopal
church, four children, two boys, and two girls,
and an aunt, died very suddenly, but as he
was an Incorporate man, none thought strange
Of his death. In the summer of 1870 the two
boys sickened and died suddenly, and were
followed at intervals by the aunt and the two
remaining girls. The death of the last girl
occurred March 23d, when public suspicion
became thoroughly awakened, and coroner's
jury was summoned, the remains of the child
exhumed, and the stomach sent 10 Professor
Tonry, at Baltimore;sto be examined. A search
of the register of the druggist revealed the fact
that quantities of arsenic had been sold to Mrs.
| Lloyd previous TO the death of each victim.
Last Saturday Professor Tonry announced
that he had discovered one and half grains
of arsenic in the stomach of the deceased, and
the coroner's jury Immediately brought in a
verdict against Mrs Lloyd,
Mrs. Lloyd has since been arrested, and at
the examining Court bail was refused, and she
was committed to Jail TO await her trial which
will take place in June next.

SUICIDE OF A REPuTED MARyLANDER IN GEoR-
GIA.-A Rome (Ga. correspondent of the
Abbeville Is. CO. Medium writes that about
six months ago calling himself Rev. j. Z.
Lawrence, d. D., late of West MARYLAND
College" arrived in that town, where he
formed partnership, opened a school for boys
and young men, giving references to persons
in North Carolina and elsewhere. One of
these being applied to, replied that he did not
know Lawrence, but the description applied
to one Breudt, who had left the writer neigh
borhood in debt. Lawrence's partner wrote
to West Maryland College wherever that
may be) touching its late professor of Hebrew
and Greek literature, and received reply
again identify ing the adyenturer with Brendt.
The school went on, bnt the doctor got behind
in money affairs, aud on April LIST bought a
pistol which he got the salesman TO load TO:
him In the evening his landlord asked him
to pay his board, and they had some words
Half and hour later the sound of pistol-shoi
was heard from his room, and when an en-

The Philadelphia Press (Forney's paper) is
not satisfied with the work of the Penn5yl-
vania republican convention. The convention
elected delegates to the national convention,
which that paper holds it had no right to do,
and consequently advises the republicans TO
meet together in their wards and townships
and elect another set of delegates. Then again
The Press complains that those chosen by the
convention are not men of proper character,
and that they were selected in obedience to a
ring of self-constituted, unprincipled party
managers The nomination of General Har-
tranft it believes to be inuaspicious and sad
opening of what promises TO be most exciting
and difficult campaign, in which twill require
superhuman efforts to elect the ticket

The Liberal Republican Meeting in
New York.

The New York papers describe the mass
meeting of Liberal Republicans at the Cooper
Institute on Friday night last as one of the
largest and most enthusiastic ever known in
that city The Tribune describes the scene at
the Institute as follows
A crowd of thousands outside Cooper lnsti-
tute utterly unable TO gain admittance, but
unwilling to leave--a crowd inside that filled
every seat and packed every aisle, that over
flowed the platform till the orator had scarcely
room to move from one side of the narrow
reading desk 10 the other, and jammed the
great space behind (till egress and ingress
we're impossible) with an audience back OF the
speakers tar larger than the average lecturer
is able TO get in front of nina crowd that
contained the best elements of the great reform
meeting last summer, but much large. and
more imposing patiently waited tor an
hour for the sake of getting places at al, ana
staid en- masse, orderly but enthusiastic till
the last echo of the last cheer Shat followed
the last speech had died awav-such was the
opening, last night of the Liberal Republican
campaign for the Presidency, and the answer
of the Empire City to the call to Cincinnati. =
There has been no such meeting in New York
since the war. The speakers, like the audi
ence, were Republicans from the start, recog-
nized champions in council and on the field, in
the days when the leading Republicans meant
to be tried patriots, but ostracised since by the
shoddy COZ tractors and Custom House clerks
who now assume to control the organization

Mr. EDTToR,-A the time for holding the
Democratic National Convention to nominate
candidates for President and Vice President of
the United States will soon be fixed upon, it
would be well for all true democrats to be on
the alert, aud take such precautionary meas
ures as will prevent their again being sold by
those they send to represent them. With this
view let them see to it in time that no man is
sent delegate to our State Convention who
would countenance, for one moment, the APP
pointment of any delegate to the National
Convention who is not perfectly sound on the
question of having an able, pure and unadul-
terated democratic ticket in the field, this Fall
There has been too much surrender of princi-
pie to policy already. If ever this government
is restored to its original purity, the demo-
cratic party is the only party that can do it /;
and if that party ever expects to regain its
strength, it must be marshalled anew under
that policy TO the tune of which it has, here
tofore, so often and SO proudly marched to
victory.
Let US see to it then, in time, that we are
not again deceived by those we confde in to
represent us. SENEX

To the Editor Of The Sentinel :

To the Editor Of the Sentinel:
SiR:-Havng desire for the success of the
Metropolitan Rail Road, was much pleased
with communication in your paper, signed
at" which gives such full and satisfactory
information of the progress Of the work on the
whole road. thank Mr.. at" and l am
quite cheered that this great work will be COM
pleted at an early day. This leads me to think
and speak of those by whose instrumentality
this will be accomplished. First: this great
work that will cost upwards of two and half
millions of dollars win be built by John W.
Garrett & Co., and fully furnished, without
one cent being contributed by the citizens of
this county and the memory of the venerable
Francis G. Chopper is fondly cherished by us
as the pioneer of the Metropolitan Rail Road
He labored long and hard, with skill and per-
severance, until successful. The road was
commenced but he died soon after. lie still
lives in our hearts as public benefactor.
And in years to come when the iron horse
runs over this road with the cars laden with
living souls and they look out at this great
and magnificent work and the grand and beau
tiful scenery through which it passes they
will speak of John W. Garrett Il Co., the
builders of this road, in terms of commenda-
ton as great public benefactors.

THE UTAH DECISION The decision Of the U.
States Supreme Court in the Mormon cases in
opposition to Chief Justice Mexican, of Utah, is
that the courts in that Territory, unless when
acting as Circuit or District Courts of the U.
States, are not United States courts, and that
their jures must be impanneled by lot accord
ing to the territorial law, and not selected at
the discretion Of the United States marshal.
The jaries in the anti-Mormon prosecutions
were chosen in the latter way. The effect OF
this decision virtually nulli6es all that has
been done in the legal war against the Nor
mons. The bench was unanimous in the opin-
ion delivered by Chief Justice Chase If car
ried out it releases from the penitentiary all
the convicts who have been tried after Judge
McKenn's method. 1t is stated that there is
no money legally available to pay the expenses
of these trials, and it is question whether the
United States marshal will not have to foot
| the bills, which amount to $50, 000.-Baho.

AssAuLTING PoLIrIcAL PRISONERS. -TheChar-

that on the return of the Ku-klux prisoners
from the United States Court to the House OF
Correction, at the adjournment of the court on
the day previous, they were followed all the
way up Broad street by a crowd OF colored
men and women, gathering accessions from
every group of loungers assembled on the
streets and all hooting, yelling and hurting
all manner of obscene and abusive epiihets up
on the unfortunate prisoners. The small guard
of deputy marshals in charge OF the party
made no ATTEMPT 10 repress these unseemly de-
monstrations. and, perhaps would have been
powerless to do so if they had been inclined.

The recent analysis of Clark's Ammoniated

Gent quantity of ammonia to stimulate, de-
yelop and sustain the plant. 1t contains a
heavy proportion Of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
to sustain an ample fruitage. 1t, therefore,

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The
meeting of the Democratic National Committee
is called for Wednesday, the 9Th of May next,
at the residence of the chairman, August Bel
mont, in New York t'The usage is, says
the World, ito summon the committee by
private note, and not by published call, in
accordance with which the usual letters have
been sent out by Mr.. Belmont. Although the
purpose of the meeting is not specified in the
call it is understood that the object is to de-
signate day and place for assembling the
Democratic National Convention TO nominate
candidates for President and Vice President. ("
The journal adds that the procrastination OF
Mr. Belmont in this call has met the approval
of the leaders of the Democracy. The delay
seems to have been occasioned with a view TO
take advantage of the Cincinnati Convention
the results of which may determine as to the
time for holding the Democratic National Con
vention.

A Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette says The Democratic members
of Congress are consulting among themselves
regarding their political course, in view of the
Cincinnati Convention. Some of them freely
express their willingness TO vote for the nomi-
nee of that Convention, provided the demon
stration there shall give promise of success,
and the platform be of such a character that
they can endorse it. They say they want only
the enunciaton of few general principles.
Some of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Republi-
cans have been privately exchanging views
with them, in order to arrange coalition. II
is generally agreed, however, by the Demo
Gratis, that their course will be governed by
the Democratic National Convention, whether
st shall agree to support the Cincinnati nomi
nee or make nomination of its own.
