DAYTON.
4 Horrible Affair.

DAYTON, O., March 1.-THE man
Marquand, who Murdered his wife and
three children near here yesterday, tells
the following story: He says that few
days ago he read chapters to his family
from the Bible, and then, rising up
accused his wife OF being a witch and
using witchcraft. He says that his
daughter, the eldest child, supported
him and confirmed him in his accusa-
ton. He says that on Saturday night
he told his wife that he wanted their
children toj He says that both
he and his wife stripped stark naked,
knelt down, and prayed for ten or fifteen
minutes. They then stripped the
children, took them out and drowned
them and laid them side by side on
the bank OF the stream. They then
dashed out the brains Of the infant and
lett it lying in the woods, after which
thew returned to the house and went to
bed, both still nakei. After lying there
fifteen minutes be told his wife he
wanted to send her to Heaven also, and
then fell on her and s;rangIed her to
death. After this he got up and prayed
there alone until three o'clock in the
morning, when he went to the nearest
neighbor and told the whole story.
The excitenent is intense. The neigh
bors say there was never any unhappl-
ness between the man and wife. The
general impression among the neigh
bors is that Marquand is insane
and that his insanity was caused by
excitement over spiritualism. There
were two other children in the family,
and after finding the dead bodies of the
three youngest, search was made for
these two. They were finally found
hidden under a straw stack in field
near the residence, 10 which they had
fled when the others were being mur-
dered by the parents. The little girl
and boy who survived the massacre were
aged respectively seven and six years.
They were SO badly frightened they
could give no ineligible account Of the
terrible affair at the house. Their
stories were that their mother had killed
two of the children and their
father one that they had
murdered them by throwing them
down on the floor and beating them,
and that they themselves had ran away
and escaped tie fate OF their little
brother and sisters. Morquand is a tall
stalwart man, is strong physically de-
veloped, and his appearance indicates
that he might have accomplished the
murder Of his wife and children by mere
physical force without the use Of any
weapons. The unfortunate man is aged
about 40, is a Hessian by birth, and has
lived in the United States about eighteen
wears. He is a man Of respectable ap-
pearance and talks like man Of intel.
iigence, but is evidently insane. He is
a small farmer; owns twenty acres OF
land in Mad River township, adjoining
the land of James Anderson, one mile
east of Brandth pike, near Kneely
station. He says he always lived
pleasantly with his family; loved his
wife and children, but he has done this
thing under the influence Of spirits,
which be was obliged to obey.

WASHINGTON.
General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, March ll.-There are
FIVE Congressional Investigating Com
mittees in session here to-day, as fol-
lows: The District investigation by the
House Committee on the District of
Columbia; the investigation into the
sale OF arms to France, by both House
and Senate Committees; then the New
York Custom House investigation and
Sandstone investigation. The House
Committee to investigate the sale OF
arms to France will examine Colonel
Criskius, ordnance officer at New York,
through whom the sales Of arms BY
the Ordnance Bureau have been affect
ed for some years past. The commit
tee will hold no other session this
week, as its Chairman (Williams) goes
to Connecticut to take part in the
pending campaign.
Chief Engineer ". J. Lawding has
been ordered to the navy yard at Pensa-
cola.
Assistant Secretary Richardson
brought back from Europe about
100000 of five per cent bonds, being
the amount in excess Of the subscrip-
tons sent over by the Secretary. The
bonds returned are OF the smaller
denominations. The European sub
scribers, as general thing, preferred
bonds Of the large denominations. The
money received by Mr.. Richardson for
coin subscriptions in Europe was
invested in the call bonds OF 1862 and
by this operation, it is said, the Govern
ment realized quite handsome sum.
There is a general feeling OF satisfac-
ton expressed in official circles over the
successful termination of the Syndicate.
To correct any erroneous impression 1t
may be stated that the expenses attend
ing the sending OF clerks to Europe in
connection with the negotiation Of the
new loan were all paid by the Syndicate
and not by the Government, as il is
generally supposed.
The President sent the following
names to Congress to-day: Commodore
Alfred Taylor, to be Rear Admiral;
Chaplain Jas. J. Kare, to be advanced
in his grade next alter Chaplain Geo.
w. Dorrance, for extraordinary heroism
during the rebellion; John II. Harris,
to be Postmarter at Kansas City, Mo.
The following assistant assessors were
appointed to-day: Elisha II. Trip, Ed.
Corydon, NJ. A. Turner. A. Murray,
C. F. Seabury and II. F. Stone, First
Rhode Island District; Geo. c. Church,
First Wisconsin District; William Ii.
Holiday, First Tennessee District;
John X. Fenelon, Frs, Minnesota Dis
trict
Parties who have purchased TIce
meters from the Government are peti.
tioning Congress for relief. Representa-
tives Beck and Kelley, to whom the
matter had been referred, have asked
the Internal Revenue Bureau for certain
information on the subject.

North Carolina and snow over the Mid.

NEW YORK.
on Suspicion Of Murder

Arrested on Suspicion Of Murder.
New YORK, March ll.-An elderly
man named Carl Vogt was arrested this
morning under the following circum.
stances On October ., 1871, gentle
man named Chevalier Dubois de Byares
was murdered in Brussels. Belgium, his
house set fire to, and bonds and securi-
ties to the value of 10000 stolen.
The bonds were traced to banking
houses in London. and it was ascer-
tanned they had been sent to that city
by Duncan, Sherman j. Co., Of New
York The case was given in the hands
of detectives, and the bonds were traced
to the possession Of man named
Earle, in a gambling house in Broad
wav. He stated he received it January
last from man who he described The
detectives traced this latter person to
the Prescott House, where he had reg.
istered his name as Paul Vogt, but
aiterward left Tor Philadel phia, whittier
they followed him and brought him
back to the city. 1t is thought his
arrest may furnish clue to the perpe-
traitor OF the murder in Brussels.

with experience many OF them would

appeal from the Judgment OF the District

involving the title to a large body OF
land in ,TarkSo" rcrntv. The impor-
tance OF the cur al imtrlcst" and
novel questions involved had, during
the trial and since until the case was
sposed of by the Supreme Court,
elected in the papers and in private
conversation many conjrctures as TO
the correctness of the rulings OF the
court, in fact some Of the criticisms on
the court were quite unbecoming and
improper, but think his Honor Judge
Jackson should be gratitied that his

tainei by the high court, and by the
unanimous voice of the judges thereof,
except on one point especially as since
the atfirmance OF the judgment, It's cor
rectness is almost universally admitted

result of this case will add greatly to
