4 DEEADFC1 SCENE OF MURDER.
TroppmaD has qeen initiated at Scent
Clary, village in lower Hungary. Dur
ing the night of tho 18th of October,
robbers broke into the house of M inn
keeper, Francis Czutsch, end took pos
session of about E200 worth of money and
chattels. Everything was packed up,
and the robbers were removing the bags,
when ono of the gang upset q chair,
which awoke tho landlord, who was
sleeping in the next room with his wife
Mr.. Czutsch ut once jumped out Of bed,
took q doublebarreled gun and u knife,
and opened the door, through which he
fired two shots at the brigands, without
hitting them. The miscreants then
1oored tho unfortunate man, whom
they nearly stabbed to death Mrs.
Czntsch, who was awakened by the
noise. and hurried to the help Of her
husband, was murdered most cruelty.
The robbers then got hold of the six
children, tied aYd gagged them, and set
the house on IRE ut tho two corners,
taking to flight with their booty. The
i!l-fated house was COON in blaze. and
when the FIRST fire engine appeared on
the spot, the mother aud the children
had already been buried undor the fall
ing timbers. The landlord succeeded in
creeping out of the fire, and has boen
mile to give some important informa-
ton. although there is little hope of his
surviving. ue stated that the assassius
were nine in number, with faces black
ened. The police were actively search
ing for the murderers.

TIE MOUNT GEMS TUNNEL. Italy is
aroused to tho wealth that the Mount
Gents tunnel, and her favorable situation
MS commercial highway, will pour into
her lap, if she is only wise and enter
prising enough to take advantage of this
opportunity. "A new ocean steamship
company has been formed at Milan. with
capital of 100000. The steamers
Of the company will ply between Genoa.
Venice md other Italian cities, and
through tho Suez Cauai, with India,
China and Australia. This is only part
OF the plan, which looks to the ultimate
restoration OF Italy to her old promi-
nence. The formerly nearly impossible
barrier OF the Alps has already been
pierced in one place. and is also to be
cut through Mount st. Gothard. Ger
many will assist Italy by the last route
all in her power, to divert commerce
from Franco. and the latter country,
fully aware OF the dunger, is exerting
herself to preserve her old supremacy.

DIsASTKoUB EFFEUrB OF LAST SUBJ
MER's STR1KEs.-The New York Bulletin
has suggestive article showing whit
the working-men in various parts of tho
country have lost, and are. still losing,
blythe interference Of trades unions with
employer and Employed:
'The loss to this city, in wages alone
by trade driven elsewhere, amounts to
several millions Of dollars. Nearly all
the ship building trado in New York,
which survived the iujudicious legisla-
t1on OF Congress, has been driven to
other places. hIessrs. Roach & Co. en-
ploy over 1000 men ut Chester. on the
Delaware, who wonld otherwise obtlin
employment in this city. It is the same
to greater or lesser extent with every
other ship building firm in our city.
Tho loss to tho printing trade alone
amounts to more thnn q 81 900. 600 u
year. Noarly all tho commercial circu-
lars are now sent to Europe in manu-
script and pnt in type there, owing to
tho high prices which prevail here. Yet
this work was formerly executed entirely
III New York. In book printing, also.
the loss is very great, large amount Of
trade having been driven 10 other cities
and to Canada.
4hS cO"AdB t1AacS NuiCl IL
now centred in Bridgeport, Conn, was
lost to this city by the tyranny OF trades
unions. Messrs. Singer & Co who en-.
ploy Il total of 5000 persons. are now
building new factories near Elizabeth,
n. j., aud will soon transfer their entire
manufactures to that place. The manu-.
featuring prospects of Newark has been
chiefly built up by energetic Now York
capitalists, who desired to manage their
own business in their own way. Oi
course, trades unionism prevails moro
or less everywhere, but its chief strength
is in the great cities, IL which it seem.
to develop its more obnoxious traits
Ehe machine trade has also suffered
severely from this cuuse.
''The piano forte trade still feels til,
effects of the strike, und we know Of one
firm that med:tiltes tho transfer of il.
entire business either to New Jersey Of
Connecticut"

Tho New York Tribune, Of the Sth,
among its conclusions as to the causes
and the general result of the late Presi-
dential election, indicates az ono of the
reasons of the large majority OF General
Grant:
''The great mass of our people feel
no sympathy for those they still regard
as rebels. On the contrary, they hold
that these have been treated moro le-
niently than they deserve. The MAORI
ty will tolerate, not approve, tho gilt OF
Office TO Longstreet, an Akerman, d
Settle, who has been baptized into the
Republican church; but they are not
willing that any others shall hold Office

COOP, IF TRUE.-The Missionary He
cord, of which Il. II. Cain, tcDlored, the
Congressman III large from South C,,io-
lima, is the editor and proprietor, says
that tho policy indicated in the Rcpubli-
can State conventions evil be strictly
carried out by the Legislature and State
officers; and throughout the whole State
there will be efforts made to bring abont
that state Of affairs which will secure to
the whole people prosperity heretofore
unknown since or before reconstruction.
An extraordinary instance OF tho in
conyenicnces arising from the horse dis
ease is given. A gentleman just from
Calais, Maine, states that the mail is
carried from that place to Machins, dis
tance Of forty-four miles, by ii man on
foot, no horse being found able to per-
form tho work. It used to be sail that
steam had superseded horses altogether,
or was likely to; but We have found out
our mistake.
There is German girl begging in

Refined nickel from the protected
Pennsylvania mine sells in the market at

six grains. Consequently, it would take
nearly two and quarter pounds Of the
coined metal to pay for ono pound of the

advantage Of shutting out foreign COM

WAR IN THE EAsr.-If there is any
truth in the figures given Ivy tho New
York Tribune with regard to the military
resources of Corcn and japan, Il war be-
tween those two powers will bo IL tolera-
bly serious affair. Corca ia credited
with population Of II, 0J0, OOO, IL stand
ing army OF CO. 900 meu, and navy of
2U0 yesceis. Japan has Il population
four times as large, aud many OF her sol
diers are armed with tho most effective
weapons used by the Western nations.
They are courageous people, and their
civil discussions have taught them ut
least the clements Of the nrts of war. At
this distance, tho cause of the quarrel is
not entirely clear. 1t seems that from a
very remote period, the Tycoon Of Japan
expected tribute from Corea. During
the late revolution. the payment was
stopped, and the Tycoon was SO much
occupied in taking care Of his dynasty,
that he did not resort to compulsory
measures. Since matters have quicted
down ut home, the Japanese Govern
ment has begun to look after the arrears
due from its tributaries. Corea has been
asked to pay up; but she answers tina.
she OWES nothing. aud at the snmo time
been eXacted since the invasion by Taico
in the sixteenth century. We greatly
suspect that there is not money enough
i'll the world to adjust these little ba
lunces, especially if interest il exacted,
and thnt fight iy inevitable, from &
sheer want of means to avert it,
