Of having murdered man ia King George

employed by fishing company on the hOt9s

when he met stranger, apparently Irish,
whom he asked for o light for his pipe. A
conversation ensued, during which NOllTath
saw the strangers pocket book, containing a
large sum of money, and, on the impulse OF
the moment attemptedtO rob him. Being re.

his victim, he draw a knife and stabbed him
through the heart. He buried his victim, re-
turned to work, and conscious stricken, threw
the money in the river. He went to Germany,
was cOnscripted in the army and is now inthe
military prison for petty offence. The CON

The Truth Confesaed.

If the Republican party shall not come
10 it, last end in any other way, it will be
checked To death with its logic. One Of
the reasons given for not counting the
election vote Of Louisiana for President
was that there is no State government,
Republican in form, in Louisiana And
ii il is the bounden Constitutional duty of
Congress to guaranty 10 each State Re
publican form Of government, whose fault
Is il that Louisiana is destitute of this
boon but that Of the very Congress which
makes the absence Of il a pretext for dis
tranchising her. IL IS maxim of law
that no person shall take advantage OF his
own fault but when the Republican ma
iority in Congress first fails 70 guaranty
Louisiana a Republican form of govern
ment, and then DISTINGUISHES the State be-
cause il has net q Republican form of gov
eminent, what is this but violation of the
maxim quoted2
But again There are two governments
in Louisiana, both the offspring Of the
Republican party. When the election re-
turns were canvassed several weeks ago.
there were the Yarmouth and the Pinch
back governments they have since beer
succeeded by the McEnery and kellogg
governments, the former inheriting from
Yarmouth, and the latter from Pinchback
The Republican party gave Us all these
it gave US Yarmouth, and, therefore, i
responsible for all the villanies it nov
charges him with, and it gave US Pinch
back and Kellogg, and is, therefore, re
sponsible for their conduct. So that wheI
Republican Congress declares that, o
the four State governments in Louisian;
having an existence within the last tw,
months, neither was, nor is, Republican il
form, it not only admits that it has recog
nized an unrepublican government in tina
State, but AYERS that President Grant !

What Next

Tammany has been eclipsed by the
Credit Mobilier, and Tweed is compelled 10
hide his diminished head before a dozen
men whose exploits put even him 10 shame
Tweed was esteemed a great rascal few
months ago, and it was thought the coun-
try could never produce his fellow. But
we underestimated the Tweed producing
capacities Of this great country. The
Tammany boss has changed places
with some Of those who could not find ad-
iectiyes strong enough in the language 10
denOunce him with. The people have al.
most ceased 10 think of Tweed a Vice
President and score Of serene and patri-
otto members Of Congress have crowded
him out Of their thoughts, and Tammany
begins to read like one of the insignificant
little frauds that our innocent and honest
fathers made such fuss about twenty-five
years ago. The penumbra Of the Credit
Mobilier has fallen on it and 80 obscured il
that we can scarcely see it.
This suggests an interesting inquiry
What next? If the Credit Mobilier has
come in twelve months to eclipse Tammany
what is TO eclipse the Credit Mobiier d!
And how long is this procession Of frauds
each one greater than its predecessor, 10
gO on, before the exhaustion Of the people
leaves them nothing TO prey upon?

Some Singular Facts In Relation to Mrs.
Wood Pension.

WAsHiSGToN, Feb. l4.-Some DAYS AFRO
Speaker Blaine left the chair for the
purpose Of stating TO the House that he
had just had an interview with Mrs.
Wood, a daughter Of President Taylor,
who was in a destitute condition, and
asked that she be given a pension Of $50
per month The House promptly acceded
10 the request and the bill is now before a
Senate committee. Mrs. Wood is the
mother of John Taylor Wood, who com
manded the confederate privateer ITALIA
hassee, which, during a short cruise,
destroyed over $1,000, 900 worth of Amer
lean shipping. He is now engaged in the
commission business at Halifax, Nova
Scotia, and is said to be doing well. 1t is
hardly possible he would permit his moth
er to lack the necessaries Of life. Mrs.
Wood herself was a bitter seeessionist
during the war, and il she has become
destitute it must have been very recently,

time past, and dressing in magnificent
