We are under the painful necessity
Of chronieling one Of the most dread
fol tragedies that has ever occurred in
this country. The victim, Mansfield
Tracey Wslworth, son Of tho late ven
cradle Chancellor Wslworth, Of New
York, was shot down BY bis son Frank
d. Walworth, while visiting him At his
private rooms, in tho Sturtevant House,
on Tuesday, the Sd inst. It appears
that there has existed, forjyears, . great
degree Of animosity and ill-feeling be-
tween the deceased and his family,
which, finally, eliminated in his death
At the hands Of his own son. His re-
mains were taken to Saratoga, and con-
sigued to the vault Of his family. His
wife and children followed the remains
to the tomb. The deceased was an au-
thor Of considerable celebrity, having
written several valuable works. Young
Walworth has been indicted by the
Grand Jury Of N. Y. city.

Last Saturday 40 John Fairohild was
bringing some Of the Modoo captives,

intercepted by a party Of Oregon VOL
unteers, under command of Captain
Histler, and four Of the Indians were bru-

in the wagon that was carrying them.
The indiana met their fate without de-.
moastration, but the entreaties and Ia
mentatious Of tho squaws and children
were described ss awful beyond concsp-
ton.
It IL difficult to properly character
izs this inhumaa atrocity. The assa&si-
nation Of General Candy excited the
just indignation Of the :hole wo:ld, a.
though the deed was done by savages,
grown desperate by real or supposed
wrongs, aud Who arc destitute Of all

and the cry Of determination" vent

men more brutal than Indians. The
crime Of Captain Jack, compared with
~
companions, seems robbed Of half it,

these vile mixcreants, unworthy tho name
Of white men, with the same unrelenting
purpose which has followed the assasius
Of Candy aud Thomas, and if the gal-
lows IL to be given the Indian for it,

We have received from Oesisn E.
Dodge, Secretary Of the St. Paul Cham
Der Of Commerce, the report Of that
organization for the year 1872. 1t is
one Of the most carefully prepared aud
finished works Of tho kind, which We
have ever had the pleasure Of examin.
ing. The mere arrangement, is Of it.
selfso felicitous, a. to render the pamph-
let attractive, while the matter and
style imparts to it degree Of interest,
amounting almost to fascination; and,
were it not that the business which it
chronicles has been of the most extraor.
binary proportions, both in its kind and
extent, there would b" danger Of ito
being hidden entirely by the majestic
and almost fabulous character Of tho
Secretary. Report.
Prophecy has long been busy eoncer-
ming St. Paul, and it has been fulfilled as
faithfully a. have the wonderful things
foreto:d in Holy writ. It was early point
ed out as = place, destined, by its To-
eality aud natural advantages to become
one Of those great centres Of business,
which is required to meet the demands
Of sentimental commerce. The
great extent aud vslu. Of the fur trade,
the development Of the mining regions,
the manufacture Of lumber, and the pro-
duction Of cereals, in that vast region
Of country, north Of St. Paul, gives to
that city a degree ofprominence scarce-
y required to maintain population Of
even fifty thousand. But when We con-
cider that it is at the head, practically
speaking Of the Mississippi eystem-the
point upon which couverges all the bust
ness Of the south, which seeks north
ern market-that it is midway between
the two great oceans Of the world, and,
on the direct line Of the vast railroad
thoroushfarc, connecting then,-that it
is 10 the midst Of country possessing
all the advantages necessary to its own
growth, and indispensable to the life
aud business prosperity Of half Of the
globe-that its climate and its scenery
vitalize youth aud rejuvenate ago
that its morals, its system Of education,
its government, are all in harmony With
the most advanced teachings Of true
science; We can scarcely marvel at its
present prominence, nor be surprised at
what it may become.

A0rkeeing.

The farmers aud mech anics. are put.
ting forth great efforts to secure trans
portation Of their produce, at reduced
rates. This il to them vital necessi-
ty. Tho cost Of production Is so great,
that but little is left to the laborer af-
ter paying present prices for carry
ing to market. Workingmen need =
margin upon the results Of their labor,
as we'll as those who invest capital
There il true proportion between the
cost Of constructing and operating a
railroad, and the reasonable price to be
charged for transportation over it.
Where that proportion is disregarded,
either by the road or the man patroni.
sing it,oue must suffer. There are for
ests in some parts Of the country, which,
if accessible, would be of immense value,
if = 1ailroad could carry the lumber to
marketfree ofexpense. But aroad would
cost 80 much, that the necessary charge
for freight, would make the price of
lumber 20 much higher than it costs
elsewhere, shat those forests must remaiu
uncut. So it is with the produce Of
the farm and Of the workshop. These
must be carried more oheaply, or moth
ing will be produced that is not needed
for home consumption. 1t is, there
fore, = question Of mutual interest,
aud one, which ought to be settled
equitably. Corporations, not uufre-
quently, look only to their side Of the
case, and, in doing 90, blunder egregi-
ously. It is for their iaterest to deal
fairIy-to do what is right. Neither
party can gain by oppre'sing the other.
The producer should be willing to pay a
fair price for carrying; the carrier
should be willing to transport for . rea-
sonable compensation, and if the pres
ent difficulties are not adjusted upon
this basis, We shall conclude that JUS.
tioe has but very little influence in hu-
man regulations.

A GRIN JOKE ON TIE G.. A. R.
STREwINo Flowers ON DEAD JOHN.
MES GRAVES 49, While the Grand
Army Of tho Republic are mounting
guard to arrest any widow or child
Of Confederate soldier buried at the
National Cemetery, at Arlington who
may attempt to strew flowers on the
grave on decoration day, the Washing
ton Capital publishes some facts which
tend further to expose the absurdity
of the exclusion. That paper stated
that many Of the graves at Arling-
ton to be garlanded with choice flow
ers, as those Of unkncvn Union heroes,
really contain about Is per cent. Of a
dead Confederate's remains Some
times only one Of his boots sometimes
a pair Of breeches." The job to cot:
fin and bury the dead, it seems, was
let out to contractors, who were paid
by the coffin. The contractors began
by putting each body into two collins !;
then into three, and and later, into
four collins. Having used up all the
bodies Of the Union soldiers, they went
for tho dead confederates, and removed
them from their graves on the road
sides and farms; each of these dead
contederates were distributed in from
two to four collins, and his clothes and
boots into one or two more. Ofcourse
these were all buried as unknown I'm.
ion soldiers, and their graves are annu.
ally decked by the Grand Army Of
the Republic, who cannot allow any
Confederate graves to be garlanded on
the same dsy.-&. Paul Dispatch.

SOME one has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner
Here is a whole sermon in a few SEN
fences "Of all the love affairs
in the world none can surpass the true
love OF a big boy for his mother. 1t is
pure and noble, honorable in the high
est degree to both. I do not mean
merely dutitul affection. I mean a
love which makes boy courteous and
gallant to his mother, saying to every
body plainly that he is fairly in love
with her. Next to the love Of her
husband, nothing 30 crowns a woman's
life with honor as this second love,
this devotion Of a son to her. And I
never yet knew a boy to "turn out"
bad who began by falling in love with
bis mother. Any man may fall in
love with a freshfaced girl, and the
man who il gallant with the girl
may cruelty neglect the worn aud wea-
~ wife. But the boy who is a lover
to his mother in her middle age is a
true knight, who will love his wife as
much in the sere leafed autumn as he
did in the daisied spring time"
