THE past week was prolific Of murders,
aSsaSsinatiOns, suicides and other calami-
ties to human life. Among the most nota
Die may be mentioned the following The
assassination of Ellen Gillcn, in New
FORK, Sunday night, by her husband, to
whom she had lately been married, but
having left him on account of his bad
character; the attempt Of Henry Jewett a
young mau of twenty-five years, to kill
Miss Ellen Wood, at her home, in Hudson,
y. H., in the presence of her family, be
cause she refused to Marry him, infiicting
a severe pistol-shot wound upon her face,
from which she has since died, and then
putting a bullet through his own brain &;
! the murder near ThOrndike, Me-, of Al
mond Gordon, farmer, his wife, and one
of his children, it is alleged by his brother,
John Gordon, who Drained them in their
, beds with an AK, hoping by putting them
out OF the way to come into possession of
his brothers farm the capture, after
desperate fight III the street, of two nOtO-
rious burglars at Chicago, Jack Allen and
Dave Reggie, in which they and a comrade
! who escaped opened fire on three police
men, who cornered them and were fred
/ back upon, Jack Allen falling mortally
wounded the shooting and killing of Will
/ liam Goumillon and his father, Lovett
| Goumillon, at Edgetield, S. c., by Arthur
Glover, growing out of arccent quarrel en-
bittererd by an old grudge, Lovett Gou-
million having thirty years before slain by
| an unclo of Arthur Glover in fight the
hanging 10y lynch law Of horse-thief in
Missouri, and three negro murderers in
Louisiana the upsetting of a pleasure
boat, loaded with men, women and chill
dren- at Calais, Me, and the drowning Of
an old man, his wife and little daughter
a widow lady, and young girl of fifteen
ana the suicide at St. townsville, Y. Y O
Miss Ruth Smith and Il physician nameC
\. ID. Wheelock, growing apparently on
of remorse, if nothing worse, Wheclocl
having commenced proceeding for divorc
against his wife, in order that he nigh
marry Miss Smith. These form but
uthe of the tragedies that have been en-
, acted within the past few days in differen
parts of the country

WHEN we look at the character Of
the men, natives of Pennsylvania, who
now occupy seats in the Senate Of the
United States, it is enough to cause
every lover of his State to hang his
head in shame and Humiliation. First,
we have Simon Cameron, who with
only q tithe of the brains Of Walpolc,
possesses in an eminent degree the well
known political vices of that unscrupu-
lous and corrupt statesman. Then
there are Powell Clayton, of Arkansas,
and John J. Patterson, of South Caro-
lima, both of whom would be cmincntiv
calculated, by nature and training, to
shine as leaders of the radical party in
the Legislature of their native State
Alexander Caldwell, of Kansas, another
recreant son of the old Keystone State,
was borne into the Senate on the ad-
vancing tide of corruption, but soon
handed in his resignation in order to
escape the ignominy of expulsion
And now, from the dregs Of the radical
cauldron, John Nipple Mitchell floats
to the surface as a full pledged and le-
gally accredited Senator from Oregon.
About a decade of years ago, he was
known in Butler county in this State
rs John Mitchell Nipple, but having
left that county under peculiar circum.
stances, he looms up in this year OF
grace as a Senator from the distant
coast Of the Pacific. What a precious
and noble tableau they present, and
with what maternal pride can Pennsyl
vania point to them and exultingly
exclaim, 'tteSe are npy jelCeIS :"

REMARKABLE BLACKMAILING. - The
Taunton, Mass, Republican says The
extorton of $50, 600 from Capt. Robert
Iuckerman, n prominent citizen of New
Bedford, by VIM. Ii. Hathaway and Mr.
and Mrs. Ambrose w. Landre, is one of
the largest blackmailing operations on re-
cord. Mrs. Land"e was the wife of Mr..
Iuckerman's son, who died in January
last, and the widow, with unseemly haste,
married Landve in a few weeks after her
husbands death. Hathaway is her broth
er. These three appear to have planned
to get hr. Tuckeman, who is seventy
/ eight years old, to their house in Matra-
polsett, when he was inveigled into the
chamber of Mrs. Landre by her, who put
her arms around him, and at this moment
/ III walks Hathaway, and in the highest
/ rage threatens to Kill him, to tell his wife,
and frightened him into promising to pay
/ S2o,oVO for silence. This promise he kept,
paying the money to Hathaway in bonds.
! a snort time afterward Mrs. Landre lie
manded $1,000, which Mr. Tuckerman
paid her. 4 few weeks afterwarI Hatha.
way demanded $50, 900 more. but was in.
! duced to take up with SD 900, piying 2
/ promise in writing that he would keen ST
lence without demanding more Suspicion.
/ of what had been done reached the ears o
City Marshal, who interviewed CaptaiT
! Tuckerman and ascertained its truth
The parties were arrested, and were t.
have been tried before the Police Court
but the matter was compromised by the
parties by their returning $1S, 600 to til,
old gentleman. The Police Judge, how
ever, WAS not willing to let the case droI
thus, aud 1T was sent to the Grand Jur,
last week, who returned indictment
against Hathaway and Mr. and Mrs. Ian

for the vice presidency on the ticket with
Gen. Cass in 1S4S, is still alive. and a Ken

never walks less than six miles a day for
