Terrible Result Of Family Quarrel
A Man Eilled by His Brother.

Prom the Mooil Register.l
1eeterday evening, man by tn,
name OF Warner Cannon shot aaC
Killed ais brother-in-law, named james
hea' in saloon on the corner Of Cont
ard Royal streets. We learn that Real
~ho married CannOn's sister, and had
two children, had treated her badly fol
sometime, abusing her and villifyinp
her in abusive language, charging her
with bastardy, etc, had deserted heI
and his children, and Cannon had been
taking care OF them. 1t also appears
that Real, who owned two houses in the
south part Of the city, had one of them
vacated, and his wife moved in bv
breaking down the back-door. As Real
was standing by the saloon named
above, Cannon approached him and
drawing and cooking his pistol, said,
-'Give me the keys Of that house, YOU
d-n son Of a b-h.v Whereupon
Real turned and ran through the news
Office Of Charlie Warren, and was max
ing 70 get out apparently of the back
door, but as he reached the end Of the
counter, Cannon, who was pursuing
him, shot him in the back, the DaIl en-
tering TO the left of the spine. going
through the body and lodging under the
skin near the right nipple. He was
conveyed 10 the guardhouse, but died in
about ten minutes. Cannon was arrest
ed and confined tn the guardhOuse.
This Is one of the most unfortunate
family affairs that ever occurred.

CONFESSION.
The Modern BOrgia, Mrs. Sherman,
Makes a Confession Of Murder.

Mrs. Lydia Sherman, frequently
styled the Connecticut Borgia,n who
was convicted last spring in this city OF
murder in the second degree, for poison
ing her husband, in June, 1871, in Der
by, by the use of arsenic, has at length
made a confession of her crime, as well
rs of the others which she was believed
to be guilty of. After her conviction, in
April last, at the close of a long trial
which excited the deepest interest in
this community, and attracted no little
attention from the country at large-her
counsel moved for a new trial before the
Court of Errors. The accused lay in
jail in this city all summer, waiting for
the court to meet, which did not occur
until September, when her counsel
withdrew her case, having become con-
WINGED that the court would deny the
motion. Since then she has been
awaiting the opening of a criminal term
of the Superior Court, in which she
must receive her sentence, which will
be imprisonment for life in the State
Prison. Recently she has appeared to
have some trouble on her mind, and to
act as If she had some secret she desired
to impart- Her reserve on the great
matter of interest appeared to be leaving
her, and she evinced a disposition to un-
load her mind of its terrible burden. A
few days ago she made full confession
to the jailer. The particulars he refuses
to impart, and access to the accused is
not allowed. From what is learned it
appears that she has confessed that she
killed Sherman and his two children
with poison, and years ago she also poi
soned her first husband, Struck, and his
children, when living in New Jersey.
She denies, however, that she killed her
second husband, Dennis Hurlburt, in
whose remains the chemist found arse
mic. She is reported to feel much re-
lieved in mind since she confessed her
evil deeds, and expressed a desire to
read the Bible and converse with reli-
gious persons. Her confession was has
tened, probably, by the near approach
tO-the time when she is to be sentenced.
This will be done next week, when
Judge Foster, of the Supreme Court, will
preside, with Judge LOomis, and pass
sentence upon her.

1ha True Democracy on the Rump-
Protest.

From the Huntsville Democrat
In the Montgomery Advertiser, Janu-
AIRY 9th, We find an address to the people
Of Alabama, over the signature of the
true Democratic and Conservative
members Of the General Assembly OF
Alabama, 1t is calm, unimpassioned
statement OF facts relative to the organ
IzatIon Of the two houses of the General
Assembly, which met in the Capitol,
and The Radical Rump which met in. the
OnlHed states Courtroom, an unusual
anG Illegal place. 1t shows conclusive
~ that, notwithstanding the recon-
mendatiOn Of Governor Lewis, on sub
mitting the Attorney-G Generals plan,
that II 'should be unhesitatingly ac-
cepted and carried out in good faith
and sincerity of purpose" that
both he and the Court
room cabal have violated good faith,
and shown insincerity of purpose, in
continuing 10 act independently Of the
true. General Assembly-thatt the Court
room Rump have continued to meet as
General Assembly, and have assumed
70 pass bills as a Legislature: First
To authorize the Governor to complete
the sale Of the Alabama and ChattanOO-
ga railroad. SecOnd-To authorize the
Governor to sell two millions of dollars
Of State bonds. Third-To increase the
rate OF taxation one hundred per cent,
on Governor Lewis's recommendation
ana with his approval. The address
protests strongly against ali these acts
as Illegal, and warns the public, espe-
eialIy capitalists, against recognizing
their legality.

THE U. p. RAILROAD.
Proceedings Of the Wilson Special Union
Pacific Railroad Investigating
Committee.

WASHINGTON, January lathe vii.
son Special Union Pacific Railroad Com
mittee met this morning, all being pres
ent except Mr.. Swami. Mr. Wilson
said he had expressed to the Attorney
General the wishes Of the committee 70
have presnt two attorneys, TO be ap-
pointed under Mr.. RandaIl's resolution.
The AttOrney-General replied that such
attorneys would be speedily appointed
and aid in the investigation; that there
would be no witnesses for examination
to-day, but tomorrow, Mr.. ShellabargeI
said he would be willing that counsel
should lead in the investigation. Both
counsel and committee have the same
object, namely: recovering the rights OF
the Government.
Mr.. Allison said that when the attOr-
neys would come before the committee
they could make such a request.
Mr.. HOar thought that the committee
should carefully avoid giving up the
control of investigation to attorneys,
but that they could invite them to make
suggestions as to the line of exami-
nation.
Mr.. Shellabarger said that, perhaps,
it would be the better way.
Mr.. HOar offered a resolution, that the
counsel to be appointed be requested to
be present, and the Committee make
such suggestions and render such aid as
may be in their power.
Mr.. SIOcum said he would like to have
the attorneys point out where the gov
eminent had been wronged. He did
not see that any wrong had been done.
He would like to hear from the Chair
man, who they were going to see.
HOar said the House had affirmed that
the road was in default, and further,
that owing to the enormous profits Ofthe
Credit MObilier, the obligations of the
road to the government had not been
paid, and after that the House had ap-
pointed this committee to find out if
what the House had affirmed was true.
Mr.. Slocum asked whether there was
a single instance in which the Union Pa
cific railroad had failed TO comply with
its contract
Mr.. Wilson remarked that that was
what they were going to investigate.
Mr.. HOar's resolution was adopted,
after which the committee adjourned
till tomorrow.
