finds in the Bender nurderers of Kansas
clue to the perpetrators of n horrible
and hitherto mysterious tragedy near
that city. Some two years ago q German

dered and heir house was burned down
over their bodies, but no person was ever
suspected of committing the crime. A.
the time German family. consisting of
two men and two women, were tenants Of
a neighboring farm and soon after moved
to Kansas. AS the name Of this family
was Bender, and as their description
answers to that Of the Kansas murderers,
there is a strong impression at New
Albany that Bandls and wife we're vic
Tins of the Cherryvale people.

How A CoLoRED CONGRESSMAN WAS
TREATED IN ST. LOUIS Tho Republican
says: Hon. Jno. r. Lynch, the colored
representative from Mississippi, is among
the delegated to the Congressional con
veution. and leaves this morning for
home-thereby foregoing the anticipated
pleasure Of the Texas excursion. Mr.. L.
is quiet, young looking man, apparently
of moro than ordinary intelligence. He
has managed to mako bis visit on the
present occasion not unpleasant one.
He states that since he left home he has
met with the utmost courtesy, escaping
that superciliousness and disrespect com.
planned of in former years by Fred.
Douglass and other prominent members
Of the race to which he belongs. BY
preference he has taken his meals at his
room. Tho proprietors Of the Southern,
at which hotel be was assigned, treated
him with the same courtesy that was
extended to his white colleagues, and
the choice Of eating at the public table
or in private was extended to him Mr..
Lynch says that the utmost state of good
feeling exists 10 his part Of the state
between the colored and white population,
and as on evidence Of the prevailing
sentiment, he states with pride that his
old master voted for him for congress.

IT is not very creditable TO the mana
gers of the New Jersey State Agricul
tural Society that they should descend
to ways that are mean" in advertising
their coming Fair By circular shown
us, sent from the Office of New York
advertising agency, we find that agency
circulating the advertisements of the
Fair among the Newspapers Of New Jer-
sey, fixing the rate of payment at so low
a basis that the agency shall receive q
large percentage of the profit. 1t also
appears that only those newspapers
which h ave made arrangements or do
business with that agency are to be IA
vored with the advertisement, and those
who have no such associations are, we
presume, to be left unfavored and their
localities are to know nothing of the
Fair, We thing this grave mistake,
and one that should be at once recti-
fed. The State Fair, claiming the pat
ronage and assistance of all Jerseymen,
should in return be willing to deal di-
rectly with the press of the state and
not through New York agents. When
notices are required she State Press is
asked for them, but when favors are to
be given out, even to the extent of per-
haps not three dollars paper, they are
to be so regulated and dispensed that
outsiders shall make a profit and our
Jersey newspapers be charged COM
