Record of Crime-The Bow Murderer
Loose Again.


Boston, April 23.-The BODY of Horace
Mullen, aged Al years, was found yesterday
in marsh near Dorchester, horribly muir
dered. The head was nearly severed from
the body, and there were beside about thirty
stab wounds The child is the son of poor
parents. Edward Pomeroy, aged fifteen
years. recently pardoned from the State Re-
form School, to which institution he was
sentenced for cutting and mutilating young
children, has been arrested, suspected OF
numbering the young child.
Jesse Pomeroy, the lad who murdered the
child of John A. Mullen, a cabinet-maker
living in Dorchester, Massachusetts, was to-
day taken to the undertaker's and shown
the body of his victim. When asked if he
saw the boy before he said: eyes, but l
don't want to look at him any more" He
trembled all over while in the room, and
showed evidence of guilt. When asked how
he got the blood off the knife he said he did
it by thrustng it into the ground of the
marsh. He said if he did the deed he was
sorry for it, and hoped his mother would
not know about it. After looking at the
body Detective Woods asked him if he did
that, referring to the cutting.
He replied, eyes, killed him." And on
the way back from the undertaker's he said,
in answer to questions, 81 suppose l killed
him." Detective Woods then asked him
what he thought ought to be done with
him, and he replied, "Put somewhere SO
can't do such things" Pomeroy has been
taken to Charles street Jail. The child was
cut in similar parts of the body as were the
children whom he mutilated in Chelsea and
South Boston. Pomeroy's mother is a dress
maker, living on Broadway, South Boston,
and is worthy and highly respected woman.
The youth is undoubtedly insane.

We were delighted, yesterday, by visit
from eur old friend Capt. Jos. B. Baker,
who, as the commander of the Cahawba and
the Bienville, running between this port
and New York, made such hosts of friends
for himself. The captain looks as hale and
CHEEKY as though he had never known
moments care or trouble. There was a
smack of salt air and unmistakable sug-
gestions of the ocean about the bronzed and
hearty sailor that were positively refreshing,
and we were pleased to learn that it is pos
sible he may soon be commanding steamer
in his old trade again. May Neptune guard
his vessel vigilantly, in whatever seas her
swift keel may glide.

New ORLEANS, April q, 1874.

VIM p Kellogg, Usurping Governor of Louisiana:
Sir-Emboldened by past success, and
stimulated by perniciOus example which
is made possible by Federal bayonets, your
understrappers have to-day proceeded
against me from Hawkins's so-called court,
under Lawyer Dibble's petition, by way of
injunction to forbid and prevent my working
your confederates certain shekels. called in
your papers license and capital tax.
OF this money so extOrted by threats in
functions and seizures, and further on, as
last year, arrest, fine and imprisonment,
what proportion will ever reach the public
treasury, is more than l can tell; but be
again assured that no victory so obtained,
nor any spoils thus secured, will be able to
lift you into the esteem Of your fellOw-citi-
tizens, an esteem Of which you have been
so long deprived
marked by a rare audacity Of selfassertion,
indifference to supporting facts and pro-
found contempt for public opinion. Being
no Governor, you have staggered across the
stage in the official robes of Gov. McEnery,
as if you could, by repeated approaches to
the fOOtlights, impose upon the spectators
the idea that you were other than a detected
de .tacto.
cannot be surprised, therefore, that,
armed with a little brief authority, pre-
tended to be granted by bayonet-guarded
body pretending to be Legislature, you
signalze your continuance in power by
raid upon my means, of which, if there is
but little left from your last years foray,
what there is has been honestly come by,
and is the result of an industry which has
not been turned in the direction of usurpa-
ton, corruption and violence.
The evidently fast terminating lease of
power enjoyed by your petty faction, no
doubt suggests to you the Importance of
making short work of those who would
impede the manipulations by which are to
be signalzed the few remaining days during
which Providence, for our sins, permits your
authority to affect us, and my experience of
last year admonishing me that it is in vain
to expect any consideration at your hands
or of those in league with you, yield
unwillingly to the forces at your present
control, and hand over my purse to your
emissaries as waylaid traveller might to
any other gentlemen of the road whose
motto was like yours "Stand and deliver"
With suitable respect, remain yours,
EDWARD BOOTH.

REWARD OF VIRTUE The Shreveport
Times, in quoting an article from this paper
in rel ton to Kellogg's recent wholesale
pardoning of criminals, relates the follow
ing:
When the negro Henderson, who perpe-
trated the outrage upon the young lady in
Grant parish, was captured and about to be
shot, he confessed his crime, and gave the
names of number of others who aided
him. All but two of them were caught and
summarily dealt with. What had become
of the two was for some time unknown; but
while the witnesses in the trial of the Grant
parish prisoners were in New Orleans, one of
them, a young gentleman of Grant, saw one
of the scoundrels in the Customhouse and
on inquiry, learned that both of them were
employed there. though at the time one of
them, Charles Thomas, had the smallpox.
The one the young man saw is named Val
cour Johnson. Thomas, besides his situation
in the Customhouse, was on the Metropoli-
tan Police.

What Shall be Done +?
To the Editor Of the Bulletin:

In answer to this query put by you in
your paper of yesterday evening, comment
ing upon the doings of Kellogg's pets, I say
let the citizens torn Vigilance Committee,
and clear the city and State at once and
forever of the thieves and rascals that have
so long, with impunty, aye with Executive
favor, Piled their villainous callings.
There is no relief at all in the law, as at
present administered. The whole machinery
of the law is tempered with, Justice has
flown, and her name become by-w0rd.
A few frst-class hangings to waiting lamp
posts of notorious rascals, and a general or
der for the whole fraternity to make them
selves scarce within twenty-four hours,
would relieve the community at once.
To expect any help at all from the self
styled Executive of the State, is about as
reasonable as to expect an honest action from
the devil. The remedy is with the people
themselves. Will they apply it,
AN Ex-VIGILANCE COMMITTEE MAN.

SPIRITS FROM THE Vastly DEEP.

The recent excitement about what many
regard as genuine spirit stalking abroad
at the Old Basin, has created considerable
discussion. Many who have seen the shape
are satisfied that it was merely moving
body of carburetted hydrogen rising from
the Shiny depths of the canal, and assuming
questionable shape "only through the &C
tive assistance of vivid imagination"
Be that as it may, the accumulation of
testimony going to show that there is a
moving something on the waters of the
canal is more than sufficient to answer
those who doubt The whole affair. Robert
Dale Owen, in his " Footprints on the
Boundaries OF Another World" speaks OF
numerous instances where like figures were
seen; but scientists have failed to explain
the matter, and we again have to fall back
on our own ideas concerning the subject.
Generally such ASPIRATIONS are solved by
careful examination of objects in the
back ground, and scrutiny of whatever
lights may throw their rays in the direction
of the doubtful "something" Old cows
have had a monopoly in the ghost business
for years, and sheets ON clothes lines have
passed INTO tradition. A Gascon who was
near the Basin last might laughed at the
whole affair, and said that it was a cousin
of his fishing in the middle of the canal.
If that be true, his cousin must bear a
charmed life, for several well directed shots
failed to cause the least movement on board
the phantom boat, and it was only on the
completion of her walk that the goblin
disappeared.
We, of course, dispute the theory that
this shape belongs to anything superna-
tural, but we would like our scientific men
to look into the matter

est in this and the neighboring parishes 1t
is as bad as it well could be. Many planters
have no cotton up, and those who have find
it impossible to work it, as teams bog up to
the knees in most places in the fields.
Hence the grass is making fearful inroads
upon both cotton and corn. This is the
condition of the hill planters. Those on
the river would be in some better condition
were it not for the high water. Even if
there be no overflow, the crops will be
greatly injured by siperage and the'water
standing in the burrows.

Nothing can convey more impressive idea
OF the power of water as general agent
than the wonderful canons Of Mexico, Texas
and the Rocky Mountains, where the tor
rents may be seen rushing along through the
incision it has cut for itself in the hard rock,

perpendicular walls. The greatest OF these
canons, that of Colorado, is 296 miles in
length, and its sides rise perpendcalarly to
a height of 5000 or 5000 feet.

A nice point in law was settled in New
York lately before a referee, after three years
trial. Plaintiff and defendant had established
business partnership, agreeing in writing
to make up the capital only in cash. De-
PENDANT, however, contributed a note for
$4,000, his partner agreeing verbally. The
security proved worthless, but as it had
been made in good faith the referee decided
for the defendant, notwithstanding the plea
Of plaintiffs council that the provision in
writing prevented the defendant from set
ting up verbal approval of his paying in the
capital in credits.
