A WoRD FROM HENRY WILsoN.-In
letter to Colonel Forncy, of the Phladel-
phia Press, on the subject of the Massachu-
sets senatorship, in which he denies hav-
ing tried in any way to influence the result
of the contest, Vice President Wilson uses
the following language in regard 20 Hon.
Charles Francis Adams-and the n. Y.
Times says that many Republicans think
Just as Mr.. Wilson does:-
"From tho time l saw the temper of the
contest, should have rejoiced TO have had
the friends of Dawes and Hoar unite, and
place Charles Francis Adams in the Senate.
His large experience would be of value to
the country, that needs-in It's high positions
all the tried and trained statesmen Il can
command. Then should rejoice to have
the veteran anti-slavery men called into
the service of the State or nation. Their
ranks are thin and thinning. Your Stew
ems and Wilmot, Giddngs and Loyejoy, Sc
ward, Chase, Hale, Sumner, and others less
known but not less faithful, are gone
Those that remain daily grow more dear to
me. Mr., Adams was one of the true and
brave men of the carly days of the great
conflict and though we have not always
thought alike upon matters of mere policy,
aud perhaps we do not now, should be
gratihed 10 see him called into the public
service by the Republicans OF Massachu-
sets. or BY the National Administration"

pertain 10 the doings Of all corporations
chartered by legislative authority for tho
public good. The whole duty Of such cor
poralions Is not performed when they have
learned how to secure satisfactory profits
for their proprietors. They havea further,
and, in the eye of the law aud public poll
~, higher duty, which is TO fairly aud
faithfully furnish TO the community those
accommodations and benefits, to supply
which exceptional and exclusive privileges
and powers were granted TO them. All our
public affairs aud institutions are managed
by somebody; and If we are TO be preclud-
ed from proper criticism, because that
somebody might regard indulgence therein
as "porsonal assault" the great consti,u-

TO grumble, would be shorn Of all value,
by being tolerated only in the retirement

Another HORRIBLE TRAGEDY-CoN-
FEssIoN OF THE y URDERER. On Wednes-
day of last week the house of a man named
Hammet, situated at Homestead six miles
from Pittsburgh, Pa, was destroyed by
fire. An examination orthe ruins revealed
the fact that human bodies had burned
with the house, and II was accordingly sur
missed that the family had been murdered,
and then, 10 cover the crime, that the house
had been set fire 10. Suspicion fell on
Ernest Ortwein, hired man in the en-
ploy Of the Hammet family, and on Fri
day he was arrested, aud has made full
confession. He says that on the day of the
murder he had been at work digging fence
holes, and that on returning for his supper
lie found Mr.. and Mrs. Hammel absent
The two daughters and the boy whom Mr..
Hammet was bringing up, were alone in
the house. All at once there came ovor
him strong temptation to rob the house of
whatever money itmlght contain, and then
re knew If he did so he would be discov-
cred. lie killed all his victims with an
ak. The first victim was the boy, IA years
old next he killed the little girl, 4 years
old, and finally Il girl Ida, years of age.
He then searched the house, but could on
ly find about $40 in money. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hammet returned in the evening, and rs
soon as Mr.. Hammet entered the door he
struck him a we'll directed blow with the
ak which rendered him completely lifeless.
Mrs. Hammet when struck screamed and
fell iainting on the floor, where he soon
dispatched her. He says he did not fire
the house and it was not a part of his plan
10 cover up the murder. When searching
the house ne put an oil lamp in the sitting
room and when rushing away from the
building il overturned. He thought 1t
would go out and did not think the house
would burn. Ortweln is a native OF SUIT
garl and has not been in this country very
long.
