A Desperate Murderer.

Hudson, April 30.--Joe Waltz, the muir
derer who is sentenced to be hanged at
Catskill tomorrow, killed his keeper,
Charles Ernest, in his cell at three o'clock
this afternoon by stiking him on the head
with piece of iron and smashing his skull.
During the past week officer Ernest has
guarded Waltz in his cell in order that he
should commit no injury to himself. The
murder to-day had been committed some
time before it was discovered. Geo. Olney
with reporter went to see Waltz and cal
led for Ernst but no answer being returned
they looked throught the cell door and saw
him lying on the floor unconscious. The
officers revolver was found in the possess
sion of Waltz. The victim lived only fif-
teen minutes after medical aid was sum
moned.
The prisoner manifests stoid indiffer-
ence as to his horrible deed. The excite
ment at Catskill is intense, and at least
1900 persons are collected arond the Jail,
threatening to break down the doors and
lynch the prisoner. The sheriff is cool and
determined to maintain order and carry
out the sentence of the court. If the mob
do not take the affair into their hands
Waltz will be hanged at one o'clock tomor-
row. The governor has been appealed to,
and two companies of MALTA have been
ordered to proceed from Albany to Catskill
forthwith.
p. S. The prisoner has since been hanged.

State LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of this state Is at work with
commendable industry, quorums being pres
ent, thanks TO the refusal of the railroads to
grant passes to the members, both on Satur-
DAYS and Mondays. The principal labor,
however, is confined to the work OF consider,
ing about 300 bills that embrace the revised
laws reported by the commission on that sub,
ject The commission, instead OF making Duf
a few alterations in the statutes to make them
conform to the new constitution, as was eX
pectcd. have in fact reported an entire new
code, both civil and criminal, and it will take
the legislature several months to go through it.
Aside from this, the proceedings furnish
few items of interest The schedules OF rates
prepared by the railroad commissioners have
been somewhat fruitful source of contention.
Il is understood that the railroads will pay
no attention to them, and that they may be
enforced by law, the question has arisen
whether they had not better be enacted into a
law. The question was on Thursday so lar
decided in the affirmative that the railroad
committee were instructed TO report bill to
that effect.
\ bill was read in the Senate on Saturday
making an appropriation Of $4,000 to pay
,nc eynpDscS of The railroad and warehouse
commission. The bill was not joyously re-
cciycd. but the entire body seemed TO take
some pleasure in laying it upon the table
quite hard. There is evidently "prejudicc'
nrainst the commission, and several motions
have been made in one form or other to abol.
ish it as useless appendage,' but the latest
decision, we believe is, that the immediate
abolition Of the commission would not be

THE CHANGERS OF IOWA

The Iowa Changers not only outstripped
their brothers in most states in their political
achievements last fall, but in the more i'm
portant matter of promoting the immediate
business interests and welfare of the farmers
are taking the lead very decidedly. We copy
the following from the Iowa State Register:
The State Grange of Iowa has purchased
the entire patent Of the Werner Harvester. 1t

A FORMIDABLE COMBINATION.

The numerous Trades Unions in England
and the important influence they were be
ginning to exert in regulating the price o.
labor, has led to the organization of an oppos
ing combination, called the National Fedora
ton of Associated Employers OF Labor" The
league is said to represent an nnOrmou,
power. Moncurc ID. Conway, in an article in
turner's Ndgazille, speaks of its members as
most of the wcathicst men in England, own
! ing two-thirds of the House of Commons and
fivc.sixths of the Upper House" the !SdtuldaJ
! ReUic,o calls them the greatest trading capital
| lists in the Kingdom - and the Spectator says
the league "has capital at its back equal to
that of many states, and can, as far as
resources 90, control the trade of two great
manufacturing Countries
There can be but one Interpretation to the
formation of such Il combination. 1t means
defiance to the working men 1t is saying
! to the trades unions and other labor combin8.
tions come Olive are ready for you II
it is an open challenge to that contest which
has long been predicted and as long dreaded
between capital and labor, which can only
end in unspcakable calamity to both. There
was no need for capital to combine in this
offensive and defiant shape. Capital has
always been more or less combined and has
had every advantage Of labor. But now that
capital openly invites a contest, labor has one
resource to fall back upon which in such a
contest must be decisive and which capital
can never have. Labor as against capital,
must always have the indisputable advantage
of numbcrs-of physical strengthen brute
force Capital can always beat labor IN a
game of bartcr-in counting and dividing
prolits-n speculation and tncsse-but it is
powerlcss in the presence Of mob armed
with rcvolvers and crow bars When capital
undertakes tosdcfy labor, it should bear in
mind that there are no bank vaults 50 soidly
constructed that they can not be rent by m
earthquake.

The aphorism about rogucs falling out
finds a hopeful application in the rumors
that have been so rife for the last few DAYS of
a serious rupture between President Grant
and his hitherto faithful hcnChman Senator
Morton The breach manifested itself IN thC
fight over the confirmation of Caleb Cushing
in which Senator Conkling, of New York
led off So impcrously in favor OF Cushing
The trouble was not that Morton cared q
cent whether Cushing became Chief Justice
or not but because the President in that Il,
