THE END OF UDDERZOOK.

The Undertook case, the final scene Of which
WAS enacted at West Chester, Pa, Thursday, will
remain one of the most singular and complicated
in American criminal annals. 1t has proved
once more the fact Of the relative strangeness
of truth ald fiction, for the widest imagination
Of the writer of romance never evolved anything
more fantastic than the plot which in the first
instance included the pretended death of Goss
with the intent to secure the insurance on his
life, and in the next place procured the death Of
Goss in fact, in order to obtain not only por-
ton but the whole of the money fraudulently
got from the companies, as well rs to cover-as
WIS supposed-every trace Of the conspiracy.
6oss, it will be Observed although presumably
the chief actor III the affair, was in reality only
the tool Of Undertook. Even II the suspicion of
the companies had not been aroused, and had
Goss's accomplices obtained the insurance at
the outset, Goss would never have been sure of
his unrighteous in eritauce. Either he had to
put Undertook /" out of the way" or Undertook
had to perform that kindly Office towards him
for otherwise there was no safety. The second
took the initiative, instead OF the principal and
theu We had the next act OF the tragic drama.
The conditions OF the whole case are such that
they have made profound impression on the
public mind. Being matter local to the pso-
pie OF this section it, OF COURSE has here partic-
ular interest," but the press Of the country gen.
orally shows that the successive stages OF the
case have been everywhere followed with ab-
sorbed attention. We SEQ it stated, moreover that
the proceedings have been translated and largely
circulated in Germany ard other foreign coun-
tries. One reason Of this concern-the main one
perhaps-is that the interests Of Life Insurance
were closely connected with the disposition made
OF the case. So many people are associated with
these companies, and in manner which, OF all
others, touches most men the nearest, that it be-
came matter Of prime necessity to demonstrate
that the Life Insurance business could not be
victimized by adventurers of the Goss and I'd
der2ook stamp. Not to have probed the subject
70 the bottom. showing that the Companies were
iuyulnersble to such assaults, would have
occasioned general distrust and would have done
Life Insurance rremediabe damage. Every man
who holds Life Policy feels the surer of it now
that he knows svindlers cannot invalidate the
strength Of his company. While it is possible
that other such schemes may have succeeded,
and that sharpers may De now living on money

ton taken by the law to-day in Chester county

Now this il very fair Republican list, after
all, in such terrible storm--of Democratic braS-
ging-isn't it Nobody denies that the Repub
licans have suffered great losses But they had
great possessions. Nobody denies that the
Democrats, though not by their own strength,
have made great gains. But they had
all to gain and little to lose. And ad-
hitting that our ireverses have been
severe, and such as admonish us Of the necessi-
ty Of neither wasting our resources nor commit
ting new errors, still the strength Of the Repub-
lican party, in the midst Of disaster, remains not
only respectable but great. The States which we
have named, and which the Democrats GOULD not
capture, even amidst the recent decentralization,
next President. Now just observe that the Re-
publicans ouly need the following States
Pennsylvania, 30 votes; Ohio, 22; Indiana, ID;
Illinois, q; New Hampshire, 5;-sll Of which and
many more, they will carry, beyond doubt, un-
der any circumstances now likely to occur, and
they will then have 1856 electoral votes, or two
more than they need to make the President.
No Republican need be dsheartened. He only
ueeds 70 be thoroughly walked up, and to put hir
hand earnestly to the work of recognizing,
strengthening, and regeneratng his party.
Dress the ranks, errors, and recruit rather
than deplete the army, and we shall carry
the election in 1876, as we did in 1860, 1864
1868, and 1872. Victory is to be had The Re
publican Party Is powerful, and full Of vigor
With fourteen States at its back, and long lis
only temporarily surrendered, it has no cause 70
encouragement.

Recognizing ~ we do the spiritual nature Of
disease, ~ we'll AZ its physical characteristics
our first Efforts were to arouse the spirit Of the
patient by means Of criticism to resist the pow
or and leaden influence Of disease, which en-
veloped him like cloud, stupefying and befog-
ging every mental faculty and effort Of the will
to repel the intruder. The invariable effect Of
criticism WAS to stir up the patient in mind and
heart to make stout defence against the attack,
to resist the influence Of the disease with might
and main, and to throw him into sweat, thus
ut once relieving the fever.
The next thing WAS to prepare . quantity OF
ice broken into small bits, which could be easily
taken into the mouth and swallowed or allowed

had over sixty cases during the Fall and Winter

The efficacy OF the ice treatment lies in it's b.

and fashionable gargles will in some measure
check the morbid growth, but they cannot allay
the fierce heat and reduce the Inflammation Of

The safe burglary Trial,

JUDGE HUMPHREYS ORDERS HAYES AND HIS BoNDs-
NAN TO Re DIsCRARaKD-MR. HENKLE BEGINS
An ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF wHIrLEY-rHE TEs-
TIHoNY REVIVED AT GREAT LENGTH.
The trial Of the alleged safe burglary conspira-
tors WAS continued yesterday. After court was
opened the judge directed the Jury to retire, and
then inquired If Hayes WAS in court. Mr.. Riddle
informed the Court that Hayes went to New
York on Saturday night,
Judge Humphreys said that he had fully con.
sidered the subject and had written out his
statement which he would submit He then re-
cited the circumstances of the arrest Of HAYES,
which he characterized ~ an extraordinary pro-
ceeding and an attempt ct lAwlessness and in
imidation almost unprecedented. He claimed
that this court had sole Jurisdiction Of the case,
and had entire control over Hayes. He would
treat this whole proceeding ~ nullity, and order
the rSeaAe q HaySr and his bondsman, aid
thus wipe out this attempts Ut obstruction toward
getting 1t the full facts in this case, and would
treat this whole proceeding Of the committing
court ~ naught. The question of contempt
would be considered when return WAS made to
the notice issued on Monday.
Mr.. Henkle then began his address on behalf
Of Whitley, but had not concluded when the
Court adjourned.

Little respect seems to be paid to tie graves
Of many Of our citizens whose lives were notable
enough, it would seem, to secure for them more
fitting remembrance. Horace Greeleys grave is
said to be almost undistingushable among the
surrounding weeds. Thomas Paine's was q few
days ago ploughed out of sight by farmer on
whose land it was made. Aud now We are told
that the vault in which was placed the body OF
President Tyler is covered with ivy and weeds,
the front clone being dscernible, and that the
approaches to it are SO matted and entangled
with the same growth that they look AZ il the
foot Of human being had never trodden them.
