senatorial CONTEXT. 1t is due to the distin-
guished gentleman to say that the letter is
a most exquisite piece of composition and
does great credit to its authors ability. Iii
very brief, but il will do more to win
the favor of the democracy of In
diana than the volumes Of eulogy and
defense which have lately been written
in regard to the retiring candidate. Allud-
ing to the fact of Judge Holmsn's appearance
in the field and the consequent division of
his Own strength, Mr.. Voorhees, declares that
he prefers TO abandon the struggle for the
senatorship rather than complicate matters
by prolonged contest, dangerous to the
peace and harmony Of the party. The crisis
that has come upon the country through the
villainy perpetrated in Louisiana makes
it necessary for the opposition to
to stand firmly together, and Mr.. VOORHEES,
is willing to withdraw from candidacy
which threatens to create a breach in the
ranks. He does so in graceful fashion,
thanking his opponents kindly for their
courtesy, and pledging to his supporters the
gratitude of heart that never forgot a
favor or a friend" The Sentinel is not. OF
course, sure that it is included among the
enemies that are forgiven, but, looking
back upon the canvass, it is, on the
whole. inclined to think that since the day it
first offered him peace or war it has rarely
carried its opposition beyond the limits OF
good taste or good feeling. 1t was long ago
convinced OF the necessity of that unity
among the various elements OF the demo
cracy for which Mr.. VOORHEES, now speaks so
eloquently, and it fought against his election
from no narrow personal prejudice, but un-
der the firm conviction that such a result
would, at the present juncture, prove
disastrous to the interests, not
merely Of the party in Indiana, but OF that
broader constituency, the democracy of the
country. Retaining its original opinion
that the candidacy of Mr.. VOORHEES, was i'll
timed and unfortunate, the Sentinel can
not too strongly express its approval of his
withdrawal. The good sense of the act, and
the gracefulness snd good feeling with
which it is done are worthy of all praise.

comment upon its Importance:
HOTEL BATES, Jan. 9, 1875.
The Hon. B. f. Ravens;
My DEAR SIR: The fact that Judge Hol-
man has becomes candidate for the Senate,
at q late day in the canvass, divides the sup
port would otherwise have received. With
three candidates in the field, and perhaps
more to be added in certain contingencies,
the contest is likely to be prolonged, and
may become bitter and injurious to the
peace and success of the democratic party in
Indiana. both during the present session
of the legislature, and hereafter be-
fore the people. You are aware that
have been fully determined, from the first,
that would, under no circumstances, be a
suits. And now, when the most vital liber-
ties OF American citizens, and the most
sacred institutions Of free government are
openly ssssiled and destroyed by the lawless
and atrocious tyranny of the party in power
at Washington, the unity and consolidation
of all the elements of the democratic party
become more important than ever before.
As my contribution to this desirable
end, and in order to promote
harmony and concert of action in our ranks
in the future, I hereby authorize you TO
withdraw my name from the senatorial con-
test.
In doing so, / desire to express my sense
of the personal courtesy so universally ex-
tended to me by the supporters of my dis
tinguished opponents, since our meeting in
this city. shall carry with me not single
unpleasant memory, nor theslightest feeling
OF personal disappointment.
To the generous and devoted friends who
have gathered around me in this contest, 1
have no words adequate to express the deep
and lasting gratitude of heart which never
forgot favor or friend. 1 will bear with
me through life the most grateful recollec-
tons of their unfsltering fidelity and sup
port. Very faithfully. your friend,

GENTLEMAN FROM STANTON BREAKS UP
HIS CARRIAGE AND Is ROBBED OF HIS
POCKET BOOK BY BAND OF THIEVES.
Last evening gentleman drove from
Stanton to this city to meet friend whom he
expected on the hslf-p past eleven train. On
the way he rade into wagon in passing and
completely demolished his own carriage,
which he was compelled to replace with a
friends team. Upon his arrival at the
depot he stopped among crowd of young
losfers who were conversing about the depot
and was making inquiries among them when
they jostled themselves and took from the
watch pocket of his vest his pocket book,
and after few moments made off.
The loss was not discovered for some
time, when it was too late for the gentle
man to make chase, but officer Legg, who
is always just where he should be, stepped
to the corner of Walnut and Front street
where he found the party in the act of divi-
ding the spoils. He succeeded in taking
the ring leader, Chas. Crouch, but the

WESTERVELT,S CRIME.

| 1t has been ascertained, says the Sunday
Press, that Westcryelt is credited with hay
inr Informed an official recently that Char
! lie Ross was alive. Mrs. Westeryelt, the
wife of the prisoner, returned to New York
on last Monday, when she ascertaincd that
there was no hope for her husband. AS she
\ is Door, she will, no doubt, be compelled to
take care of her little ones by hard work.
A reporter learned from an officer that
there was another man supposed to be con-
nected with the case who is wanted badly
| BY the police. His name is Tom Richard
son. He was partner in the mothee busi-
ness with Mosher, Douglass, Westervelt,
and the Morris, and from his character it
is, and has been believed by the detectives
all along, that he could throw considerable
light on certain matters if he could be
found. When Charlie Ross d :, ppeared
Tom Richardson made himself scarce
also, and it is believed that the lost boy is,
or was, in his keeping. 1t Is also thought
that he is the fourth party referred to in
Mosher's letters to Mr.. Ross, Westervelt
constituting the third. Richardson is me-
diem sized and his face is marked from the
effects of smallpox. He is also wanted by
the Boston authorities for burglary, where
he was known by the name of Henry Parker.
Now, If Westcrvclt will inform the authori-
ties where Tom Richardson has gone, and
what became of him after the 23d or 25th Of
June, 1874, he may confer favor on him
self as we'll as relieve many arxious minds.
1t is we'll known fact that these four men
were together at different times, and that
Richardson met Westervelt now and then,
but his connection with the matter has
always been studiously avoided. In the
language of police captain, who spoke to
our reporter on the subject, otis the queer
est thing in the world what became of that
fellow. We've searched high and low for
him, and yet we cannot find him. It's my
opinion as we'll as others that where the fel-
low is Charley Ross is Also"

SUICIDE or A PROMIyEyT MN

Saturday morning the body of Hon.
Albert W. Markley, was found in the Della
ware river, at Alleghanqy bridge. On Thurs
day morning he arose at the usual hour, but
seemed disturbed. He divestcd himself of
all articles of value, consisting of diamond
studs; watch, chain, sleeve buttons, and
about $4,000, depositing them in bureau
drawer. He then left his home with the
intention as was suppose, of going to Port
Norris. The fast OF his not returning at
night and Of leaving his valuables at home
alarmed the family, and inquiries were at
once begun to ascertain his whereabouts
1t would seem that he crossed over to Phila-
delpha in the morning by the Shackan,axon
ferry boat, and was subsequently, seen on
Shackamaxon street, near Beach. On Friday
morning his friends, organized themselves S
into searching party and efforts set on foot
| to find him, but the day passed without:any
tidings being received of the missing man.
Yesterday, about noon, Mr.. John G. Bullitt
received u telegram stating that u body had
been found at Alleghaney avenue wharf, ,and
asking for description of the missing man.
When this was received Gen. Sewell, of the
West Jersey railroad company, and Doctor
Markley, q brother, visited the place, and
found that the remains discovered were
those of Mr.. Markley. 1t seems probable
that the body had been in the water since
Thursday. The body was yesterday after
noon placed in charge of his friends and re-
moved to his home, Cooper street, above
Fourth, Camden.
Mr.. MarElcy was born in Lancaster coun-
ty, Pcnna., and was 50 years Of age. Twen-
ty-ycars ago he took up his residence IL
Camden in consequence of his business en-
gagements requiring him to bc constantly in
that city, and there he has lived ever since.
He was wildly known in his business and So
cial circles, but more particularly in rail-
road circles.
He was for long time director Of the
Camden II AmbOy railroad company, and
after the lease of its line to the Pennsylvania
railroad company he became, and continued
up to the time of his death, prominently
connected with the New Jersey lines. lie
was also identified with the ferry conncc-
ting tn Jersey roads with this city, having
been for several years Vice President of the
Camden and Philadelphia ferry company.
Mr.. Markley took an active part in the poll
tics Of New Jersey, being one of the leading
Democrats Of.that State, and was an intluel-
tial man among his political associates. In
social life, as well asin hisbusiness relations
the dec ,ased always showed disposition
kind and Qbliging, and consequently had Sc
cured large number of friends. bIr. Mark
ley leaves large fortune.
