OWING to the stoppage of the mails at
Bitter Greek. says the Virginia Chronicle
of the 9th ult., Eastern news has been
decidedly scarce for the past few weeks.
An item of interest comes to us at last
in reference to the case of poor Annie
Mckenzie Curtis. whose death was caus-
ed by malpractice about two months ago
IN New York. In the Court of General
Sessions on the 9th ultimo, counsel for
Nine Ihl, the doctress indicted for NAL
practice, renewed his motion for the
release of the prisoner on bail. There
was no evidence against the woman but
the dying declaration of Mrs. Curtis.
which could not be accepted as evidence
in any Court of justice. District Attor-
ney Russell said that he would give coun-
sci for the prisoner an opportunity of
demonstrating to jury the fimsiness of
the case for the prosecution during the
present term. He did not think that the
woman ought to be admitted to bail, but
he would submit to the decision of the
Court in the matter. Recorder Hacket
took the papers and reserved his decis-
ion.

EASTERN BUTcHERY.-Here in Nevada,
California, and other parts of Pacific
Coast America. says the Gold Hill Ne,os,
little scrimmages are quite frequent,
where a couple of men full OF sudden
wrath or bad whisky, step out and take
a shot or a stab at one another, or a man
is killed for his money but for cool, de-
liberate murder and aggravated whole
sale butchery Strengthening whole families,
the people of the old settled States, the
other side the Rocky Mountains, take
the lead. They do up the thing syste-
m%atically, going into it like a contract or a
days work ; for instance: Probst, Old
Bender, the Juvenile Pomeroy, the Nathan
murder. or that lady who was murdered
in Boston the other day, and her throat
and mouth rammed full of sand by way
of variety. And now the telegraph tells
about a young fellow in New York State,
last Saturday. who was recklessly in love,
wanted to get married. and just because
the girl refused him q second time, he got
mad and killed her then he killed her
mother, met his old grandmother next
and killed her, and then, moi seeing any,
body else handy to practice on, he wound
up his little festivity by killing himself.
1t was fortunate that this reckless youth
did not live in a more thickly settled To-
cality. What next 7?

The ROVER MURDER TRIAL. "A dis
patch dated at Winnemucca April 26th.
says The cross-examination of J. w.
McWorthy, in the murder case of Sharpe,
was continued. Rover, the prisoner, said
McWorthy killed Sharpe, and goes on to
say that he saw McWorthy commit the
deed, that McWorthy choked Sharpe to
death, her cut his head off and dragged
him off by his feet and buried him I; but
when asked why he did not tell and have
McWorthy arrested he says he was afraid
he would go for him. There is scarcely
q person who belives his story. In a
conversation with a citizen, at the Jail
yesterday, the prisoner raised his hands
and called upon God to witness that he
was innocent. Last night Sheriff Nash
was put on the stand and testified to
finding the body and arresting Rover. as
telegraphed. He also identified the cloth
ing which was brought into Court as that
found buried withparts of the body. To-
day at Q r. M. Rover will make a state
ment which it is hoped will clear up the
mystery which hangs over this terrible
murder. All through the examination
the prisoner sat by his counsel and wrote
down the testimony of the witnesses.

MORE ATTEMPTED RADICAL MISCHIEF
FURTHER INTENDED INJURY TO THE SOUTH. -
a ioin, caucus of the Radical Senators and
Representatives in Congress was held at the

'ow.ug to some misunderstanding, Was not
largely attended.
A iont committee presented bill author
izug the President to suspend the writ OF ha-
beas corpus In certain cases, and, giving HIM
power to use the army and navy to maintain
peace and suppress disorder, and to appoint Dep
uty Marshals and Supervisors OF Elections IN
Congressional Districts, who, 10 addition to their
other powers, can arrest persons who may at
tempt to iutmidate voters or otherwise unlaw-
tuy interfere with the conduct OF the cleo
ton" Provision is made for "a fair and ull
registration of legal voters under prescribed
regulations. and it is made Unlawful Tor any
of the reconstructed States to impose excessive
poll taxes, or to require the prepayment there
of as qualification for voters at any election
at which members of Congress are to be chos-
en-" The bill declares 1.-THE exhibition or use
of deadly weapons on days of registration and
election for the purpose of intimidation or VIC,
lence, criminal offence, punishable by hne and
Imprisonment, at the discretion OF the Court,
aud so of violations of other parts Of the bill.
MIR. j. Alubler Smith, OF Virginia, moved
to strike out the words reconstructed States,
his object being to destroy The sectioua! refer
ence. so that, if the bill was TO be passed, 1t
should be applicable to all the States. He pro-
tested against further Federal Interference 10
the affairs Of the South.
Messrs. Dawes, of Massachusetts,; Cobb, OF
Kansas, and Williams of Michigan. agreed 10
the main with MIR. Smith, but Mcssrs. Law
renee, of Ohio; Albright, oil Pennsylvania, and
Lynch, of Mississippi took the opposite ground,
insisting there was the greatest need for Fede-
raj interference to protect coored men 10 the
exercise of their rights. No action was tax eu.
The caucus was not altogether harmonious,
and several of the members stated they would
not attend the adjourned meeting to night, as
they thought their time would be more profit
