Another Note from Mr.. Andrews.
RICHMOND, July 10. 1876.
To the Editor OF tha Frea pras. ,,d T5nas

RICHMOND, July ~. 1876.
10 the Editor Of the Free Press and Times.
On the 81 of July sent note to Mr..
Big Glow requesting him TO state to me the
reason for his insinuation the day of the
Sonvention that | was uniaithful to the
k'puolican party. etc. etc. After waiting
proper time and not hearing from him, a
note from me through the FREE Pass AND
LINES has reached him and be has deigned a
reply. He says: - | understand on good
authority that Mr.. Andrews was an attend
ant II not participant in the boiling con-
yention two years ago at Essex Junction. -
was not at the Essex Convention two wears
ago and OF course did not participate in its
deliberations. Again Mr.. B. says when
he found he could not be elected over Mr..
Hodges, ne did not use his influence with
his friends for Mr.. II but suffered them to
contribute TO the election of Mr. Giilett"
Ii Is evident that Mr.. Bigelow Is not ar
quainted with the Republicans who snr-
ported me two years ago. They are as in
tslligent set OF men as can be found in
the State; they do their own thinking. and
no one can carry them in their Jacket pock-
els. lime and again during that exciting
contest | offered to decline if my friends
would consent. But he SAYS one of nv
sons voted for Mr.. Gillett. True. for once
one of my sons did vote for Mr.. Gillett and
the other voted for Mr.. Hodges Mr.. B.
denies working or voting against Judge
Parker two years ago. am glad of it. II
has generally been understood that he was
one OF the contracting parties that sold out
the Judge, 1t i'll becomes gentleman that
assumes the role of smut-master to talk
very much about scurrility. But Mr.. Bise-
low ADVICE Is good and had he been gov
elnea oy IL at the County Convention in
stead of trying to smut the cbaracter Of a
Republica who never cast ballot AZ fbs
iali elections outside of his own party. IT
would have looked better still.

The Newark. y. j., Tragedy
CONGRATULATIONS

The telegraph brought US day or two
since briet account Of the bloody work per
formed at Newark, y. j.. by three deSpera-
does brothers of the name Of lhielhauson. and
the speedy retribution which overlook them
at the hand Of an Infatuated mob Of work
men. Later accounts show that the number
Of persons killed in the terrible affair was
six, Officer Dickerson being alive, but IN
conscious, at the latest accounts. Officer
Elsden. who was the first victim Of the assas-
sins, was very meritorious officer, and
leaves a young family in destitute circum-
stances. 1t appears that the murierers were
not insane or under the Influence Of liquor.
but were actuated By pure bloolthirstine~s
and desire to be reyenged on those by
whom they thought themselves wrongcd.
After the murder OF one OF the police ctfi-
Gers who had called at their house 70 serve
a warrant, and the wouniing Of another. the
brothers sailed out, and enc0uniering an
inofensIve man named Cahil shot him down
on the spot. They then made their way To-
wards the tanneries Of I. y. Dawson Il Co,
" here they endeavored to find Mr. Never,
the foreman, upon whose complaint war
rant for their arrest for attempted highway
robbery had been issued, but he was absent
from the shop, and the murderers commenc-
ed promiscuous fuSiiade upon the work
men, fatally wounding Two men, named re
spectiyely. Albers and Fisher. After the

and pursued the villains towards the PAs>aic
river, where their only possible means of e.
cape would be in swimming the stream
Knives and clubs were in the hands Of many
Of the workmen, who rushed over each other
in their mad pursuit. The ammunition Of the
desperadoes had given ont. and al one spot
handto-haud encounter took place, in which
the muriere-s were severely cut about the
head and body, but they made good their es-
cape As far as the river.
With the blood streaming down their
bodies they were followed hY a frantic
crowd, which every moment became larger
" hen the river was reached the men at

from the knife wounds and bruised from
blows that bad been given them with stones
aud clubs. They swan with difficulty, be-
ing nearly exhausted Still the stones and
other missiles were thrown upon them from
every hand that could find anything to hurl,
until finally, wien ilr out in the stream, |
they sank with exhaustion and soon were |
dead. So iearhl transaction has rarely |
occurred in a peaceable and well-ordered |

CONGRESSIONAL N0TS In the Senate. on
Saturday, Nj Elmunds introduced a bill
appropriating il 1000, 900 for the improve
ment Of rivers and harbors. as a
substitute for the pending bill which
arIropriAtes 5000, 900 for rivers
and harbors. In the House, permission was
asked to introduce a bill for pension of
$50 "a month for the father and mother Of
General Custer, and it was passed.
On Monday, in the House, the Committee
On Elections reported resolution in favor
Of awarding to James H. Platt, Republican,
the seat now occupied by John Goode, from
the second district of Virginia Goodies ap-
parent majority was l3l, but it was fraudu-
lent Tie committe is divided, Plat hav-
ing six votes and Goode FIVE. All the mi
nority are Democrats, and the point upon
which theY stand i that certain votes given
for Plat by workmen in the Norfolk navy
yard ought not to be counted, while at the
same time they insist upon counting votes
for Go1de which came from the same source.
Two Democratic members Of the commit
tee Mr.. Thompson. Of Massachusetts, and
Mr. House, Of tennessee, are unable to see
the Ir5lriety Of such a rule. 1t remains TO
be seen If the Democratic House Will reverse /
the decision Of tie committee, and retain
Gooie in tie seat.

Mr.. Rainey, of South Csfolina, said no
member could deprecate more heartily than
himself the opening OF tAe discussion He
had anticipated that, when Congress met, its
action would be such as to exercise salu-
tary effect upon the eDdre Democratic party
of the country thai it would close its de-
alterations withou. sgitating these questions
affecting the lives and liberty of American
citizens; but it appeared to him, if not to
Congress, that tn. negro had vote in this
country. So loyg as he has voice in this
government, it : necessary that he should.
on every occas'n, appeal to the country in
behalf Of those rights. Mr. Rainey confirm

Referring to the ground taken BY Carl
Schurzs paper, St. Louis despatch says
mo little excitement was created by the
editorial, written by Schurz, and bearing his
initials. The article is terrific arraign-
ment Of the Democracy, and keen analy-
cation OF the hollow pretence of the financial
plank, adjusted to please both the hard
money men and infltionists. The practical,
eventual result, Sehurz says, must be repu-
diation, should the Democrats succeed in the
canvass. He also asserts that there is a
degree of foundation to the statement that
Tilden, If elected, NAV die before the end of
