NEW YORK is unfortunate in her
county treasurers. HENRY MANN,
of Saratoga county, lad been elected
and re elected treasurer for fifteen
years, and the people would have
gone on electing him until he died if
he had not suddenly, old man that
he was, abscouded with $40, ZOO and
a woman, not his wife Mr. Mann
example has been followed recently
by Mr.. Seymour Tracy, treasurer ,t
of Yates county, and Mr.. Henry y.
Redway, treasurer of st. Lawrence
county, who stole 100000 Red,
way has enjoyed the confidence OF
the people fer eighteen years, ard
he has held the cfiice Of treasurer for
that period, probably stealing from
the inception OF his term. The
watch dogs" of The New York coun-
ty treasures are worthless ours.

AMOS SPEAKS.

TIE Radicals of Atlanta had
public meeting the other night in
which Farrow, Norcross, Akerman,
and large crowd of negroes par
ticipated. 1t was an indignation
meeting opposed to the calling of a
Convention to make a new State
Constitution. Alderman made zig
speech reviewing the making of the
present constitution, stating that
there were only "eleven carpet bag
gers" in the convention, while all
the rest were "native Georgians
Notwithstanding some of these ma
tive G eorgians" were illitera.e me-
gross, fresh from the corn-field, yet
the Hon. Mr.. Akerman did not tel
US low many "scallawags' were
in the number, whom Bob Toomb'
STYLES the "consummation Of all vii
lainy." Yes, Mr.. Amos Tinkermar
is perfectly silent about these "scal
lawags." Bat the white people o
! Georgia have not forgotten how thu
fellow Akerman, Farrow, Gaskill
and their kind, herded in secret con
clave with the negroes, in the I'm
ion Leagues, and publicly on tn
"stump" harrangued and sought, b.
ingenious appeals to prejudice, t
array the negro and poison his min

State, and that, too, while our peo
pie were overawed by the presenc
of Federal bayonets, and a larg
number of them "disfranchiscd' an

but his hopes will be doomed to dis

STRANGE JUSTICE

Out in Michigan they have a
strange way of dealing out justice.
From the Detroit Commercial we
learn that one Plug Campbell
struck a man with his fist and killed
him, for which he goes to State pris
on for ten years. Peter Demoret
stabbed a man with a knife, killing
him, and was sent to State prison for
two years. 1t is reasonable to infer
that Campbell who used his fist
didn't intend to kill, while Dsmoret
who used the knife must have known
there was danger. The sentences of
tho two so widely different, makes
Justice strange in her ways.

MURDER EXTRAORDINARY.

Brooklyn, New York, the city of
Beecherism, still keeps mp its rep,-
tation. w. w. Simmons, a work
man in wagon factory, visited one
Victor Kretz and wife on the night
of the 18th ,ult. All three drank
beer and brandy until druok, Kretz
goir off after more beer, returns
and finds his wife and Simmons on
the floor completely stupifad. Jeal
Gus of his wife and with theGhope of
getting money and Simmons lucra-
tive position in the shop, he there
and then chopped Simmons head off
with a Ratchet, wrapped the head
in a ne wspaper and hid it between
lumber pile and fence in Brooklyn.
1t was found and detectives arrest
ed Kretz. He denied knowing any
thing of the murder. He was turn
ed loose but afterwards re arrested
and on his way to the station
house he purposely cut his hand and
rubbed the blood on his pants -
When this was observed, an examiu-
alton of his clothes was made and
revealed large spot Of dried blood
on his pants. The detectives then
visited his house and upon a close
examination of the premises, in a
tool chest under the bed was found a
heavy. solid hammer that bore blood
stains and hand saw covered with
blood and bits of hair, and also axes
and hatchets covered with blood
marks. la another corner, under a
a couch, was small tin pail filed to
) the brim with fragments of a hu'
man body cut into pieces not more
than two or three inches in length.
At the side of the bed was large
chest dyed in blood. In common
black leather trunk was found por-
ton of the mutilated body, strips OF
flesh, and pieces of skin. In anoth
f err part of the chamber was a large
tin wash, boiler nearly filled with
portions of the mans limbs, pieces OF
the arms, hands and legs and feet
Ia the midst Of these remains was
the trunk of the body, the ribs strip
ped clean of skin and flesh, The
officers next searched the bed, and
turning Up the ticking uncovered
other fragments of the human body.
In the kitchen, underneath the fire.
place were found other remains. -
Kretz confessed to the murder. His
wife says she knew nothing of the
bloody butchery until after getting
over her drunk next morning. His
little step-chid raised up in the bed
and witnessed the frightful affair, a
reality more horrid than a dream
could picture.

Southern journals generally speak
in terms Of emphatic condemnation
Of the late abusive and iuhammato-
ry harangue of Mr. Toombs at At
lanta, Ga, touching the yankees
and the black vote. No one seems
to be pleased with it except ultra
Radical journals, into whose hands
it plays, and whose party could well
afford to pay Mr.. Toombs large per
diem to travel trough the South this
year and make just such speeches.

BBTRorHED TO HIS SISTER.

WE read in an exchange Of lad
who run away from his home at
Amsterdam at the age OF ten, took
passage as a cabin boy on ship,
and after travelling all over the
world, amassing fortune, at the age
of % years he went back home to
find his parents dead and the rest of
kinfoIks moved away. After ten
years more travel, he again landed
at Amsterdam, and fell in love with
a governess by the name of Maria
Reuter-, his name being James n.
Van Sellers. They were engaged
to be married and took ship for
America, intending to a have a
marriage on the ocean. After six
days travel, and the day before tho
marriage was to take place, Miss
Reuter- related the history of her
family, stating that her parents were
dead, and that a young brother run
away at ten years and she knew not
of him, aud then showed her moth
er's likeness. Van Sellers at once
exclaimed "That is my mother and
you are my sister " 1t was true;
he was engaged to his half sister,
The shock was terrible. Despair
and grief were theirs. They separ-
ated, placing the ocean between
them, he providing literally for her
future support and comfort.

A NICE PAIR OF SENATORS

Spencer, of Alabama, with charges
preferred against him which, if true,
ought to send him to the penitentiary,
still sits in the senate making laws
for honest people. That ponderous,
Iy respectable body has not as yet
been able to find time to decide upon
case which a jury of twelve men
would decide in an hour--and settle,
too, in favor of justice and decency.
Had Spencer been Z Democrat liz
stead of Republican, would there
have been any such delay Ger
