HAUNTED BY HIS FICTlM.-1n Philadel-
phia, on Friday night, an Englishman Civ
ing the name of John Henderson made bis
appearance at police station and stated to
the sergeant that he had committed MUIR
der, and requested to be taken into custody.
He said that he belonged to Troop L,
Eighteenth HussarS, OF her Majesty the
Queen OF England. In january last he was
in company with Sergeant Wheeler, OF the
same troop, at Colgate, England. They had
both been drinking together, when he dis
covered that Wheeler had more money
than he possessed himself, and he deter
mined to have it. He then obtained a
carbine and struck his companion a
heavy blow on the head, killing him al
most instantly. In rif1ing the pockets Of
the murdered man Henderson said he found
ZIG, which he took, and then dragged the
body to q cesspool and threw it in. lie then
deserted and took passage to America,
where he arrived several months. ago, land
ing in New York. Recently he came to
Philadelphia, but here as in other places he
could find no peace OF mind, and was cen-
tinually being haunted by the form OF his
victim. The English vice-consul at Phila-
delphia Mhen informed OF the affair, stated
that.a Sergeant Wheeler, OF Troop T.. had
been found in a cesspool, but not for some
time after the man had disappeared and a
reward OF ,e5 offered for the capture OF each.
It was believed that the deceased had COM
mitted suicide. The consciencc-strlcken
murderer was committed to prison for fur

:, -, a,yr w,;rrr finds the origin

On this subject the Boston advertiser says:
Richard Grant White should go to LOU
isiana before he attempts further to deprive
that State of the peculiar honor OF orr
ginatng the euphonious and expressive
"bulldozc." He finds the transitive verb
"to doze" in one OF SCOTS "Old Plays"
and affirms that the prefix "bull" is only
an intensive particle. His novel idea IN
finding such a new particle is probably
founded upon the expression "Bniiy! for
YOU; but to ignore the explanation or
huldoze" after the bloody doses OF the
cat o-nine-taiIs which brought it INTO being

RICHMOND, August -, 1877

Editors Dispatch: 1t was evidently All
oversight in the late Convention not to con-
fer upon the Executive Committee the
power of iiling vacancies on the State ticket.
That is customary In all the States, is it not:
/ know it is in many. | have no doubt the
Executive Committee will see the impracti-
cabiity OF any and all other modes OF sup
plying the place OF the late Attornev-Gene-
raj Daniel without great expense and incon-
venience. The suggestion in to-day's Dis
patch that one delegate from each county
and ward come to Richmond and make Sc
lection is impracticable, because the Con-
yention to which they were appointed dele
gates adjourned sine die OH the 10th instant,
and therefore they no longer have the power
to represent the people. TO appoint new
delegates to the number suggested Q20)
implies great trouble and Inconvenience,
especially to the country people, not war
ranted by the occasion. In constituting
the State Committee, OF course the Conven-
ton selected gentlemen Of intelligence,
familiar with the interests OF the Common
wealth. and worthy to bear and discharge
important duties in sustaining and pro-
noting those interests. TO supply this
vacancy seems clearly to be the State Com
mittec's prerogative, and who can doubt
that in doing so they will act with that dis
crcton and wisdom which shall give the
party entire satisfaction and the State an
able and efficient officer. NIX.

! "A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-Two, MEN KILLED
IN PHJLADELPHIA.-A shocking tragedy oc-
curred5in Philadelphia Tuesday morning,
at the railroad crossing at Ninth and Wal
lace streets, where the tracks OF the Ger
naptown and Norristown division OF the
Reading railroad enter the passenger depot.
The Philadelphia EUening Telegraph says
that about quarter before O'Clock there
was train being made up, and the enSi-
neer was backing the cars into the depot,
when Henry Stout, the f1agman, saw Il
man, apparently in an intoxicated
condition, standing between the rails
on the track the ears were on, and
to all appearances unconscious OF the fact
that the cars were bearing down upon bin.
Seeing the peril OF the man, Stout shouted
and motloncd to him to get out OF the way.
The man paid ne heed, when Stout. seeing
that no heed was paid to his call, spranS to
the mans assistance. Just before the cars
reached the stranger Stout had seized nm,
and strOvc to pull him away from the track.
But instead OF allowing him to accomplish
his purpose the bystanders were horrlhea
to see the stranger seize Stout III nerce
grapple. For second or two the men
swayed backward and forward, and then
the stranger, being the most powerful man OF
the two, dragged the flagman TO the ground
and fell HIMSELF just as the cars reached them.
For an instant there was a sickening sound
OF crushing bones, and then the mutiated
bodies OF the two victims were seen covered
with their blood. The tlagman had both
legs cut of, and the stranger had one arm
severed from the body, and the right leg
crushed almost its entire length, and was
badly cut about the head. The two men,
on being taken to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital, received every attention, but they
had both been so terribly mansled that
there was found to be no possibility Of re-
covery in either case. Stout the tiagman
breathcd his last at twenty-five minutes
after 10 o'clock, and at II o'clock the stran-
ger, supposed to be r. Link, OF Bucks
county, died half hour later. Stout was
only twenty-seycn years OF age.

WERE THE RUSSIANS OUrNUMBERED ?-The

of Plevna "Not even the Russians affect

they try to lessen their modification by Civ

the 5000 or 10000 which he really COM.

reinforcements--egea ,,asSe from Sofa, but as
we know that even the garrison of Nisch,
on the seryian frontier, was sent on to Sofia
to strengthen the defences south Of the Bal

The Mentenegrins are the most remark
able OF heroic people in the world at this
time. They are undylng in their heroic
hostility to the Turks. They have taken
the town Of Nicsic, 80 long fought over be-
tween them and the Turks, and are in a
fair way to conquer the citadel in the face
OF an army outnumbering their entire
State. The example Of this heroic nation
should inspire the Russians with an intre-
pidity that would soon advance Russian
forces right up to the boundaries of the
