Married Life.

Tbs first year in the new home-sh there is
40 year like it; for though others may BIO hap.
pier, the early freshness is gone. Home, say:
for young married people should alwsysit posi-.
BILE, have a home of their own in preference TO
lodgings. Every divinity should have temple,
and spoussl love as much as any; Otherwise ths
first associations of the life will be bald and
mean, oven frowsy; the husband Will have no
house To rule, and tho wife no household to man
ago, and there will BIO tendency for snGes 10
get down st the heels, and things generally to
be in crunpled and loose condition: NO mat.
ter how tiny tho house is; that it is the first
makes it palace. No matter if you arc little
cramped in money matters. if there is reason to
expect you will not be always cramped. 1t
IN immense gain to be compelled to economize
for rich as we may become afterwards, habits OF
wholesome thrift never quite leave US. The
furniture may be scanty, and some OF 1t old;
but clean chintz makes common things pretty,
and the dulest Of rooms is set OFT BY some Of the
bright mic k nacks that come in so plentltuliy
among the bridal spoils. Besides. if you start
with everything you want, there is nothing to
wish for, and no pleasure in adding to your pos
sessions. George Eliot has asubtle remark about
the "best society. where no one makes al inyld-
ious display of anything in particular, and the
advantages of the world are taken with that
high.bred depreciation which follows from being
accustomed 10 them" Not much fear Of that
here! No doubt there will DO pictures and pho
tographs, the hanging OF which takes st least q
day, occasions considerable discussion, and per-.
maps involves the first serious divergence OF
opinion. If there is a garden, and one good
tree, of course, = lovers seat will be placed
there On each side of the fire place there will
be an easy chair, with table to it for tie inev-
table tea cup, the newspaper, the work, perhaps
even book for reading aloud. For in an early
and enthusiastic period Of married life there is
often good deal OF reading aloud-liable, it
must be added to drop into total disuse after q
short experience. The husbands voice is usu-
ally found to have been sufficiently tried during
the day to make further exertion undesirable.
The wife consoles herself by feeling that now
aho can choose her own books. and on the whole
prefers that, when her husband does speak,
it should be onversation-Suaday Magazine

MURDER CONFESSED.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Feb. lon February
IL, 1859, Hon. Murray Mcconnell, one of
the wealthiest citizens of Jacksonville, Ill
was found lying dead in pool of blood
in the private Office Of his own residence,
his head crushed in apparently by repeat
ed blows from an iron poker, which was
found lying on the floor beside the ghast-
ly corpse. From that day to this no light
has been shed on the question of who
was the perpetrator of the horrible dead.
One Robinson, hotel clerk, of Jackson
vile was arrested and tried for the crime
but was acquitted by the jury, the evil
dence proving utterly insufficient to fix
the offence upon him. To day prisoner
in the Mclean County Jail at Blooming
ton, named John Pierson, who was arrest
ed for swindling and who has served at
least five terms in the Illinois Peniten-
tiary, confessed to the States Attorney,
that he is McConnell's murderer. He
relates that he went to McConnell's office
to ask him for money to leave the city
with; that Mcconnell called him vile
names and ordered him out of the house
whereupon he picked up the fire poker
and struck him several blows with it.
He then fed and did not stop on his
travels until he had reached Sedalia, Mo.
Pierson is about fifty years cid and is
known as q desperate character.

The New York correspondent of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, writing
to his paper relative to the disclosures
of Returning Board rascality in the case
of Louisiana, says:
The effect of these exposures on popu-
lar feeling here is less visible than deep.
Republicans bite their lips, and, like the
German boy who had been fogged, think
damn. The best portion of the party
feel outraged, and not a few confess their
faith in republican institutions is shaken.
There are men here who know Wells
well, and say he is equal to the million
dollar proposition. He is thoroughly
venal, and the Administration which
gave him the power and opportunity to
do unlimited mischief is involved, ire
vocably, in his guilt. Nobody dreams
that the Louisiana vote can be given to
Hayes. These exposures have ruined
his prospects. Louisiana is his funeral.
Two-thirds of the Republicans of this
city to-day are morally certain that Sam
uel ]. Tilden will be the next President
of the United States, and, in view Of re-
cent disclosures, are rather glad Of it.

where Tilden has sure thing. Hence
the desperate effort of Mr.. Evarts to show
that state board of canvassers can over
ride and nullify the constitution.
Mr.. O'Conor in closing his argument

the two sets of Florida electors, the Dem
ocrats presented the best legal title
"Tt0t we haze The moral right," continued
the great advocate, SIS the common senti'

The Magnitude of the Issue.
David Dudley Fields Argument.

David Dudley Fields Argument.
The greatness of the question in re.
spect to the Presidential office and the
vast interests depending upon it, is as
nothing compared with the moral ele-
ments involved; for true as it is that the
person upon whom your decision will
confer the Office for four years will be
Chief Magistrate of forty-fve millions Of
people, Commander-in- Chief of your
Army and Navy, the organ between you
and all foreign States, the bestower of all
offices, the fountain of honor, and the
distributor of power, the executor of your
laws, but that is as nothing compared
with the greater question whether Or not
the American people stand powerless be-
fore gigantic fraud. Here is a certif.
cate; one feels reluctant to touch it. Hold
it up to the light. 1t is black with crime.
Pass it round; let every eye see it; and
then tell whether it is fit to bestow power
and create dignity against the will of the
people. One of the greatest poets in the
palmiest days of English literature,
writing of the coming of our Savior, has
said:

THE ASHTABULA DISASTER,

Hon. George L. Converse, of the legis-

the cause ofthe Ashtabula disaster, ar
rived in this city last evening from Co.

committee to make additional measure
ments and brought two civil engineers
Messrs. Bowen and Johnson, of Column

this morning and took the hemeasurements
the wreck having been brought from
Ashtabula to the Lake Shore company's

the committees investigation and as
soon as the report can be made it will
be presented to the general assembly,

WELLS has lost his stock in trade-lost
that million of dollars. Morrissey and
Hewitt would not buy, and the fear is,
poor Mr.. Wells did not get it out of Cam.
eron or Chandler. The State was for sale
however. Old Wells is indignant, at
Maddox, at Littlefeld, at the Democrats
After his threatening course before the
committee, he was searched and depri-
we'd of his two loaded revolvers and thug
knife. Wells is bloody minded as well
as million minded. Sheridan said eight
years ago he was rascal.

UNOFFICIAL MINUTE OF PROCEEDINGS.
The Electoral Commission commenced
its session to day at l o'clock and con-
tinued till 4. A large crowd ofinterested
persons were in front of doors of the
Court room expressing great anxiety to
learn the result of the deliberations. As
the members of the Commission came
into the lobby on their way out, they
were eagerly surrounded by their per-
sonal friends and questioned. AS the in
junction of secrecy had been removed
there was no objection to give the desir-
ed information. The following is a min
ute of the unofficial record of the Com
mission.
The question actually decided by the
Commission was that of Justice Miller
"ordered that no evidence will be receiv-
ed or considered by the Commission,
which was not submitted to the Joint
Convention of the two houses by the
President Of the Senate, with different
certificates, except such as relates to the
iueligibility of F. G. Humphreys, one of
the electors"
The vote was as follows:
Justices Miller, Strong and Bradley;
Senators ,Edmunds Morton and Freling.
huysen; Representatives Garfield and
Hoar-YEAs: eight.
Justices Clifford and Field, Senators
Thurman and Bayard, Representatives
Payne, Hunton and Abbott-NAYs,7 7.
While this is not encouraging, the fur
ther action was more hopeful. On mo-
ton of Judge Abbott, it was ordered that
"the Commission will receive evidence
relating to the eligibility off. G. Humph-
reys, one of the persons named in certif-
icate No. as eleCtor." This was carried
by the same vote, but this time the Dem
ocrats, with Justice Bradley, voted in
the affirmative, and the Republican Com
missioners in the negative.

No party can stand before the public
with the infamy upon il of the Louisiana
Returning Board. We are really surpri-
sed at the efforts of Republican journals
to carry the load, to justify and uphold
Wells in all his rascality. Is it because
Senator John Sherman endorsed him as
a pure and honest MANI Is the Shiny
Johns word law and gospel?

New YORK, February

New YORK, February 9.
A dispatch from the City of Mexico
says that Diaz has given orders to release
from prison number of Spaniards arbi-
trarily arrested for refusing to pay contri-
buttons to the revolutionary government.
Armed resistance to Diaz is considered
at an end for the present. The Church
party tacitly countenances Diaz, but is
really working to place the Conservatives
in power. A general opinion prevails
that the Diaz government will be of short
dirotioD

SENATOR Conkling's late speech as re-
ported by the Associated Press made
him say, che believed the Republican
nominee had been chosen the chief mag

in his speech, which is published in full
in the Congressional Record.

THE DEATH OF ONE OF "HELENS
BABIES"

Charles B. Haberton, aged four years
and ten months, the Toddie' of "Helen's
Babies" the popular work of John Hab-
berton, his father, died on Tuesday last
at 81 Columbia, Heights, Brooklyn, of
diphtheria, and was buried Friday in
Hartford Conn. The child was beloved
by all who knew it, beyond the interest
that was felt in it by those who connect
ed it with the story. "Budgy," the other
one of "Helen's Babies" is seven.year
old boy of Mr.. Habberton. The death of
Charles has stricken the father with
much grief.
