The MOilics Only scOtci,ed, Not Killed.
[Cincinpati EDqnirer.1
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-All accounts
from the mining districts agree that the
Mollie Maguires are scotched, not
killed, and the good citizens of Schuyl-
kill, Carbon, Columbia and Luzerne
counties are greatly animated by ru-
mors OF plotting for revenge. Nor are
the rumors all that alarms them. Since
the executions of last Thursday several
deeds of violence that are almost direct
ly traced to the murderous Mollies have
occurred. One OF these Is the murder
OF William Conner, respectable man,
whose body has been found near White
Haven, and another the brutal assassin
alton Of John Grady, non-affiliated
miner employed in one of the Lehigh
collieries. AS yet, however, there has
been no general uprising such as was
dreaded, and little indication Of what
may be the specific plan Of the friends
of the hanged murderers. Still the au-
thorities are on the alert, and detectives
are scattered through the suspected
districts. From these the passwords
and other "goods" that were tele-
graphed abroad yesterday were OBJ
tanned, and their PRONUNCIATION through
the press was a part OF the scheme to
DEeHk up Jn6 Organization.
The Coal and Iron Police and Capt.
Linden, Of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency, are still patroling the region.
There seems to be an unusual commo-
ton among the Mollies infesting the
Butler Valley, and quite number OF
persons have received coffin notices.
James McDermott and Michael o 'Brien,
who were witnesses at the trials OF sew.
eral OF the executed Mollies, have mys-
teriously disappeared and it is feared
they have been decoyed into
some OF the isolated mountain re-
sorts of the lawless members OF that
terrible organization and murdered. A
number of disguised and armed men
Quakake toward the Columbia region
at an early hour this morning. The
houses Of Patrick Burns and Timothy
Branigan. near Delano, in the Mahony
District, have been placarded with
'..cotfin notices." warning them to leave
the region within twentv-four hours
under penalty Of death. Elsewhere, in
the middle and northern coal fields,
there seems to be an unusual
movement among the miners and
the lawless characters, the feel
ing that something important,
as we'll as startling, Is about to occur,
generally prevailing among all classes
Of citizens, while no little uneasiness
exists in places where the Molly Ma
guire element Is a controlling and vim
dictive power. In some districts, where
the authorities are almost powerless.to
cope with the law breakers, the appre-
tensions Of general uprising have be-
come so great that families are leaving
for points where there is more protec-
ton for life and property. This is par
ticularly the case with those who took
any, part against the Mollies at their
trials.

Of the whole affair depends upon the be-

Between eccentric laws and playful
policemen the respectable citizens of
New York often has @ hard time Of it.
The other evening, while man and his
wife were enjoying the evening air on
their own steps, some ruffians came
along and, selling the woman by the
foot, such disturbance was raised as
brought an officer. The young scoun-
drels then fled, and the gallant officer so
well understood his business that he not
only did not pursue them, but fell to
clubbing the citizen on the steps, and
knocked him into the street and kicked
him around until it was deemed per-
fectly safe to drag him off to the police
station, with the assistance OF another
officer.
The wife followed, and they were
both locked uD. Repeatedly the man
said he was fatally injured, but wide.
awake police justice the next morning
fined them, for whati Is not clearly shown
and in default of payment they were
locked up. The victim Of the clubbing
died. The officer was arrested, and the
coroner Investigated the affair, after the
manner Of Investigating such things in
New York. The result is perfectly
one. The murderer was released
on $500 bail, while the widow Of the
murdered man was locked up as wit
ness.

THE HAIR TRADE.
where the Ladies' Chignons Come From.

Where the Ladies' ChignOns Come From,
The trad in human hair continues to
increase In Marseilles, and 1t has now
become staple article Of commerce in
that city. Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity did not exceed sixteen
tons, but 1t had increased in 1873 to fifty,
and In 1876 to eighty tons. 1t was thought
that this total would never be exceeded,
but the returns OF 1876 have already
falsified the prediction, as during the
past year ninetytwo tons were regis
tered as having arrived at Marseiiles.
Formerly all the hair imported into
Marseilles came from Italy, but the
country has been made unable to meet
the increasing demand, and a brisk
trade has been opened with the extreme
East. Thus, of the ninety-two tons i'm
ported last year, forty-three came from
italy, while China supplied thirty six,
Turkey five and Japan three tons, the
remainder being made up Of importa-
tions from Egypt, India, Germany, Bel
GUM, Spain and Algeria. The total
quantity Of hair imported into France
last year is estimated at 1872 tons, valued
at 5000, 600.

IN. Y. Tribune.J
WASHINGTON, June 11.-A gentleman
who spent many years in the Western
territories, has Travelled extensively in
all OF them, and Is thoroughly familiar
with their topography and resources.
estimates the maximum pop,1lation
which the territories and the States of
Colorado and Nevada can support at
1,400,OOO. W
This estimate, IL correct-and IL is
sustained by the best information that
comes from army officers and scientific
travelers-has on important bearing
upon many interesting public questions.
The time Is at hand when there will be
no vast. areas OF fertile land tempting
the emlgrant to the West. Even now
the limit of profitable agricultural set
tlement In Western Nebraska and Kan
sas has been reached. Beyond stretch
vast plains available for grazing pur-
poses only where water can be OBJ
tanned. Further west comes the re-
g1on OF mountains and table lands.
where no rain falls, and where
agriculture is only practicable along the
banks OF rivers or In q few localities
where water can be obtained for irriga-
tion from the streams formed by the
melting SHOWS on the mountains.
These localities are rare because the
mountain peaks and chains are for the
most part bare Of snow In summer.
West OF the Rocky Mountains
and their, lateral ranges, the sage
brush desert, utterly worthless
for culture, extends to the Sierras.
Washington Territory has different
characteristics from the elevated
rainless interior region, but timber is
lts ch1ef resource, and farming Is con-
fined to few valleys.
The section OF country described has
an area greater than that Of all the
States east Of the Mississippi river, but
its population century. hence will
probably not equal that Of Massh-
chusetts to-day. Each territory, by
making the most Of its mining and
FARMING resources, may acquire popCla-
tion sufficient to entitle it to admission
as State, bat not one is likely to ever
have more than O single member Of
Congress. Except in the Senate the
relative power OF the East and the West
will not therefore be much changed in
the future. There will be few more new
States erected in the present genera
lion. Colorado was only admitted after
> long fight. Nevada ought to be set
back into q territorial condition. Her
population is less than so, geo, and it is
not to be expected that she will ever
have as many inhabitants as in the old
states are requisite to form Congress
district.

NEW YORK's NEXT SENATOR.
The Many Democratic Candidates i'm the
Field.
fSt. Louis Republican. I

For an off, year in politics there is an
unusually lively promise of political &C.
tivity in New York this fall-State Off
GERS and Legislature will be elected,
which will choose successor for Sena-
tor Conkling, whose term expires March,
1879. The senatorship is OF course the
main prize, and there are goodly num-
Der Of big fish after it, il the gossip of
Albany can be trusted. Altogether the
most prominent candidate mentioned is
ex- Gov. Tilden, whom rumor persists in
charging with aspirations. Chief among
the competitors for the Democratic
nomination are Judge Church, Lieut..
Gov. Dorsheimer and ex-Gov. Hoffman.
Among the Republicans, of course,
ConkliDg stands foremost; but it is
limited by the knowing ones that Secre-
tary Evarts is anxious to try himself in
the Senate, while it is almost positively
known that ex-Gov. Morgan and ex-
Senator Fenton are stripping for the
fight. The candidacy Of 80 many strong
men is sufficient indication of the bitter
ness with which the struggle will be
made for the Legislature, and in State
so uncertain as New York no one can
predict the result.

A STRANGE MURDER.
IN. Y. Times.1

PARIS, June 1e.-During the past two
years we have had three shocking MUIR
ders by school boys, and in each case a
morbid disposition was apparent, and
an intellectual condition which left no
room for doubt that the mind was affect
ed. What shall we do with such per-
sons? They cannot be let loose to COM
NIT other crimes, nor can we cut off
their heads. The Reform School, or
n,aisOn de detention, does not seem to be
sufficient. Illustrative of this idea we
have case just reported from Angou-
leme. One day last month young girl
Of IS, a domestic in the house of Prof
Fraiche, was seen running through the
streets streaming with blood, and
in a state of terror that is indescribable.
When stopped she cried that her young
master had stabbed her; turned round
two or three times, staggered for an in
slant, and fell dead In the street. At
that moment the son Of NJ Fraiche,
professor in the College of Angouleme,
came up and looked upon the scene with
the rest. When told what Aimee Laca-
ton had said, young Fraiche replied
that he must have been crazy. but at
any rate Aimee had nothing more than
she, merited. Moreover, he had prom
ised to kill her some time ago. When
violent symptoms Of despair He said
that he was in the study trying to COM
pose some Latin verses when Aimee
came in and began to brush up the
hearth. He went into his fathers room
and took dagger, and coming back,
plunged it twice into the girls back as
she was yet bending over the hearth.
He had then tried to stab himself, but
it had hurt him and he could not give
the second blow. He had, in fact, a
slight prick in the breast. In prison
this boy became rational enough, and
appreciated the gravity Of his act He
is Is years old, weak, ricketty, almost
deformed. and afflicted by a complica-
tion Of misfortunes. His forehead pro-
jects in most astonishing way, his
head seems twice too large for his body,
and he is so squint-eyed that he has to
put book close to his nose in order to
read. On hearing the case the jury ac-
quilted him on the ground Of moral ire
sponsibility; but, exercising the discre-
tion allowed in such cases, the judge
ordered young Fraiche to be confined in
a nadison de correction until he had
passed his 21st year.
