passed over northern Vermont a few
weeks ago is reported found near JAY,
embedded about four feet in the earth.

The trial of Edward Tatro for the
murder of Mrs. Alice Butler at High

that he attempted to outrage her, that
she broke away from him and attacked
him with u club when he followed her,
and that he then killed her with an ak.

the atfray could not be fixed on either

slaughter is imprisonment for not less
than seven years.

The other day, Mrs. E. n. Morse, of
North Montpelier, and daughter, aged
10 years, narrowly escaped death. They
were looking over gladiolus bulbs, and
were tempted TO see what they tasted
like. Removing the outer skin, they
inserted their teeth into one, but not
biting it. Almost Immediately after,
they were taken with pain in their
stomachs and cramps through their
whole bodies. Remedies were at once
given that counteracted the poison,
though they were very sick all night,
and are not anxious to repeat the ex-
pertinent.

they may now turn out to be something
less bitter. but the history of the past
furnishes me no ground for such hopes.
/ know great many leading colOred
Republicans who think, and L believe
correctly, that they will not be allowed
to live if they attempt to remain in the
State. Many of them have already
assured me that they shall, as soon as
possible, leave the State. Leading
white men in the Republican party are,
to certain extent, in the same cendl-
ton. White Republicans are not prob
ably in as much danger of assassination
as leading cOlored men. because they
are, as a general rule, better armed,
more intelligent, and it is more dan
gerous to attack them. But they can
not stay in the State, in my judgment,
with safety-or, rather, with any COM
fort to themselves, and they had better
get out. | say this from my knowledge
of the bitterness which exists toward
them on the part of the Democratic
party, and which was so manifest dur
ing the last campaign. The prObabili-
ty is that all patronage-all business
Relationship be broken up, and that
men who have been prominent Repub-
licans will find it very difficult, if not
impossible, to remain there and make
living. l don't think the Republican
organization in the State can be main
tanned hereafter, and believe that it
shonld not be. | say this because any
body who should attempt to maintain
it would do SO at the peril of his life
and the lives of those who would be in
duced to follow him. AS honest men,
therefore, the leaders of the Republi-
cans should not attempt to do this"

TO the Editor of the Boston Herald j.:

TO the Editor Of the Boston Herald:
Your Columbia correspondent is in
error in his statement that | had con-
ference with Gov. Chamberlain in New
York. l have seen Gov. Chamberlain
but once for year, and that was in the
private cabinet room of President Hayes
on the 9th of March. Nor have | writ
ten or telegraphed him, or heard from
him in any way. The same is true re-
specting Gov. Packard, except in the
matter of one telegram received from
him, which l read publicly in the United
States Senate. But l am sure that Gov.
Chamberlain knows that he has my pro-
foundest sympathy in the heroic though
unsuccessful struggle he has made in
South Carolina tor civil liberty and con-
stitutiOnal government. / am equally
sure that Gov. Packard feels that my
heart and Judgment are both with him
i'll the contest he is still waging against
great odds for the governorship that he
holds by title as valid as that which
justly and lawfully seated Rutherford
B. Hayes in the presidential chair. l
trust also that both governors know
that the Boston press no more repre-
sents the stalwart republican feeling of
New England Oh the pending issues
than the same press did when it de-
manded the enforcement of the fugitive
slave law in 1851.
Very Respectfully,

sonable doubt, and through the maudlin
sympathy of one or two false Gre
formers" who are so often found in
panels, conviction that involves death
has become extremely difficult, and
thus the power of law for the protection
of society is often weakened. 1t is safe
to say that when a fair-minded jury,
after an impartial trial, has convicted a
man on strong evidence, with which
nothing since discovered unavoidably
conflicts, of numbering a woman, with
whom society could have had no SYM
pathy-save the sympathy of all in the
right of all to live-there is no good
reason why the law should not take its

A New York Tragedy.

Our New York correspondent refers
to II late tragedy in that city, which it
seems to us in the light of later devel-
opments, is not shrouded in so deep
mystery as at first appeared. The cir
cumstances of this affair, so far as
known, are briefly these:
The firm of Jewett & Sons, OF Jewett
& Co., are the largest dealers in white
lead in this country. Their store is lS2
Front street. 1t appears that Orville
ID. Jewett was admitted to the firm, of
which his father, when alive, was
member, six or seven years ago, simply
because of that relationship. He had
been somewhat wild and paid little at
tentiOn to the business, which seems
not to have been to his taste. He had
been absent the past winter yachting at
Bermuda. His partners evidently de-
sired a change in the firm, as a man of
Orville's tastes and character was no
agreement was all ready to be signed
by which they were to pay the young
man $200,000 for his interest, and he
was to withdraw.
On the day these papers were to be
executed, Orville came to the office,
crazed with liquor and armed with
hand-grer ade, Il pistol and "A dirk, evil
IDENTITY prepared for bloody work. Some
angry words passed, and he pulled the
grenade flom his pocket and threw it
on the floor. An explosion followed
G. w. Jewett, the head of the firm, was
instantly killed. Orville d. Jewett's
legs were broken, and he received three
terrible wounds in the abdomen. lie
then drew ii pistol and attempted to
shoot himself through the head, but his
aim was defective. He died the next
evening in the hospital. Joseph A.
Dean-anOther member of the firm, and
the only other person in this private
office at the time-was very badly in
jured, and when the clerks and other
occupants of the building rushed in all
three men lay upon the floor, the uncle,
Geo. w. Jewett dead, Orville badl,
wounded by the explosion, and also by
pistol shots, and Dean also upon the
floor in ii nearly unconscious state.
For some reason, there has been an
effort on the part of portion of the
New York press, to throw suspicion
naan ha nutbnr If no Chnnt
ing; but the investigation goes to show
that the ungovernabe young Jewett
was the instigator of all this Internal
business. Passionate and uncOntrolla-
bic, he preferred death if he could
thereby destroy his partners.

BEN. wADE's LETTER.


To those in Washington who have
an intimate acquaintance with Ben.
Wade, of Ohio, and are familiar with
his eccentricities, the text of his letter
addressed to one of his friends here, in
which he is said to have criticised, with
some severity, the Presidents Southern
policy, is looked for with anxiety. All
accord to the ex-senator the full meas
ure of honesty, although he may ex-
press himself in language trough yet
strong" His long and eventful public
life, the consistency which has marked
his political career, and his devotion
to the interests of his party give him
Il prominent position among Republi-
can leaders. Free expression of opin-
ion by the representative men of the
Republican organization is, at this time
not only admissible but commenlable
No Republican will or should lose
standing because of an out-spoken ex-
preston of his convictions. Ostracism
will not follow admonition, if the latter
be given for the public good.
THE TURKO-RUssIAN WAR.
1t is characteristic of the people of
this country to express strong sympa-
thy with one or other nation engaged
in open war. During the Franco Prus-
sian war, which was declared on July
Is, 1870, and terminated February Is,
1871, lasting 30 days, the preponder-
ance of sympathy in the United States
was with Germany. This may be ac-
counted for mainly from the fact that
so large part of our citizens of foreign
birth is composed of emigrants from
that land. This consideration over
ruled the feeling of gratitude to France
for her efficient aid in our early strug-
gle for independence.
In the coming contest, if it be con-
fined to the two nations which precipi-
tate it, our best wishes will be for the
success of the Russian arms. This may
be traced to more than one cause. There
are but very few from either country
who have made homes upon our soil,
but Russia has been our fast friend I'M
der all circumstances, and we naturally
feel kindly towards her. On the other
hand, Turkey is looked upon as a bar
rier to the progress of Christian civil
cation. Her form of government and
the peculiar traits of character which
distinguish her people from other Eu-
rOpeans are distasteful to us. In the
fierce strife about to be inaugurated we
will rejoice, as a nation, to know that
victory has perched upon the Russian
banner. In no city in the United States
sill this preference be manifested with
more enthusiasm than at the Capital.
WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
In view of the fact that the public in-
terest requires the completion of many
public improvements, to accomplish
which it will require Il large amount of
labor, it needs no argument TO prove
that when wages are at lew figure it
is advisable to prosecute the work.
There is a double reason why this
should be done now. 1t would be more
economical to do so, and in addition it
would relieve vast amount of suffer-
ing resulting from the forced idleness

II Berkshire sent lots of sturdy citi-

and the descendants of these, both near
and remote, will have to go up and help
dedicate the monument and look the
ground over next summer. The church
still stands on the hill, in which Berk

where Gen. Baum fell by the side of old
