From the Meadville Republican.
The average Meadville man or women
who has memory 20 10 25 years long
will recall family named Murdoch, who
resided here from 1850 to 1859. James
Murdock, the father of the now famous
witness, Agnes Murdock jerks. came
to Meadville from Glasgow, Scotland,
about the year 1910 OF 1850.
He was carpenter by trade. About
1855 Mr.. Murdock went South, deserving
his family here, who in time became re-
duced in circumstances and were finally
the recipients of charity.
The family deserted consisted of Mrs.
Murdoch who was a graduate of medi-
cal university at Glasgow, a woman of
beautiful form and face, and her four
children, of whom Agnes Douglas Muir
dock was the oldest, except son by Mrs.
Murdock's first husband, whose name
was Douglas. After Murdock had been
gone for some two or three years, n
reconciliation was effected by cores
pondence with his wife here, and
lusl DtluTt tHt DitdhlHH OUT Oh tne Ike
bellion she went South with her children
TO Join her husband, since which time
little has been known here of the where
abouts of the family. The war broke OFT
all communication, and the relatives in
this vicinity knos " little of them.
Agnes, who is now so well known rs n
witness, was nearly eighteen years old
when she babe good bye TO the beaux OF
Meadville. She is described by those
who remember her as girl of remark
able BEAUTY, AMI could well lay claim To
the title of belle of the village and most
fascinating girl, although one without
education, except what is denoted as a
plcked-up education. Her mo her, how
ever, was both educated and handsome ,
and had entree into the best society of the
town.

The Railroad Victims.

Coroner Rose received letter this
morning, dated Newton, Jasper county
Iowa, from the father of William X
Heugh, who was killed in the railroad
accident ON Saturday night last, inquir'
ing if his son had received decent
burial, and that he would have come on
to tLis city, but that he had been reduced
in circumstances, owing to severe losses
Il also stated that he hoped in short
time to have the body disinterred and
buried in Virginia, where the unfortu,
nate man was born. He also requested
that the effects of the victim, includi ng
a gold watch and small diamond pin
be sent 10 him by express. The request
of the father will be complied with by
the Coroner. 1t is only necessary to
state that the gold watch is a small silver
open face one, worth about two dollars
and that the pin could be purchased fol
fifty cents.

BosToN, July 5.-Grneral Butler spoke
for an hour on State and national politics
"A. the Greenback demonstration at New
buryport yesterday, and his speech WAS
regarded as the opening of his fall cam
pmgn. He pictured the present situa-
tion-the warehouses of the East crowd
ee with manufactures, the granaries OF
West overtiowing with produce, the
abundant railroad facilities between, and
still the people of the East wanting
bread, anu those OF the West suffering
for the want of hats, shoes and clothes
Str kes, mobs and Communism, he said
were no cure for the evils, and were not
adapted to a country which had free Sut-
frage, with power in organized labor to
rule nations and States. The trouble
was not in railroads or over production
but in legislat ON for capital to the neg
lect of labor. He reviewed the acts of
Congress, the issuing of untaxed bonds
the creation of national banks, etc, and
then proceeded 10 denounce the man
agement of the savings banks and the
"Stay law" He answered objections TO
the greenback party, and fully identified
himself with 1t rs against both the old

SILVER BULLION.
WAsHISGToN, July 5.-The Treasury
Department has resumed the buying of
silver bullion to coin standard dollars
dollars under the provisions of the silver
bill. Five hundred and fifty thousand
ounces were bought in New York on
"Wednesday at ifty-two and a-half pence
per ounce, payable in silver dollars. The
cost of this bullion was S635 800, and it
will coin I'll, ,11l.11 standard dollars
Although the parties selling the bullion
agree TO take standard dollars in payment
they do so knowing that silver can be
readily sold in New YORK to merchants
having customs duties to pay: When the
bullion is paid for the parties take the
standard dollars and deposit them with
the sub-treasurer, and take silver certif-
Gates, which are readily disposed of. BY
this plan the government still retains
possession of the dollars. 1t is thought
here in official quarters that unless some
plan is devised to force the silver into
more general circulation that by the time
Congress meets the storage capacity OF
the several sub-treasurers will be eX-
hausted. If the government should coin
the maximum amount of dollars autbo-
rized by the existing law there would be
on hand by the time Congress again re-
assembled fully thirty millions of these
coins.

SUCCESSFUL Axp UNsUCCEsSFUL
FRAUD.

IS1n Francisco Stock Eeport.l
The New York Tribune has engaged in a
little party work which to us seems Of
doubtful expediency. 1t has secured by
hook or crook, probably from the heirs Of
the late William Orten. OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, copies OF all
the secret kilograms sent by the Tllden
managers to their private agents in the
various States, at the time Of the organiza-
ton Of the electoral colleges. OF course
the Tribune claims to show from these dis
patches that the Tildenites were prepared
to commit any frauds to secure their ends,
and that they were only prevented by the
incorrect ability OF various persons Of the
Republican faith. We doubt if anything is
to be gained by raking up these
cipher kilograms. at this late day,
even in q Congressional canvass.
The American people are to-day much
more interested in learning about frauds
those that were merely contemplated, but
never carried out. II the Tribune
thinks it can, by the publication Of these
dispatches revealing an alleged conspiracy
to do a certain thing, distract public atten-
ton from the other alleged conspiracy.
which was successfully carried out. and
from the effects Of which the country has
not yet recovered, it will find itself mis-
taken. 1t is all very well to accus Tilden
Of attempting to bride electors, and charge
his agents with secret p~lottings, etc.. but
the great fact remains that none Of these
ihings were actually consummatcd. On
the other hand, the other alleged con-
spiracy. on which the Tribune is in this
connection prudently silent. was a COM
plete success, was carried through with
distinguished eclat and is now in full force
and effect throughout the length and
breadth Of the land.
