wife and his three year-old daughter Mertle,
both being asleep, blowing out their brains
He then seated himself in chair, and held
the muzze of his rife to his head with one
hand, while with the other he pushed the
trigger with the ramroad, and blew his uwn
brains out At daylight neighbours boy

THE south is sohdly Democratic for two

THIS. from the Washington Capital, is
very correct in whole and in detail: The
representatives aent from the south, since the
Republican rule of carpet baggers and bayo-
nets has ended, are OF ouch sort as to
convince the u5preJudiced people OF the
north that, if we are to judge Of the tree by
the fruit, in accordance with Divine precept,
the change has been most blessed and beau
tiful. The gang Of stupid, mercensry rogues
has given place to gentlemen of ability AMI
culture, and instead OF shame mantling the
chsek of the patriot at i roll-call Of ignorant
negsoes and low, dishonest whites upon the

The Virginia LEGISLATURE in sess,ou.

RICHMOND, December 4.-The legislature
met at noon to-day. A joint committee was
appointed to inquire into the legality Of the
session. A resolution was adopted request
ing the governor to communicate to the
senate all the information he has In relation
to the recent action of Judge Rivers, of the
United States district court for the western
district of Virginia, in removing from the
custody of the State officials certain persons
held for trial for murder, and in no wise
purporting to try the SAID persons in said
Federal courts for said crimes against the
State laws, which proceeding is considered
an enforcement of police regulations, and the
assumption and control of domestic affairs of
the State by Federal officers.
The governors message is almost entirely
devoted to a discussion Of the State debt.
The governor says: ''No excuse for the non
payment of the debt can ever be urged, save
that of inability. There are the only two
ways open for honorable settlement; that
is by the increase of taxation or far and
friendly adjustment with the creditors
Reputation or forcibie readjustment would
bring ruin; but increased taxation, though it
might cause suffering and priVation for time,
would ultimately bring prosperity and peace. I"
