SECOND DISPATCH.l
Interview of the Murderer with His
Wife.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 22d.-Wheeler
had an interview yesterday afternoon with
his wife and Peckham, the man who wished
to take the murdered girl away. The re-
proaches of his wife had no effect on him,
and he coolly said It's done new, and can't
be helped" When she persisted in asking
questions, he shrugged his shoulders and
asked what was the "use of talking about
it?n When asked how he did it he drew his
wife to him, placed the left hand over her
mouth, and with the right clutched her
throat. He released her in a minute. She
called him a murderer, but he, pointing to
Peckham, said: There is the murderer.
There is the man who has caused all this
trouble" Wheeler says he has nothing more
to say about the murder now, but will have
before he is hanged.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept 26-Four thou
sand colorcd men paraded and held mass
| meeting Yesterday. A resolution was adopt
| ed declaring that the colored people will
emigrate from the State if their rights are
withheld. telegram.
This bit of news brings to view one prob
able result of a Democratic triumph in the
coming National election, little noticed, so
far as we have seen. The sole hope of the
colored people, politically, rests on the sue
cess of the Republican party. That the
election of Democratic President will be
followed by an emigration of the freedmen
from the South TO which the recent exodus
is a mere sprinklng, no one can doubt. The
Southern Democrats, elated with their re-
storation TO control of the Government, and
feeling as if the old times before the war
had returned, will certainly not permit the
exodus TO 90 on unhindered. The red shirt
clubs will be ordered out to stop it by force.
Does anybody suppose that the men of the
North will stand by Us idle spectators oil the
conflicts which will follow? Will the thou
sands of Union soldiers who escaped from
rebel prison pens, and were fed anu shelter
ed by the faithful blacks in their flight, for
get the service in such situation OF affairs?
VIII the sympatlies of hundreds of thousands
of law-abiding Northern men permit them to
see the colored Republicans of the South re-
handed by force TO condition of peonage
little if any worse than their former one OF
slavery, without lifting finger to prevent
it: These are not imaginary contingencies,
We honestly believe that the election of a
Democratic President would bring next Sum-
mer greater peril to the peace of the coun-
try, than has existed since the outbreak OF
the rebellion.

1t will be seen that under a Republican
majority, appropriations steadily decreased
down TO Democratic accession in 1877. In
the first wear the Democrats continued re-
ducton, emitting, however, needed appro-
priations. In their second year the year
preceding Congressional clections-they bad
~ neglected TO provide for many obvious
and indispensable appropriations. This was
exposed on the spot as an clectioncer-
ing device hui the figures went
forth and had their effect. There
they stand in the tables of lS,S as
great apparent saving, loudly Dragged
about at the time. But as everybody famil-
lar with the workings of the Government
knew beforehand must be, the pretended
savings which had been purposcly left out of
the regular appropriation bills, came in as
deficiency bills" after the election, at the
next session. There stands the proof in the
tables Of 1879. The appropriations that
year were much greater than in 1876, the
last year of Republican rule greater in cur
rency by "a, 30l ,sGS 50 greater in gold by

For the last year, the appropriations cN-

Legislative "Reminiscences Of the srat.lshoro
Banker.

Shortly after the war Vermont had an ex-
pensive militia system, and large share of
the time of one session of the General Assem-
bly, was occupied in discussing measures for
reducing the expense without impairing the
efficiency of the force. Many propositions
had been offered, discussed and discarded,
until the members were wearied, discouraged
and bewIldered. At this iuncture, near the
close of the session, Mr.. S. NJ. Waite Of Brat
tleboro, who was chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means in the House. offered a
very long amendment to the pending bill,
which he announced with quite flourish of
trumpets as the grand resOlvent of all diff
culties and doubts. Action had to be sus-
pended day for it to be printed and exam
ined, and then it was seen to be so nearly a
transcript of the law itself that the only al
terations it proposed could have been em-
bodied in bill of 20 lines Major Rounds
of Chester, as chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, exposed its true character
and showed how much more cheaply, SIM
ply and directly its objects could have been
accomplished Then arose a slow-spoken

Webster, who said he had heard Of drawing
trees by their tops and cats by their tails, but

the house roared, and the debate ended by
the withdrawal of the amendment, after 1t
had cost the State about $4,000 During the
lull of business the last night of the session,
the customary mock session was held in the
House-an occasion in which members al
ways take large liberties with each other and
make the most of their mistakes during the
session. In the midst of the hilarity Maj.
Rounds arose and said that clever young
man had handed TO him document that
caused him great mental anxiety and dis
tress. What to do with il he did not know,
and would like the advice of the House. Ac-
cordingly lie sent il to the clerk to be read,
and when it was read the gentleman from
Brattleboro settled down as low as possible
in his seat and the members were so con-
vulsed with laughter that no further sport
was attempted that night. The document
read as follows Resolved, That this
House has heard with profound regret OF the
