MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Boston Tailoress Stabbed to Death on

A Boston TailoreSS Stabbed to Death on
the Street by an Unknown Man.
Boston, March Mrs. Harriet Bell, a re-
spectacle tailoress, was murdered on Kirkland
street, near her home, this morning by an un-
known assassin. Mrs. Bell left her house
about o'clock to do an errand at neighbor-
ing store. She was followed on returning by
man about so years old, about six feet tall, me-
dunn weight, gray hair, gray stubble beard.
He wore long blue overcoat and was we'll
dressed and had apparently been drinking,
though not to excess In front of Mrs. Bells
house he ran up behind her, spoke to her and
then stabbed her in the throat. She lived but
two minutes. She was heard to say to the fell
low Just before the stabbng, ST don't know
you The police expect to catch the murder
err.
II seems that Allen @. Fairelough the al
legged brother of Mrs. Bell has been often ac-
companied in his visits to her house by man
whom he (Fairelough) bad been heard to call
and who was known to number of Faire-
lough's friends as Josh" This man has been
commonly supposed to be Faireloughs brother
and has been known as Joshua Fairelough.
He has been employed as peddlar for Allen
and fully answers the description given b. an
eve witness previous and subsequent to the
murder of the person who followed the woman
into the doorway and escaped after the assault.
Three sisters of Allenl @. Fairelough, the only
tucket, r. I. An interview with one of them,
Mrs Mary Brooks, of Pawtucket, proved be-
yond doubt that the only brother they have
is Allen; that they do not know Josh" only
by hearsay, and that he is known to have been
somewhat of dissolute character. Mrs. Har-
riet Bell is no blood relation Of Fairelough's
but he has been very intimate with her for sew
eral years.
The only motive, so far as learned, for the
murder is that Mrs. Bell stood between some
of her relatives and some valuable property,
and even this motive is not satisfactorily es-
tablished. Allan Fairelough is believed to be
now in New York city He has heretofore,
while there, stopped at Crooks hotel, but as
building is now undergoing repairs he is sup
posed TO be in some boarding house in that
vicinity. The fact that the attention of two
officers was called to the murderer while he
was walking away from the scene of the crime
and that they failed to arrest him, supposing as
one of them raid that it was 'simple assault"
excites much comment. They had the man in
view five or ten minutes. These officers mem
toned the matter to the officer in whose dis
tYict the crime was committed, and he. upon
repairing to the house discovered that muir
der had been committed, but by this time the
murderer had escaped and though every effort
was made by the police he has not yet been
CAPTURED.

On motion of Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania
joint resolution was passed granting the
use of arms, tents, &C., at the encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic on the battle
field Of Gettysburg next July.
Mr.. Geddes asked leave to take from the
Speakers table the Senate bill appropriattng
$4,000 for the erection OF statue of Chief
Justice John Marshall.
The House at 1.35 went into committee Of
whole on the state of the Union and Mr.
Kasson called up the tariff bill. A point of
order was raised that the bill was entitled to
no special privilege as it was not bill to raise
revenue The chair sustained the point OF or
der and ruled that the bill for the appoint
ment of tariff commission had not precedence
under the rules to consideration at the present
time.
The agricultural appropriation bill was then
taken up. The amount appropriated is $685.
$50, an increase of $78,3S0 over last year.
After rambling debate on the tariff and
other subjects the committee rose and the
Senate bill was passed authorizing the
Secretary of War to use hospital tents for the
relief of the sufferers from the overflow of the
Mississippi river.

[Note-Under decision of the chairman of the
committee of the whole tariff commission bill must
take its regular place on the calendar. The pros
poets of early discussion of the measure therefore
is not promising.l

scientific philosophy Of this generation the
most incorporating antagonist theology
has ever had. "Sclence and CHRIST have
nothing to do with each other" wrote Mr..
DARWIN to the young student But that was
because the science taught by Mr.. DARWIN
does not admit Of the possibility Of Divine
Incarnation; and there was no use in arguing
about consequence Of Its teachings which
was obvious.
And as to immortality, according to that
science, 1t Is something for poets to dream
about, but Of which man can know nothing.
In the view Of the Darwinian philosophy, an
oyster, an ant, dog. or an ape Is as much
and as little immortal as a man. Every
one." as Mr.. DARWIN said, Unjust draw his
own conclusions from vague and contradic-
tory probabilities" This Is practically q
denial Of Immortality, certainly such as
Christian theology teaches.
On the one side, is the Church based on the
supernatural. On the other, is the scientific
philosophy Of Mr.. DARWIN, which knows
nothing and admits nothing except the
natural. They are, and they must ever be,
irreconcilable antagonists.

Too Much for His Intellect.

The letter in which Mr.. FoLaER accepted
the Republican nomination for Governor was
unfortunate; the letter In which Mr.. B. PLArT
CARPENTER has accepted the Republican
nomination for Lieutenant Governor Is lam
entably weak.
Mr.. CARPENTER calls the forgery Of tele-
gram misunderstanding as to q proxy; and
he likens the Hon. S. B. FRENCH to deacon
1t is too great strain upon the intellect"
he goes on to say, "to imagine that harmony
can best be evolved from discord" CARpEN-
TER has evidently never heard OF bringing
order out OF chaos. Besides, there could DO
no greater strain upon mans intellect than
the attempt to reconcile the acceptance Of
the Saratoga nominations with any defen-
sible standard Of political rectitude.
He further says that he desires honesty,
fidelity, and harmony, and nothing more.
We may add that the Republican party needs
nothing more just at present, nor anything
else half so much as these three qualities.
He audaciously attempts to take credit for
the exposure of the forgery by which his
nomination was rendered possible, when he
says that honest men will repose still greater
faith in party that is not factional or back
ward in exposing an attempted fraud This
is good deal like using a badge OF shame
for battle flag.
Finally, CARPENTER assures the public
that he is opposed to monopolies in all cases
and he declares that n monopoly generally
exists when an individual controls, and not
when large number unite their energies
and their fortunes for the protection Of them
selves and the people. Let us apply his
definition to Republican politics, and is 1t not
plain that he himself is the mere agent of
political monopoly which has become so OBJ
jectionable in its character that it is rcpudi-
ated by honest Republicans in all parts OF
the State?

We are inclined to think that those lawyers
IRE right who differ from the AttornayAaen-
oral In regard to the ballot upon which the
Congressman OF Large is TO be voted for in
this city at the ensuing election.
Mr.. RUSSELL thinks the name Of the can
didato for Congressman at Large should be
placed on the Congress ticket. Mr.. JAMES
II. VARNUM and other Republican lawyers
think that his name should be placed on the
State ticket with those Of the candidates for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other
State officers.
The Attorney General bases his view on
chapter 712 Of the Laws Of 1871, which enacts
that at every election at which Representa-
tive In Congress is to be elected, the inspec-
eors shall provide separate box, in which
the ballots for Representatives in Congress,
70 be endorsed Congress-" shall be depos-
lted. Mr.. VARNuM contends, in the first
place, that this statute relates only to the
election Of Congressman who are chosen by
districts; and secondly, that it has been re-
pealed by subsequent legislation, so far as
the city Of New York is concerned.
Two statutes applicable to this city ap-
pear to be now in force, and they must be
looked at together in order to come to a correct
conclusion upon the question which has been
raised One Of these is chapter SIS Of the Laws
Of 1879, in relation to elections In the city and
county Of New York. This act prescribes the
marks to be placed on the several ballot
boxes employed in elections, directs that
Number Three shall be marked Congress"
and further provides as follows:
"The name Of the person designated for Representa-.
i've in Congress shall be separate ballot which
upon the face thereof shall contain designation of
once and the district for which the officer be elect
-; and which when folded shall be endorsed show
upon the outside thereof the words Congress Number
Three. and to be deposited in box Number Three"
election Of members Of Congress who are
chosen by districts. In the case OF Repre-
sentative chosen by all the voters Of the State,
1twould be impossible that the ballots should
show from what district he is to be elected.
The second statute is chapter $50 Of the
Laws Of 1880. which contains these words:
"1he Of oil persons voted by any elector at
any election in whose election all Of the of the
STATE have the right alike to participate except Electors
- President and Vice President and Chief Judge and As
ISOLATE Judges Of the Court of Appeals shall upon
BALLOT which ballot shall be endorsed State"
This language in terms clearly embraces
the case OF Congressman at Large. He is
. person "in whose election all Of the voters
Of the State have the right alike to partici-
pate." II, therefore, the name Of the candi-
date for Congressman at Large is placed upon
the ballot endorsed "State," the letter OF the
law will be complied with; and we can dis
cover no reason for thinking that the letter
Of the law does not truly represent the intent
OF the Legislature.

IrrecOncilable Antagonists.

A young student OF Jena who had been
reading DARwIN's works found that they
raised religious doubts in his mind. They
could not fail to do that, provided their philo-
sophy had gained control over him. Accord
ingly tho young man wrote to the late
Mr.. DARWIN, who replied as follows:
"siR am very busy, and am an old man in delicate
health and have not time to answer your questions
fully, even assuming that they are capable of being
answered at ALL Science and CHRIST have nothing

This candid declaration of the philosopher
contrasts strongly and favorably with the
moro or less disingenuous attempts OF some
of his disciples to reconcile what we know as
Darwinism with religion. In acknowledging
that he did not believe in revelation, and
looked on immortality as doubtful, Mr.. OAR
WIN only accepted the logical consequences
of his principles.

Glory Enough for One Man.

The venerable SIMON CAMERON of Pennsyl-
vania has been in this neighborhood during
tho last few days paying visits to some OF his
personal friends. At the age Of "a he is as hale
and vigorous as man could hope to be; and,
although he has retired from active partici-
patton in public affairs, he watches their de-
velopment with intense interest," and with O
judgment as clear and as wise as ever.
There are three conspicuous facts In the
public history Of Mr.. CAMERON which will
certainly form for him an imperishable dis
tinction In future years.
The first OF these facts Is that when he was
Secretary OF War in Mr.. LINooLN's Cabinet,
he recognized the full force of the truth that
slavery was the turning point OF tho great
struggle; and accordingly, he was the very
first to propose that negroes should be en-
ployed as soldiers in the Union army.
Another OF these facts is that at the
close Of his long period of service as a
Senator of tho United States. he opposed
the Electoral Commission, plainly declaring
to his Republican intmatcs In the Senate
that it was infinitely better that the Re-
publican party should go out OF power and
that Mr.. TILDEN and the Democrats should
come In. The people had so decided In the
oiCSIiVu, duu no uclu JNhJ W TeUdlu Un6
Administration and the Offices through any
cunning devices against the will Of the people,
could only lead to subsequent disaster.
1t Is not too much to say that the sequel has
more than indicated the soundness Of this
honest Judgment. How many Republican
statesmen there are who now heartily wish
they had followed it!
And finally, we recall the fact that through
out his protracted career, Mr.. CAMERON has
probably done more acts Of individual kind
ness, and has helped more people who needed
help. irrespective Of all distinctions OF sect
or party, or previous condition Of servitude,
than any other American OF his day.
We think that these things form q valid
claim upon the admiration OF men; and long
may this aged. statesman remain among US
to enjoy that popular esteem and sympathy
which he 80 remarkably deserves.
