found last evening packed tightly under.
meath COX manger in rickety barn near
the river In rear of "Rotten Row" or east
Main street. 1t was that of a man about 30
years old with dark hair. The skull was
crushed and jaw broken; the eyes, cheeks
and neck had been eaten oy rats. The body
had on nothing but underclothes and a
white shirt. They were clean and new, and
the victim was evidently we'll to do. A
seal ring was on the left hand. The mus
cles of the left arm were shriveled from
paralysis. The murder was probably com
mtted during the extreme cold of January,
as the body was frozen solid. The discovery
is creating intense excitement as that vicin.
ity is the toughest part of the city and sew
eral outrages have been committed in that

Mr.. KELLEY AND THE ITALIAN MISSION
The appointment Of Mr.. Anthony NJ. Keil.
ey as American minister to Rome, has been
used by some Of his opponents in Richmond
as an occasion for reviving speech made
by Mr.. Kelley january y, 1871, when a
mass meeting was held in st. Peters Cathe-
dral in Richmond to protest against the &C.
ton of King Victor Emanuel in forcbly &C.
cupying Rome. Mr.. Kelley on that occa-
sion was made chairman of the committee
on resolutions, and presented a number of
resolutions to the meeting, which were
adopted. These declared that "the Catholics
of the diocese have witnessed with the pro-
foundest concern the recent cruel and
causeless invasion of the papal states by q
neighboring sovereign, and the sacrilegous
violence with which the Holy Father has
been driven from his home and bereft of his
law full authority Mr. Kelley made a
speech supporting these resolutions, in
which he referred to Victor Emanuel in Sc
we're terms. saying the cause that triumph
ed when King Victor Emanuel crossed the
Roman frontier was the cause Of the social
lists and intaels of Geneva, no more, 40 less.
The papers AT the time reported these resc-
lutions and Mr.. kei!ey's speech very fully,
and tits said copies of these have been sent
to Rome, i'll the hope Of having them put
lished by the papers there. These object.
ors 10 Mr.. Kelly are confined to some 1tal
ian residents who belonged to what was
known as the government party in Italy,
who sympathized with the cause of King
Victor Emanuel.

HER WEIGHT IN GoLD.-Mrs. Jesus Cas-
tro, al aged Mexican lady, now residing a
America Flag, in the Santa Castllini noun
tains, is, perhaps, the only woman who
literally speaking, ever cost her husband
her weight in gold 1t is said that in the
early gold digging days Of California she
was resident of Sonora, in which State
she grew TO womanhood. When about the
age of seventeen, paterna uncle, but q
few years her senior, returned with his com
panions, gold laden, from the Ell Dorado OF
the West, and became desperately enamor-
ed of her.
He sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, because
of the near relationship existing between
them, to solemuize the marriage. Persua-
sion being in vain, he tried the power of
gold to win the church his way, and sue
ceeded only by the payment of her weight
in gold. She at the time weighed III
pounds, and against her in the scales the
gittering dust was shoveled. Her atIianced
husband still had sufficient of this world s
goods to provide a comfortable home, aud
they were married. They lived happily
and she bore to her husband eleven
children. In the course of years he died
and she married again. Mr.. Castro is her
second husband. The above is fact, not
fiction, as living witnesses can prove.

was light gray overcoat used for spring or

we arrived in Richmond be said, "both OF

brown satchel, and thence went to a barber

Mr.. James Guthrie who lives at Little
Plymouth, says that he saw Cluverius on
several occasions wear key on watch
guard which answered the description of
the one found in the reservoir grounds,
and that be could identify it if it was the
same one.

the person Of Cluvcrus when arrested was
bought by the prisoner TO be given 10 a
young lady III King and Queen, and the
Commonwealth is in posse BSion OF facts that
go to show that it was never the property

The following information has been gath

They have the name of a gentleman of King

the office OF the American hotel March 18th,
and who says tina; Cluverius left as soon AZ
be thought he had been recognized. Anoth'
or witness is mall-carrier who lives in
King and Queen county. 1t will be remem-
ber,d that Cuverius says that he wrote to
Lillian hut once while she was in Bath coln-
ty, and that that WAS in September. This
mail. carrier says that Cluyerius was i'll the
habit Of meeting him at the forks Of the road
near Little Plymouth, and giving him let
iers to mail. He remembers that on seve-
raj occ; SONS letters directed Miss Fannie
Lillian Madison, Miiiboro, Bath county,"
were handed him by Cluverius since Sep

there Saturday morning and was present
when his father came. Remembers that
Cuverius's father shook hands with Gu
ve-ius, and as he he did so said, my son,
what is the matter with your hand?" Gu
verius replied that in getting on the train
that morning he caught his hand in his
watch chain and hurt it. A few minutes
afterwards another person came in and re-
marked to Cluverius, "Why, Cluverus, what
is the matter? The reply was that he had
been up late that night and had to get up
early that morning, and that he was not
feeling well.

STATEMENT OF THE VIRGINIA DELEGATION.

STATEMENT OF THE VIRGINIA DELEGATION.
As some misapprehension seems to exist
in regard to the object of the meetingof the
democratic members of Congress from Vir-
einia recently held in Washington, the I'M
dersigned deem it proper to submit the fol-
lowing brief statement:
In view of the anticipated removals of in
cumbeuts of federal offices in Virginia and
the proper disposition Of the numerous APP
plications of our own party to ell the posi-.
lions referred to, for which recon enda
tons were sought at our hands a conference
of the delegation was called in order that
some united action, If practicable, might he
taken on the subject, so far Is the Interests
of the public service, iii our Judgment, were
involved.
In addition to the appointments above
referred to the interposition Uf the delega
ton was solicited III regard to recommends
| tons Of applicants f,r certain positions In
the ID and 4th districts, now represented
in Congress by republicans. IL was con-
sidered best to avoid, if possible, any antag-
onism between individual members OF the
delegation in mendations for appoint
ments to office exclusively within the State,
and to ascertain, by an interchange of SEN
| timent and views among the respective
members, if any common line of policy
could be adopted. The signatures and in
| huence of members of the delegation have
been sought in behalf Of "a great body, if not
all of the applications, for appointments re-
ferred to, and the democratic members
of Congress were called upon to decide
whether or not il was in the interest Of the
public and the party TO act 'paratey or
together in the premises.
The members, in whatever they have done
or may do, have not assumed and do not
assume any right IL Infringe upon or usurp
the power to appoint, which belongs to the
executive department of the government
They claim only the right to recommend
applicants for appointment to offices, which
attaches to every citizen in the State, nei-
Their more nor less The exercise Of this
power of recommendation. under the cir
cumstances which surround them is una
voidable, however otherwise it might be
desired, &C., but we wish it TO I've distinctly

part, it is not proposed or Intended 10 tx
