1t is anomalous and dIscredtable that
there should still exist "a color question" in

II there were any society in which all conf

The mystery Of the murder Of ALBEIT
Mo11roR and his clerk, in Michigan, s!N-
teen years ago. is at last TO be cleared
up by tho voluntary confession and sur
render of one Of the ussassins, whose con-
science could no longer bear its burden.
WILLIAM REPRE-, q farmer OF Presque Isle
county, appeared before the authorities q
few days ago, and revealed that he was one
OF seventeen men who bound themselves by
oath to take MoL1ToRs life. The whole
story Is dramatic; and that the secret OF
so many persons should he kept sixteen
years, and then be deliberately made known
by one o! their number Ia OF piece with
the exciting incidents OF August, 1875.
MoLiToR had gone up from Detroit. after
the civil war, to the far northern county OF
Pressure Isle, where he was one OF the plo-
neers and established himself there. He
worked energeticaIly to bring in settlers,
many coming from Germany; and he helped
them to start in farming, numbering, and
other occupations. He kept the principal
store in the county at Rogers City. and fur
nished the immigrants with supplies, often
