The Confederate Committee in Con gress, that bave been doing their ut most to destroy Blaine, received ft de spatch from London from ft man named Caldwell, entirely lifting ft charge made against Blaine in regard to rail road matters It bad been raid tbat Caldwell knew all about tbe trouble and all tbat was needed to settle the ecaodal on Blaine. Ab ! yes. if Cald well can only be found, be is tbe man. It happened that Caldwell is in London, end saw a statement relative to what be knew of the matter, in an English paper. At once be seat a despatch to the Confederate Committee, tbat be bad never bad any transaction with Mr. Blaine as it was charged on them, and stated further tbat he would go into a worn testimony to tbat effect, and ha it sent to Congress if tbe Committee so desired it. If the Committee bad been inspired te do what was right between man and man, and Congress, and tbe people of tbe country, they would bave given publicity to the despatch. But they were as far front tbe desire to do justice to Mr. Blaim as tbe Devil is from tbe desire to become religious cr virtuous, and so, instead of anooaneiag tba despatch to tbe pablto, or tolling Mr. Blaine, tbej pt it ra pocket aud said sot a word concerning it.- After a lodgiueat there of softie four -or fire da j J, Mr. Blaine beard of tbe sup pressed despatch, and in bis place id ongress, asked the Committee who bad concealed it, cuncerniug tbe matter. A man named Knott, from Kentucky, made answer that a despatch bad been received from London, and when Mr. Blaine charged the ooiuanlv work on tbe committee, Knott behaved himself like a rebel bully, talked about personal responsibility. aud other, rebel pet wajs of getting out of mean work. But Blaine held bitu to the question, and brought cut of tbe man a clear confession of the nature of the de spatch, aud that it entirely lifted all charges iB Mr. Blaine. Knott, to ex tricate himself from bis 'contemptible plight, said tbat be suspected tbe de spatch to be a bogus one, and that is why he did not reveal its contents. It does soeui tbat when men go into crook ed was, they are bliuded. Knott's ease ia a striking illustration, for when he excused himself for not leading the despatch, be proclaimed bow blind and stupid he is, for be tells the country that be put the despatch into his pocket, aud did not know enough to despatch back to the office whence it came, to make inquiry about its genuineness. Was it tucannees, or was it stupidity 1 lias there ever been greater meanness or greater stupidity ? A Nut to Crack. Tbe Richmond Dispatch lays down this nut for the Democracy to crack. As the Dispatch is for "winning," and dou't care who it wins with, it makes the problem of carrying a Democratic candidate through a rather knotty one : " First, no Western man can possibly be elected The currency question settles that point. Secondly, no South ern man can possibly be elected. Tbe war question settles this point. Bay ard, the timpathizer the South as true to us. ot Fit z. Lee tbe opponent of tbe Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments the enemy of all the re construction measures Bayard, tee say, would stand no more chance of being elected than Gen. Wade Hampton. Thirdly, no other New Yorker than Tilden can be elected. Judge Church mast be counted out of tbe fight. The Utica Convention was for Tilden. It represented the bonest part of the De mocracy of New York. It were folly to support tbat tbey could be brought up to tbe support of Church, or any candidate of the Canal Ring or Tam many Hall. Fourthly, we must have New York. Without her vote we are inevitably defeated." As Jiloen is already shelved because New York is going against him, where is the success ful man to come from ?

A shark, of the man eating species, was seen, ft few days since, by Capi. Smith, .While engaged in fishing for herring hi the Delaware, just above Chester. Tbe peculiarity of this kind of fifth is, that it turns upon its baok while in tbe act of seising it prey. A good sised shark can take off s boy's leg at ft single bite.

Logan, of Con cord, was recently returning from Sliip pensburg, he was met on the mountain by two tramps, one of whom grasped the bridle and the other demanded his money or his life. Mr. Logan's answer was the "pull" of a revolver, and in an instant shots were exchanged. The horse took fright, and carried Mr. L. beyond tbe reach of these highwaymen. On reaching tbe bottom of the moun tain, Mr. Logan found the robber's bul lets had struck him on the calf of the leg, scoring tbe t-kin, and bad glanced into his boot, whence it dropped out when tbe boot was removed. It is not known whether either of the tramps was wounded.

In a village in Belgium, an instance of most heroic endurance and self-control nnder sudden and intense suffering, occurred recently. Two workmen were employed at Ville sur-Ourthe, in fast ening a lightning conductor, at the top of a steeple, seveuty feet from the ground. One man stood at work npon the shoulders of the other, and a sud den gust of wind caused bim to spill some molten lead which be was using.

It is a striking example of the chauges tbe war bas wrought as well as of the permanency of some of the passions of the Southern people. At the last Presidential election Bruce P. Thomas, a young man cf "good family" it would bave been respectable in this latitude residing at Selma, Ala bama, voted tbe Republican ticket. He bad served with credit in the Confed erate army and bore ft good character, but he had committed tbe unpardon able sin. His step-father, a man of means, tnrned bim out of doors ; his former associate broke tbeir friendship, be was deuied employment, and every where be went tbe finger of scorn and derision was pointed at bim. It is doubtful what bis fate wonld have been at this juncture, but for tbe interposi tion of a good Samaritan. Jerry Har alson, a negro, who bad formerly been a slave of Thomas' father, but who is now a member of Congress, pitied bis eonditioa and procured bim employ ment as a clerk in the Treasury De partment at Washington. A few weeks ago, tbe young man fell ill, and was nursed by Haralson, who, finding bim beyond human aid, telegraphed the facts to bis "good family" and fr ends in Alabama. No response was reeeived, and few days ago Thomas died ; again his relatives were telegraphed to come for bis body, and again there was no response. He was buried far from his native State, and bis only mourners were black Jerry Haralson and a secret society of which be was a member. Forneft Prist. 1 t -ft innrw-iir Details or a UarrlMti Harder. St. Ai.bans, June Jr. Three yeri ago last Januajy, Charles Butler,- ft young farmer, twenty-two yean old, was married to Miss Alice Mead, an orphan, then just -short of eighteen. Butler owns a farur, npon which bis dwelling is situated, two miles north of Highgate Centre, and about eleven miles distant from this place. They bad no children, tbe family consisting of Butler and bis wife, Butler's fuller, an old man, and Edward Tatro, a FreuebmaOf employed- on the farm. Tatro is s young man, twenty-one years old, small, and of slight build, but of strong for bis size. He is tbe son of ft widowed mother, who lives in the neighborhood. He bas been to work for Butler most of the time since last summer, and bis relations with Mr. and Mrs. Butler have been in the maio pleasant, though it is said be and Butler have sometimes had a few words when they disagreed about tbe work. Yesterday Butler's father was away on a visit to one of the neighbors ; Butler himself was away, assisting at a raising at a neighbor's, and Tatro was plowing with Butler's team for another neighbor, Edward llaskius. - Butler came home between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Tatro just before C. Butler asked him why he came so early, and the boy answered that he had broken the plow point and beam. But ler, on examining the plow, found this untrue and charged the boy with it, whereupon be said be came because be said be came because he bad got bis "stent" doue and wanted to sharpen the plow point After snpper Butler told bis wifo be bad some business at High gate Centre, and asked ber if she wouldn't like to ride over there with bim. She replied tbat she was not feel ing well, and guessed she would cot go. Something was then said about Tatro's going but when tbe team was ready he said he would "stay with Alice," who bad meanwhile gone into a bed room opening out of the dining-room, to lie down. Butler wect away at 7 o'clock, leaving them alone in the bonse, and no other person is known to bave seen Mrs. Butler alive after tbat, except a little boy who came to the bouse a little later. Butler returned at about 10 o'clock, put bis horse in the barn, and went into the bouse by the kitckcu door. Ai be approached be noticed that the bouse waa dark. Opening Ike door he ad vanced a few steps, wten his foot bit against something lying on tbe floor, aud by the dim light be saw that it re sembled a bumau being. Supposing that it was Tatro, who had gone to sleep there waiting for bim, he called bim by name. Getting uo response be stepped to the box, and struck a match. It flickered and went out, but by the sud den flash of light be saw blood on tbe floor and a fearful heap of something lying there. Tbe next match burned and revealed the horrible picture of bis wife lying on tlia fluur . in a pool of blood, ber clothing nearly all turn off. She was dead. Almost paralysed (it tbe spectacle, he obeyed his first impulse, and rushing to the barn, mounted his horse to ride to the neighbors tor assist ance. As be reached the gate be beard a sound of confused voices, and pres ently met a group of three or four horror-stricken men bnrryiog to tbe bouse. Tbey were led by Tatro, who bad noth ing on but the tattered remnant of a shirt, and was crying and bowling like a madman. The party proceeded to the bouse, and made an investigation. Tbe murdered woman lay upou the floor, near the back or kitchen door, ber bead literally crushed in, and the brain pro truding through the broken tkull, her hands beaten black with some blunt instrument, bruised about the shoulders aud scratcbtd upon the ueck. Close by bet on the fl or, lay three sticks of stove wood, more or less blood-stained, and an old musket, which usually stood in tbe stairway. Leaning against a sink close by was an axe, one side of which was deeply stained with blood, and on the floor near tbe stove the trousers Tatro bad worn through the day. Tbe usual sleeping room of Mr. and Mrs. Butler was upstairs, and ad joining the one occupied by Tatro. An examination of it showed that some one had apparently been lying not undressed upon the outside of the bed. Tbe floor and walls were covered with blood, as was also the floor and walls of the ball and the stairs. A store-pipe in Tatro's room was knocked down, and that also was blood-stained in various places. An old chair, which bad stood by the bead of tbe bed in tbe Butler's room, was found broken to pieces, and one of the legs appears to have been buried by a terrible blow in tbe murdered woman's head. The boy Tatro was examined and found covered with blood. His bands were crimson with it, and blotch es and spatters were on his bare legs and arms. . He was watched while Mr. Butler rode rapidly to Highgate and bronght back ft physician and officer, wheu he was immediately taken into custody. He was nearly crazed with excitement, nobbing and crying, but stoutly denying any guilt. This morn ing a Coroner's jury was called by Jus tice Lewis Christian, and an iuquest was bel J at tbe scene of the crime. The Justice and jury examined the premises earelully, with results as above detailed. Upon taking the testimony of several witnesses, tbe jury (onnd a verdict that defeased was murdered by the prisoner Edward Tatro. The pris oner was fully committed to await tbe action of the Grand Jury next fall, and was brought to St. Albans this even ing, intense excitement prevails, ana there is no other topic of conversation on tbe streets to-night. Tbe murdered woman was very pretty and attractive, and probably wonld not weigh more tban a hundred pounds. Tbe scene be tween Tatro and bis mother and sister at the close of tbe examination was heart-rending. Garibaldi's wife reoently applied to bim for legal authority to assume tbe management of the estate of ber father, who bas fallen into ft dotage'. He an swered by bringing ft suit for divorce. She has several children wbo are no kin to Garibaldi, for husband and wife have aot met since 1800, rmTfci A Hon Polaoaa Ills Parents. Last Wednesday a week, a young man named Allen Laros,- wbo waa at the time school teacher and stndent at law, walked four miles front bis father's bouse to Easton, this State, and bought 41 ounces of Arsenic. Then he hastened borne, chatted pleasantly with bis father aud mother, and when tbeir attention was distracted from bis movements he threw the death-dealing powder into the coffee which the family were to drink for supper. Vbt.n sup per was ready he went to tbe table and watched the effect of his diabolical aot, with feelings akin to delight, and saw them fall from the table, and is said to bave laughed at bis mother's agony and sobs. The excitement created by this terrible crime, which resulted in tbe death of tbe father, mother, and an old friend of the family, oamed Moses, con vulsed the entire community and led to an investigation by the Coroner. THE VERDICT. That Martin Laros came to his death from the effects of arsenical poison, ad ministered in coffee on Weduesday even ing, May 31, 187G, and they believe that tbe same was administered by Al len C. Laros. ' THB ItCRCERER'S COSFESSIOX. While the officers were searching the premises for evidence of the prisoner's guut, Allen rose in his bed aud looked caluilv about the room. He smiled when be noticed bis brothers and sisters weeping by I is bedside, but immediate ly afterward shouted out, hoarsely, " I did it ! 1 did it !" Tbe officers were sent for and came into the room at once. Every oue, save Mr. Saudt, was dis missed, and the door being locked the latter approached the bedside and com manded Allen to speak the truth. For a few moments the prisoner said noth ing. He buried bis face in bis bands ar.d made a strenuius effort to weep. His failure was disgusting to those who witnessed ir. Tben ho raised bis bead upon bis band, and, looking tbe officers steadily in their faces, repeated his first ejaculation "I did it." "Where did you put the money ?" akf d Saudt. The money is out by the sheep stable. I put it there Wednesday night the same night that I poisoned them. 1 always knew father bad money, but didn't know how much, aud I was de termined to have it. I took the money before I put the poison in the coffee pot. I took S Lug's money, too, but don't Low much it amounted to. The only reason that I had for killing them was tbat they might be dead I didn't want any bother about the money. I confess, also, that tbe money taken from tbe place some time ago was taken by me. I took just enough of tbe cof fee to make me sick. I drank it to throw you people off your guard. kBow it is very wrong what I have done, and I want you and all of God's people to prav for me. 1 took tbe silver out of father's drawer and put it in Moses Scbug's pocket. This is my confession, true and faithful." The Deed or an Insane Wo man. A despatch from Beaver, Pa., nnder date of the 7th inst., says : For many years Mrs. Salhs raddis has lived in this place, for rome tiuie past ber only companion being ber daughter Rachel, about tweuty-five years of age. Tbe daughter has fur a long time manifested symptoms of iusanity, at times being extremely violent. lier violent spells were of rare oc currence, however, and although .Mrs. Faddis had often been advised to bave Rachel placed in an asylum she always refused, saying tbat as long as she could manage her she prefened to bave her at heme. Two weeks ago the old lady was ntiss ing from her customary tounds, and a call was at once made at her bouse. There was no one to be found there but Rachel. She was asked where her mother was, but the only reply she made was, "They tcok ber to glory." Feats were at once entertained that the old lady had been made away with by Rachel. A woman living near Mrs. Faddis' said she had heard loud screams at the tatter's house a night or two be fore, but as Rachel was in the habit cf occasionally indulging in loud lamenta tions she thought nothing seriously of the matter. 1 he country was searched for days, but no signs of tbe remains of the missing woman could be found. On Mouday last a visit was made to the bouse, Rachel having been removed to other quarters. The stench that per vaded the rooms was horrible. Disin fectants were scattered about the place, and two men, stimulated with brandy made a search ot the house. They found a closet n one corner of the house, the existeuce of which bad not been known by any one before. In this they found the remains of Mrs. Faddis. The bead was severed from tbe body, which had been chopped into nnmerons pieces. There is no donbt that Rachel, in one of ber vio lent moods, overpowered ber mother, killed her, and tben cut the body into pieces to stow it away in tbe closet. Xew Advertwemenls. Executors' notice.
