About noon on Tuesday last, in the village of Oneonta, Otsego county, Victor Beach, son of the late Samuel B. Beach, murdered bis mother bv snooting her first in the head and then in tbe body. He next shot himself, the ball entering bis right eye and passing out of the ear. When neighbors reached the house. Mrs. Beach lay upon the floor, just breathing her last, and her son near her, the blood oozing tram his skull. He soon roused up and began to talk, saying that he was drnnk and mad; that he meant to kill his mother and then destroy his own life; that on returning home he went up stairs and got a revolver belonging to bu brother, Oscar Beach, and came down stairs and found his mother engaged in making a the in the stove; and that as soon as he got a good opportunity he tired the shot at ber head, and the other after she fell upon tbe Boor, and then made the attempt upon his own Hie, and was sorry he did not succeed. Dr. Heigs Case examined tbe wound of the mur derer, and does not' regard It as dangerous. Beach was taken in charee by Constable E. W. Bennett, and Coroner Henririjr, ot Otsego, tele sraphed to come and hold the proper inquest. Coroner Hendrlx arrived during the afternoon and summoned a jury, who were sworn and proceeded to examine the case, and found that Mru Martha B. Beach earn to her death rv shots at, the. hands of Victor Beach. The prisoner was fully committed for murder, to await the action of the Grand Jury, which convenes in Aognst. He cannot be tried until the Bitting of tbe Court of Oyer and Ter miner in October. Officer Bennett was directed to remove bkn to the jail of the county as soon as the state of his wound and his health would lermit. It is proper to state that Victor Beach s a cripple, having been accidentally shot some years ago, the ball reaching the region ot the spine and there remaining. He has no use of his right hand, bis right arm and leg are withered, and lis whole physical and mental organization fearfully injured. Mrs. Beach was a. most estimable woman, and did all that a mother could lor the poor wretch that has taken her life. She was about fifty-three years of age. Vorrlblo Fall from a Church Spire. Horn the Indianapolit Journal, June 26. The chapter of horrible accidents received an addition of more than usual terror yesterday morning, in the full of one ot the carpenters en gaped on tbe cupola ot Ziou's Cliuicb, on Ohio street. Mr. Peter Wilson was engaged in raising the frame work of the steeple, and stepping up a ladder about 115 feet from the ground, missed his foothold, and in falling struck upon the roof about two-thirds of the way Jrom the comb to the eaves, breaking through the slate tiles and sheeting, and bouncing npon tbe roof of the two-story frame house Iust west, and thence to the ground. The dis unco from wherehe tell totheroof flrststrucK we should judge to be nearly sixty feet, and the force with which he fell may be Inferred from the breaking of quite a large hole in the slating and board covering, Strange to say, he was not killed outright, but Is etill alive, although no hopes are entertained of Ms recovery. His lower jaw was broken In four places, his ankle broken badly, four or rive ribs wrenched from the spine, and the scalp shaved clean from the ekull in the spot where he struck the slating. If the skull was broken, no displacement was discovered. Mr. Wilson was carried to his borne in an insensible condition. He is a Welchman, of about thirty years of aee, and having been a sailor, was entirely fearless of distance, and for thnt reason had been engaged In framing the spires of the First and Second Churches, and then at Zion's Church. Murder of a Boy by a Playmate. From the Quincy III.) Herald, June 15. We heard yesterday of an exceedingly shock ing tragedy which occurred on Sunday last, in Marlon coanty, Missouri, about twelve miles west ot this city.l Tbe i umor was that a boy. nine or ten years of age, residing in the family of Mr. Albert O. Johnmn, shot and Instantly killed a little boy about three years of age, the grandson of Mr. Johnson, who was on a visit to him with his parents at the time. It seems the boys, in company with other children, were play ing in the barn, the boy first alluded to having a pistol in his nand. The little fellow started to go out of the door, when the other told him he should not go, and threatened to shoot him if he did. Tbe child, Derststlng in his Intention, proceeded on his way when the young demon, tor we don't know what else to call him, raised his pistol and de liberately fired, the ball passing through the chilli's brain, and killing him instantly. The neiDetrator. we understand, is a strange boy, whom Mr. Johnson picked up in West Quincy some time last winter. He wai barelooted and nursed at the lime, and asked Mr. Johnson, as hewas driving by, to give him something to eat. That kind-hearted gentleman, on ques h,m a. in his condition, and the boy stating that he bad no parents, took him home with him, and has been kindly caring for him ever since. After killing the grandchild of bis V.lrJ': hn. it is stated, ran off. and succeeded In getting. some flre miles away before being overtaken. Jl was placed la Jail at A Case of Cholera la Springfield. Mass. From the Springfield Republican, June 25. A case of Asiatic cholera has appeared in this city, tbe subject being Joshua A. Gardner, a carver, who Is an old resident here, and now lives on the Cbicooee road, above Bancroft street. He bad suffered from diarrhoea for two or three weeks, and soon after noon on Satur day experienced all the symptoms of cholera, Including cold and cramped extremities, rice water discharges, contracted features, and ex treme prostration. He had nearly approached the condition of collapse, beyond which there is no relief, when medical aid arrived, and his llfo was saved. He is now considered entirely out of danger. There is no occasion for a cholera "scare," but this case ought to act as a reminder that the scourge is liable to visit us, and that every precaution should be taken to guard against it. The town brook runs quite near Mr. Gardner's house, and if It Is as filthy at the north as at the south end, His no wonder that the cholera has appeared there. THE POLITICAL WORLD. The Republicans of Pennsylvania. The Republican State Convention which met at Wllllarosport this week has given full proof that the party In Pennsylvania has not for saken those principles wbloh governed Its ao tion from 1800 to the end of the war. Pennsyl vania Is thoroughly radical, and her radicalism means over 800,000 men sent to the war, and the utter defeat of CopperheadlBtn at every general election. Hut Republicanism -radicalism has of late a new definition. We have been told tbat it means hanging, bloodshed, revenge, and confiscation. A few gentlemen in Congress and out of It have made new Issues, and inform us that a new creed will be supported by tbe people. We don't believe this, and Pennsyl vania bus strengtbened our Incredulity. Tbe State Convention met to nominate a Judge of tbe Supreme Court, and the Hon. Henry W. Williams, of Allegheny. Is a candi date who deserves election, and will honor the position. But the resolutions which It unani mously adopted make tbe issue one of princi ples, and we take its admirable platform as a definition of Pennsylvania Republicanism. Let ns see what it declares. First, that the South most give such ausrantees as will make treason impossible hereafter; second, tbat John son's administration has been faltnless, because n refuses to tlx In tbe organic law the great principles which the war has settled; third, tbat tbe laws shall not be construed to palliate tbe guilt of treason; fourth, tbat the Heconstruotion laws are Just, and that Congress should meet and decisively defeat the nullification Intended by Mr. Stan bery's opinion; fifth, that Sheridan and Sickles should be sustained by the country, and tbat they deserve the support of General Grant; sixth, that the President's determination to compel the release of Davis, by delaying bis trial, was an insult to tbe natural course of Justice; seventh, tbat protection to American labor should be secured by legislation. These are tbe mala resolutions adopted, and this is the radicalism of Penn sylvania. Not one word is said of hanging men who have surrendered, not one word of tbe confiscation of property; and, while we regret that tbe resolution for impartial suffrage was referred to a committee, we cannot too em phatically indorse tbe moderation and Justice of tbe platform. The radicalism of Pennsyl vania is as absolute and uncompromising as ever, and It is tbe nobler and the more de serving of the people's trust tbat It has not been wedded to tbe spirit of revenge and bitter ness. We take it for granted that the great object of tbe Republican party Is the reconstruc tion of tbe Union, and Pennsylvania Is on the right way to effect It, iV. Y. Tribune to day. , Jesse D. Bright Accepts. The Democrats of the counties of Carroll and Trimble, in Kentucky, recently nominated Jesse I. Bright for the Btate Legislature, and tbe Committee of tbe Convention appointed to notify him of tbe fact did ho in a letter, In which tbey expressed their "earnest solicitude that he would find it convenient to accept, and go forth, as In days of yore, battling for tbe great principles of constitutional liberty,again8t tbe myrmidons of a corrupt and tyrannical faction, whose object is tbe overthrow of civil and religious liberty in this country." To this Mr. Bright replies that he should have preferred tbat tbe nomination should be given to one better acquainted with tbe wants of tbe people and more capable of taking charge of their interests than he could claim to be. but tbat there were reasons wby he did not feel at liberty to decline this tin solicited and, as he regarded it, marked confidence and friendship of tbe people. He continues: If tbey believe that my poor services can be made to contribute in any way to the re-establishment of this Government as It was before passing through tbe unnatural war which has ended In the prostration of everything like "constitutional liberty regulated by law," they have a right to demand them, and it is my duty to obey. l accept tne pronerea nonor (tor nonor J. snau esteem it) to represent a body of voters wno, throughout a struggle tnat involved an tuat was valuable to an American citizen, stood firmly by the faith of their fathers, and an nounced through the ballot-box, on all proper occasions, in tbe face even of military despot ism, that iney aare vote ineir sentiments, in such a community I have taken np my abode, and with tbem I propose a common destiny. Thanking you for the terms In wbloh you have been pleased to communicate the result of your Convention, I oiler you and those you represent Assurances of tbe high regard of yours, faith fully, - J. D. Bright. 1 Registration In Louisiana.

PESTILENCE AT NEW ORLEANS. The Government Inform atlon Denying the Presence of Yellow Fever Incorrect Three Undoubted Oases of Both Cho lera and the Fever Reported. Nw Orleans, June 27. The Herald pub lished a special telegram on Monday, announc ing the appearance of yellow fever in this elty, which resulted in the following being sent here by l be Associated Press: "Svasuisioton, June 26 Collector Kellogg, of New Or.eaus. telegraphs lo the bevreiary of the Truaeury, denying the report tbut the yellow lever hat appeared there. The facts sustain the Tlerald. and prove the Government information to be inoorreot, three oasea having occurred within tbe last two weeks. A man In tbe Charity Hospital died of the black vomit first, and was reported as an undoubted ease of yellow fever to the Board of Uealtb by Dr. Lewis, the visiting physician, who saw tbe patient. Notwithstanding the report of Dr. Lewis, tbe Board reported the case as one of intermittent fever. At the meeting of tbe Board on Tuesday, the 25th, Dr. Smith, the President, reported two un doubted oases, one of the patients recovering, the other, Henry GeUon, of New York, dying of black vomit on Bunday. The origin of these cases la unknown. No additional canes have been reported for the past week, but three addi tional cases of cholera have been reported. Two of the patients have since recovered.

Mr. Wade Denies Being an Agrarian or Wishing an Kqnal Distribution of Property Ills Sentiments on the Labor Question. Ciucinnatt. June 27. Tbe Cincinnati Oom merciril publishes In to-day's issue a letter from one of Its attaches whom it sent to visit Ben Wade at his home In Jeflorson, Ashtabula county, Ohio. Mr. wade Is reported as saying, relative to the account In tbe New York Timet of his Kansas speech : " That la a very garbled account, and t he editor purposely misunderstands me. Why, sir. If rou would make an equltnble distribu tion of all tbe property In the United States to day among the people, In five years It would again be in tbe hands of a few men, Buch a measure would not be Just, nor would It be of any practicable advantage to the poor people If done. The editors and correspondents who bave been writing about my speech know very well I am not In favor of such a foolish thing as the distribu tion of property, or of disturbing in anyway property rlRbts." About tbe Presidency he aalo, "Siiy dear sir, I do not seek that olllce. I never Bought any office, and never will. I bave served the people only because they wished me lo, and not of my own choosing. It is thirty yeais since I began public life; I am an old man, aa you see, and need rest." On the labor ques tion be remarked, "That system ot labor which degrades the poor man and elevates the rich, wbloh makes tbe rich richer, and the poor poorer, which drags the very soul out of the poor roan tor a pitiful existence, is wrong. We must elevate the laborer, and give him a share In the proceeds of his labor. Tbe man who suc cessfully solves tbat problem will do more for the world than any man tbat baa lived In It since the days of Christ. I believe, however, that tbe shadow of the great struggle la upon us, and we must meet It, There la deep discontent among tbe masses, and tbey will shortly de mand tbat their condition be made more com fortable, both in this country and In England, i JilCI. IB O CBUOOBUCflll, m 10, V. UU MUIWIUUU It, w discontentedness with tbeir lot among the poor classes tbat we cannot disregard. The people want more recreation more enjoyment. They are casting abont for relief from their monoto nous and half-starved condition, and tbey will have it. Mr. Greeley Is a wise man. He has done some very foolish things, but he perhaps has more knowledge on all subjects than any man in this country. I think well of his plan, and the Idea of co-operation, if carried out among tbe working classes, will do much to ameliorate their condition." Mr. Wade then went on to show how In Cincinnati, New York, Boston, and other placesjworklngmen had combined, started manufactories, and were doing well. OBITUARY. The Hon. Charles Dentson The Hon. Charles Denison, member of Con gress from the Twelfth District f Lucerne and busquehanna counties) of Pennsylvania, died at Wllkesbarre yesterday.

Peek, Minister Resldentand Consul General of the United Htatea In Haytl, which occurred at Port-au-Prince on the 9th of June. Mr. Peck was a native of Rochester, New York. After stvdylng theology, he entered the Congregate nal ministry. Some years later he waa appointed Professor at Oberlln College, Ohio. Mr. Peck became early known as an ar dent champion of the anti-slavery cause, aud in 1856 he took an active part In tbe Presidential campaign. He exercised a great political Influence In his own and the adjoining Slates, bnt waa never known to seek any otliee. In 1862, bis health being greatly Impaired, be accepted from Mr. Lincoln the position of Com missioner to Hayti. hoping thus both to im prove his health and to have an opportunity to continue his efforts in behalf of tbe negro raoe. In 1865 be received the appointment of Minis ter Resident near the same Government. Connecticut Divorce Law. The Joint Select Committee on Dlvoree has reported to the Connecticut Legislature a bill wbicb was tabled for printing. The bill pro vides: First. No divorce shall be granted upon a separate application unless good character and residence In tbe State shall be proved by two good witnesses. Second. Tbe hearing and trial of all divorce cases shall be held in open court at the regular court room. Third.

In the Cir cuit Court of this county to-day, Judge Goldlb waite, presiding, delivered an elaborate opinion on tbe applications of Cbarles A. Mott and Rufus S. Andrews, citizens of New York, based upon petitions and affidavits, praying for tbe transfer of tbe case of Klmore and others, at torneys of Montgomery, and two other cases against tbem and Richard Busteed, from tbe State Circuit Court to the United Stales Circuit Court petitioners affirming that from local pre judice and public opinion they could not get justice from tbe first-named tribunal. These cases embrace the proceedings against Judge Busteed for alleged abuse of tbe ollioe ol Judge and other charges. Tne motions were denied. Counsel for petitioners took an appeal to tbe Stale Supreme Court, now In session. Tbe several acts of Congress upon which the applications are based bave not yet been Judi cially construed by the United States Supreme Court. If the State Supreme Court affirms the opinion of JudgeGoldthwalte, it is probable tbe Supreme Court of tue United States will be called on for a oouatrui'tton of these acts. Pcplio Works in London .

CON- Renomlnatlon of Governor Chamberlain -Speeches of ex-Governor Cony and ex-Vlce-Presldent Hamlin on Preel- dentlal Usurpation and Obstruction of the Uvi. Augusta, Me., June 27. Delegates of tbe Re publican party lrom all sections of the State of Maine assembled bere In Granite Hall to-day, and nominated Governor Chamberlain as the candidate to be supported at the ensuing elec tion. Ex-OovernorRamnel Cony presided over the Con venilon, and uisue a brlt-f speecb. Upon taking the chair, having returned tbauics for being elected as presiding olllcer.be continued a follows; We iuwni ble bere to-day, tbe rvprenentatives of a powerful party, composed of Individuals wbo, prior to Its formation, had been the members ot all the various parlies lillberto existing In the State, but, prompted by love of country aud tbe Imminently fear ful peril with which It wrs threatened by traitors, casting to tbe winds tbeoberlshed prejudices and minor U I lie rentes of old times, tbey enrae to gether to protect and defend tbe nation. While the necessity continues, ibis party, adhering to tne prin ciples opon which it was founded, will maintain III existence and power against all comers. We bave no lifw principles to declare, no change of policy lo announce, uo new Issue to make, no step backward to take. The President, In making Issue with tbe Fortieth Congress, In his veto of the Keoonstructlou bill, argued at length against Its provisions, among other things, more especially, bec ause of the bantewtlu which powers were conferred upon the military com manders. This veto, It was understood, with hut per haps a single exception, received the sanction ot bis Cabinet. ISow w have an opinion of one ot his con curring ministers tbe Attorney-General which ut terly emasculates the law,nullitles iheohji-ction-.; f the Prepldentjand siultltles Ihewnole administration. Ho far the President may be disposed to go lubetting aside a law of Cougresa it is not necessary to Inquire. The remedy Is at hand. The nation bas received a timely warning, and Congrees, composed of the Immediate representatives or Hie States and tbe people, the guar dians of their liberties, will in a few days awemble aud tee to It tbat tbe republlo receives no detrlmeut from Presidential perversity or traitorous and disloyal Intrigues. This Convention, I doubt not, will bestow lt commendation upon the able and faithful Senators and Representative of Maine In Congrens, and give expression to its conlldenoe In their fidelity and vigi lance In every varying phase or tne struggle la which we are engaged. x-Vlce-Prtsident Hamlin, who was a delegate from Bangor, responded to loud calls for a speech. Having advocated eq..al rights at some lengtn, be said be supposed It was a loregooe conclusion that the representatives of this people are to meet on the Fourth of July, at Washlugtoni and they will pass a law so clear and so plain that equality of rights can not be falsely construed or emasculated. The country ewes' a debt ot gratitude to the Congress of the United Mates. Tbey bave proved the salvation of the country, aud be was one of those wailing with anxious eyes and beating heart, to see what they will do. He believed that "treason Is a crime so odious that it ought to be punished." Those who neutralize laws shoul J answer the penalty of that crime. Persons who usurped power should be Impeached aud removed from olHce. There Is something In tbe atmosphere that makes bold men timid and timid men no men at all. Ue bad read lu no history where a republlo had lost ita liberty by tbe usurpation of the legislative power: but such liberty bad been lost, step by step, through tbeeaoroachments ot tbeKxecutlvepower. He would not make any speci fications. They are as thick aa autumnal leaves. There Is an onligailon upon those In power to see that Justice la meted out alike to all men. The resistance of Con gress to the usurpations and encroach nieu is ot exe cutive power demauds our unqualified approbation and thanks. The question to-day Is whether we are educated up to tbe right standard. Tbe acta of Presi dent Johnson bave served to educate and settle tbe country upon a right basis, and to teach us tbe duties which we o'ht to discbarge: not, as fclecre tary Seward said u Boston tne other day, that we have on ly to acquiesce in President Johnson's declarations that everything would go on as "merry as a marriage bull," but that the Govern ment Is lo the people. He bad come to the conclu sion tbat everything bas been wisely ordered, and be wished to compliment the Congressional delegation from Maine for the stand they had taken as a body against tbe President, and trusted tbat future delega tions would be as deserving of confidence aa the pre sent. 'j be following resolutloss were adopted: First Declares tbat permanent peace cannot be secured but by a firm adherence to the selt-evideut Irotb that all mea are oreted equal. Second Tbat political power oelng the Inherent rlghtof the people, Impartial suffrage should be the uniform law of all the Stales, secured either by pre sent authority of Congress or amendment to the Con stitution. Third Endorses the recent legislation of Congress regarding the restoration of the Rebel State. fourth Recognizes a lasting debt of gratitude to tbe army and navy for their gallantry In deteadlug our liberties, and pledges our sympathy and support to the widows ard orphans of ths dead. Ulth Approves and endorses General Bherldan,' and pledges to him aud other Military Commanders In the South the unwavering support of tne Union men of Maine to secure loyal and constitutional Gov ernments In those States. Sixth Advises tbe Immediate funding of the na tional debt at tbe lowest practicable Interest, and keeping inviolate all pledges of national talth. Sixth Tbat taxation on national bonds and stocks should be adjusted by Congress on constitutional prin ciples of equality, and whatever municipal taxation Is Imposed on the stock of national banks should go to the towns where the stock Is owned. A Madman is a Railway Train. The Salut Public describes a fearful scene which took place a few days ago between the stations of Blaisy and Dijon, in a third-class carriage of a train on its way from Paris to Lyons. Among the passengers were three foreigners, supposed to be natives of Flanders, who had been conversing in their own language daring the earlier part of the journey. .About 11 at night the majority of the travellers were dozing, when suddenly the silence was broken by one of the strangers, who, waking up in a state of raving madness, broke into the moat horrible cries, and, falling upon his fellow passengers, commenced striking and biting them right and left. A panic ensued, in which the travellers climbed over the partition into the adjoining compartment, followed by the madman, still striking and biting those he could reach. Some persons, in their terror, opened the door and took refuge on the ledge outside, although the train was going at full speed. At length a Zonave closed with the lnnatio, and succeeded in pushing him oat of the door. Demolition op tbb Luxbmbodro Fortifica tions. - The Prussians are very busy at Luxembourg packing up all the guns and artil lery stores in the fortress, the quantity of which is so great that it will require a couple of months to get throngh the work. There are a great many ancient gnns among the mili tary lumber, some of which are valuable as curiosities, but as nothing else. The Luxem burgers lamont bitterly the loss of the garri son, which is not very unnatural, as it has been calculated that the Prussians spent one hundred and ninety thousand pounds a year among the townspeople. As some little com pensation, the King Grand Duke has offered to make the town a present of the buildings pre viously employed for military purposes, as also of the ground gained by the destruction of the fortifications. As this donation is not valid without the assent of the Chamber, the latter was to meet on the 20th instant to confirm the act. Nsw Way of Pbebebvino Milk. Qay-Lussao has proved that milk kept from the air is pre served for a long time perfeotly good. Profit ing by this experience, says the London Me chanics Magazine, Mr. Mabrun warms milk in a moderate temperature in a tin vessel, fur nished with a tube of lead, to expel the air; then the tube is compressed, and the orifloe is closed with solder. When the milk is used at the end of several months, it will be found desirable to stir up with it the cream which Is formed on the upper part of the liquid. M. Mabrun, having laid this process before ths Academy of Sciences for their examination, the Committee report that milk thus preserved after six months still possesses all the pro- Srties of fresh milk.
