CONFESSED.
A .llnrderrr'a Ktniement or n Horrible Crime.
Writes a correspondent to the New York Times,
fj cm Spring Valley, New York : I
q'he innrdcr of Joachim Fuertcr, near the station
In this village In March last, lias been a proline
source of anxious conjecture am) surmises since
tlio first discovery of that crime.. The Coroner's In
quest, with the arrest, of Atitolne Maurer, ami the
recovery of the murdered man's eilccts, rather In
creased and aggravated, Instead of allaying,
the universal excitement, and now that the
assassin hits received his ini partial trial
and has heard his sentence to lie hanged by the
neck for his crime the people are even yet nn
Biitlslled with their knowledge of I lie circumstances
that attended the perpetration of the deed. Maurer
was consigned to his cell In the County Jail at New
City, preserving still the coof lndlil'erenee and
innking positive denial of guilt a denial that w.is as
circumstantial and clear ai the proofs against hlra
were direct and conclusive. Gradually lie has ad
mitted lact after fact, until last evening he made a
cotilcsslon reciting the entire story.
When the sentence was pronounced, Maurer ex
hibited as little emotion as tie had during the trial,'
but as the days wore on he became more and more
alfccted, and'he began gradually to let the story out.
Last evening one of the Deputy Sheriffs visited hts
cell when, in answer to inquiries, Maurer gave the
following statement:
"I heard a loud voice last night (Oct. 2S) telling
me that 1 must own up. I don't want to he left
alone again till I tell somebody the truth. I did kill
Mierter, and 1 am very Borry lor It. Hut I had help.
1 will not tell who helped me. Wo went to Kraus.-T
house and struck Fuerter's window with a pole, lie
came to the window, and we told hl.u if he would
comedown we would give him some money the
money that I owed him. Pretty soon lie came down,
ami we walked oil' together. We sal down in a little
while, about 12 o'clock, and my friend had a bottle of
whisky. We each of us drank from It, and Fuerter got
pretty drunk. Tuen my friend and 1 led him t)
waids the woods, and 1 struck him with a stave that
1 carried In my hand. We took oil' his clothes and
got some water and washed him. Then we put
some clean clothes on hi in and carried him out into
the Held. Wo took what we supposed was all the
nionev he had. We killed him to get. his money, for
we were both very hard up. My friend took the
money, twenty francs, and 1 took the clothes, which
1 afterwards pawnod. We then washed ourselves
HJid went away."
The refusal of Maurer to tell who helped him do
the deed seems to be Impossible to overcome, but a
clue is said to be possessed which there Is every
reason to hope will end in the arrest of his co-murderer.
To-day oillcers from our county arc In New
Y'ork, where the guilty man Is supposed to be, hunt
ing on the trail which they think they have obtained.
I have thus given you the Urst and last of one of
those deep tragedies such as Uermaus and French
men such as Maurer for he has the blood of both
nations in his veins had, until recently, almost the
monopoly. Hard, almost unconscious villainy such
as this man has shown lu his crime and in his persis
tent denial or it, has but few parallels in the history
of murder here, but they have their counterpart I
might say their highest exemplification in the tra
gedy that now excites France. To compare Maurer
with Traupraann would be a study Interesting to the
student of the worst phase of mankind, and to some
of them it may yet furnish a theme. There is, if the
supposition of Traupmann's guilt be correct, the
same cool, well-devised, and well-matured plan, the
same tlendishness in the commission of the crime,
the same end In view which was the prospect of
gain alone. The oversights by which they were both
detected were similar, and are indeed characteristic
of every grade and character of assassin.
HILDEBRAND.
The Notorious IHInnourl Oinlnw Huen Tor Peace
An Authentic Nkelch of Ills Career.
The St. Louis Democrat of the 27th lust, contains
the following relative to the greatest of Western
desperadoes :
A letter was received in this city a day or two ago
from Sam. Hildebrand, the notorious outlaw,
stating that he-had come to the conclusion that he
could no longer keep up a war against the whole
country, and begging to be "let alone." lie promises
that he will never more molest anybody, and will in
future act like an honet and peaceable man.
This letter is in the hands of some of the friends of
Hildebrand gentlemen who served In the Confede
rate armv, and will no doubt be published. An effort
is also being made to raise a subscription for the
outlaw, to set him up in his new home. We are not
prepared to say whether Governor MoClurg, Colonel
Jlowen, and the people of St. Francois county are
willing to allow the outlaw to pass the remainder of
his days in peace, or whether he will be followed to
his new abode and brought to justice.
Last night we met with Judge Sebastian, of Farm
Ington, who has known Hildebrand for many years.
The Judge gave us a short sketch of the career of
this most daring and desperate outlaw of modern
times, and as it is doubtless strictly true, we publish
some of the facts.
Hildebrand is an illiterate backwoodsman, unable
to read or write, and the letter in circulation here
must have been written by somebody else. At the
breaking out of the Rebellion Hildebrand went to
Arkansas and joined the hall-civilized band of Jetr.
Thompson. He made a business of stealing and
running oil' horses, and Jetl' was strongly Inclined to
hong him, if he could have caught him. Finding
. that the rude soldiery of the "Swamp Fox" were
d sposi d to punish him for his misdeeds, Hildebrand
lei I the army and came up into southeast Missouri
as a bushwhacker.
He continued to steal horses from the farmers,
and made no distinction between the property of
friends and foes. He shot his partner in the bush
whacking business, and the German troops In the
county iinlshed the man soon afterwards. Hilde
brand also killed Rowan, and Kowau's son, in retali
ation, killed Hildebrand's brother. Hildebrand killed
an old man named Ringer, and shot young Mcllva ne
while he was at work in his tield. How many men
he killed is not known, but his last victim was Mc
clain, whom he shot only a few mouths ago.
A good deal of sympathy has been excited In bp
half of Hildebrand by stories of his wrongs the
burning of his mother's house, the killing of his
brothers, and the persecution of his whole family ;
but Judge Sebastian assures us that Sam was the
fljst aggressor, and was never Ill-used before he
committed depredations upon ethers.
About two weeks ago Hildebrand went to Farra
lngton, at night, and removed his wife and six chil
dren. He crossed the Mississippi at Rush Tower, in
skill's, and la now in Southern Illinois. Mrs. Hilde
brand had an Interview with Judge Sebastian just
before the removal, and she assured him that her
husband would never more molest auy one, as he
was tired of being constantly pursued and In danger
of his life. A few weeks ago Hildebraud came one
Iiight to the store of Judge Sebastian, in Farming
ton, and made the Judge walk backwards latg a Hide,
room, keeping his eye steadily Axed noon him.
He had four revolvers in his belt, lie wanted two
canisters of gunpowder, having obtained three at
another store; but the Judge did not have the
article needed. Hildebraud expressed his desire to
Hbamlon his mode of life, and live at peace with the
world. When asked why he acted so badly, he re
plied that he had commenced, and had thought he
ought to tight it out.
It is to be hoped that the Southeast is permanently
rid of the most audacious outlaw that ever preyed
upon a community, and that we shall hear no more
el Sain Hildebrand.
COWHIDED.
Public Cnntiunllou of a New Yorlt "rimes"
Correspondent ,
Journalists have no immunity rrom the Ills or
every sort Unit befall humanity, as the following
despatch to the New York Jlepublin will testify:
W AXHiNii'i'OS, Oct. 2i. Loren.o Littleton Crounse,
the chief of the New York Time Ilureau of Corres
pondence In this city, was publicly cowhided this
morning in front of his olllce on Fourteenth street,
opposite Willord's, by Henry Marston, Ksq., of New
York city, late Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
In the Sixth New York district. The castigatlon
was laid on without any reservation whatever, and
the atlair is the talk of the capital. ...
The ott'ense was most heinous, being nothing less
than a vindictive assault in the columns of the Time
of the 23d of last August, In a letter from 8aratoga,
written by Crounse, aud signed "Cymon,"ln tlio
course of which -a coarse, unprovoked, aud grossly
urigentlemsnly series of references were made to
the wire or the gentleman who to-day cowhided the
correspondent, , , .
The lady was referred to in patticular and unmis
takable terms as ".niiuiijiiia uuu n a luuujcno,
such assertions being a wanton blunder on oue of

women whom New York has ever contributed to
the society or the nation. Mr. Marston, at the time
of tins letter, secured Mr. lilgtiow's promise to dis
miss the correspondent of the Time. That not
having been done, Mr. Marston took the vindication
Into his own bauds, and coming on from New York
last night, vigorously lashed the shoulders and face
ol the oiionder with a new cowhide to-day.
Crounso and Mr. Marston tire Just equal In size, and
thcro is no disparity except in spunk, Crounse prov
ing a bad defendant. The objectionable letter was
the latest of a s rles of newspaper attacks, without
provocation, which have been written against Mrs.
Marston for two years past, and now the just retalia
tions arc setting in apace. There maybe more of
this sort of thing to do; if so, It will be done, Crounse
is the companion and putfer of Doorkeeper Dent,
atidamanwho has done many things unworthy of
true journalism. At present he suiters too much to
enlarge on his dlscomliture. Vote for Horace
l i re e ley.
DISASTER.
Four IVi-noiin Ituriirdio Heath In Nov York.
From, the i. 1. Tribune of thiit morning.
shortly alter 7 I. M. yesterday a Ore broke out In
the building No. 03 Liberty street, occupied by the
Patcrnon Iron Company and A. S. Raymond, prin
ter, the latter occupying the second floor, and the
former the llrst. 'I lie third floor was vacant, and
the fourth was occupied In part by the Janitor and
his imnilv. The firemen reached the spot within
a few moments of the iirst alarm, and In a
short time subdued the flames, which did
not accomplish any great amount of damage,
although the water destroyed considerable
'property, and somewhat injured the building. When
the building was Inspected after the fire, a inoHVtior
rible siw hi greeted the cyesof the firemen. In a
room on the lourth lloor. whose door had to be
broken open, they found the bodies of a man and
woman and two small children, all horribly iiurned
and charred. The woman and children lay In one
corner ol the room, Joined together in a cldse em
brace, while the man lay a few feet from the door.
It Is supposed, from the fact that the door was
licked on the Inside, that the man, who was the
janitor ol the building, hearing the alarm of lire, and
seeing the llremen about to enter the house, retired
to his apartment for the purpose of preparing for
tllght, ami locked tho door to guard against intru
sion. He was seen on the street a few mo
ments bcrore the lire, with a bunch of
keys lu his hand, and had probably just finished
locking up the building for the night. The other
victims were his wife and children. It Is supposed
that the smoke had sultoeated them before the
flames reached them. The family were well known
In the neighborhood, by sight; but, strange to say, no
one could be found who knew their names. The
bodies were removed to the Second Precinct station-
house, where they were viewed by Coroner Flynn.
The building Is owned by Frederick Marquand of No.
4a Wall street, but as this gentleman was absent
from the city, his brother, Mr. Henry Marquand, was
telegraphed for by Captain He Camp, that the name
of the victims might be ascertained If possible.
The children, a boy and girl, were respec
tively six and twelve years of age, but
he parents were so charred and
disfigured us to render an estimate of their ages aa
utter Impossibility. While the bodies lay at the station-house
many persons, led thither by a curiosity
more revolting than that, which leads men to execu
tions and prize lights, applied for permission to view
them, but (apt a in De Camp very properly refused to
grant their request. As the building is located lu a
business locality, which is deserted after dark by all
save janitors, it was very ditllcult to collect any In
formation relative to the sad atlair. It was thought
that tne lire originated in Mr. Raymond's printing
office, although or this there is no proof. The Coro
ner's inquest, which will be held to-day, will probably
develop the lull facts.
EXPOSED.
Thw Trick of a Spiritual .Medium.
From the S. Y. 1 imes of this morning.
Last evening, at the Kverett Rooms, Dr. W. T. Von
Vleck gave au exiose of the manner In which so
called i-pii'itual mediums perform the tricks by which
they deceive the public Into the belief that they, the
mediums, are In actual communion with spirits.
After showing that he could produce the mysteri
ous rappings of the Fox girls, which he explained
was done by contraction of the muscles, Dr. Van
Vleck entered a cabinet like that used by the Daven
ports, and, after having his hands bouud securely,
as it appeared, behind him, to a staple In the cabi
net, he plaved on musical instruments, drank a glass
of water placed on his lap, tied and untied a strip of
cloth placed round his neck, and finally cut himself
loose from his bonds. A number of other tricks of a
similar churaeter were performed without a single
failure, and lu quite as good style as the Daven
ports periorm theirs.
Dr. van Vleck's explanations of the modus oierandi
of these manifestations It would be Impossible to
give without practical Illustrations. It must suffice
to say that the doctor showed that sometimes by
slipping his hands through the cords, and sometimes
by slipping the cords up nis arms, he was enabled to
get his hands free, and that very few knots, however
secure they may appear, are really so. As proof of
this, knots made with great care by persons in the
audience were slipped by Dr. Van Vleck with per
fect ease.
To-night the doctor will explain, at the Everett
Rooms, in Hroadway, the manner in which the cele
brated medium, Foster, performs his deceptions.
All who have any lingering belief in spiritualism, so
called, si '.on Id go.
ALASKA. INDIANS.
The Want of Schools.
From the Alasca Times, Oct. 18.
AnatooU and other head men of the Sitka tribe of
Indians had an Interview with Vincent Colyer, the
I'nited States Indian Commissioner, at the head
quarters ol the commanding General of the Depart
ment of Alaska on Tuesday last. General Davis,
Colonel Brady, Dr. Bailey, and Captain Mclntyre,
of the array, and Madame the widow of MichaloiV,
iHt chief of the Sitkas. were present, Messrs.
David Shirpser, Sukon, aud William Phillips acted
as interpreters. The object of the meeting was to
ascertain if -the Indians would care to have schools
established among tnem; a sanitary supervision
exercised over their village; and an hospital and
medical attendance provided for them. To alt
of these proposals the Sitkas gratefully as
sentcd, promising to uss their best endeavors
to secure the attendance of their children and un
employed grown people at schools, and to find help
to aid the Sanitary Superintendent lu his efforts to
cleanse ana improve tneir village, xney consented
also to a grant of land on the hill-top for the erec
tion of a new market for their benefit and the
people's convenience, and agreed to remove such of
their dead as might be in the way of the new en
terprise, wnen tne question was asKeu ir tney
wlhhed for a freer trailio in whisky for their tribe,
they said most emphatically that they did not, and
gave that as the cause of a riotous dlstubauce lu
their village ine nignc neiore. -i ne interview was a
most agreeable one, and "pot latching" or entertain
ment was resorted to. They are very intelligent
Indians, and Mr. Colyer says, "quite equal to anv
that he has seen in his extended tours in the Indian
countries of ihe United States."

From the Providence Journal, Oct. 29.
We some time since referred to tho victory won
at Cherbourg by a crew of tiie United States steam
frigate Sabine, undor Lieutenant Commander Bart
lett, ot Providence. It seems that the fame of this
victory remains, ami that they may be regarded as
the champion oarsmen of the Tagus as well as or the
English Channel. While the frigate was at Lisbon
an oiler was made to row the twelve-oared barge
belonging to the Sabine with any boat belonging to
the British squadron then In the harbor there.
There were aiout sixteen of the finest Iron-clad

being a combination of the Mediterranean and

The Shanghae Krir Letter, Just at hand with other
China ami Japan Journals, received by way of San
Francisco, comments on the question of Chinese
emigration. "We are glad to see," it says, "by the
last Pacific mail papers, that In every part of the
United States the question of Chinese immigration
Is living earnestly discussed, and that our fellow
countrymen are already clearing their minds from
tbelr hazy notions of this empire.
"They see millions of industrious men, In whoso
hands is the key to the great problem of cheap labor
In America. WJth practical men decision soon fol
lows discussion, and wo may bo sure that the
Southern planters and the capitalists of the newly
opened West will not be long In supplying their
wants by organized Immigration rrom China. It is
rumored that the Pacitlc, Mall Steamship Company
will aid and encourage this new passenger trailio by
an early increase In their steam line. Supposing
them merely to employ their spare vessels, it would
be possible to have an extra steamer every mouth,
which would be sufficient for a short time. But the
labor demand In the United States is so multifarious
that It Must soon cause an 'advance along the whole
line' of China.
"The province of Kwangtung will continue to send
men suited for our mines and railroads, ami for
such other employments as demand u certain
amount or adventure and hardihood. Hut for the
Southern plantations, and for the grain fields of the
Northwest, it seems probable that the best laborers
will be found among the quiet and docile peasantry
who Inhabit theMower valleys of the Yangts.e aud
Iloanglio. The mountainous provlnco of Shantung
Is also known to contaiu a superfluous population,
unable t i subsist olf the soil, forbidden to delve
under It for mineral wealth ; many from there might
be Induced to emigrate to America, Instead of to
Manchuria, where the experiment of settling has
been tried with Indifferent success."
Intelligence has been received from Safnarlnda of
a shocking murder committed on the istli of August
on board the British barque. Jane, Captain s. Rich,
ardson. A cabin boy on board, who had be;m de
tected in tho theft of some gold ornaments belong
ing to Mr. Carleton, a passenger on board, laid In
wait about 7 P. M., armed with an axe, with which
he struck Mr. Abel, the chief mate, on the head, in
dicting a very severe wound. Mr. Abel tell stunned,
and while he was down the boy struck him a second
blow on the left thigh, making a gash nearly a foot
In length.
Mr. Carleton, hearing the nolso, went to see what
was the matter, and as he stepped over the outside
doorway ol the cabin, he was struck by the boy on
the left breast, dividing the breast bone, three of the
upper ribs, and severing the heart. The murderer
escaped to the shore, where he was captured by the
j it; ten authorities, wno nave commenced an inquiry
Into the affair, but he is now on his way to Hong
Kong for trial. The murdered man was an Ameri
can, well known and respected In Hong Kong.
From Swntow the Ganges reported that on tho

MTHERSOX.
Ills Last Moments.
In a letter commending T. D. Jones' model for
the Mcl'herson monument, General William E.
strong, wno was inspector-General or Mcpherson's
corps, says:
now nanv times nave i seen mm on tne iieid or

suddenly throw his right hand (grasping his held

less than ten minutes before ho went down he
looked just like this. While memory lasts I can
never forget it. I was riding on his left, ami we
were going at a rapid pace. He checked his horse so
quickly that I shot by him, and wheeled my
horse about and rode buck and received his last
order. 1 was partially in front or him, and I
watched him keen.y aud closely as his eves swept
the ridge and gap between the Hues. The expres

A Chinese Translation.
In a recent work on China by the Rev. Mr.
Nevius, occur some amusing illustrations of transla
ting from Knglish into the Chinese jargon known as
pigeon English. The author says: "1 saw, before
leaving China, a translation into this dialect by an
KDgllshman. or the address familiar to most school
boys: 'My name is Norval;on the Grampian Hills
my fajher feeds his flocks, etc. ; a few sentences of
the beginning of which may bo given, by way of
illustration, as follows: 'My name b'long NorVal.
Tcp side Keh-lam-piau hill ine fader chow-chow he
sheep.' Hardly a word of the next sentence 'A
Irugal swain, whoso constant care U to Increase hU
stole' has an equivalent in this poverty-stricken
tongue, so a tree translation is made: 'Mv fader
very small heartce man too much likee dat pieuie

the population of Illinois and of Missouri hail
doubled, and that of Iowa had increased nearly four
fold. The railroad system had ell'eclcd those great

and west across the State, and others are antici

tier of counlit s, or which there are nine. The State
W fertile beyond compaiison. The crop of grain
raised is immense. Out of its million acres in the
State, 8,uUO,ioo were devoted to grain in 1SU7,
aud these produced N),Ooo,00O bushels of corn.
14,000,000 bushels of wheat, and IB.imiu.ikiii bushels of
oats. Only a portion of this was used lu the State,
the residue went to feed the hungry elsewhere. Tnls
grain must be transferred on the railroads, and

benpateh to the hvening Telegraph. i
"Nashville, Oct. 30. After a good deal of
discussion the Constitutional Convention bill j
was perfected yesterday, and passed to its third j
rending in the JIouso. It will pass In the Senate I
without any material alteration. It provides for
the election of one hundred delegates, to bo
voted for by nil male citizens over twenty-one
not convicted of any Infamous crime.
After the adoption of the new constitution it
w ill be submitted to tho people for their ratifica
tion or rejection. An amendment was olTcred
by radicals, confining tho action of the conven
tion to the repeal of the franchise law and tlio
removal of disabilities, but It was voted down by
a party vote. Tho second Saturday in December
has been set for the election of delegates, and
the first Monday in January for the meeting of
tho convention.
ICx-Preldent .Iolinon
was on the floor of the House again yesterday,
and remained for some time listening to the

Curionn Phenomena.
The rock in Mr. Flynt's granite quarrv at Monson,
Mass., has been playing curious freaks lately. Seve
ral weeks since, a sheet of rock one root thick and
lltty feet square lifted Itself into the air and broke
into pieces with a noise like that of cannon. The
explanation seems to be that the rock to that depth
hed been expanded by Ihe heat, and tho frequent
passage over It of loaded teams caused It to become
brittle, us does Iron or steel iiy long hammering, and
at last it had not tenacity enough to hold it lu Us
bed. Another remarkable phenomenon was where
the rock moved up hill of Itself while yet undetached
at one end. A strip of rock, 85t feet long by 6 reet
deep and 8 feet wide, was split by wedges from tho
main rock, anil Immediately it began to movo up
hill, being free at the upper end, though the inclina
tion was more than oue foot in twenty. This rock
moved one and one-half Inches, and another strip,
1M feet long, moved half au inch nearly all while
we were present. Amherst (Ha.) Stuient.

The Congregational Society of Milford, N. II., It
appears, are iu a singular dilemma. Having re
paired their church and raised their pastor's salary,
they set about providing their minister with a par
sonage. Contributions of fMiOj were made, au I a
house bought, the deed drawn up, and the money
ready to be paid, when it was found that the owner
could not give a deed satisfactory to the committee
of the society. The former deed, the Nashua Tele
graph Bays, was given in Know Nothing times, for
bidding the sale of the land to any foreigner, aud
also forbidding any foreigner to ever reside or build
upon it. As It is possible that the society m.iv at
some time desire a raster not "to the manor born,"
and as such a one would be precluded from residing
in the house In question, It is not likely that any
property will be purchased on such un'reiHona'ilo
terms.

The MInmIdnIiipI Rnr.
The New Orleans ITice Current is beginning to
despair or any permanent relief from the drawbacks
to commerce resulting from the shallowness of the
water at the Mississippi bars. Many projects have
been suggested, and some made to deepen the
waier, out ume siiusianiiai oeoeui lias Deen realized.
It is now proposed to use I lie Government, dredger
to tow vessels through the mud, as her ability to
clear it away has proved a failure. The vol
ume of water on the bars varies considerably,
there being a greater depth of water on theiu
whea the river is from twelve to fifteen feet below
high-water mark, than when at a high stage. In tho
former case the tides flow further in, and on their
return carry out large quantities of deposit, while
in the latter the bulk or the river water breaks the
rorceor the sea-tide right on the bars, and causes a
large deposit. The anxiety concerning the impedi
ments In approaching New Orleans is increasing as
the efforts of the rival (Jtilf city are developed to
make up by increased railroad facilities for the ad
vantage the former enjoys by her situation at the
mouth or the Mississippi.
