A Yonni Woman Literally Cut te Piece by a Jealous Lover Letter of the .Murderer. From the EJko (Nevada) Independent of a recent date we take the following fearful story: In tle long catalogue of crimes, hut few If any cases equal the one perpetrated In tliW town on last Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, In point of reck lessness, horror, and brutality. A young woman named Annie McMaous, but who was familiarly known here by the name of Dolly, who has been en paged as a waiter-girl in a saloon for some two mouths past, was ninst Inhumanly attacked, and dicadfully cut with a knife, RECEIVING SIXTY-KIVE WOUNDS, from the effects of which she died on Monday after noon. It appeals from her statements, and by let ters found among his effects, that the murderer s nnme is Bernard J. Cosgrove, and that te had fol lowed Dolly from San Francisco with the avowed Intention of murdering her. Cosgrove arrived In Elko pome ti n days ago, since which time he com pi lied Dolly to live with him, and most of the time kept her locked up In her nom, carrying the key In bis i oekct. on Saturday he received $40 from his mother in San Francisco, to enabie him to return home, which was accoin panted with an affectionate letter from one of his family. During that day and night he was oDgaged in gambling until he lost his monev.whcn he became morose and ugly, and Dually endeavored to steal money from the dlee-baard. G. M. Banks, a policeman, who happened to be on hand, took him away and escorted him up Fourth street towards his room. When about half way home the man thanked the officer and said he could find the place without dlillculty Banks sauntered round for a few moments, when he heard the cry op ''murder!" and piercing shrieks from the direction of the room occupied by the parties. He Immediately went to i he houHe, where he found the door locked, and was t. bilged to break it open. On entering the house ne lonnd THE WALLS AND BED BESPATTERED WITH BLOOD, and the murderer escaped. The inhuman wretch hd taken to the sagebrush, but his track had been watched, fcherltr Fitch and deputy and others were awakened, and started in pursuit. By the assistance f a dog that took his track the man was discovered, and in the assault npon him the dog was badly cut in the neck aud shoulder. The iaun was found Ivtng on the ground, apparently dead. In his hand Wfl" found a dagger, covered with lone, black hair und blood. The prisoner could not bo made to speak while being taken to prison, but was sulky and obstinate. FATAL TERMINATION. At 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the woman was Iniormed that It was Impossible for her to live, and If she bad any requests to make to do so. She di rected that a telegram be sent to her father, in Sail Pianclsco, and requested the attendance of a priest, Hi d that she might be burled respectably. Upon 1 elng questioned as to who cut her, and wny It was done, she replied, "Barney stabbed me, but I do not know what for." Her suffering was terrible, the breath oozing out ol four wounds at every respira tion, until Monday afternoon at 6 o clock, when her bi irit passed awuy. LETTER FOUND ON THE MURDERER. In the prisoner's pocket was found the following Icter addressed to Mrs. Ann Cosgrove, San Fran cisco: "I i.ko, June 4, 1S70.

The Corpse of the Poor te be Chapped ap la ibe Yale Medical Colleae The Bill which the Yale Profeeeors are Nmuitallnc Through the Legislature. From the Meriden Recorder. Our faithful correspondent In New naven sent ns for Saturday's dally a draft of the bill now before the Legislature which in effect, were it adopted, would revive the old "Boll Up Law." Some of our older readers will remember something about that law and the excitement which attended its enactment. Old residents of New Haven have not forgotten the mob that assembled to tear down the Medical Col lege, where, it was reported, the cellars were filled With dead bodies awaiting dissection. Possibly a similar scene may be enacted there should the bill now before the Legislature pass. The main provision or tne "Hon i p Law" was that on the death of any person whose Interment should be at the expense of the State, or of any town within the State, If no friends appear to claim the body and give It burial, the authorities might on application give it to the physicians for dissection. The law was a very odious one, particularly to the poor, ji was enacted ny me Democrats, and tne W bigs used it very effectively against the Democra cy, pledging themselves to repeal it when they ob tained tne power. -rne taw was enacted in iS3it, and bears the signature of Henry W. Edwards, as Governor, Ebenezer Stoddard, Lieutenant Governor, Samuel Ingham, Speaker of the House. The next year the Whigs were successful, electing Samuel A. Foot, of Cheshire, Governor, and, in accordance with tneir promises one or tneir nrst acts was to repeal the odious law. The law now proposed is quite as tniamous in its character as the old one, and the action of Its friends in trying to prevent tne people from knowing any thing abont the measure shows that they so regard it themselves. By It the body of any deceased per son whose friends are not neir enough to claim it within twenty-four hours belongs to the physicians if the authorities are willing to give it to them, and u the mends are seat enougn, out iaii to make de mand for the body, It can be gWen up for dissection. in many cases it wouia ue impossible lor tne friends of a deceased person to be notified of his death within twenty-four hours, to say nothing of their being able to reach tae Mate within that time, and they might arrive Just In time to have the "privi lege" of witnessing the last operation on the dissect ing table. It might, nowever, be a great "comrort for them to know that the humane law would allow them to receive the sacred portions of the body upon making pome aeinana on tne doctors. A Legislature which should enact such a law would be justly denounced by everybody who cares for the friendless, and thn law would be used against any political party that could have prevented its enactment and yet failed to prevent It. THE INFAMOUS BILL. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives, tn uenerai a ssemoiy convener. Section 1. It shall be lawful In cities for the Mayors thereof to deliver to the professors and teachers ia chartered medical colleges In this Slate, and for said professors and leHchers to receive, the remains or body of any deceased person, for the purposes of meolcwl and surgical study; provided, that said remains shall not have been regularly Interred, and shall not have been desired lor Interment, by any relat've or friend of said deceased person, within twenty-lour nours niter aeatn; provided aiso, mat the remains of no person, who may be known to have relatives or friends, shall be so delivered or received, without the consent of said relatives or irienas; ana provided, that tne remains or no person who shall have expressed a desire In his or her last sickness, that his or her body may be in terred, thall be delivered or received as aforesaid ; and provided a'so, that in case the remains of any person so delivered or received shall be subse quently claimed by any surviving relative or friend, they shall be given tip to said relative or friend for Interment. And It shall be the duty of the said pro fersors and teachers decently to bury tho remains of all oodles alter they shall have answered the pur poses of study aforesaid ; and for any neglect or vio lation of this provision of this act the party bo neglecting shall forfeit aud pay a penalty of not iesi than $25, nor more than (no. Section 2.

WAS IT A SUICIDE I Mutilated Human Itennln Found Hanging lo a Tree A Alan fciueu by I loss. The St. Louis Democrat of the SOU Instant says: A short llstance below Carondelet Is a tine tract of land known as the Allen place. The farm Is rented by a Mr. Wagner, who, with his family, occupy the place and cultivate the laud. On Friday evening Mr. Wagner told his son to search for a missing steer In the timber, and the boy, with two companions, started out to look for it. On reaching a point about three-quarters of a mile below the river J.'es Peres, and within a few yards of the track of the Iron Mountain Railroad, the boys saw a dark body among the trees, which they at 11 ret supposed to be the missing animal. On a closer approach, however, they fouud the body of a man hanging by a leather strap from the limb of a small tree, within twenty-five feet of the railroad track. The body only of the man remained, as the limbs haa been torn off at the thighs, and devoured by hogs. The man had apparently been hanging there for several months, and the skin and flesh on the hands, arms, aud face had dried and shrivelled under the tierce rajs of the sun until the corpse ap peared like an Egyptian mummy. The eyes, Hps. and tongue were gone, and the weight of the body upon the strap had burst the skin of the chin, and the jawbone was exposed to view. The LntestiLes were also gone, and the sight was altogether one of the most horrible that could be Imagined. The strap by which the body was sus pended had evidently been used by the deceased as a belt. No knot or noose was tied In it, but it had been buckled over the limb, and the Buiclde, if suicide it was, had deliberately thrust his head through the loop, and with his feet resting upon the ground had leaned forward upon the strap and choked himself to death. From the fact that two of the ribs, one on the right and one on the left side, were broken, a suspicion was aroused that the man might have been murdered and placed in that position to create a false impression that he had committed suicide. With tne exception of the two broken ribs, however, the other bones were found entire. It is possible that the man may have been accidentally injured and out of the reach of human assistance, may, In his agony, have used this method of terminating his sufferings. Be this as it may, nothing was found by which the mutilated remalDS could be identified, and the Coroner's jury, believing that the man had committed suicide, re turned a verdict In accordance with the suppo sition. REMARKABLE INSANITY. A Respectable Cltlzea after Yearn of Economy liecoinea a Heckle Mpeadthrllt. Considerable excitement, Bays the Pittsburg Com mercial of yesterday, was caused In the Seventeenth ward during the latter part of last week, by the re markable conduct of a man who had for years been one of the most temperate, respectable and econo nomical residents of that part of the city, and who, It Is stated, bad amassed a fortune of over $w,ooo. It appears that bis strange conduct was first noticed a lew days sgo, when be gave a free luuch at a tavern on Pike street to a large crowd, the ex pense being about $75. On Saturday he went tt Mitchell A Moreland's livery stable, and contracted for a splendid team for HTML He then hired four men to drive around with him, paying them $5 per day each. His next step was to engage a band of luublc for one week, at $25 per night, to serenade him every evening. . Ol Saturday be went to market and bought ITS worth of bouquets aud distributed them with a lavish hand along Psnn and Butler streets. He ais purchased seme six dozen bottles of wine, saying uai ue was going to give a graua ceieoraiioa. His conduct was so strange that it wa deemed best to have blm taken to Dlxmout, and he was re moved to that hospital yesterday. The unfortunate man had been for several years a sober and Indus- iMouscHueu. in explanation or his strauge con duct It Is Btated that noma six weeks ago two of bis cnnuren, oi wnom be was very fond, died.

The Enormous Sacrifices which the Red Men have made Tor the Hake of Peace Kobblnc the Indian to Korlrh the Land-Urabhera. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs have again had .the Cherokee treaty under discussion. The treaty of 1868 was objected to by Secretary Cox, and many amendments were agreed npon between blm and the Cherokee delegates now here. The amended treaty as agreed npon was sent in to the Senate as It was originally, accompanied by a recita tion Of what they have abandoned, as follows: tub govesnment of the united states to the Cherokee Nation, Dr. For lauds west of the 9tfth degree west lon gitude, and south of the 87th degree north latitude, and estimated by the In terior Department lu 1W53 to embrace about 2l,ouo,ouo acres, and lands lu Kan sas known as "Cherokee strip," and estimated by the Bald department In l6j to embrace about 768,000 acres 13,500,000 For reservations of lauds In the State of Arkansas (7680 acres), aud In the States of Alabama and Tennessee (100,000 acres), In all 107,080 acres (and referred to In the 13th article of our treaty of 1866) at f IH5 per acre 134,000 For misapplied funds due the Cherokee Nation under treaties between the some and the United States, aud ascertained to be due under the provisions of the S.'id article of the treaty of ISti between said Nation and the United States 1,200,000 Total amount f 4,834,600 Cr. Bv amount agreed to be paid by the United States 3,500,000 Balance due f 1,334,600 The Cherokees say: "By our treaty we not only surrender this balance of 11,334,600, but also the In crease In value of our binp' ol land In Kansas, which may be sarely calculated at 11,000,000, as we have been offered over this amouut for these lands thus making from these two items alone 12,334,600 which we lose. Also, we make by the treaty an enormous sacrifice lu our lands west of the 96ih de gree west longitude, and south of 37th degree; for, should It be decided that our nation ougat to lose all of its lauds west of loo degrees of west longitude, because your Government has failed to comply with its legal obligations in not issuing to our nation a patent to these lauds, ana should your Govern ment thuB take advantage of its own wrong toward us. then there would still be left us betweeu the lootn and yoth degree of west longitude about 9,216,000 acres of land, to which our nation has not merely an "Indian title," but absolutely the title in fee ol your Government, secured by patent, which, at the (iov eminent price oi s l.zo per acre, are wortn $1 i.MS.ooo. Deduct from this ihe 3,soo,0oo we agree to take ior tnese lauus, anu you gain on us me sum of tH,o'J5,000, which, added to the f 2,834,600 already rel erred to as given up, makes tne enormous aggre gate of f lo,369.600-saciiflced by the Cherokees for the sake or peace. Notwithstanding mis snowing, it is said me com mittee, on no other plea than economy, wish to amend the amended treaty by cutting it down a whole million or dollars. This tne cuerokees will not agree to, but will ask permission to resume con trol ol their lauds, rather than sacrifice them at the mere dictation of unseriwKiiis dowt. The Government does not netitate to give away to a single baud of corporators land enough to mike three States as large as New York ; yet It robs the Indians of their poor remnants on pretext of pur chase, agreeing to give about one-tenth value for them, but never pays that, lied Cloud's opinion of white men nas a uoiui lounaauon. ST. THOMAS. Formal Announcement te the People of the Failure of the Aaneaatlou HcUeuie Procla mation ! the DanUh Iilna.

Unexpected obstacles have arisen to the realiza tion of this idea and released ns from our pledged word.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, Juno 22. Commissioner De lano is in receipt of a communication from Supervisor Tutton, of the Eastern District of PenrjBylvania, dated Jane 21, in which he states that he is in receipt of a statement from Asses sor Williams, of the Fifteenth District of Penn sylvania, from which it appears that the assess ments and collections made in that district for the year ending April 30, 1809, amounted to t360, 017-03, and for the year ending April 30, 1870, $415,717-28, showing a gain in the latter year of $55,700 26, and while therj Wa3 this large increase of collections, there was a de crease In the expense of assessment of $2,23272. The Supervisor adds that in his opinion this is a most excellent showing for Mr. Williams' first yearns administration of the Assessor's Oillce. The Cuban Question. General Pickett, who has figured in connec tion with the Cuban cause and in Butler's Cuban bond investigation, is out in a card to-day, deny ing all the statements in the so-called affidavit of N. B. Taylor. He pronounces Taylor a first- class liar and swindler, and produces affidavits to show that Taylor is a man who cannot be believed even under oath. With regard to influ encing members of Congress, Pickett says of Taylor: "I forbade bis telling me how and through whom he was to bring abont a recognition of belligerent rignts, anu uiougn 01 ratner gusntng disposition he never did that. 1 cannot recall or mention names of more than two officials In connection with the sub ject. Neither nld he introduce the name of more than one member of Congress,a distinguished gentle men from Massachusetts, tbe Initials of whose name are tt njamin Franklin Butler. He said this gentle man naa onerea to put tne uuoan business through Congress for f300,ooo cash, and that if we didn't employ blm the other side would. 1 reDlled that mi opinion of General Butler's lofty and unspotted character and unimpeachable integrity was such that I was sure he (Taylor) was mistaken, and so aecnnea to negotiate." Important Decision. Commissioner Delano yesterday made the fol lowing decision: "In deference to the decision of some of the United States District Courts, the word gallon as used in that part of the act of April 10, 1869, defining wholesale and retail liquor dealers, shall hereafter be construed as meaning wine gallons, whether applied to dis tilled spirits, wine, or malt liquors. Therefore wholesale liquor dealers will be limited in their sales to quantities of not less than five wine gal lons, regardless of the proof of the spirits sold.' A Wise Provision. Despatch to the Associated Preet, The Secretary of the Treasury this morning issued an order stating that the recent loss of $20,000 afforded a fit opportunity to make and enforce a rule by which all persons not members of Congress or of the administration shall be excluded from the rooms in which money is re ceived, assorted or kept except on written per mission of tho Secretary of the Treasury. Chiefs 01 money divisions are directed to en force this rule. The Gulf Alall Route heretofore running from New Orleans via East ern Gulf and Key West to Havana will be re-let the 80th of June for our years. The Postmas ter-General has the discretion of accepting pro posals making either Mobile or New Orleans the initial point of the line. The Tobacco and Liquor Tax. Despatch to the Associated Press.

Tbe centenary meeting of the alumni aud friends of tbe college was called to order by President Pruyn at 8-46 P. M.

The college choir then diversified the financial cal culations with "Integer Vitie." Sheriff voorhees then resumed the proceedings by pledging the Six-Mile Run Church to the amount of $1000. General Sharp of '4T snggested that sufficient time bad not been allowed for the collection of subscrip tions, to wnicti Dr. uainpoeu repuea mat tne cen tennial celebration did not eud until next com mencement. Colonel Herbert of '51 stated that the class had one subscrliier on the books to the amount ol $5000, aud who had pledged the class for $10,000. The class of '63 reported the sum of f Too as raised, aud expected to make It $1000.

The entfre sum re ported during the day will not fall short of $1M,000. The Hon. Robert II. Pruyn then offered $10,000 to found a fellowship or a cor rue of lectures, which ever the College pleased. Dr. Campbell chose the fellowship, but urged the Alumni to found tbe course of lectures. The thanks of the Alumni were presented to Judge Bradley for bis address, 8,000 copies of which were ordered to be printed. After a few short addresses and singing, the meeting closed with tbe benediction. LEOAL lUTELLIOPnci!. Homicides. ' Cbtirf of Oyer and lerminer Judge Ludlow and ixucson.

West Philadelphia Burglary. This morning the court took up the case of the young men, James Young, John Dougherty, Michael McTague, and Wdllam McTague, charged with burglary, committed at the resiuence of Zophaei C. Howell, Forty-arth and Chesuut streets, on the night of May 8. This is the case in which, after the rendi tion or a veruict 01 guuty last week, tne court granted a new trial because It was discovered that pending the trial one of the Jurors had held a pri vate conversation witn tne prosecutor concerning a knife that bad been found upon one of the pri soners. To-day s proceeding is tne new trial. The offend ing juror, who U an itinerant match-merchant, sits In the front of the dock with bis basket of matches at his Bide, listening Intently to the details, which he before heard under different circumstances, aud anxiously awaiting the Issue, because a line of $250, which he has not paid, Is perhaps Intimately con nected with this result. Tbe evidence given to-day is prcci-eiy tne same as mat on me former occasion, to the effect that the house was entered and robbed In the night time, and stiver-ware and other articles stolen from there were found by the detectives in the prisoners' possession.
