In March last, Thomas Hogan, who for ten rears previously had been boarding with Mr. Martin Cran ston, at No. 707 Shippen street, in this city, went on a journey to the Interior of Delaware to collect muskrat skins. Hogan was a man about fifty years Of age, a native of Ireland, and had been in this country about eighteen years, five of which had been passed In the United States navy, lie was a quiet, respectable, and indust rious man, and not in the habit of carrying wlta him on his periodical trips Into Delaware more money than was necessary to make aiB small purchases of muskrat skins. He left this city on March IS, and when more than a wnk the nsual length of his trips had elapsed without any tidings from him, his friends became alarmed. On the 19th of March the body of a man, who was "subsequently identlfled as Hogan, was found by some fishermen In Kersey's dam, on the road from Canterbury to Fredcrlca, In Kent county, Delaware. Mr. Cranston, with whom ho had boarded so long, visited Delaware at once, ami fully identified the discovered body as that of his friend. The following are the particulars of the manner in which he met his death', as related in the confession of one of the colored men who was soon after arrested on the charge Of committing the foul deed : Hogan had made some purchases of old metal, which he traded in as well as muskrat skins, aud ou the road from Canterbury to Frederiea stopped at the house of an acquaintance for rest and refresh ment. After he left the house he met two colored inen, and asked after skins. He was requested to go with them, and they led him to a secluded spot near a mill dam, where he was struck on the back of the htad with a fence rail, which stunned him and laid him on the ground. He then made an attempt to rise, when the blow was repeated until he was rendered Incapable of resistance. He was next dragged to the mill pond, thrown in and held under the water with the end of the rail until he was dead. This story was fully confirmed by the post-mortem examination. Three wounds were found on the side and back of the head, one three incnes long over the left ear, which cut entirely through the scalp; one on the back of the head two and a half inehes long, and one over the right ear. The Burgeon who made the examination is of the opinion that Hogan was not dead when he was thrown Into the mill pond. Previous to throwing the unfortunate man into the water, hla assailants stripped him of all his clothing except his panta loons, and took from his person all the money found upon It. Two colored men, Edward Darnell and William Lober by name, were arrested on the charge of Having committed this dastardly deed, and at their trial, which took place at Dover in the latter part of April, Darnell was convicted, while Lober was ac quitted. The chief testimony against the latter was the admissions made by Darnell, but his stories were Bo conflicting that no dependence could be placed upon them, and consequently he alone Is to sutler the penalty of the crime. The execution or Darnell is to take place to-morrow at Dover, the county seat of Kent. The doomed man is represented as not being very much reconciled to his fate, and still per sists that the murder was committed by Lober, who w as acquitted by the Jury. DELAWARE POLITICS. A .Hod el KcpuLTTcanNoinlnee A Gentleman - who Would Itather be Defeated than If uy Votes. The Wilmington Commercial publishes a letter from Mr. T. B. Coursey, recently nominated by the Republicans for the Governorship of Dela ware. It is a document quite out of the common run. We present a portion of It: You inform me the State Convention have chosen me as their standard bearer in the coming campaign. I can do nothing less than accept the position assigned me. I may be allowed, at the same time, to say that in accepting it I do so at a great sacrifice of per sonal comfort. Living, as I have been, a retired life, devoted to the happiness of my family, literally sitting under my own vine, with none to molest or make me afraid, I was then master of the situation, with but lUe to disturb my quiet and repose. But in acceding the situation assigned me I am set up for the next six months as a mark for all the slang and slander of those opponents who do not even respect the sacred precincts of the family circle, and care not what means they use to traduce the character of a political antagonist. I have, however, made up my mind to possess my soul in peace and try to be prepared to pass such by as not worth being troubled over. It is nevertheless difficult for a man who has endeavored to live a correct life and leave as a legacy to his children an unsul lied reputation to remain unmoved under such circumstances. Candidates for the executive chair are rarely taken from the rural districts and common walks of life, and it has come to be the opinion of some that none but professional men are fitted for the position, and your candidate has been already twitted with being illiterate and lacking capacity, etc., for the position. I make no pretension to being a Solomon, and am willing to admit that there are others who, on account of educational opportunities and pro fessional a8sociations,ought to be better fitted to adorn the executive chair than vour candidate, who was educated at the plough and jack-plane. Nevertheless, should I be elected, I will endea vor to give no cause to bring a blush to the cbeek of those who nominated me or may assist in my election. I suggest that we conduct the campaign with a little more respect toward our opponents than they have heretofore shown to us. The issues of the war are over and it is useless to call hard names; harsh epithets engender bad feelings, and no votes are made by it. Allow me also to say a word in regard to the use of money during the campaign. Though in doing so I may lay myself liable to the loss of a few votes in certain quarters, yet if there is not in the religious and moral portion of the oppo site party a sufficient amount of interest in the purity or the ballot-box to make up my loss, let me suffer the consequence; it will be no more than I have done before. Bribery at the polls has grown to an alarming extent in this cute. It is a disgrace to any community claiming either Christianity or mo rality. It ought to be abated, or republican government will soon be among the things that were, i none mat no money, irom any source whatever, will be used lor buying votes in the coming campaign. I so detest aud. abhor the whole thing that I would sooner be defeated than so elected. Aaarravated Aaaaalt on a Supporter of Air. Coursey. The Commercial also publishes the following despatch from Smyrna, Delaware, June 21: Considerable excitement was caused ims alter- noon, by an aggravated assault made by a butcher of this town, named W ilson, on tha per son of George Blake, Esq., a well-known horse power engineer, and a prominent Republican.

Ifevr Grown-up Children In the Noiith AmoNe Theiimrlves A Tournament The Knltchts A Precious Net of tJuj-Chooln the Queen and Maids of Honor. A Laurel (Md.) correspondent of the Washing ton Star writes: The tournament took place this afternoon in a beautiful grove just south of tho town, and about 4 o'clock the array of beauty has seldom been excelled in this section of the country. The knights having arrived, as also the officers, it was determined to commence riding forthwith. MARSHALLING THE KNIGHTS. In front of the stand the ring was hung, and the course (one hundred yards) having been marked off, the knights were marshalled in front of the stand, and were informed that it was ex pected that they would make the distance in ten seconds, and the riding commenced, Snowden calling the knights in turn, while a charge wm sounded by the bugle. The knights who entered were the following: "Shoo Fly," dressed in white, with red scarf and black enp, surmounted by blue feather; "Montpclier," red shirt, black cap, and red feather; "Laurel," black shirt, fancy trimmed; "Avondale," black shirt, fancy trimmed, black hat; "Howard," black suit, trimmed with gold; "Oak Grove," grey suit, trimmed with blue; "Lone Star,'' white suit, trimmed with red, red sash, blue bosom, with largo red star; 'Glen coe," dressed as a Highlander, with red cap and black plume; "Tanglewood," white shift and sash, black Scotch cap and large white plume; "Fairview," white dress, blue cap, and white feather; "Arlington," black pants, white shirt, red and white sash, black hat and plume; "Granite Hall," white shirt, black pants, hat and plume, red sash; "Beacon Hall," white spangled dress and white cap; "Prince George's," Kent Duvall, white dress, red sash; and "Santa Fe," grey pants, white shirt, aud black cap. THE TILTING. The riding with most of them was excellent, Eome of the Knights not using the stirrup, but banging to their steeds like Comanches, and, as the score will show, this tournament was a creditable one. Each knight was called on to tilt five times. It was somewhat singular that a few who had made fine records during the prac tice for tho tournament did not come anywhere near gaining the prize. THE AWAIIDS. The tilting having resulted in favor of Mr. Hill, the Knight of the Oak Grove, winning the privilege of crowning the Queen of Love and 15eauty, and Mr. Bentley (Tauglewood) that of chousing the first maid of honor, the result was announced, and there being a tie between Laurel, John Talbott; Avondale, William Tal bott; Glcncoe, Wilson Snowden; aud Lone Star, Ergene Calvert, they were required to ride off, and did so with the following result: Laurel, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0; Avondale, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1; Glencoe, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0; Lone (Star, 0. Mr. John Talbott was declared entitled to select the second maid of honor, and Mr. Wilson Talbott the third maid of honor. The knights being again mar shalled in front of the stand, the general result was announced by Mr. Duval, and the success ful knights were directed to select the Queen and maids of honor. TUB QUEEN AND MAIDS OF HONOR. Under the marehalship of Dr. 8nowden they proceeded through tho crowd, and Mr. Hill hav ing selected Miss Laura Talbott, received her handkerchief on his lance as a token that she would receive at his hands the crown, Mr. Bent ley selected Miss Mary Carr; Mr. John Talbott, Mies Elizabeth Jenkins, and Mr. Wilson Talbott, Miss Mollie Jenkins, as the maids of honor. They returned to the stand, and the selections having been announced, tho judges returned their thanks and those of the assemblage to the knights, and announced that the coronation would take place at Fleester's Town Hall in tho evening. After the larger portion of the company had left the grounds several of the knights and some who had notcnteredin the tournament tried their hands again, and for a time an exciting contest progressed, the participants mostly taking the ring four times out of five, and one'young man won a couple of dollars wagering $5 to twenty cents that he could take the ring each time. THE CORONATION AND THE BALL. At 84 o'clock this evening the Town Hall was crowded to overflowing by those who held invi tations, and the coronation ceremony was per formed by Mr. Jenkes making an appropriate address to the successful knights, and after a promenade dancing was commenced, the first set being composed of the successful knights, and the Queen and maids of honor. A SECRET MARRIAGE AND ITS SEQUENCES. COX- The Mother of the Bride (Stab the Bridegroom to the Heart. Thirty years ago a great sensation was created in this city, says the at. Louis Democrat, by the discovery that Augustine Kennerly. the City Col lector, was a defaulter to the amount of between $20,000 and $30,000. The exact amount was never ascertained, owing to tne system of book-keep ing in vogue at that time. Kennerly belonged to a highly respectable family. Several years alter waras ne puonsnea a statement, attempting to exonerate himself, out it was not entirely satisfactory. He also published a novel called the "Heiress of Fotherlngay," which did not make him a very high reputation as a romancist During man' years of his life he lived on terms of intimacy with a colored woman. This woman had several children, who were bright mulattoes. ihe old lady is known as Mrs Holland, and has resided for many years at Cheltenham, owning five or six acres of land there, besides property In the city the whole valued at about $50,000. Her younger daughter, Augustine, wai her fa vorite. and was educated in the convent at Baltimore, in all the accomplishments of a modern education, ihe mother, having seen the colored people of the United States rise from a condition of servitude to the plane they how occupy, fondly looked forward to the time when Autrustine would be led to the altar by a respectable white mau. But her hope was doomed to be blighted. She' had in her employ a mulatto man named James Madison, who drove a team belonging to her, aud hauled fire clay for the brick works at Cheltenham. Madi son was considered an honest and faithful man Being an inmate of the house, he had frequent opportunities of cultivating the acquaintance of Augnstlne;Tbut his wooing was in secret, as he well knew the old lady would scorn any alliance witn mm. He succeeded, however, in winning the affec tlons of the girl, who is about twenty years of age, and well educated. They were married without the knowledge of the old lady. Immediately after the wedding the couple started on the Pacific road on a short bridal tour to Kocheport, Boon county, the former place of residence of the bridegroom. When Mrs. Hol land heard of the marriage her indignation knew no bounds. She pursued tha fugitives to Rocheport, and there meeting Madison face to face, plunged a dagger Into his heart, killing him on the spot. Such is the account that reaches us from authentic sources. Mrs. Holland was arrested on a charge of murder, and her trial is set for August a. i A railroad conductor in Maine has been on j the road twenty years, has travelled 700,0,) vrtl unA l.a npv.r nipt with an .pptti.nt DICKENS. The Queen and the Ureal Novell! London In jitnrnian. Mr. Smalley writes to the New York Trilnine a letter from England upon the death of Mr. Dickens, from which we extract tho following passages: The suddenness of his death has taken the London press by surprise. There seems to have been at first a desire to keep his Illness a secret. He was attacked at his home near Rochester. about twenty-five miles from London, Wednes day evening at dinner, nothing was known of it by the evening papers of the day following. Physicians arrived in rapid succession from the neighboring town and from London. They all agreed that the case was hopeless irom the first moment. His was-one of thoso thoroughbred natures that go on working at full speed till the last moment; then, without any premonitory symp toms of weakness or any sensible failure of energies or faculties, break up in any moment. His sister-in-law was with him; his son and two daughters were telegraphed lor and arrived in time to stand by his bed as the lamp went finally out. From the first moment to the last he re mained unconscious, and no spoken farewell softened the bitter grief of relatives and friends. Among his sincere mourners Is the Queen. The relations between her and Mr. Dickens were once so far from being true that Mr. Dickens felt himself obliged to decline an invitation to the Court, lie was, in fact, invited as an ama teur actor and reader, but being invited only as such, refused. With a sense of the dignHv of his profession only too rare in England,' he said that while he yielded to nobody in proper respect for his sovereign, he would not enter any house professionally where he could not be received on equal terms socially, it was the ridiculous punctilio of some gold-stick-in-waiting that stood between the Queen and Mr. Dickens, and it happened so long ago that it is only worth remembering to snow now mucn wiser tne yueen lias proved in such matters than her counsellors. She put aside, or probably there was no need to put aside, the foolish suggestions of etiquette, and of late years the Queen has welcomed Mr. Dickens to her nouse, as she welcomes any other guest of distinction. There had grown up between them a feeling of personal friendship. The Queen sent him her book, with a graceful note saying how unworthy such a tntle was of the acceptance of him who was the chief among the writers of her time. Mr. Dick ens, not long before his death, gave to the Queen a copy of the library edition of his works. She rut it in her private cabinet, and asked Mr. ielps to let Mr. Dickens know that his gift was placed where It would be always plainest in her sight and readiest to her hand. The letter . - - 1 .Lt. l. , .1. - i (.-uniaiuiug iuib Luesbiie reacucu lue great novelist's home while he lay slowly dying and unconscious. It is known that public honors have been pressed by the Queen and her advisers upon Mr. Dickens. After what he said at Liverpool last year he could not well be offered a peerage, but he might have had that or any lesser title if he would. Times have changed a little since Macaulay was happy and proud to accept what Dickens could reiuse without pride or otteusc, but simply because he thought the dignity un- sulted to lilm. hen no bad gratefully declined oiffll-vtlilnff nlan 1 Yin Oll0n auboH him ir nnnant a seat in her Privy Council. If he would not have that either, i presume it was because it confers the title of Right Honorable, and he preferred to be simply Charles Dickeus. Intelligence of his death was sent by telegraph to Balmoral, and Colonel Pon Bonby, one of the household officers, replied, 'lne vueen commands me to express her deepest regret at the sad news of Charles Dickens' death." I need not go on to say how universal is the sorrow among tho English peo ple. The press is filled with eulogies, as is only natural, but ft hat is remarkable is that oa the second day after the annftunccment, after the leading articles and biographies had been duly published, every journal returns to the same sad topic. In most of them tho later articles f-nre fiHed-with personal reminiscences,-JTitf tif a kind that mark now genuine is tne feeling that spreads through the community. Ilia r.nt Letter. Mr Dickens' last letter was addressed to his son at Cambridge; but the following was written on the day of bis seizure with apoplexy; Gapkbill Place. Higham by Rochestcr. Kent. WeonehdaY, June 8, 1S70. Dear Sir It would beguile inconceivable t me bat for your letter that anj reason able reader could possibly attach a Scriptural reference to a passage in a book of mine, reproducing a much abused stcial figure of speech, impressed into all sorts of service, on all sorts of inappropriate occasions, without tbe faintest connection of it with its original source.

The Detroit Tribune publishes the following sketch of Mr. Akerman s life, furnished to it by a prominent member of the bar of that city: I happen to know tbe following facts: Amos Tappen Akerman was born at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire, February 23, 1821, and was the son of Benjamin, Tappan, of that city. He gra duated at Dartmouth College in 1842, and im mediately afterwards went to Murfreesboro, N. C, to engage in teaching school. Remaining there only one year, he spent the next three years in teaching at Richmond, Va. He then removed to Peoria, 111., where he studied for the legal profession with H. O. Merriman, Esq. From Peoria he went to Georgia, where he has since resided. He supported himself by teach ing at Savannah for two years, and continued his legal studies with the Hon. John MacPher son Berrien, a former United 8tates Attorney General. Clarksville, Wabersham county, Ga., was tho scene of his first professional labors, but he soon removed to Elberton, Elbert county, his present place of residence, where he has built up a large practice, accumulated a compe tent estate, and secured the respect and esteem of the bar and community. In politics he was a Southern Whig, before tbe war, and we all know what that description of politician was. He was a supporter of the Southern side of every national question, and no man could have been a successful lawyer at the South with any other views. But he was for tbe Union inexorably until so late after actual hostilities that Gladstone bad declared the ex istence of a nation, and there seemed to be no peace in tbe extreme south lor Unionism. After the war be engaged in the work of re construction as determined upon by Congress. was an active member of tho Constitutional Convention, and has labored much at Washing ton for tho settlement of the extraordinary Georgia problem. He received from President Grant the appointment of United States District Attorney for Georgia, in recognition of his ser vices at this crisis of the State. His education, his abilities, his experience, his position in his own State, and especially his attitude in respect to the "New South," render the nomination one eminently "fit to be made," although it is entirely unknown to the nation at large. A. R. AN UNEXPECTED SPRINKLING. Admirable Manner of Moaklug a Thirsty Ex. curaloa Parly. The West Chester Republican of Tuesday says: On the return of the excursion party over the Wilmington and Reading Railroad on Wed nesday last, an incident occurred when a few miles above Downintrtown. which, notwlthstand- a tank to supply the engine with water. The company had failed for want of time to place hose on the spout or trough of the reservoir, to insert in the tank of tbe engine, and a portable tin spout was used instead. As tho train started, by some inexplicable means, the gate of the water tank became displaced thus per mitting the water to escape. The stream emitted was some four inches in diameter, and struck near the bottom of the windows of the car, which were all open at the time. The seats were filled with occupants, and the effect of such a volume of water suddenly pouring into one's lap may better be imagined than de scribed. We can only say that the sudden scrambling it produced was wonderful to behold. The entire traiu was thus Immersed, the seats being saturated and the floors flooded. Although everything was suddenly rendered exceedingly disagreeable, the whole party took the atfair good nalnredly, and set it down as the practical joke of the occasion. A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. Yesterday's Excitement In Consrress Rntler fjnlls Krnworlh an Amamls and Rloward, The New York World's Washington correspondent writes: There was a fearful scene In the House to-dav amoDg the radicals, wherein one member called another member an assassin and coward, and the other retorted by calling the other a thief. It had for Its basis a matter insignificant enough In itself, but it booh grew into exciting proportions. The House had gone to business on tho Speaker's table, and the first bill reached was one for tho relief of Rollin White, a patent pistol maker, over which impended the first veto of President Grant In the course of the debate General Butler took the floor, and advocated the passage or the bill. General Farnsworth was promptly on hand with an interjection, and quoted the rule of the House which prohibits any member from voting on a question In which he Is interested. lie thereupon declared that uutler had been Drst employed as counsel for the opponents of White, but had suddenly Jumped on the other side and re ceived a lee of fitt)00. This ho proved by a certified document from the Patent Oillce, and arnica tsar, as a mere pretense to cover nis tracks, isutier nau nieu a nnei in tne supreme t;oun, wnicn he had never argued, because the work was to be before Congress. "I therefore charge him," said Farnsworth, with vehement voice and gesture, witn being on Doin siues or mis case on one side without a fee and on the other side with a fee." This aroused the whole House, and the Democratic side came nocking into the central aisle to get a full view or tne scene, a movement to stmt otr debate failed, and Iiutler got the floor to reply. Farnsworth Intimated an interruption. Uutler excitedly replied, 1 (lout yield to a man wno has got more beard than brains," alluding to the long gray beard of the Illinois member, who as excitedly and quickly retorted, "The member from Massachusetts may curse my beard, but he shall not come into this House to steal under the shadow of It." Several Radicals cried, "Order!" "Order !"' The Democrats answered, "Good!" "Good '."and nodded approval. Butler went ahead and characterized Farnsworth's statement as lnfa- mors and maliciously false, and denying that he had done anything professionally wrong,ln violation of law, or Incompatible with his position as a member of tie House, as Farnsworth had charged. He ad mitted receiving the f 2000, but put It on the plea mat ne nau prepared a Driei in me case ror tne Supreme Court, and then he went on to say that the dealing of a blow to one who was unprepared and witnout notice was tne act or a coward and an aEassin. Farnsworth winced a little. Down came the Speaker's gavel with a tremendous thump. But ler stopped quick enough. The whole House looked first at the Speaker, then at Farnsworth, who sat coolly in his seat, and then at Iiutler. There was no call to order. "What, Is It a message from the Senate?" inquires Butler, breaking the silence. It was , evident that this was not the usual signal for a message from the Senate, yet the Speaker and his gavel were still silent. Butler recently told the Speaker that the latter had the advantage because he always held the floor, but It appeared that the Speaker was willing that Butler should hold it now, and so he pushed ahead. "I take it," said he, growing redder In the face, "and 1 reiterate it, that It Is a principle in ethics that no one will dispute, that he who deuls a blow at one that is unpre pared for It, and has no notice of It, srho slabs him in the back and In the dark, is an assassin and a coward ; and I venture to add that it is an assertion that even the Speaker's gavel will not interrupt." As to the intimation that he had hied a brier In the Supreme Court merely to obtain a fee. Butler said, flapping up his arms and looking with one eye an Imploring slant at the celling and the other bent on Farnsworth : "Oh ! Father Abraham, what theso Christians are Whose own hard dealings lead them to suspect The very thoughts of others." Down he sat, and after brief debate the House re fused to pass the bill over the veto. Butler's client got just twelve votes, and thus ended this most dis graceful scene. PHILADELPIIIANS IN PARIS.

A letter from Fort Fettcrman, dated Juno 8, says the four principal chiefs of the Arrapahocs, who had arrived there, deny any participation in the murders on the Sweet Water, or any fighting with troops since they were attacked by the miners near the Sweet Water. Ab out thirty lodges are willing to go to the Gros Ventres Agency, but tho larger part desire to remain near Fort Casper until the Southern Arrapahoes are permanently at peace, and there join them. They say they are not friendly with the Crows, and would have to pass through their country, and might get into trouble. Their condition is pitiable. When attacked by the minors they lost their lodges and cooking uten sils and twenty-six head of horses. They are now satisfied that they were attacked for the crimes committed by others, through a mistake. The chief "Friday" says three men sold them ten gallons of liquor, for which they paid three head of horses and mules. These Indians have been permitted to remain in the vicinity of Fort Fetterman for the present. Naval Matters. Special Despatch to Tha Evening Telegraph. Washington, June 23.
