The Baltimore Hun of Saturday says: It appears that for the past two years Peter Nesbcig, foimerly a seafaring man, but who has recently been working at Ms trade ot sail making, has been boarding at Mrs. Mary Ann Anderson's whenever he was in Baltimore, ami that be has often asked her to marry him, but sue always reiused, telling mm, as well as other peikons, that his only object in waut ing Ler to marry biin was to get posses- sum oi tue bouse iu which she Jived, to gether with other property 6ho owned. About six months since he left the city and relumed three weeks ago, and the two seemed to get along very well together. On Wednesday night last Nesberg went out with Frederick, 6on of Mrs. Andersou, nnd both of them returned home about 10 o'clock, under the Influence oi liquor, rsesuerg again asked her, In the presence oi Mary Kidd. the oeeupaut ubove referred to, to marry him. Again sue refused, and said she did not want anything more to do with him, as he had no right to take the bov out and make him drunk, as his mind was unsettled enough when he was sober, and that he was perfectly crazy when he was druuk, Both of them were very angry, and he accused her of earing more for soma oim else than slia j, .,,.,1 ... ),.'f ! " ...... .,, : 'j ,-. , VfUJU i rcvw-'gcu siusv itvr. THE TRAOEDT. Everything remained very quiet in the home until yesterday morning, at 9j o'clock, whe-i a Mrs. Sincoe, who resides next door, and who was in the second story of her own home, beard the report of a pistol twice, ono shot, being fired immediately alter the other. She did not pay much attention to the noise, although it 6hook the Kings In the wiud ws, but thought that something had fallen in one of the lower rooms, aud did not pay any more atten tion to it. The woman Mary Kidd, who slept with Mrs. Anderson, heard her get up about 7 o'clock in the morning, aiid go down stairs, but did not hear the shots tired, and only discovered the trag-dy when eowg down ihe stairway into the kitchen, about 10 o'clock, when, seeing blood upon the floor, without waiting to seek further, she ran up stairs and awoke the lury, who came down, and discovering the dead bodies of his mother and the man upon the floor, rushed into the yard crying out that his mother w as dead. A rtORRIBLE SIGHT. The alarm was immediately given, and the police olhcercn the beat, Mr. J. i. Jones, went Into the house aud found not oulv the dead body of the woman lying on the floor of the kitchen, weltering in blood, but also that of TeM erg on the opposite side of the room. Ihe bodies, as they were found, presented a horri ble appearance. The woman was lying oti her l ack beside the stove, with her hair disheveled, and a bullet bole in the right side of her head, immediately above the ear, and from which the brains were oozing. The man was lying on the floor, with his shoulders propped up against the stairway, bis right hand firmly holding a pistol, the vici nity in which lie was Iving being coveted with blood, which came from a wound also in tlie right side of bis head, near the temple. The sup position is that after lie shot the woman he sat down upon a chair and shot himself, as a chair stood beside hipi. from which it appeared as if lie had fallen. The supposition in regard to ttio woman is that she was engaged in cooking at tic time the 6hot was fired. THE CORONER'S INQUEST AND VERDICT. Coroner e-picer was summoned as soon as possible, and about 1 o'clock an inquest was held over the bodies, which were lying just as ttiev were lound. The jury, without retirinir. rendered a verdict mat Mrs. Anderson came to Ler death from a pistol shot in the hands of Peter Nesberg. who tbot her in a fit of jealousy, aud them committed filicide. A CINCINNATI IIOKROR. An l'Hlluinlile Yonna l.ttdy Killed by Her l,oi-r-A .Mysterious t itne. The Cincinnati Times of Saturday has the fol lowing: About nine o clock last night the citizens of the west end ot Covington were startled by the report that a very estimable young lady Miss riiiiomeno eiimghoit Had been shot and killed at her home on Philadelphia street, Ue tween Seventh and Eighth streets, by her lover, -t..i. 1.- i. . i- . . r i. - ricueiiciv nuuis. it muuis mat ivoora nuu visited the young lady's house about eight o'clock last evening, aud fonnd that she had gone to a neighboring grocery for coal oil. He took a Feat iu the kitchen and awaited her re turn. In about fifteen minutes she came back and expressed some surprise atseeing him there. After conversing for a short time the couple went into an auloining room, but were not there long when the family, in a u other part of the house, were started by the report of a pistol and the screams of the young lady. Upon rushing to the door ot the room In which the parties were, Mrs. Wellinghoff found it locked, and heard her daughter sere lining for some one to open it. The door was dually opened by M'ss Wellinghoff herself, who turned Ihe key. ehe then staggered out, ex claiming that b red. had shot her aud that she was d,ng. loung Kocrs rushed trnntieaiiy out of the house, and proceeded as fast as ho could to the residence of tather troelich, a Catholic priest, telling him that he had killed his sweet heart, but that he did not luteud to do It; that he didn't know there was anything in the pistol. ihe young woman died in about fifteen minutes after she was shot. The ball entered her left breast, penetrating into the body. Esquire 1-rands summoned a jury, aud held an inquest on the bod'. THE VERDICT. We, the jury empanelled to hold an inquest on the body of Philomena Wellinghoff, an un married woman about nineteen years of age, find that the said Philomena Welliughoff came to her death from a wound from a oistol-b.ill discharged from a pistol In the hauds of Fred- rick Koors, and that the handling ot said pistol by said Koors was either malicious or careless, but as to wbich ot these two the jury are di vided in opinion. INTERVIEW WITII THE PRISONER. We visited the city jail this morning, and found Koors lying on a mattress in his cell. He was quiet, but appeared to nave spent a restless night. lie said that the shooting was purely acci dental; that Miss ellinghott and he were in the room together; that she was playlug with him, and that he pulled out his pistol for no particular purpose whatever. She caught hold of ilia barrel and was trying to wrest it from him when the weapon was discharged, but how lie did not know. He said he was engaged to be married to her iu August next If everything went on right; that he hai never quarrelled w ith her; was not jealous of any one; that she had uo other suitor than himself.

The concurrence of the bishops in the decision of the Book Committee, which we published ou Saturday, is as loliows: Uo tlie Hook Vommtttee Dear Brethren: e received your request to be present at this in vestigation of the case of the Rev.

The result of theso careful delibaratlons is embodied in the two papers presen'el to the committee.

The London Saturday lievieto has a remark able article npon political prisoners, from which w e make the following extracts: There are two theories as to the mode in which political prisoners ought to be treated. According to the one theory, they are persons who have been guilty of no moral crime, or at most of a very slight one. They have tried to incite to war or to mako war, and they have been beaten. They are prisoners of ought to be treated as such. It is, of course, quite proper that they Bhould be kept in confinement, be cause the enemies of the existing (iovernmcut cannot be allowed to go at largo. But they ought to be treated while in confinement with the respect and courtesy which a . generous enemy always extends to those he has captured on the field of battle. Thev ought to be care fully distinguished and kept apart from all ordiuary criminals, well fed, al lowed to communicate with their friends, subject only to such supervision as is Becessary to ensure that they shall not use their involuntary leisure in hatching or aiding new plots; and they ought not to bo called on to perform any mauual labor. This, it is Eaid, is only In accordance with the preva lent views entertained by society of their ofiense. They have been possibly foolish; pos sibly they may have only sacrificed themselves as the pioneers ot a movement bereattcr to ba successful, but the success of which would have been impossible had not some enthusiasts stepped forward to start it aud suffer for it. ro one tfiinKs tney nave done anything dis graceful. Their wives aud familits glory in bearing their name, and have none of the humiliaiion and sense of shame falling on those w ho are intimately associated wilha pickpocket or a lorecr. inoee wno adopt this tuoory would have liked to see the Fenian prisoners treated as they think the captives of Sedan are, or ought to be, treated by the Germans. lit course all political prisoners are not alike, and no one probably would claim that the mur derers of policemen at Manchester, or the authors of the Cierkenwell explosion, should be treated as if they were captive marshals of France. But if the general theory were right, the ordinary Fenian who has been guilty of nothing more than treasonable writing, or acts intended to promote disalleetion or war, ought no more to sutler extraordinary peualues bo cause some persons sympathizing with their cause have been guilty of murdering innocent officials and civilian?, than Canrobert or Ba zaiue ought to suffer extraordinary penalties because some French officers have broken their parole. Tho other theory is that political prisoners are exactly like other prisoners, that sedition aud treason-felony are most dan gerov6 aud pernicious crimes calculated to do infinite liarm to nic ana property, and that the law mubt be upheld with equal severity against them us ngalnst any other criminal whose crime has been defined bv Parliament as an act deserv ing the same amount of punishment. But it is quite consistent with this view to say that tue rigors of penal servitude may bo properly re laxed in particular cases, because those rigors lull with unequal severity on ditterent men. There are especially two parts of penal disci pline which torture some men and hardly affect others. The association with the ordinary pro fessed ruffian is most painful to men who have hitherto lived iu homes of decency or refine ment, while to the habitual criminal it is pro bably a source of positive pleasure; aud, obviously, tho severer forms of manual labor are nothing to persons accustomed to hard manual labor all tbeir lives, while they are full of excessive hard ship to men w ho have never done a day's work out of doors. The forger or the fraudulent trustee is in these respects exactly on a footing w ith the political prisoner; and in point of fact the prison authorities do make a difference when it can be shown to be reasonable that a difference should bo made. They do not force all those condemned, to penal servitude to herd together, nnd they adjust manual labor to tho constitution and previous habits of the work man. Ail that political prisoners, therefore, if this theory Is right, cau a?k. Is that they should be treated as ordiuary criminals, but that they should have such a relaxation of discipline made In their favor as would bo granted to auy oilier criminals who were like them in constitu tion and previous habits of living. MURDER IN TRENTON. Horrible Affair A Alan Killed lor bU Money. On Saturday evening, A6a Downe, a stranger in Trenton, visited a numberof drinklng-saloons in the southern part of the city, imbibing freely at each. With him were two companions, who drank at his expense, but not as deeply as no did. lhelr appearance was not remarKabio, and none who saw him bad any suspicion that a horrible tragedy was to terminate their spree Yesterday morning, at about 7 o ciock, uowno was found in a dying condition in a barn in l.'amilton township, about one mile from the city. His left hand and wrist were badly cut and there were deep black marks produced by the clutch of fingers on his throat, lie was re moved to a house near at hand, where ho lay groaning and unconscious during tho day, until 4 o clock yesterday atternoou, when no died. The circumstances attending the ease, aud par ticularly the fact that his pockets had been rifled and were turned inside out, leave no doubts in the minds of the Trenton officers that he was murdered for bis money. Coroner Par sons, with a jury, viewed the body last evening. and ordered a post mortem examination. Ihe inquest will be held tp-day. CALIFORNIA. Cen.uM Returna-The Prr.ent and Future of the mime. The San Frauclsco Bulletin says: "The census returns makes the population of California less than 5(10.000. Probably it is quite 000.000. The reports of the county assessors to Surveyor- General Bost give the number of registered voters at nearly loo.ouo. At this rate about oue- fourth of our population are voters; but ten per ceut. must be deducted from the rglstered list for deaths and removals, leavlug iJ.j.OOO voters a larger number of voters thau has ever been actually polled. According to tue Mirveyor- Ceneral's report fr 1S70, the taxable values of the State are 4252. 401,337. Ihls Is nearly 18,000,000 less than the real values as returned by the census agents tor ban vranclsco aloue. As the proportion of assessed to real values throughout the Slate is probably not more than one-fourtb. it is safe to assume that the true value ot properly in California is not under 41,000.000,000. It was returned by tho census of lbCO at 4207.874,013. Thus the increase in the last decade has been nearly five-fold; yet within that period occurred destructive noods and Droughts, and a large transfer of population from our mining counties to other Stales and Territories. Now that the railroad era has begun, that manufactures are increasing, and towns multiplying, we anticipate for the coming decaue a sun greater degree or prosperity than the above ugures suggest.

Mr. William Barrett, an aged sud highly re spected citizen, says the Richmond Dispatch, of fcaturday, died at bis residence, corner oi rmu and Carv streets, yesterday, under most dis- tret-slnir circumstances. It was about 11 o clocK. He had ju-t finished breakfast. Tho colored man-servant, Wilson, went to another part of the chamber to wut away the dishes, and Mr. Barrett took a piece of paper and weut to the cmt tn ll.i't ,U i.ioe. Wilson, turning arouud a momentaficr, saw the old gentleman stauding beforo the lite witn tue neui oi uis uresting u rm.iw r nn fire. He was tryiug iu a feeble way to smother the blaze, but the material of which the wrapper was mado being light and wadded with cotton, almost iustautaueouly ho was en veloped In flames. The servant, himself almost infirm, stood for a moment panic-struck. ad then dragged his master out of tho room into the tiassuge. He then ran back to get a blau- ket, which he threw over him; but by this time uearly every rag of clothes upou his body had bttn Lurned, aud ho was not only scorched a'l ever, but bad inti-tlcd tho l!un"s. !)-.

I The rough weather to-day and the unsettled condition of the stock market had a rather de pressing effect on loans, and lenders are acting with unusual caution. The rates on call loans are firmer, and stock collateaals are taken only with good margins. The favorite collaterals are Government bonds, which command excep tionally low figures. The Reading panic on Saturday has had serious results ou the stock market, and some days will elapse before It will recover from the shock. We notice a dis position on the part of the New York press to accredit the flurry to a Philadelphia operator. This is nn inexcusable error, to use no harsher term. The cause of the mischief is now, and has been for some time'past, a regular habitue of Wall street. The discount market continues dull and steady. Gold is without change or feature. Sales have ranged up to noon between 110 and 110;, closing at 110. Government Bonds are moving slowly and prices are fairly maintained at Saturday's quo tations. Ihe Stock market was fairly active and prices were steady. City (5s, new. sold at 100 Sales of Lehigh Gold Loan at 87 for the 000s. Reading Railroad was moderately active, with free sales at 48f49, closing at 49 1-tti. Sales of Pennsylvania at (52: Little Schuvlklll at 43; Lehigh Valley at 008, and Philadelphia aud Erie at 27(ft 27. In Canal shares the only sale was in Schuyl kill at 8. The balance of the list was quiet. Central Transportation stock sold at ftOJJ. PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES. Reported by De Haven llro., No. 40 S. Third street. FIRST BOARD.
