John Savage, Chief Executive Fenian Brotherhood, THE BALTIMORE TRAGEDY". Particular of lb Iteceut Mh.cklDg Murder The Baltimore Hun of Saturday says: It appears that for the past two years Peter Nesbeig, foimerly a seafaring man, but who has recently been working at his trade ot sail making, has been boarding at Mrs. Mary Anu Anderson's whenever he was in Baltimore, and that he has often asked her to marry him, but she always refused, telling him, as well as other persons, that his only object in want ing tier 10 marry him was to gel posses sion of the house in which she Jived, to gether with other property she owned About six months since he left the city and returned three weeks ago, aud the two seemed to ctt along very well together. On Wednesday night last Nesberg went out with Frederick, 6on of Mrs. Anderson, and both of them returned home about 10 o'clock, under the influence oi liquor. Nesuen; atrain asked her. in the presence of Mary Kidd. the occupaut ubove referred to, to marry him. Again sue refused, aud said she did not want auythiog more to do with him, as he bad no right to t ike the boy cut and make him drunk, as his mind was unsettled enough wheu be was sober, and that be was perfectly crazy when be was druuk. Both of them were very uutry, and he accused tier (if caring more for soma mm else than she THE TRAGEDY. Everything remained very quiet In the home until yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, whe'i a Mrs. Slncoe, who resides next door, and who was in the second story of her own bouse, beard the report of a pistol twice, one shot being fired immediately alter the other. She did not pay much attention to the noise, although It shook the kIss in the wlud ws, hut thought that something had fallen ia one of the lower rooms, and did uot 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 mornirg, and go down stairs, but did not bear the shots tired, and only discovered the tragedy when eoing dnn ihe stairway into the kitchen, about 10 o'clock, when, seeing blood upon the lloor, without walling to seek further, she ran up stairs and awoke the hoy, 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 was dead. A HORRIBLE SIOHT. The alarm was Immediately given, and the police officer on the beat, Mr. J. t. Jones, went into the house aud found not only the dead body of the woman lying on the floor of the kitchen, weltering in blood, but also that of Nest erg on the opposite stele of the room, me bodies, as they were found, presented a horri ble appearance. The woman was lying on her l ack beside the stove.' with her hair disheveled, and a bullet hole in the right side of her bead, immediately above the ear, and from which the brains were oo.intr. The man was lying on the lloor, with Ms shoulders propped up against the stairway, his right hand firmly holding a pistol, the vici nity in which he was lying being covered with blood, which came from a wound also In the right side of bis head, near the temple. The sup position is that after he shot the woman he sat down upon a chair ana 6 not nun Pelt, as a chair stood beside him, from which it appeared as if be bad fallen. The supposition in regard to tne woman Is that she was engaged in cooking at the time the shot was fired. THE CORONER'S INQUEST AND VERDICT. Coroner Splcer was summoned as soon as Eossible, and about 1 o'clock an inquest was eld over the bodies, which were lying just as tlH-v were tound. The jury, without relirimr. rendered a verdict that Mrs. Anderson came to her death from a pistol shot in the hands of Peter Nesberg, who i-bot her in a fit of jealousy, and them committed tuicide. A CINCINNATI HORROR. An Untlinnble Young l.nriy Killed by Her Lot it A .uyMeiious ime. The Cincinnati Times of Saturday has the fol- lowing: About nine o clock last night the citizens of the w est end ot Covington were startled by the report mat a very estiinaoie young lady -.Miss Pbilomeiio Wellinghoff htul been shot uud killed at her home on Philadelphia street, be tween Seventh and Eighth streets, by her lover. treat ricK Koors. it seems that ivoors bad visited the young lady's house ii'iout eight o'clock last evening, and fonnd that she had gone to a neighboring grocery tor coal oil. lie took a feat in the kitchen and awaited her re turn. In about fifteen minutes she came back nnd expressed some surprise atseeing him there. After conversing for a short time the couple went Into an adloluing room, but were not there long when the family, in auoiher part of the bouse, were started by the report of a pistol and the screams of the young lady. Upon rushing to the door of the room in which the parties were, Mrs. Wellinghoff found it locked, and beard her daughter screaming for some one to open it. The door was dually opened by M'ss Wellinghoff herself, who turned the key. She then staggered out, ex claiming that i? red. had shot her aud that she was dvli'g. loung K.ocra rustica iranticatiy out ot the bouse, and proceeded as fast as he could to the residence of Father Froelich, a Catholic priest, telling him that he had killed his sweet heart, but that he did not intend to do it; that be didn't know there was anything in the pistol. ihe young woman ciied. in about ntteen minutes after she was shot. The ball entered her left breast, penetrating into the body. Esquire .brands summoned a jury, aud held an inquest on the body. THE VERDICT. We, the jury empanelled to hold an inquest on the bony ot Fhilomena Y eliiughott, au un married woman about nineteen years ot age, find that the said Philomena Welliughotf came to her death from a wound from a pistol-ball discharged from a pistol In the hauds ot r rcdi rick Koors, and that the handling of said pistol by said Koors was either malicious or careless, but as to which of theso two the jury are di vided Jn opiuion. INTERVIEW WITn 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 have spent a restless nmht. He said that the shooting was purely accl dental; that Miss ellinghotf and he were in the room together; that she was playlug with bim, and that he pulled out his pistol for no particular purpose whatever, one caught noia of ilia barrel and was trying to wrest it from bim wbcu the weapon was discharged, but how be did not know. He said he was engaged to be married to her in Augut-t next if everything went on right; that he had never quarrelled with her; was not jealous of anyone; that she bad uu other suitor than himself. Koors is a very intelligent and good-looking young man. He Is a German, but speaks Eng lish quite llueutly. l'lisageis nlueteen years and three months. He is a clerk iu the otlice of bis father, who is a lumber merchaut in Ciu clnnatl. DR. LANAHAN REINSTATED. Concurrent Anion of the lllahopa. The concurrence of the bishops in the decision of the Book Committee, which we published on Saturday, Is as follows: 2o me vook uommutee Hear Brethren: e received your request to be present at this in vestigation of the case of the Rev. Dr. Lanahan while we were holding our annual se-sioa at Baltimore. We felt very profoundly the gravity and difficulties of the duty.

The London Saturday lleciew has a remark able article npon political prisoners, from which we make the following extracts: There ore two theories as to the mode in which political prisoners ought to be treated. According to the one theory, they are persons who bave been gnilty of no moral crime, or at most of a very slight one. They have tried to incite to war or to make war, and they have been beaten. They are prisoners of ought to be treated as such. It is, of course, quite proper that they should be kept iu confinement, be cause the cuemies of the existing Government cannot be allowed to go at large. But they ought to be treated while in conQuemcnt with the respect and courtesy which a generous enemy always extends to those he has captured on the field of battle. Thevoightto be care fully distinguished and kept apart from all ordinary criminals, well fed, al lowed to communicate with their friends, subject only to such supervision as is necessary to ensure that they Ehall 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 said, is only in accordance with the preva lent views entertained by society of their offense. They have been possibly foolish; pos sibly they may have only sacrificed themselves as the pioneers of a movement hereafter to ba successful, but the success of which would have been impossible bad not some enthusiasts stepped forward to start it aud suffer for it. No one thinks they have done anything dis graceful. Their wives aud families glory iu bearing their name, and have none of the humiliation and sunse of shame falling on those who are intimately associated with a pickpocket or n forger. Those who 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. Of course all political prisoners arc not alike, aud no one probably would claim that the mur derers of policemen at Manchester, or the authors of the Clerkenwell 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 disaffection or war, ought no more to suffer extraordinary peualdes be cause some persons sympathizing with their cause bave been guilty of murdering innocent (illiclals and civilians, than Canrobert or Ba- zuine ought to suffer extraordinary penalties because some French officers have broken their parole. The other theory is that political prisoners are exactly like other prisoners, that sedition and treason-felony are most dan gerous and pernicious crimes calculated to do infinite harm to life ana property, ana that the law must be upheld with equal severity against them us ngainst any other criminal whose crime has been defined by Parliament as auact deserv ing the same amount of punishment. But it is quite consistent witli this view to say that the rigors of penal servitude may bo properly re laxed in particular cases, because those rigors lull with unequal severity on attterent men. 1 here are especially two parts of penal disci pline which torture some men and hardly affect others. The association with the ordinary pro fessed ruilltin is most painful to meu 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, the severer forms of manual labor are nothing to persons accustomed to hard manual labor all their lives, while they are full of excessive hard ship to men who have never done a day's work out of doors. The forger or the fraudulent trustee is in these respects exactly on a footing with 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 be made. They do not force all those condemned, to penal servitude to herd together, nnd tbey adjust manual labor to the constitution and previous habits of the work man. Ail that political prisoners, therefore, if this theory is right, can ask, is that they should be treated as ordiuary criminals, but that they should bave such a relaxation of discipline made in their favor as would bo granted to any other criminals who were like them in constitu tion and previous habits of living. MURDER IN TRENTON. Horrible AITalr A Man Killed for hi. Honey. On Saturday evening, Asa 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 nt his expense, but not as deeply as ho did. J heir appearance was not remarkable, and none who saw bim bad any suspicion that a horrible tragedy w as to terminate their spree. Yesterday morning, at about yociock, uowne was found in a dying condition in a barn in Hamilton township, about oue mile from the citv. His left band 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 bouse rear at hand, where he lay groaning and unconscious during the day, until 4 o clocK vesteraay atternoou, wuen no aieu. The circumstances attending the ease, aud par ticularly the fact that his pockets had been ritled and were turned Inside out, leave no doubts In the minds of the Trenton officers that be was murdered for bis money. Coroner Par sons, with a jury, viewed the body last eveulng. and ordered a post mortem examination. The Inquest will be held to-day. CALIFORNIA. Cen.ua Returns The Pre.ent and Future of the mate. The San Francisco IiulU-tin says: "The census returns makes tiio population of California less than bbO.OOO. Probably it is quite u'JO uuu. The reports of the county assessors to Surveyor- General Bost give the number of registered voters at nearly 150,000. At this rate about one fourth of our population are voters;, but ten per cent, must be deducted from the rwglstered list for deaths and removals, leaviug IJj.OOO voters a larger nHtnber of voters thau has ever been actually rolled. According to the Surveyor- General's report for 1870, the taxable values of the Slate are 252,401,8S7. This is nearly 18,000,000 less than the real values as returned by the census agents for ban Drauclsco aloue. As the proportion of assessed to real values throughout the State is probably not more than one-fourtb, it is safe to assume that the true value ot properly in California is not under 1 1,000 .000,000. It was returned by the census of 1800 at t''07. 874.013. Thus the increase in the last decade has been nearly five-fold; yet within that period occurred destructive floods and Droughts, and a large transfer of population from our miuing counties to other tales and Territories. Now that the railroad era has begun, that manufactures are increasing, and towns multiplying, we anticipate for the coming decade a still greater degree of prosperity than the above ngures suggest.

( 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 bad serious results ou the stock market, and some days will elapse before it will recover from the shock. We notice a dis positien 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 tlmepast, 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. The Stock market was fairly active and prices were steady. City , new. sold at 100 Sales of Lehigh Gold Loan at 87 for the &00s. Heading Railroad was moderately active, with, free sales at 48(S49. closing at 49 1-10. Sales of Pennsylvania at 02; Little Schnvlklll at 43; Lehigh Vallev at 00g, and Philadelphia aud Erie at 27&'27. In Canal shares the only sale was in Schuyl kill at 8.
