The Bribe
Since the passage of the English bill, the
Black Republican patty find nothing of
which to complain, except that a bribe 14
offered to the people of Kansas. to induce
them to adopt the conslittiLlllll. Those who
make such a fuss about the matter know
very well that theie is nothing in it. It is
merely a hobby which they are forced to
count, for want of a better one. If the
land grant was either 1111115116 i or extrava
gant, thine 'night be some sense in their op
position to it. hut as the graisHigt cusfo
, unary one, and the proceeds are to be judi
ciously appropriated, the ear inado against
it, IN entnely unjust. To show how the
more nellhlllie of the opposition view this
feature of the bill, we present the folio% ing
comments upon it fro% the Washington
States, nn ant i-iiiniiiiistratuin paper:
" The new Kansas bill accepts the Olt
tenden ordinance ; anti, while presenting that,
to the people, aecoriling to our interprets.
hlOll, &lion o(a the latter to express their will
on the constitution It is a virtual subinia
som of the constitution, though not.slone in
Itti straight forward a manner as wa could
desire.
"As the ordinance is only such a one as
is usual in the cases of all new States, there
is no particular reason why the people shall
he influenced to accept it. Whenever they
metre wk. they will have just such ell ordi
nance—certainly one of not less value; Aim
the Lecositpton ordinance would have given
them one beyen times more estuable. .:The
Lecompton ordinance would he worth in land
some #20,490,ft1; the ordinance of the new
bill gives land to the amount of over 14,000,-
000: Therefore we cannot regard' the new
ordinance as a bribe to swallow the constilu
, lion, as it is only the usual grant, and seven
times less than that demanded by Kansas,
supposing Kansas to have Made the Lecounp•
ton instrument. If Kaunas rejects this con•
stitution, shewill have what she is now ry
fered by the new ordinance when she conies rn
with any other constilylion ; conseyuenily, at
cannot be a sicecial bribe to swallow this,"

A Tale of Horroni—Azi Incarnate Fiend
Can it be
Governor Mc Willie, of Mississippi, is charg- .
ed by Vicksburg Southron with having par
rjoned out of the penitentiary a man named
Dyson, who had assassinatedlinotlier may
named-Nei.na_ fur which ho siMnlVlten
teaced 'to the, prison for fourteen years.
That paper says of the criiiiinal :
Ile waylaid his victim, Withvwhom he lied
a deadly fend ; brought him down at the I
first shot, and then emerging from his hi
ding pliee, haunted his dying victim with
words of insult and reproach, &nil finally
concluded, by placing the muzzle of his pin
to the body of Nelms and tiring a second
time. This shot produced instant death, and
so close was the gun to the victim that the
flesh of the murdered men was burnt by the
explosion. Having completed the work of
slaughter, he deliberately mounted his horse,
rode to the house of Nelms, called his wife
put, informed her that hhad murdered her
husband, and directed h o?where to find his
mangled corpse. •
Dyson is a blood-staided, blood-thirsty,
incarnate fiend. Ile is not a man, but a fe
rocious tiger, and Governor McWillio has no
more right to turn such a beast loose upPli
the community than he has to open the rages
of a whole'‘..arevan of tigers. His antece
dents are well known, too, and they should
have forbidden ail hope of Executive amen..
cy. The murder of Nelms was not his first
taste of blood. lie had previously, in a
most base and cowardly manner, murdered
a lawyer named Moss, of Do Solo county, by
shootine him in the back as Moss rode from
him. He had murdered three of Ida own
negroeS, and one of them in a wanner so her
riblympalling as to cause the death of his
wife. This case occurred at his own table,
and the victim of his fiendish rages was
woman. Taking offence at Something the
woman did, or omitted to do; While width g
at the table, he row drew a bowiti•knife,
and, with a single blow. ripped her open --
Ibis wife swooned, and when she awoke to
consciousness. lie had emit the negroe's heart
out, and with it upon his knife, he thru , t it
into her face ' She swooned again, and the
esult of her horror and frignt brought on

soon died.
Bloody Tragedy in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia papers of yesterday con
tain the particulars of a freightful tragedy,
which was enacted 911 Thursday morning .11
Franklin Square. George F. Goodwin, a
barber, in the employ of 11. Dollard, in
Chestnut street, opposite the Stale (louse,
who had been living for some time with a
• trefirti natned Lizzie Marshall, attempted to
murder the latter by shooting her with a pis
tol, Ile then turned the weapon upon him
self, and discharged a fatal shot through his
heart. The wretched man died in the
,mrse of half an hour, but the wounds of
the woman, although of a very serious char
acter, are not likely to terminate her life.—
Jealousy was tho mike of this terrible deed.
It appears that " Lizzie," whose real name
is Anna GarlaxuL had recently taken up
with a magofamed Samuel W. itandall,, and
refused tolive with Goodwin any longer.—
This drove him to desperation, and under
pretence of taking final leave of the woman,
he obtained her consent to meet him in the
Square, with Randall, to say a few parting
words; but it turned out that the interview
was sought for the express purpose of taking
' her life and his own. Goodwin was 23 years
of age. He was raised in Boston, Mass
He has a mother, and also a wife and two
children, who reside at No. 82 West Cedar
street, in that city. Ile came to Philadelphia
about two years ago, and brought with him
this " Lizzie Marshall," a handsome, showy
-woman, now 24 years old, whom lie repre
sented as his wife. It has been since ascer
tained that Silo was brought up in Lynn,
Mass. Of their previous history, or how
they came together, 'nothing is known, as i t
was not suspected, until recently that the
relation cxistinF between - Vise pa was
other than .kvitituatd., ndall , who sup
planted Goodwin in the affections of Lizzie,
is the agent of a New York Jewelry Manu
factory,
" The Allentown Ilemocnt has hitherto
stood aloof from thelLecomplem bill, 111 all
its various aspects ; and, although'it does
not fully approve of all the details of the
compromise offered by Mr. English, Yet it
patnotically goes for a united and victonous
Democracy. The last number Of that paper
has an able article upon this question, which
concludes as follows :
" We cannot say that we like this bill or
•dmtro its details ; especially that feature
which offers a ' consideration of land in fa
vor of the Constitution. But it acknowl
edges a prinoiple that those Democrats who
have conscientiously opposed the Lecompton
Constitution from the beginning contended
for, viz . the right of submission to the peo
ple. The legal voters of Kansas can now de
cide for themselves the question whether
they want the Lecomplon Constitution or
not. If so, in the name of ' popular sover
eignty' let them have it.
We are heartily gild this distracting
question has at length been removed from
our councils. The Democratic party can
now again rally as a unit around the banner
on which is inscnbed principles higher, no
bler aid broader than the question of free
dom or slavery to a kw niggers in the Ter
ritories. It is to be hoped that the bitter
sectionalism which was test vreak&iiiig the
bonds of the Uniop, has been shorn of its
strength, and that under the guidance of a
Democratic Administration and a Democrat
ic Congress, peace will again be restoret‘tp

natical agitation
The Nut Cracked
Will the Lecomtoni tea in Weeny, who arc
so glib in asserting that " Lecompton had
oothlng to do " with thelate . lnufficipal elec
tion, explain the significant fact that Mr.
i Charles Worrell, the worthy Democratic
candidate for Receiver of Taxes, ran far
ahead of ailing follows on the ticket: law,
veto received by his opponent, Mr Plainer
felt, being eighteen hundred and fifteen less
than that amen for Mr. Henry t —Preis.
A few facts will crack this Black Repub
lican nut. In the first place, it is not true
that Mr. Henry received 1,815 votes more
than Mr. Flomerfolt. The official 3returns
- show on the contrary that the differencesslls
only 1124 votes. Then again, Mr. lVorrell.
!lid not run '. far ahead of all his fellows on
the ticket." as asserted Vito Press. loth
Mr. Randall and Mr. Ellis received more votes
than Mr. Worrell, while the latter gentlenuw
led Mr. Curtis only 280 votes. The Press
multi be bard pushed for an argument when
