Nearly all of its mem bers «ere present. An interchange Of opinion developed the fact that little, if any, disaffection exists in oar ranks in ;this county. After ar ranging some details, the Committee adjourned, determined on going to work, and securing for, the Vicki t regular old-fashioned Republic= majority. SHURLOCK , Republimn candi date for the Legislature for thiscoun t y,_ v . bited 7Alienople, Harmony in Butler county last week, and re turned, 'satisfied that everything was right in that end of the District l le had been led to believe, before his trip cit , r there, that Dr. tisk, the Democratic nominee, would poll a heavy Republican vote in that vi cinity ; but after a minute •invcAlga- I ion he finds the whole stidry to be a eahard. From the active Republic ans in that locality he learned that there would be but little cutting at the ( h•tober election, - on any candi dates, and that the Republican tic ket for that county would receive an average majority of from four-to five hundred votes. Tur: formal announcement by the Treasury Department of the taking 4.f all of the Five Per Cent. Loan Iths already be& anticipated. But the fact that this important negotiation has been concluded satisfactorily and without dim inish ingthe credit of the 4 iovernment _is of great moment. It proves that the public finances are administered with discretion and co homy. The National credit glottis higher to-day than ever before'; and though we have still a large debt to carry, we have manifesto.' an ability to fund it on easy terms which speaks well for the resbureo4 and wealth of the country.

A hurricane and earth ,inake proStrated all the houses on the island .and made neat% ly six thousand liersons homeless, No more dreadful commotion of the elements can be imagined than the disturbance which has thus afflicted St. Thomas. The island has been so Iretluently devastated by earthquakes and storms that it may be consider ed well nigh uninhabitable. cer lialOatiOti, and not to be coveted even, as a naval station. A.

The Whig, being a sensible journal, of course knows that on such an issue no political party could be organized in any Northern state. It knows, too, that the 'Pour teenth Amendment forbids the sev eral States and the United States to pay "for the loss or emancipation of any slave." Hence it knows that the question of compensation is not a practical one, s and its suggestion must have been made either for the purpose of calling into being a South ern sectional party, having local spoils for its aim, and a fool's dean for its platform." THERE is a great sensation in the eity of New York, over the dis covery of the corpse of a female, about Is yerirs old, pocked in a trunk left at a railroad l)e;•ot, and ticketed for Lhicago, on last Saturday a week ago. It appears. a lady hired a dray man to take the trunk to the depot from a certain house mentioned. She preceded him, and on his arrival, hired a boy. to assist in conveying the trunk into the depot, when the lid showed signs of giving away. A strap was purchased and bound around the trunk. She purchased a ticket for Chicago and had the bag gage checked. But, some hours would pass before the train left, and the woman went out into, the city. During the afternoon, the rough handling of the trunk caused the lid to open so far as to emit a loathsome stench ; when it was determined by the baggage put.ster, Ito open it and ascertain the cause. They found a beautiful female doubled up and packed thereiu. The authorities were notified and the- corpse remov ed to the triorl.Tue for identification. But, before many hours passxsi it was so disfigured by decompasiti.m as to render identifimtion impossible. Phiysicians declare she came to her death from forced abortion. The drayman Who took the trunk to the depot. and the boy who helped Lim carry it • in, have. been examined. The result xvaa the arrest of an abor tionist named Bosenzweig„ at whose house the trunk was obtained by the d ray man I tosen zweig having assist ed him in loading it upon the dray. It was with the utmost difficulty the officer could protect the prisoner from the fury of the mob; who at once sus peeled him of having been arrested for murder, his character as an abor tionist had become so notorious. Among the many who visited 'the &Aid house for the purpose of identi fying the body, was Josephene Nor ton and Mrs. Kelly, of Boston, Mims. Both gaudily dressed ; the latter keeper of an assignation house in that city, and the former an inmate. They said they thought they saw a msem blanee, in the distorted features .of the deepased, to those of the girl they tifully white complexion and blonde hair. She came to Mrs. Kelly's about tau nionth's ago, giving her name Ituth Billings; and was threeniOnalli advanced in pregnancy. She had been settueed by a medical student, who had gone to California. She had declared she would get rid of her trouble, and left for that purpose. The inmates of l)r. Rosenzweig's house leave been examined but all deny that such a trunk as the ow: iii which the.,,lk;dy \tn. hewed was ever in the house.
