The M'Clure-Gnty investigation has ended, aud the committee hat re ported that M'Clure is entitled to the •cat by about 1,000 majority. After this report was read in the Senate, Mr. M'Clure vu sworn in and took the •cat previously occupied, through fraud, by the virtuous radical Gray. Gray then packed up hi* trap* and left ilarrisburg, without wailiuf to be shaved er getting hia boot* blacked. The fact ia. Gray ought have a teat, with shaved head in state pri*ou, for occupying a seat that was obtained by the most shameftil frauds en recenl. Since Gray left Harrisburg the sen ate now stands 16 democrats to 16 republicans, and one independent, M - Clure. M'Cluro hereotfore belonged to the radical party, but so far his votes in the senate are not of a charac ter that democrats might complain, he fought a bold fight against radical fraud and corruption and with the aid of democrats, right aud justice have for once triumphed. - ♦ ♦ The Mifflinduig Telegraph is badly posted when it asserts that Mr. Jfiller was in favor of the railroad bill with the stupid proviso mortgaging the road to the stockholders and then authorising the issuing of bonds to other parties in order to raise money to complete the road.

Mr. Meek haviug attempted to kill the railroad with his famous "stock holders mortgage" which we exposed and settled for him so completely in the Reporter, week before last, we now give htm the ben6t of our col umns in trying to show what a saiut he has been. The above article we are nat afraid to have read by the people of Penusvalley, and it needs no Comment from us, as our people have already prououuoed their opiuion up ou it and him. The "ablest" is careful to keep sileut on the "stockholders mortgage" pro viso, sugar coated to kill the road, in which infamy he was exposed by the REPORTER, and tha eyes of our peo ple opened to what Meek was doing to kill off the road three-fourths grad ed. The effect of Meek's proviso was that all contractors aud bauds iu this valley were making calculations to quit and go to other port* for employ ment ; and that is what weuld now be the state of affairs on the road, had net the REPORTER exposed the infamous, sugar coated proviso, and thereby aroused our people to their danger, and/ores our "ablest" on a hasty back track. He must feel pretty sensibly by this time that he did not succeed in April-fooling the people of Pennsval ly by bis sugar-coated, but deadly proviso. By misrepresenting the sugar-coated proviso, a few unthinking were led to favor it, honestly thinking it was iu the interest of the mad, until the fraud was exposed in our columns, a ben a committee of indignant citizens from this valley at once called upon the author, Meek, and forced him to con sent to have his pet scheme to kill the road stricken out. We ask our readers to go back two months, and they will find the Watch man week after week pouriug slime over the bill and bellowiug to our peo ple to petition against its passage, so as to kill the road and then hide him self behind the remonstrances and throw the blame upon our people. But no remonstrances came at his bellow ing, which silence should have satisfied our officious legislator that our people had no objection to the 3 million bill as it passed the senate. Our people will remember, that tha Watchman then threatened if ao opposition came the bill would pass on "the following Tuesdav." No opposition came and the "following Tuesday" did not see the bill passed as promised, but, in stead, it was choked off by our officious legislator, in regular legislative roos ter and pincher style in order to force a corruption fond te grease its passage. What then/ Why, when failing t© call out opposition to tho senate bill, by misrepresenting it in his newspa per, for weeks, he prints remonstrances in hia own office, unsolicited, and has them sent out Now, why, if he was a fair representative, did he not also print petitions for the bill and let the two go out together? Ab, that did not suit this hidden Bellefente enemy of our road and that would uot help him to kill it He then, failing in his tricks, tried the famous sugar-coated proviso, insulting the intelligence of the people of Pennsvalley by assuming they would swallow that, he knowing it was death to our railroad ; really, how nicely be laid a plan te finish the road right speedily, and had his trick not been exposed, our read would now be lying tu state iu its coffin with bis sugar-coated proviso for a shroud, and while its Pennsvalley friends stood around mouruing over its demise, the outside world would be laughing down at them from the top of Nittany moun tain for again permitting themselves to be gulled by said Meek. His insinuations about defrauding, need no reply—it is the stop thief cry to distract attention from his own bad doings—Meek put the finishing touch es upon bis own character, ours can not be stained by the base insinua tions of one whose word when upon oath honest people weuld hesitate to take. Meek's trick having been exposed and thwarted, the friends of our rail road maj now look for an energetic prosecution of the work.

Attested Murder of Two Hitter*—A Battb for Life. I l'oughkeepsie. March 7. —A terrible affair happened near MarlboioUj.li, ' Ulster County, this morning ui the house of George \N illiain I'urdy who 3 resides seven miles north of Newburg, e near the tirsl named place. W bile laboriug under temporary iuaauity Mr. Purdy made u desperate attempt to murder his two sisters, lte resided with his mother, .Mrs. Phmbe Purdy, and his sister, Miss Klisw Purdy He was ill from uu epileptic attack, and |iartially deranged. Auolher sis ter, Mrs. Anna Coukling, spent the uight at the homisUad to assit in taking car* of her brother. The three ladies occupied a led on the (100t 1 of the silting room. Purdy slept in a room opening into this room. At 4 •'clock this morning George entered the room occupied by the ladies and stopped the clock, sayiug that its tick ing annoyed him and prevented hi* sleeping. A few miuutes after return ing to his room he again entered the sitting-room and threw himself flat on the floor and remaiued motionless. The sisters took him up aud laid him on their bed aud then went iuto his room and occupi d his bed. The mother remaiued with him. Iu a few minutes he started up from the bed, seized a fire-shovel, and went to the room where the sisters were. Opening the doov he shouted : " I'm going t kill you both. The next place I will meet you is at the bar of God," and commenced striking them on the head with the 6hovel. Then throwing that dowu he seized each by the throat and tried to choke them to death. AfteJ a terrible struggle they freed them selves from bis grasp and escaped to the sitting-room. lie followed them and the struggle was renewed. The stove was overturned and the hous* was set on fire. At length the sisters succeeded in breaking away from the | maniac, Miss Purdy ruuning out ofi the front dooy aud M™* Coukling starting for a rear door. Purdy pur sued the latter, and having got a ra zor out of tbo bureau drawer, over took her just as she got outside of the doer. Here auother terrible struggle took plane, the madman endeavoring to cut his sister's throat and she bat tling for life. In the effort to get the razor from him she received two cuts, one in the right aim just missing the main artery and the other in the hand, but he drew the razor across her throat, makiug a terrible gash, laying bare the windpipe and the root of the tongue but missing the main arteries. While this struggle was going on Miss Purdy had run to the houses of several of the neighbors and alarmed them. The first one of them to reach the spot 1 was Daniel Vau Orsdall, who on hear- iug the alarm bad dresMtl himself as quickly as possible and followed Miss Purdy to the bouse. She reached it first and met the brother. Having, as he supposed, finished Mrs, Conk ling, ha attacked Hiss Purdy, and seising her by the hair of her head, threw her down on the ground. Mr. Van Orsdall coming up at this time, he knocked the brother down, and af ter another struggle mannged, with the help of his young sou and Mies I'urdy, to secure the madman. Hut it took their uuitod stre iglh to hold him, and ther feared that Mrs. Conk ling would bleed to death before other help could arrive. At length, how ever, mora of the neighbors came, George was tied, and Mrs. Conk ling was cared for. She had made her way iutothe house after receiving her wounds, and the sister knowing that the building was on fire, was afraid that her mother and sister would be burned up, but the flames were soon extinguished and all danger from that source was averted. In the course of the morning an officer arrived from A/arlborough—about a mile north of the scene of tragedy—and George was handcuffed. Ho went to bed and re | fused to sav a word to any one, but lay in the bed as if asleep. Tomor row he will be taken to the State Hospital at Poughkeepsie ■ ♦ • A Town Eiigulphed by an Karth quake. European mail advices state that the town of in the Cau casus, was almost entirely destroyed by a recent earthquake.
