( onkling used to denounce the mvth

never was such prompt submission to it
as Conk himself showed up north the

* The king killers seem to be after th.
Pope now, no doubt for the sake of va
riety, and to break in on the monotony
of slaying kings. A telegram from Rome
says the Pope has received an anonv

against attempts to poison hnn. The
letter contains so many references t >
the Pope's private life it is belieeed it
was posted in America merely as j
blind. An investigation is in progress.

In Rhode Island, a republican state,
no naturalized foreigner can vote unle**
be owns real estate to the amount o
$134. borne of these naturalized for
eigners have served through the war, yet
can not vote because they are poor. Yet
in this same state a negro can vote if he
has property that pays a tax of only one
dollar. And this is in a freedom shriek
ing radical state of the north, where au
ignorant negro, with scarce any proper
ty whether he was a soldier or not. is
placed above an intelligent, naturalized
white foreigner eTen if he served
through the war, but is too poor,to uw u
real estate.
The peace of Enrope seems to be
hangs over again, and a little war cloud
threatens Russia and Germany, the
matterings of which have been going on
for several weeks. A dispatch dated St
Petersburg, Aug. 21 says an immense
sensation has been caused by the simul
taneous publication of articles in the
Jfofiru, the AYuu-j, Vrem, i and the <>■- '
bitterly denouncing Germany and ac
cusing Prince Bismarck of giving a
moral support to Count Andrassy, with
the view of providing a basis for a fu
ture Central European coalition against
Russia. General Todieben, who haa re
cently been sent to Poland and entrust
ed with the chief military command
there, has been instructed to take all
possible precautions for strengthening
the fortresses.
• The friends of Gen. Grant who are
pushing him upon public notice for the
Presidency, are not disposed to accept
his declination poured in confidence in
to the ears of the viceroy of Tientsin
and John Kusaell Young. They pro
pose to go right ahead with the boom
nd regard the interview as of no im
portance as reflecting the sentiment of
the great traveler. He has never been
> known to decline anything but the bull
pup, and rs tb&t unusual proceedings
was traceable to the fact that expretx
charges followed it is not regarded by
those who are intimately acquainted
with Grant as a precedent. The candi
dacy of Sherman does not in the least
degree f ighten them, as they reason
that it only divides the opposition and
g.v the greater opportunity
to carry the convention by storm.
General Butler has found out that
there are more political Pharisees to the

"Are you armeu, sir?" and Conkling
replied, "No, I'm not!" "'lpcp," said
exxGovernor Sprague, "I w ill giyou
five minutes to get ofl these prei/uses,
and if you are not avray I will fire at
you." And the daughter of Chief-Jus
tice Chase stood between her husband,
the ex-millionnaire and ex-Governor of
Rhode Island, on the one side, and her
friend, the leader of the Republican par
ty and the fierce hater of Southern res
Bpectability on the other, and then or
dered her children and her trunks to be
sent to her at the hotel. And now we
cay had this thing happened at the
South and among Southern people,
there would be no end of gratuitous in
sults heaped upoa us by Senator Conk

have been told by a million or Northern
voices to mend our plantation man

The shot-gun policy has spread from
Rhode Island to Sati Francisco, after a
display in loyal Kansas. 1 and resulted
in the shooting of Rev. I. h. Kolloeb,
the workingmen'scandidate for mayor,
by Cbaa. IV Young, who made threats
that he would force Kellock to with
draw. The greatest excitement prevail
ed in the city and the military had to
tw- called out to prevent a fcarfhl riot, a*
the workingmen's party were fearfully
aroused by the shooting of their eandt
date, and turned out by thousand* to
avenge the shooting. I*e Noting wa*
placed in a fort for safety and strongly
guarded. The workiugmen could not

RARER * MURDERERS.
-EXTKNCKf) TO UX.VTU —WISE WAXES A VOX
FVKSIOX or OTBEB cMlMt*.
Lebanon, l'a., August 1?. —lour of the
murderers of Joseph Ruber, who was
drowned in a small stream in this coun
ty last September, in order tha' the
*lO,l GO insurance on his life might In
-ecured, were sentenced to be hanged
to-day. It was ext>ecteJ until tin*
morning that Henry F. Wise, also con
victed of participation in the murder,
would be scntenceo with the re- - .. But
judgement was suspended in b.s case
because of important revelations he had
made to the District-Attorney ami two
f the commonwealth's lawyer-. Wise
was seated among his atvomphf*. but
unlike them had bis fare buried in his
hands during the progress of the } r -
i codings. The names of the murderers
sentenced are Charles Drews, Frank
-tichler, Josiah Hnmmcl an I Israel
Brandt. Drews and Mich ler, who were
employed to drown Kaber and wbo per
lonned the work, protested their inno
tence, and Brandt, who is believed to
have been the main instigator of the
crime, and Hummel aaiJ they had noth
ing to say at this time, bat would speak
when the proper tim* came. All re
eived their sentences with that stoical
indifference which characterised their
conduct during the trial. Wise, who is
a great coward, has been induced to
make a confession in the hope that the
Mate Board of Fardons w ill recommend
him ta the favorable consideration of
tne Governor and that the latter will
respect its action. W iSe's confession,
which is of great length, reveals a large
number of crimes of which tbo authori
ties had no knowledge, such as murders
and robberies, lie claims to have had
uo connection with the Kaber murder
but admits that he had been in the orig-i
inal plot to get the old man out of way
by another method than drowning. IK
thought that the idea of murdering Ka
ber had been abandoned, Drews, who
was to play the principal part, having so
informed him. Wise implicates an old
man not yet arrested in the crime and
gives minute details of the actions of the
men in the neighborhood where the
murder was done in their efforts to ac
quire wealth by insuring persons and
then killing them. He also discloses
numerous robberies committed by the
gang of which he was a member. His
confession is very damaging to Zech
man, one of the alleged murderers of
Kaber, who was recently granted a new
trial.

Prof. Falb, a native of Gralz, in Aus
tria, who ha* been in Peru lor the pur
pose f study ing the earthquake phenome
non of that country, has reached San
Francisco. He predicted an earthquake
in Lima on the 2d of June last, and
promptly to the tinia tb city w-as con
vulsed with the most severe shock f- It by
the inhabitants during the past decade.
While in Peru the I'r ifesaor visited the
famous fortress at Tiabuanuco, and found
upon one of the gateways of the temple
hieroglyphics which made it certain to hi
raind that that portion of the fortress at
lea.-l had been built at a period anterior to
that'of the Incas. Ho aba found conclu
sive evidence upon the arch of the gate
way tb'at the builders wr o vern-J in the
mystic lore of Masonry. Professor 1 alb
a'-o noted a most marked resem
blance between the language of the In
dians of Peru and Bolivia and the dia
-cU used by the Bedouins of the desert.
He is, in fact, a lirm believer that Peru
was settled by voyagers from Tyre or sonic
of the Pbu-nician htates. Professor Falb

tigating the earthquake phenomena of the
Pacific coast.
