De Forest contributes to the June num ber of the The Galaxy a capital sketch of the trials and aggravations of "Forced Marches" in Louisiana. The charming story by Mrs. Edwards ("Stephen Lawrence") rei.ching its conclusion in this number, a good and warmly-appreciative notice of it Is furnished to the reviewingeolumns by Mr. Eugene Benson. Captain Mayne Reid describes the Mexican peasantry in "Jarocho Life." Miss Pheibe Cary's poem we publish in another column. The continuation of Marion ilarland's story, "Beechdale," is illustrated by Winslow Homer. We would remind this artist—though no one knows the fact better than he—that it is not enough for a draughtsman of originality to simply seek an.. common attitudes and foreshortening ; unless these odd situations are thoroughly worked out, so as to make the effect as simple to the specta tor's eye as the ordinary standing or profile fig ures of second-rate designers, he gains nothing by his courage. The other illustrations, though really betraying greater poverty of conception, are more agreeable; and the whole series of illus trations to the Galaxy, well diversified and admi rably engraved, places the magazine at the head of illustrated periodical literature in this country. Published by Sheldon it Co. The June number of the New Eclectic Is made up of selections from the better English periodi cals (so translations this month) and one from an American magazine—the entertaining article on the Court of the Tulleries,in last month's Lippin cott. Notwithstanding the spirited character of this particular dipping, we feel like warning the compilers of the New Eclectic to carry on their depredations a little further from home ; the expanded circulation of the first-class Ameri can monthlies renders it supererogatory to re hash their contents in compilations of which the New Eclectic is a specimen. We are saying nothing against the intrinsic merit of the selec ,tions made by this magazine, which are varied and attractive, and the booty of a cultivated taste. The greatest curiosity introduced is "The Dexterous Wedding," scissored from "Once a Week," and said to be a genuine translation from Chinese comedy. An instructive feature in the New Eclectic is the:selection of critical paragraphs from the best reviews of the day upon literature and science.

(From the Cincinnati Chronicle. of the 14th.] En.t.snono, 0., May 13.-3 cold-blooded mur der was perpetrated here at an early hour this morning. The victim was a perfectly harmless and respectable colored man by the name of William Tate. It appears; from all we can learn of the affair, and from*the evidence adduced at the Coroner's inquest, that some difficulty has existed between the deceased and another colored man by the name of Derrltt Goons, in relation to the wife of the latter, who was also related to the deceased. Goons has frequently threat ened to kill or otherwise injure Tate, and the evening before the consummation of his hellish designs, he told some lof his friends that he was going to kill him, and in accordance with the expressed determination, he repaired to Tate's residence this morning, at an early hour, and commenced the attack by stoning the house; and when the old man wont out to remonstrate with him, ho attacked him with a long knife, and stabbed him to the heart, killing him almost in stantly. He then mounted his horse and fled for the country. The officers, as soon as informed of the murder, started in pursuit, and he, finding escape impossible, came in and gave him self up. It was evident, from a deep gash in the prisoner's neck, that he had attempted suicide. The evidence against the prisoner is overwhelm ing and irresistible, and he was hold for trial at the next torm of Court. A strong feeling of in dignation is expressed against the prisoner. He has heretofore had the reputation of being a dan gerous man, ho having, at some previous time, shot and severely wounded his son-in-lasf. The murdered man has always borne a good charac ter, and was seventy years of ago. Diplomatic Correspondence Detvveeit roe Motorman Minister and the Chilean Government. VALPARASIO, April 9, 1868.—The only Item of news that has transpired here since my letter of the 8d instant bas been the• Publication of late utploruatie correspondence between our Minister, General Kilpatrick, and the Chilean Government respecting the Spanish-American question. As will be seen by this correspondence, Spain has rejected the modifications proposed by the allies. and the mediation of the United States in the war seems to be about to terminate, little comment has been caused by the appearance of this response of Spain, and coupled .with the active operations of that government In her marine department, it has given rise to some apprehension of a return of the Spanish fleet with hostile purposes to the Facile. Those hest informed on the subject, however, are of the opinion that the war is ended and that' Spain will not molest this coast again very soon. 1 do not think there is the slightest cause for un easiness in this respect. Valparaiso and Callao are already so well fortified that none but a very formidable iron-clad squadron could attack those cities without great risk of destruction. The Spanish question has become a thing of the past, and will in all probability remain in its present condition for a long time to come, until years shall have effaced the bitter memories of the blockade and bombardment and diplomatic agents can settle the affair. The following is the corres pondence referred to : nayl6-2t . ; LETTER. 01 3IINISTEE IMPATTsICK LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, SANTIAGO, Chile, March 18, 1868.—T0 his Excellency Senor Pon F. Vargas Fonterilla, ifinister of Relations of the Republic of Chile—f3Eson : On the 2.3 d of January, 1867, I had the honor to lay before your Excellency a proposition from the government of the United States of mediation oetween the allied republics of this coast and Splint. The reply of tLe government of Chile to that proposition was forwarded by the President of the United States - to the Spanish government, which has just given a formal answer to the morn tications suggested by the allied powers. My government informs me that this answer is ?'that Spain cannot , concur in the modifications which the allied republics propose, and that these modifications are regarded as antagonistic to the project which was initiated by this government for the -cetlement of peace." . The Spanish government, uowevcr, leaves it for the United States to deter mine when the good offices which they have been ,:onducting between the belligerents shall cease. .1 now have the hcnor to submit for the conside ration of the government of Chile the question whether she desires to make any further commu nication to the United States in promoting a concurrence of views. Should the allied repub ics answer in the negative, the President of the United States on receiving information to that fleet will announce to the several belligerents cis conviction that the good offices of the United States by way or mediation may be re gat ded as no longer promising a favorable conclu ion, and that these good of:4es may on both aides be regarded as coming to an end. I avail myself of this occasion to renew the assurances of the distinguished consideration with which I am your Excellency's obedient ser vant,J. KILPATRICK. HEFLY OF THE CHILEAN tINISTER FOR FOREIGN SANTIAGO, March 24, Ib6B—Sir: I have had the honor, to receive the note of the 19th inst. which 3 our Excellency has been pleased to address mo informing me of the answer given to the govern went of the United States by that of Spain re -pecting the modifications proposed by the allied republics to the basis of arrangement presented by your Excellency's government. In this con nection your Excellency inquires if my govern ment desires to communicate anything more to hat of the United States respecting this subject ,or the purpose of-.- promoting a concurrence of views, and state that in case of a negative the government of your Excellency will consider as terminated the good offices which it has been employing to attain pewee by means of meditation. In acknowledging the receipt of the note above veferred to I should lav before your Excellency that, Chili being united to the other republics by a compact of plliance, it would be impossible for my government to de liberate by itself alone in a matter of such gravity sad to give to your Excellency a definite answer. For the present, without doubt, it will comply with the duty incumbent upon it to transmit, as in brief it is about to do, the note of your Excel lency for the information'of the allies, and to promote among alLthe - cenfederate republics an unanimity upon the noint which your Excellency submits to their consideration; and as soon as Le common views of all of them may be known I shall, for my part, make it my duty to reply Lo the Inquiry which your Excellency addresses me. In the meantime I am gratified to manifest to your Excellency the gratitude of my Govern ment for the constant efforts of the United Btates to attain by means of its friendly offices the re establishment of peace. I improve this oppor tunity to reiterate to your Excellency the assu rances of the distinguished consideration with which I have the honor to be your Excellency's attentive find faithful servant, F.

Jan. 2,2, 1866.—T0 His Highness Maxinnlian--Sia: I send you this to let you know that if you do not leave Mexico by the Ist of March with all your troops, it will be my duty to bring you here and chain you with Jeff Davis and some of his associates in the capitol, as it is the will of God. I shall do it, for I want you to understand that I am only an instrument in the hands of God for the purpose of doing His will on earth as it is done in Heaven, and turn this world into a heaven by chaining all devils that are not disposed to obey Christian laws. The reason I send you this is, I have my ordpre direct from God himself He tellsru e you are wrong in taking the position you have now. Sir, to let you know who I am, I will tell you. lam the conquerer of the rebellion. I have laid all the strategic plans for the army. I was .President Lincoln's private Secretary of War, and also the secretary of God, and a spiritual medium. I gave unto President Lincoln all the plans in full for ending the war, and in such a way to end all wars forever, by chaining all devils. I presume you will understand that when, we get Jeff Davis and his mock Congressmen, General Lee, James Buchanan and some of the piratical captains chained in the Capitol. and all guerillas and other desperadoes with a ball and chain on their leg, and set them at work digging down mountains and making roads, I am to be crowned as lord of all, and thus by taking Queen of England_ whom I am engaged to, for a wife, we unite England and America together. Now, sir, if you are a rational man instead of a crazy devil like Jeff Davis you can see the sitU ation you will be placed in ifyon remain in Mex., leo after the first of March, 1866, for you may de pend upon it I will bring yon here and chain you with Jeff. Davis and his associates, for I can do as God directs me when I am lord of all; and you , must know that when we unite England and America both will come against them, and IC the monarch does not lose his head or., his life we shall put him , In the lunatic asylum and chain' him with Jeff: Davisand his accomplices la crime, By Ws hope you will be rational enough to`see the ne eeesity of-retiring with all your forees to Franco, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.

MBA• The Amman on the American Consul• HAVANA, May Bth, 1868.—The dastardly assault on the. American Consul continues to occupy a large share of public attention. Owing to the absence of Captain-General Lersundi the affair has been allowed thus far to pass with compara tive impunity for the assailant. The authorities now ruling have been sly enough to lend all their influence toward having the attack viewed as a simple personal quarrel—au affray between indi viduals about which neither the American nor Spanish Government can make a question of in ternational dispute, albeit both parties held of from their respective Governments. Garcia was simply arrested, and after three days' confinement was released Con bail, the Judge who had the case under advisement having decided that since no blood was drawn it was simply a case of assault, and the accused, therefore, entitled to ball. I need scarcely tell you that the American Consul - does notaccept the view of the preeent authorities. Ho justly maintains that an attack upon him In the passage way of the American consulate,for a report made by him as American Consul in the regular line of his duties, Is something more than a mere per sonal matter or simple dispute between indivi duals. He is awaiting the return of Captain- General Ler:.undi, expected on the 9th or 10th, and the instructions of Mr. Howard before taking decided steps. I understand that nothing short of a reprimand of Garcia and his immediate dis missal from his position of shipping-master will satisfy Mr. de la Reintree, even as preliminaries to a settlement of the affair. The Mewing% 'opera Troupe—Suit Against Miss ittiebengs. The following account of the suit of Miss Laura Waldron against Miss Richings is taken from the S. Y. World of to-day: Minton COVET—Before Judge Alker.—Laura Waldron vs. Caroline Richings. The trial of this action, which is brought to recover $lOO for ser vices as assistant prima donna in the "Ricbings Opera Troupe," in Boston, in December, 1867, under an alleged engagement for the season,. was concluded yesterday, with the exception of !the rendition of the verdict ol the jury. Upon the opening of the Court, the testimony for the de fence was continued, and the first witness called was Augustus S. Pennoyor. He testified, that be was the business manager of Miss Richings, and had been so for the, past two years; he stated what tookplace at intervals between himself and Miss Waldron's father in regard to her making an engagement in connection with the troupe, and three letters subsequently received by him from Mr. Waldron were given in evidence; previous' to the debut in Philadelphia bothitir. Waldron and. the daughter came to him and said she was in ill health and they didn't think she would make the hit they expected ; he spoke of the members of the press, and desired witness to make the excuse that she bad been ill ; and prepare the critics for such a thing ; I gave him (said the witness) the name of the critic of the Age, inquirer and Bulletin, and one or two other papers; I think, I afterwards saw some of the editors myself, and told them Miss Waldron had been quite ill and they must be lenient towards her in their notices. Mr, Furlong—l object to a statement of what he said to the editors. Mr. Crook—This was at the request of Mr Waldron. The Court admitted the testimony. Witness—The names of the critics were Mr. Anderson, of the Age, Mr. Cunnington,•of the Inquirer, and Mr. Leland, of the Press: don't think Igave Mr. Waldron the nameofa - the latter. ( Q. Was it understood between yourself and ldr. Waldron that the trial in Philadelphia was to be the only trial? A. I didn't understand any thing of the kind, and no such thing was ex pressed between us;l received this letter from Mr. Waldron in Boston before plaintiff made her ap pearance in Arline in the "Bohemian Girl!" there. In the letter, which was read, Mr. Waldron re quests that in announcing his daughter in Boston, they would not make any statement that would cause the public to expect much from her, as she was far from well, and very weak, and the Boston people were very critical on musical mat ters, and asked that in naming her in the pro gramuses, etc., they would be kind enough to speak of her as youthful, Pole state that it was her second appetuaiocb only. The witness, con tinuing, said the Engi.sh o . . , ara Troupe as con ducted by afal Riahini:,,had performed in Phila delphia at various times and lad always been favorably receiv,al; they had per::::tned only one (awagerucue at Boston and we% 'than successful there. Q. Did you do anything towards pr-apaiing the Boston people for her reception .t liar second trial? A. Yes, sir, I thiro: 1 did Bailie . to prepare the public mind; on the receipt of his letter I called upon some of the members of the press and stated to them that I thought she would suit (I judged from what her father had stated, though a member of the troupe told me she was a dead failure), and I asked them to act fairly by bar; they said they would do the best they could for her. Q. L want to know if anything was - done by you with reference to the audience that evening, m Boston; did you witness the performance? A. Yes. sir, I heard her sing; I was all over the h Q. went from pose art A. to another. For what pu To witness the suc cess of the lady, if there was any. Q. Was there any success? A. There was con siderable applause by people whom I put in the house to do it. Q. Was her appearance a success? A. I don't think it was; it failed in the general approbation of the audience; the general expression was that it was a failure; I had a conversation with Miss Richiugs the next morning, and then I saw Mr. Waldron; I asked him if he thought his daughter had achieved a success; he said, "Yes, most decidedly;" I said I did not; ho asked why, and seemed surprised; I told him I judged from what I had heard among the audience, and that the manager would not let me put her on the bills, and had blamed mo for putting her on at all; at that time Mr. Diedrick, the leader of the orchestra, came into the room; I asked him if I had conversed with him previ ously in reference to Miss Waldron, and ho said no; then I asked him to tell Mr. Waldron his can did opinion of her; ho said, "If I must tell you, send her to school, for she is not at all suitable for the position, and she has many years to study before olio can eitianot to succeed;" then Mr. 'Hed rick said her voice was not strong enough; that her physique was not suitable. Cross-examination:--I have been theatrical agent for fifteen years; have no musical expo. ridnee except as manager. • Q. Was anything said between you and Mr. Waldron contrai7to there being but ono trial of the young fudy7; j. don't remember anything Of the kinds . • .• Q. Was there snithing.in your arrangement with Mr. Waldron In reference to - haying a ea cond trial? A. IslotbA4 Q. Did you call critic:(, of the Philadel. I ghla papers? A. I'd; sir, I Mot some.'theta; ad a conversation petit the CHM of thg'Enening Telegraph, and begged his kind offices for Miss Waldron on account of her sickness. Q. Is it not customary in your profe6sion to call upon the critics or editors of the various papers In reference to debutante? A. Yes, sir, sometimes. Q. And is it not customary also to ask their kind officcs and request that they do not "View them with a critic's eye, But pass their imperfections by?" A. Yea sir, bat it is not customary to ask for leniency on account of sickness. Q. In the Boston theatre did Mr. Waldron rer quest you to pack the house, or place in the house persons to applaud this young lady? A. He did not. Q. Is it customary in the Richings troupe to put persons in the house to applaud? A. No sir, we never do so except Lithe case of doubtful do butants: I didn't place anybody in the theatre; they were in already; the officers, ushers and li bretto boys applauded; they applauded about every time my self orlather gave them the cue; the father was about the nolaieat one of the lot, and I made as much noise as he; It was not a very good house; there may have been twelve hundred people; there were about twenty of the ushers, dm., who applauded. ' Q. How many of the audience applauded? A. One man's applause would start the whole house, and she received considerable applause in that way. Q. If you were In a theatre upon the appear ance of a debntant and you applauded as well as the rest of the audience, would you attribute the general applause to the fact of your having ap plauded? A. I would attribute it to my appbuse and to that of other fools who began it. Q. You call yourself a fool then? A. I would be foolish in that; I gave directions to the men to applaud whenever they saw me applaud. Pierre Bernard, the next witness, testified that he was the husband of Miss Richings, and was a member of the opera troupe, as tenor singer; witnessed the debut of plaintiff at Philadelphia, from the dress circle; thought her performance was very bad indeed; heard remarks trom the au dience to that effect, applauded her singing; saw her appearance in Boston, and heard disparaging rt marks In tm the audience. Cross-examination —I saw Miss Richings after the performance in Philadelphia on the same evening. Q.—How long after? A.—Not very long; I was courting her at the time. LLaughterd In Philadelphia her first song at the opening of the F.( ennd act was encored; that song is always en cored. Q.L—Was she applauded much? A.—Much to my astonishment she was very much applauded; I congratulated her upon her success at the close of the performance. The evidence for the de fence here closed, and then Mr. and Mies Wal dron and Miss Richings were called to give re hntfine. tsstimony. The Judge, in charging the jury, stated that the question in the case was one of fact for them to consider. If they found, as the plaintiff alleged, that an engagement was made after the debut at Philadelphia, then the plaintiff was entitled to re cover for the time she was in Boston. If they found there was no engagement, and that plain tiff was still on trial when she went to Boston, they must find for the defendant. If they found for plaintiff she was entitled to recover $lOO and her expenses to New York. The jury not having agreed upon a verdict an hour after they had retired, the counsel consented to receive a sealed verdict on Monday. POLITICAL Pennsylvania. 'State eianday-School Convention.
