AN EDITOR ASSASSINATED."
Col. John Wilder Shot Down in Kansas
City Without n Word of Warning..
I From thejlansas City ( Mo.) Journal, Mitrchit).l
,is with:feelings of the most intense horror
and indignation that we chronicle the brutal '
and unprovoked murder of Colonel John Wil
der, senior editor of the Journal, yesterday, in
broad daylight.
As far as we can gather the facts, Colonel
Wilder was standing at the northeast end of
the hallway which runs through the Court
House, in conversation With Mell H. Hudson,
the City Clerk. The murderer, James H.
Hutchinson, engaged in a conversation with
Mr. ,Sol S. , Smith, and pointing to Mr.
Hudson and Colonel Wilder, asked if
"that - man was not Wilder ?" Mr. Smith
told him he did not knorv. He then
drew a revolver from his breeches pocket,
cocked it under his coat, and walked rapidly
toward Col. Wilder and Mr. Hudson. When
within about sixteen feet of them he muttered,
"Now, sir, defend yourself," and fired, the ball
striking Col. Wilder in the breast, and travel
ing in a diagonal direction toward the heart.
Col. Wilder did not at first seem to realize that
he was mortally wounded, as he walked
through the hall toward the Recorder's room,
where two gentlemen, one of whom. be recog
nized and called by name, assisted him into
the City Attorney's office, in the northwest
corner of the Court-house. Here he was laid
on the floor, and Drs. Bennett, Morris, Porter,
Dickson and Woodson, were speedily in attend
ance. Their skilful efforts, however,were of no
avail, for in about twenty minutes he breathed
his last.
After firing the , fatal' shot, the -murderer
cocked pistol a second time. OfficerslO'Hare
and Halpin, and Marshal Keck beard the shot
and advanced to arrest Hutchinson, who re
treated a few steps and pointed his revolver,
but Officer Halpino - clasping him from behind,
he was secured before he could do further
mischief. He was taken into the Recorder'S
Court room and searched, when two revolvers
were taken from him. He was then; to keep
him from the crowd, taken down stairs and
locked up: The pistol with which the murder
was committed is of the old Smith & Wesson
pattern, Pond's make, a six-shooter. All the
ehrimbers were loaded, and only one was dis-
charged.
Col. Wilder was born in Concord, Mass.,
about 1836. He entered Union College, at
Schenectady, N. Y., where he was graduated
with high honor in 1857. He was subsequently
graduated at the Harvard Law School,and prac
ticed law in Btiston and vicinity until the
breaking out of the war. In the year 1862 he
entered the army as a private in a Massachu
setts regiment, but was rapidly promoted until
he attained the rank of colonel—He was at one
time in command at Key West, Florida. After
the close of the war he remained awhile in
North Carolina, in the practice , of his profes
sion, where be met with signal success. In
February, 1867, he came to Kansas City,
where he has since resided. Soon after his ar
rival he purchased this paper and became its
editor. From that time to this his history and
labors have been part of the history andlabors
of this growing city, and are well known. He
held the position of Professor of Medical Ju
risprudence in the College of Physicians and
Surceons, and delimed the opening address at
the inauguration of that enterprise. With
larg,er possibilities and promise he has been
suddenly cut off in his early manhood, and the
work he stood ready, to do for us now seeks
other hands.

Committee appointed by the House in the early.
part of the session, to ascertain whether the
funds of the State Treasurer had been mis
managed, and whether corruption had been
used to elect a State Treasurer. They said
that 'a Senate Committee had been busy in
ascertaining the facts about the State Treasury,
and that it had not been possible for the House
Committee to fix the charge of corruption upon
any person in connection with the election.of
State Treasurer. The Committee offered a
resolution appropriating nine hundred dollars
to pay their expenses, which was laid over.

Come to the table either burnt or raw ;
To cut the wretched trash is bard enough,
Spare us at least a little of thy jaw.

The Rule of the Monk ; or, Rome in the
Nineteenth Century.„ By General Garibaldl.---
At first sight , this piece of rhndomontade is a
not very different performance from the per- •
formances of Emerson Bennett and Sylvanus
Cobb, Jr. There are the same abductions,
romantic flights, superb. brigands, and heroic
stage-battles: CliaPters bear such romantic
and liquorish headings as The Conspiracy,
The Beautiful Stranger, The Subterranean
Passage, The Spy in Venice, or The Cairolis
and their Seventy Companions. The..lovely
daughter° of the strong-armed sculptor loses
ensnared by the beastly Cardinal Procopio.This
monster's penultimate victim meanwhile goes
mad upon his slaughtering his and her child,
and is not rescued from the dungeons beneath
the convent but at an immense fictive ex
pense of toreblight,winding stairs,torture-cham
hers filled with corpses, profligate abbesses, et
ccetera. in short, there is the whole machinery
come down from Otranto, in its oiliest and
glibbest condition. Adventures do very strong
could only appeal, to a reader unambitious : of
being harrowed, if set forth in a style of some
distinction, or else If interspersed with a good
deal of didaCtic matter which might be sup
posed personal to the writer. But the distinc
tion has in translation completely vanished
from Garibaldi's prose,and even his philosophy
is set forth in a style that is a kind of travesty
of the letters which come from time to' time
out of Victor Hugo's inkpot,—just as we have
noticed in Garibaldi's manifesto and broad-,
side eloquence a gaudy imitation
of Napoleon Bonaparte. The book, we ought
to say, Improves as It goes forward, and it gives
the reader's blood a sort of heroic shock to re
member that the insurrectionary action of Oc
tober, 1867, with which the tale concludes—
however incoherently narrated, and however
redolent of a kind of N. Y. Ledger sublimity
—is actually for better for worse the rehearsal of
the hero of it, who calls himself theatrically The
Recluse. An Appendix contains an interesting
but too oratorical account of the Montana
campaign by Ricciotti Garibaldi. This book
must be read with a little cosmopolitan charity;
in it, as in the Italian railway-carriage in which
we traveled with him three years ago, Gari
baldi drapes himself, and red-shirts himself,
.and velvet-caps himself, a good deal too much
for a strict Saxon taste; bitt we should re
member that it is an Italian appealing to the
people of Italy. The hero is best as an author in
passages like the following:
GARIBALDI ON ARMY PANICS
On the other band, bow contagious is fear. I
have seen whole'armies seized by a terrible
panic in open day at a cry of " Escape who
can ;" " Cavalry;" " The enemy," or even
the sound of a few shots—an army that had
fought, and would again tight, patiently and
gallantly.
Fear is shaareful and degrading, and I think
the southern' nations of Europe are more
liable to it than the cooler and more serious
peoples of the north ; but never may I see an
Italian ai my succumb to that sudden ague-lit
which kills the mon, even though he seems to
save his lite thereby !
ABANDONMENT OF THE WOUNDED.
And the wounded? At ! if there be a cir
cumstance that is hamm lug and terrible in
those butcheries of men called "battles," it is
certainly that of abandoning one's own
wounded to.the enemy!
Poreri ! L, one moment the faces of your
friends—of your brothers, who bewailed your
hurt, who tended you with such gentleness,
will disappear, to be succeeded by. the revolt
ing, horrible, and triumphant faces of the mer
cenalies. At the best they will be brutal.; at
the worst, they, infringing every right of war
and of people, will sleep their base bayonets in
your precious blood !
tits ovi 0; or THE DUEI.I.O.
What shall we say of duelling? 1 have al
ways thought it, disgraceful that men cannot
come to an understanding without killing one
another. But, on the other hand, it is not
time for us, who are still oppressed by the pow
erful of the earth, still the despised of Europe,
to preach individual or general peace, to advo
cate the forgiveness of privase outrages, when
we tue often so publicly outraged. Wei :Who'
are trampled upon in our rights, our con
sciences, our honor, by the vilest section of
our nation—we, who, hr order to be allowed
life, consideration and protection, are com
pelled to debase ourselves, must not quite
despoil ourselves of our one protection!
Away with duelling, - then, when we
shall have, a lloestitution a well-organized
Government—when we shall enjoy our rights
within as well as without, ; but, in the present
dangerous times for honor and right, we can
not proclaim peace.
' HUMAN AMELIORATION.
I who write this am well persuaded of the
truth of the perpetual amelioration of the hu
man race. lam wholly opposed to the - cynic
and the pessimist, and believe with all my heart
and soul in the law of human progress by vari
ous agencies, under many fornis, and with
many necessary interruptions. Providence has
willed that happiness shall be the final end of
this sad planet, and suffering race; but its de
crees work slowly, and only by the submission of
mankind to the higher law of light is happiness
attainable. Not by miracles will men become
regenerated. Voltaire has well said—
,' J'en - ai vaincu plus d'un, je n'ai force per
. sonne,
Et le vial Dieu, won ills,
Est un Dieu qui pardomie."
If humanity does not improVn along with
the progress of knowledge, as it:sbould do, : the
fault must lie with the various',. gpVeminents,
for with kind treatment and jodlcions care,
even the wild beasts of the,. forest: become do
mesticated, and their fierce .pasSions are tamed.
What, then, may we not , accomplish with the
very lowest grade.of mankind?

an unrighteous foreign tyrant, we dare not, for
fear of him, walk ahout in our own homes, tell
the world we are our own masters,or tear from
our wrists the fetters which he has fixed there ;
and, more humiliating and degrading still, he
has left the prey, which the indignation of the
world forbade his appropriating, and has said,
" Keep her, cowards ; become cut-throats in
my stead; but beware of meddling with my
will !"

COLLAPSE OF TUE
KS AT NA BUFFO !WILLA
BANPLES.
We htwie at various times, says the Pall
Mall Gazette, given a warning account of the
Buffo Scilla banks. The following letter from
one of our describes the burst
ing of the bubble :
FLORENCE, Sunday, Feb. 20. The great
subject of conversation here is the catastrophe
of the banks at Naples, of which your readers
have doubtless heard something already. The
first of these establishments was opened some
time back by a certain M. Run •Scilla, whose
success was such that he had soon as many, as
eighty imitators. For a time 'everything went
on swimmingly. Fifteen per cent. per month
was the, least that was Offered to the deposi
tors; those who were last in the field vying for
the favor of their dupes by even still more
magnificent promises. It is true that seve
ral journals from the first called the
whole scheme by its right name,
warned the police to be vigilant, and.
implored the interference of the Government to
save the people from their own folly. Still a
large portion of the public preferred to believe
the bankers; the depoSits went on increasing;
and the very evening before the bubble burst
worthy people could be heard condemning the
conduct of the press as an unfair attack on
the credit of a man who was enriching his
countrymen in the easiest and most agreeable
manner possible. It was true the profits
offered seemed large, and, if you choose to say
so, incredible; but not more so than the re
sources and the genius of M. Scilla. The next
'nothing came the news that M. Scilla was,
with his comrade Costa, in his proper place,
in gaol. Of his eighty competitors forty have
been already arrested, eight are in hiding, and
the rest for the time continue their payments
- underthe - strict surveillance of the police. The
sums intrusted to the banks are said to have
amounted to nearly 3,000,0001. sterling, the
moneys seized to about 300,0001.
The telegrams which had been sent to the.
provinces began to produce 'their effect on
Wednesday, by the arrival of crowds of depo
sitors-in the,city, hoping to save something out
of the wreck of their little fortunes. In-some
districts the number of the travelers was so
large that two engines had to he put on to the
trains, just as is the case on the occasion of a
grand spectacle at Naples. All these country
people,
as fast they arrived, took their stand
round the offices of the defaulting banks, and
could be seen, with countenances of stupid
despair, gazing upon the scene of their mis
fortune. Among them were a number of
women who, unknown to their
husbands, had in vested the family
funds intrusted to their keeping, and
whose distraction was. aggravated. .by the
thought of the reception that the news of the
loss would procure them at home. In many
of the groups priests predominated ; indeed, it
was reported that in many villages no mass
was said oil Wednesday, owing to the absence
of all the clergy in Naples, Aud what perhaps
gives as vivid an idea of the extent of the dis
aster, is the fact that the theatre of San Carlos
was closed for the evening, owing to the Ce
trona being taken with convulsions on learning
the loss of a considerable sum which she had
placed in the hands of M. Scilla. The same is
said to have been the case with most of the
other performers of this theatre,iol which M.
Scilla was part proprietor, the dancers included.
The carabineers stationed round the offices
of the arrested bankers have hitherto prevented
any but isolated acts of popular vengeance.
The cashier of Id. Scilla, who, from the condi
tion of a petty tobacconist, had in a short time
attained to competency, was recognized in the
street by some of the victims of his employer,
and met with a perhaps not' unmerited beating ;
after which another body proceeded to the
lodgings of one of the bankers who has es
caped, and, not finding him within, thrashed
his porter, The police had also to rescue a
collector who, on presenting himself at the
Bourse, was greeted with cries of " Out with
the swindlerl out with the robberl"—cries
which were quickly followed by personal vio
lence. • .
The arrest of Baron de Cunctis, one of the
bankers, was made with some ingenuity. Sur
prised in his house by the police, he found
time to escape by the balcony. The authori
ties instantly sent to the house of his mistress,
whom they found in her drawing-room, with
thiee gentlemen, all of whom denied' : any
knowledae of the Baron de Cetuctis." - . The
agents, with a profusion of txpaies, asked
leave to, search _ the. gentlemen's.:pockets :,:in
those of the first they. finind nothing, in those
of the second only a few francs,but on the third
were discovered bills to the amount of 6,000/.
I , You must be De Cunctis," said the officer'
so he was.
Years andlEeap Years..
'The year 1000 will not be a leap year. 1800
and 1004 will be leap years. To explain this
we must give a short account of the change of
style in the calendar eflected by Pope Gregory
Mil. Ile found that the error of eleven
minutes in the Julian calendar had amounted
to ten days. lie therefore ' deducted ten days
in October, 1582, and, to prevent a recurrence
of the error, it was ordered that every year
ending a century should not be considered a
leap year; except the multiples of the year 400.
Thus, 1(100 was a . leap year, but 1700 was not,
nor - 1:00; nor will 100014; but 2,000 wilt be a
leap year, and' every 400th year after it. In
England and America the Gregorian calendar
was not adopted until 1752; consequently
with us 1700 was not a leap year and we were
eleven days out. These were substracted, and
at the time the measure enacting the altera
tion caused considerable uneasiness, and some
few riots among the poorer people, who could
not comprehend the matter, and raised the cry
of "Give tis back our eleven days!" The
Greeks and Russians still retain the old style;
so that there is now a difference of twelve days
between their date and ours, because they
have considered 1700 and 1804 as leap years.
The term " bissextile," as applied to the
leap year, was given by Jane Caesar when he
reformed the calendar. He gave an additional
day every four years to February, as being the
shortest month, and caused it to be inserted
between the 24th and 25th. By the Roman
mode of reckoning the 22d of February was
called the sixth before the Calends of 'March,
and the intercalary day was, therefore, named
"bis sextus dies," the second day,and the
year " hissextilia," contained the second sixth
day.

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
(F THE
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company.
The Chempeake and Ohio Railroads connecting the
Atlantic coast and the magnificent harbors of the Chesa
peake Bay with the Ohio River at a point of reliable
navigation,and thns,with the entire Railroad system an d
water transportation of the great West and Southwest,
forms the additional Fast and West
Trunk Line, so imperatively demanded for the ac
commodation of the immense and rapidly growing
transportation between the Atlantic seaboard and
Europe on the one hand, and the great producing re
gions of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
The Importance of this Bond as a
new outlet from the West to the sea
reunifies it into one of national consequence, and in
sures to it en extensive through traffic from the day of
its completion ; while,in the development of the eaten
stv e agricultural and mineral resources of Virginia and
West Virginia, it possesses, along its own line, the ele
ments of a large and profitable local baldness.
Thus the great inicrests, both general and local,
which demand the completion of the CHREIAPRARR
AND Onto RAILROAD in the Ohio River, afford the,
surest gnat-entre of Its succo,es and value, and
render it the most important : and sub.
stantial Railroad enterprise noir in pro.
gress in this Country.
Its superiority as an East and west routn. and tnie
promise of an Immense and'profitable trade.awaiting its
completion, have drawn to it the attention and co•opera
lion of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men of this
city,of sound judgment and known integrity, whose eon
nettion with it, together with that of eminent citizens
and business men of Virginia and West Virginia,
Insures an energetic, honorable and sue
cesafal management.
The Road is completed and in operation from Rich
mond to the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of Weat
Virginia, 277 miles, and there remain but 200 miles (now
partially constructed I to be completeJ, to carry it to
the proposed terminus on the Ohio river at. or near, the
mouth of the Big Bandy river, LSO miles above Cincin•
mitt, and 3r.0 miles below Pittsburgh.
Lines are now projected or in provers through Ohio
and Kentucky to this point, which will connect the
Chesapeake and Ohio with the entire
Railroad systems of the West. and South.
west, and with the Peel road.
Its valuable franchises and superior advantage* will
place the CHEnAVEAKE AND 111110 RAILROAD COMPANY'
among the richest and most powerful and trustworthy
corporations of the couyry ; and there estate a
present value, in completed road and
work done, equal to the entire amount
of the mortgage.
The details of the Loan have been arranged with 'ae
rial reference to the wawa of all classes of investor'',
and combine the various features of convenience, 'safety
and protection against loan or fraud.

The Interest is payable in MAT and NOVEMBER, that
it may take the place of that of the earlier Issues of Five-
Twenties, and suit the convenience of onr friends who
already hold Central and Western Pacific Aondd, with
interest payable in January and July. and who may de
sire, in making additional investments, to have their
interest receivable at different seasons of the year.
The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the entire
Linder Road from RichMond to the Ohio River, with
the equipment and all other property and appurtenances ,
connected therewith.
A BINNING FUND OF 6100,000 Pit ANNUAL 18 PROVIDED

The mortgage is for i 5,000,000, of which e 2,900,000
will be reserved and held in trast for the redemption of
outstanding Bonds of the Virginia Central Rai/road
Company, now merged in the thrtcsaPEAKE AND Onio.
Of the remaining 813,000,000,a sufficient amount will bo
sold to complete the road to the Ohio river, perfect
and improve the portion now in e peration,and thoroughly
equip the whole for a large and active traffic.
The present price is 90 and accrued interest.
A Loan so amply secured, so carefully guarded. and so ,
certain hereafter to command a prominent place among
the favorite Securities. in, the markets, both of this ,
Country and Europe, will be at once appreciated and'
quickly absorbed.

• IN the Supreme Court of the United States,
yesterday, Judge Strong presented his commis
sion as Associate Justice,when the oath of
office was administered, and be took his seat
upon the bench.. The Court decided, in the
case of the Grapeshot, that President Lincoln's
provisional courts in Louisiana and elsewhere
were legal tribunals.
Tuts Secretary of War yesterday sent to the
house of Representatives Col. Baker's re .rt

Sherman, in submitting the report, says that
General liardee ' a most humane and con

adds that he will direct General Sherdian to
call on Col. Baker for a detailed report, to meet
the charge that the greater number killed were
women and children.
THE robbery of the Waverly, N. Y., Na
tional Bank, took place early on Sunday morn
ing. The door of the vault and safe were
blown open with powder, the explosion shat
tering the windows of the bank. The loss to
special depositors is large, to the bank small.
There was no one in the bank on Saturday
night or the following morning, and the rob
bers were doubtless aware of that fact. . •
Lairs advices from Nuevitas have been re

were erecting fortifications. Cascorro was also
being fortified. The insurgent General Joe-
clan's headquarters were at Magarabomba last
week, but they have since been moved, and are
now at Damao. General Jordan lately sent
six hundred Camaguey insurgents toward
Cinco Villas district, but when near Remedios
they were met by the Spaniards, twenty-seven
of their . number killed, and their advance
checked. The Spaniards lost one killed and
ten wounded.. The Insurgents, in superior
numbers, lately attacked Fort Charcas, but
were repulsed by the garrison of colored free-.
men from Havana.
eicane Bather Peculiar Relies.
A Hungarian Roman Catholic clergymen, at
present in Rome ' writes to the Presburg Gazette
a curious account of a visit paid to the Church
of St. Augustine in that city. " After walking
for half an hour," says the writer, through
streets uglier and dirtier than any that could be
found in our small Hungarian towas,l reached
at last the Church of St. Augustine. When I
entered, there appeared to be no one in the
building, but an old bare-footed sacristan soon
appeared and otlered(of course for a small con
sideration) to let melee the marvelous relics
the church possessed. Having conducted me into
the sacristy be showed me, on a rich velvet
cushion inclosed in a small glass case, the cord
with which .Judas Iscariot had hanged himself.
Itly cicerone maintained the relic to be authen,
tic, and I coda' not hurt his feelings by an
expression of doubt. Another glass case con
tains a wing of the Archangel Gabriel. I
learned on inquiry that Pope Gregory VII.
had obtained this gift from the angel by his
prayers, and my guide informed me, with
a look of deep significance; that he knew a
pious man, the possessor of a feather front this
angelic wing; who would be happy to dispose
of it in favor of another devout man. As I
did not take the hint, we continued our exam
ination of the reliquary. I was next 'shown
the comb of the cock that crowed when Peter
denied his Master, then the staff with which
Moses divided the waters of the Red Sea,
and afterwards the
,beard qf :Noah. My
cicerone took care to inform me, every now
and again, that in consideration of my being a
4 pious man,' I could obtain a small portion of
these invaluable relics at a very moderate
price." The Presburg Gazette addS to this
letter, by way of postscript : " Our worthy
clergyman does not seem to have been shown
what, in our opinion, is, thepearl of the collec-'
tiOn in question : it is one of the steps of the
ladder on which Jacob, in his dream, saw the
heavenly hosts ascending and descending."
