Cincinnati Commmial, Feb 3d. Awful Tragedy I It is our painful duty to record this morning lie brief events of a tragedy which is unparalleled in.the bloody annals of riffr city, and - throws the wildeit-of romantic fictions into the shade. Love, abandonment and revenge were the inciting causes to this fearful tragedy. The history of this bloody affair is, in brief as follows : Not many years since, Capt. lons How- AHD married the'diughre r of a physician residing in Montreal, Canada.. They lived together in ap parent happiness- and domestic comfort for some time in this city, but' difficulties occured, not ne, cessary here to name, and the parties separated-- the wife taking the:two children, a boy and a'girl. Not long after the separation, _Cape IL obtained the two children biviolent means --having no re course in the law—and placed them in charge of a friend in Kenturky, at-the same time:an applica tion for a divorce was, pending in a court in that State. Mrs:.ll. was of an impetuous and deter mined teroperament--a woman of many 'accona plishmente,' and capable of high places in society —and felt her humiliation to a keen degree, and, had often .sworn revenge. Heaven knows, she has gokitt ~... Capt. H. married again, (it is said,) endives liv ing at the time of this terrible transaction, with the lady (quite handsome by the way, and amiable in her • manners)—who fell a victim to the wild fury of jealousy and vengeance and perished un-,,• der the; knife of the abandoned wife. The circum, stances of the ttagedy are as follows At ahem five o'clock last ,evening, a woman called, at the boarding house of Mrs. Wine, on Fifth street ..bettiteen Plum and Western Row,, and walked into_the entry. Meeting Mrs. W. she said--"Madarn,.l saw your- door M rs .open, and took the liberty of. walking:hi.. r tame, to see Moveard. Mrs.- W. said she would call Mre, H. and immediately went upstairs for that purpose. Mrs. If. soon came down,and upon meetingthe stranger, ihe latter sprang at her, and plunged a knife into her neck, sereringtbe jugular, anti then walked, off! Mrs. H. stagger, d back' into the kitchen, the blood gushing front the wound, cried, "0, Mrs. . Wolf, lam killed! " and expired in a= short time! . Mr. 11 0vr..trup. was in the house at the tims, and upon being , made acquainted with the facts, he seized a knife, and calling the name of the murderess,. rusbei down stairs--but she had esca ped! The bleeding object of his love was writhing in death beforabitn, and he became frantic. -- , Pursuit .was made for the murderess, but she could be found no yvhere. Mr. Joust L.

Edgar listened attentively, and at the con 'elusion shindy remaiked: " I think I see through the whole matter."' After sitting a half hour in deep study, he smiled and said: 'Lucretia, there is a passage of Scripture, I think in the Psalms, which reads thus: 'Let his het that he bath hid, catch himself; into that very destruction let him fall.'

The following letter , from a friend in Kittanning, brings to us the glorious intelligence, that Avousrus Dacmt, Esq:, qki Democratic candidate for State Senator, in the District composed of the counties of Armstrong, Indiana, Cambria and Clearfield, has been elected. lie succeeds'GOV. Johnson ; and of dburse this is a Democratic gain : Errmirforia, Feb'. 5 • 1848. . L. HARPER, Esq.: Sir—Last night we received the returns of the recent Senatorial Election from. Indiana and Cambria: They render the election of Atrourrus DRUM, the Democratic candidate, cer tain. Johnson's majority in Indiana is 420—Drum's majority in Cambria about 175. Dium's majority in. Armstrong about 173. Drum goes into Clearfield With a majority not exceeding one hundred against. him. There can be,but little doubt that Clearfield will give him a majority . of at least 200, and it may posbibly reach 300. The best ,of the joke is, North Mahoning, in'lndi ana County, one of the four Mahonings, in which an. election for Township officers was held, on the day of the Senatorial Election, and which, it was-sup posed by Gov. Johnston would secure to the Whig candidate - an overwhelming majority in those town ships, turned a complete somerset ; and instead of giving the usual Whig majority, gave Mr. Drum a majority of 80 votes I The 20th Senatorial District is, therefore, redeemed ; and the supposed political cunning, and management of a Whig Executive, has most signally failed in accomplishing its object. Yours truly, J. S. R. The Whigs Accountable, for the Riots. It is well known that the person who,did more towards exciting the people in Allegheny, ,against the cotton factories, by making inflamatory speeches in the market house,' was a rampant !roper whig; and far acme time an associate Editat'af the Conner , , riot Journal. Hialpieches were applauded by that paper, and the Whigsgenerally, because they suppo sed .that he wit performing good service for the , whig cause. Ills known, Moreover, that the whigs pald.this map some $2O per week, to prove to the working men that they (the Whigs) were the real friends ofthe Tenliour System'!' ttemernber all this was before the election! Gov. Johnston. Why don't the factory scribblers of the Journal open their batteries upon Gov. Johnston, in a three column broadside, and denounced him as an enemy to the 4, inters ts of Pittsburgh," and , encourager of rioters, because he is a friend of the Too, Hour Law, and in favor of . a repeal of the odious proviso in that law? Speak out, ye oppressors of the weak. Caucus Nomination of Gov. Seward. The Whig members of the Newyork Legislature met on Thursday last, and nominated William IL Seward for United States Senator to succeed Jelin A. Dii, whose term ••of service expires on the 4th of March next. The principal competitor of M. Seward was John A. Collier, Esq., who, our readers will remember, figured largely in the g4'hila. cielphia Slaughter Rouse Po Convention. Gen. Case In the Senate. -he return of Gen. Ct,s to the U. S. Senate, will ho a source of congratulation to the Democracy throughout the country. He ,was defeated as a can didate for the Presidency, mainly on account of the division in the Democratic rake in the States of Kew York aid Pennsylvania, on the subject of Sla very. It is also well known, that the . :whige in the South, supported Gen. Txxion, on the-graed that 'he was an opponent of the Wilmot Proviso, in favor I otthe Mexican war, and in favor of the extension of Slavery. In the North, on the other hand, the sup- i porters of Gen. TAYLOR claimed that ho was in favor of the Wilmot Previscinnd the Protective Tariff poi icy;:. :Now, these questions must come op in.Con gross during the administration of "Old Zack,”.and he will he compelled tow show hie hand " one way or the other. Senator Cass will have all the promi ses and pledges of the whige > , •written down in a book; and he Will duly present them for redemption The Taylorites cannot escape the responsibilities of the position in which they will be placed by their own acts. They must either redeem their promises, or acknowledge toyhe world that they have betray ed' and cheated tlitOlkonest voters of the country. We almost envythe potion of Gen. Case for the next four yearly. The following notice of Gen. CASs' return to the Senate, la from the National Whig, at Washington : ~ I.ktvis CASS.—When the, people send their best men to the public councils, it is a sure sign that they are awake to their hest interests. The eloctiono of United States Senators, have, every wher ca l cu l ated resulted in the choice of men, eminently to do honor to the country; but there is no citizen of opposite politics to us, whose advent to the See- ate gives us more gratification, than that of 14Ewee CASS. " Though opposed to many of Gov. CA FS' political doctrines, we have ever regarded him as one of the ablest statesmen of the country, and we are rejoiced ' that he.wilj have a - seat on the floor of tlio Senate during President Taylor's term, for we de not hesi tate to predict, that the new administration will much, oftener command his , approbation than 'his condemnation, 'even though it may not enlist his sympathies." Resolutions of the Balttroore bonven. lion. It will be Seen by the following letter or the Hon. R. H.

Van Buren and myself that Ishould inform you that this statement is founded in error. The resolutions referred to were drawn by me.at Balt. without :any direction from, or consultation'either directly or indirectly, with either of these gentlemen, who neither saw nor knew of their contents, until they were publishechamou g the proceedrnge of the Convention. After reaching Baltimore it was said that no person present was prepared ' with resolutionsdecla... ring the political principles of the Democtatic party, showing the issues teen pending - betwee n us and our oponents. I personally: requested Judge Grundy, of Tenneseee,, and Gen. Disc, to prepare such as would be proper. They, however, declined, and insisted that I should draw them. This I consented to do. When completed, they were submitted to these gentletnen,(and possibly to others,) and subsequently. approved by the committee on resolutions, and adopted by the Convention, in the ;exact form in which Idrew them.

On the contrary, it appears that they were careful to avoid violating its provisioni. The act in q uestion, called the Ten Hour Act,'expressly gives : hea t au. thority to employ girls over fourteen years, of eget° work for a longer period than ten. hours ; with the consenter their parents or guardians. This authority is given to the previa . ° to the act, and the proviso is as much a part of-the law as any other clause of it. The proviso to an Act of Assembly often seems to indicate the spirit of the law, when the main bodyrail , to do so. We do not say that is. the case here; ' but to. say that the provise defeats the spirit of the I law when it is an integral•part of the law, is no , surdity. It may here . seem to 'defeat the objeCt of the projectors of the law, but that is another thieg, If, the proprietors proceeded to work the'factory un der the provisions of Oda law ' no earthly power, no man, nor set oft:nen, or girls, had the shadow of law or right to - interfere with them, or , with. their hands. If they had vlblate.d the:previsions orthe live, the very set itself furnishes a remedy by , attachingi a specific penalty to every instance of violation. Where then WAS the mese for a resort to force and intimidation: , Judge Patter: saw fit tosay "there was ;nn. deuce in this case tliat proprietors oftheTein Facritry were violating the law. On the contrary,' o appears that they were - careful to avoid violating its provisions:, The defendants offered repeatedly to prove that the prosecutiou were violating the law, and the tea' Moon was overruled, by ,the court. Mr. Kennedy was perteilleilArriay oti his examination, that he had obierved. the teller of the law—hence his huntar charged the Jury that they "were careful to eyelid violating its proViaions. ,, _ I have often heard geed lawyers and learned Judges, declare that the,spitit of the law was _that whith was , treat to be observed, and that the letter without the spirit was nothing.
