studied Min off to gaol. An action was- brought
sgnisst the 'sheriff for false imprisonment, and a
- smell sum was awarded as damages by a jury. ..The
judges ta-datica'hava, however,. messed &bladed
sioo, on . the. antborlty of a,' leading ease, which
'nffirmedlbittlitotieh by' the, Anger, was sufficient',
• and that whirs there was it , erssnal oontaot restraint
was not necessary." _
• The_ 'difficulty in this ,itaise is;-thtit the deci:

This is a eharming instance of "the glori

Bottvusa also qisotes equally good authority
to show. what constitutes, a legal caption.
Be 'says; "Bare words, - however, will not
make,au arrest, without laying held of the iter : ,

The above-quoted decision its lama° settles,
the question, until another judgment affirmii as

Mrs. MoMahon's lengthy letter to the City Item
attacks the critics of New York, for having praised
Miss Heron's acting ; intimates that theft praises
- must have been purchased; assails Miss Heron for
succeeding ;.asserts that she can play only one
character with any degree of ability ; that this
character (Camille) she excels in only by imita
ting somelerformer in France; points out to tbe
Editor of the City Item in what manner theatrical
criticism should be written, so as to avoid all sus
picion of venality—and discourses, very freely and
firmly, "de oninlbui rebus" in general.
There (satinet be any objection to Mre MoMahon's
believing herself bound to become the Mrs. Eliddons,
Mademoiselle Rachel, and Madame Rioted, of
America—if she can. But, throwing herself into
the ring, as it were, with a Challenge to the pro

The writer who, rather oddly, signs " Mrs.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM OCCA-
BIONAL. II
(iorredliondeeeet of The Press.) `
• WASEIINGTON, July it, 1858.
The demonstrations at Boston and New York,on
theThsth of - fiver, of ii_.. k national party,
beaded respeotively by oi:tithing, Everett, and
Choate, are regarded in this city as having been
instigated by that portion of - the Democratic party
who intend - outbidding the preierit Administration
in its claim for Southern support. Mr Everett
has just returned from his Southern tour, having
ntnply 'apelogisitUtirthe 'peciPleO(the South for
his- denunciation - of 4 Brooks On account of the
Sumner aff dr, audleted as he has been, lauded at
Charleston by'the 'editor 'of the Charleston News
in a speech full of the hyperbole of the chivalry,
he thinks it high time for him to declare his pur
pose • against sectionalism, or, what he calls it,
bunootnbe. While Mr Everett was here,the guest of.
Mr. Corcoran, he made no sweet of his hostility to
the Lecompton policy of the Administration, and I
have no•doubt that letters from him on this sub
ject are in existence: 'Mr. Choate, who has a rela
tive in office under, the Administration, is no lees
decided against Lecompton, While Mr. Cushing,
if you will read his oration carefully, takes pains
to praise the South, he ignores Lecompton. Jef
ferson Davie, in Boston on the 6th, has been very
careful not to lead in the war of the extremes upon
Douglas ; and having been in the Administration
of General Piero°, associated with General Cush
ing, it - is fair 'to presume that the movement in
New England anti New York was not made without
his full approval. The Southern people are not
disposed to make a test of the unfortunate Kansas
polio of the Administration,. and the tipeeobee re,
ferred to !how that, however their allies in the
North may be aispoied to aid and assist the South
in everything that is right, they are not disposed
to second the movements of 'Messrs. Slidell, Cobb,
& Co. in their proscription Of the Douglas Demo•
gals ;
• wen Jones, of Montgomery, sends word to Wash
ington that he is stun of a nomination and re-alea
tlon. How is this? Can it be possible that the
people of that (IL:m.lot do not know that this man
Jones bas,aven more thoroughly degraded himself
than tho illustrious John? that he °lnitiates dam-,
meets in favor of ,the orighteif,eoomptouj whioh by
voted'againstOvad hi,lioOding s his district with the
'utO#,Setindalctut . ,atninksupon the gallica mitriviitb
,whombe .was assoeiatod - until he basely &limited
them? • ",
lees tbst you refer to the marshal of the district
as interfering in favor' of Jones. I have but to
itay;to this gentleman that be cannot be too oam , ,
tlens'ln: his movements. • The" idea of packing
juries • ivitic I.lo;3oinpion men, and excluding from
them even boughs and Wise Democrats, may be a
'subject for Congressional intervention, in which
case other matters may be inquired into: I under
stand that this business of * using the United Stites
juries for political purposes has excited the Indig
nation of 'men in every State in ibieh it btu. been
resorted to., Many excellent men have been In
vite,a 'de jurors heretofore and have gladly accepted
, ibis trust; but now that Lecomptonism is made the
lest by United State( marshali, a man cannot be a
juror in our United States,. courts unless he agrees
to it: I.Would :advise You to lookuver the 'next'
list of jurors for the eastern district of Pennsylvania,
and make your own 'observations and reflections
urioi the array as rireiiinted.
I understand that the President is extremely in
dignant at the statement made by the Hon. T. J.
Crittenden,. as to the expenditures of the Govern
ment,- in one of hie late speeches in Hentuoky. My
opipionis that, a good deal pore has been said
by, itte,oppositiOn on this subject of. public expen
ditures than is either Just or reasonable., and I am
disposed to think that Mr. Letoher, of Virginia,
has made a very able and smoceseful defence.
• By the way, can it be that Mr. Crittenden has
never been invited to dine at the White Rouse?
I hear this said, but cannot, heifers it, considering
the long • and' fifth:ante personal relations between
the President and the gentuoky Senator.
By, letters received-lore it leatated that large
masses of emigrants are wending tbeir way from
California and the Bantam States towards Tucson
in Arizona, attracted there by the rich Silver
mines of that Territory. It is feared that the ra•
ports from over the border in Sonora, of mines of
richest yield of gold and silver, will induce an
emigration into that State of the MeXlean.oonfed
army. It would begin at once, but that it is
deemed, necessary to go It large numbers in order
for self-protection against General Posquiera,

Horrible Tragedy:—Murder and Suicide i
[From the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Valley Times of the let j
The citizens of our usually peaceful town were
startled and shocked about six o'elook last even
lug. by the occurrence of the most Inhuman and
horrible tragedy that we have ever been called
upon to record. A wife was murdered in cold
blood, without a moment's warning, by her hus
band, who immediately after cut his own throat,
and sent his guilty soul into eternity. The par
tioulars of this and event, as near as we have been
able to ascertain, are as follows;
About eighteen months ago Mr. Ambrose B.
Shelties and - bia family left Cedar Rapids, having
lived here a few years!, for the TL tat, where we
believe his relations reside, and while absent difft.
oulties occurred which led to a separation from his
wife—he leaving her and coming to Michigan, and
she, with the children, three In number, returning
to Seder Rapids. About three weeks ago, Skeeles,
having ascertained the whereabouts of his wile,
came to this city for the purples of effecting a re
conciliation. Being unable to bring about an
understanding, even by the assistance of friends
and relatives , Skeeles became desperate, and, we
understand, ireatened her life If she too ki step' to
procure a divorce—a course she bad determined to
take on the grounds of ill treatment. Oa Tuesday
Mrs. Skeeles wont to Marion for' the purpose o.
taking the necessary initiatory steps for a divorce
suit, and that probably led to the consummation of
the tragedy of last night, which baa resulted in
the death of both parties by the hand of tho hus
band.
Tae knife which Biteelei used is a very largo,
new pocket-knife, which he found in the road,
about a mile from town, a week or two ago. It is
thought that he sharpened the knife during the
day, twill went to the house where his wife and
children wore living, on Daniel street, between
Adams and Jefferson, with the determination of
killing his wife, and taking hie own life.
When he reached the house Mrs. Bkeeles was
at the next-door neighbor's. Ono of the children
went over and told her that her father was
in the house, when Mrs Bkeeles requested a
young lady present to go with her to the house
after the other children. They passed over a
stile between the gardens, whore the young lady
remained, while Mrs. Skinks passed on to au out
side cellar-door, about ten feet, and discoVered
Bkeeles in the cellar. Passing down a few stem
she asked him what ho was doing, led said to him
that she told him Dalai enough nut to come there.
Ifs made some reply, but it is not known what,

the cellar•door, and was In the act of fastening it
with a padlock when Bkeeles seised her, threw her
upon the ground and held her down with hie knee
across her body, while ho deliberately took the
knife from his pocket, and openfng It, cut the poor
woman's throat in a horrible manner, nearly rover-
ing the head from the body, and causing death in

words in relation to the children—desiring them
to be sent to hie father's; In Lookport, New York.
When we reached the scene of the tragedy, the
bodies had been carried in, and were lying side
by side upon the floor of the back room Buell
horrid scene of blood as this room and the yard
near the dour presented we never before witnem

woman in her struggles had wrenched the padlook
of the oellar-door from its fastenings, and she still
clung to it is death. From the appearance of her
countenance, we should judge that death was in
stantaneous ; but Sheeles evidently died hard, as
the distorted features and glaring eyes seemed to
indicate—a striking contrast to the calm, almost
unruffled, features of his murdered wife.

name was Bulah C. 'Vinton. She was mush
esteemed by her neighbors as a kind, amiable, in
telligent, and good-nttured woman, and her vio
lent death by the hands of her hus band has justly
caused mush sympathy for the four orphans thus
left destitute. The eldest child, a girl, is about
fourteen years, the youngest two years of age.

which bide fair to procrastinate Its comfit:Wan

warned yesterday, and the testimony Is still cir
cumstantial in its ohareoter. The ease hee been
adjourned until Monday morning next, which ;vill
give the jurymen. an opportunity - of cooling their
fevered brains at Atlantic city, or elsewhere, to
day and,to•morrow. We were happy to see that
our distinguished friend who bad been disturbed
by what be feared were striotures oa our'part, had
entirely recovered bie composure, and seems
die
posed to adopt our disinterested suggeitions as to
the mire of his invaluable person. It is very gra
tifying to us, therefore, to•anuoaneo that the
"entente tortliale" is entirely re-established.

PniLADELPIIII, July 9.1858.
It is well known to our readers that an arrange
ment has been made by which, on and after the
18th of Eleptembei,
_the Philadelphia /links will
recelye,all the• notes of Pennsylvania banks on
.deposit and in payment of debts.' Those -hanks
which fall to make provision to keen their netts at
par"fis this bity, eejll have them returned for re
deinpilon immediately. - - -
Thip,meguntre, which has been yielded by the
banks to the demands of our merchants, appears
to arouse considerable indignation in some parts of
'the country, where it is, perhaps, not understood,
or, at all events, not liked. The Lebanon Adver
tiser, In a long editorial,' not characterized by so
kind a spirit as we should like to have found, says
that this course is brewing a stormsof, hostility to
Philadelphia, which will long. ta - of -itainetwe in
-jury to her interests and prosperity. It says :
The ; country. is, a sleeping lion, and when
grouped it can give tit for tat to the city of Bro
therly Love."
---Befonsthireleerhig lion is krolislid to the extent
which the Advertiser dreads, when it would be
too latliperhiPs ib 'reason, it may be wall to state
ipoint or two in defence of the pulley, so warmly
condemned. The Adtierisser says It not- deeply
enough versed in finances to dhenss the question
scientifically, which is an advantage in, this ease,
because those well versed soleitila'aro" apt to
be pedantic—wedded to unreasonable theories
—while this question needs only common Sense,
- and no science beyond a little simpli,:arithmetio
for its solution. We aro too apt to overlook truths
at our fingers' ends, and to strain ourselves with
?smelling after some" unattainable,'perhaps non
-
existent, ideal. _
The' Advertise,' says that if a merchant pits
dlBooUPt:di loin from a country bank in its noted,
and Vivi thole foi goods in Philadelphia, they will
lie back for, rede '
mptlon tia a weeir., which tact pro-
Itifi o the-heltilktkaiikrrelie discounting as Jibe:-
['Byrne ft Otherwhe would, and InIPPTIine." the
wants of the community." This isirue.
What is the effect of this practice? - The Ads', r
arer, in its earnest adv.:a/my of bank liberality,
would' hardly for it - =mina advise e bank to pLt
itself in danger, of breaking._ A batik may safely
loan out all its capital_ and a part of its depo.:lts,
keeping enough of the,latter'onliand to meet the
expedited current demandi.of Its depositors, but
when it exceeds this limit, ft puts itself In dangtr
of being broken at any moment. A bank can load
money-L . -bat it cannot_ make it.. It must get It
somewhere, eitherirccapitaler in dap:wits, before
it lends it out. If it ',maniere than tneie, it rune
Into a pitfall, and Is in Hourly danger bf dissolu
tion. • "
It can only lend more than is prudent by an over
tone of- its notes, according to the plan which the
Advertiser
,suggests. Every note eibieh a bank
has in circ u lation represents a loan of Its amount
by the holder of the note to the bank. :If thaPhila
dolphin banks restive the notetrof country banks
from theft: Stistoniers, - they ;mom° creditors of
these hanker-for the &exeunt of the notes so 'received.
Why should they lend, country -banks this
amount of money without interest?- It is very
true that the Lebanon banks Might distionntseveral
hundred thousand dollars more if they could do
so with the assurance that they - would not be
shortly called-upon -to 'redeent their promises to
pay. It is doubtless aiso true, as the Advertiser
adds, that New York and Baltimore would be glad
to sell to Lebsnon merchants, •
. Bat the 'banks in Now York - and Baltimore are
no more likely . to loan their !update. the Lebanon
banks. to be hired out. at a profit. by them, than
the banks of Philadelphia
„are. In New York - or
Boston, in feet, the same system prevails ns • to
the country banks in the c ropeetiVeStatesef Now
York and Massaebiisetti;Witioh it is 'propoeed-- to
establish here. The•Lebanonlbank molts would
not go into bank there, but , would be scold_ to
broker, end by him Sent to the bank. .: t •
- The last sentence contains the whole secret of
this wrath and fury on the part, of Come of our
country banks. If the Advertiser will please to
look narrowly at its sleeping lion," it will find
him to be but a large eat, which we will now let
out of the bag"—and in this fashion: Except
a few banks in this vicinity, the greater number
of banks east of the mountains have their notes a
tittle below par. We would not charge wok a
thing upon the Lebanon.banks by any means, but
we will take some country banks, any country
bank that keepi its notes one half of one per
tent. below par in this city. It disconets for a
storekeeper, who brings here, say a thousand dol
lars of its notes; and payi them away for goods.
Next day they are sold to a broker, who
charges half per cent. discount. Ile sends theiri
to the bank and receives a cheek neon some city
depository of funds for one thousand dollars less
- the charge of the bank for the exchange, say throe
eights per cent. The broker charges the merchant
one-halt, bat the bank takes three-eighths and
the,.}.2411..r_ gas. only the balance. There Is no
question as to this practice. Three.fourtlis of all
discounts taken off notes by brokerage to the banks
in this manner.
Now, who loses this shave ? It must be the
merchant in Philadelphia, unless he is smart
enough, knowing bow he is to be paid, to add the
discount in some way to the price of- his- goods.
Oar country merchants may rest assured that in
dotham they are smart enough to meet this little
piece of sharp practice, and have a small margin
left for the trouble it gives them.- It is sheer
humbug to talk of largir discounts. The WM:tatty
bankers are wide awake, and knew their business
Well. They will not endanger their existence- by
extending themselves. - They will not -discount' a
dollar more or a dollar lase, on account of this ac
tion of the Philadelphia banks; but they see that
they are likely to make less "money hereafter by
shaving their own circulation, and "hence these
tears."
The Philadelphia banks propose to do what will
benefit their own customers and the purchasers
from the country alike; but the country banks
which have pursued this system do not like the
prospect of its terminatios. We join heartily in
the Modest -hope of the Advertiser, that ..801.116 of
our country ootemporaries, who understand this.
question batter than we do, will take up and tra
cers it. Let us arouse the comitry to ar Inte
rests :" not, as the Advertiser ells. •• by putting
a atop to the unnecessary oppreesmni- of Philadel
phia," beoanse there are no opprestioua , neees?..try
or unnecessary—because Pailadelp'tia has not 5
single-interest whioh is not an interrea for cli
Pennsylvania—but by aiding to bring our MILL lug
system upon a sound and healthy basis, and to
make one bank eireniation, in city and in country
sound, trustworthy, and reliable. .
The stock market was very dull to-day—the fan
ales fulling behind again a little, and investment
securities, though firmly held, not in native de
mand.
