REDUCTION OF TERMS.
The vice of THE Paws has been re-
awed as follows
City subscribers, $8 per annum, in ad
vance; or, 15 cents per week, payable to the
carriers
Mailed to subscribers out of the city, $7
per annum; $3.50 for sir months; .1.75
for three months, invariably in advance.
The TRI-WKLY PRESS, nailed to sub
soribers, $4 per annum, in, advance.
The above notice is sufficiently explana
tory; but we may add, that while the re
duction in the price of subscription will
introduce TUE PRESS to a larger circle of
readers, it will not be less attractive in its
Various departments. We have made ar
rangements to greatly improve it.
ONE process by which we celebrated the
glorious Fourth of July, was the putting
'TRH Piss into entirely new type, on that
3iational anniversary. A newspaper which
aims at popularity, should be readable in a
double sense ; in the quality of its contents,
and also in the typography which brings
them before the public. Tan .1 1 'nEss, we
can truly say, has always been distinguished
for its handsome typogyaphical appearance,
and we have constantly endeavored to give
the`public NV h t was worthy of being read—
we might modestly say, " apples of gold in
baskets of silver."
A week has elapsed since we put THE
PnEss into a new dress, and we take leave
now to draw attention to its appearance.
Not long since, most of the book-work in
this country was fur inferior, in beauty of
a.spect and accuracy of text, to the sheet
now befbre our readers, a portion of
which was put into type only half
an hour before . the publication went
to press. This broad sheet, so full yet
so clear, was an unstained virgin page
only a few hours before, in its present
form, it came into its readers' hands. The
morning journal is the history of the day,
collected from a great variety of resources—
condensed as well as collected, in many in
stances, and thoughtfully commented upon
in some. By the aid of intelligent com
positors this vast variety of intelligence is
put into type, night after night, six times in
each week, and by a semi-miracle of speed,
one of HOE' s lightning presses puts the stamp
of intelligence upon the blank sheets of pa
per by thousands every hour. Yet the
perfect newspaper, such as we aim at pro
ducing, requires more than the skill which
our compositors literally have "at their
fingers' ends," and the lightning speed of the
wonder-working printing machine. The
objection to most journals is that the type
(worn or bad,) does not give clear reading;
that the blurred page soils the fingers; and
that inferior paper is used. As to clear
reading, we submit that THE PRESS, at pre
sent, may he claimed to be as well printed as
any newspaper in the world, with the best
ink, which prevents its being blurred; and
we carefully eschew straw paper, which,
besides being discolored and coarse, is so
fragile that it is almost impossible to handle
it except with annoying tenderness, for fear
of its getting torn up, or rather becoming
shivered into fragments, from mere want of
fibrous texture.
The type now used on TUE PRESS has
been made by COLLINS & IticLEF.smt,
705 Jayne street, Philadelphia, who had
Supplied us with priuting materials
twice before. It has emphatically been
made for.. TILE Pr.Ess, because it presents
what is called an entirely new face, and
new matrices had to becut expressly to pro
duce it. The best judges of typography
have admitted that the perfection of art has
'been reached in the production of this type;
And we have too much reliance upon their
opinion to contradict
,it. The sheet in
which these lines will be read is a proof of
the perfection with which .the delicacy of
l'Ausios art is seconded by the wondrous
power of that which WATT may be said to
have created. Our subscribers, we lmow,
from the conviction of experience, Will
credit us with the desire to present them
'with a journal superior to its contempora
ries, not only in reliable information, but
also in appearance. We hope that we have
succeeded, and feel that it is more than
ever incumbent on us to make the intellec
tual in complete Unison with the mechani
cal execution of this journal.
OVR SISTERS OF MERCY.
The suggestion which we threw out, a
few days ago, that the true and tender
hearted American women who self-devo
tedly formed our FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
legion of humanity, in camp and hospital,
during the last four terrible years of war,
zhould individually receive some tangible
national acknowledgment, has been ,well
received, if we may form a judgment froin
the numerous letters which have been
written to us upon the subject. One of
these letters, from " A Surgeon," is as
follows :
818. EDITOR: I have read with pleasure
your remarks on the services gratuitously
rendered either in the timid or hospital by
the women of our land, and the propriety of
onicial recognition thereof. A friend who has
seen a Certificate intended for those who
served for "more than throe years gratuitous
ly in United States army hospitals s n describeS
it as a photograph miserably designed and in
differently executed. He says the soldiers are
banditti in appearance, and that the vacant
sleeve, by some unknown power, swings
abroad like a sign post, on one of the figures.
Your suggestion of a medal, or cross of honor,
is the right idea, and surely our Government,
can afford a few hundred dollars to honor
those who again and again saved valuable
lives. When you think of the number of
women who " enlisted for the war, and never
failed for more than three, yes, nearly four
years, to meet their painful, but self-elected
doily duty, surely some worthy sign should be
given them of national gratitude. Pray, fol
low up the subject, and perhaps the Secretary
of 11 ar and the Surgeon General can be
- warmed into a grateful and generous feeling
- towards the legion who worked for nothing.
We have no doubt that Mr. STANTON, if
the matter be properly brought under his
consideration, will do all that is proper.
The necessary steps for advancing our sug
gestion are obvious enough. It can scarcely
be expected that our Sisters of Mercy will
themselves advance claims or submit proofs
of public services performed by them ; at
the same time, no doubt, each would grate
fully accept and proudly wear any decora
tive honor which their country might be
stow, in acknowledgment of their worth.
The commanding officers and the surgeons
of regiments, who had the best opportuni
ties of noticing and knowing those who
had rendered humane services to the
sick and wounded soldiers, ought to be
called upon, in the first instance, to send in
reports naming the persons in question, and
noting the duration and extent of service
rendered ; and, on the publication of these
lists in the leading newspapers, omitted
xiames might be additionally forwarded, so
as to obtain a complete catalogue of the de
serving, and of them alone. No man,
'Worthy of the name, could or would object
to this simple but not insufficient mode of
doing honor to the Worthy atm other sex.
There is nothing extraordinary in thus
rendering the homage of public gratitude to
the noble, because humane, self-devotion of
- the excellent women of America who tended
on the sick and wounded during the war.

0170 TWO LEADERS.
During the civil war just- -closed, which
involved so many, conflicting
,interests and
aroused such strong partisiit. feelings, it
seemed a special interposition of Providence
that the Government was for the time "vest
ed in the hands of a man who was, by the
circumstances of his life, so able to recog
nize the real diffieUlties in the position of
affairs.
It must be regarded as a most fortunate
occurrence that, during a war which ar
rayed Mirth and South in direct and' deadly
hostility, the Union leader should have
been born in a Southern State, and one,
too, where the differences between the
systems of free and slave labor were forced
into glaring relief by close proximity.
While his early impressions were drawn
from such a condition of society, fortune
had cast his, manhood in a community
having not only all the vigor of the North
but the enterprise of the West, so that he
was familiarized with the capabilities and
resources of the North, at the same time
that ancient bonds still connected him with
the South. At least, he knew, by personal
experience, many of those difficulties with
which the Southern people had to contend,
and which could hardly be fully understood
except by one who had lived in their midst.
Ms intimate acquaintance with the South
made him patient with their errors, while
his experience of the North gave him con
fidence in our unfailing resources and un
conquerable vigor, and faith in the right
eousness of ottr cause.
In war, our leader and President was pa
tient and merciful to the rebellious breth
ren, with whose difficulties he sympathized,
and over whose sorrows he mourned, while
his truth, justice, and integrity bound him
unswervingly to the cause of law and
Union; and now, when gentle Peace re
turns, we are again under the leadership of
a man as fitting a representative of the pre
sent conflict as our martyred chieftain was
of the past
The reorganization of society - and labor
in the Southern States is the question of the
present time, and our present President has,
through a long personal experience, studied
the question in all its bearings.
In his earlier life he was in direct sym
pathy of kindred feeling with the poorer
classes of the whites, and experienced all
"the disadvantages of their peculiar position.
While during his maturer years, while
steadily working his way up to the position
' to which his character entitled him, through
the various offices of trust and honor, he
has been, in the various phases of his event
ful and useful life, the representative of all
the different degrees of that very society
which he is now called upon to reorganize
and secure on the only true basis of justice
and right. •
THE REFORMATION OF SOCIETY.
When Sir TimmAs Moonn, wrote his
Utopia, and HARRINGTON his Oceana, they
were both at liberty to exercise their fancies
in constructing model conditions of society,
without any constraint from the actual facts,
necessities, or circumstances then existing.
Their unshackled imaginations were allowed
"to body forth the forms of things unseen,"
and bestow on the airiest of nothings " a
local habitation and a name." Those au
thors were building Utopias, and - such ar
chitects are beyond rnd above all the prosaic
criticism of the every day world, which is
nevertheless performing soberly and consci
entiously the actual work of which the fan
ciful builder is only dreaming.
We would not disparage their work, or de
tract from its merits in the slightest degree.
Far be that from us ! For the visions of the
prophet, and the fancies of the poet are the
actual truth, and will appear in their mate
rial form at some future day. Such visions
strengthen many a worker to bring about
their own fulfilment, and such fancies en
courage many a laborer, faintin,g and dis
couraged at the obstacles which he has to
surmount. • But these broad perceptions al
ways extend into the far future, and reveal
only what it will contain without throwing
light on the immediate present and its harsh.
details.
Such a 'lifting of the veil is wholesome
and salutary, and has a genuinely practical
advantage in the triumphant hope and in
vigorated faith that it gives to the beholder;
but those lovely visions are too generally
only an extensive prospect, where the
mountain distances are fair, while the im
mediate foreground is impracticable to the
footsteps of the wayfarer.
The instruments by which man is to
work always lie ready at his hand; they
have been brightened and sharpened by
the actual attrition of past events, and are
the only means by which the labors of the
present can be accomplished.
In the Sacred Text we are told that "the
Law was a schoolmaster to bring us to
Christ," the Apostle recognizing that the
cumbrous machinery of the Mosaic dispen
sation, and the backslidings and stubborn
ness of the Jews were yet, nevertheless,
the appointed means by which the 'perfect
law should be brought to men's hearts, and
the instrumentality which should lead, by a
long and devious way, to the ultimate re
demption.
The reformers and social philosophers of
our day have done a noble work in fear
lessly pointing out the wrongs of, the pre
sent state of society, and the evils of the ex
isting condition of things. They are justly
entitled to our reverence for their good
deeds, and admiration for their courage and
steadfastness, but they too often regard the
whole mass of mankind as a species of
chemical substances in false combination,
only requiring some slight and simple
change to free them from their old entan
glements and permit them to fly back in
stantly and naturally into the true combina
tion which they were intended to assume
in the grand system of the perfected uni
verse.
But to the men to whom the actual hard
work fails—the men who perform the practi
cal, physical, political regeneration—another
view of the ease is familiar. They learn
through a bitter experience that assimilation
and combination .are not the instant result of
the removal of old obstacles—that habit
and prejudice are among the powers that
control mankind, and are exceedingly diffi
cult to overcome, and almost impossible to
eradicate. They find that the memories of
men are not an intangible thing, to be de
spised, but a reality, that must be regarded ;
that established customs must be considered,
and that, in the workings of government,
the ruler may well copy the movements of
nature, which, by the regulation of the All
wise Director of creation, are slow, though
sure, and under fixed and invariable laws.
THE READERS Of THE PRESS, doubtless,
observed in the interesting account of the
execution of the assassins, furnished by
our special reporter, on Saturday, that
PAyNE, in confessing his guilt, acknow
ledged that he was animated by a desire to
serve the Confederacy, and by a hope that
its authorities would reward him with pro
motion for his terrible assault upon Mr.
SEWARD and his attendants. While it does
not appear that he alleged in his general
statement that JEFF DAVIS had directed
him to strike his fearful blows, he felt that
he was doing the work of the rebellion,
and that its leaders would not fail to com
pensate him as a useful ally in their damna
ble schemes.
Tnn article in favor of the nomination of
General JAs. L. SELFRIDGE, /Or Auditor
General of this State, by the coming Union
State Conventien, strikes a chord that will
he replied to by every patriotic heart. We
must prove to the people, at the election
next October, that in all preceding' and in
ertnediate action we do not remember the
saviors of the Republic in words' alone.
Our gratitude must be substantial and
practical.

sponsible for' the strong - measures of the
Government but the President'.' hinthelf,
was most sedulously maintained during
the term of Mr. Lincoln. At first he was
denounced as a usurper and a tyrant ; but
gradually he came to be discussed as a sort
of protest against the decided doings of
his Cabinet. Whenever he sanctioned
what, looked like a resolute policy, he was
credited with a reluctant yielding to
exacting counsels. The accession of An
drew Johnson did not discourage those who
preached on this text. Only they made a
different application of it. The new
President was to be a. soft and pliant
ruler, because he was a Democrat As
soon as he took the place made vacant
by the bullet of the traitor, he was ex
pected to be uncommonly lenient to all
traitors-;-to the same who, until ho became •
President, made him the target of the most
shameless and nameless caluinnies. In
fact, he was no Democrat then—nothing
but an Abolitionist and a despot. It is not
for me to unravel these metaphysics. That
Andrew Johnson should fear to strike at
treason because he is a Democrat, may
mean that those who expected this sort of
timidity think that modern treason and
modern Democracy are terms of equal
meaning. The Democracy of Andrew
Johnson is not that kind. It is made of
Sterner stuff. It is of Jackson metal. In
the hard and bitter teachings of his
life, not to be afraid was the watchword
of his success. "Sir," said Andrew John
son to Jo Lane in the Senate, in February
of 1801, after one of the threats ef the lat
ter : " Sir, I tell that Senator these eyes
never saw the man of whom I stood in
fear I" The . Democracy of Andrew John
son is instinct with horror of cowardice
and hate of treason. His very first Presi
dential act was to decide how to treat
the assassins of Mr. Lincoln. The whole
laud was tkrilling with indignation, and
black with the thunder-clouds of uncom
mon wrath. How should he proceed ?
Wait to take advice from the courts--
mayhap from Mr. Justice Wylie here—or
from lawyers--mayhap from Mr. Charles
O'Conor in New York—how much re
ward he should offer for the capture of
Booth, and if that virtuous young 'wan
was caught, whether the Government
Would pay the reward ? Had he any right
to search for the accomplices? This was
another question. And when as the proof
oozed out, drop by drop, like the blood
that betrays the slaughtered body, showing
the relations between Jefferson Davis and
the assassins, it would have taken a college
of philosophers to know what he was then
to do. How would Old Hickory have met
such an exigency ? Suppose him to have
been Abraham Lincoln's successor, we do
not think even Mr. Reverdy Johnson would
have induced him to take a conservative
course. Instead of a sour apple tree, he
might have found a more convenient
and a shorter method of transmitting the
high priest of Secession to his original la
boratory. And I apprehend that his
military court would have been far less
formal than that of which General
Hunter was President. General Jackson
had a very sincere regard for the law, in
time of peace ; and, no doubt, if Judge Hall
had been on the bench while the General
was visiting New Orleans, as a gay young
Tennesseean, before the war, he would
have been terrified at his frown. But when
the enemy was at the door of the city, and
the latter infected with treason, and Jack
son himself in command, even Judge Hall,
and the lawyers and the dignities of that
place, had to give way. Andrew : Johnson
has not been cotemporaneous with a part of
this great man's career, has not lived in
Tennessee, has not been a Jackson boy, for
nothing. I suspect that, following his
example, and recalling how > that ex
ample was endorsed by the people, has
been a part of the ctnternplation of his si
silent hours.. Anyhow, I fear that the
leaders who expected him to be lenient to
traitors because he was a Democrat, will
not be so eager in his praise when they
have realized that his Democracy has taken
another shape, and that with him country
is high above all 'party. PCCASIONAL.

Soldiers.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin: The time for holding the Union State
Convention to nominate candidates for Audi
tor General and Surveyor General having been,
postponed, we have some time for looking out
for good and available candidates. '
Until a few days ago I took for granted that
the great party which elected Lincoln and
Johnson, and saved the country, would, with
entire unanimity, practice what we all
preached whilst our gallant soldiers were
in the field and pouring Out their blood
to defend us and our homes, by giving
them the preference when we come to appoint
and elect civil officers. But lam assured that,
in the patriotic city of Philadelphia, a majori
ty of delegates elected will favor the nomina
tion not of a soldier, but of a politician for the
office of Auditor General. I sincerely hope I
am misinformed. But fearing it is only too
true, I, for one, feel disposed to make good our
pledges to the soldiers during the terrible
struggle for the life of the nation, by nomi
nating one of their number to the highest or
flee now in the gift of the people of Pennsyl
vania, I therefore take the liberty of naming,
as a candidate, that gallant veteran, Brig. Gen.
Jeans L. Simpams, of Northampton county.
General Selfridge, was one of the very first
to respond to the call of the President for
75,000 men, by raising a company for the Ist
Pennsylvania (three months) Volunteers. At
the expiration of said term he assisted in
raising the 46th Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
became lieutenant colonel, and afterwards
was promoted to colonel. The bloody battles
in - which his regiment was engaged, under
command of the officer in question, are too
numerous now to mention. He has since been
promoted to a brigadier generalship, which
was well deserved.
Last fall, the friends of the Administration
placed Gen. Selfridge before the people for Con
gress, in the Eleventh district, and the fact that
he was far ahead of his ticket, proves his great
popularity where he is best known. lie is a
gentleman of the highest order of intelli
gence, of strict honesty, eloquent as a public
speaker, formerly a merchant by profession,
and would not only 1111 the office named with
honor to himself and great advantage to the

whom we are indebted to-day for the salvation
of the country, are not forgotten or neglected

Murder in All Its Phuses.
A CURIOUS CHAPTER OF CRIMES.
From our exchanges from all parts of the
world; we gather the following chapter of
crimes.
A FIENDISH ATTEMPT TO nLow or A ixotrsm IN
The Baltimore Clipper contains a detailed
account of an infernal plot, in that city, to
blow op a house, with all its inmates. The
Clipper says:
About three o'clock, on the morning of July
4, the family and boarders, in the house of Mr.
Patrick MeEany, No. 16 Preston street, near
Pratt, were aroused from their slumbers by
a terrific report, as if from the explosion of
at bombshell, shaking the house to its foun
dation, and producing considerable conster
nation among all. Upon repairing to the
yard, it was discovered that some explosive
article or infernal machine had been set off in
the corner, where the front and back buildings
join, and that the door leading to the yard
had been torn from its hinges, the first and
second-story rear windows demolished and

of iron were picked up on the pavement, show
ing that something like a bomb had been ex
ploded, although their appearance did not in
dicate anything like the usual messem.•er of
war. In the house adjoining Mcltany lives a
Welshman, named Owen Morris, between
whom and tbe former it is alleged had feelings
have existed for some time. Suspicion natu
rally rested upon Morris as the party who hail
made the attempt to injure or murder Me-
Eany's family, but he, upon being accused of
it at the time, stoutly denied it, and threat
ened to shoot any of McEany's friends,
who came near him. About sunrise on
Tuesday Morris and his wife left the
house, apparently for a jaunt into the
country, the wife carrying a covered bas
ket on her tom. They were followed by Me-
Eany's wife out the Washi „I - I.ton road, who
seemed to be satisfied that Norris had made
the attempt to blow up her house. Meeting
an officer, she called him to arrest Morris,
which was no sooner done than the woman
threw her basket down an embankment-for
the purpose of concealing its contents. This
availed nothing, for when the basket was
picked up an iron castinn , was found hi. the

ern station, but the evidence was cleMied
insufficient to hold him, and he was dis
charged.
Morris, however, was subsequently re
arrested and committed for trial.
A WELL-ENOWN CITIZEN .0P PITTSBURG SSW BY
About half past ten o'clock last night, as
William Noble a well-known citizen, was
passing along Third street in company with
severe frienils, a man named Julius 'Hoffman,
tobacco dealer on Third street, passed in front
of them, to the outside of. the pavement, with
a pistol in his band, and, as Mr. Noble thought,
was about to lire it off. Mr. N. said to him,
"You better not shoot that pistol, as the po
lice will pi& you up. ,, The words were
scarcely spoken, when he deliberately tired at
Noble, the ball glancing off one of the ribs and
lodging in the arm, above the elbow, inflicting
it severe but not dangerous wound. Hoffman
_was arrested and put in the lock-up. It ap
pears that, for the last three weeks, he has
been partially out, of his mind, and although
not violent, acted strangely. On being brouht
into the Mayor's office he appeared to realize
that he had done wrong, and was considerably
frightened. Under the circumstances it is
probable he will be sent to the Insane Asylum.
—Pittsburg Dispatch, 6th inst.
A NOTED GUERILLA KILLED BY CITIZENS.
Mention has already been made in the cot:
umns of The Press, of the surrender and parol
ing Of Jim Jaehson, a noted cut-throat and
guerilla of-Missouri, and his band Of rebels.
The latter then :separated, but their leader
was subsequently captured by a band of citi
zens; and was shot by them. It appears that
amen named Bullard, belonging to a company
'of militia, of Mexico, Andrain county, Mis
souri, stole a horse, and deserted his company.
Pursuit was made, but without success. The
pursuing party on their way, found Jackson
and a comrade, whom they arrested. The
rest is thus told by the gt. Louis Democrat:
"The point where they were overtaken was
in the northeast corner of Pike county. The
prisoners were secured, and the party started
on their return, They reached the town of
Santa Fe, where the citizens,. learning who
the prisoners were, demanded that they
be summarily despatched. Accordingly Jack-
Son and Farley were informed that the
must die. The intelligence seemed to have
but little effect upon them. Jackson re
marked : 'I want brave men to shoot me ; if I
must die,let it not be by the hand of,a, coward;
lam a brave man myself, let me be filled by
one.' Few and short were the prayers they
said. They died, as many others bad by their
hands, unshriyen Of their Sins.
"Jackson was from Texas

The Montreal (Canada) Oazelte of July 3d,
says:
A dreadful tragedy was enacted at St. Da
mace, a parish in the vicinity of St. Hyacinthe,
last Friday. A Iran named- Droletrauraered
his mother. It appears that he had strictly
observed his religious duties, being N very as
siduous in his attendance on the ovens, at
the close of which it was noticed that he was
deranged, and in a great state of excitement.
Two days before the perpetration of the mur
der he excommunicated, and, in the course of
the day, declared that excommunicated, and,
was lost beyond
redemption," at the same time manifesting
the intention of killing the cure of the parish.
He wee consequently watched and locked up.
His father came to see him next day and
brought him home. On Friday morning he
appeared to have recovered his senses, and was
very affectionate to his mother, a woman aged
sixty-two years. In the course of the day, how
ever, he felt unwell and his father pressed him
to tak sonic food. ire refused to do so, saying
he only wanted some milk. Thereupon he pro
ceeded to the dairy in the vicinity of the house,
and was followed by his mother. His father
Was looking out of the window at the time,
and saw her fall at the door. He immediately
ran out, and perceived that she had been
struck by an ax. The unfortunate wretch had
struck her three times on the head. She died
a few hours after. Young Drolet evinced the
greatest composure when charged with the
crime, and did not make the slightest attempt
to escape. At the coroner's inquest, held the
same and succeeding day, he declared that he
did not recognize the body of his mother, and
displayed unmistakable symptoms of insanity.
After his arrest, however, lie acknowledged
having killed her s and being interrogated as
to his motives for committing the crime, said.,
"I had a good mother ; but something impeded
me to kill her. I first intended to kill my fa
ther, but preferred killing my mother." Dro
let has heretofore been known as a man of a
kind, peaceable disposition, and only mani
fested symptoms of derangement three days
before the murder.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN TROY NNW YORK.
rllll,4Dant.rnra.
The Troy - (N. Y.) Times of July sth gives the
following details of an extensive burglary hi
that city on the night of the 3d of July. It
says:
Yesterday morning, Mr. Garrit Quacken-
IMO, On Visiting his store quite early, saw a
gas-light binning,. This seemed Very Strange
i
and led to an examination. 110 900 e. foram
many shelves cleared of their valuable con
tents, while in the southeast corner of the
building, about twelve or fifteen feet from the
round, was a hole which showed how the rob
bers had effected an entrance and made an
exit. This hole had been tunnelled through
two walls and more than thirty inches of solid
brickwork. it led into the second story of Mr.
G. B. Warren's barn, in the rear of Third street.
The burglars had clambered the fence on the
alley, ascended tO th 0 left Of Mt:barn, and there
commenced operations in a secluded corner.
Whether they operated for two or three occa
sions, or effected their object in a single night,
cannot be determined, It is thought that with
keen tools they could have done the work be
tween the hours of nine P. M. and three or four
A. M. The calculations were splendidly made
to reach the desired spot. A surveyor could
scarcely have succeeded better. There was a
quantity of 'bottles and barrels in the corner of
the barn, which must have been used to deaden
the sound. The hole was quite small, yet large
enough fora good-sized man to enter. Through
it was passed silks to the value of ten thousand
five blunlred dollars. How the burglars car
ried.off the goods without detection is a mys
tery, for the watchman never left the outside
of the store until after daylight. There was
much noise in the street, it us true; but it is
strange that the sound of tunnelling the walls
was not heard all over the neighborhood. The
burglars seemed to have hurried away with
their booty. On the barn stairs and in the gar
den of Mr. Warren's house several pieces had
beenArOnped in their hasty night. Numerous
tracks also greeted the eye.
A Ginar.u.r.A. TO Ind TRIM FOR FORTY-POI%
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Owner•

It will be recollected that about six weeks

marks of a high intelligence, impresses the be
holder as a bold, determined, dangerous man,
possessed of strongnative intellect. His atro
cities have been almost countless, and the
blood-thirstiness of his murders are enough to
make one shudder. lie is known to have
boasted, just before the occupation of Knox
ville by the Union forces, of having killed
ninety-seven Lincolnites, as ho termed all loy
alists, end bragged that he was going to Salt
ville, to till up the number to one
hundred. It is well known that he fulfilled his
threat at that point, by brutally murdering
three men in one of the hospitals there. He

misery. One of the specifications of the
charges against hire, is for torturing to death

In about two weeks, or as soon as the Court

Testimony by deposition will be taken of

einployed in writing out a history of his life
for publication.
When Ferguson was brought into court to
hear the chargeS against him read, the Nash
vine De.vatch thus sketches the scene: "Fer

stationed around the room. lie was seated at
the table in the middle of the room, and resting
his elbow on the table, reclined his head on his
hand. In thit attitude he remained, with his
baze riveted on the judge advocate, while the
loody charges and specifications were being
read. We observed him closely, and through
out this trying ordeal he never evinced an
emotion., His iron-knit countenance never
changed once. At the conclusion the judge
advocate remarked ' That's all ;> to which
Ferguson drew a long breath and, in a low
voice, remarked, Ws enough, I think.'"
HORP.IBIX MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER HUSBAND.
The Muscatine (Iowa) Journal of a late date
gives the following account of a horrible mur
der in Sigourney county in that State, It says:
Sheriff Merriam, of Keokuk county, came
up on the Western train yesterday, with a
man named W. J. Allen in custody, who was
arrested on charge of killing his wife at Si
gourney last Tuesday. When charged with
the crime, Allen denied his guilt, and said it
was dOllO by two strange men while ho was
working in the field_ Circumstantial evidence
was strong against him, however, and he
was arrested and taken before the magistrate,
who bound him over for $lO,OOO to appear at
the next term of the District Court, which,
being unable to pay, he was started off to
jail at Oskaloosa—there being none at Sigour
ney—under charge of the sheriff. They had
hardly gone over eight miles ere they were
overtaken by a large number of the citizens
of • Sigourney, who demanded the prisoner,
swearing they would hang him on the spot.
The sheriff promised to take him to the Mus
catine county jail, when, the crowd seemed
satisfied.
_
The whole party then turned back to Si.;
gourney. They had not gone more than half
-way, however, until the mob spirit again broke
out, and fresh attempts were made to seizethe
prisoner. Firmness manifested on the part of
the Sheriff, and Allows promising to make a
full confession, quelled the mob.
Allen then aonfessed, that lifer dinner ho
went to work in the held, leaving hit Wife
asleep on the bed, but soOn returned to the
house, and taking a single-tree, went to where
she lay, and with it beat out her brains. Ho
gave as his excuse for this heinous crime,
that he was engaged to be married to a girl
fifteen years of age. He thought he could kill
wife and get out of the serape by.charging
it to Some one else, and then settle down with
his new With.
After this 'confession the sheriff and his
prisoner-were permitted to go on their Way
unmolested.
Allen now denies his confession, and says he .
made it only because he was compelled to.
There js no doubt, however, in the minds of
the citizens Of Sigourney, that he is the guilty
man.
He is a man of middle ago and of rather dna
appearance. lie was married to his deceased
wife sonic - fifteen Tears since, and apparently
lived happily with her during that time. He
had no children.

,A writer in the Atlantic Monthly, - makes a
comparison of the resources and means of
payment respectively of England and Ame
rica, On the assumption that the rebellion had
continued until 1519, and that the United
States should then owe a national debt as
large as England's at the close of the Napo
leon War in 1815, viz $1;305,000,000. Lot it be
remembered that England has not only sus
tained this debt (even reducing it somewhat,)
but has prospered and grown rich during the
succeeding fifty years. At the respective pe
riods of comparison suggested, to wit : 1815
and 1869, the population of the United King
dom of Great Britain was less than one-half of
what the population of the United States will
be, and in amount of foreign trade was less
than one-third. In 78.15 the " factory system , '
was in its infancy and imperfectly organized,
the steam engine was unperfected and in corn_
paratively limited use. The railway, the
steamboat, the telegraph, the reaper, the
thrasher, and many other important improve
ments and discoveries which tend to augment
the productive power of nations, have all
come since that day. So far as relates to the
question of ability to sustain heavy financial
burdens, England, in 1815, can hardly be con/-
Pared for a moment with a country like our
own, possessing, as it does, in abundance and
perfection, the potent agencies of productive
and distributing power just referred to.

The new seven-thirty treasury notes aro a
very popular investment, and within a few
days large amounts have been bought up for
German bankers. These notes are of three
classes ; the 'first issue of August 15, 1864, ma
tures August 15, 1867; the second issue of June
15, 1865, matures Juno 15, 1888, and the third is
sue of July 15,1865, matures July 15,1863.
These are all payable in currency at maturi
ty, or are convertible into dve-twenty bonds
at the option of the holder. The July seven
thirty notes differ from the first and second
series, in that they have the following edlidi.
tion printed in red ink across the face of the
notes: "The Government reserves the right
of paying in coin the interest on this note, at
the rate of six per cent. per annum."
_Each of the issues of the seven-thirties bears
a different value every day OR account of the
adjustment of the daily accruing interest.

Controller Robinson, Albany, addreSses the
following letter in reply to one of the numer
ous communications addressed to him relative
to the asseSaing of the sbarenoldrae tuuattonal
banks:
'I`AT.I2 OF NEW YOUR, CONTROLLER'S 09TIOE,
ALBANY, June 29, Iti6s.
DEAR SIR: Your letter, making inquiries in
relation to assessing shareholders in national
'banks, is duly received. 1. hadpreviously•read
the circular published by the lion. B. H.
Spaulding, to which you refer. The printed
circular issued by me states the duty of asses
sots in this respect, as I understand it. Con
gress expressly authorized the taxing of the
SilarehO/den 111 national banks. The Legisla
ture, at its last session, passed a law, -4 ‘ the
enabling act," so called, which directs them to
be taxed in pursuance-of that authority. Ido
not see how any assessor can disregard that
law. , The act of Congress requires that they
shall not be taxed at any higher rate than
State hunks. Mr. Spaulding's circular assumes
that they will be taxed at a higher rate, be
cause they have no deduction on account of
U. S. stocks held by them, while the State banks
have such deduction to the extent that their
capital is iuvestcdiuthesestocks, The error of
this assumption is manifest. The rate of taxa
tion is one thing; the amount of assessment is
quite another and different thing. If a State
bank has invested any portion of its capital in
Government securities, it, can only be assessed
for the residue, but it is taxedat the same rate
as if it had no such investment, but not for the
same amount, Its Government stocks are ex
empt by act of Congress. But Congress made
no such exemption in the case of national
banks. On the contrary, in the very same act
in Which it requires them to invest in eloyera
ment stocks, it authorizes them to be taxed,
and makes no exemption hi their favor. The
decision of the Supreme Court does not affect
the question, for it does not and cannot over
ride the express act of Congress upon which
authority is based. If Congress has in this
Particular inadvertently given an advantage
to State banks, the assessors have not, for that
reason, any right to disregard the law. Con
gress alone has power to remedy the defect.
Too much property is already exempted from
taxation by reason of its being invested in
privileged securities,leaving the great burden
of taxation to fall upon the less fortunate.
The line of exemption should not be, extended
beyond the strict requirements of law.

The London Economist of June 24 says :
The bank return Of this week indicates that
the usual precautions are being taken by the
mercantile community at the approach of the
half year. There is less money offering in the
general market, where the bank rate is fairly
maintained. The provision for the anticipated
expenditure at the coming elections tends also
to limit the supply of money, and, in conse
quence, there is more activity in the discount
department at the bank. Exceptional opera
tions have nevertheless taken place at 2,,N per
cent., and there are no appearances to indicate
that other than the temporary causes alluded
to influence the marketer its future prospects.
In the stock exchange there is a steady , inqui
ry, with sufficient employment for money at a
per cent. on Government securities at short
periods.
The same Journal says:
Telegrams from Marseilles announce the
failure of Messrs. Charles itostantl Al Co., sugar
refiners, with liabilities estimated at about
.E 500,900. A favorable liquidation is expected.
Advmes from Bombay state the liabilities of
Mr. llyriuniee liermasjoe Coma whose failure
was announced in London on lie 23(1
reach about £3,300,000, and the assets £2,800,000.
A deed of assignment has been despatched to
England. 'There has been a very excited cot
ton market at Liverpool throughout the week,
and the sales have been on a very extensive
scale. On Wednesday 40,000 bales changed
hands, a number which has never been ex
ceeded, if even equalled. All classes seemed
ready to buy, and there is no doubt, if holders
had not exhibited some reserve in selling
their cotton, that the sales would have been
larger than they were. YeSterday, although
there was less excitement, yet, through the
firmness ofholders, prices advanced y 2 d, Prices
may be quoted li d to. 2:Md higher than last
Friday. To-day tlie market is much quieter,
the late large purchasers of spinners having
given them a present supply.

It is stated, in consequence of the scarcity
of corn and the high price at which it has sold
during the last twelve months, the cultivation
of that cereal is being rapidly renewed in
Egypt; while the cultivation of Cotton is, in
several districts, being discontinued.
Mr. Satterthwaite ( s American Circular says:
The London market for American securi
ties has, during the past week been charac
terized- by considerable animation and buoy
ancy.. United States Government Bonds have
boon in request on home account, and a rise of

time to-day touched 8734, closing &I% to;6 1 a
rise of nearlv eight dollars 0n the week.. The
