'FINE AIVC/AFL , !PAIVIC.
The inhiirredtibh in Cobh - beg been
seized upon by those greedy
.and soulless
rascals yirlimio only Clod is the Almighty
to amass fortunes from the suf.
brings and' deprivation of tho working
chases, %lime is no doubt that the out
break in Cuba, Juts for a lont time been
evpected l , and secretly encouraged, by
vpeculatqrs in our largo cities, who quiet
ly purchased Inrgo quantities of tho
taplo etutaiodity of Cuba, sugar, and
waited for thejanic which an exaggera
ted impressinit of tho Cuban Tovolution
would create.
. The, time has come—the people of
Cuba have broken out in open revolt,
en 4 the prospects of their success in
freeing themselves from
. Bpanish rule are.
ilitite favorable, The sugar speculators
of New York and other large cities, who
had drained the markets of "all the sugar
except a bore Builicioney to prevent the,
public front suspecting foul play, new
proclaim it throughout the land that
"sugar is scarce, on account of the war
ie Cuba, and it will ho still more so, as
'the war will continuo &long time;", and
they demand an exorbitant price for this
imlisponsiblo article of foOd, heedless
of the (het that they are robbing every
poor family in the country, and crimiling '
every grocer of limited means who 'had
v
not tho good fortuno to'lay in a largo
stook of sugar I.lOforehand.
But for the destruction of business in
the South by'Radieo reconstruction acts,
our markets col& have been supplied
' with sugar and moleNs from the South
ern States i, but B i iad cal. rule in that un
happy section of our\ country has choked
out overything Ilk° business energy. But.
for the prolongation of the yar through
Radical incompetencY and Radical ma
chinntions, ivhieh gave, our liereditaTy
enemy, England, the long sought for ot
' portunity to,destroy our pommoreo by
meant; of priVateors under the rebel flag,
our hundreds of ships would flood our
inarkets .‘vitlt' sugar
, and molasses, or
their fliib:stitiitaii, front distant lands.—
llti • these ' sources of supply are
' cut ofl' . .i . frPult ' us' ' at ' present,' and ,
the ihmpirbs' Who':fatten upon the blood
of their flillew-rnen have'a faVorable op•
, portfttilq to plunder our people by whole
Halo. '' . ' ,
The ceittializing system of National
Banking has thrown, nearly the' whole
money Power of the country into? ,the
hands of a . few men, and that power they
use to 0101 the markets and run lir
tho 'prices o 1 the necessaries of life. Tho
pooplo Of ilui, United States may justly
Mama the. Radical ,party lenders for tho
present high prlco of sugar, and more
espdeially those !`devoutly loyal" villains,
the monoy-changers of. Now York and
other largo cities, who hoard their money
in bonds and National Banks until they
perceive a favorable opportunity
to increase their ill-gotten gains by taking
a portion of food from the mouth of every
poor man, woman and chile in our
country. -„
It is time that those outrages should
cease. It is time for the people to riso
in their might and demand from their
representatives in Congress protection
against the rich robbers who despoil
them under the name of "speculation."
It' the men now In Congress will not
protect the people, the people must elect
mew Who will do so ; and if their will is
set at batight, and the representatives' of
their choice nro denied admittance to
Congress by the tools of
tho National Banking,
bondholding and motiopehanging uristoe•
rach . the Pooplo should rosort to force
to protect themselves against the ". rich
and , rospootable " robbers who amass
fortunes by speculating in tho necessar
ies of life. Thoro is food enough fur 011,and
for any cliqUo to eniso the prices of'
provisions, in the winter season, fOr their
own' sol Ash purposes,is a . oriminal action,
and 'Ond:dpeorving of condign punish
., ment. i "•. .
It is not likely that this sugar panto
will 'cantintte, .how Over ., The hoarded
sugar must bo,pot i tiPon the market, or
the holdora Will'loso upon it. Should
the war iti 'Cuba continue a long time,tho
opportunity for making money by the
increased production of sugar and mo•
lasses will bo eagerly embraced by tho
people of the Southern States and other
conntriee adapted to the growth of sugar
cane. Tho production of sorghum and
maple' taigar *ill also increase in an nil
. exampled manner, and our home supply
will be equal to our home demand, with
some to spare for exportation to less
fortanato and productive countries.
We adviso our people, therefore, not
to be . alormed by this sugar panic, but to
ruches() only sufficient sugar and, mo
lasses to supply their wants for a short
time. We may mistaken,
but . wo Micro that if otir
peoplo will "accept the situation" on the
sugar . tpiestion •without excitement or
alarm, the time will soon come when
thoso seoundrels who are now endeavor
ing to amass fortunes by hoarding up the
sugar the poor man needs.to sweeten the
soothing drink or his ailing wife : or
dying children, Will find that they have
overreached themselves, and that a
sudden ileclino in the Hoo Of sugar has
ruined them, and 110 the poor who use

TILE ASSICSSORSIIIP.
During the late Presidential campaign,.
it was generally announced . by those who
advocated the nomination of Gen. Grant,
'that in case of his eleetion, the ; soldiers
who voted for him should receive the full
benefit of the services Perforated by them
for th i e,Radical party. Qon. Gtsnt owes.
his position as President to the votes and
influence of the soldiers and their friends',
and loud were the promises made by cer•
taia Radicals of the party favors to bo
bestowed upon the " Boys, in Blue."
Many men voted the Radical ticket for
the sole reasen that they believed the Rad
ical party, if.in power, would aid the sol
diers of the Union.
Ea
Now, what do wo behold? It . was
I:inerally understood that tho position oe
Assessor of Internal Revenue in this
District was to be filled by Capt. 'Michael
Walter, of this city. Politically we differ
will' . Capt. Walter, but we know he 'is a
brave soldier .who lies been crippled in
the service of his country, and we believe
hint to be a courteous and honorable
gentleman, who is in every way worthy
of the position. Resides, he is aropresen
tative of the German element of the
Republican party, and hence his claim is
one which is not to be lightly set: aside.
Notwithstanding all this, there is a
project on foot to throw Capt. Walter
overboard, and give tle position .to a
civilian. We are inter l ined that several
competitors, none of whom over smelled
powder burned in actual conflibt, have
already applied for the position,,each one
of whom hopes to succeed •thrOugh,the
ofluenco of kid•glovod, aristooratical
friends, while Capt.. Walter is to' be set
aside because ho ie "only a Dutchman 1"
Such ingratitude may suit Radicals, and
as the Radical party is in power it Pres
ent, wo suppose the Domocrac must
submit to their choice; but wo ckll the
attention of those Germans who voted
the Republican ticket to this "nice little
game," and we hope they will ace justice
done to Capt. Walter. - The Democracy
of ]forks county are not over fond o
Radical officials, but If whey must have
thorn they prefer mon who have eStab
'lobed their claim to " loyalty," by sor-
vice in the kid, and to the respect 'Of
their fellow•citizens by unobtrusive and
gentlemanly conduct at home,
GEN. GRANT still refuses to rido in the
carriago with Prosident.Johnson on Inau
guration day. It is' reportod that the
President will
, sayo him the trouble, of
objocting,by attending to business on that
day until 10 a. m. l and taking no part in
tho ceremonies. •

On Monday evening the remains of
John Wilkes Booth worn received at Bal•
timoro front Washington. They were
contained in a plain pine box, two Gov
ernment blankets being wrapped about
the person. The original box, which was
much decayed, having been rotted by
dampness, was exchanged for a -plain
coffin,
Tho remains woro brought to Baltimore
as Secretly as possible,_ and deposited. at
the %moron] of Mr. 'Weaver. It became
noisod abort that his body was thorn, and
.at an early hour in tho morning crowds
of people bogan to assemble, all anxious
to got a glimpso of tho last mortal remains
of the assassin. All woro denied ad•
mission, however, until about 3 p. tn.,
when tho box was again opened and the
body, or rather skeleton, was transferred
to a splendid metallic coffin.
There was but little of the remains left,
the flesh having all disappeared, leaving
nought but a mass of blackened bones.
Upon ono foot was an old army shoe, and'
upon the other a boot cut open upon the
top. This covered the loft foot, the log
having been broken in his leap from the
stage-box of the' theatre after ho • had
astassinated President Lincoln. Tho
remainder' of Ids dress consisted of a
rough brown coat, black pants, and vest,
all of which were rotten and decayed.
Tho hair all remained, and the silken
curls of glossy black reminded ono of tho
' the handsotno moo which poople once so.
much admired, but the intelligent face
was gone. During the afternoon hun
dreds of peoplo visited the place, and
porno were allowed to view-,the remains.
- After a short time, it was found that
the curious crowd had cut the blanket
almost to pieced to got .souvenirs. •
The body was deposited in a vault at
the Gollerninent Comptery, and in a few
days wan secretly interred, in the pro
sonco of the family, at Baltimore 'Como
tory, beside the remains of Junius Brutus
Booth the sonier.. ;
There seemed to be a disposition ()Oho
part of many people to got up a demoni
tration, but the relatives of Booth bitterly
opposed anything of the sort, and arrang
ed to inter the remains secretly, as abovo
stated, .
' A number of persons have contributed
to defrity.the expenses of the reintermente,
of Payne, for whose remains there has j ad
yet boon no claimant.

4 Mystiry of Tilrelve.Years Holive4l•3o,
- Lash
The Murderer, of Dr. Burdell
ered, aceording to his. own circumstantial
confession and all the probabilities of the
ease, to have been the same Charles Jef
fords who afterwards killed John Walton
and John Matthews, and who was himself
murdered by a follow convict at Auburn
about a year as°. : '
1 The confession Was made to a deteetive ,
named Jefferson Jinks, who, under - di*
rections from headquarters, proceeded to
Cutehogne: L. where Jefferds was
staying, and gradually .mado,hiniself his
intimate friend and constant companion.
At ono time Jefferds was warned by 'a
Mrs. Walton, by letter, of the character
of his friend, and the detective nearly lost
hia life in consequence..
Jefferds, did not show the letter to the
officer, but that' day, when they wore
out in a rowboat a mile front shore,
the following little episode took
place, as •desetibed by Officer " He I
suddenly threw down the Oars, sprang to
his feet, and, with the look of a perfect
devil in his,.eyes, ho sprang towards - me,
ail if to grlipplo with me. I remained
perfectly quiet. When, just as *he was
near ' enough to seize mo t ' he paused,
looked me full in the eyes,
and with his
fists cletietied, his whole form trembling
with rage at thOvery idea, he ground out
with horrible Oaths 'between his shut
tooth and white lips, ',links, if I really
thought you wore a detective you'd never
roach that shore alive; if I swing. for it
fo-naorrow.t .1 noverwas so scared in my
'life, and I never trusted myself in a boat
with him again," It so happened that
the officer had, by a little 'manoeuvre of
his own,' read the letter of Mrs.. Wal
ton to Jofferds before that gentleman ,pe
rused it himself, and was thdrefore some
what prepared for the outbreak, and had
ready the plausible story which disarmed
'suspicion. P 4 ' •
Jefferds' declaration is all the more
convincing
Cunninghamn that it does not release
Mrs. from the charge of
complicity with his crime. , He, too, was,
a friend of that malign woman, between
whom and his mother, Mrs. Walton,
there appears to have be,on ClOBO . . inti
meg. Ho boasted of 4ho, Heine illicit
favors froin Mrs. Cunningham which were
enjoyed by her, boarder, John J. Eckel,
and claims to have been, instead of Eck:
el, the instrument of her revonge,.. He
alleges that ho was at Dr. Burdell's house,
No. 81,130nd street, on the evening of,
the assassination; that ho was seated in
the parlor endplaying on the banjo for
the amusement' of, the Cunningham girls,
when Dr. Burden entered the house and
met' Mrs. Cunningham, with whom 'he
had a violent quarrel.
The Doctor then proceeded to his room
in the third story, and Mrs. Cunningham
to‘hors on the second floor. Jeffords, to
whom tbo dispute had been audible, Mole
out of the parlor, wont to Mrs. Cunning
hain, and, after bearing her account of
what had occurred, volunteered to " , go
up stairs and do for the oid rascel '
meaning Dr. Burdell. The' woman, WhO
cordially , hated Dr. 13iirdell and'hoped to
inherit' his possessions, encouraged the
young detnierado's sympathetic rage. She
informed urn of' the position - of the doc
tor's room ; ho drew a slender two-edged
dagger which holiabitually carried, and
started on his cowardly errand.
When ho stealthily glided into, the room
the doctor was seated at his desk, looking
over some papers by a single gai light.
So engaged was ho that he did not hear
the stop of his raurdoror, and the first in
timation ho had.of danger was a sudden
blow, struck from behind, over his shoul
dor, and aimed at his heart. The blow
was instantly. repeated, again reiterated
' as rapidly as, the nervous energy of the
assassin could wield the knife. With a
single cr of "murder," the doomed man
sprang f rom' his chair and'grappled with
defier& ; they struggled from bide to side
of the room, overthrowing the chairs and
- dragging the table out of' place, the doe-
for striving to seize the dirk or to hold
thci muiderons arm, the' every blow of
which was cutting- away his life. "At
one time," said Jeffords, "the - old follow
caught my arm and twisted me against
the wall, and for a minute I 'thought lie
would bo too ninny for mo • 'but T put my
hand against the wall and saved myself
fl'om going down, and with the other I
'reached under and hit him in *the kid
neys, and that fetched him. It was our,
fighting about the room that 'made the
blood tly so all about on the walls. • The
old follow was stronger than I gave him
credit for, and wo had a, mighty tough
tumble of it ; b u t you see had the knife,
and I kept the time jabbing' him With
Uit, and ho bled a great deal, and that
weakened him, I .suppose. Yes, ,air, I
did that little job tnyself;.yes, I did ,for
him; but ho fought like the devil; I
'once thought he'd a got the best of tne,
bilt,tho punch in the ribs fetched him;
'did•you, go into the room? well, you re
menther the map that hung'on the wall—
well, they could hey° found the marks of
my hands on that map, if they'll looked;
. oncui; 'when he neerly turned me, I throw'
mylband haek, and it struck 'flat against
the ivah) or the map; that's `the time I
thobght he'd be too many for me."
The murder accomplished, jeffetds left
the mem, and -Was 10 out of the house by
ono of the inmates, tirwhoni all necessa
ry precautions were taken efterwat'd to
cover up the !reeks of the real murderer,
and cast suspicion in other directions.
The.assassin's description of Cho whole
struggle tallies With theappearence of the
room and of the 'wounds found on the
body of Dr. Burden after the murder;
while the facts of Jefferd's intimacy with
Mrs. Cunningham, and his character as,a
reckless brave, help to corroboratb 'his
testimony.
It is said of him that ho "habitually
went armed, and on the slightest Provo-,
cation would shoot s -or cut whoever
• chanced to provoke his wrath." Ho de
clared on one occasion .that "he didn't
think so much of killing a man; ho would
put any man out of his misery for five
.hundred dollars if he was ;ailed, and
'wouldn't get caught tit it either."
Strange as the story seenwit was and
is implwttly believed by those 'high in.
'police authority.
