SUXBUIIY, MAY 8, 1874.
Ou Wednesday a young man by the
name of Isaac liowersox, aged about 20
years, residing near Ceutreville, Bnyder
county, committed suicide by banging Uitn--et?rf.-
At noon be left the house and said be
was going out to tbe baru to get some oats.
IrobaLly to feed their stock, aud did not
returu. Some time iu tbe afternoon be
was found iu tbe barn in a sitting posture
witb a rope (used at a patent bay fork to
unload bay,) fastened arouud bis neck.
He was buried at Ceutreville ou Friday.
Tbeie bas been a break in the Democra
tic combination of Ilarrisburg to obstruct
tbe progress of legislation by opposing tbe
confirmation of the additional law judges.
All tbe nominations were confirmed last
Thursday, except the nomination of Judge
Ingham. And so the bottom of that mis
erable conspiracy bas dropped out.
Ex-Yice President Breckenridge is lying
at tbe point of death with hemorrhage of
tbe lungs. Tbe abilities and opportu
nities of this man were such as to render
it easy for him to win tbe undying respect
and admiration of a great nation. Of bis
career, however, be made nothiug but a
brilliant failure ; and when Vie goes down
to his grave, tbe fittest treatment bis
memory can receive will be to cover it witb
the charitable mautle of silence.
The Democratic State Central Committee
met on Monday last iu Philadelphia, and
reconsidered the rcsolutiou passed by tbiiin
in Maicb to bold the State Convention iu

aud tbe 20th of August as tbe time, for the
ut-sembling of that body.
State Tr.EA.svr.ER;. On Monday last,
lion. Robert V. Mackey eutcred ou bis
third term as Stale Treasurer. Twice was
Mr Mackey elected to that rcsposible posi
tion by the Legislature, and this new term
Le was choseu by the people. In the many
trials that must ever beset the decisions of
an official entrusted with the funds of so
large an opulent a Common wealth as is our
own, Mr. Mackey bag invariably proved
himself an able and conscientious servant
of bis fellow citizens. Iu a position requT
iug the highest business tact and strictest
fiuancial probity he bas won goldcu opin
ions from sternest censors. As a firt-class
financier and au honest scrvaut of the
State, Treasurer Mackey has shown hit
self worthy of the continued confidence re
posed iu him by the people of Feuusylva-

Last week the shipments of lumber from
Williamsport, by tail and canal, reached
a total of 5,.777iJu feet, a falling off", as
compared, wi.lb the previous week, of CS1,
VH7 feet This decline wa9 caused by the
stormy weather which prevailed for several
days. The shipment for tbe year, up to
tbe l.'th ult., now foot up tbe enormous
total S0,040,143 feet, an increase over the
same period last year of 2Gijt20't feet.
A man giving his name as George AY.
Thompson, and representing bfmself as a
member of tbe Odd yellows Lodge of Lo
yansport, Indiana, is "doing" some of the
lodges in this State. He claims assistance
from the neighborhood on the ground that
he is in want of work and penniless. Poca
hontas Lodge, at West Chester, relieved
bis wants, a few days since, to the extent
of $7, and subsequently learned that the
f.-llow is a swindler. He is a young man,
stoutly built.
The supply of oil being greatly in excess
of the demand, and the price too low to
give a fair profit on the production, the oil
men have determined to shut down for a
time, until better prices are offered. The
Titusville Herald reports the stoppage of
one hundred aud thirty wells that were
actually drilling, and twenty-seven that
were ready to stait. It is thought that
nearly all the wells will shut down for at
least ijincty days.
The Senate Committee on Fiuauee (says
a Washington dispatch) bad a long sessiou

There is no difficulty amoug tbe members

clause, of which they are in favor, but there
is no agreement ou other branches of a
financial bill, the members differing widely
in their opinions.
On Tuesday morning, April lst., Mr.

It will be seen from this statement that
while the United States has$KG!,000,00l)of
volume of currency circulation, England
has SSfXiO.OOO. Wc have sixteen dollars
and a fraction per capita, England has
twenty-four dollars, Germany has twenty
six dollars, and France bas thirty-four dol
lars. Now, if we had currency in the United
States equal to what Eugland has per
capita, or Germany, or France, we would
have, according to the per capita of Eng
land, 5ft71,000,Ot0 in currency ; or if we
bad what France 1ms r capita, we'would
have $1,483,000,(100 ; or, if we bad what
Germany bni wo would have 1,072,000,
000. The business of tbe United States in the
aggregate, says the Miners'1 Journal, is
tuoro extensive than that of any of these
European countries, and its teiritory would
swallow them all up, and you could scarce
ly find them afterwards, wN'ch, of course,
prevents the same facility of circulation
as in countries of smaller dimensions and
a more dense populate Our country is
also comparatively new one, with an im
mense territory rodeveloped, and which
increases in population in twice the ratio
of the whole icreaso in all the- throe couu
tries named -ombiued, and we havto a cir
culation of only Sltl.72 jtr cajVJti, while
Euglaudas S24.-J8, Germany f'JO.SO, and
France 34.72. France, it wil be seen,
has dJuhlc that of the United: States, Eng
land about one-third more er cajiila, than
tie United States, aud wa all know what
France has accomplished with her volume
of currency in paying ofr the immense in
demnity in so short a time, levied on her
by Germaay.
Wc have also freed 4,000,000 slaves who
require tcu to Ollcen dollars curreucy when
tivey did not require one dollar before.
Labor is double aud trcbblo the prices
paid iu the above named countries, and all
our products are much higher also, aud
therefore it requires a much larger volume
of currency to transact the same amount of
business in the United States.
In these countries the laboring classes
have but little money iu their pockets,
while in the United Stales the working
classes hold in their pockets at least three
dollars in the aggregate to one dollar held
by tbe working classes iu the European
countries, and this amount is withheld from
circulation. Iu many sections of our ex
tended country the banks are not numer
ous, and those who must have funds for
their business purposes are compelled to
keep it at borne, and it does not go into cir
culation the same as it would if it were de
posited in banks, &c These are all facts
which none cau dispute, aud to every re
flecting mind would be sufficient to satisfy
him that we ought, to place us even on a
footing with these countries, to have at
least a oue-third greater volume of curreucy
to transact our business will thau is re
quired in these old countries.
None but a money -changer, who tleires
to rob the people of their hard earnings
in the shape of shaves and high rates of
interest, would dare to do so in the pre

The Dheadkll, Tragedy, at Home
stead, Pa., A Whole Family
Putciiered and Bcbxed.
riTT.suuRO, April 30. J
The partculars of the terrible tragedy in
Allegheny county the murder and burn
ing of the llamnet family as correctly as
can be learned, are as follow :
the scexe and the victims.
John llamnet, a well-to-do-farmer, aged
about forty years, lived on the Lebanon
road, about a mile and a-balf back of the
village of Homestead, on the Monongahala
river. John Ilamuet came from Euglaud
in lfv3, and was married some ten years
ago. He was considered well elf, and was
supposed to have considerable money and
Government bonds in the house at all
times. He was a good, quiet citizen, at
peace, so far as was kuown, with all his
neighbors, never having any quarrels, but
being, ou the contrary, a man whose chief
characteristic was the settled plan of iuiua
ing his own business.
THE butchery on tub threshold.
Last night llamnet and his wife had
been visitiug the village of Homestead,
about a mile and a half from their resi
dence, and it was in all probability fifteen
minutes after 11 o'clock before they return
ed. They must have been stricken down
immediately on entering their house, as
from the appearance of their bodies they
had not yet laid aside their outer wrap
inog i., to nnsstuie mat the murderers
were iu the bouse on the return of the pa
rents, and finding themselves discovered,
killed, them also iu order to escape. A
bloody hatchet was found which fitted ex
actly to the wounds m il.ah- ri uoy,
whose throat was also cut from ear to ear.
1IL RNIXO THE HOl. sK A!I THE DBAD.
There is a blank iu the story from the
time the Hamnets left Homestead till 3
o'clock this moruing, when Frank Acker
nian, a coal digger, was awakened by a
bright light learning in the windows of bis
bed room. He aroused his companion,
and they both hurried to the scene of the
fire. Whcu they arrived the roof had fal
len iu, but the brick walls were still stand
ing, aud out through the glassless windows
the glare of a bed of burning coals within
gave forth an entense heat and dazzling
light.
X liviug souls but these two men were
there, and they stood for some time in
8ileucc, looking upon each other speechless
with horror. When they had recovered
from the terror that for the nonce had al
most paralized them, they gave an alarm
and in a few minutes the neighbors for
miles around were flocking to the scene.
It soon became apparent that the dread
fears which had first fallen upon the minds
of tbe two discoverers were but too well
founded. The sickening stench of burning
bodies filk. d the air and gave an indescriba
ble feeling of fear to the spectators.
DRAGGING OUT THE CHARRED REMAINS.
It was daylight before the ruins cooled
off, and then as soon as possible a search
was commenced for bodies. The first body
dragged from the ruins was that of farmer
llamnet. It was a charred and almost
unrecognizable mass of human flesh. Por
tions of his partially consumed clothing
were, however, still in places, clinging to
the unconsumed remains. The face was
blackened aud charred. The search was
continued, aud iu a few moments the hor
ror of the jeople was increased upon the
discovery aud the dragging out of another
body from the ruins.
This was Robert Smith, the apprentice,
who was badly disfigured. His right haud
was whole, but shrunken and shriveled.
The left arm was di.slix-Htpil at tb almnlder,
the member lying across Ins breast. The
feet were entirely burned oil', the shin
boues protrt""n8 from the burned aud
team" & flesh. The throat was cut In
three places, the horrible gashes gaped op'
at those who gazed upon Ll """ "l
tacle. A third boJj was Relieved to have
been that of -mma llamnet, four years of
age, but "er features were totally unrecog
nizable. T,1U lown;r members were entirely
,)oiioyed, from the ends of the small ribs,
which protruded through the back, near
the spinal column.
A fourth body found was that of Agnes,
the wife of Mr. llamnet. She was recog
nized by portions of clothing which were
still cliuging to the remains. Her outside
dress had been burned, but the undercloth
ing was uot entirely consumed. The wires
of her hoop skirt were still about the body,
furnishing tbe proof that she had not retir
ed to bed when she met her death. Ida
Ilamuet, the eldest daughter of, eightyears
old, is still missiiug, but it is supposed that
she also fell a victim to the wholesale
slaughter.
THE AUTHOR OK THE TRAGEDY.
The supposed auihoi of this most unna
tural tragedy is Ki nest Love, a young Ger
man of about twenty-live years of age, who
has been iu the employ of farmer llamnet
from midwinter up till the time of the tra
gedy. He has not been seen to-day, which
is sunielhiug, iudeed, very unusual, and
though search has been made for him by
several detectives, up to midnight to-night,
uo clew to his whereabouts has been ob
tained. Love is a stout youug man, with
a florid complexion, aud whose dialect
would at once betray his nationality. He
has uot been iu this country any great
length of time, but be proved a valuable
assistant to Ilamuet, who at all times spoke
well of the young mau as beiug sober and
industrious.
The police and citizcus iu the neighbor
hood of tho crituu aro out scouting the
woods iu search of the fugitive, and his
tscajic will prove a difficult undertaking.
THE ELDEST DAUGHTER MISSING.
When your correspondent left the ruins
of llamuet's house to-night all the charred
rubbish had beeu removed, aud yet a most
minute examination failed to bring to light
any portion of the bones of the eldest
daughter. What has become of her is now
a source of much gossip. It is rumored
that she was murdered aud her body con
cealed iu the woods, and parties are in
; hopes of discovering them. They are now
i actively searching beneath the brush wood,
j and are also exploring the river banks.
j LATER.
j Pittmiuro, May 1. A coroner's jury
i met this inorniusr, and after hearing testi
I money adjourned until Tuesday evening
' next, "in hope of finding further evidence"
to establish clearly the fact that murder
had beeu committed. The remains of the
missing girl, Ida, or Emma, were found
among the (kbris this morning. The com
missioners of the county have offered a re
ward of one thousand dollars, and the rela
tives of the murdered family another one
thousand dollars, for the apprehension of
the murderer.

THE MURDERER DISCOVERS HIMSELF niS
XRREST AND CONFESSION.
The unparalled crime of Wednesday
nighc lant, the murder of the Humnclt
family Homestead, consisting of father,
two daughters and au adopted son. was the
work, as has geuerally been soppnse? of
the firman farm baud, Finest Mutzer
as it now turns out that Love was an as
sumed name. The murderer according to
bis owu statement, had been digging post
holes on Wednesday, and in the evening he
went to a saloon, some distance off, and
got a glass or two of beer. He also bought
five cents worth of candy for the children,
Ida and Emma." He knew that Mr. and
Mrs. Hamnctt had gone out on a visit, and
when on his way home he became possessed
of an irresistible inclination to rob tho
house. He thought he must 'have Ham
nett's money. When he got to the house"
he found the children in peaceful slumber,
and the parents still absent. Fearing de
tection if he began the work of pillage, he
made the terrible resolve to slay the help
less children, aud most speedy and fearful
was the execution. The boy Smith was
dispatched with one blow of the axe, then
the oldest girl, Ida one blow each sutlic
ing. Poor little Emma was aroused as the
skull of her sister was crushed in ; but she
had only time to utter one pitiful shriek
hen the descending steel went crashing
through. i,er braiu. The first act of the
bloody draiuikwas completed, and all was
still. Mentzer then lay in wait for the
pareuts, and as the husband entered the
door he brained him with the axe, one blow
sufficing. In another moment the wife was
in the last agonies of death, and the second
act was over. The house was then search
ed for money, aud, if the murderer tells the
truth, he got but fifteen dollars. With so
many ghastly corpse around him, it is not
likely that he made a very careful search.
He denies firing the house, but no one be

ARREST OF SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
St. Louis, May 4.
A special from Little Pock, Arkansas,
says that Judge Searle and Bennett, of fie
Supreme Court, were arrested last uiglt,
on their arrival by the Memphis train at
Argenla, opposite Little Pock, by Cap:ain
Williams, acting under the orders of Gov
ernor Baxter.
The Judges refused to be arrested with
out proper authority ; whereupon Captain
Williams made a signal, and a baud of
armed men entered the cars, wift cocked
revolvers, and Searle aud Bennett were
forcibly taken from tho train. Up to the
time when this dispatch was written they
had not been heard of in Little Pock.
The Supreme Court was to have conven
ed at Little Pock to-day. Judge Stephen
son, also of the Supreme Court, was also
on the train, but it seems his presence was
not kuown, else he too would have been
arrested. The affair creates great excite
ment at Brook's camp, aud serious trouble
is apprehended unless Col. Pose interferes
for release of the judges.

in the various departments of city trade

that when Congress should take action
upon the finance bill, that whatever that

because the country would be done with
looking to Hercules for help, and each nan
would put his own shoulder to his respec

so has the President, wise'y say many ;
badly say some. One thing remains cer
