of mob-law , murders. Thla time Julge
Lynch carried out his bloody dearefi
the Capitalbftbe State, close by the Ex
ecutive Mansion, andwithitta few squares
of the headquarters of the Commandant
of the ,military post, where two compan
ies of LTnited States soldiers were encamp
ed. The Mayor of the city was advised
of the intended violence, but ibok no ef
ficient measures:to prevent it.
The facts of the case have been hereto
fore published: . The house of Mr. Henry
Murray, a citizen of Nashville, was en
tered on Sunday night by a' negro burg
lar, or a white burglar disguised as a ne
gro. Mr. Murray was waked . from his
sleep by his wife ; who was startled by a
noise in her bed chamber. He xaised
hit:11801in his bed and saw a man in the
room, who immediately, told' him not to
move or he would shoot him. The burg
lar then retreated'to the,door, Mr.. Mur
ray followed him. ' As he opened the
door he fired, inflicting a
the
on Mr.
Murray, who kept up the pursuit for a
square or two, and then returned to his
home and sank exhausted on his bed.
Mr. Murray took the burglar and mur
derer to be a negro who lived in the neigh
borhood named David Jones. The moon
was shining and he was positive as to the
identification. His wife knew Jones by
sight, hut was not certain that he was the
man..ln less than au hour from the time
of the shooting Jones was arrested at his
own house: He stoutly denied all know l-;
edge of the affair, and when broils:le; into
Mr. Murray's presence and by him charg
ed with the crime he solemnly asserted
his innocence. The wounded man made
his ante - -7nOrtem statement, and soon af
terwards died. Jones was committed to
jail, where he remained until the next
evening. There was no evidence whatev
er against him except the statement of
the murdered man, who thought 119 iden
tified him in the moonlight.
About eight o'clock on Sunday even
ing a crowd of men gathered in front of
the Maxwell House, and after they had
been reinforced by delegations from other
-parts-of-the-city-theyproceeded-to-thejail,
held pistols to the Warden's head until he
delivered up the key, - then invading the
prisoner's cell (seven other men being con
fined with - him) -- they drove him into a
corner, and put two hilliest through bim
to reduce him to subjection. He was next
carried to the public square and suspend
ed from a lamp post. A squad of police
men charged on the mob and cut down
the negro before life was extinct, and keep
ing the ruffians at bay with their revol
vers, they carried him into the city Hall,
where he was brought back to conscious
ness. He died in a °few hours from the
pistol wounds, protesting his innocence
with his last breath. •
When suggested to the Mayor that the
United States troops should be called on
to assist the civil authorities in guarding
the jail he refused to make the demand,
pretending to apprehend a possible collis
ion between. the citizens and the soldiers.
After Jones had been murdered then the
Mayor applied for the troopsi'and two com
panies of infantry were marched into the
square when there was nothing for them
to do. About the same time the Gover
nor of the State appeared on the scene,
and made a speech to the fragment of the
mob which still hung about the place, in
which ho indulged in the usual platitudes
about "the majesty of the civil Jaw," if
delivered half an hour sooner the speech
might have none some good, but at that
particular hour it was very absurd.
We have never read of a more coward
ly, brutal murder than was the shooting
and hanging of this prisoner, -and if the
Governor has such regard for the majesty
of the law as his speech would seem to in
dicate, he has a fine opportunity for vin
dicating the same by punishing these reek
less rioters. They were not disguised, and
there ought to be no difficulty in identi
fying them.—llalt. American.

arathese : On SundaY morning about day

asked to see his wife Eirima';`whO
ing there at that time as a nurse. Mr. Da.

yet arisen from bed,'. acid 'she dressed,
came down, and : stepped, out side of the
back door to talk with her husband. Geo.
then asked her Whether she' would return
with him home—she having left him some
months ago. She refused. After some
further pursuation, he again asked her to
return with him to his.hotne, and on her
hesitating to answer affirmatively, he drew
a revolver and shot her three times, twice
in the face and once back of the ear. She
fell on the pavement, close to the door,
and cried for help. As soon as he had
fired the third shot he dropped the revol
ver, and attempted to make his escape by
the gate leading out on the pike, but see
ing Mr. Walters coming up the pike, who
bad been attracted by the firing,he return
ed to the hack yard, picked up his revol
ver and shot himself twice in the forehead,
one shot glaocing,Upwards passed out un
der the hair ; the other entered the skull,
passed through the brain,, lodging in the
back part of the head, producing death in
a few minutes. The revolver used was .a
Colt's fire-shooter. - - . -

of her farther, Cluirles Solomon, who lives
close by, and the proper medical atten
dance-given by-Dr. Wheeler.--Her wounds
though dangerous, are not fatal, and she
is now on a fair way for recovery.
. The cause of this rash and fatal deed,
was domestic trouble, and jealousy on the
part of the husband. Those who knew
him represented him as an industrious,
quiet, and, peaceable man. She had not
lived with' him for some time; and, it is
said, lived a loose life with otherdnen.—

Ser . The provisions of the soldiers' home
stead bill which has just passed Congress
and received the signature of the Presi
dent, are is folloWs Every officer, Sol
dier, sailor and marine who served in the.
war for a period exceeding ninety days,
may, in settling upon the public lands,
under the homestead laws, count the pe
riod
of his service as a part of the five
years' residence required to obtain a pat
ent to one hundred and sixty acres. The
actual residence on the land must be at
least one year. Six months are allowed
after the location of the , hind, before the
residence upon it must commence. Per
sons discharged for wounds or. disability
may have their whole period of enlist
ment counted. In ease of the death of
a person who would be entitled. to the
privileges of the act, his widow, if un-.
married, or minor children, if the widow
be married or dead, are entitled to its
benefits. Any person 'to whom the bill
gives the right to acquire land may have
the same entered and the required settle
ment and residence made by au agent.
This is the most important feature of the
bill, for a comparatively small number
of soldiers will themselves become home
stead settlers. The right to transfer their
privileges to an agent will doubtless be
of a considerable value to them.
051-The New York Herad publishes a
five-column article on the subject of enor
mous frauds on the national revenue in
that city under President Johnson's Ad
ministration. The Herald states that the
present Grand Jury of the United States
District Court have been investigating the
peculations and bad seven hundred cases
up before them, indictments for fraud hav
ing been found against many of 'President
Johnson's prominent Government officials
and dealers. It is charged that from 1865
to 1869 the whisky distillers in New York
paid scarcely any taxes, the 'officials aid
ing them in all their illicit operations and
sharing the plunder. The combined steal
bags are alleged to amount to $80,000,000,
which the penalties added. would be in
creased to 160,000,000. One hundred and
seven indictments were returned by the
Grand Jury on Saturday, and warrants
have been issued for the arrest of the par
ties, who will soon be brought into court.
A wealthy distiller who had learned that
he was indicted went to the District At
, -torney's office on Saturday and voluntar
ily gave bond in - 640,000 for his appea
rance.

being so long in the water. The reason
the tools were left in the well was because
the sudden rush of water prevented the

be well for persons to avail themselves of

TEE WAYNESBORO' BRANCH RAILROAD.
—The Baltimore Gazette of Thursday con
tains this-ntatement :, "On ThUrsday Dr.
Herring :,and D.. 8. Russell, of Waynes
boro', Pennsylvania, visited this city in
the interest of the branch railroad -pro
posed to be,bugt frchn that town to eon . -
nect with the - Western Maicyland Rail
road. They met the Committee of the
Corn Exchanc , e at the office of the Wes
tern'MarYllinir'Railriad • Company, for
the purpose of holding an interview with
the President and Directors of that Com
pany on. the subject. The matter was dis
cussed and the conclusion reached on the
part of the committee ,that the Western
Maryland-R, R. should build` the branch
road, and have the control of it. The
Waynesboro' committee stated that two
lines of route had been surveyed, one of
which proposes to start from Monterey
Springs, and the . other from Smithburg
Station, on the line of the Western Mary
land Road, either of which will be accep
table to the people of .Waynesboro' who
are anxious for a direct line of commu
nication with Baltimore. A meeting of the
President and Directors of the Western
Maryland Railroad was subsequently held,
when it was declared that the building of
a branch road to Waynesboro' would be
a most important feeder to that road, but
in the present condition ,of its finances, it
cannot undertake the work of building it."
The question Of a Railroad has been
agitated among our citizens for the last
eighteen months, and the situation finds us
still really without any well-grounded
hopes of success, and all owing, we think,
more for want of harmony among our
selves than io any other cause. When a
move was nee some weeks since to seek
connection with the Western Maryland
Railroad, the prospects were most flatter
ing-Proarinent—eitizens—of--Btrltitno •
encouraged the movement.. It was then
confidently asserted that that road could
be reached from this town with a line a
lengtha-fitct-since es
tablished by actual. survey. As tight as
many of our moneyed men clutch their
purse-strings, we regarded the• success of
such an undertaking possible. But six
or seven weeks have passed without the
accomplishment of anything, save the
running of a couple of lines and jangling
as to which should he adopted. Accord
ing to the above statement the W. M. R.
R. Company is not able to lend any assis-
tance, nor is an appropriation on t e par
of Baltimore at all probable. Without
therefore another failure—one particular
ly damaging to the interests of the com
munity at large—more harmony must be
displayed among our people on the sub
ject as well as more liberality in their
way of subscribing. Can they not then
unite upon the cheapest and otherwise
most feasible line and start the work of
taking subscriptions anew. If compelled
to ask foreign aid to build six miles of
road, in the name of common sense why
contend for a more expensive or longer
line ? Mr. Gitt's report of his surveys
will be in the hands of the Committee in
a few days, when it is to be hoped the
matter of contention bet Ween lines will
be Enally put at rest, and elibrts at least
made' to secure a liberal and bonafide
subcription towards the building of the
proposed branch road before asking as
sistance from any outside quarter. This
done it will be timg enough to button-hole
outsiders. Other communities have done
as much under less fitvorable circumstan
ces, and why not this one? As an exam
ple we refer to the citizens of Emmitts
burg and vicinity, who are about complet
ing,a seven or eight miles line of road.—
With them there has been unanimity of
pUrpose and earnest action. Another in
stance is the little town of Petersburg, in
Adams county, situated about seven miles
from the line of the Harrisburg and Po
tomac Railroad. • We learn on good au
thority that quite recently the citizens of
that place, with only a population of a
bout four hundred, with the assistance of
the neighborhood, have raised a stock sub
scription of $50,000 to connect that town
with the Harrisburg and Potomac Road,
and that the President, D V. Ahl, Esq.
at once pot a 'large force of hands—over
300 according to our informant's state
ment=at work on the road, which was to
be completed within four months from
the time of commencing.
Our town and neighborhood is possess
ed of more wealth than either of the com
munities cited above, and no reason, un
less a. want of harmony, can be assigned
why they, should be less libersd, or less en
terprising in this respect.

gerAs an evidence of the advantages
derived by insuring in THE Nlcruer, LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY of New York, I
publish, by permission, the following let
ter, received from H. A. STURGEON, Esq.,
Cashier State Bank, Harrisburg, Pa.:
STATE BANK.,
HARRISBURG, PA., Mar. 12, 12.
Col. J. E. PARSONS, Harr/3/mq :
Yours of 10th inst. received. As re
quested I herein enclose statement of my
policy of Life Insurance.
On the 12th of February, 1858,1 took
out a policy of insurance for $5,000, on
the ordinary Life plan, in the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York.
I paid . in cash each year, from 1858 to
1867, inclusive, the annual premium of
$118,65, making in ten years the whole
amount paid in cash to the Company,
$1,186,50.
From .1868 to 1872, inclusive, my an
nual premium, of $118,65, was paid out
of the dividends declared by the Compa
ny.
After deducting dividends used I still
have to my credit on the policy $1,269,-
81 so that at the present time (in case of
death) my pOlicy is worth $6,269,81, the
dividends due me being $83,31 more than
I have actually paid in cash to the Com
pany.
If I had allowed the dividends to ac
cumulate instead of using a portion to
pay my premiums from 1868 to 1872, in
clusive, my policy would now be worth
87,488,12, or the dividends alone, 82,-
488,12. •
In short I have received from this'Com
pany in dividends 883,31 more 7 than I
have paid, and I have in addition taken
out two policies for $5,000 each in the
same Company, making an insurance in
all of $15,000 ; and I take pleasure in re
commending this Company to • any one
who is desirous of taking out an insur
ance. Yours, &e., '
H. A. STURGEON.
