.. We have recently been math' acquainted
Vltb the particulars of a transaction that is
creating considerable excitement'at the South
End. "• A min, whoso reputatiiw.-i l5 Boston baa
been Very bad, reformed, and fi "S been living
quietly, in a house owned by hiu ,e'f. _ A widow
lady 4»Uo resided in the house, {id man taking
bis meals with her. He is u vardlof sixty
.jearspfage, and ji widower. %j$ woman bad
a very interesting and i n tell i ; cji t daughter,
between fifteen and sixteen yea»3 of age. Un
known to the mother, the hotry sinner has
been making love to her. It is alleged that ho
talked pretty freely to her abfht his wealth,’
urging her to marry him, and ; filing her that
if she did so she would have nothing to do but
live a life of indolence and ea> i, enjoying the
benefit of bis property. Through these induce
ments, and -in the expeetatiotQf coming info
possession .of the immense ecfa-te Htufi to be
owned by him, the girl sillily Consented to be
come his wife. He then visited# the city regis
trar, and, falsely representing fVt the girl was
over eighteen years of’ age, of ained a certifi
cate of tont-naue, with which -he couple clan
destinely visited the residence-! a clergyman,
who united them in marriage. (■
This agreeable little cereir ony (as the old
man, doubtless, thought been per
formed, they returned to tha.viftidenoe of the
mother, it having been agreed-- by the' couple
that for s while the marriage., should be kept
secret from everybody, with be exception, of
course, of the registrar, and
the necessary witnesses. 'Two- or three weeks
afterwards a young man reWnnd* home from
the war, who bad previously hpen paying atten
tions to the young miss,' and iCwj s
that they were ■ engaged' to eai ji other. As
heretofore, he visited the house of his betrothed,
and resumed bis courtship, and V room in the
dwelling was assigned to him, by the mother.
On the second day after his-Veappearance on
the scene, the old man wectyp to his room,
desired an explanation of- -ois conduct, and
made an inquiry as to bis figure intention.—
The young gallant, not" bein ;in the secret, of
course questioned the right;o'? the gray-headed
husband to interfere in what ije considered
strictly bis own business, ard., the discussion
becoming somewhat antirp:iteti, the old man
finally let the “cat out of thu/bag” by inform
ing the lover that his intended was his wife,
in fact, and yarning him not to repeat bis
attentions.
As may be imagined, 7 gffi; announcement
took the lover by surprise, tiv\b ft immediately
called on the mother of thoVyoung wife, and
was utterly astonished' to death that she knew
nothing of the marriage—the-; first intimation
she bad .of such an occurrence coming from
him. This knowledge of bef daughter's mar
riage came upon the mothir Tike the shock of
an earthquake. The girl fra« forthwith sum
moned, and confessed all; a )(J, ufter her mother
bad pictured to her t haras Ideas of thcstep she
had taken, the great sacrifice -she had made,
• and the pain she would cause .t er relatives, the
.'child-wife repented, and expressed her willing
ness to assist ati efforts that, might be made to
annul.the marriage contract. She stated that
since they were married had occupied
separate sleeping aparttg.ents. The parties
still reside in the same' bd&Se, but since the
discovery of the marrisgh thiA* has very natu
rally been much trouble an. " confusion. The
husband admits the marri iga, and says that
since the ceremony took ■’lace they .have, at
times, lived together as bus) and and wife.
The mother and daughter are very yell con
nected, and their relatives a id friends express
the greatest contempt for The man who has
wrecked the happiness oft- the family. The
child was dazzled by the cities in the air that
Boated in imagination befo ie her, after listen
ing to the tales of love ant" wealffi that were
repeated to bet by the old and, with child
ish simplicity, easily, fell a Victim to bis mra
chinationa. She is sorrowful Tor what Was
occurred, and can now realize the extent of her
folly, which has made her the wife of a sche
ming bid man. The mother, however, is not
too severely punished forher. want of watch
fulness . which favored the, scheme. Legal
proceedings are in conte avpihtion.'but have not
yet beenjbommenced. Attempts at reconcilia
tion will doubtless be made, tuft, it ■ is thought,
without eSeet. A criminal action against the
man will probably be. instituted for bis mis
representation of the glrlV age, (which offence
is punishable by a heavy fine,) and a petition
may be sent up to the Supreme Judicial Court
for a decree to set aside . nor • annul the mar
riage under the peculiar circumstances which
it took pluck Some of 1 the circumstances in
relation to a former marriage of this man have
been heretofore published,-and created con
siderable talk at the time ,
, Murder of a WoranJ aSd .Child —The Three
Murderess Killed —Weare infortoed that a
horrible tragedy took place in Madison county,
about four miles fr last week, but
our informant could not give, -names. We re
cite this awful story as-we'heard it: A far
mer sold his farm to three njen, who gave him
$15,000 in cash in part payment. In tbe
evening be walked to Londot," leaving bis wife
and child Sometime after, a pedlar,
who had often staid all night at the house,
drove up and asked permission to remain, but
the farmer’s wife declined, because it was doubt
ful if her husband returned that night, and she
knew there was a large sum of money in tbe
house. She remarked to tbe pedlar that if her
husband returned be would probably meet
him. •
The pedlar drove on, feet the farmer, and re
j tamed with him. As?they approached the
house the farmer observ&t a light In a room in
• which ha" usually kept his-papers, and remark
ed to the pedlar that there were burglars in
the house. The pedlar produced a pair of re
volvers, and the two 'stationed themselves at
points where, the burglar's would probably at
tempt to escape, they gay * the alarm, and rush
ed out. The pedlar killed two of them, when
the third ran towards the, former who killed
him. Upon entering thetb< use, the farmer was
horrified to find his wife aid child murdered.
When the bodies of the rmrderers were ex
amined it was discovered that they were parties
who had purchased the farm that day ; one of
them being brother-in-law ,to the farmer.—

PLAIN TALK POB PLAIN POLK.
Our exchangee still teem with the disgusting
chronicles of crime. The tendency to breach
of order and contempt of law is observable
everywhere. We see it in our own streets—at
least every man sjeee it who does not purposely
tarn bis eyes away. And on every band we
are asked—“ What are we coming to ?”
We can answer that question by asking an
other : When -will the law-abiding citizen
make the cause of the injured man, woman, or
child, his own ? What are- the facts ? Let ns
not blink.them, nor seek to cover them up, but
look them, and each other, fairly in the face.
Tbe facts are, that all of us, official and un
official, daily witness violations of wholesome
laws without so much as patting forth the
strength of our little fingers to preserve order.
Said a highly respectable citizen, an old resi
dent of Wellsboro', to us the other day—“ We
“ see a misdemeanor committed, or an outrage
“ perpetrated in these streets, and either pass
it by without notice, or laugh at it I” , And he
only spoke tbe disagreeable truth.
“ Men and brethren,” shall this dangerous
apathy continue ? Are these violated laws in
tended for tbe protection of community ? If
so, then every man of us who permits their
open violation to pass un rebuked is an enemy
of good order and public peace. But if tbe
law is inimical to society, then expunge it from
the book. We want no dead-letters, no useless
legislation, to bring discredit upon wise and
necessary laws. Contempt of one law begets
contempt for all law. It is a crime to wink
at violations of any law for the preservation of
order. ' Thus, bow many of us are gniity ac
cessories of the misdemeanors, and indirectly,
of the awful crimes which are stalking over
the land 1
What shall be done t These unrestrained
violations of minor statutes and ordinances not
only make possible the perpetration of tbe hor
rible outrages which find publicity in the dal
ly papers, but actually invite them to bur own
thresholds I This moral lethargy is tbe pre
cursor of social evils too sickening to name.
.There is danger that'it may degenerate, into a
’morbid sympathy for crime. When we read
long appeals for reprieves for assassins, we at
once feel forcibly impressed that their authors
know not what they ask ; or if they doi know,
that they have in them tbe material but of
which murderers are made. We yield) to no
man in respect for the saeredness of life and
liberty, .and happiness, of the individual mao
or brute; we see none pursue evil courses
without emotions of pity; and the infliction of
pain, upon man or beast, awakes an answering
pain; but mad dogs, and murderers, and rav
ishers of helpless innocence mast die, for the
protection of society; and otoss dogs, and
hulls, disorderly men, thieves, and burglars,
must be properly restrained of their liberty for
the protection of society.
Justice is tbe cream of meroy. It may ap
pear like severity to the criminal, but it is pure
and unadulterated kindness to communities.
It is better to prevent than to punish crime.
Punishment can. dnly sot as a preventive of
crime as it is made to appear certain. Make
it certain, then. "By aleepleas vigilance teach
vice that it cannot develop into open defiance
of wholesome law without incurring heavy
penalty. Execute the law without fear or faL
for. An outraged community is entitled to
more consideration than he who outrages it.
Above all let every community beware how it
practices, the criminal economy, too prevalent,
of compromising .with crime- tn order to eßect
a saving of Penitentiary board bills.
We have taken up this subject reluctantly,
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
for reasons that will be evident to many; but
if this community would keep rampant crime
—such as seems to be on the forward march
elsewhere —from its doors. We must array oor
selves as one man against the email beginnings
of crime which confront as on every side.
. So we have uttered the warning which, a de
cent regard for the public good demanded. _
AUG. 2, 1865.
-The Republican-State Convention la fixed'
for the 17th of August, proximo. Its labors'
relate to the nomination of candidates for Au
ditor and Surveyor General, and a declaration
of the policy of the party.
We unite with the Bradford Reporter in ur
ging upon the Convention the juetioo and pro
priety of patting forward two worthy soldiers
for the offices named. Without doubt two
competent and eminently deserving men, who
have served the country in the field daring the
war just closed, can be found; and who, when
found, will be irresistible against any force or
cunning that the opposition can bring into the
campaign against them. As between civilians
and soldiers, where there is equality in ability
and integrity, the’latter should have-tbe-pref
erence under all circumstances. At the same
time, it should be remembered that field serv
ice has qualified no man for the creditable dis
charge of the duties of oivil position who was
not qualified before he rendered such service.
We have always opposed nominations made
solely on the ground of availability. We shall
continue to oppose this dangerous practice. If
we comprehend tbe want of the times it is that
the best, the honestest, and deserving men
shall be preferred Tor oivil position.' If we
have any ambition, it is to be instrumental in
bringing about a radical reform iu this direc
tion. Until such a reform pervades tbe entire
body politic there can be no perfectly safe an
chorage for tbe republic, bat roisgovernment,
inefficiency, corruption, and partial disgrace,
will afflict ns os a nation. ■
And this reform must come through the in
creased virtue and integrity of the people. '
It is to be hoped thsi the Convention will
take unequivocal position upon each of the
great questions of the hoar. Bet its utteran
ces be so direct that thore can be misconstruc
tion, so plain-that they will never need expla
nation. There must be no avoidance of, no
holding aloof from, tbe questions of the hour.
Tbe question of reconstruction presents itself
and must be considered ; and in connection
therewith, the subject of universal suffrage.
The question of Suffrage ought not to be de
cided hastily. If the Republican party taka
ground that the people of the seceded States
are in the condition of an individual guilty of
felony, and thereby disfranchised, the question
of. universal Suffrage cannot practically arise
for some years; since abnndant evidence of the
unfitness of those States to resume their old
status of sovereignty is coming to light every
day. There can he no safe reconstruction un
til reaction of the moat thorough character sets
\fi throughout the South. The South is now
in the state of exhaustion which succeeds fever.
The utmost that can be safely done by a pa
tient in this stage is to gradually strengthen
by careful nursing and mild tonics. Mere
stimulus' in such cases is dangerous. Relapse
ia death, add must be avoided ; and unless the
work of reconstruction be gradual, relapse is
certain.
We discard the theory of the Territorial re
trogression of the rebel States. A Territory
is to a State as a minor to one who has attained
his majority. As a man can never by any act
of civil transgression become an infant in law,
no more can a State become a Territory in like
manner. A man may commit a felony and so
lose the political rights pertinent to citizenship.
The same rule may be applied to a State; and
applying this rule, it seems to us that the sub
ject becomes comparatively easy of treatment.
We hope to see one resolution adopted by
the Convention tdoobiog Suffrage. Let ns dare
to take the only tenable ground—that tbe ex
ercise of the right ebonld depend open the fit
ness of the citizen to exercise tbe right intelli
gently. Neither color nor nativity can rightly
be pleaded in bar of its exercise.
Prom the reports in onr exchanges we con
oinde that tbe Convention will prove unusually
able. We note the names of many of our best
men in tbe lists of delegates. This is a good
beginning.’ f
The West Branch “' Democrat” thus catechi
ses Capron, of the Bulletin as follow*; “Will
“ you please tell your correspondent, M., plain
“ ly, are you opposed to, or in favor of, Negro
“suffrage?" To which Oapron lucidly re
sponds—“ We rather think we are."
This reminds us of the reply of the French
man, of whom was demanded—“ Sir, will yon
“ apologize, or fight ?" Sare, I vill!" re
plied tbe Frenchman.
It is seldom that we notice strictly persona!
attacks of cotemporaries; still more seldom do
we rejoin; but Hall, of the Cattekill Recorder,
having at the close of a witty, bightoned lead
ing article, alluded to tbs Agitator as a “ nab-
J)in," we do not mind acknowledging that the
Recorder has the advantage of the Agitator in
the matter of about two long “ ears.”
The Louisville Journal ge»s off the following
good bit at those nervous politicians of Ken
tucky who prate of negro equality aa a conse
quence of the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment:
The anti-amendment people seem terribly ap
prehensive that, unless restrained by the Con
stitution, they will inevitably marry niggers.—
We have all beard of the noisy fellow, who,
getting into a quarrel, called out to those around
him, “hold me, gentlemen, or I shall strike
him.” Each anti-amendment man seems call
ing aloud in a similar spirit, “hold me dear
Constitution, or I shall many a nigger as sure
aa yon are born.” But we propose that the
Constitution stand off and see fair play.
The following is the description of the Urge
Hotel about being finished in Williamsport I
The whole structure in one hundred and fifty
six feet, square. The banement, which can
hardly be called a basement, as it is only about
eighteen inches below the surface of the sur
rounding grounds; is as dry as any other flour
in the house. It will contain a first.aloes Res
taurant Oyster and Bating Saloon, which will
be situated in the northeast corner. In the
southeast corner is a large room which is to be
fitted up for an elegant Ice Cream Saloon for
Indies. On the west side are tbs rooms for
washing,ironing, baking, &c. . .The. basement
also contains a Barber Shop, Store-room for
the dse. br the Hotel, and about fifteen sleeping
mums for ifieaee of the employees of the House.
In the centre is an open area sixty-six feet
square, which is reached by an open archway.
Here are the rooms for depositing coal, &c.
The nest story—which must be called the
first—is divided by halls, or entries, running
through the centre of the building at right an
gles, making four entrances, one for each side,
besides one entrance- into the Dining Boom
from the Railroad Depot, when that structure
is built. At one side of this entrance is a
Wash Room for gentlemen, and on the other a
similar Room, witb'privato Saloon attached, for
ladies. The Dining Room is 129 feet long by
40 feet wide, and will be furnished in elegant
style with small oval tables. There is also an
outer, entrance from the west front. These
entrances are all from a verandah, which ex
tends around the north, south and west fronts.
The central, north entrance leads to the Office—
a large and spacious apartment—connecting
with n Bar-Room, and frnm that to a Billiard
Saloon, &o. On the east, is the ladies’ private
entrance. On the left is the ladies’ Reception
Boom, which is connected by folding doors
with the ladies’ Parlor in the northeast corner
of the building. From the sooth entrance, by
turning to the left, we enter a magnificent room
which should be a parlor, bat is designed for a
Store for the sale of gentlemen and ladies’
furnishing goods. This will be a novelty on
the main floor of a hotel, but will have its con
veniences and attractions. This story also
contains a room for cooking, with a large flue
to carry off the steam and smoke, so that none
will escape into the Dining. Room nr other
parts of the Hotel. The second and third
stories are becopied by suits of rooms for fami
lies and sipgle rooms. They are all large and
airy, and the doors between communicating
rooms so large that a bed can be moved thro’
them without taking them apart. A passage
way, or entry, seven feet wide, runs entirely
around the centre of these stories, dividing the
rooms into two sets, front and back. The pass
age is well lighted from both ends. The fourth
story has a similar arrangement, bat the rooms
are smaller and designed fora single bed ; but
they are large in comparison to the single rooms ,
of most hotels. There are three main flights
of stairs to each of these stories, besides the
private one for'the use of the employees of the
house. Id fact, there seems to be nothing left
undone which could be done to make this ai
first class Hotel, unsurpassed in oar large
cities for extent of room or the perfect arrange
ment for accommodation of guests. Such a
house will, necessarily,, attract persons who
desire a comfortable retreat from large cities,
and will, undoubtedly, be fully appreciated.—

Fort Laramie, Thursday, July 27, 1865,
One thousand Cheyennes, Sioux, Arrapaboe,!
Blackfeet and a few Camaucbes attacked Platte
Bridge Station, on tbe telegraph road, on Tues
day. Tbe garrison numbered less than 250.
Tbe fight lasted two days and resulted in a
heavy loss to the Indians. Tbe loss on onr
side was Lieut. Collins and one enlisted man of
tbe lltfa Ohio Cavalry, killed, and 34 me n
wounded, 25 of whom belong to tbe lltb. Ohio
Cavalry and be 11th Kansas regiment. The
Indians retreated to the west, tearing down
telegraph poles and destroying the wire.
A note was picked np on the battle-field,
written by a white prisoner recently captured
on tbe South Platte, which says the Indians do
not want peace, but are fighting. for. all time ;
that we bad killed one of their chiefs in fight,
apd they are going to destroy tbe telegraph,
dnd that they expect ro-enforcements.
Tbe body of Lieut. Collins was horribly
mutilated. His hands-and feet were cut off,
his throat was cut, his heart was torn out, be
was scalped and had over 100 arrows in him.
Bobert E. Lee, late Major-General in the
Rebel army, is sojourning at tbe Clifton House,
‘Niagara Falls. It is said that G. L. Vallsndi
gbam has also gone to the same place, probably
to have a conference with tbe noted chieftain.
