The Mobile Register calls the atten- tion of the democratic press of the North to the fact that white men who refuse to affiliate with the negro par- ty in Alabama are deliberately mur- dered by radical office holders and their black allies. The Montgomery Mail gives the following instances of cold blooded political murders recently perpetrated in that State, and winked at by the radical authorities: Joshua Morse, the Attorney Gener- al, murdered the editor of the Choctaw Herald. Vernon Vaughan and a man named Smith, a radical Professor and cadet of the State University, murder- ed a citizen named Bird, and also the editor of the Tuskaloosa Monitor. Boyd, late radical solicitor of Greene, murdered Charner Brown, of Union, by stabbing him in the back. Brain- ard, . circuit clerk of Montgomery county, attempted to murder the Uni- ted States Collector, and actually murdered his brother-in-law. The Probate Judge of Elmore, Dennis, made 2 murderous attack upon a cit izen of this county upon the public streets, James Carpenter, of Greene, a democrat, was murdered in cold blood, and the officers of that county took no notiee of it. Samuel Snoddy, of the same county, was murdered by three black radicals, and because the citizens executed the law upon the mur- derers they have been persecuted by the Governor and his minions. A ga.- lant young democrat was ‘murdered on the highway below Evergreen by sev- eral radicals who had already attacked him on the streets and had been re- pulsed. Major Ragland, of Morgan, a democrat, was shot down dead by his wife's side, through the window, of his house, at night. No notice has been taken of the murder by the au thorities. The two young Pillows, both democrats, were barbarously murdered and mutilated by disguised bands of men. Six democrats have been mur- dered at a swamp near Selma. The negro army from Stanton’s railroad murdered an inoffensive old citizen near Ashville the other day. Repre- sentative Springfield and his gang at- tempted to murder the Sheriff of St. Clair county, Collins, a radical State officer, murders a radical ex-Congress- man in cold blood. He is rescued from cals. Here are twenty one instances( which we recall while writing this article) of murders or murderous assaults by rad- icals. These facts stand out in damn- ing refutation of the charge made by the friends of the Governer that in ev- ery instance the victims of violence in Alabama are repnblicans, There has been no unusual number of murders and murderous assaults in this State ; but in the list of such as have occurred we solemnly believe that a large ma- 1ave been radicals and disguised bands of radicals, and the victims have been democrats. The cry of “Ku-klux” and “loyal victims" i: the foulest slander ever concocted ngainst peacible people. It is the cry of the wolf against the lamb. For lending countenance to this cry Governor Smith will justly de- serve the execrations of all honest men. He utters loud and hypocritical lamentations over the death of a vile murderer, a miserable wretch who stabbed his victim in the back, and who was afterwards rewarded for his professed loyalty by the wholesale gift of offices in defiance of the wishes of the people. But the Governor has no proclamation to offer against a band of radical whites and negroes marching in armed array against the authorities and county site of St. Clair county and murdering inoffensive citizens on the maych ! New York Election. The World speaks thus of the result of the election in New York: The election yesterday resulted in an overwhelming majority for the de- mocracy. The city did nobly, rolling upa majority of sity thousand, both on State an local judiciary tickets, in a total vote of 104,132. The rural districts have also done handsomely. The republican majori- ties have been reduced in all their strongholds, and some counties hereto- fore strongly republican have wheeled into line in the democratic column. The majority in the State will exceed fifty thousand, and we should not be surprised if full reports show that the State has gone democratic without the vote of this city. The result is a Waterloo to the republicans—a deci- sive and complete route. ree eli The Post Office Department has once more wheeled into line to the tune of the fifteenth amendment by appointing a negro, named Bush, post. master at Allen’s Fresh, Charles coun.

Congress has heen over five months in session, and has not passed the Tariff; | has not passed or amended the Reve. the commerce, shipping or labor of the country ; has not passed oramended any laws for the settlement of the Indians; has not passed the Funding hill; has not amended the currency acts; has not done anything for the resumption of specie payments; has not settled dif- ficulties with Canada respecting Re- ciprocity, or with San Domingo and St. Thomas, respecting pending treaties. It has, however, ousted Ftc Dem- ocratic members of Congress duly elec- ted by the people; has kept up foreign and domestic taxes to the utmost; has re-admitted the States of Texas and Mississippi in order to get more votes for bad jobs, but has again kept out Georgia, with two Senators, who were Georgians, but who could not be bought, bribed or coaxed to do a mean or bad action. If it takes five and a quarter months to do and omit all these things, what may we expect by the time the session has expanded to July or August? As a general result of the action of Congress, it may be stated, that of 2,- 849 bills and 475 joint resolutions in- troduced in both Houses up to this time, about 158 bills and 100 joint res- olutions have gone through both Houses. A very small result for so many days and so many words. lp lp pe Great Eaters. Iu the time of Charles the First, Taylor, the Water Poet, gave an ac- count of one Nicholas Wood, a Kent- ish man, who had a power of stowing away a marvelous quantity of food at a meal. He was credited with having on one occasion devoured a whole raw sheep ; on another three dozen pigeons; on a‘third, several rabbits ; on a fourth eighteen yards of black pudding; while on two other occasions the quan- tities set down were sixty pounds of cherries and three pecks of damsous. But it will be better to disbelive these statements, and attend to the more moderate though still startling account given by Taylor, that “Two loyneggf mutton and one loyne of veal were but as three sprats to him. Once, at Sir Warham St. Leger 's house, he showed himself so violent of teeth and stomach that he ate as much as would have served thirty men, so that his belly was like to turn bankrupt and break. but that the serving man turned him to the fire, and annointed his paunchon with grease and butter to make it stretch and hold ; and afterward being laid in bed, he slept eight hours, and fasted alf the while, which, when the knight understood, he commanded him to be laid in the stocks, and there to endure as long as he had lain bedrid with eating.” In the time of George the First there was a man who, in a fit of religious enthusiasm, tried to main- tain a Lenten fast of forty days and forty nights. Breaking down in this resolution after a few days he took re- venge on himself by becoming an enor- mous eater, devouring large quantities of raw flesh with much avidity. Some what over a century ago a Polish sol- dier, presented to the court of Saxon as a marvel of voracity, one day ate twenty pounds of beef and half of a roasted calf. About the same time a youth of seventeen, apprentice to a Thames waterman, ate five pounds of shoulder of lamb and two quarts of green peas in fifty minutes. An achievement of about equal glut- tony was that of a brewer’s man, who, at on inn in Aldersgate street, demol- ished a roast goose of six Jouuds weight, a quartern loaf and three quarts of porter in an hour and eigh- teen minutes. Early in the reign of George the Third, a watchmaker’s ap- prentice, nineteen years of age, in three quarters of an hour, devoured a leg of pork weighing six pounds, and a pro- portionate quantity of peas and pud- ding, washing down these comestibles with a pint of brandy taken off in two draughts. A few years afterwards there was a beggar at Gottingen, who en more than one occasion ate twelve pounds of meat at a meal. After his death his stomach, which was very large, was found to contain numerous bits of flint and other odds and ends, which nature yory properly refused to recognize as food. In fact, setiing aside altogether the real or allege eating up of a whole sheep or hog, the instances are very numerous in which a joint sufficient for a large family has disappeared at a meal within the un- worthy corpus of one man.— Al the "ear Round. Work of Strychnine. The Conneaut, Ohio, Reporter re- lates the following instance, illustra- ting the terrible activity and virulence of strychnine: A farmer named Chil- son, living near Girard, thinking to rid his corn field of some troublesome ground hog, managed to administer the quadruped a dose of strychnine, which killed him nearly instantly. The carcass was suspended in a tree, where the crows soon espied the savory bit, and proceeded tv appease their ap- petites. After partaking of the fatal meat, the crows would fly rapidly a short distance, as if in agony, and fall dead to the ground. The boves being thoroughly stripped of their flesh, re. mained exposed to the bleaching in- fluence of sunshine, rain and frost for nearly two years, when, falling to the ground, a highly prized dog masticated arts of them, and died from the effects in a space not exceeding ten min- utes. ; | A Long Walk. In 1732 Thomas Penn contracted | with Tedyuscung and some others for a title to all the land in Pennsylvania to be taken off by a parallel latitude from any point as far as the best of three men could walk in a day, be- tween sunrise and sunset, from a cer: tain chestnut tree at or near Bristol, in a northwest direction. Care was taken to select the most capable for sich a walk. The choice fell on James Yates, a native of Bucks county, a tall, slim man of much agility and speed of foot; Solomon Jennings, a Yankee, remarkably stout and strong ; Edward Marshall, a native of Bucks county, a noted hunter, chain carrier, ete., a large heavy set and strong-boned man. The day (one of the longest in the year) was appointed and the cham- pions notified, The people collected at what they thought the first twenty miles of the Durham road to see them pass. First came Yates stepping as light as a feather, accompanied by T. Penn and attendants on horseback. After him, but out of sight, came Jen nings with a strong, steady step ; and not far behind, Edward Marshall, ap- parently careless, swinging a hatchet in his hand, and eating a dry biscuit. Bets run in favor of Yates. Marshall took biscuit to support his stomach, and carried a hatchet to swing in his arms alternately, that the action in his arms should balance that in his legs, as he was fully determined to beat the others, or die in the attempt. He =aid he first saw Yates in descending Dur- ham creek, and gaiiied on him. There he saw Yates sitting on a log, very tired ; presently he fell off and gave up the walk. Marshall kept on, and before he reached the Lehigh overtook and - ed Jennings—waded the river at Beth- lehem—nhurried on faster and faster by where Nazareth stands, to the Wind Gap. That was as far as the path had been marked for then to walk on, and there was a colledtion of people wait- ing to see if any of the three would reach it before sunget. He only hal- ted for the surveyet to give him a pocket compass, and started again. I'hree Indian runners were sent after him to see if he walked it fair, and how far he went. He then passed to the right of Pocono Mountain, the Indians finding it difficult to keep in sight, till he reached Still Water; and he would have gone a few miles further but for the water, There he marked a tree, witnessed by the three Indians. The distance he walked between sun and sun, not being on a straight line, and about thirty miles of it through the woods, was estimated to be from one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty miles. He thus won the great prize, which was five hundred pounds in money. SS ——————— &® ly ® ———————————— A TERIBLE OUTRAGE. On Tuesday, the 15th inst, seven men, cither Texans or straggling out- laws from Indian Territory, came to the town of Ladore a few miles south of Fort Scott, Kansas. After drink- ing all day they went to the boarding- house of I. N. Roach, and asked to stay all night. Being refused on ac- count of their drunken ccndition, one of the party knocked Roach insensible with a revolver. They then wont to the bed occupied by the two daughters of Roach, aged 12 and 14 years, and outraged them during the entire night. Roach revived after a time, but feared to stir, knowing he would be killed if he did. He described the cries and entreatics of the girls as heartrending. A quarrel arose among the demons, and one of them was shot dead while satisfying his lust. Atday- break the party fled—one taking with him to the woods the youngest girl. The town was immediately aroused, and parties started in every direction in search of the fiends. The one with the girl was soon over- taken, and hung to a tree. Two others were found secreted in town and were hung to the same tree. The remaining three were also captured. Two of them were hung. The other one at last accounts, was in custody of the citizens, but will probably share the fate of his campanions. -e-—— Hand Shaking How did people first get into the habit of shaking hands? The answer is not far to seek. In early and bar- semi-savage was his own law-giver, judge, soldier, and policeman, and had to watch over his own safety, in default of all other protection, two friends or acquaintances, when they chanced to meet, offered each to the other the right hand —the hand alike of offense and defense, the hand that wields the sword, the dagger, the tomahawk, or other weapon of war, Each did this to show that the hand was empty, and that neither war nor treachery was in tended. A man cannot well stab anoth- er while he is engaged in the act shak- ing hands with him, unless he be a double-dyed traitor and villain, and strives to aim a cowardly blow with the left while giving the right and pretend: ing to be on good terms with his victim. The custom of handshaking prevails, more or less, among all civilized na- tions, and is the tacit avowal of friend- ship and good will, just as the kiss is of a warmer passion. Chillicothe, May 16.—A horse rid- den under the saddle by a German named Smith to day ran away, threw the rider, drag im a quarter of a mile, and finally fell upon him and crushed him to death. The man’s body was terribly mangled. - C—O Sono Sree - © The Exodns from Ireland. Our Irish exchanges represent that at present emigration from that Island to the United States is going on on an unprecedented scale. Emigrants are flocking into Queenstown at the rate of hundreds per day, and every boat of tho Cunard and Inman lines which leave that port takes out full passen- ger lists, [ery few, if any, passengers are now detained at Queenstown after the date which they have entered, as the Compaies which share in the emi- gration from this port have laid on ex- tra steamers to meet the requirements of the trafic at this season. This flow of emigration is contributed chiefl y by the midland and Connaught counties, Cork, Kerry and Waterford being but poorly representa] The emigrants embrace the cream of the agricultural [pulation, being all young and most. y unmarried. The passage of one half of them has been prepaid to America, but even the remainder, with the rath- er high rate of wages which the ser- vices of good farm hands now com. mand, find very little difficulty in find- ing wherewithal to emigrate. The rate of steerage passengers is six guineas at present. EE ~~ Murder by Ladians. St. Louis, May 16.—Advices from the west report the appearance of Indi- ans in large forces upon the line of the Union Pacific railroad, where the con- struction parties are now at work. The marauding bands were fully arm- ad, but after a skirmish of an hour were driven off. Ten of the railroad men were killed, The Indians secur- ed thier wounded. Goes To Law Often. There is a man in Harrisburg who has had a case at every court of quarter sessions (either as prosecutor or prose- cuted) except two since 1824, extend- ing over a period of forty-six years and aggregating one hundred and eighty- two cases. He is now verging on sev- enty and still figures in our courts. This man has evidently not read the passage in Scripture (or does not be. ieve it) which enjoins persons not to go to law. pr et A frightful case of parricide and matricide is reported from Orleans. At Beaumont, in the commune of Cra- vant, near that city, a young man named Theophile Piednoir, who has been epileptic from a child, went to his mother’s bed in the night-time, and cut her to pieces with a hatchet. He af teawards killed his father, who was sleeping iu an other room, with the same weapon. He ran away to Cra- vant, and went to the house of his fath- er-in-law there, but without saying a word of what had happened. His father-in-law, seeing that he was in a state of excitement recommended him to go home to bed. This he did, but first covered his father’s dead body with straw. At three o'clock in the morning the gendarmes came and arres- ted him. He confessed his crime and was taken to the Orleans prison. pa aa TP ——— Although Fernando Wood has not received any assistance from John Co- voda in his investigation of Preacher, aeneral, Freeman's Bureau Howard, yet he seems#fto be getting along very well.

They are growing from the breastworks thrown up by tue rebel army, and are the on- iy legacy left by the poor fellows who were on the advance line within one hundred yards of our forces. Having eaten the fruit while on picket duty, they cast the seed aside, and now they appear in one continuous line of forty- five miles of beautiful trees, which yielded an Wbundant crop the last year. a — A bill has been introduced in the Connecticut Legislature providing that when an intoxicated person commits an injury to person or property, the person who sold him the liquor u which he got intoxicated shall be liable for all damages; and in many cases one is killed by an intoxicated per: son, the person who sold the nl 1 person the liquor shall be liable for all damages to those who were dependent upon the murdered mam for sup port. pe irre A queer wedding took place in New York a few days ago.

Vol. 3.—No. A Scrap of Recent The Radical loves the negro fora the attainment of political ends, says {fe Pittsburg Post, The Democrat respectshim in his position, pities him as the subservi- ent tool of an unprincipled party, and nev- er fails to accord to him the full measure of his rights, or the sympathy which springs from the common well of humanity. Take one or two cnses, of recent occurrence, as an illustration of the sincerity of Democrat- ic and Radical friendship for that unfortu- nate race; and as the South farnishes us the most striking examples; we will let her tell the plain unvarnished story, The Montgomery Mail says: Since the negro has had the vrivilege of voting and electing men of his own race to office in Alabama several of the colored members of jhe Legislature, elected by their votes, have died and been buried. Not one of them was followed to the grave by a white Radical. The men who used them in life forgot them in death. We re- call the case of the member from Madison who died a few months ago. It was pub- lished in the papers at the time and we be- lieve never contradicted as a fact that the poor creature had barely a corporals guard of his own race to pay respect to his remains, and that not a white man who had courted him while living had the deeency to attend his dead body to the grave. The same wus true we understand ofthe member from Perry, und that most talented of his race in Alabama, the late Ovide Gregory, of Mobile. Unless we niost gravely err in memory, the Radical Legislature has never even noticed the death of these colored members, or passed resolutions of respect for their memories. Mark the contrast, In Verginia, the Democrats or if you ehoose, Conservatives, practically operating with the National Democracy, are in power. The Legisla- ture is filled with ex rebels, whose searred bodies and maimed limbs attest their de- ovtion to the late Confederacy. Thess men, the Radicals say, are filled with hate for the Union and for the negro who isnom ore responsible for the Union or the Confederacy thanfis a hard nut for the existence of the tree upon which grows. The Legislature has been denoune- ed in and out of Congress by Radi- cals as breathing the spirit of rebellion, and as determined to visit vengeance upon the head of the negro tor taking advantage of the privileges wrung from the hands of a needy and unscrupulous party by the ex- igencies ofthedny: We now atk the negro if he is amenable to the laws of treason, to listen toa fact. When one wing of the Capitol at Richmond fell in the other day, a negro Senator namad Bland, was killed among the scores of white. He was a Radis cal, open, pronounced —vindictive the Conservatives and contemptuous oF all’ advances made by white men to explain the sentiments which should control the re- Intion of the race. When this Radics! negro Senator, so unqualified for the place he held, so disrespectful towards hsi politi- cal opponents, was suffocated so death, was there any emotion among those Democratic and Conservative legislators, but sincere sorrow at his fate?
