Thesuccess of the Assocuitiou for
the purctisish of the Mount Vernon estate
is no longer a subject of doubt. The Sec
retary of the Association issued a report re
Pently, Virhich she states that one hun
dred mild fifty-eight thousand three hun
dred and thirty-three dollars have been
paid towards securing the title to the es
tate. Fortponethousandsix hundred and
sixty-six dollars, with interest thereon. are
yet to be provided for, being the fourth in
stalment due in February, 1862. It is
probable that this sum will be obtained at
a very early day. Since the report in Jan
uary, five more Nltik-e Regents have bred
appointed, so that now thirty States legally
compose the Association. The ladies of
the United States merit unmeasured praise
for the manner in which they have carried
on the good work, the termination of w hich
is now at hand to tellect honor upon all
concerned, and to perpetuate the memory
of Washington more gratefully and nobly
than any monument that man's genius and
wealth could devise.
tar The Albany Evening J ,, iiiiia/of Sat
urday says that suspicions were strongly
excited in New York, that the remains of
a female found at the office of the Hudson
River Railroad in that city, on Wednesday
last, in a soap box, horribly mangled and
in a decayed state, were those of Mrs.
BRENAX, wife of Captain 8., of the United
States Army, gho, at the time of her dis
appearance raided on Staten Island.—
She .has been missing since the 20th of
July last, and was last seen upon the Island,
and is supposed to have been murdered.
1. - ixin a card on one side of the box was
printed—" From W. S. BARNES, RR and
1:1/ Third avenue, corner of 1.51.11 street
New York." The announcement of this
fact tends to strengthen tile suspicion that
the remains in question are those of Mrs.
BILItYIN, for she haa friends residing near
this -store, and was in the habit of frequent
ly visiting them. She is suppeeed to have.
been waylaid at night, revished and then
murdered in that vicinity. Mrs. B. was of
prepostessing appeanmee, and about 2f)
years of age. Dr. eItAIST., of New York,
brother of the deceased, was expected in
Albany immediately. He may throw some
light upon the mystery, as thereat+ marks
upon the nails and fingers of the demised,
which, it it be his sister, be can identify.
Coroner Max Is determined to ascertain,
if possible, who these remains are, and he
will leave no stone unturned that will tend
to throw any light upon the present mys
terious affair.

was born, long before Forney, had invented
his "palest" excuse for treason--and long,
in fact, before Mr. Becasussi became Pre

submit to the Democracy of Erie County ,
if there is not good evidence of the " eter-,
nal fitness of things" in those who bolt our,
State ticket and repudiate the Convention
that nominated it, in selecting the Editor
of the E.rpress as their organ. " Birds of
a feather flock together," is an old and
true saying, an holds good In this case.
Lo! another miracle! Balsam's ase
spake, so we are told in the Bible, and now
the same miracle has been produced upon
the person of the "Clerk of Lag, Brown
& Co•" For particulars see "card" in last
Express. The attacks off' the Erpress we
might have survived, but to be written
about by the great, the gle-o-ri-ous "Lean
der," the great Dobbins! —the immortal
Dubb4ml-4he immaculate Dibbins! —is
moire than human nature can stand. Q.
hotir could you Lee, Leander, Philander,
Dibbins, Dubbin, Dobbins: how could
you!! But seriously, Leander, you are mis
taken in a great many of your fact, —as for
instance. Mr. Himrod did not submit his
name to the republican convention before
he came out as a candidate for the Legisla
ture and beat your friend 0)c/was—there
fore he wasmot "as much of a Republican."
Besides, we have been taught, and we think
the doctrine is good and sound, that the
best way for a minority to succeed is to
" divide and conquor," and we don't think
that the ?nab who "pitches in," as you did,
and helps to sustain a Republican nomina
tion, like that of Cbdtras's,, in preference
to a bolter, like Himrod, is doing very much
for the party he professes so much attach-
ment for. So you are "up a stump" there,
Mr. Dubbins—not only in your facts, but
in your reasoning. Again, Dibbins, you
are a little out of your reckoning when you
assume that it was a part of our duty to
have brought out a "full ticket" at that., or
any other time, even to insure the success
of our party. The Democratic organisation
has a Central Committee whose duty it is
to call conventions for that purpose; and
what is a little unfortunate for you, Philan
der, is that the chairman of your bogus
convention the other day was a member of
that committee at the time you speak of.—
Why did'nt he, as in duty bound, call a
convention, and have a ticket in the field?
Suppose you ask him, Dobbins! Equally
as devoid of truth is your assertion, Lean
der, that we took an active part last fall to
get off the regular Democratic candidate
for congress in order "to make room for a
Republican." Doubtless you and your em
ployer has repeated that lie so often that
you believe it yourselves; but we can prove
it a lie, made out of whole cloth, at any
time by two as reputable even as there are
in Enuallv as far front the itnth- .ia
appointed Post Master. Forney opposed
our appointment to the "bitter end" from
first to last. So you see, Dobbins, you don't
know half as much, nor. arc you half as
sharp as ystu think yon are. And now,
Dobbins, a word in conclusion. You seem
to have a perfect horror of federal °Mee.
holder.. 'Phis t. 4 unkind, for don't you
know that there is not, a particle of you,
not a bone in your body, nor a bit of mar

product of a federal of let% The milk you

NW' The Stephen's Poisoning e*se, which
has recently been before the courts in New
York city, may not he generally understood
by our readers. We shall briefly state the
main fact in the ease Something over a
year ago, the wife of Stephens died and was
buried in Circenwood Centetry. At the
time,of her death there were suspicions on
the part of some of the relatives that she
had been poisoned, but these did not lead
to an investigation at the time of death.—
In the family of Stephens were two nieces
of his wife. These heatternpted to debauch
after the death of his wife ; and it was not
until:a brother of these girls crowed the At
lantic, and undertook to avenge these at
tempts upon his .inters honor, by attempt
ing to shoot the uncle, that an investiga
tion was sought. After the deceased had
lain in her grave more than a year her re
main were disinterred, fully recognized,
and submitted to eminent physicians and
chemists for examination. The presence
of arsenic was clearly established by a
series of experiments. The fact that kbe
husband had bought the arsenic' was pro
yen. and it was given in evidence that he
had administered some white powders to
Mrs. Stephens previous to her death. The
effect of these powders was described by
the dying woman. as being similar to a
"rolling ball of fire" in the stomach. The
entire testimony elicited in the trial was
strong and conclusive and the jury render
ed a verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. With vigilant and unerring cer
tainty the hand of justice followed the
guilty man to conviction, and in a short
time, unless executive clemency should
interfere, he will be called to expiate his
terrible crime by an ignominious death.—
It 4,tine of those remarkable eases which
warn men, that no matter how shrewdly
they may lay their plaits to destroy human
life, though even the grave may have been
long closed over their murdered victims,
the chances of escape are few. "Murder
will out" and punishment is sure sooner
or later.

similar complaints have come up from
