Vn1e Hamrvtoa is traversing Sjutb Carolina, defending tbe legal ity of H ives' title to the Presidency, and the purity of his administration." Xlil'icw upon millions of dollars are going to waste, in Pennsylvania, in iron establishments, that are out or blast Who lost the most by their failure, tbe men who invested their money in the busine63, or th men who were employed about the works .' Our Democratic cotemporaries have little to say on the subject ot the spring elections in Ohio and Indiana. They ignore the fact that in both States Republican gains are large and significant, particularly where the Democracy attempted to make an open fight by contesting with any of the independent factions. The -National" vote fell off very largely in all parts of both these States, but more especially in Ohio. This proves the temper of the Republican misses and shows that they are not inclined to destroy their organization in or der to revhr certain supposed desir able ends, which can be accomplished with greater certainty by remaining ti ue to their party fealty. Harris burg Telegraph. OA Forney writes interesting let ters from London. By bis letters the American public are informed that the marriage broker that is a man whose business is to bring about marriage between men and women who desire to get married has a profitable business itt London. The broker has his place of business, as other business men have, and one of the most widely read papers in the city is a paper devoted to matrimony. The Colonel writes of the journal, thus : "The .Matrimonial . 'em, a weekly paper, devoted chiefly to advertise ments for wives and husbands, has on immense circulation, and is sold on the street by regular renders, who fill the air with their loud out cries. Some of the advertisements are very curious. This strange en terprise has grown into certain pros perity." It is believed that Sitti.ij? Ball, Spotted Eagle and other Indian leaders bostile to the whites are preparing to tike the war path soon, with 3oine ten thousand braves at their backs. To oppose this army of savages the Gov ernment will have only about 1,400 available men tbose distributed at the various forts of the Northwest. There are 5,000 soldiers on the Rio Grande, all of whom arc needed on the Mexican frontier. The Democrats in Congress, in tLcir efforts to retrench, Lave cut the aroiy down to a v!ry small affair, and Sittirg Dull and the ether hostile Indian chiefs appear to have resolved to take advantage of the fact. Twenty-five tbovfsand U tbe maximum num ber of soldiers allowed by the present law, and the army at present does not contaia even this number. Tbe Gov ernment should provide for fil ing up tbe skeleton regiments as soon as pos sible, for there is a prospect that there will be use for tha full turce before many weeks. Record.

The narrow office of Coroner Gilbert was picked with people ye.ierday morning at tha inquest in tbe ease of Mrs. Elizabeth Keely, tbe resident of Montgomery eouoty who died at tbe office of Dr. H. G. Winslow, dentist at 224 north Tenth street, while under tbe influence of chloroform. Dr. 2bap man testified that Upon making a post mortem, examination of the deceased he found a clot of blood adhering to tbe right side of tbe heart organ. Tbe witness stated that before administer ' icg either chloroform or e'ber the pbysicun or dentist administering it should oo ail ocoasioos make a careful examination and ascertain whether or not any beart trouble existed. He (bought tbe deceased had been suffer iog from disease of tbo beart previous to bavin? tbe chloroform administered by Dr. Wiuslow, as tbe elot adhering to the heart gave evidence of having been there for some time ; and thought that the must have been unhealthy. Frcm The flabby ennditino of tbe beart the chloroform, in tbe opinion of wit oe, must bave direotly acted upon tbat organ ; be thought tbat ether was less dangerous tbau chloroform ; very few cases of death have resulted from tbe former, wb-le hundreds of eases are recorded as haviug resulted fatally by tbe latter. Dr. to inslow, upon being sworn, raid the deceased upon taking a position in the chair to have the teeth extracted, informed bim that she was perfectly bea'.tby ; be would not bave administered chloroform bad abe told him be was suffering from beart dis ease. Tbe jury then rendered tbe fol lowing verdict : That the said Eiiza betb Nely came to ber death March 20, 1S7C, at No. 224 north Tenth street, by chloroform administered by Dr. 11. G. Winslow j and they further find that Dr. Winslow is guilty of crim inal ignorance in administering so pow erful a remedy without having made au examiua ion of his patient. Wbcn tbe verdict had been read William Neely, tbe husband ot the de ceased, became greatly excited aud threw himself Upon Dr. Winslow, and would bave struck him had he not been takeu away by bis friends. Tbe Cor onor addressed the accused as fullows Dr Winslow, before discharging this case I must perform a duty which 1 owe to tbe community as their repres entative in this office, and that is to censure you; for using so dangerous a remedy as chloroform in so trifling an operation as the extraction of teeth; more especially when you have at your own commaud a much safer substitute in sulphuric ether, and a perfectly harmless one in nitrous oxid gas. You are not only to be censured for us ing it without having previously made a ca'reW examination into the physical contfitfoa of the Tafloifs organs of your patient's system. Chloroform is a most powerful seaative, ana iar more dangerous to life than any of tbe other arsesthutics. Ou tins account a cum ber of the hospitals have prohibited its use. The medical profession bave al most unanimously settled down to tbe opinion tbat it should only be nsed in capital opperations, and then only after the most careful examination. Al. though tbe verdict of the jury and this censure will not brnig back tbe mother to the little ones or the wife to her husband, it may be the means of di recting the attention of dental surgeons to a more careful use of chloroform; and the comunity, wbo are the parties most interested, to tbe preat danger attending its use. and thus pethaps avoid similar accidents in future." In concluding Coroner Gilbert committed tbe accused to await tbe action of tbe Grand Jury. Subsequently Dr. Wins low went before tbe Court and was ad mitted to bail in the sum of $5000, Joseph Allen becoming his bondsman. Sat ed by a Mule.

An article on Thibet (north of China) in tba Cornhill Mieaiiit thus aUades to" polyandry, a singular hab it Jong known to eni in that conn try : A noticeable fex-ture id the na tional lifo is the immense number vf moriateric and nunneries which are to be found scattered over the conn try. In the neighborhood of Lhasa county there are eleven monasteries, in which are cloistered upwards of 20,000 monks, and the nunneries are found in' Lke proportion. The wo men have an excuse for entering re ligions orders wbich are denied to men, for there exists in Thibet one of those extraordinary marriage cus toms wlueli are occasionally met witn in out-of-the-way parts of the world, and wbich -are to be explained only by reference to the surrounding cir cumstances of tha, people. A Nuin erous progeny, in a poor and sterile country, is doubtless a distinct evil, and is one which naturally suggests the imposition of a check even to those who never heird of Mtlthuo or his doctrines. This we may sup pose to have been the position of the Tibetans when they cast about for some plan by wbich they might limit the increase of the population. The plan they adopted for this purpose is almost unique, and is called poly andrc wbich may he explained as be ing the exact reverse of polygamy ; for, aa in most Eastern countries, it is lawful for a nmn td have a plural ity of wives, in Thibet it is the cus tom for a woman to have a plurality of husbands. Tbe dsnal practice is for two, three, or four brother in a household to marry one wife. Tbey all rrsi.ie in one house, and tbe chil dren are considered to be the joint offspring of alL It is inconceivable to ns that sncb a r'ystem should ex ist for an honr ; but in Thibet, far from giving rise to tbe evils which might be expected to flow from it, it works easily and well, and the pic tures which travelers give us of Thib itan households display a degree of happiness and affection which certain ly equals that enjoyed in much more favored lands.

Allextown. April 4 About nine years ago tbe little village of Albur- tis; on tbe line of tbe Lis I reausyl vanis railroad, wm iutensuly ereited over (be dlcappcktance of a'yoobg tele graph operator named McKi-ocy. It was known that be-bad considerable money on bis person tbe night he' dis appeared, and as be faile 1 to' carry any of bis wearing apparel or other effecu, and no cause for so sudden a depart ure appearing, it was at once believed be bad been mnidered, but tbe crime could not be established against a:ij one. Nor sould tbe body be fonod. He was last seen entering ihe Ameri can House, near tbe depot, then kept by a man named Blank. The bouse bad a bad reputatiou and there was a strong feeling against the Blanks at the time. But proof positive was nut to be found; time wore ou aud McKiuuey was almost forgotten. He had but one friend in the neighborhood with whom be bad been in any way intimate bis mother lived away off in Illinois and Was too poor to put detectives to work in tbe ease. Bat tbe old adsge tbat "murder will out" is proving true in this cae. There seerdi to bate been an eye witutss to this murder. This witness is Lizzie Long, wbo was a servant girl in tbe house at tbe time. She has, after many years given up tbe secret, and ber story is as follows; McKinney Who bad lost an arm in the Rebellion, had just drawn his pen sion and also bis monthly pay from tbe Railroad company, and was out on a spree. He came to the American bouse, and late at night, after all tbe people bad dcpaited, was assaulted by (he propi let erf of tbe botel and he made a gallant defense. Tbe one-armd man proving too much for bis antagonist a son came to tbe assistance, and, tbongb pleading piteonsly for his life, McKin ney was brutally murdered and robbed. Tbe body was taken from the basement saldon, since closed np, carried into tbe barn and Lid in the bay mow. IV ben tbe smell became offensive tbe body was carried some five hundred yards across tbe fields and thrown into an abandoned iron mine. This mine was located on the farm of Blank's father, nd has since been filled up, so that to. day sixty feet of clay rest upon the body of McKinney. This story by Lizzie Loor w corrob orated in many important particulars. McKinney's bat was found in (be fields about midway between tbe hotel and tbe deserted shaft, three or four days after be disappeared. Three have been found wbo give important testi mony in reference to mattsrs about the barn, bnt this together with other facts, tbe officers wbo are working np this case desire suppressed for the present The attention of tba officers was drawn to this case by a family ftud wbich brought nut most of the fasts.

The Blank claim tbat she will not re peat her story. There are a doxn people at Alburtis to whom she has told! tbe Lojrible tale, and should she fail to speak out will be arrested aa an acces sory.
