Kcirsn, the late Speaker of the
Lower House t f Congress, proposed
to open tbe rejwrters gallery to spec

Spesker and closed the door on the

gallery. The reporters work fir the
whole newspaper leading world, and
it seems queer that Kcifer should
have thought of filling their gallery
with a crowd of people, that were
only bent on night seeing. Perhaps
the Speaker desired to have the place
occupied by his friend, so that they
uight gvt a notice, but he filled to
et the favorable side of tho report
ers. The SUr Rout cs.se, in the Wash
ington court, created a sensation
last Wednesday. A witness had tes
tified that a check for 2,0 JO, had liecn
drawn for Congressman, James Bel
ford. Bel ford on the witness stand
desired to testify in regard to the
--beck, but the court refused to Lear
him on that point. He then left the
witness stand, and arked the court
to be allowed the privelege of mak
ing a statement. The court refused
to hear him. Belford then said,
"I state before the living God, that
I never saw suoh a check." The
court declared Bclfords expression
an act, in contempt of Court,
and fined the Congressman $100.
Dr. Edward Eoolestos says: Froji
the beginning the Americans have
been a migratory people. New Eng
landers, as we have seen, planted
themselves in Westchester and on
LoDg Island, came bv throngs into
east Jersey, and migrated to the
more southern colonies. So Virgin
ians helped to people Maryland and
North Carolina, migrated to the more
sonthern colonics. So Virginians
Lelped to people Maryland and
North Carolina, migrated northward
to New York, and, even before the
Revolution, began to look wistfully
over tbe monntain barrier into the
great interior valley. New York
Dutch migrated to South Caroliua ;
some of them settled also in Maine,
Pennsylvania and Maryland, while
Penneylvanians excited by fear of
Indian massacre during the French
wars, occupied much of the monn
tain and "piedmont" regions of tbe
colonies to tbe southward. It is said
ihat of three thousand five hundred
suilitamen of Orange county in North
Carolina during the Involution,
every man was a native of Pennsyl
vania. There was an incessant move
ment to and fro of people set king to
better their condition. Once the
European had broken away from his
mooring of ccntnries, the vastness of
the new continent piqued him. and
he became a rover. This instability
as to place remains yet in the Amer
ican character. The mental alertness,
which comes of changing circnm
stances, new scenes and unexpected
difficulties, was early remarked by
travellers as a characteristic of the
Mtiva of the colonies.

Executed.
Uriah Movr, one of the murder
ers of John Kintzler and wife, was
hung at aliddlebur. on Wednesday,
March 7, 1S83. The murder was
committed on Saturday night De
cember 8, 1877. There is an other
one of the murdering party in jail at
Middloburg, his name is Israel Erb.
When Mover stood on the scaffold
ready for execution, he at-ked per
mission to speak, his request was
granted, and in Gorman L said :
casion. The murder was confined
to me. Jonathan and Ettin?er. This
i.s all I have to say ; for the rest look
at my confession."
The confession that he refered to
is in the possession of Mr. Hpengler,
of Middleburg.
Spengler, has given the following
points for publication : -I never
thought of murder nutil Israel Erb
spoke to me about the killing of John
Kiut.ler. He said that eld Johu was
a mean old devil ; that he called him
a rail thief, and that he would like
to Bee him killed. He said farther
that he wae no good to anybody ;
that ho had no friends to huut it up
if he wa6 killed, and that a person
would be perfectly safe in doiug it.
He said : 'We don't neod to kill the
oid woman ; we can lay in the woods
above the boue. and then when old
John comes np to let off the water
to ion it over his laud we could shoot
him and then tie our faces up so the i
old woman would not Know us,
which would scare her and the would
tell us where all the money was.' I
then told Emanuel Ettiu-'er of the
conversation that parsed between me
anj Erb a?id he agreed to go along
and do his p.irt S Emanuel and I
were there and w..tche 1 in the woods
at difffieut times, but never gut sight
of John Kintzler. '
That was the first effort A ecc
ond attempt to murder Kintzler also
failed- The third effort resulted in
the murder of both Mr. and Mrs.
Kintzler. The party got into the
house under the preteuse of meudiug
a lard can. The confession says:
"Eitinger was sitting on a griud
stone behind us with the gun lying
across his knees. He ct onco pulled
at the hammer with Lis thumb, when
Kintzler heard biin and asked him
what he was doing. Ettinger said :
'I was just pliviug with this ham
mer.' Kintzler i n I : I want nobody
to fool with a guu in uiv house; put
it down.' I then said : 'Yes, Eman
uel, put it down.' He did so. After
the can wae mended I said : 'I tniuk
it still leaks.' K nn'.er said : No it
don't ; I sbnt all the holes that were
in it' I then said: We could see if
we would pnt water into it and that
I would go to the spring and put
water into it.' When I started to
ward the spring Kiutzler came to
the door a little to the right and
stood there. I went to the spring.
filled the can about half full of water
aud as I was Lidding it np I said : "1
don't think it leaks at ail.' Kiutzler
then came walking towards inc.
When he was close to me I 6aid ; -I
guess it don't leak.' Just ss I turn
ed the can to pour ont the water Et
tinger fired. Kintzler turned to
ward the house immediately. Et
tinger intercepted him and a seveie
struggle enUi-d. I started to run
np through the lot got n tbe feiea
and looked back just as Ettinger dis
patched the old man. He then came
running up the lot toward where I
was. I bw-kone 1 with my band to
go back. I meant to ki.l tbe old
woman, for I knew she would tell on
us. He tnrncd, ran back aud met
the old lady right iuside of the door.
He struck her once with the gun,
when she sank to the floor. After
ward she breathed heavily, and Le
struck her again. That finished her.
We wa.ted long enough for auy
one in the neighborhood who might
have heard it to appear on the scene.
YA hen all danger was past e both
went back into the honse.
After we entered I heard the old
lady breathe very . heavily, when I
said to Ettinger, ""My God, the old
woman is not dead . He then stud,
I must finish it now." He then took
a stick of wood and struck her sev
eral times. We then hunted for
money, but not very long. We
thought we heard some one coming,
when Ettinger kicked tbe lid off a
chest or box of some kind. We grab
bed what was in it and ran. We had
nothiug but watch crystals and a few
tnukeU. Not a ctnt of monsy. Uy
this time it was dark. We then went
home, I to uiv house, Ettinger to my
brother Jonathan's for whom he was
workiing at the time.
The ntxt (Saturday I butchered.
After the hogs were killed and the
lard on the fire for rending, I took a
pair of 6hoes and went over to Israel
Erb. I thought if the thing was
known I would find it ont Erb and
I did not sp: ak of it that afternoon
When I returned home Jonathan and
Ettinger were at my house. They
had finished rendiiisr the lard aud
pnt away the meat I had some
wine in the cebar at tbe tune. Jliey
had drank of it pretty freely. We
waits-1 until after dark when we three
started for Kintzler's, I don't know
what time we got there, bat would
suppose it to have been abont 9 o'
clock. We theu got a light and be
gan to search for the mouey. We
hunted high and low in every place
we thought there might be some, but
found only seventy-five dollars
either a few cent more or a few cents
less. Jonathan found an old Coffee
pot in the west corner, up stairs un
der an old bed. It eont-iued some
th ng like fifty-two dolhrs. Ettinger
fonod a paste board box with some
thing like twenty three dollars in it
The largest piece of money fonud
was in the cofiee pot The next larg
