Thh fourth steamer of the new lin LI
American steamships between Philadel #1
and Liverpool was launched lait Balm
at the ffzmyec.city - amidst great rejoicing

'wonderful y reseria from the ice a
weeks ago arrived at Washington on a lovz
=meat steamer last week. They were not
allowed to leave the vessel, being det: •ed
until a thorough examination into the truth
of their story can be made by the officers of
th; Navy Department. So far, nothing new
ba transpired in regard to their case.
TL
e tide of immigration this 'year is un-
precedented in the history of the nation.— :
Last week about thirteen - thousand of these
new citizens arrived at the port of New
York alone.- Just think of it, a good-sized
citYful of people added to the brain and
- muscle of the country in one short week!—
It is generally estimaird tliat every adult
person added to the population is worth,.in
a money point of view, one thousand dol-
lam. In other words, we received from the
old world last week a gift of about thirteen
' million dollars! Verily the balance of trade
is in our favor, whatever the gold barome
, ter may show.
The Modoc war having come to an end
by the forced surrender of Captain Jac
and his followers, the next question is, what
shall.we do with them? The President is

'having been referred to the Attorney Gen
eral, that officer rendered his decision last
-Saturday in favor of that course. In. ac
cordance with this opinion, it is probable
that the commission will be organized and
the trial proceeded with without delay.—
but with the utmost expedition, several
weeks will probably elapse before the pun
ishment of the murderous red-skins can take
place.
Late news from Spain is of the gravest
character. There have been mutinies by
the troops; fatal c'ollisions between bodies
of soldiers and citizens, and resignations by
officers of the army, all coming in rapid
succession and in widely separated provin
ces. And the civil confusion is as great as
the military turdtoil. President Figucras
resigned his office in disgust last Saturday,
moving in the Cortes for the proclamatio
of a federal republic. This nroteet -
lied by au overwhelming vote of the Cort
on Sunday, and a new ministrywas forme .
What the upshot of all this fuss will be no

Spain has a long and rough road' to travel

The New Yor Legislature having failed
to pass the local option law over the Gov
ernor's veto, the temperance people have
waxed very wrathy thereat, and threaten to
set up an exclusive temperance State ticket
and smash things generally next full. But
it turns out after all that the Legislature has
done more real service for the cause of tem
perance than the temperance men themselves
would have done had they. secured their
sweeping local option law. It passed the
civil damage bill, known as the Adair law
of Ohio, making its provisions even more
stringent than the act of the latter State.—
This is the same law which we have hereto
fore commended and urged the adoption of
in our own state. We believe it is the very
best and most easily executed act that can
be devised, and if the temperance men of
New York are wise they will at once enter
upon its active enforcement and let third
party movements alone. if they do not do
this, we predict they will be whipped out of
sight, as they will deserve to be. Speaking
to this very point, the Cincinnati Gazette
lays: " Only those could talk of such a
course who are densely ignorant of the scope
and meaning of the Adair law."
Murder
We depart from our usual custom to-day
in publishing the opening chapter of a case
which bide fair to prove one of the most
interesting io be found in the annals of
criminal jurisprudence. It -will be re
markable not because of any mystery sur
rounding the crime itself/ nor because of
any doubt as to tile identity of the criminal.
There have beent lot a few judicial puzzles 'l
i .,
that taxed the itor.nuity of the acmes! de
tectives and prosecuting attorneys, courts
and juries, Ito determine, first, whether an
alleged crime-had been committed, and, sec
ondly, whether the person charged was the
actual culprit. And these cases have been
handed down in the hooks to distract and
divide the opinions of succeeding genera
tions of students of human nature and ch.-%
cumstantial evidence. But 'this is not of
them. Here the facts are well known and
undisputed. No man can doubt—no advo
cate for the,kfense can undertake to deny
—that at a certain hotel in New York city,
'last Tuesday morning, Mansfield T. Wal
worth was shot dead by Frank H. Walworth,
his son, and that . the son intended at the'
time to slay his father. No man can well
doubt that the murdered man Wai decoyed
to his destruction deliberately and with mal
ice aforethought: It is probably too mach
to say that no man can deny that the mur
derous act was committed without duo prov
ocation, for tfie exigencies of the case may
force the defense to urge that the -provoca
tion was ample,' and this plea seems to be
foreshadowed by the carefully-prepared
statement of the prisoner made to the Coro
ner wider the sanction of the ablest legal
advice. But to - the mind of a layman the
plea in justification put forth in that state
ment seems of the flimsiest
This blue-eyed boy of nil i teen, who three
days before had killed his o n father, says
coolly, " I have committed no crime," and
then goes on to set forth the facts which he
supposes justify that statement. Ile Rays
Mathis father had treated his mother ern
ally for , years; that he had threatened her
life and the lives of her children; that about
three years ago his father beat his mother;
that the prisoner saw the marks of that
II
CM
NMMEI
beating, and then loaded a pistol,Agil_ had
since carried it; that he supposed his father
was armed; that the Prisoner's uncle bad
proposed-to take blot Ite,Fairepe, bet that he
(the prisoner) *Met troubled about `leaving
his mother without a protector; -that he
wanted to get reliable assurances that - liis
father would not molest his mother during
his absence, and that he had no intention of
_killing him. We quote the story of the fa
tal interview in the young man's own words:
"When he came into my rood I asked
him to sit down; he did so. I spoke to him
of his conduct, and said, 'Promise me that
you will
_neither threaten my mother nor
insult her or any of the family any further.'
He answered me; ' I promise,' but with a
look which implied to my mind contempt
and' the reverse of an intent to keep the
pronalse. ? He had just before put his hand
up to his breast; as if to pull out a pistol.—
I am unconscious of having fired More than
three times. He closed on me rapidly. his
grasp was upon inc when, I fired the last
time. Ido not think he said anything du
ring the whole interview except what I have
stated." L' •
These are the reasons that are supposed to
excuse the swift destruction of a human be- ,
hig. The young man had carried arms for
three years because of his enmity toward
his victim. He had armed himself for this
interview, and had meditated on it for hours..
He had placed his back to the door, and in
solently demanded of his own father a prom-,
iso of fliture good behavior; and then a
touch of irony in his father's voice, a scorn
' ful curl of the lip, and a motion of the vie
tim's hand- justified the son in slaying him!
It is hard to see why the shrewd lawyers
for the defense permitted this statement to
be made, unless for the purpose of inihig it
as an argument 'to Show insanity or nymp
mania on the part 'Of young Walworeth.t
'But the defense of insa . niq . has been rapidly
falling into disfavor among jurors, of lath.
The Cole case,and the 31'Farland case did
much to bring that plea into disrepute, 'and
many people are rapidly arriving at the con
clusion,' -already reached by a leading au
thority on mental diseases, that insanity
which prompts homicide may justly be
treated as a disease to be restrained just as
some other diseases less harmful to iioetety
are restrained—by adequate punishment.
But ''whether the plea of insanity is medi
tated-`in this case or not, it is evident that
an etfort is to be' made :to provide another
line of defense if it shall be needed. AP
ready a4ortion of the press is busily at
work manufacturing public sentiment for
the coolest criminal of the age. It is felt
that " the purest blood of the country"'
must not be disgraced by, the vulgar appli
cation of the rope, although . it has already
been corrupted by the blackest crime in,the
decalogue. It is insinuated that the mur
dered man, was not quite what he should
have been, and that he was slain for insult
ing and abusing a woman. Admit all-this
to be true, arid it does not begin to justify
murder. Not only in the eye of the, laW,
but in the view of every right-thinkingper
sOn, the life of the most degraded huthan
being is of infinitely more account than the
feelings, the comfort, or the hiT.Ppiness of
"the most exalted. And surely that society
which justly proposes to avenge the death
of Jim Fisk cannot very well afford to wink
•
t the crime which sent Mansfield T. Wal-
Werth to a bloody-grave. '
It is evident that every nerve will be
strained to save the parricide from the pun
ishment due his crime. Family itenee,
money, the highest legal talent, be lav
ished in his defense. This; is well. But it
is not well if passion, prejudice, or pity
usurps the place of justice. The reformed °
courts of New York have lately been re
gaining-for themselves no small measure of
that lrespect to which they were formerly
entitled. It remains to beseerthow their ton
sumo cruciai ILE,b4 to-winch. tuey are

WASHINGTON, June 3, 1873.
There is no longer any fear here for
warm weather. Hot weather is the most to
be afraid of. Although we have not had
hot nights, the mercury rises to between
eighty and ninety degrees above zero thro'
the' day. All prognosticate we will have a
very hot summer. Let's wait and see.
.
Tom Wright, who is to he executed here
next Friday, through his stubbornness has
caused himself to be both shackled and
handcuffed and his hands tied to his shackles
around his legs. Probably never before has
there been such a hard6ned criminal as is
this' Tom I Wright. He was convicted of
killing a peddler for money and his goods.
He has all along declared his innocence, but
the evidence against him on his trial was
such that no one do ts he committed the
murder. The wholard at the jail waited
on him yesterday and requested him to al
low a new suit of clothes to be put on him.
The shackles around his legs were removed,
and his pants put on, after which he be
came stubborn, and would not allow any
thing else to be •put on him; consequently
he now has nothing on but his pants, and
probably will not have until after he pays
the death penalty for the crime he has com
mitted. In accordance with the order of
the Department of Justice, it is probable
but few will be allowed to Witness the exe
cution, notwithstanding thousands have al
ready applied for tickets of admission to
the same. ' i
There certainly can be no lioo'frexcuse for
several anti-Grant newspaper correspondents
writing frbm Washington that the friend's of
the President design his becoming the Re
publican candidate -for the residency for
the third time. Whatever nifty be the wish
es of the President relative to it, Republi
cans here know nothing of it, and it is -be
lieved such a report has no foundation at all.
It, is thought here that these reports are got
ten,up with the view to encourage bad feel
ings against the President, and thus .defeat
the Republicans in some of the Congress
ional and Gubernatorial elections next year.
Occasionally, when the enemies of the
President can find nothing to denounce in
the general administration of the Govern
ment, they return to the old charge; so often
refuted, and persistently declare that he is
constantly drunk, and some even go au far
as to say that he is in . the last stages
.of deli
rium trentena. As a general thing, the friends
of the Government, the independent and
truthful press of the country, and corres
mudents of this city take no notice of these
slanders; but as these charges haves again
been started, this•time by a correspOndent
of the New York Sun, a paper devoted to
daily denunciation of the President, it may
be necessary for the • fourteenth time to say
that there is not even shadow of truth in
these charges.
The people of this city, who see e General,
Grant almost every day on the street, walk
ing or drivit l ig, and the oflicialswlso have
daily intercourse with him on business,
could not fail to 'notice any deficiency in
this respect, if it was even but partly true,
while those employed in and aronnd the
White House must know to a' certainty,
sonic of whom would not fail to scatter, the
news throughout the city. But ,from all
Moue mources of information nothing of the
kind has ever been heard, not even a whis
per, and the conclusion is therefore irresist- k
ibie that these charges are false. On the
contrary, 60/210 of the strong friends Of Gen.
s=ll
Grant assert that- he ,swings too strong, to
thk contrary side, and gives undueknetr
ngernent to the temperance cause: and the
eburch interest by
_appointing distinguished ,
temperance: advocates and ministers of the
gospel to important and) endive 'positions.
But . these charges. are: onbtless more or
less - influenced by thosee :,,,` ged in the great
liquor interest and _others opposed to any
encouragement of religion by the Govern- .
went; from which medium it may be ten
eluded that the President is very - evenly
baic:Nl, and 'certainly that the charge' of
ins mperance is entirely false. -. •
it is ratuer a strange coincidence that the
plat of ground recently purchased by : gen.
Butler in thiS city, which was at the time
considered of but very little value, is now
being talked of as the most deSirable site
for the proposed Executive licansion. If
the people don't think so, ' the Commission
authorizet to select a site does.
There are three or four fresh eases of the
small pox breaking out daily here, nearly
all is South Washington. '
An ambitions correspondent went, into
the • Department of Agriculture some time
ago and asked the usual courtesies of the
Department hi reference to the matter Pre
pared for the monthly reports. These were
granted him; but because he was uot; per
mitted to. take home with him and copy a
paper that had been prepared with great
care, he grew huffy, and went out swearing
vengeance. This is one of, the class of fel
lows who are blackguarding the Depart
ments because their insolent demands are
not complied with.
The whippers-in of the Union Pacific
Railroad and defunct Credit Whitler have
commenced a preliminary skirmish along
the lines, They now give out that the coun,
sel for the road will crush the Movement of
the govefument law officers, and that the
matter will at once be, curried to the Su
preme CoUrt of the United States. -It is
said that the act of Congress under which
the suit was entered is Unconstitutional, and.
that all proceedings under it are void. It is
wonderful indeed if a government has not
the power of self-protection by legal means.
The rebels contended that it could not re
sist by force its own 'disintegration. It is
funny if it has less power to go to law than
to go to war. The people will decide both
cases the same way.
The strength of 'American securities in
the European money markets,' in spite of
the late money panic radiating from Vien
na, is a significant evidence of our financial
strength. People of small means who sym
pathize with republican and progressive
ideas find the plighted faith of a great, free,
and self-governing people. of far more ac
count,than the word of dynasties and aris.
toeraeiw. Even the late rise in the Bank of
England discount has but lightly affected
our money market as yet, Qause idly: we
are-increasing our exports of produce and
diminishing our imports •of foreign g ods.
The demand for the export of gold is ere
fore less pieniug.

" PUREST BLOOD IN TIM COUNTRY': COR
RUPTED FOREVER-TILE CRUCIAL TEST OF
NEW YORK JUSTICE.
From the New Fork Times of Weernesda
Y, June 1M
The calendar of crime was augmented
yesterday morning by a terrible tragedy, ex
ceeding in interest almost any crime of the
day. Mansfield Tracy Walworth, an author
of some distinction, was shot. dead by his
eldest son, Frank H. Walworth, who decoy
ed him to a private room in a prominent
Broadway, hotel for the especial purpose of
killing him. So far, the case is one of un
usual repulsiveness—a father in the prime
of life ruthlessly shot dead by his son only
nineteen years old. Such is the startling
80 1 7:_____•,.._.e----...".",,,- 'vv.- LUJI.iI - UM
social status of the parties in it does the
crime of yesterday assume a prominent
place in the annals of the day.
Frank Hardin Walworth, the prisoner,
by the father's side is descended from the
Walworth family of New York,. and on the
Mother's side from the Hardin family of Il
linois, thus uniting the purest blood in- the
country. Mansfield Tracy- Walworth; mur
dered yesterday, was the eldest son, by a
, first Wife, of the - late Reuben Hyde Wal
worth, ex-Chancellor of the State of New
York, and nephew of Chief Justice Bar
bour of the Supreme Court, who on hearing
of the tragedy yesterday adjourned the
court, in which he was sitting at the time.
1 Mansfield Tracy Walworth was born in
1 Albany, in 1830, and graduated at Union
College in 1849. ,' Educated under the di
rection of his father, he studied for the law
and was admitted to the bar; but the prac
tice of the legal profession becoming Irk
some, he abandoned
. it for literature, and
began his career ;by contributing short
sketches to the Home Journal. In 1853 his
first novel, The Mission of Death, was pub
lished, and has since run through twelve
editions. In 1863 his next novel, • Lulu, a
Tale of National Hotel Poisoning, wasjs
sued, and several editions were published.
In 1864 his third work, Hotspur, a novel,
appeared, followed in 1800 by another nov
el entitled Stormcliff. During 1869 his most
important novel, Warwick, or the Lost Na
tionalities_ of . ' America, was sent out from
the press. In this novel he showed a predi
lection for the Roman. Catholic faith, and
his brother, Clarence Walworth, was soon
after converted I to the Roman Catholic re
ligion by Rev. Father Hecker, and is now a
Patina priest in the Fifty-ninth street mon
astery. This was followed by Delaplaine,
a novel, and Beverley his last novel, Pub-"
lished by Carleton & Co: In the line of bi
ography he published a work entitled The
Chancellors of New York, compiled from
facts furnished by his father. At present a
serial story entitled Married in Mask, me
of the characters of which is alleged to be
a satire on his wife, is in course of publica
tion in a weekly paper. In addition to these
works he published numberless short stories
in magazines, and wrote several lectures
which were delivered in this city. - •
Of Mr. Walworth's literary ability it may
be said that he was one of the foremost of
the class of prolific novel-writers so num , "
rous in this country. Perhaps, with the ex
ception of Professor William H. Peck, no
American novel-writer of the present time
has written and published more literary
matter. His ents were principally di
rected to descr ptive writing, and the finer
and more imp rtant attributes of construc
tion of plot an conception and distribution
i
of 'characters, • not wanting in his works,
were wasted to ch a marked degree that
situations, dra atic and' telling of . them
selves, and which in the hands of Dickens,
Collins, or Reade, would make the work
live as one of merit, were nullified for want
of judicious treatment and proper phrasing.
His works were only intended for, and only
bought by, the numerous class of persons
who admire glittering and gaudy descrip
tion and sentimental story-telling. In this
respect they were admirably successful, and
netted the author a fair income.
. THE STORY OF Hie MARRIAGE.
The story of Mansfield Walworth's mar
riage of itself is a romance. His 'wife, Miss
Nelly Hardin, was the daughter of the fa
mous Col. John J. Hardin, of Illinois. Col.
Hardin was one of the most distinguished
lawyers in the State, and a formidable rival
of Senator Stephen A. Douglas, so much so
that Douglas on one.occasion declared Har
din to be the only man in Illinois whom he
feared to meet in debate. Col. Hardin was
born at Frankfort, Ky., and removed to Inf.
nois and settled in Jacksonville, where ha
practiced law and became the prosecuting
attorney for the circuit. He served as mem
ber of the Illinois Legislature from 1836 to
1842, and was a Representative in Congress
from Illinois from 1843 to 1846. He mar
ried a Kentuckylady, and had one child, a
daughter, Miss Hardin, (Mansfield T.
Walworth's wife.) On the breaking out of
the Mexican war he organized.tbe First Illi
nois Infantry, and left with his regiment for
the seat of war. At the battle of Buena
Vista Feb. 23, 1847, under Oen. Taylor,
Hardin fought with such desperate bravery
and recklessness that his name spread thro'
the entire army. Ile wad not destined to
survive the day, for a, charge was ordered,
and Hardin, fighting-in the foremost rank,
fell. His body was recoVered and interred
with the highest military 'tenors. Mrs.
Hardin came to this State and met Chancel
4pr Walwortb, then a widower. They were
Warted, and young Mansfield Wal worth of

next to Prank W alworth's room, heard the
shots, and jumping out of bed, opened the
door of-his room. He saw Frank -Wel
worth, with a pleasant smile on his face,
come out of his room, and, walking calmly
through the coiridor, go downstairs, Mr.
Moorehead opened the door of young Wal
worth's room, and staggered back in,horror,
for the first object that met his view was the
body of Walworth lying in a large pool of
blood on the floor, the central figure of a
ghastly scene.
Young Walworth, in his summer suit of
gray, walked leisurely to the telegraph of
fice and handed the operator the following ,
dispatch: -. •
"STMITZTANT H017.9E, New York,-4. Nardflo, Chi=
cago, have shot and killed father.
,' FHANE li. WALWOBTit
Before the operator could recover froth
his astonishment young Walworth had
"bend ?
ing
the hotel office counter, and bendi
ing over, asked the clerk, " Where is the
nearest police station?" The clerk answer
ed, "The Twenty-ninth Precinct, in Thir
tieth street, near tleventh avenue." Frank
Walworth then answered, " I have "killed
my father in my room, and I am going to
surrender myself to the police." He then
walked out of the hotel. As he passed into
Broadway, Doolittle and Moorehead came
rushing into the office from upstairs and an
nounced the murder. - ;._ The hbtel was crowd
ed with guests; theatest excitement pre
vailed; and the clerkand officials of the
hotel at once locked up Frank Walworth'S
room, and shut out the hideous sight within
it from the curious and excited guests who
thronged the corridor.
THE BON BIIHRENDERB ITIMSELF.
Sergeant Washington Mullen was on duty
in the Twenty-ninth Precinct station house
in Thirteenth street yesterday morning at
6:40 o'clock. At that hour Frank Walworth
entered the station house, and walking up
to the desk, said: " Are you the officer in
command here, Sir?" Sergeant Mullen said
" Yes." Young Walivorth then said: "My
name Is Frank H. Walworth; I have just
shot and killed my father, - Mansfield T.
Walworth, in the Sturtevant House, and
here is my pistol;" at the same time hand
ing Sergeant Mullen a five-chambered Colt's
revolver, four chambers of which had been
discharged. Sergeant Mullen said, " What
possessed you to do such a thing? what was
the matter?" Young Walworth replied,
"Family trouble." Sergeant Mullen then
locked him up, and ran tol the Sturtevant
House to see if there was any foundation
for the statement lie bad just heard. He
found it true, and returning to the station
house, telegraphed to Coroner Young, and
notified Captain Burden of the occurrence.
THE CORONER TAHEB DITARGE OP THE BODY.
Coroner Young at once responded to the
summons, and with his deputy proceeded
to the Sturtevant House and took charge' of
the body. The scene in the room was very
terrible. - Mr, Mansfield Walworth was a
man of ,fine stature and portly build, with
delicate features, oval face, light mustache ;
blue eyes, dark brown hair, and high fore
head—a man of striking appearance. He
lay partially on his side, his head toward a
washstand near:the window of the room,
and his feet toward the door. He was.,ele
gantly and neatly dressed in dark broad
cloth coat and vest, and lavender. trowsers,
dress' shirt, white tie, and plain ,gold
studs. On the carpet was found the card
which he had written in the office of„the
hotel. It was all crumpled up,.where young
Walworth on receiving it had crushed it in
his hand and thrown it on the floor. There
Were four wounds found on the body, three'
of which were fatal. One shot broke the
right arm, one entered just below the right
nipple of the breast, another at the left nip
ple, and the fourth and last crashed into the
skull at the right ear and entered the brain.
There were powder marks surrounding the
surface of the last wound. The letter writ
.ten by young Walwortb on Monday and
left at his father's house was found in the
inside breast pocket •of Mr. Walworth's
.ehair at the wilutiiw: Thesli*-Vaig over;

except that it will annoy my family and

While making the above statement young
Walweith did not exhibit any emotion, -ex

he showed an expression of proud ever
