The ouc with black hair and wiskcra gave his name ns Ira Hogshead of Greenville, 8. C , nnd said that the elder :nnn wns his fatherin-law, Kphrnim Cassle, and thnt h<-, too, lived iu Greenville. They told their story ns follows: "We had been having a correspondence with a man iu New York city who gave his name ns James Mansfield, nnd he offered to sell us $1,000 worth of counterfeit money, which could not he idcntifii d ns counterfeit, for $100, nnd we mnde arrangements to meet him here. When w? left Greenville we telegraphed him that we hnd st-irtcd, nnd when we reached PhiUdclpliia on Saturday we telegraphed him aguiu. Our insti notions were to go to the New York Ilotcl, Poughkoepsie, and meet a man to take us to New Y-ork. We came up on the West Shore road to Newburgli, and then crossed by boat to the Hudron River Railroad, and arrived here at 10 o'clock. We went to the New York Hotel and got a room. We had been in ifr nhnn* li?tf an hour when the agent of the man we had been corresponding with entered. "I was lying on the bed, resting," said llogfehead, "and we had a talk nbout g??ug ty flowman whoJ c?mo tojMiKS^utod uato go, but we were no Vr&ra?ull night, aud we didn't 1 care to go to.

Then the talk continued, and liia manner and talk were such that I considered my life in danger, and I shot bim, thinking he was going to murder and rob us." When tho two men were searched at Police Headquarters Hogshead had $176 concealed in his clothing and Csssle had $146 concealed about bis person. The revolver used was a British bulldog, 88calibre, and belonged to Csssle, but Hogshead bad it in his valife and took it from tho valise to shoot his victim. Hogshead said that they had brought it along, thinking they might want to use it. The wounded man was shot in the nese at the corner of the right eye.

Old man Cassle says that when Hogshead shot Appo the latter was sitting at the foot of the bed on a chair, ai d (logshead was sitting on the I ed wi h an open valise alongside of him, and that Hogshead reached over into the valise and got the pistol.

I know they cannot he wholly, for I know there are a host of tiuc Allium: men in the Sou h who will resent the attempt. To those who are about to bj influence I by th's partisan movement, 1 beg of you to consider well the cons- qucnces that would follow if it were successful. You k-ow how c tncstly your represeutat v s plead with us to bury the bloody shirt; to till up tho ghastly eh sm that divides us; t? obliterate thc'scctional barriers that had kept us apart for thirty years, leaving us an easy prey to our common euemv, tlie money power. The grandest work, the crowning glory of I)rother Polk's life, was tho success of his mission in reuniting us. When he I caine North with your fraternal greeting, with the message from tho brethren in | kjc nouui, lu'lor brotherly love, inviting us to uuits with you, we accepted, un'.LMVJUiftuaHjf -notmi ( }. , ?r.Mid work shaU be. destroyed far par. ism ptirposesT^ Our opponents in the North clamed nnil insist-d that the objects of the Southern Aliinnc, ns they called the P. A. and I. U., was to mi-lead the Northern Alliancemen away from their licpublican moorings that the Deiuoc atic party might come into power. We know that in our work we prcssc 1 our principles regardless of the effect on political parties, but the result has been to the advantage of tlrr Dcmocra'ic party as predicted. Should the present scheme I of disruption succeed, it would confirm the claim that was their object. Cona der this well, as it affects yourselves. You need the aid of your co-laborers in the Noith and West. We have had not only to meet the contention that we arc a '"Democratic aid society," but that it was a Southern Alliance, officered and managed by 8. uthern men. We re sen'ed the insinuation, knowing well that it had been a question of titness for office, and not of location. Now, when the hand of death has removed him whom we delighted to honor and a man from the Northwest happens to b; elected your president, shou'd division come it will place us in a doubly embarrassing posit ons.

Should the blighted ambition of one man, or of a thousand men, shatter our forces and stny our progress? God forbid. The meu who are attempting it are committing a crime against humanity. Close up the ranks, we are in the fight to win. Men are nothing, the cause we love is everything. Yours fraternally, H. Ij. Looms. To Purchase Temple Farm. Washington, I).

He was not aware that it had been reported from the committee on public buildings and grounds, of which he is acting chairman. A desire was expressed by Mr. Cockerel! that the 8- nator fiom Vermont would at ronic time look into the questi< n of the market value of land as compared with the price named in the bill.
