Resignation. Washington, Jan. '25. ?The,letter which Relator Lutn^r wrote tb^~Cominonwea5tfc c!u*> of Philadelphia regreft?6jj his inabflity to attend the Carlisle.reception, is now for the first time made p^'btid concluding paragraph is as followsi "The paramount jst?ue before the cohntrJ:jp still the refona ol the national government from its sectionaiUsurpation and corruption. The great want of the country is peace ajjd administrative reform. T? accomplish this great end oJ admistrative reform all true democrats, all patriots, -whether of democratic 01 rcjjublican antecedents, who are willing tc co-operate, should, whatever may bs thair | differences on other questions, unite to elect a democratic president. The union of the democracy for the good of th& Union is the first step to a crowning victory that will inaugnrate an administration under which local self-government, a fro? and harmonl ? oas play of economic forces, the just rights of states and individuals, of labor and capital, mil be secured, and at the same time the American, republic shall have opened tc it a career of grandeur and beneficenct transcending even the glories of the past." The official announcement of the resignation of John C. Now as assistant secretary oi the treasury now made is not unexpected. Mr. New accepted the position under wha< he supposed to be an assurance that he-wouk be expected to boM the position only a short time, after which he might be appointed sec retary. At that time it was thought that Secretary Folger would be either promoted to me other position or would retire froir thy cabinet. Mr. New has since, at differenl times, when it was evident that the supposed arrangement would not be made, notified th< president of his desire to retire; but the president last fall urged him to remain. It ii now believed that Mr. New is not in favor ol President Arthur's renomination. His pressing business interests are given as the cause of his retirement. A fewdays since ex-Speaker Keifer said the resignation of Mr. CW. Tyson, a committet stenographer of the forty seventh congress, was volunteered and showed the communication containing the resignation, which wa< dated March 3, ISSo. Mr. Tyson was exam it :od by Messrs. Dockery, Brewer-^ and Mulkr, of the house committee on accounts, una lie said that, the resignation had been demanded by Mr. Keifer. who expressed a de sire to appoint in his stead bis nephew. Mr. Tyson further said that he had not contemplated resigning until asked to do so by the ci -speaker.

He testified : hat once he came into their office a- -1 fouml Rowel!.crying and saving to himself, ''She was such a pretty woman." Rowell was a kind and loving man to his family; he took great pains in erecti:i^ tho now iurfise and accepted his wife's su^estious regarding the plan. Palmer said that he sup^ested to Rowell that the letter box be watched, and that Lynch that night visited the new house. He was a powerful man. and unless Rowell was armed he might crush him. Palmer also explained to the prisoner how to make a slungshot out of stone a ad a stocking, saying it was more than a. elnb. Rowell sold bis share in tho paper box factory for $1,200. He bad r,o other property ercept his house, I which lie partly purchased with money realized from the sale. He testified that many of Roweli's actions before the time of the shooting led him to regard him as insane. Mr. Thomas, the reporter who found the bullet on the pillow the day after the shooting, and Mr. Turmer, the undertaker who laid out Lynch's remains, were the iast witnesses for the prosecution. District Attorney North then announced that the case for the stats was dosed. Some excitement is caused by an alleged interview with Mrs. Rowell, in The Spirit of The Times, a weekly paper of BataTrin Tt- rhAnr?s Palmer with havine made improper advances to Mrs. RowelL These she repulsed, and she regarded Palmer as only being-jealous because she thought more of Lynch than she did of him. The strongest possible language is quoted as having been used by Mrs. Rowell, and contemptible epithets areapplied to Palmer. Mrs. Rowell was completely overcome whenshe heard of . it and denounced it as absolutely and unqualifiedly false in every respect. The interview is said to have been written by a former neighbor of the Rowells, who a few days ago made a friendly call on her and with whom she talked somewhat freely., but Without using, as she claims, the expressions ifctributed to her. SENATOR MAHCNE ATTACKED A Sitter Oasliuisht made Upon litm by State Senator "Newberry. Richmond, Va.. Jan. 24.?The event in legislative -circles is the discussion of Senator Newberry's- resolution calling upon Senator Hahone to resign his seat in the United States Senate. The senate chamber MnmKA** r\ 1 sAo Kainop nT'/ic. wosuunuw) a uuuivo4 vs* iwuiw w ?nc. Mr. Newberry opened in support of the measures and made a fierce onslaught upon Mahone, whom he termed a vile slanderer of Virginia. He arraigned him for leaving his-seat ia the last, congress and taking up abode fn Richmond for the purpose of dictating to the legislature; for assuming to himself an air of authority foreign to the customs of a free people, and for making the legislature pass laws to advance his own interest and gratify his insasiated greed for plunder,: place and power. * 'Think of it for a moment," Mr. President apd senators," said the speaker, "and then bite your lips and hang your beads in shame, and with uplifted band and a firm resolve let us swear that the c4>nH nmrawha oooirv m fWc <Srir house. Let the seal of our condemnation be placed upon it. It-is abHghtontha fair name of Virginia, an insuit to the manhood of ber people, and such conduct is 'without'a parallel in her history, and, so far as I know, is without a parallel in this great nation. It is an insult to the virtue and intelligence of a free people, and a usurpation of a power not to be tolerated under any circumstances. Every instinct of-our nature and every emotion of our souls revolts" at the thought of a petty tyrant and puny boss advertising us tc fha tvorM nnr? rrrinffont in asrmeakinfftonG of voice; 'Virginia for sale! Who'll buy, who'll buy? Yes, Mr. President, Virginia was offered for sale and was sold. But thank God sto was not delivered. Though fettered and. bound as she was, she is still free. She has broken the withes of stalwartisms with which she was bound, and her brave and noble people are free. And, sir, permit me fco say here, that they have been down to the bands of the leprous taint of bossism and have consecrated their hearts anew to the cause of human freedom and mean to strike for a higher and a purer Anglo-Saxon civilization. " The speaker at some length argued to show that Mahone, while he was being elected to the United States senate as a democrat, was intriguing with Grant and Cam-, eron and giving assurances that he would cast the readjcster influence for Grant. He charged further that, being elected as a democrat to represent a democratic ueupie, ilalione had now gone over to the republicans, if they would have him. He has made Virginia a mere pocket borough in the bauds of a trading politician whose vanity has outgrown his discretion and whose patriotism is measured by his purse. The speaker bitterly anathematized Mahone as a traitor and traducer, who had spread abroad lies about bloodshed in Virginia. Mr. Newberry said this was one of the most peaceful and law-abiding states in the Union. He insisted that the people of Virginia had the right to demand Mahone's resignation. His Story Xot Credited.

Havana, Jan. 25.?Advices from H^yti give the prrticulars oZ the manner in which the capitulation of Jeremie and Jacmel was effected with the assistance of representatives of foreign powers. On December 21 President Salomon informed the foreign representatives and consuls that Jerexnie had surrendered, and that one of the clauses of capitulation was that several of the 'oreign dipplomats or consuls should assist in the execution of the treaty of surrender. The president at the same time asked tho representatives to assist him in the consolidation of peace, and to accede to the fulfillment of the clause of stipulation. Tho foreign ministers and consuls after considering the request agreed to- send three men of war of different nationalities to Jercmie, carrying as many commissioners, one of each 1 * : ?.t_; nationality, aiiu uu give wuxs appDiuucu tha minister of the United States and the consals of Spain and England as said commissioners. These parties left Port au Prin ee for their destination on the evening of Dec. 2G, on the Amer/can corvette Swatara, English schooner Fo&ro, and Spanish gunboat Jorge Juan, arriving the following morning at Jeremie. They landed immediately, and after conferring with the revolutionaiy committee in the town and the general commanding the government troops, who assured them that their presence had been especially desifed in order to prevent disturbance, witnessed at three o'clock in the afternoon the entry of the government troops into the city and forts. Tho arrival of the troops caused no commotion whatever, and next day the rfrtaivnAii to Port au Prince in their respective vessels.' Before Jeremie surrendered the govjernmenttr oops had taken by assault the villages of Corail and Pestel. Jacmel was driven to capitulation for want of provisions.

The expedition effected a landing at Tenom on the 7th inst,, and the land and naval forces bombarded and burned the rajah's capital. The resistance made by the natives was desperate.

HUNTING A DESPERADO ^Long Island the Sceno of Another Rural Murder. Farmer Spra^ne Stricken Down In His Barn?His Wife Assaulted and Bobbed?Chase and Capture of the Criminal. Brooklyn, Jan. ?.-jur. tseaiy oprague, who, with his wife Sarah, resides at East Meadow, L. I., on a farm on the line of the Stewart Central railroad, abont five miles from the village of Hempstead, was tho victims of a terrible crime yesterday. The nearest house is Mr. Peter Pettit's, which is one quarter of a miie cast, and Mrs. Sprague's brother's, about the same distance to the west. About seven o'clock in tho morning Mr. Sprague, after starting tho kitchen fire, went out to the barn, 100 feet from the house, to take care of his stock, leaving Mrs. Sprague in the kitchen preparing the breakfast. He had not been gone from the house more than twenty minutes when Mrs. Sprague was surprised by the entrance into the kitchen of a negro wearing a heavy plush cap and light eolored overcoat The latter was covered with blood. She at once asked him what he wanted. "I want money. I will kill you," be shouti d, and seizing her by the hair, struck her a stinging blow in the moutb, catting her lip and loosening her teeth. When he entered the house he bad in his hand a flat iron bar (fish plate, used to join railroad rails) about 1 wo fret in length. This piece of iron, which tvas covered with blood, he laid down on tho mat by the kitchen door. Mrs. Sprague said to him: "Have you killed my husband?^ and he replied, "No; but I will kill you if you do not get me tbe money." Mrs. Sprague then started to get' the money, going through the- dining room to the parlor, at the southwest corner of the house. She took her pocketbook, which contained '$33 in gold, silver and bills, from the bureau and laid it on the table. The negro at once picked it up, and while he was trying to open it she ran out of tbe front door and across the fields to Mr. Petfit's. whom she alarmed, -and then to her brother's. -Mr, Pettit with Mr. Carnian and others went immediately to Sprague's, and on going to the barn found -the-door closcd. Outsida and near the barn were two bundles of cornstalks, where they bad been laid by Mr. Sprague. ?0n opening the barn door a terrible sight met their gazo. Lying on the barn floor near the door lay Mr. Sprague covered with blood and unconscious. Close by the'door was a large pool of blood, and blood was spattered on the maager and feed bags. He , was at once taken to the house and Drs. Searing and Ludlow, of Hempstead village, were hastily summoned. They dressed his wounds, but were not able to restore him to consciousness. He has ten terrible gashes in tne front part of the head and his skull is fractured. The wounds were mad* wi th the j narrow edge of a fishplate. Mr. Sprague bad upon his person 5130, which was upon him in an.inside vest pocket All the-other pockets of his clothing had j been searched, as was evidenced bv the blood marks upon them. The murderer, as'soon as*Mrs. Sprague ran out-of the bouse shouting for help, must have immediately left, as he was not seen by Pettit or Carman. Fifty men and boys armed with guns, pistols and clubs are m pursuit of the fugitive, tracking him toward Westbury. In a dirt pile about two hundred yards from the house, on the line of Stewart's Central road, his cap that he had thrown away was found and further on his nwpiwmt. At the-store of Edward Kelsev. in Westbury, he purchased a hat, coat and pair of boots, and also a pocketbook, a * said ho was about to go to Syossett. When the train arrived Mr. Kelsey told him ''that the train went to Greonport, and for him to wait for the next one," which he did. Officer Robert Pratt-, of Hiefesviile, who was on the next train^ was informed -of it and ho stopped off and- arrested him. Officers Ayres and Buckler soon after arrived, ana ine tare? juicers, wim tuxficnlty, prevented the excited crowd from lynching him. He was finally-taken to Hicksville before Justice Edgar Davis, and at noon driven over to Mr. Sprague's house. Mr. William -Sprague, a brother of the wounded man, struck tha prisoner a powerful blow in the face, and would have ' killed him had r.ot wiser counsels prevailed. Mrs. Sprague fully identified- him as the man who struck her in the morning and to whom she gave the money. He was then taken back to Hicksville, where the greatest excitement prevailed last evening, and renewed threats of lynching were freely made. He was strongly guarded, and taken to the Queens county jail at Long Island City on a late train. It is supposed he tried to enter the house during the night, as marks were found upon one of the side windows, showing that the attempt had been made to pry it open. He then, it appears, went- into the barn. When Mr. Sprague came out he knocked him down as soon as he got on the barn fl;or. Mr. Sprague is forty-tbreo years of age and a strong, athletic mao. Mrs. Sprague is a small lady and is about the same age as her husband. The arrested, man gives his name as Cbarles A. Smith, and says that he resides in Poverty HoHow, in tbe: town of Rj?-c Wo ic ?bf>nfc tiiirtv ve?rs fit ageT light build, very dark and bas a heavy moustache and side whiskers. At a late hour he was folly identified as Charles A. Bug?, of Oyster Bay. Mr. Sprague is still alive- and his physicians have some hope of his recovers1. , , A Bloody Tragedy. Chicago, Jan. 26.?A United Press special from Elgin, I1L, reports a bloody tragedy which occurred on the "Wetmore farm, four miles west of Elgin. Wm. Coombs and his' wife have for .months past quarrelled over vKyf+one -fir/1 W T?AW UUUICOUV; JiiUVVbi tMJW vwuw W v.s^. and his-wife dying. The corpse of the husband was found just as it fell, with a gash ib the throat large enough to put an open hand in. The bed clothing, walls and fioor were saturated with blood, giving evidence of an awful struggle. Mrs. Coombs, with knife in band and bleeding to death, bad managed to reach a neighbor's house, leaving a trail of blood in the snow. Coombs was an Englishman, well known, in Elgin. His first wife died in England, his second wife was divorced, and the third and last is the one who killed him. "When the woman learned her husband was dead, she exclaimed. "Thank God." -The neighbors think, from the facts known, that Coombs in a frenzy attempted to kill his wife, and that she killed him. The -coroner's inquest may throw some light upon tho case. Milwaukee's Sensation. '. Milwaukee, Jan. 20.?The suit of Daniel Wells, jr.,, against Peter McGeoch for an accounting of the great land deal of last July is the sensation of the day in Milwaukee. McGeoch's answer to'Wells' charges is a very full expose of the great land deal. The-complaint is exceedingly long. Among other -tfiiflgsffsffows that there was a regularly im nnrnTiflflt knhwoAn MftGfiooh And Wells and that both woro to ba equally liable for all losses and to cqualJy divide the profits. McOeoch says that Wells was worth $5,000,000 at the time of the land collapse, and that when he was called upon to "whack up" his part he made representation that he was not worth $1,000,000 and that all kinds of fraudulent claims and misrepresentations were made to get rid of paying one-half of the losses. The compact shows that the parties made and lost many millions of dollars in the three years they were dwiling together. The case is one of the most important ever tried in the local courts, and about all the prominent lawyers in the city are engaged on either one side or the other. McGeoch concludes by demanding $1,000,000 damages to his business and cliaricter. ban rRAXClSCO, Jan. Zi.?IE was annouuced yesterday that the case of the wMnw Colton aeainst the Central Pacific Railroad company, had, at the instance of the defence, been postponed for a week. It is believed that this is only preliminary to an annoncement that the defendants have concluded to accede to the demands of Mrs. Colton, and that a settlement will be made with her on a more equitable basis than that which she accepted immediately after hsr husband's death. It is understood that the recent publication in full of the Huntington* Colton letters has alarmed the defense, and that they fear the books of the Western Development company and Finance company, which have been ordered to be proVd tViA mrrrt. wrniW enable th? news UUVOU t-rj v-v ?- -7 _ papers to-make more uncomfortable revelations.
