Tale of is Murder Five men left Girardsville on Sunday evening, the 20th day of February two of whom were named Oliver, Ralph and tho former uncle to the latter.

One of the number was naiced Robert Clark, who was also a nephew to Ralph Oliver. Along with them were two Irishmen, by the name of Hrown and Lafferty. These men were on their way home, going to Colorado Colliery. Retween Girardsviilo and Colorado is a place account of it being the seat of many wars the Rappahannock. The inhabitants of this village of shanties are not all natives of this country the majority of the elder portion at least belonging to a certain county named which county is situated in an isle of the noted for its picturesque beauty of scenery and inhabitants, who are at once hospitable and hostile.

Our Rappahannock consists in a group of shanties, violation of all the rules of a mountain gorge, at the bottom of which flows the little river of Mahanoy. At tbe upper end of the shanties a literal branch of the Reading Railroad Company crosses the road leading through it. This fact alone reminds tbe traveller that he is in a civilized oountry for the wild scenery around, with those huts and their inhabitants, convey not tbe faintest idea of civilization. This is especially so in the dusk of the evening, after the last rays of the sun have left the highest peaks of the surrounding mountains, when these loom above you in dim skeleton outlines more i like vague shadows than realities. The thick wood and underbrush approach the very margin of the road, offering a ready ambush for the murderer and the 1 highwayman.

All along the road you are reminded of the extreme dreariness of the place and i he rippling of the dark river, as it flows in ita bed below you, does not add any i charm to the prospect of a cold winter's night, such as was that of the date of our1 story. Our party passing throng Rapua- bannock, and one of the Irishmen, a tine young fellow, as the saying goes, insisted on treating the party at the rum shop which i the village of shanties boasts. It was with reluctance that tbo rest of the party entered the tavern but they consented at last to do so, more to gratify tbe ambition of tbe young man offering to treat, than to indulge their appetites by tasting the flavor of its and partake of such cheer as place afforded. Inside once, the drinks were called for; but Ralph Oliver instead of something to a cigar. Tbe landlord being destitute of that modern necessary, a box of matches, handed Ralph I a piece of paper to light his cigar with.

As Ralph did this, a party of the dents came from au inner establishment is divided into more than some of them went up) to Ralph Oliver and demanded a aU Colorado Colliery, for Ralph is inside bos? at that concern. Ralph made him some evasive whereupou my gentleman took tbe cigar; out of Ralph's mouth and stuck it into bisj own. i The meaning of tbe gentlemen dents now became evident, when the man who called for the treats naked them? to go home. Ilell to your says the leader of tbe residents, when did get a home, you bastard, and what do yout know of the Olivers and Bobby Clark Only, says the young mao, that Clark boards with my mother. His rootlH er was a widow, and he himself drove of the mine teams under bid desire to treat the boss.

Robert was also a boss inside of the mines. This was the very party that should have stayecj sway from such a place as the Rappahant nock hotel at such a time of tbe evening they found themselves to be in a hor nest, and they made the best of the if way off. They got out of the and were passing along the road homewards, not over careful a manner, as will be seen tbe sequel. Robert Clark and Robert Oliver lingered behind tbe others, and were separated froip them by some distance. Thus they pass' tl tbe Devil's Hole, another batch of shantick, whose style of architecture is identical the style of tbe Rappahannock batch clay-plastered shanties.

Tbe railroad led to tbe colliery near which they lived, anvl they took to the railroad on their counA homewards. Passing along a high, steep, rocky embankment, fifty feet high, along vhoee base runs tbe river at a point the embankment is especially preoipitous-f Robert Clark and Robert Oliver were overtaken by three of tbe men they had left if the Rappahannock tavern. They each other, and before Clark was aware if treachery being intended, he was knockui down by a heavy instrument such as On seeing the ruffians altadc Clark, Oliver run off and left hint to thejr mercy. In his flight he did not stay to explaii wbat had happened to Ralph and the others who were with him, as he ran pact them. He muttered something in passing, but wliat he said was not comprehendtjd fully.

Ralph Oliver is unfortunately little deaf; but it ift presumed th. Ralphis two companions, the two Irishmen, understood what Robert Oliver had said. They returned back, and when they git to the spot where the attack had been inads, one of the ruffians was struggling to climJb the embankment, and, as he was near tbe top, be called for a helping hand. they stretched out and assisted the to the level of the railway, not knowing, appears, that the hand they bad graspeil had just committed a dark deed, by striS-1 the death blow of a fellow-creature. Ms soon as this man gained the level of railway, be ran off towards I and one of the young Irishmen suspecting 1 what bad taken place, said pop which meant that Ralph was to shoot hiij, as Ralph was armed with a I Ralph did not yet comprehend the state affairs aud ns they saw nothing else, thiy went forward homewards.

They bad but proceeded a abort when they met young Oliver returning armed with pistols, who stated wbat 1 happened to Clark They turned back ajfain and searched for a time f'A' Clark, but their watch proved to be ttjen unsuccessful. In the meantime tbe wind roared and led among the traea, which swayed backwards and forwards in obedience to impulses, and tho timber crackled in the fitoetv atmoanhere. aa the dark mala sjorm, as tbe mournful searchers, expand ti its fury, sought tho river bank, and Hinged the woods till midnight without folding the missing mao. The hasy anowcrouds floating over the mountain ridges Jcrc becoming paled bv tbe reflection of the sing moon; but its light did not pierce tjiem sufficiently to throw its beams in aid the searchers who were engaged at their dismal occupation. Reinforcements srAved, and these were becoming discouraged the fraitlessness of their search, when so English bull-dog got on the opposite aide tho river, away down tbe stream, and set Vp a bowling.

This attracted attention, on approaching tbe dog, the-body of $ian was seen lying among the leafless fopse, on tbe bank of the river, while the stood by and licked its pale face, bis was found to be Clark, whose clothes Vere frozen stiff on his person, and whose Vice was bound to the ground by his whiskers, that were frozen to tho anow and ice. He was taken to Oliver's boose, where he fevived sufficiently, and reoovered his tenses so for as to give his own version of 'he attack made on him, which is substantially as follows: When be was first attacked, one of tbe Mows struck him on tbe arm, which it Jiroke. He was knocked down, and he renembered being cast over tbe embankment; put as he was facing, he canght one of his Assailant's logs, and dragged him down tbe Embankment along with him. His ceased with the straggle on tbe embankment, during which be was again struck with a heavy The river is deep at this place, and as jplark was found a yards below, on opposite side of the river, be must have floated down and been washed upon flosite shore, and, by using the Strength he bad remaining, gained tbe on the river bank. At tbe bouse of (Jliver where (Jlark was taken, be revived so much as to make (he statement whose substance I have Quoted, but no magistrate was called to take deposition of this, although such deposition would have been sufficient to convict "wii men, one named Barrett, and another named Cardon, both of whom be well.

Robert Oliver seems to have been so in his cowardly flight, that it is doubted lie cannot swear to the ruffians who imade the cowardly attack. I Clark soon became insensible, and died in a few days. What are we to learn from the verdict of 'the jury, which I extract from the Miners' Journal of the-of February, saying that Clark came to his death by injuries inflicted on him Clark was an inoffensive man, and one who never interfered with anyone's affairs; and he has escaped the dangers of the mine to which he has been daily subjected for years to fall by the hands of mnrderers, which term I apply to those who. under the eye of the Eternal Judge, did tbe deed, which Eye will follow tbeir future movements to the very utmost corner of tbe earth; aye, to the brink of the They will wander with the brand of Cain on tbeir foreheads till tbeir red hands are stilled in death. This may be taken as a sample of murder as it is usually slight tbe coal regions.

It is hard to say who of tbe besides those who actually committed the in the vicinity of tin? murder, ready to become participants in the case of need. Murders committed io tbe coal regions have generally been attributed to the miners; but let me add, that these murders are mostly committed on minert, by persons who were not miners, and by those who can never have tbe ability to become such. These mountains offer a refuge to tbe criminal who has escaped from justice in some other pans or in some other country, and in such places as the Kappabannock and tbe Devil's Hole, and many other shanty towns like them, they lind those ready to assist and conceal them in time of Honest, bard-working miners are victims, and not the perpetrators of such deeds and in the vindication of miners in this matter has this paper been written. I hear that the officers, in searohing the shanties in the vicinity of this murder, found casks of whisky in the majority of them. Of coarse they kept this for the use of Law may be alive in the county of Schuylkill; but old Justice is dead.

These murderers, if caught, 1 think will find a way out of Mr. murderers in this county can rote and obtain votes, and Mr. 1 employs murderers and rowdiea for this purpose and Mr. in power as well as in the law help his friends out of severe sc rapes. I am no great stickler for vengeance; hut to prevent the repetition of these crimes, Mr.

Ijaw should be compelled to do justice. In conclusion, I must say that if in these instances I feel sorry for the murdered, I feel more so for the murderers; these are slippmg down a slimy path into ELL. T. II. March A New Monetary System, MiWJBD kKI CIO.

CHAPTER V. The Management of the Hanks and the Effects of their Operations upon the Prosperity of Trade and Productive Industry. If the English government should raise the interest on its debt to four per ceut. the taxes of the producers would he increased in the same proportion. But if it should lower the interest on its debt to one per and compel the bank of England and all bankers to take only one per cent, on the indorsed notes of individuals, and to make no loans on pledges of stocks as security, tbe producing of England would be elevated, and tbeir share of their own surplus products would be increased in proportion to the dimijution of the rate of interest.

The curtailments of bank discounts seem to be made that producers may know and consider tbe great value of money, and tbe comparative worthlessness of the productions of labor. It would seem that the principal wealth of a nation may be dug out of some obsecure place in the earth, collected into a very small compass, and placed in the vaults of banks. It there remains as inactive as it was in the mines before it was excavated. This gold and silver money gives power to the banks, the Board of Brokers and a few large capitalists, to oompel the people to cultivate the earth, and to gather and market its productions mainly for their use, reserving for themselves of the poorer kinds a bare subsistence. Do the formers, mechanics, and the labor ing classes in general, believe that tbe ma jority of the surplus wealth which their labor yearly prodaeee, ought in justice to be owned at the end of the jeer by a few fiaauciers? Does their common sense teach them font a few, for the use of the money necessary to epohaags the commodities produced, ought gam doable, treble or quadruple mash of the surplus prod action ss those who famish the skill and perform the labor te make the production Does it acoord with their smme of justice, that the bankers, broken, and fiaandal stockjobbers ia the city of New York, should realise each roar more dear gain ha wealth than all the agrioaltarisU and machaaica in the State can gain by thair toil! Do our pro duoers sad the public generally really believe that the principal wealth of the nation ia stowed away in the vaults of the banks in oar large cities, and that the prosperity of this great nation ought to depend on the quantity of specie in the vaults of those beaks? the people foam the highest to the lowest do really believe this, wonder thst the Babylonians believed that the golden image set up by Nebuchadnezzar was the true God, and that Daniel-deserved to be cast into the den for his upbelief; for there was in that golden image as much of the life-giving spirit of God.

and ability to provide for the temporal and spiritual necessities of its as there is now in our gold and silver money images to provide for our temporal and spiritual support The law of Babylon which attributed to this image the power of God, and commanded the people to bow down in adoration before it, was hardly a greater imposition upon their credulity end rights than is now practised upon naikms by legally authorizing certain gold and silver images to be set up, and attributing to them an innate value equivalent to that of all other things. Every common sense must toll him, thst the promt distribution of wealth is radically uqjuat. But as similar wrongs have existed in every civilised nation, from the earliest ages, it seems to be taken for granted that there are neoenary other words, that there can be no remedy for them. Yet their coutitmed existence only proves that an etfl cause continuing to act will continually produce its evil effects, and that this cause must be removed before tbe evils will cease. Although the effects produced are exceedingly complicated, these enormous evils of unjust distribution originate in every civilized nation from one and the same fundamental cause, namely, tbe unjust and uncontrolled power of money.

If it be possible to institnte money with only a just power, and that power such as eau be controlled and regulated by national laws, tbe fundamental cause of these evils can be eisily removed. But if it be impossible thus to institute and govern money, the fundamental cause cannot be removed, and the consequent evils are entailed upon us. TO BE I'r n. il Cuts World, for March Views of the Labor Movement HV T. WHAaroa (CONTINUED.) The origin and object of tbe controversy is agreed on by every one.

The dissent is upon what shall be the principle and the method according tp which tbe desired relief shall be gained. Infidelity, under tbe name of socialism, would have it done without God, on grounds of naked natural equity or rational justice. It would act independently of religion, Christian faith and Christian charity. It would pusli the church aside, and presume to finish in another name the work of our Lord Jesus Christ commenced more than eighteen centuries ago. ITence.

unless one prefers to hide his head in the sand, with the vain notion that the immense flood roaring and rising round us does not exist, because he docs not seo or bear it, it is time for him, if be is a Catholic, to consider from the point of. view of his faith what stand be should take, and wbal is his doty toward tbe poor and toward society in tbe crisis tbe struggles of laborers for power in tbe State will soon bring on in this country of universal suffrage. It is not merely a question of giving and distributing alms and assistance that is to be solved, but great problems of social organization and rights are put lie fore us. We must decide (1) what there is in the labor movement that religion approves and encourages; (2) what there is in it religion condemns; and (3) wbat it contains that is merely temporal or indifferent to the church. It certainly has something of each of mese mree elements.

In any way tbe matter is approached it presents a religions as well as a political question to be solved, a religions as well as a political duty to he performed for it involves tbe rights of tbe poor on us, and our duty to them at Christians. What if the demands of the laborers were just, and that, notwithstanding this, we should oppose them What socialism, as a whole, should be opposed, it is admitted that tbe present poor-laws and charitable institutions are insufficient, and some more thorough system of relief must be adopted. The workingmen insist that this shall be done, and for this purpose t'lim to elect those who are to govern the State, and make the laws. Religion cannot neglect to interfere without leaving multitudes of souls of the poor to be seduced into tba naturalism, sensualism, and infidelity tbe socialists purpose as tbe consummation of tbe movement. Nor does the question of our religious duty toward the poor in this crisis cease to demand an answer upon a mere refutation of socialistic theories.

It does not suffice to show Utopias of Baboeuf, Owen, Cabet, St. Simon, Fourier, and Noyes are abominable, but tbe just principle of economic distribution must be found and applied under penalty of eternal anarchy. The negotiation of one medidne as unfit, does not dispense from finding another that will cure, when, indeed, a disease exists and, we take it for granted that no Christian who has heard or read of the successive burdens and hardship? of the poor operatives and peasants of Europe, will say that there is no disease to be cured, or who is heartless enough to abandon tbe case on the ground that it is incurable. Certain it is that tbe hard-working poor will not concede that they suffer no not i cease to demand permanent relief; and if religion ignores, denies, or abandons the sick, they will resort to philosophical quacks, who will lead them to their moral and religious min. Worse; as foreseen by Ilis Holiness Pius they will repent the apostasy of the French revolution, and with the same sacrilegious and despotic spirit, but with more canning and method, proI hibit religion itself.

Their main lever in accompling this will be the labor movement, if they succeed in controlling it. Ilenoe, what tee shall do with it, is a question of vital importance. At the outset the Catholic must give a negative answer to all propositions and for disturbing vested rights or vioently resisting the lawrs, or lawful authority, under pretence of establishing justice This proposition needs no argument to show its wisdom SBd conformity with divine law. Next, tbe Catholic will opposes agrarianism, which is tbe forcihle taking of all property to distribute it in equal portions among tbe people. This is forced eauality, very different thing from associated labor.

Finally, tbe Catholic will also even oppose association whan she would organise corruption and ineligion under tbs guise of philanthropy and fraternity. No doubt these are the features of the! labor movement His Holiness Pirn IX designated under the general title of socialism when, on the 17th of Jane last, in his allocation ta the Cardinals, be said Thus, to day we see on one side revolution, bringing in her train that socialism which repudiates morals and religion and denies Goa bimbJf; while on the other side we behold (be faithful and true, who calmly and Irmly expect that good principles will resume tkeir salutary empire, and that the merciful designs of Deity will be The plain duty of lopping off socialism, and of canting it aside, being performed, there remain (1) reform through just legis lation; (2) legal contracts for mutual relief (3) oo-operation or association of work-fellows; and (4) the realization of perfect Cbrktian charity. We think wo could prove that all the purely secular an co-opera tion, mutuality, and the delusive, and in themselves inadquate; but it not our present purpose to examine this branch of the subject. A volume would not auffioe. It is only necessary to remark, en passant, that there is nothing in the organizations included under the general name of oo-operation contrary to religion but at the same time there is nothing in oo operation that springs from religion; it is a mere economic contrivance.

It is not a religious solution of the problem of sooial distress, and since we have argued that religion must be able to give a temporal ae well as a spiritual answer to the complaints of the poor, we will pass by all minor and transitional questions, and consider only what the csrtMy Utopia of faith and -charity mould be and inquire what method might now be adopted to inaugurate the practical reign of Christian fellowship, in whiok the laborer wonld necessarily reap the reward he is entitled to. is, religion lias also its earthly new Eden, that Will give fuH satisfaction to the over-burdened aud under-paid workman. Let us try to picture it in our imagination, in order to judge from a study of the ideal whether it woul 1 be possible to make it a reality. To do this, we should begin by stating the principles on which this ideal should be founded; and we should also mention such historical facts as may serve to enlighten us on the practical application of those principles. ibe scriptures and the church teach that there are degrees of merit, beginning with that minimum of righteousness sufficient to save us from damnation.

From that point the degrees rise one above the other, till they ascend beyond tbo regions of prohibition and precept to the realms of counsel and perfection. There is the man who is willing to obey God so far to refrain from violating the ten coirnnamlmerU.Then there are these who, besides this, give alms and do other works of mercy for Christ's sake and finally, there are those who, seeking for the Holy Spirit, labor for and do works necessary to attain Excuse this posilinc of doctrines familiar to us all. -t red parts of oar argument. Among the immediate disciples of Christ i there were not oalj shepherds, mechanics, fishermen, physicians, and fanners; but tradesmen, and even lawyers and soldiers. Some were rich, and nevertheless were regarded as having merited heaven.

Zaccbeus is an instance of this class to please God, he gave as ranch as half of his goods to the poor. He went only half-way in perfection. It is clear that if people generally refrained from committing any of the offences mentioned in the ten commandments, justioe would reign, and therefore many social grievances of the worst kind would disappear. True, this would not suffice to give i Urinative happii ness, but it would be the negation of positive moral of mercy are necessary to dry all tears and charity has the genial warmth that makes the smile bloom again on the countenances of those who have wept Now, charity is first pity and sympathy and then it is sacrifice. It hu beautiful demonstrations of love in words and demeanor, but it fully realizes itself in sacrifices and these sacrifices are of every extent.

Soma arc small hut 1 cheerfully offered, as the widow's mite. I Some are proportionately large, as the apportionment Zaccbeus made but some are unlimited, as the triple vow of poverty. chastity, and obedience of the regular clergy. Jesus said to him, if thou wilt he perfect, go, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou ahalt have treasure in heaven: and come, and fellow me. (Matt.

xix. 21.) Blessed are ye (willingly) poor, i for yours is the kingdom of God. (Lake vi. 20 Matt. v.

3.) Where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also (Matt, vi 21.) You cannot serve God and Mammon. (Matt. vi. 24.) He who hath left bouse, for my sake and for the gospel, shall receive a hundred times as much, now in this time; and in' the world to come life everlasting. (Mark x.

29, 30.) Prom tbt.se and numerous similar speeches of our Lord, and from a spirit of gratitude, bis disciples were inspired with the desire of attaining perfection. Those 1 who remained steadfast notwithstanding the crucifixion, or ratherJi ecause of the crucifixion, gathered around the apostles and pronounced the vow of poverty. All they that believed were together, and had all things in common (Acts ii. 44.) This is the first instance of real communism that ever occurred in the world, I and it was the logical product of the teachings of our Lord and his apostles. That it was the logical prodnet, could he easily shown by argument on the language of Scripture but it suffices that it was approved by Peter and the other apostles.

They knew best and, indeed, gave example by becoming membors ot the community That it was the first instance of real communism, we assert without forgetting the Essenes, the Lacedemonians, and the like, from whose systems it is easy to distinguish the apostolic community of goods.
