Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, BUTLER SPECULATES IN SOUTHERN BTATE BONDS. ‘WaaigixaTo, Sopt, 7.—8pooulations rogarding the motive or objoct of Gon. Butler's lotter, moking inquirics of the authoritics in Misslssippi 08 to the number, oharacter, otc., of the bonds of that State, have beon indulged in various quarters, and tho conclusion arrived at, which soems to based on careful invostigation, i that Butler and some of his friends and followers {)ur&me buying up at their present low prices ho bonds and othier securitios of hflaslsslpgi 88 an ostensible 'pront of confidenco in tho ability of the Btato to pay its indebtedness. One of the objacts In buying up tho socuritios s said tobo to assist Gen. Amos, Butler's son-in-lnw, in his oontost for the Governorship of Miss- issippl. In mddition to the equally or moro im- ortant ?urfifne of enabling the parties in- orosted in the schomo to mako large sums of money, it is alleged that Butler is ono of the mombers of Congress who favor the assumption Ly tho Fedoral Government of the debts of the Southern Btates, and that ho has propared o bill for presontation in Congre:‘:h px%nfialng such egsumption. Even if should not receive the eorlous attontion of Congress, tho nctunl prosontation to that body of a measure of tho kind is oxpected to bavo suflicient effeot to produce an increase in the price of the bonds and enuble these npoou- 1ators to sell out at profit. THE PHESIDENT I expocted to chaugo his purpose of remaining at Long DBranch during thik month, Whothor ho will come here and settle down for the win- tor sooner than about the 1st of October, na was announcad by official bulietin o fow days ago, Is ot known, but, na thoseason at the Branch sooms to have virtually olosed, he will probably seek rooroation in the intorior during fhe remainder of this mouth, and possibly he will make his much-talked-of visit to Virginia. A prominout officlal, who nrrived here to-day from Long Branob, says many of tho visitors have already loft thore, and the romaindor are mtklgg Propa- rations to loavo as soon as poselblo, Tho indi- catlons woro that most, if not all, the hotols snd cottages would bo dosorted, and probably closed within about a weok. Tho hotols at Oapoe May were to have closed yosterdsy, and the vialtors from this olty at that rosort will re- turn in tho courso of a _fow days, Altogethor It sooms quite likely that the cooluuss of the weathor and consequonl carly closo of tho soson ot watoring-places and tho senslde rasorts will fall to the benofit of this oity, and that business will bo rogularly rosumod in b short timo with most of the houds of do- partmonts sud chiefs of burcaus ab thelr of- con, horo TILE TIOHNORNE OASE. Interest in tho ‘Tichborne case, which is now pending in the court m London, scems to have rovived recently, especially in somo of the nows- papera in this country, which i probably attrib- utable in part to tho knowlodge of the fact that coungel oa both sldeshayobeendiligently atwork | had a busiuess through tho. - fnwelry of Miss Hamill are still missing, 1 in this country gathering ovidence of ovon ro- moto bonring upon the case, Thu rocords of tho Troasury D(mmmunt have boon soarohed, and [t is found that théra wero two Amorican voseols mamed ** Osproy "' or *‘ Ospray ¥ in ox- istonce in 1854, but no ovidenco indicating that eithor of thom wero at Molbourno, Australia, during that year, or previous thotato, has yob boon proourod, 't will bo romembored_that tho individual who claims to bo Bir Roger Tichborno nssortod that he was taken from a wrook ond carried to BMolbourns in 1854 by an Amorlcan vossol called the Osproy, As to tho existonco of such & veasol no - satisfactory roof waa adduced at tho original trial of the g‘iouhornn cago about two years ago.

Roturns will be kopt at evory poat-oflico in the Union during ono weck in each quartor, of the number of lottors, otc., dolivored during that weok.

Two Millions of Bogus Bonds on the Market—k¥arbor Coflision nund Kous of Lifo—Xorrible Particulars of the Slamill Murdor Casc at Willinmse burgh—Miscollancous Xtems, New Yonx, Bept. 7.—Detactive Sampson says that tho amount of bogus bonds which tho for- f‘um oxpocted to negotiate in this couutry and ’nrxgu was $2,000,000, and that $1,000,000 aro already on the markoet ‘here. Twoof tho gang, it is snid, left for Europe_some time sinco, with o large amount of forged bonds, which are re- E’mfl to have nlready beon disposed of in tho nglh!h market. Tug-bont Vixen, Capt, Daniol Perkins, was run into by the steambost Granite Stato in Holl Gato at 1 o'clock thia momini’ and out in two. Capt. Perkins was drowned. Tho oogincor was picked up by another boat and lande: Was found to be soriously injured. The facts developed in tho Willinmeburg mur-~ der caso nppear to bo as follows: Miss Hamill, whose charred romnins wero found with a cord around the nock, was & most intimate friond of Mrs, Morrigan who, it ia belleved, murdered her for the sake of hor monoy and jewolry. Mise Hamill and Mra. Merrigan wera schoolmates in tho Ursulino Convent at Morrlennis, New York, and wero Insul)mbla companions. Tholr intimacy continuod after they left the con- vont, and Miss Hauill was o constant visitor at the liouso of Mr. Morrigan, and on thess occa~ sions alwaya took somo valuablo token as o gift to her friond. On lust Tuesday afternoon Miss Hamill appoared at the door of Mrs. Moerrigan's house, and asked ndmittanco. Bhe was dressed in n black silk, woro & handsomo pair of dinmond oorrings, with s brooch and massive ohatelaine gold chain, 8he was sdmitted, and paseed up- 6tairs to Mra. Morrigan's apartments, and when he from that hour the unfortunato young Indy wos never soen until her ola- red and mutilated romains were found omid the wrack of the half burned house. James Homill, one of the brothors of the murdered woman, eaid that his sistor was in afluent oir- cumslauces ; was owner of o large numbor of housos in Enet Tenth street, Now York, and always had a large amount of money in Lier pos- session. Her incomefromtheso housen is stated to be about £3,000 a month. Her rents wero oncrally collacted on the firat of the month, iual Tuesday was the scoond of the month, It is not at oll unlikely that Miss Humill bod & Iargo sum of monoy in her purse whol assailed by violent hands. Tho gold watch, clmzL ":m ato last ovening Mra, Merrigan madg o full confos- sion. Tho police refused to %l’vu theroportersauy information in regard to it, but it was ascertain- od that she srid she murdered Miss Hamill on El\msd%night, ‘:Ii atrangling her with s clothes lino. is sho did in the absenco of her hus- band, and lnarlnxi,lhnt he would return in time to find tho dead body, stowed it away botwoen tho bed-tick and tho slate. When Merrigan ro~ turned homs that night ehe iuduced him to ro- main ont of the room, and on Thuredsy night, for the purposo of destroying tho evidencoof her guilt, slio sot fire to tho placo. Miss Hamill, aftor comploting her education, took tho veil and was known ag Blstor Augusts. At the expiration of four years she wns in some way released from her vows. On Monday she had received a lettor from a BSister Augueta bo- longing to some order in_Pitteburgh containing & souvenir, and invitiog hor to go out thoro on & visit. When she left the house on’ Tuocsday she romarked that sho was going to Tenth stroct to collect some rents, and would then proceod to Pittsburgh. Yt is prosumed sho wont to bid her friend Mra. Morrigan good-byo beforo starting for the West. The husband of Mra, Morrigan is belioved to be guiltloys, The now Roman Catholio Parochial Bchool was dodicated to-day. Tho Rey.
