Shortly at- terwards Mrs. Fisk, his wife, and Mr. Morse, his father-in-law, arrived and went to the bedside © the sufferer.

Rathan and Burdell Tragedies Paralleled Baltimore was shocked early on Saturday night, by one of the most horrible and mysterious murders ever perpetrated in the United States, and one that will stand in the annals of erime with the Burdell and Nathan murders in New York. The Gazette of th lowing particulars of the affaii yman Cole, aged about seventy-one years, after taking supper with his taunily at his residence, No. 102 le North Exeter street, lett and went to his office, at No.86of the same street shortly aft r six o’clock p.m. on Saturday. He was the owner of a num- ber of small houses in that neighborhood, oc- cupied chiefly by negroes, and it was his habit to require them to pay their rent weekly. ‘* He went to his office for te purpose of meet- ing his tenants, and as it was usually kept closed no one suspected anything wrong. About seven o'clock two men were seen to leave the office and close the door after them, but that was usval on Saturday evening and excited no atten- tion, nor was it even noticed whether they were black or white men. About a quarter-past 7 o'clock, two little girls went to the office, as sup- posed for the purpose of delivering some money to the doctor, and when they entered noticed that he was lying on the floor, (hou sh there was no light in the office. They immediately ran to the house of Dr. Cole, and informed his daugh- ter of what they had’ seen, and she ran to the offi As soon as she entered and ptaced her hand upon the tody she discovered that he had bern murdered, and was covered with blood. Her shrieks in a few moments attracted a num- ber of persous, among whom were Drs. Broad- bent and Yeates. A light was procured, when A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE was presented. It was evident that Dr. Cole had been sitting at atable which stood imme- diately under the front window, and his account bcok and some gee were on the table. The body lay partially under the table, with the head near the wall, on some old papers. The doctors made an examination of the body, and con- cluded that he had been dead almost half an hour. The entire head and face were horribly mutilated. The hs ‘Ww was fractured just under the nose. and the jaw crushed just below the leftcye. The left orbit was also fractured, d there was large incised wound over the left eye, and the right panetal was crushed in. On the back part of the head was a severe con- tused wound, a little to the right of the occipi- tal, and there were four distinct wounds behind the right ear, one of which cut entirely through the ear. In all there were nine contused ani four incised wounds. When found he was lying on bis back, and around his head there was a large pool ot blood, but none was found else- where in the room. Dr. Spencer, assisted by Dr. Yeates, maile a st mortem examination, and discovered the racture above spoken of. It was discovered in the examination of the body that the left pocket of the pantaloonsot the deceased was torn en- tirely out, and only bung by asmall piece of the cloth. HIS POCKET-2OOK WAS GONE, but it is supposed that it did not contain much money, as Dr. Cole was in the habit of carrying money in all his pockets. When the body was removed from the porit on in which it was found, five dollars in fractional currency and five one dollar potes were fourd under it, and twenty- five dollars were found im a bag in the insi breast-pocket of his cout. On the tabie where he evidently was sitting when be re blow, was his account kV pt on it, and on the ceipt, drawn in favor of x man named Hender- ton. With what sort of instrument he was mar- dered no one can tell, though the only single one that is likely to cause both contused and {nci-ed wounds ix a ham: such as is used for breaking the shells of oysters preparatory to opening em.

This Afternoon’s Proceedings, pari tad Sain Morpay, January 8. MR. SCHURZ RIESS TO EXPLAIN. SENATE.—Mr. Schurz rose to a personal ex- planation, remarking that it was the drst tim that he had an opportunity to reply to certain statements made in the New York Times, and which had been copied itf various other paper~ of the country. He then sent to the desk to b read an editorial from the Times of Decembe: ist last. Mr. Schurz said the paper publishing this ar- ticle was reported to be the special metropolitan organ of the administratien, and this was one o: the series of concerted attacks announced as to be made upon certain Senators. He would take up the statements in detail. It was true that u had declined in 1857 the nomination for Lic nant Governor of Winconsin; but he had taken an active part in the canvass for the republican nominees. He then pronounced as falsehood- the other statements made in the Times,and said its article was one of the most remarkaile cases ef cumulative, intrepid and shameless lying that ever disgraced American journalism. The ad was most unfortunate in its selec- ans, and these systematic attacks made on independent Senators could only con- vince the pubile that the charges which they had made were well founded. Mr. Sumner presented MEMORIALS FROM COLORED CITIZENS in various parts of the country, including the preamble and resolutions passed at the meeting of colored citizens at the Congregational Church in Washington, on Jan. Sth, urging edy passage of his supplementary civil rights bill. Lad upon the table.
