BRUTAL MURDER IV ROCKLAND COUNTY. An Old Man and Woman Hacke Orangeville. It is seldom the annals of crime Have had to record a deed of such diabolical malignity, and of suck horrible blood-thirsty execution, as the one about to be related as occurring jo a little hamlet of a fow honses called Orangeville, Rockland county, N. Y., on Monday even- ing last. In this case the motive that impelled the mur- derer—for there could only have been one-—did not originate from any of the ordinary sources that incite men to the fearful guilt of homicide. it was no desire for plunder, no maddening instinct of jealousy, no wrong to be redressed, no insult to be avenged; short, nothing that can be called the promptings to the extreme violence of murder. Here was an old couple, named William Holt- meyer and,his wife; the former over seventy years old, the Jatt 'r something less. Born and raised in this S:ate, and residing for forty years in the vicinity of where they met their fatal doom, they were well koown to the people of a great part of Rockland county; a fact well attested by the large and respectable procession that fol- jowed their remains to the grave yesterday afternoon. They bad no children, their means were moderate, their farm a mere atrip of land extending around their dwell- ing for a short distance, but nevertheless they contrived to live contentedly, and even to save a fow hundred dollars, what perbaps to them appearod a fortune of ample proportions, Some years ago the old couple took & little boy to live with them, and here it may be as well to eay that the many rumors in circulation that the murder was committed for plunder, that more than one was envazed it, or that it 4s so wrapt up in mystery that nobody knows where to direct the hand of justice in pursnit of the perpetrator, are believed to be without foundation, 8 spectators have been in the house and have seon the axe with which the bloody deed was commitied, and found undisturbed the bureau where all the earthly treasure of the two old people was deposited, nove of which, it is believed, was stolen, They conclude ‘hat circumstances point to a source whence this criine ema- nated that other facts seem to strengthen. As was gad before the old folks took parental charge of a boy, the orphan of somo neighbor. He was kindly treated and had every reason to be grateful to his aged benefactors. Hoe crew up to man’s ostate, went abroad through the country, occasionally visited the old couple and spent a few days with them. A short time ago, feeling to the necessity of providing some place of shelter for himself through the coming winter, he called on his old rdians and announced his intention of living with them, or rather living on them. Both Mr. and vires, Hoffmeyer’s family protested against this in- trusion, porting out their limited means, and directing his attention to the necesvity of Jearning a means of living for bimself. Perhaps the old lady might have addressed him in rather rude terms, and that he had used her kindness, and in the end, — per- haps, the old gentleman bade him quit tho house and make his appearance there no more. One thing, however, is certain, or rath it has received such general circulation and such general credence that it loses the vague complexion of mere remor, The sup- posed murderer told his victims that they would cer- tainly rogret their action in turning bim adrift. Mr. Hoffmeyer mentioned this threat to a neighbor, but gave it no further consideration. Harmless through life, with a character beyond reproach, and though not quite feoble, yet aged and venerable, the old man could not bring bim- self to fear aught of evil from any human being. Berry, for such dey name of the suspected homicide, Pleces at thought, over his expuision house and, meditated the unfortunately’ been too well Mr. and Mrs Aloffmeyer were alive on Saturday, for the milk boy who called daily to purchase the milk yielded by the solitary cow which the old couple kept, testifies he saw them. He saw them again on Sunday, and perhaps, as it was the Sabbath, be was the ouly one that did see them that day, for they lived very secladed and their dwelling bad no neighborly surroundings. A farmer states that he saw Mr. Hoflmeyer ou Monday, The boy says he went as usual on Monday to get the milk, but finding the door closed he walked away without making any com- ment. On Tuesday he made his appearance, and what struck him more than the shut up dwelling was the bawling of the cow. He overlooked this, also, but on Wednesday morning the bawling of the cow became #0 Joud and incessant that he drew a laboring man’s stten- tion to it, remarking, of course, that the cow was suffer- ing from repletion of milk, They went to the closea up dweiling, forced io the door, and in a corner of the prin- cipal room there lay, side by side in bed, Mr, and Mrs, Hotlmeyer, hacked to pieces, while the done the fearful deed lay with the handle resting the bed, the blade covered with blood. A huge «xe for chopping good, belonging to Mr. Hoffmever, was used by the murderer. Yo confirm the suspicions that it was this young man who perpetrated the murder the fact was pointed out that the axe, which belonged to the old man, it was customary with bim for years to piace outside the entrance to his bedroom, in a corner near the hall door. A stranger intent on murder Would bave brooght his own weapon along. and if, meditating robbery, be only knew the feeble character of those he intended to rob, he bad simply to bid them ‘be still and bis object would be accomplished. Such, at least, are the impressions ootertained concerning the perpetration of the deed by the immediaie neighbors. A reward of $1,000 has been offered for the arrest of the murderer. Ax Isterestixe Trtat at Burrato.—There is now on trial at the Cirouit Im Buffato, before Judge Marviu, an interesting suit in which parties formerig residing in Rochester are deeply concerned It is an action brought by J. 8.

Vote of the same counties in 1867. Republican loss. Democratic gain Increase on the popular vote. Although in Geanga and Cuyanoga there is an apparent increase in the republican vote it is not so in reality, as the same counties polled respzotively in 1864 for Lin- coln 2,986 and 9,987, showing a decided falling off. On the other hand, the largest vote ever polled by the dem- ocrats in those counties was, in Geauga 491 and in Cuya- hoga 5,856, showing an immense increase at the recent elections. The radical majority in these counties last year was 5,393, which was cut down on the 8th to 2,814, or a loss of 2,814. Muskingum and Montgomery counties, which were carried by the radicals last year by 355 majority in the one and 20 in the other, gave demo- cratic majorities of 356 and 634 at the recent election. Gencral Grant in Ohio {From the Pittsburg Commercial (radical), Oct. 16.) ‘The action of the Union men of Columbus, Ohio, in ratifying the nomination of General Grant for the Presi- dency dy the republicans of Maryland is gonerally looked upon as possessing some — significance. Columbus being the home of Mr, Chase, this expression of pre- ference is naturally associated with his well known aspirations for the Presidency, and as naturally regarded as an indication, more or Jess weighty, adverse to him. The information which reaches us from Ohio, through a variety of sources, leads ua to suppose that the Colum- bus action is in accord with the republican sentiment in the State generally, and that the chances of Mr. Chase and Mr. Wade both have been moreret indefinitely by the late election—more especially the result in Olio, Ex. overnor Graham, of North Carolina, on Reconstruction. In a recent letter addressed to a conservative meeting lately held in Raleigh, N. C., ex-Governor Gravam remarks:— Deeply solicitous as 1 am to see the old and constitu- tional relations of the States of the Sout to the Union restored and general harmony re-established, I cannot consent to overthrow the organism of civilized —— in a vain and Quixotic attempt to effect that result. prefer to ask Congress to reconsider the propriety of the course which haa been adopted, and would pray them to remomber that the destruction of a State, which will be the effect of the measures proposed, can never be the means of its restoration; and that to compel her adop. tion of achange in her constitution by striking out a provision which stands conspicuously, as we have seen, in those of other great States of the Union, and which they indignantly refuse to remove, is to alfix a badge of inferiority utterly inconsistent with their ever hereafier being considered an association of equals, ‘The Southern Press ov the Late Elections. [From the Charleston (S C.) Mercury, Oct, 14. With this conclusive support to our efforts to defeat the policy of the radicals to Africanize the South, there capnot be a doubt that every white man in the South who is true to the South ought fn no way to countenance or assist the despotism put over us to make it effective. Lot the whole white race of the South stand apart in those States in which they cannot defeat a convention, and leave it to the negroes and radicais to set up ani their negro governments in the South if they can—perhaps we may say if they dare, They are certain to be overthrown, With the whole while race of the South and a majority of the people of the North against them, their fate is certain; and the fate of those, too, who shall aid in setting up such governments in the South cannot be doubtful. A deattless contempt and scorn will cling to them like the leprosy of Naaman to Gobazi, “upto thee and unto thy seed forever.”” [From the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner, Oct. 15.) The Northern masses who were yesterday subiaiasive to the orders of radi ors as oxen to Che voiwe and their driv 7 in open and furious re- aud in Philadeipbia, in the flerceness of their Joy, the day after the ralical defeat, they parsaed every black who was seen upon the streets with jeerin of “Where's your nigger supremacy now, Cuffee? will thos be seen that deliverance has come to us from the richt direction, and that from being the apparent friend of negro equality, the North i now arraying it- seif in deadly hostility to the dogma, All who are tam\- liar with the ebbs and flows of Northern sentiment Know that the tide ag yot has jast turned, and in less than twelve mouths it’ will sweep with resistless fury, threatening the lives and liberties of the negro race. [From the Columbus (Miss) Index, Oct 12.)

'pradepes on our part, Noisy demonstrations over the results of there eiections can do no good. Let as jul hearis recet i our true policy. The conservative convention which is to moet at Jnckson on the 15th inst. will, we hope, prepare and publish an address to the people of the Northern States, setting forth in a caim and dignified manner the Teasons why we cannot support the reconstruction policy of Congrers. et, a address, prepared in the roper spirit an with urgent appeals to the mag- pr imity and sense of justice of the Northern people, will not, we feel assured, be in vain. In that address the assertion that the opposition to the reconstruction policy of Congress ig the result of «isloyaity should be thoroughly exposed. Most of the men in the South who secarsion are now oppored to the military bill, while moat of the prominent leaders of the seces- sion party are in favor of it, [fom the Charlotteviile (Va) Chroniclomhitherto con- nervative. } are a trumpet call to the white to rally to the polis on Tacsday next and the Sherman-Shoilabarger bill.

Woodbury, Mark Googins aud Calvia W. Torrey, with the chairman added, were chosen to confer with any other orgauization in reference to future action. The Mobile Times refers to the next co jon in Alabama as “a forthcoming tragedy.”’ It gives, also the following cheerful view of the probable results of the labora of the body:—-‘No sane man can doubt that the Constitution soon to be adopted for this State will bee Monstrous anomaly, blending the wildest notions of Aemagogism with the base veugeance of beings driven to mad fury by the universal contempt thoy inspire, Jadge Woodward's (dem.) majority for Congress from the Pivefth Pennsyivania district is reporied to be less than titree bundred.

In the district court of the parish of St, Charies, La, Judge R, Beauvais presiding, agrand jury of sixteen citizens, all colored, was recently drawa and sworn in and received the usual charge from the judge, time in our lives we, the people of Columbia, yesterday saw seated in a jury box a colored man, he having been chosen under the recent jury order of General Canby. Christopher Raynesworth is his name, and he is well Known among our citizens as one of the most industri- ous and intelligent of his race in Columbia He is a barber by trade,” The Savannah News thinks verdicts found by this jary will not, under the laws of Georgia, stand good. The Mobile Times starts something new by speaking of General Pope, the great enemy of reconstruction, and “Colonel Swayne, the intriguer for his father’s pro- motion to the Chief Judgeship of the United Btates.”” ‘The Columbia (S. C.) Chronicle says that South Caro Nina has been bankrupted by the bayonet—not a dollar in tho Treasury; and General Canby has ordered the collection of all taxes to be stopped, except so far as Telates to taxes due to the federal government, At a democratic jollification in Hamiton, Butler county, Obio, on Saturday last, C. L Vallandigham was declared the choice of the meeting as the successor of Ben Wade in the United States senate, Vallandigham was present and delivered a lengthy and characteristic speech. The New Haven Journal (republican) accepts the thrashing its party receives as ‘useful chastisements,”’ It scolds the republican leaders, and says:— Samper announces the right of Congress to force negro suffrage on Connecticut, Butler raises the banner of repudiation, Wade endorses woman's rights, and Ashley indiscreetly clamors for impeachment. They co wrong to the party, which is not responsible tor their opinions, and it 1s desirable that they should understand by a popular verdict that they cannot use their party for their private purposes. The reverses of this fall will purge our party of some of its obnoxious stuff. The Congressional Sub-Committeo oa Elections, of which Mr, Scofield, of Pennsylvania, is chairman, to inquire into the loyalty of the Congressmen-elect from Kentucky, arrived at Lexington and commenced taking - testimony on Saturday morning.

[From the Anti-Siavery Standard.) Hardly any sick man gets weil without having, now and then, what the nurse calls « pull-back. The smeri- can people, rapidly getting over its long disease, has Just bad a poll-back, There's no reason to bo discou- Taged. The cure will goon, We pointed out in a recent article how inconsistent and absurd it was to suppose that a few battles had converted the whole American people into abolitionists. The tate elections are a com- ment on that text. Brought squarely to the test, Obio cannot yet be just on her own soil. That same population would see the necessity of giving to the South Carolina negro the ballot. Without that they know the Union would not be safe. Selfish. mess dictates justice in the reconstruction of the South; but the sense of justice is not keen enough to protect the negro at home—so Ohio rejects her equal suffrage ndment. Pennsylvania, always for sale and in the market, has been snapped up by an eager purchaser in the ng party. Some critics msist that these changes are owing to temperance movements in one place, financial soroness in another, and mistaken nominations ina third, All these causes doubtless were acting; but the primary and most efficient cause is that the leaders of the dominant party—the people's teach- ers—ha ver taught their followers one si! of justice, From Mr. Lin: speaker, the ye and the argum ma, ‘Do thus much to save the party. Dole out this and this meagure of justice, not for ite own sake, but because we must. The party noetis it.’ A people drugged with such opiates, the moment the burden of the war and the weight of danger is takea off, springs back to its old race hatred, Hence the easy victory of the rebels in Onto and Pennsylvania. While a large portion of the people has been ready for any measure of justice, and would have followed Lincoln to any height of natioual bonor, avother portion, poisoned by his infid principle, bas remained in just that equivoca! mind that left them an oasy prey to the Pendietons and the Vailandizhams, Wade reaps to-dav the harvest of that party atheism which be has sometimes counten- anced, and which his later general fidelity bas not sufiiced to neutralize. Whxt shallwedo? Press bravely on. Impeach the traitor of the White House. Men with white lips, who fancy themselves statesmen, cry “Ob, no; that will create sympathy for him and wreck the party.”’ Utter want of self-respect has wrecked the party, nothing else, To bear blows unresist- tngiy may be clear duty for an individual; it is death to «party. The nation hae on and seen Jonson insult and defy Congress. Men eonclude ‘that Congress is either too stupid to understand or too animous to resent the insult, The panacea that Senators and Governors propose now is that we go on and invite more Presidential insult, in hope that so the people will pity Congress and hate Johnson. It is a fatal policy. Such pity passes goon into contempt. The old ‘whig party marched to its grave in the fond conceit that its patience would win sympathy, It found too late that the masses distrusted its foes, but despised a whig. Nothing bat daring, courage, gallantry will win back popular sympathy.
