He was arrested under the Extradition Treaty ‘with the United States on motion of Mr. Nunn, the American Vice Consul Generai: At the examina- tion of the accused the representative of the United .

New ORLEANS, Nov. 4, 1872, In accordance with the anticipation of the people in general, the election has passed off in the most orderly manner to-day, notwithstanding the presence of Uuited States troops at various points in the State where it was al- leged there would be disturbances, As usual there was a@ great deal of half- smothered indignation in reference to these visit- ors, and the so-called “outrage” of sending the sol- diers at this time, without any apparent necessity existing for the measure, caused some criticism by no means flattering to Uncle Sam, A very heavy vote has been polled The liberals have carried this city by a consider- able majority, estimated at from seven to eight thousand. Kellogg, the republican candidate for Governor, runs a little ahead of his ticket, but the indications are that the liberals have swept the State by a handsome majority, and that John F. McEvery and Davidson B. Penn, the liberal candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, are accordingly elected over the heads of their opponents. Uwing to the in- creased vote and the complications of ballots in consequence of the recent political émeute in this State, there will be considerable delay in the counting of the vote, which will prevent my “National Monetary Effort for Complete Redemp- tion from the Prussian Bond—Gen- eral Ducrot’s Position.

Greeley Supposed to Have Carried the State by 18,000—Immense Liberal Ma- jority in New Orleans and the Prov- inces—Sypher Defeated for Congress in the First District. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 4—Midnight. | The baliot boxes have all been carried to the State House, where the counting is now going on in a slow and tedious manner. It will take twenty- four hours to count the vote entire. The latest and most careful estimates show that the liberal ticket has swept the city by about eleven thousand ma- jority. Advices from the parishes exhibit a corres- ponding liberal gain throughout the State. Greeley’s majority will probably reach 25,000 or. 18,000 in the State. Advices so far received indicate a much heavier negro vote in his favor than was anticipated. The liberals elect the entire State and parisi ticket, and gain one Congressman in the place of J.

It is mo feeling of rage, but one of deep sorrow and horror.

The demoralization for some time past existing among the medical. stat, nurses and attendants connected with the Lunatic Asylum on- Ward's Island reached its culmination yesterday in the resignation of nearly all the physicians and other attachés of the institution. The alleged cause is the action of Dr. Echeverria, the medical director, who instigated the recent investigations into the management of the insti- tutions on the island. This action on the part of Dr. Echeverria led him to cause the arreat late on Saturday night of an attendant named Thomas Galvin. Galvin on Sat- urday was @ witness at the inguest in the case of Lewis C. Samue's, a patient w! death was al- leged to have been caused by the ill-treatment of another nurse, named James McDonnell. At tl close of the investigation Gatvin, it is alleged, got gloriously drunk, and ut a late houron Saturday night returned to the asylum and gave @ fellow nurse, named Edward Robason, a severe beating on account of an old grudge. Dr, Echeverria was informed of the affray, and caused Galvin’s arrest. The prisoner was yesterday arraigned before Jus- tice McQuade, at the Harlem Police Court, on a complaint preferred by Dr. Echeverria. The suf. ferer from the assault, Robason, was not presgnt. Dr, James )). Latferty, one‘of the medical staff, tes- tifled that he had atiended Robason, and that his injuries were very slight and did not prevent his appearance at Court. An officer was despatched to the island to verify Dr. Lafferty’s testimony. returned with a note from Robason stating that he had no desire to press the complaint. Judge McQuade, though believing the assault to be trivial and the compiaint frivolous, concluded to take no Loans in the quarrel, and therefore held Gal- vin in the sum of $1,000 bail to answer. The pris- oner promptly furnished sureties for the amount and was released, THE METHODIST PREACHERS.

It is stated that ke once made improper advances to the young girl, who indignantly repelled them, and acquainted her Mother with the circumstances. At that time te apparently turned over a new leaf, and treated his niece with much consideration, The sequel proves that he then commenced to lay his plans for the ruin of the girl. His first move was to set snares for birds in the woods above mentioned. He afterwards talked considerably about his traps, and explained how nicely he caught the handsome birds. This naturally awakened the girl’s curiosity, and she asked that she might go with him and see them. At first he refused to take her with him, but, after haying greatly wrought up her eagerness to see them, he finally took her with him one day to the woods, She enjoyed the trip and went a number of times afterward. At length she commenced to tire of going there, and Evans then matured the plan for his fiendish work, One week ago last Thursday evening, the night before the day of tho murder, Evans told Georgie that he was going away to work the next morning, ana that she must look after the snare. She hesitated about complying with his request; but upon his urging she consented to it, but said that she was tired of going to them, THE DAY OF THE MURDER, The next day (Friday) was one of the loveliest of the Fall. Evans appeared as usual when he took his breakfast and then immediately went out, say- ing that he was going to his Gay’s work, Georgie was up bright and early, After her mealshe as- sisted in domestic duties. It was then nine o'clock, and she put on her hat and shawl to go and look after the snares. Her grand- mother had noticed that ste looked unusually sober that morning, and made a remark to that effect as she was leaving the room. The girl then observed that she had promised her uncle to look aiter the snares, but that she should not do it again, for the woods were rough and lonely to her, ‘Georgie then kissed Mrs. Day atfectionatcly, and, tripping across the road, soon disappeared among tie rocks in the pasture. No person except her murderer is sup- posed to have seen her alive after that time. EVANS! WHEREABOUTS, It is proved that Evans did not gé away to any place to work that morning. Soon after Georgie left le was secn ona hill about a mile distant toward the village, and which commanded a view oi the house and pasture. He probably went thero directly after leaving Mr. Day's in the morning, and concealed himself in order to observe when the girl left her home. At hal-past nine, which it will be borne inmind was halt an hour after the girl went out, and which would have given her time to have reached the woods, Evans was seen to come down the hill, cross the road and pasture, and go into the same woods where the girl had gone. ALARM AT GEORGIR'S ABSENCE. Previously, when the girl went to look at snares, she was usually absent from half to three-quarters ofan hour.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD, The body of an unknown man was discovered on the track of the Flushing and North Side Railroad, near Woodside, yesterday morning. He Is sup- * posed to have been slightly intoxicated and to have got off the cars at Woodside by mistake, as he started down the track towards New York. He appeared to be about thirty-five years old, five feet two inches high, stout build, black hair, heavy black whiskers, dark complexion; white, low: crowned wool hat, wore galters, gray trousers, dark coat and vest, two knit shirts and white shirt, blue and green scarf, with breastpin attached. pocketbook containing $3 75 was found in his trou- sers pocket.

His voice being somewtas feeble he surmised that she did not heir him. ome he rogumed his walk, calling out at intervals for the absent one, but there was no reply. Keeping the way he at last got iairly within the Woods, Then he felt very sure. that he should discover the missing one, and so he called her name quite loudly thrice, and in vain he awaited an answer, Then he thought that Georgie had probably heard him and hidden behind some of the trees, so that she mignt suddenly come out and give him a playful surprise. But bis was.a sad delusion, for as near as can be ascertained, Evans had then consummated his terrible crime and was dragging the lifeless body of his victim through the wamp to the secret hiding place. Mr. Day then returned, hoping to learn that Georgie had gone home by some other path, and would be ‘awaiting him. NEIGHBORS ASSIST IN THE SEARCH. Wien Mr. Day arrived.home Mrs. Lovering was somewhat alarmed, for she, too, had seen nothin; of the girl. Then Mr. Day and the mother returne: to the wood, and soon Mrs. Lovering found on the ground the apron of her daughter. This aroused suspicion, and, an alarm being given, tho immedi- ate neighbors joined in a more thorough search, Early in the afternoon James Pender, in crossing : bene fence about half a mile from the entrance, foun to the village, and as sic nad t! an hour she. iooked for with fd ae A BROKEN COMB that was at once recognized as belonging to. the absent girl. There was some hair in the comb, and not -far distant a strong string was found. This discovery struck the company with horror, for then there were indeed evidences that the gn had been foully dealt with, Word was instantly sent to the village that Georgie Love’ was missing, and there were fears that she had been murdered. If a bolt had dropped from the clear sky above the citizens could not have been more amazed. A chord of sympathy was struck in every heart, and more than a hnndred persons went at once to assist in the work. Soon, near the spot where the apron was found, there were discovered plain evidences of astruggie. The earth was stirred up and leaves were misplaced. Further along there were large and small tracks, ag though one person had dragged another along. The conviction was now general that THE GIRL. HAD BEEN MURDERED. After Evans went into the woods in the forenoon he was not seen again until noon, when he mopees body at E. C. Dow’s, some two miles from where the of the girl was subsequently found. He remained @ few moments at Mr. Dow’s, and inquired the time of day. He then went a mile further to Rufus Roberts’, but made no particular errand there. Then he started toward home by the way of the “Narrows” viliage, calling at Mr. Trickey’s store, where he purchased some pork and butter. Next he stopped at Mr. Witham’s. From there he went home through some woods. None of the people with ‘whom ‘he conversed noticed anything unusual in his appear- ance. On Friday evening Mr. John G. Mead, a mer- chant at the vill » Who usually transacted Mrs. Lovering’s pension business, went to the house and had a conversation with Evans, and questioned bim concerning the missing girl. HE EMPHATICALLY ASSERTED HIS INNOCENCE, and did not show the least trace of any anxiety. Mr, Mead was not convinced of the man’s inuocence, and he took the precaution to have him secreuy guarded until further action was taken. During Saturday he made no attempt at escape. In the meantime @ warrant was Issued charging Evass with wilful murder. This was given into the hands of Sherif! Henty A. Drew, of Strafford, who went to Mr. Day’s on parereey evening. Before serving the paper he talked with Evans regardin, the missing girl, and Evans denied any knowledge ot her whereabouts, and said that he was as Innocent ering by Franklin B.

On Tuesday night the search was abandoned for a time, jor reasons which will appear. RVANS DECEIVES THE OFFICERS, On Tuesday afternoon the sheriff told Evans that if the girl was alive and he would tell where was, ho harm should be done him by the 5 Jectmen or any! else. Evans then said that the girl was alive. stated that he agreed wjth ® man to help get her away. He had met the man some days before near Captain Buasill’s, in Straf- and = had romiged to take her where the be ng, between the and eleven on Friday.

Under this conviction he resolved to confront Evans, and solemnly gut the question to him concerning her whereabouts tfliving, and the dispusition of the body it dead. Last Friday night, the evening referred to, after all other members of the family had retired, Mr. Drew resolved to have his conversation with the prisoner, He commenced by asking Evans if he remembered the talk that he had with him betore his arrest concerning the goodness of the girl and the evidence that had been fouily dealt with by the finding of her apron and her broken comb containing some of her Mair. Evans answered that he did. Drew then asked him what effect such Conversation had upon him, He rephed, “iv WENT LIKE A DAGGER TO MY HEART. ‘Then the Sheriff fastened his eyes upon the pri- soner and said:—‘In the hearing of no persons but us two and the Great Being above, | ask youth is a oe the body of the girl cold in death?” he eyes of the two men _ were fastened on each other. Neither made the slightest movement, and not a sound was heard except the measured tick of the clock and perhaps their own partially suppressed breathing. For some seconds it seemed doubtful who would relax first. But Evans, evidently becoming unnerved under the calm, searching gaze of the oMver, suddenly turned poe his hands trembled, and from his quivering lips came the words, “i 18, MR, DREW; I HAVE DONE WRONG.’? With the same calmness he iad maintained from the beginning the Sheriff said, “Go with me and show me where she is.” Evans said, “I will.’ ‘Thus the officer got the mastery over the prisoner, and wrung the dee bitter and wicked secret from his heart. Kvans now seemed power- less, He asked if the Selectmen would show him rotection. The officer told him they would do anything they had spree to, In his confusion Evans was undoubtedly thinking of the promise the Seleetmen had made to protect him in case he would find the girl alive or prove that she had been taken away alive. Prepara- tions were now made to ts and find the body. Mr. Drew went to his wife’s bedroom privately and told her that he was to leave with Evans on a most solemn duty and he wished her to dress herselt and go to Alonzo Tuttlo’s, a near neighbor, and ad that he desired him to get EK. J. Parshley and bot fe to Mr, Ham's and wait there in darkness. If they heard a call from the swamp they must promptly follow the sound, nearest neighbor to Mr. Day. It was then eleven t. M., and Mr. Drew lived some three miles or more from the home of the murdered girl, THE MIDNIGHT JOURNEY, The Suara, gnd prisoner started at: once with a team for the wood where the girl was last seen, and Yeached there about midnight. Then, leaving the carriage, the Sheriff took his lantern and told Evans to lead the way. They were soon in the forest, and a more dismal night’s journey cannot easily be imagined. The darkness was intense, find “as they went along nothing was audible save the rustling of the leaves’ under their feet and the wind moaning dismally boc el the trees. They passed the spot where the apron was found, and got over the fence where the broken comb was discovered, but not a word cacaped the lips of either man. Then they entered the swamp where stones, fullen trees and treacherous bog-holes made locomotion very difil- cult. They often went into the mud, and both of thera fell several times, Suddenly Kvans stopped and seemed bewildered; said he had lost the trail and must go back to the fence and start again. Conflicting thoughts then came into the Sheriff's mind, but he did not waver for a moment. He motioned with the lantern, and both wen’ over the tollsome way to the brush“... nack looked around carefully, and raihcasr et Evans word again started ine ‘wo awampe Gees they were threading thelp way thr: he ‘ough the dimicult ne we pa is or mr rergevnrire rae ws wuaut OCLOTE, length, wet a ru they reached a bleaker spot than tl haa og d at seen. was a hollow, filled with rocks, fallen trees and other débris. One very large tree had fallen, and its roots were so embedded in thé soil that they tore up the earth for a considerable space, i * THE BODY IS FOUND, —*' Close to the ground, under this shelving mass of fibres and earth, Evans pointed his finger and sald, “There.” The Sherif suid, “ What? risoner answered ko oar “There!’’ Then Evans, half kneel- ing, stooped, and carefully scraping away some leaves, disclosed something white, and again said “There!” The Sheriff then laid his hand upon the object anc saw that it was the body of the poor murdered girl. EVANS IS HANDCUFFED. When the Sheriif touched the body the prisoner said, with perfect composure, “That's she.” Mr. Drew. then pulled a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and said, “4 k, stand still.” Evans cried out “Don’t put them on.) But it did not avail, and in @ moment he was in irons. Then the risoner fell on his knees and said, “Mr. Drew, I ve but one favor that I implore of you, which ‘is that you will SHOOT ME DEAD ON THE sroT.” The simple reply was, “You will not be harmed.” Then Mr. Drew shouted for assistance, and after he had called the third time Tuttle answered and with Parshley repaired to the spot as soon as he could t there. The former was left with Evans while r. Drew and thelatter went for the authorities and a surgeon. 5 RETURN OF THE OFFICIALS. It was some two hours before the party returned, which consisted of the two who went lor assist- ance, together with George T. Sherburne and Ezra Tasker, two of the Selectmen, John G. Mead, £sq., a Justice of the Peace, and Doctor Hanson. Then the party all gathered round the remains of the murdered girl. It was a solemn scene, ren- dered more so if possible by the weirdness of the place, and the darkness, through which flickered it of the lantorn. Altuncovered their heads as the surgeon, under the direction of the authorities, lifted the body from its resting Place. The face wore a calm and pleasant expres- sion, and showed only two very slight abrasions. The neck bore plainly the Ca 1 fingers, show- ing that she was undoubt trangled. Her dress and skirts were in a bunch around her neck, and, dreadful as it may seem, the body was prob- ably draj through the swamp. Then portions of the clothing were removed by the surgeon, and @ spectacle was presented that sickened the stoutest heart present. Every person turned pale, and there was NOT A DRY EYE IN THE COMPANY. Evans himself gave @ shriek of anguish that rang out clear and frightful through the wild woods. it was found that the inhuman flend had not only stran, his victim, but with some sharp instru- ment horribly mutilated portions of the body. It was @ ghastly scene that those who saw will | never forget. The clot! ig Mr. Ham was the = ps THE BODY REMOVED, was carefully replaced, and extem- porizing a rude litter, the party started irom the swamp. It was impossible ior them to make rae ag meg of the forest, and it was half-past tour when they reached the hall over Mr. Mead’s store, where the inquest was tu be held. The Sheriff and remained near the house of Mr. ~ The prisoner was asked to point out where a portion of the body had been concealed. He hesitated at first, but as he looked into the determined face of the officer he knew Well the best course to pursue. He said he would gu to the spot. Accompanied by Mr. Drew he went directly to Sherburne’s mill, perhaps a mile distant, and lifting @ rock the missing re- mains were found. TH EFFECT OF THE NEWS.

Evans made no resistance, and was taken to the Sheriff's houso in Strafford, eee aa he was ai ied before Justice Ira B. Holtt and bound over to the Supreme Judicial Court.

Miss Lovering, the unfortunate victim, was born in Northwood, and was in the fourteenth year o# her age. Her father was a soldier in the Eight + Rew Hampshire regiment in the rebellion war, re-, turnings home from service sick, and dying soon’ afterwars, The family had been located at their present piace two years, Their mean are quite limited, consisting mainly of @ government pension and the income from the Mother's labor. Georgiana was an only child, and was the idol of her mother, the pride of het grandparents, ana the beloved companion of her cousin. She was a bright, pretty and affectionate Her form was wei developed,. her hair and, eyes dark, and her countenance beamed with’ yoann life and = buayancy. she was, te? Futh, the snlight of the "household. Note withstanding the slender income of ti family, the mother took pride in drvssing’, Georgie’ tastefully and in sending Wer to nenoees Her teachers: bear ample testimony ta her excels lent scholarship; Outside of het.nome the gtri was, a favorite with the neighbors, and wher she went to the village on domestic commissions no young miss had more kind “and pleasant salutations thaw Georgie Lovering; and when she was taken away by a terrible dea it was not strange twat the mother was nearly insane and the aged members of the family bowed down with a grie! such as they had never before experienced. THE MURDERER, EVANS, is & native of Strafford, sixty-iour years old, and has from youth led a reving and miserable life. He ia’ of medium stature, rather slim of body, and is: a little stoopimg. He was a long gray beard and Hair of the same shade. His features are py hia- face thin and his forehead of medium height. A: stranger would instantly notice his ey which are dark, piercingly sharp, an have an unmistakable sinister expression. In his dress and personal appearance he is toler- ably neat. He has a sanctimonious look, is an easy* tatker, and a keen observer would recognize him as acunning, shrewd and unprincipled man, Le has travelled muck andtived in many places, in- cluding Manchester, Concord, Allenstown, Derry and Candia, He pretended to read medicine with Dr. Hanson, of Manchester, and calling himself a botanic physician he practiced as such more or leas among ignorant people: Once he roamed the coun- try with an electrial battery, which he pretended to use professionally, and again he went around giv- ing exhibitions with a magic lantern, Again he drops all these occupations and goes about doing odd jobs of work, thus. gaining a precarious living. Next we hear of him as ® whining beggar and a self-styled Second Advent preacher, Once he attended an adventist meeting in Boston, where, in the-garb of a hypocrite, he ap- pealed successiully to: the sympatiies of tle auut- ence, who raised him: a good contribution. The next day he spent most of it for a meerschaum ptpe, and his religious friends hearing of it would never have anything more to do withhim. He often oxtended his travels into Canada, but where- ever he went he was, sure to geta bad name. The sudden and mysterious disappearance of a young twin child in Derry many years ago was also supposed to have been his work, but no pone Proof of it was ever obtained, He haa een married three times. Aiter living with him, some twenty years his first wife died. Of the children born in this union one, a son, now lives in Derry, while a married daughter resides in Lawrence, Mass. His second wife separated her self from him, He was married again, but his leat wife also left him and returned to Laconia. Since last June Evans had made hts home at Mr. Day's being the only brother of the old lady, whicd. of course made him a mrana anole of the murdered girl. His relations with the different members of the family had generally been of a peaceable ebar- acter, and in truth no one seemed to regard Evang a8 a dangerous character.
