Eighteen hundred and sevent.v-six is the
Centennial year. It is alsotlie year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives,the
fiist since the war, will hi- in jiowtr at
Washington : anil the year of the twenty
third election of a President ot the United
Stales All ot these events are sure to he of
yiv.it interest and iniportam-e, esjieeially'
the latter; and all of them and everythin;:
eounei : ii with them will he tally and fresh
!y reporteil in Tan Sun
The < ippositiou House of Representatives,
taking uj'the line of inquiry opened years
a wo hy I'll K Sun. will sternly and diligi ntly
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant's administration ; and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for a new and
bettor period in our national history. Of all
this Thu Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early ami trustworthy inlormptioii
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty third Presidential ejection,
with the preparations for if, will he ineino
rahie as deciding upon Grant's aspirations
for a third term of power and [ hinder, and
still more as deciding who shall be the
candidate of the party of Reform, and as
electing 1 li-if candidate. Ueneerning :yi 1 t liese
-objects, those who read Tilt: Sun will have
(lie constant nicansot being thoroughly well
informed.
The Wueki.y Sun, which lias attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already lias its readers in every State and
Territory, aud we trust that the year 1ST6
will see their numbers doubled. It will con
tinue to be a thorough newspaper. All the
general news of tin* day w;Jl lie found in it,
condensed whin unimportant, at full when
of moment : aiul always. we trust, treated
in a clear, interesting aud instructive man

It i our aim to make the Weekly Si n
the lie. ! family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales,poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we

Mr Hamilton Fish, in bis late
i\ published instructions to our
. iDUster at the Court of Madrid,
is almost lachrymose in his com
plaints against the Spanish Gov
eminent b r (he non execution by
it in its promise given in the Fish
polo ^protocol, which stipulated
Why Burriei Cannot be
Tried
that Tien. Burriei, who ordered
the execution of Capt. Fry and
the other officers and the crew of
the. Virginias, should be tried
for murderous conduct-. Mr. Fish's
exact word, are these :
"So far as the payment of nion
ey can atone for the execution of
these unprotected prisoners (those
of the Yirginius), that has been
accomplished ; the higher and
more imperative duty which the
Government of Spain assumed by
the protocol of Nov. 29, 1873
namely, to Icing to justice Gen!
Burriei and the other principal
titlendels in this tragedy, has been
exuded and entirely neglected.
Having made this neglect the
subject of a separate instruction
muter tins date, 1 abstain from
lui t her j eterenee thereto."
As Mr. nsh has not furnished
the note coniainioing this sepa
i.ite instruction, it is lair to infer
mat .10 is ashamed to tarnish it.
Ills published statement, how
ever, is not flattering to our na
tional pride. In language which a

iiunifl has, since his return to
Spain, repeatedly dared the Gov
eminent to try him, and Mr. Fish
know it. Borriel declares that he
only obeyed instructions of bis
superior officer, the Captain-Gen
eitil of Cuba, and that he has the
verifying documeuts'in his posses
sion. lie. states further that if he
sinned in aught, it was in not
carrying out. his instructions fiy
the letter, which were that in the
event of the Virginias being tak
en into Santiago de Cuba, he
should try all on board by court
martial, amt execute the sentence
on hoard the day following their
arrival in Santiago. The sentence.
of a court of a court martial could
have been executed half an hour
alter its opening,
Gen. .Jovellar, the present Cap
tain General in Cuba, was the
person whose instructions l»tir
riel thus modified ; and Gen. Jov

Mr. Fish is know expecting im

by the finding in a cab a pack- i

In America, the killing of poor !
Alice Bowlsby of Paterson, N. J., I
by Iiosenweig, discovered by the j
finding ot the body crushed into a I
trunk for transmission to Chicago,
is s:ill fresu iu the recollection of
the public. Fiom a number of
cases showing the difficulty of
keeping murder out of sight, the j
following three eases, which have
become historical, are interesting
examples :
The case of Prof. Webster, who
was hanged for the murder of Dr. 1
Parkinau, was one in which guilt
was brought home to the perpe- 1
trator through the idea!ideation
of a body after if had been sepa
rated limb from limb, submitted
to chemical processes, and to the :
inordinate beat of a furnace, aud
mingled with the unnumbered;
bones of anatomical subjects. It !
was shown that Prof. Webster
had urgent pecuniary motives for
getting Dr. Parkman out of the
way. The prisoner lived at the. j
Medical College, Boston. He made
an appointment to meet Dr. Park
mail at 2 o'clock on Friday, Nov.
23, 18411, to discuss money mat-;
teis. Dr. Parkman was seen en
teriug the college at a quarter to
"o'clock, and was never again
seen alive. The prisoner said that
ti le doctor did not keephisap
poiutment, and was not in the
college at ail that day.
For a whole week no traces of
the missing man were found. On
the Friday week and the day fol
lowing were tumid in a furnace
connected with Webster's labora
tury in the college, fused together
indiscriminately with the slag, the
cinders, and the refuse of the fuel,
a large number of bones and cer
tain blocks ot mineral teeth. Some
gold that had been united was
also found. Other bones were dis
covered in a vault under the col
lege, and in a tea chest, embedded
in a quantity of tan, the entire
trunk of a him?an body and more
bones were found. The parts thus
collected from different places
made the entire body of a person
................
of Dr. Parkman's age, about sixty
years, and the form of the body,
when reconstructed, had just the
peculiarities of Dr. Parkman.
It was further shown that the
remains had been separated by a
person possessed of anatomical
skili. though not for anatomical
purposes. Finally three witnes
ses, dentists, testified that the
mineral teeth were those made
for J)r. Park man three years be
fore. A mould of ilie doctor's jaw
was made at the time, ami it.
was produced, and shown to be
so peculiar that no accidental
conformity of the teeth to the
jaw could possibly account for
the adaptation. This clinched the
evidence agaiust the prisoner.
The murder of Samuel Adams,
a printer in 2scv York, by John
< . Colt, a teacher ot hook-keep ;
mg, and brother of the late Col. ;
numm 1 Colt, of revolver tame, is
anotaer example. As in the case
ot 1 rot. ouster, the motive was j
f<> get rid et au importunate cred
ltor. J lie- -seelie ot the murder j
was tee building on Broadway
and Chambers street, now oecu- '
pied by Uelmonico, the restalira
ten r.
John C. Colt occupied a room
in this building for his business.
One September morning in 1811,
Adams, who was printing for
him a work ou bookkeeping, cal
led for dot) or #flO due him, and *
was not seen again alive. Inqiii j
nos were made by his family, and |
it was ascertained that he w'as
lasv seen going into Colt's apart i
mems, in Chambers street. On \
the ot Adams' disappearance, [
suspicious noises were heard in i
Coifs room. 1 he body flinally j
came boxed directed to a gentle
man in fSt. Louis, by way of New
Orlean.s, and was traced back to
New York to Colt, and he was
arrested.
Cojt's story \vas that Adams
ami lie bad a dispute as to the
correctness of tbe bill presented,
and that the latter called him a
liar, which lie resented by slap
ping him in the face. A scuffle en
sind ; Adams seized, him by the
throat and Colt, in seif-defence,
caught up a hatchet lying near
:
by, ami struck lijui on the foo*!
head, killing him. He went out of
his rotui'j, ynd locked the door. ,
hurrying to the City Hotel,!
where liis bi gttiier, Samuel Colt, i
was staying, intending to tell
him his his secret and take his
advice. Sairujcl Colt, who was in
the bar room with some friends,
told ids brother to go up to his
room aud that he would join him
in a few minutes. The prisoner
waited, and his brother not com
ing, he wept back to the room iu !
Chambers street. The body lay ;
there covered with blood. Tie took
a large box, ciarpmed tbe body
into it, wrapped iu. u piece of can ,
vas, tying up the legs close to I
tlie trunk, and then scattered '
salt and sawdust over all. He j
washed off the marks of blood on !
the wall ami floor, and smeared s
them with ink to bide their tra 1
ces. fie stayed in the loom until
late at night, and then refciu;iieU.!
to his lodgings in Monroe street.
Next morning he nailed up the
box, sent for a carm..n, and had
it put on board the steamer Kal
mazoo, lying at the foot of Mai i
den lane.
Colt was ea evicted ot wilful,
murder, and was sentenced to be
hanged. On the day f'.xed fo; the
hanging he stabbed himself in
the heart.
A remarkable murder trial in
Boston, in many respects like
that of Professor Webster, but
resulting in the acquittal of the
prisoner, was that of Leavitt
Alley, who was accused of killing
Abijah Lliis. Some workmen
near the Cambridge gas works.
discovered two barrels contain - 1
ing the mutilated bod\ floating
iu the Chailcs river. They were
packed with horse manure and
shaving, and iu one of the barrels
a piece of brown paper was found
with the. "dame of Alt'. Schooler,
a billiard table maker, it was
shown that Leavitt Alley, a t^ui
ster, was in the habit ofremov
mg these shavings to his stable,
l 1 allowing the clue to the stable,
it, was found that a dry manure
heap had been disturbed and
blood was found on "ouu; boards
near by.
It was proved that on the. pre
vious morning Alley started from
his stable with tour barrels, aud
a teamstei, in jumping from a
wagon, had ascertained that two.
of them were heavy. Two of the
barrels were not satisfaetui ilv

tied that he saw the team and
barrels with a man strongly re
sembling Alley on the mill dam,
whence they were supposed io
have been trown into the river.
Alley owed Ellis about £2fl<),
needed money, aud Ellis was
known to have been looking for
the suspected man on the night
of the minder. A new axe that
Alley had bought was missing,
Stains were tound on bis cloth
ing, which experts declared to be
the blood of the mudered man.
A woman bad beard strange
noises on the night, of the mur
der, like the rolling of barrels.
Alley, it was shown, bad plenty
of money after Ellis's death. An
examination of the stomach of
the mudered man showed that he
showed that he must have died
between six and nine o'clock ou
the fatal evening. Seemingly,
lien* was a perfect chain of cir
cu m st initial evidence. But the de
fence met the theory that Alley
had committed the murder in a
quarrel by showing his peaceable
disposition and bis high reputa
tion for honesty, and controvert*
ed the assertiun'of the proseeu
tion that Alley was in debt to
Ellis ami without money tr» meet
an engagement that foil duo at
the time of the murder, by show
ing that the prisoner owned real
prisoner ow ned real
estate in New Hampshire and
bail money in a bank. Alley's
abundance of ready money after
the murder was explained by hi$
son having iepaid him $125 the
evening before. He gave a satis*
factory account of how he had
spent his time ou the day of the
murder. Experts called'by llie
defence swore that the blood on
tin* prisoner's clothes, being dry,
could not be distinguished from
the blood of a beast. This conflict
ing scientific testimony confused
tl.e jury to the advantage of the
prisoner, and he was acquitted,

murderer was never found,
