It M thoUght that the owners 'of sorrel Dan, tbe new pacing wonderywiM aud'old woman Bender, their deten tion at the Fremont jail and their numerous confessions and inter views with -newspaper correspond ents. From these we eummacjzc the following. The old woman says that she was a widow wbeh""ShG married McGregor, alias Bender, who:wtt-a:widower with -four chil dren. They moved from Illinois to Labette county, Kansas', where under the leadership of Kate, old John's daughter, tho murders and robberies began. Mrs. Bender declares she hand no personal hand in these crimes. The first -man killed by them was a man named Brown. Very soon after the first murder, two-strangers were killed. She was asked 'whether she "remembered about a whole family being killed. She 'said "Yes; I do." "There was a man and wifeand two riltle girls, who: drove" up "to the -house one afternoon and wanted to opend the night. That night, while tho man and Tub wife were at supper, they were dropped through the liole. Ka'te and tho old man- were' below. The man fot'ght- pretty hard, but they fixed him. Next day the two children wore buried alive, and John-took one and Kate the other. They1 Hollowed awful, but finally stopped; and Kato camo-in and said': 'The damned brats are all right now.'" SoOn after-this, according to the womau's story, they became frightened and joined the Chorokee or "Choctaw -Indiana. The old man's confession embraces these points aud some others. The first murder was committed in Illi nois. They had a trap-door and the old woman ln-lped bury him. He helped Kate make a trap-door iu Kansas'like they had in Illinois. The first man wouldn't get on the trap door. He and Kate slept together, aud sho killed him with a butcher knife. The only man he ever killed alone was it peddler, hit him on the back of the" head with a stone ham mer ; got a good deal of money from him don't kuow how much, Johu killed a man and put his body under the ice. Two girls 7 or 8 years old were burled alive, their parents were killed tho day before. Says the old man "I used to stand behind the curtain and push the trap-door. Kate and Maggie were in the cellar to cut tho throats of tho victims, after they would fall through the trap-door." Following this is con siderable in regard to John and Kate, who, though brother aud sis ter, lived as man and wife, having four children born to them. They became alarmed in Kansas, aud- hurriedly left for the west, going among the Indians, aud have been wandering ever since. When captured they were on their way to Illinois. -The old -man is very .ig norant-aud almost demeuted; sev enty years"- -old, broken down, an outcast -and wanderer (doubtless under .continual fear of detection, hi test and punishment for his crimes), It -is little wonder that it is said of- him, " Memory- is all he has Sheriff D. M. Bedder of Labette Co., Kansas, with a requisition from Gov. St. John of that State has takeu hie- prisoners," arriving iu Kansas on Saturday last. 'So soon as the Kansas authorities siguify that-tho'old couple arrested are-the-right parties, the remainder of the family will be put in cu8tody In- an hour. They are traveling in Iowa, and are closely watched. - There seems- no room to doubt the identity of the prisoners. 'Their trial will 'form a chapter in the hiBtory of crimes, only excelled in horror, perhaps", by tho barber in Europe, who let men through a trap-door in his shop, and after wards made mince pies of their flesh. A dispatch iu yesterday's Omaha Republican from Oswego, Aug. 9th 6ayB :"Tho old couple, supposed to be Bender and wife, arrived here from Nebraska this morning, and were exposed in the court house for somo hours. Many persons went to see them and dozens who knew the real Benders pronounce these people impostors. The sheriff thinks they will- be discharged to-morrow. It is an axiom in mathematics that We lenvn from Paris that tho ru- the wholo is greater than any of its ) nrns from electors to the consuls see that there are so many little parts here aud there in the State, who assume to be very much wiser than the wholo body of the pcopl of'thc State, as evidenced .bv their position with reference to our con- rstitution and laws on the selection of U.

The evidence is considered con clusive that Dr. Tanner conducted bis fast honestly and fairly, which ended hie 40 days of fast at noon on the 7th inst.

A GENTLEMAK residing,here who has been acquainted with Xew York politics-since-1840, gives excellent reasons for bisconfidence that Gar field and Arthur will carry the State by a handsome" majority. If little Johnny Davenport will keep fraud ulent voters away from the polls in N. Y. city there is no doubt as to tbe general result. The empire state is grandly republican when there is bo foul play. British troops will be compelled to withdraw from the country, if 'hey can, in consequonco of a gen eral upririing of the Afghans, and acknowledge a final defeat, or send armies large enough to make their hold good against a general rising. Ex-Gov. Austin Blair of Michi gan, has, come out in favor of Gar field, and says that Garfield's actions in political life appear to be govern ed alone by conviction of 'right, and thinks that Garfield will do nil in his power to elevate tho tone of politics. C. C. Mokse, of Lincoln, knows how to churn and make butter. From 18 quarts cream the other day he made 2GJ pounds of butter. Duriug June and July, 61 days, he made from 25 cows, 1,438 pounds butter or 23 7-12 pounds per day. His last method contains the secret of butter making, by placing each milking in a single large shallow pan 2i feet wide by 6 feet long.

The South American war is car ried on with horrible butchery. In taking Tacna by the Chilian troops only one street escaped the sack. Hundreds of wounded and prisoners were slaughtered in cold blood. Not one .wounded was found alive on the the field the day succeeding the battle. Women, and girls of the tenderest age were killed. A fip.e at the store-house of the Atlantic Dock Company, Brooklyn, N. Y., last week, caused a loss of $70,000.
