Christine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull at New York, was arrested here to- night. He is a copper-colored negro, who has been employed asa waiter for a year and a half in the neighborhood of the Hall residence. Cox appeared in Boston a week ago, and at a pawnbroker’s shop disposed of a cameo set of jewelry, which the superin- tendent of pawnbrokers afterwards found. The pawnbroker-furnished a description of the prisoner, and search revealed the fact that Cox, after getting rid of the jewelry, went to New York and remained there two or three days, and in the meantime made
some alteratiens in the character and color}
of his clothing. Cox was discevered and suspected in the street here to-night by a newspaper reporter who had a description of him. The reporter accosted Cox, and the latter’s ignerance of the city confirmed the former’s suspicions. The reporter fol- lowed Cox till the latter entered a colored church and then informed the police, who were sent for, and Cox surrendered without resistance. Mrs. Hull’s watch was found on him, and he .was thoroughly identitied. He was not reticent, and said, in answer to questions, that he had lived for a long time opposite Mrs. Hull’s house, and at the time
of the robbery entered threugh the lower
window and went upstairs to her’ room. He said his purpose was robbery alone, and he did not intend to kill her. Ofticers from New York and also one of Mrs. Hull’s bearders recegnized Cox.

Prof. Goldwin Smith on Canadian Parties.
——
Prof. Goldwin Smith has written a letter to a Montreal paper, in which he says :—
‘‘In an editorial on the Ontario elections you very naturally remarked that people might wonder how an English Liberal like ine could be founnd acting with the Con- servatives in Canada; and you observed, by way of explanation, that the meaning of the party names in the two countries were not the same. This is true, but there is a little more to be said.
‘**You will remember that some years ago an attempt was made, under the auspices of Mr. Blake, to found a Liberal party, with an organ of its ewn, in opposition to the Grity party and the Globe. That attempt, being made with less constancy than in- telligence, failed; and there is now in Ontario no Liberal party, though there is Liberalism in an unorganized state. Mr. Brown never calls himself a Liberal, nor does his faithful representative, Mr. Mowatt; both eschew the name, the more carefully, perhaps, because it reminds them of the mutinous movement of Mr. Blake. They always call themselves Reformers, a designation the justice of which Mr. Mowatt’s election committee has just been illustrating, by placarding the walls of Tor- ento with a promise that, if the citizens will return him te Parliament, he will spend a large sum of money among them on public buildings.
A Liberal, therefore, whether English or Canadian, if he wished to join a party would have no party to join. Among the Liberal-Conservatives, some of whoe.n have been in other camps, he would find more men of Liberal mind than among their op- ponents, at least in this part of the Do- minion. Enlist with the Grits he could not, without putting off his nature. I do not believe that there exists a party which more systematically crushes independence of thought and character. The religious basis of Grit Toryism is Calvanism, where- as that of Toryism in England is Anglican- ism; but Liberalism is not more alien to those who cropped Prynne’s ears than to those who burned Servitus.

Revolution in Panama.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE KIDNAPPED.
A Panama despatch says that on the 7th inst., Gen. Rafael Aizpum declared a pr@® visional Government at Aspinwall. The revolutionists afterwards took possession of the cuartel, where but slight resistance was made. Two persons were weunded, one, the sentinel oii duty, fatally. Aizpum is reported to have one hundred followers. The same evening, President Casorda was decoyed and kidnapped here, and placed on a hand-car, which started for Aspinwall. The hand-car collided with a train, and the persons on the former miraculously escaped. The parties walked toa station and were conveyed thence to Aspinwall, where they arrived next day. Casorda is now closely confined. Measures were at once taken here to prevent diserder and to resist the attempt to overthrow the constitutional Government. The Panama railroad has refused.to convey national troops to Aspin- wall. Azipum’s ferces marched to Gatun, seven miles from Aspinwall, and crossed the Chagres river te the native village. Three hundred Government troops are marching to give the insurgents battle. It is believed the revolution will be brief, as it lacks the sinews of war.

Colonel Pearson’s name has become fa- mous as that of the gallant commander who, with a small force, for eight long weeks, held a poorly fortified post in the heart of Zululand against enemies, whose numbers and bravery made the chances of his relief so small that his safety was long despaired of in England. He, however. succeeded in his self-appointed task, and, asthe plan of the campaign was not his, the subsequent withdrawal from the posi- tion by the British army does not re- flect any discredit upon Colonel Pear- son’s gallant action. Very little has been published concerning Col. Pearson’s career. He was formerly in cemmand of the 3rd (Buffs) regiment of infantry, and took part in the Ashantee war. He is one of the mest successfui of the British officers in Zululand, a tact probably owing to the experience gained on the West Coast. Since the relief of Ekowe little has been heard ef him, owing, nu deubt, to his be- ing incapacitated for werk by sickness, brought on by the hardships of his position in the heart of Zululand.
Bismarck’s Grim Pieasantry.--A Darin- stadt paper is assured on trustworthy auth- ority that the Prince of Bulgaria will ap- pear before the Sultan in his Hessian uni- form, not in a black frock coat and fez. Speaking of the Princes tour among the various European Courts, (olos asserts that Prince Bismarck, when conferring lately with His Highness,remarked that the union of Bulgaria with Eastern Roumelia was, sooner or later, unaveidable. The Chan- cellor is credited with another saying, when consulted by Lieutenant Battenberg as to whether he should accept the proffered crown, ‘‘Certainly,” quoth the Prince, ‘‘by all means; it will always be a pleasant reminiscence for you.”
