Several days ago a Mr Edy shot and killed a negro man at Pleasureville, in this county.

We have not learned the name of the negro, nor the particulars of the killing. It is reported that the negro had made an attempt to commit rape on tbe wife of Edy, but of the truth of this we do not known. Edy was arrested and brought before Justices Hall aad Adams last Friday, and held in bonds for his appearance at the next term of the Henry Circuit Court. From Parts True Kentuckian. Big Sandy Railroad to be Completed.

Gen. Robinson, of the Pha-nix Hotel, Lexington, who has been on a visit to his brother-in-Iaiv, Col. Hanson, received a letter from Capt. Cal. Morgan, of Lexington, stating that Eastern parties have contracte for the completion of the Big Sandy Railroad, and obligated themselves to finish it in four years.

That portion from Lexington to Mt. Sterling is to be completed in two years. The parties give $150,000 stock in the road for it, and are to pay $10,000 damages if they fail to fulfill their contract. We hope the roa 1 may be built, but we fear the sanguine hopes of its friends are destined to delay, if not disappointment. Hogs.

Mr. F. Riggs, of Covington, has lately purchased and shipped from this icunty about 1,000 head of hogs. Tha finest lot he obtained was 92 head, averaging 290 sold by John Current, of liuddetls Mills. He paid from 7 to 8c.

Hcgs, be says, are now doll, commanding ore cent less than he paid. Mr. Riggs complains that it cost him five dollars per ear more to ship hogs from Paris to New York than from St. Louis to ew York. J.

Beat that. captured Thomas Langan and Edmund Brown of Wnriv-fifth Precinct, ware detailed tor the work by Captain Woglom, who instructed them to use all efforts and spare no expense to carry out their object successfully, which instructions they faithfully performed. The officers came to the conclusion from the financial condition of Hostedt when he left that he would take to the open conntry.

In this they were correct. On Monday Langan and Brown started for Glen Cove, and xtrossed to Manhasset Landing, where he had formerly worked. Not finding him there they went to Flushing, Jamaica, and Newtown, but without success Upturning to-Williamsburg, they took the 7:30 A. M. train for Paterson, New Jersey, and rode through different sections of that State, making inquiries aad keeping a sharp look-out for traces of their man, but with rather discouraging prospects.

Finally reaching Sufferns, New York, they moved in the direction of Slotesburg, their wagon breaking down before they reached the latter place. They then obtained a farmers wagon, and finally succeeded in tracing Hostedt to thq bridge tbis side of Slotesburg, where they ascertained that such a man had passed that way. Losing trace of him at this point, the officers returned to Paterson and again took the train on last Saturday morning for Slotesburg, and, after a search of that place and Sufferns, found the murderer concealed in a hay-stack in the vicinity of the latter place at eleven o'clock of the same morning. When brought out he was completely prostrated by hunger. In his pockets were ears of hqrd corn, upon which he bad subsisted most of the time, his general appearance deterring people from assisting him.

Upon the trip from Sufferns to Williamsburg he was an object of interest everywhere, people crowding to get a look at the man Hustedt, who is a very ordinary looking person, is 39 years of age, and was born in the Kingdom of Hanover.

From the Rational iDtelligeaceT of Human nature has vindicated itseIC The white men of this city have asserted their inalienable rights.

The victory of the black radicals last year has been tnrned back with a loss to them of more than two thousand. Had Dot negroes infested the polls after voting, and had there not been designed and concerted slowness in receiving the votes of the whites, whereby hundreds were shut off from voting, our majority would have been from a thousand to fifteen hundred, with a gain of near four thousand. All this, though two thousand whites, exclusive of clerks in departments, failed to register from supposition that the radical success of last year, based upon fraud and force, would be repeated. From five hundred to a thousand more negroes voted than could be well called for from their real population. Many of them came to the polls without being able to give the names by which they had been registered.

By what hocus pocus they got names from white tricksters, so that they could be preferred in renewing their claim to vote, passes human comprehension, save upon ideas of fraudulent complicity. Blacks were in throngs at the polls at the early dawn. They were voted rapidly, except when more or less could not remember anything about their names. Then they were posted oil to certain headquarters, where the matter of names and place of residence was made all right. As a general thing, when whita men came to vote it was a slow process.

Hundreds could not get to vote before the closing of the polls. The polling places were arranged that there was an immense crowd at some of the polls, and scarce any others. At them there were, by design it would seem, some of the slowest me 1 and the most stupid proceases of receiving votes. The ideal ideation of negroes as to their place of residence, or as to the double voting of many of them, was nearly impossible. Misrepresentations were made as to age.

Many voted who had no true residence here. But, notwithstanding all the network of fraud aad wrong, the Jacobins stand defeated. They had the eclat of General Grant's preseace here. They bad that of the usurping and revolutionary Congress. I hey had with them, cr sympathizing with them, the standing army of five or Bix thousand radical office-holders here.

They held out to the people menaces of severe Congressional pains and penalties, should the white people assert their honor and principle. By this means they paralyzed many of the more timid and credulous of our citizens. But all in vain. There are some shameful conditions of vassalage, under promise of reward, to which human nature revolts. The soldiers in the city, of the regular army, were almost to a man, against the radical operations here, who had at the head of their tickets the picture of General Grant.

It wa9 a Grant issue. It was the first battle of the campaign after his nomination at Chicago. It is in consistence with like results by States aud cities upon surety that sucV nomination ould take place. In them hewillseethe certain defeat of himself in November, and with it the final downfall of the Jac-ctiii party. From the New York Tribune.

Id. The sale of the late Mr. A. A. metes library, which occurred last week at Messrs.

Leavitt, Strebeigh, salesroom, Clinton Hall, Astor-place, is worthy of notice. The catalogue is an octave volume of more than 300 pages, embracing boot 2,500 lots, and this was perhaps the most extensive collection of books ever sold by auction in tbis city. Mr. Smets was a man of wealth, accumulated by years of npright and diligent application to business, and, from early manhood, a resident of Savannah, where with affluence he acquired for himself the reputation of an honorable and useful citizen. From a hoy he had felt a thirst for books, and, when quite a youth, while his means were extremely slender, he began his collection.

E.s love for books, aDd especially rare ones, had always been so decided that he bad never felt much interest in the ordinary pleasures of young men, preferring to expend his early savings in a different way. By this means he had been saved from expensive and injurious indulgences, and from tbe formation of bad habits, while an entertainment of another kind, innocent, rational, and useful, was provided for his gratification. Under the influence of such a taste, books, instead of balls, theatricals, and dinners, had been the objects of his choice, and absorbed all his spare earnings and time. Referring to his taste for books, Mr. Bluets bas himself said: The care of a large family, and the duties demanded by an extensive concern, did not so completely absorb my time that 1 could not spend part of it in my library.

Let my troubies be ever so great, I could there cast them all aside. Every one bas his hobby. Books have been emphatically nine. Though it never entered into my to make such a valuable colleotion as I now have, I ever ardently desired to procure whatever works or literary curiosities I fouDd referred to in the course of my readings. 1 cannot express my delight on the opening of every new pircel.

lbus my library has gradually increased, until 1 am quite surprised to find myself called upon by every stranger of note visiting thi9 city. Mr Smetss great psseion was for early printed books and manuscripts, and of this portion of his library he printed in 1857, a Catalogue Raisonnee, a book of about 150 pages, for his own pleasure and that of his friends. This catalogue commenced with an Egyp. tian Papyrus 3,000 years old, and so on with numerous specimens down through the thirteen, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixthteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

o. Picayune, M. The i account in the local journal show that the telegraph did not exaggerate the fearful character of the tempest which raged over San Antonia on the evening of May 19th. The wind rose to a fierce gale; the tain came down like a deluge, and the hail was most extraordinary and wholly unprecedented in Texas. At halfpast 7 oclock P.

M. the heavens darkened, tbe wind commenced to blow from the north, and the lightning became very brilliant. It continued thus until half-past eight, when the wind freshened, the rain commenced to fall, andwithin fifteen minutes it had increased to a hurricane, accompanied with the most fearful hail shower ever known. Chunks of ice fell as Ihrge as a good sized pitcher, one weigh-irg two and a half pounds by actual weight. exposed glass towards the north in the city was dashed to pieces in aq instant.

Fronts of stores were opened, merchandise destroyed, houses blown dowD, and men's clothes cut to shreds. Tbe buildings that suffered the most were the Convent building, the' Methodist Church, Louxs mill, Jaques boardinghouse, the Hospital buildiDg, Devines building, Veramendi house, on Soledad street; aqd on Main street, the south side -especially, every house is damaged very seriously, commencing at the corner of the Plaza, and including every house, without a single exception. On tbe main Plaza every business house, including the Herald building, was very seriously damaged: tin roofs suffered most. The old Presbyterian Church was unroofed, aud nothing left but the wreck of the side walls, the ends having blown clear down. The splendid residence at the head of the San Antonio river, built by Col.

Charley Apdetson, before the war, was destroyed by the storm. Also the City Tannery was blown down, the inmates barely escaping with their lives. The negro church west of the San Pedro was completely demoralized, the roof having been blown over six hundred yards. Hacks were turned over, men bruised, chickens killed, and every imaginable kind of damage was sustained Trees two feet through were twisted off like pipe stems, and the hail dashed through the roofs, leaving holes as clean as cannon balls would have done. A roof forty feet long sailed off the Alamo and landed two hundred yards away, in the center of the Alamo Plaza." Blinds were dashed in, and hail lay a foot deep in places.

The front of the Express office is among those dashed in, drenching the sauctum.and damagingthe library slightly. The soldier camp was completely demolished, and sevaral families were obliged to move to avoid drowning. After 8 oclock next morning the rain came up, which raised the river and the Pedro precipitately. The vegetable gardens, peach orchards, and corn fields were ruined entirely; the trees were all dismantled. The storm extended a very short distance west of the city.

It is said one bail-stone that was picked up weighed five aud a half pounds. At least one hundred families living on the San Pedro and San Antonio rivers were turned into the streets by the water becoming four or five led deep in their-houses. A number of persons were severely injured, but only one life was lost, that of a negro child. The Express says the city is a perfect wreck every house in it has received some damage, and many are complete rmns, with nothing but fragments of walls standing. The hail stones penetrated the best roofs, going through the roof like cannon balls.

All the windows facing the onth have been smashed in; even window-si utters and doors were broken down. The appearance of the city could not have bcenworse under a severe bimbardmeut. Tiees are stripped of their leaves and "blanches, which lie piled up in thd yards and streets. The tides of houses exposed to the hail have the appearauce of having withstood a thousand discharges of grape and cannister. The roofing of the entire city is perforated like a sieve.

The hailstones are of irregular shape and all sizes, as if a mass of ice had been broken above and were driven by a tornado to the earth. Tbe corn patches and gardens are flattened to the ground, and have the appearance of having passed through a chopping mill. All the fruit crop is destroyed. The storm resembled a terrific battle; the lightnmg flashing in fearful vividness, the thunder crashing like a thousand cannon, and the hail falling like shot; so fearful was the noise that no one could hear unless they screamed in each others ears. The storm went in a narrow belt, and extended some six miles, taking off several roofs in it.9 course.

The storm extended northeast about three miles, for which distance the telegraph wire wtW entirely destroyed. Ten minutes after 9 P. M. the storm had subsided, the stars were shining beautifully, and the rattling of broken glass sounded in every part of the city. Terre Haute 8pcfal to the IndtanaDolts Sentinel, sd in at.

Oar City has been graced to-day with a crowd of tbe roughs and pugilists who have been in attendance upon the McCoole-Cobnrn mill, and were on their return to St. Louis and New Orleans. Among the number were Patsey Nelson, of New Orleans; Dennis Hudson, of Chicago; Ben Kavanaugh, Jerry Bunt.in, Mickey Edwards, Tom Cusick, Mickey Sibley, and Billy Coburn. Having some difficulty in regardjto the settlement of their bets on the late fizzle near Lawrenceburg, there was considerable bad feeling engendered, and there seemed to be no other method of ventilating their surcharged feeling, but in getting up a match between Patsy Nelson ard Dennis Hudson for a purse of $200. Patsy was seconded by Jerry Buntin and Dennis by Mickey Sibly, B.ily Coburn being selected as umpire.

The place chosen for the mill was in the Terre Haute House grourds.near tbecelebrated Rose Well. Tbe tjght was witnessed by alarge crowd of enthusiastic admirers of the two men. and there was no fear of either Federal or gubernatorial interference in the sport Bets were freely offered of three to five against Nelson, with plenty of takers. The appearance of the men and their fine, vigorous physiques caused the liveliest enthusiasm. Hudson stripped to 219.

and Nelson to 151 pounds. The former in splendid condition, although slightly inclined to corpulency, his fine, manly figure showing to advantage under the influence of excitement Nelson came up with his usual smiling countenance, and interchanges of the most gracious compliments passed between parties. The rule of tire English prize rinwere strictly adhered to. The barbarous custom of using the knees of the seconds for support being ignored, a chair was furnished for each iu his corner. Jerry Buntin and Mickeju.

Sibley acted their roles with their usual good natured alacrity, and the decisions ot IB lly Coburn were received unquestioned by the admiring crowd. Hudson shied his castor into the ring at a quarter-past four A. and instantly followed it, and in a few minutes Nelson put in an appearance. Round First The men approached the scratch with alacrity both stood shy on their pins with evident intentions to feel their wsy. Nelson made the first dash with his left, which was cleverly stopped, and very soon a rejoinder was offered by Hudson in a powerful and well aimed rib-roaster.

The blow, however, was half parried, and so well done as to keep Nelson well in breath, but it was evident that Hudson was in the best confidence, which fact was weighed most cautiously by Nelson, when, all at once, breaking down the guard, Dennis delivered Patsy a stunning load, winch sent him to grass, reeling. First knock down for Hudson. Round Second Patsy looked shy, but nevertheless (jut on his best smiles. Dennis went to the scratch on feather foot. he combat opened briskly, and the sparring was very brilliant.

First one and then the other made the assault. Many of the bist judges on the ground said they had never witnessed better and thonght perhaps there was r. n'uing equal to it except tbe fighting of Jones and Sayres in the celebrated ninety seventh round of their Holyrood fight But a.l at once Nel-on let out after the first calm vnth splendid courage, and, quicker and harder than the eyes of spectators could follow, planted this right ra inley full on the smeller of bis antagonist, which splashed the blood terribly, sending him to grass with terrific force. Grea chi ers followed, as many of the heaviest hits wire laid on tha first blood, which wi' claimed aud allowed for Patsy. Round Third Dennis came up groggy, hut soon gained confidence with air, and ltd oil.

It had become evident that Patsy was much the neatest artist, but that he found great difficulty in standing before the sledge-hammer blows of Hudson. It was his policy to worry his antagonist, which Dennis soon discovered, and he im-mediatety rushed in nnd seized, and threw his man heavily. Nelson under Rounds Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, an-1 Seventh Very similar to the third, Dennis throwing Put9y every time, and each time falling heavily upon him. In the sixth round a cry of foul was raised, charging that Dennis had attempted to gouge Patsy when the latter had fallen as far as his knees. This claim was not allowed Eighth and Last Round Dennis came to time with a bound, and met Patsy well over his owd corner.

Smart sparring Dennis made a clever feint and came home on Patsys nob with a heavy left hander. Patsy rallied instantly and pushed Dennis to the wall, but in his eagerness dropped his guard, when Dennis put in his right mauley on his beak and epnt him down. The tremendous force of the immense bunch or fives wielded by Dennis was too much, for the overtaxed Patsy. His head had bee almost literally cleaved. Jeriy Buntin, his second, wisely threw rip the sponge, and the fight was declared in Dennis favor.

Time, twenty-seven minutes, which is pethnps the longest time occupied in eight rounds known to the ring. JTom th Muhvlll Bxnner. One of theSaPSt startling occurrence which has for some "tiiBA copie to ur nowledge was tbe piriting--away, lajrt Monday night, of Dr. McAdams, fofatwly of Lewisburg, but recently resT-1 Chapel Hill, Marshall county, formant states that on tbe evening Monday a young man named I)i Adams with seven other, members amtteur string band, met at Miller store Chapel Hill, for the purpose of practic The door of tbe store being closed, vk young men prepared for tbeir evening1, entertainment, but they were not long) destined to linger amid tbe echoes of delightful music, for eoon after they bad tuned their instruments there came a dia-tinct knock upon the door, followed by others louder and more imperative. Dr.

McAdams, not knowing who was on th outside, end never dreaming that tkae knocks wer sounding hi death knell, kept playing on a banjo, while a coin panion went, forward and opened tbe door. A man dressed from head 10 foot in --red and white spotted cloth ing and wearing a honey suddenly mads hi appearance through th5 entrance, followed by another who carried a long and by a third holding bin hands at his side, while three others re- mained outside tjjys Th first, with- out uttering a Wound, took hold of Dr. McAdamss arm and quietly pulled him off the counter, while another of the band threw him violently to the floor. Hishandn and feet were then tied with the rope. At this unlooked-for outrage upon his person and liberty, Dr.

McAdams said, I know you, every one of you, but I want to dia like a soldier." The leader, endeavoring to disguise his voice, responded; We will show you how to treat traitors. A' Dr. McAdams wa then taken oat of the house, to the greet consternation and awe of his companions, who knew not hdw to regard the action of the mysterious visitors. So completely were they taken by surprise that not one of them offered to render Dr. McAdams assistance, neither did they speak within five minutes after the disappearance of th hooded monsters; still les did they show any de- sire to follow the trail of the desperadoes.

After the three villains who were inside Lad conveyed their burden out into the yard they were joined by the other three, ai went down the road toward Duck river. They had not proceeded a great distance before they met a Mr. John Rob- -ertson, who was riding a horse. In a disguised voice one of theband remarked to Mr Robertson, calling the lattey by name, We want your horse." Whet do you want with it? Mr. Robertson asked.

"We want your horse to put this man on. You will find him in tha morning three ard a half miles distant from here, nt ar the Long String bridge. Mr. Ilobeitson Gentlemen, I don't know yob, and I would not willingly lend 11 IA to persons who are entire stran-ct rg to me. You outnumber me, and if you will take my horse I cannot help it you cannot have him with my consent The unknown horsemen then compelled Mr.

Robertson to dismount, took his animal, put Dr. McAdams upon it, and -hastened away in the direction of Long String bridge, over Duck river, oq tha Nolensville Pike.

In order to appreciate th political comedy which ia now being played, it is necessary to keep in mind that party which was represented in Crosbys Opera House is the very same party which bears sway in the National Capitok When an English parson who also acted as a justice of the peace (which is quite common in England) was heard by one of his parishioners using profane oaths', he replied to the reproof of the amazed rustic, I did not swear as a clergyman, but as a magistrate. But, retorted the other, when the Devil gets the magis trste what will become, of the clergyman? The Republican party cannot escape- fesponsibiiity for its acts by distinguishing what it sas as a National Convention, and what it does as a Congress. When the party represented at Washington is rowed up Salt River, what will become of the party represented at Chicago? The Republican party is aware that the country holds it responsible tor the long delay in restoring the Union. The country expected, and was entitled to expect, that when the war ended the Lnion would be immediately restored. If, in the election of 1865, the people had believed that the Republican party would keep the Lnion.dismembered for so long a period, they would have indignantly swept it out of power.

The party was sensible at Chicago that 'its hollow excuses will be no longer accepted, and, to save the necessity of repeating them, it put in the forefront of its platform the declaration that the Lnion has been restored. Instead of apologies ltAendered the country congratulations. Ihe impudent absurdity of such congratulations is pot to shame by what is now transpiring in Congress. If reconstruction is an achieved success, as was declared at Chicago, why is the Senate debating on the admission of the excluded States? Why are some of the most zealous radicals stithy opposing their admission Such a debate is a superfluous confutation of the Chicago declaration, and brands it as a shameless, empty boast. Even if Arkansas and the other States should be admitted with theiq bastard governments, it would be in no proper sense a restoration of the L'nion; but when nothing has been consummated, and ten States are still excluded from Congress, the language of exultation and tender of congratulations only proves what the Republican party need to have true in coming before the country to ask a still further indorsement.

The false boast, impudent and in suiting though it is, is an acknowledgment of the duty which the Republican party ought to have performed, but has not. Judging from debate, it is still a question with some of the Republican members of the Senate whether the Southern Slates ought to be readmitted at all previous to tbe 1resideutial election. Congress is likely to adjourn eariy, and if it disperses without admitting ihem the-tan take no part in the election of the next President any more than they did in the election of the last. Presidential Electors can only be chosen under the direction and superintendence of a valid State government and if the new governments do not receive the sanction of Congress previous to adjournment, it would seem to follow that tbe people cannot legally choose Presidential Electors The Republicans at Washington are jrobably meditanug a gigautic fraud on the South and the country. There are I artisans among them unscrupulous i nough to try to put things in such a shape that tbe form of an election will be held, but its legality be open to question, so that the counting of the Southern votes may not be decided until it is known whether they are needed, and seen on which side they are given.

The language of the reconstruction acts is well adapted to this scandalous game. It provides that the States shall be admitted when Coagress has approved their constitutions and when the h'ourteenth Constitutional Amendment, being approved by them, shall become a part of the Consti-ticn. If the'strict letter of this law is complied with, the States will not i admitted at present. Congress may nevertheless give the new governments tome sort of a quasi endorsement, and permit them to go int operation provisionally. Under such circumstances, they would go through the form of choosing Presidential Electors, especially since delegates from those States were admitted into the Chicago Convention.

It the-ten States should return more Democratic than Republican Electors they would not he counted, unless the Republican party found that it had succeeded in spite of t-ueb adverse votes. In that event, they might make a pretence of magnanimity and count them. The reason why Congress stumbles and hetitates is the fear that the Southern States may not, after all not even with universal negro suffrage and partial white disfranchisement be carried by the Rs-uhlicans. In the greater part of the Etates the negroes are a minority, and it is quite possible that the Democratic party may draw off' negro votes enough to outweigh the carpet-bag whites. It an elecuon is held, the Denio-i rats will go iuto it with more activity and igor than have been displayed in Southern politics siuce the close of the war; and their superior intelligence, energy, bnd political talents will tell powerfully upon the result.

Moreover, the groes and the carpetbaggers will feel tbe force of new motives. The officers of the new governments are as merit uarj set of demagogues as ever existed. From the moment the States are admitted, these demagogues will have to please a different set of masters. Their future bold of power will not depend on tbe approval of a radical Congress at Washington, but on the voluntary support of the people over whom they rule. The possession of office will naturally generate social ambition, and social Mandu is not attainable in the South by thwaiting the wishes of the cultivated classes.

Even the negroes will be subject lo new influences. When they are no lut ger fed- and managed by the Freed-ineu Bureau, they can be taught to look through different eyes. The question will no loDger be whether they shall vote, Hit what use they will make of the ballot now they have it and having got from the Republican party all it has to give them, many will be brought to see that hereafter their interests are identical wiih those of their section. The Repub-bean ltaders do not all regard it as a sure thing that the admission of the South ern States will benefit the party in the Presidential election, and their misgivings on this point explain tLe hesitation at Washington which makes the exultant boast at Chicago seem ridiculous. Tbe declaration at Chicago exTiibita the face which the party thinks it necessary to present to the people; the floundering at Washington betrays the knavery which the radical leal ers would not scruple to practice if they thought it would conduce to their success or save them from ruin.

It is a question with them whether they would gain more by fully restoring the Union (after their fashion), or by playing fast aDd loose and keeping things in such a shape that they can count the Southern votes or not, according to party exigencies. The Democratic party detests their bogus governments and is opposed to their recognition; but if tlie States are brought in with them, we do not despair of carrying all the Southern States but two. From tbe Richmond Whig. On Monday evening last a young lady from Buckingham county, Virginia, by the name of Emma CL Layne, arrived in Baltimore by tbe 9:45 train, and took rooms at one of our hotels. She was in pursuit of one Benjamin F.

Cleveland, who, she alleges, under an engagement of marriage last January in Virginia, had taken ad' vantage of her love for him, and caused her to be in a very mortifying and embarrassing condition. On Tuesday morning she sficceeded in finding her seducer at his boarding house on Sharp street. He met her kindly, promised immediate marriage, and told her to be of good cheer, all would be well in a few hours. Believing be was honest in his intentions, she, at -hie request, separated from him and never saw him again. Night approaching, and receiving no word from her betrayer, -she, under advice, procured a warrant for his arrest on the charge of breach of promise, seduction, and desertion.

It was then ascertained that he had lied the city on one of the evening trains of the Billi-more and Ohio railroad, thus leaving her in her unfortunate condition in-a strange place, without a friend or a dollar. Driven1 to madness by this unexpected ach5ge, the poor girl retired to her room at the hotel, procured an oune Of laudanum, which she swallowed at one dose. Her death would have inevitably followed but that her groans led to the discovery of her condition. Dr. T.

Miss Layne is a beautiful girl, eighteen years old, and evidently (judging from her general appearance and demeanor) of very respectable parentage.

(George W. Stoddarj), the excellent Mobile correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writes thus under date of May 28th: ILK .1 1'LY CONVENTION SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. The convention to appoint delegates, or decide not to appoint them, from this State to the July convention in New York, will meet in Montgomery next week. A very decided difference of opinion exists among ail classes of const rvative Southern men as to the wisdom of sending delegates to participate in the nomination of a candidate in whose election the Southern States can have no active part.

The warmth with which these differences of opinion is contested proves that the subject is regarded as one of much imjfortance. It is urged that tbe'great danger in Beading Southern delegates will be that they may be called up-ou to give the. casting vote between the conflicting claims of the North-and West, which, but for their presence in the convention, might be otherwise reconciled. According to present appearances, such an event is to be deprecated, ard might be followed by deplorable remits; while the most that could be made ot non-reptesentation of the South in the convention would be an accusation of in difl'erence to the fate of the Democratic party in the coming struggle an accusation that wouTd sound curiously to those who know that throughout all these suffer-ii and oppressed communities, hardly one decent, respectable white man can be found who docs not look forward with painful anxiety to that struggle, with the setilc-d conviction that upou its issue and upon the success of the Democratic party hang, not only the future welfare of the Sou'll, hut the momentous destinies of the Entire countiT. It will, therefore, be no feeling of indifference that will prevent Alabama from sending delegates, should she so decide, but rather an entire willingness to accept the candidate chosen by tl North nnd West, aad a belief that it would be dangerous for the South to act as umpire in settling the differences between those sections.

OBJECTION TO SOUTHERN VOTES. Should an Eastern or a Western man he nominated by the casting vote of the Scutb, that circumstance would probably not prevent him fiom receiving the united support of the two wings of the partj but he would have to bear the burden of being considered the Southern nominee. The Radicals would remove heave and earth to affix on him a stigma and reproach, as having been nominated by rebel ballots; from every stump of the canvassing circuit he would be proclaimed as the legitimate successor of Jeff, l'avis, and a popular cry would be raised which would answer the purpose of again arousing hatred against the South as ef- fectually as when fanaticism hoisted for its standard the blocdy negro shirt furnished by the Memphis and New Orleaus riots." t-urely the wise heads of the Democratic party should lake care not to give them such an opportunity. crops and early vegetation. Recent reports from many portions of tbe South, particularly of the Gulf States, lepresent the crop prospect as unusually encouraging forthis time of the season.

In Louisiana the cotton woim, or aiu.y worm as it is generally called, made its appearance in a number of parishes severel weeks ago, but its dep-redations were arrested by the dry weather which immediately followed, and it does not appear that serious apprehensions of danger from this pest are at present entertained.

Then this was a mere trading post; while upon the shores of the Upper Mississippi and the Missouri rivers there were no white settlements. Mr. B. af an early age engaged in the sole occupation of that time trading with Indians, and was widely known at Mackinaw and on the shores of Lake Huron, then the great field of commerce in furs. The war of 1812 closed the trade with tbe Indians of Canada, and Mr.

R. returned to St. Louis, became the pioneer in our Western trade, commencing with the Indians of the Missouri and extending to those ofLthe plains and mountains, and reaching the Spanish settlements in Mexico. Accumulating wealth, Mr. Rob-idoux determined to establish a post, in what was then known as the Blacksnake nills, and in pursuance of this determination, in 1838, he made pre-emptian claim to a quarter section of land and established a post, which be named St.

Joseph. Obtaining full title iff 1843, he had his quarter Bection surveyed into township lots, and by offering liberal inducements a colony scon gathered at Lis fort, which, when he died, had grown to a city of 25,000 inhabitants. During his long and eventful life, Mr. Bobidoux was known, Irom the Missouri river to the Rocky Mountains, as a clear, practical business man, of indomitable energy, possessing alt of the liberality and sturdy honor of a true Western pioneer. A long life of exertion was rounded by a few years of peaceful content and repose in the city wbifh ho had founded, and crowned with the friendly summons of the friend of age Death.

Some new evidence has come to light, which will probably give McKee his seat. Among other things, it appears that a law of Kentucky was violated throughout his district in the appointment of judges of election.

A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. There was a good deal of a scene in the Ilcuse, to-day, over questions of paying honor to ex President Buchanan. The Republicans wefe willing enough to indorse his private charadter and general public services, but Judge Woodward insisted upon an indorsement of his political motives at the outbreak of the war, ai this a decided majority refused, to give. Woodward was appealed to by Mr. Stevens to withdraw this clause, but he stubbornly declined so doing.

His resolutions were finally tabled by nearly two to une. Mr. Blaine then tried to get one of a moderate style, but the Democrats thinking they could make a point that would tell against the Republicans, objected. At "a later hour of tbe day Mr. Broomall, however, presented one which was agreed to, simply appointing a committee to attend the funeral, and the matter was thus settled.

Mr. Partridge is a gentleman, and his many friends will sympathize with him in the hope that he may not be thus sffiicted again.

The Cornier says: I.eRoy C. Partridge, a prominent and influential resident of Seneca Falls and the Viee-PreBident of the First National Bank at that place, and also connected with a bank at Ovid and otherwise largely interested in the business interests of that place, made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide at the Syracuse House, in tbis city, at an early hour yesterday morning sometime after midnight of Saturday and before daylight of Sunday morning under the most unexplainable circumstances. Mr. Partridge came to this city on Sat urday afternoon, and about 9 oclock the same evening entered the office ot the hotel, where he registered his name, apparently in excellent health and spirits, took a room tor the night, asking to be cal'ed in the morning in time for the train going west. He remained up, engaged in writing several letters and conversing with the clerk, until about 2 oclock A.

when he retired to his room, No. 42, apparently cheerful and as well as common. In the morning whpn the porter ascended to room 42 to call its occupant he tailed to get a response to his alarm at the door; and, taking hold of the knob to shale it, the door flew open, and the crier discovered that there was blood ia the bed The sight so terrified him that he rush-J down stairs, and in great alarm informed others of the house, who immediately went to the room aud found its oi enfant in a sad condition. He had rut his left arm at the wris, inflicting three gashes, deep enough td cause the b'oed to flow slowly. He said to those who gathered about his -bed that after doirg this he turned his arm over and in a short time went to sleep; but on wakiug up he found that he had not cut deep enough to accomplish what he desired, and he commenced to inflict other wounds upon his body to carry out his original intention.

There were several small wounds on his I3Tt side over the heart, but the most serious one was across the throat, nearly severing the windpipe, which caused labored breathiug that threatened to be effectually stopped at almost any moment. Ir. W. H. Hoyt, who was in his room at the Syracuse House at tbe time, was first called, and Dr.

Stuart immediately sent for. They found it a very serious affair, but not hopeless. Last evening they reported that he was doing well, and thought he would recover. The means employed to inflict these wounds on his person was a small penknife. He says he vas perfectly aware of what be was doing, and yesterday morning stated that he desired to live.

The victim marched in by torchlight at the appointed hour, and taking his seat on the pavement, commenced a kind of death song, in a droning, monotonous recitative, intoned in alow but most pathetic voice. Meanwhile his own servant stood silently behind him with a keen, double handed sword. The condemned man having finished his chanting drew a kDife, and with two strokes ripped open his belly. The sword bearer then swung his weapon, and the head of the victim fell upon the pavement. The fcctotcrs gid officials sooa withdrew and the corpse was taken up bjtlja.

Across this stream there has been a bridge for the accommodation of the scholars and others. The heavy rains have swollen theVfeek to an unusual depth recently.

Gn Wednesday a large number, mostly of the primary children of the school, congregated on this bridge to watch the passage of the water bmeatb. Probably -the timber of the bridge was decayed; tat all events tbe weight of children was 'too much for its strength and a portion of it fell, precipitating fifteen children into the water. The ires of the childien in the yard brought 1. teachers of the school Misses Seeber, Morton and Lpac to the scene of danger, where so many helpless ones were struggling in the watery element, lustead of screaming or faintiug away, they at once addressed themselves to the task of rescuing the children.

Not only 19 the document lame in style and weak in substance, but it takes issue with facts known to almost every officer and private who participated En the buttle. With a recklessness, only equalled by his carelessness before the battle, Gen. Grant makes statements which must be refuted, unless every man with whom we have conversed is strangely at fault.

The official report says: On morning our pickets were attacked and driven in by the enemy. Immediately the five divisions stationed at this place were drawn up iu line of battle ready to meet them. 1 his is a denial of what bas been asserted by every correspondent that has written a letter, and every soldier that has related his observations. One very important item the General overlooked altogether. Ue fails to inform us where he was when the battle commenced, the time he arrived on the battle-field, and the length of time that elapsed from the beginning of the Strug gle until he was pre-ent in person to direct the movement of his troops.

He neglected to say that he was in comfortable quarters at Savannah when the cannonade was heard, that his boat leisurely made her way to Pittsburg, passing Gen. allace division without leaving any orders as to the course he should pursue, and arrived at the battle-field five hours after the fight had been raging. It will take a keen eye to detect facts of this character in Grant's report. He lacks the candor of a McDowell. He cant bear to say what his reputation as an officer demands should remain unsaid.

Our understanding of the matter (and our conclusions are drawn from the testimony of those having excellent opportunities of knowing the truth of their statements) is that Gen. Wallace received no order to march during the day, that on hearing the firing his division was formed in line of and waited several hours for orders; receiving none it started ithout orders, and arrived on the battle-field late in tbe evening. Congress bas, however, taken hold of tbis matter, and the facts will be brought to light. We have had sufficient blundering, one otfid think, to demand that tbe guilty shall be punished. If our officers are iNci-urtTKXT or careless, let 1 luim be essGH-red.

After months of physical pain and mental ture, he succumbed to the disease which he intentionally aggravated by his determined avoidance of sustaining food, and found in the county jail yesterday the death he so earnestly courted. After the commission of the deed attributed to his hand and it is hardly pbs-sible that he was falsely accused life him, a miserable felon, hunted down from place to place, became a burden; and evn the brief respite of two years or more which he had from close pursuit was not to be enjoyed, for his guilty consoienc could not be silenced, bat ia spite of all bis cunning woald conjure up in his distracted mind a thonsand terrors of tha law reveDge, and he knew well that, go where he would, the British Government would some day find him. His fear of apprehension was realized on the 25th of last February. He was token by officer of ti Central Avenue Police District, and confined for several days in ths different stations. Within the Ninth Street Prison bars he made an umuccessful attempt at suicide by cutting his throat, a few day after bis arrest, and was removed for treatment to the Commercial Hospital.

Before these officers arrived, Ross com- menced to convalesce very rapidly, and would have entirely recovered in a few weeks; but, when brought to trial before Judge Leavitt of the United States Court, and wheu folly identified by the Constable Rooney, of Dublin, as the murderer, for whom the British Government had offered a heavy reward, he completely collapsed, and from that time until the day of his death went steadily downward Feeling that he had no means of eicaping death, he resolved to die by starvation rather than betaken back to Ireland, and thenceforward refused all food until driven by the pangs of hunger to accept a little nourishment. This system hastened the progress of hepatization of the liver, a disease with which he had been for some time suffering, and the two combined ct. iieed his death yesterday alternoon at I oVicck. arri AG Extraordinary.

One of the most magnificent events of the season came off yesterday, being the marriage of Jennie It. Wolf, daughter of Daniel Wolf, the well-known Councilman of the. Fifth Ward, to Herman S. Mack, a wholesale dry-goods dealer of Milwaukee. The ceremony was performed about 3 o'clock, at Mr.

A large gathering was present. At 11 a procession, consisting of Trustees o( 'he Association of Students of the Chicago Uninersity and a portion of the Germania Maennerchor, headed by Rev. Drs. Haven and Burrows, marched up the steps of the mausoleum. The Meanner-chor sang tbe hymn.

It is the Lord's Own Day, by C. Kreutzer, when Dr. Burrows the 90th Psalm. Rev. Haven, I.

LL.D., made a prayer, and the Maennerchor sung What Beams So Bright. The iron casket was then removed from tbe grave to the sarcophagus by Messrs. Isaac M. Diller, John M. Wilson, David Gage, John M.

Turner, Samuel W. Fuller, S. W. Volk, Walter B. Scates, and P.

C. Sherman. Stephen A. Douglas, Jr, accompanied by Mr. Skates, followed the corpse, and behind them were two students, bearing a cross and circle of ca-nielias and evergreens.

The casket, covered with a Bilk fiag, was laid on ths sarcophagus, and the iron plate was removed, exposing the face of the corpse, and the cross and circle laid on the casket. A rope was put up, dividing the opening into an entrance ai.Jex and the spectators wer, allowed ro ot t-r -ind view the remains. The tomb, which is about eighteen feet high, was hung with American flags, covered with black. The sarcophagus stands in the center, and of beautiful Vermont marble, seven feet long and four feet in each end of which is a raised scroll, aud which inclines from the end up to the center, on which is placed a marble bust of Mr. Douglas.

At the left side of the sarcophagus stands a black walnut pedestal, highly carved and inlaid with gold," on which is a marble vase, filled with choice flowers. The Kingston Murder. A portion of the cireumstaBces which led to the arrest of Mr. Samuel Andrews as the supposed murderer of Mr. Cornelius Holmes lyive come to ligbL It is said that he had appointed a meeting of the teachers in the Sunday school to which he belonged at his residence on the evening when the murder was committed, but that he did not attend it himself, being, as he alleces.

at work in his garden, which is about fifty reds from tbe spot where the tragedy took place. His wife says that he was very restless on the night of the murder, butMr. Andrewss demeanor at present is quite calm and confident. It is also said that the will of Mr. Holmes had been made, and that Mr.

Andrews would have received about $12,000 from his death. But the strongest evidence appears to be that the vest of the accused is stained with blood. Mr. Andrews explains this by saying that it is the blood of chickens which he had been killing. It is said, howexar, that the stains have been submitted to a microscopical and chemical examination, and that they prove to be human blood.

Ail this is of course simply report, and it is difficult to say how much of it is true, or susceptible of proof if true. Boston Advertiser, 2d. From tLc Giuclunati Kmpurer of yestenlay. Ihe following dispatch was telegraphed to the Associated Press of the country from St. Louis ou Tuesday: Several citizens of St.

Louis, headed by Ben DeBar, of DeBars Opera house, yesterday telegraphed to the New York Clipper that parties here who were at Cold Springs, Indiana, on Wednesday last, testify on oath that about half past two oclock Coburn came within half a mile of the ring; that Johnny Franklin approached him, bringing.with him Sheriff Arnold; that Johnny told the Sheriff to arrest Coburn; that the Sheriff replied he had no writ, whereupon Franklin produced tbe document from his pocket, and op that, whatever it was, the Sheriff' took him away; and further, that Chief of Police Ruffiujof Cincinnati, is ready to testily on oath that be was offered one thousand dollais by Coburn's friends to procure the arrest-of McCoole. This statement is false in every particular. In the first place Mr. Franklin never bad a warrant for the arrest of Coburn in his possession, and in the second place he was not within a quarter of a mile of Coburn when the writ was served. Moreover, Chief of Police Ruffin positively denies ever having been offered any money to procure tbe arrest of Coburn.

The only conversation he had with Mr. Franklin concerning the fight was when the latter ftdd him that, if the fight did not come off, he (Franklin) as treasurer of the funds, would see that those persons purchased tickets should nave their money refunded. Mr. Ruffin coincided with Mr. Franklin in his remarks, and, at tbe request of the latter.

promised to sustain him in it. There is a stroDg probubiliry that the arrest of both McCoole and Cqliurn was a set-up job, but we are stfeisfied that neither Chief Ruffitt cor MA Franklin had anything lo dq with it I An Eutrees Floored Eugenie was recently witnessing a military review at Rennes, walking about the field, curious, juesticning, amused and careless, when, it having rained ia the morning, all at once, great emotion 1 Her Majestys foot slipped on the wet grass, and there she was laughing heartily at a slight fall, although do one around her dared to smile.
