ftOWARD, COMMERCIAL, SPECIAL NOTICES. THE DAILY COURIEE. Sequel to the Late Tragedy BURIAL OF THE FOUR NEGROES. Charge Wc erred slightly yesterday morning in sta- ting the point that caused Ihe acquittal i the murderers of the Joyce family. The following charge to the jury, by Judge Bullock, viH x-plain it.

rlhe Court instructs the jury: 1 That it is incumbent upon the State to make out the guilt of the accused by competent and testimony beyond a reasonable doubt. 2. That such a doubt iu reference to any material fact or circumstance necessary to establish the gu It of the accused, entitles them or either them to an acquittal. 3. That it is the duty of the jury to receive the testimony of an accomplice with great caution, having reference to his moral cbaracter, to the circumstances in which he is placed, his condition in life, and the manner in which his testimony has been elicited.

4. A conviction cannot be had upon the testimony of an accomplice, unless corroborated by other evidence tending to connect the defendants, or either of them, with the commission of the offence; and the corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows that the offence was committed and the circumstances thereof. The corroborating evidence required by the law must connect the accused with the doing of the deed itself beyond a reasonable doubt. r- 5. That if jury find that Bill, the accomplice, deliberatelyand wilfully swore falsely to any material fact upon iiie rral, hia testimony upon tha whole case should be disregarded.

That, although they may believe that the statements heretofore made by the witness Sill, touching the murder, accord with hia testimony ugainst the accused, yet such agreement of hiB statements with his evidence is no corroboration of his testimony, and must not be received by them. Electioia for RaSlroad Tax Col-Sector. The election for Railroad Tax Collector in the Eastern District, takes place to-day. Mr. Thos.

T. Summets, who has heretofore filled the office most faithfully and efficiently, is a candidate, and if his friends go to the polls and do their duty, they can easily elect him. He will make an efficent oncVr'and we hope to see him chosen. CTThe Journal complainingly alludes to the fact that small boys were active participators in the mob Thursday night. And pray, Mr.

Jour-nil, be so good as to tell us who inaugurated this sad state of affairs? Who but Know Noth inn- buUies and leaders gave these youthful rowdies and ruffians their teste for rioting and blood! Thursday night experience was but a natural consequence of the introduction of these precocious songsters to "Sara," and the instrue-i tion they received to the effect that it was glorious sport to thoot down, murder and burn inoffensive Dutchmen and Irishmen.

It con fains all the nercs of the week, besides a large amount of miscellaneous matter, market reports For sale at the clerk's desk, enveloped, at five oents peT copy. Our Outside Pages.

The reader should never fail to examine our first and fourth pages. On them this morning will be found several columns of interesting miscellany, tales, news, items, river intelligence Our Extra Editions Yesterday. The na-rative of the terrible occurrences of Thursday night, as published in the Courier yesterday morning, was more accurate, complete and full than was to be found in any of our contemporaries. As a consequence, the demand for the Courier was unprecedented, and it continued throughout the entire day. Four different times were we compelled to put our forms on the press, and, notwithstanding our rapid steam press was put to its utmost speed, we were compelled to disappoint hundreds of applicants.

In consequence of the repeated applications for papers after our last edition had been exhausted, we this morning publish on our foutrh page the matter in reference to the riot that appeared in the Courier yesterday. This, with what additional we give this morning, will make our de tail of the occurrences quite complete. The 3Iob Thursday Night. The deepest indignation was expressed throughout the city yesterday, by all classes, at the miserable and criminal inefficiency of the city authorities and the police, as exhibited du" ring Thursday evening and night, while the city was for several hours under the control of an cited and infuriated mob. The men upon whom our citizens supposed they might rely (luring such emergencies have shown themselves to be utterly incompetent and unfit tor their position.

It will scarcely be credited abroad that up to this hour not a single arrest of any of the parties engaged in the outrageous violation of law has been made, nor can we hear that the sl'ghtest efforts are being made to arrest the perpetrators and have them punished. We wish ourcitizens to ponder well this state of and to ask themselves if it does not behoove them to apply some effective remedy, and that speedily. Improved Soda Water and Mead. Mr. H.

Preissler, the well known druggist on Market street, between Fourth and Fifth, has put in operation Dr Nicholas patent apparatus for the production of carbonic acid gas for soda water. It is a most ingenious contrivance for furnishing at will, in compact space, and to a great extent, purest cirbonic acid gas. By its inlroduc tion he is prepared to furnish those summer drinks, soda and mead, in purity and perfection. In this new patented process the water is charged with carbonic acid gas, made directly from pure carbonate of soda, which gas is wished before it goes into the fountain, so that no foreign or offensive matter is allowed to mix witii the water. When manufactured it has a peculiarly sparkling appearance and contains just the amount of carbonic acid requisite to give it that quality, which makes this kind of soda acceptable to the palate.

The appartus is an ingenious contrivance and worth an examination. Those who desire to procure superior soda and mead, will thank us for directing them to visit Mr. Preissler. Church Notices. 0Rev.

No undue excitement was perceivable in regard to the dreadful tragedy, but all appeared to submit to the ruling of the mob, though all good citizens thought and felt that such things should not be. No matter how great the offense, or how damning the deed, the supremacy of the law should have been mains tained, and not entrusted to the hands of a law less mob. The report current yesterday, that the mob offered indignity in any respect to Judge Bui' lock, is, we are informed, without founda.

tion. Subjoined is the full confession of Pendleton's negro man, Bill, together with the statements of the two 'negro men of the Messrs. Samuels. This was taken at the time they were first ar rested and examined in the county, after the va rious articles of wearing apparel, money, watches and jewelry, of the murdered family, had been found in the cabin of Bill Pendleton. The examination was made before ten men, ap pointed by the Sheriff, and -the subjoined states ments and confession were taken down at the time by one of the members of the committee.

When in the hands of his executioners, the rope around his neck, and the full consciousness that his last moment had arrived. Bill again said that his previous confessions were true, and admitted his guilty participation in the arson, robbery and murder.

The following is Bill Pendleton's confession. He the property of David Pendleton, of Bullitt county, Geo. Samuels came to our house on Sunday, abouf, one or two weeks previous to the murder, and asked me if I had any Christmas moaey. I told him I some, I asited him it he had auv; tie said no, but was going to have some soon. I asked him how he was going to get it.

he said he was going to ourn Mr. Joyce's house. That occurred on the day we made the plot. He (Gaonre) had been out gunning with hU master's gun, and bad killed one rabbit. On the night of the murder Geo.

and Jack Samuels cameto thebackpart of our field about 9 or9o'clock and hallooed. I went out to them; asked if they were going down there; said yes they thought Mr. Joyce bad money; we went down the hill near Jovce house; there Dill Brown met us: then went the house, looked in the window; saw the family all in bed and probably asleep; ail had clubs; and Jack had hand-axe. George then went to thf door, pushed it open a little, found a cbair against it; put ina hand in, and moved the cnair. George nrst went iu struck Richard once, kiu.

him I believe. Jack followed, George turned and struck the old adv. Mrs. Lidi.i Joyce, one blow. She fell out of bed: sbegot up, went to the fire place and squatted down; Mrs.

Welch woke up; Jack hit her with a rlub. bhe came to. went and sat down by her iiother, Mrs. Joyce, at the fire place. George and Jack vent to plundering.

I and Bill Brown had een standing outside doors an the time to watch Bi 1 Brown then went in, weut to fire place stood awhile, then commenced plundering; Mrs. Welch's jliild wose. who was sleeping between the old lady and ita mother; Mrs, Joyce went back and got in bed; Mrs. Welch called, "Mother?" the mother answered, "What do yon want," Mrs. Welch said, i You know what 1 want.

Mrs. Jovce got up, 1 went back and sat down by the fire place beside her daughter; the child asked if we wete making a fire; (no reply,) had got through plundering; then hre to Hichaid Joj'cs oeu; took lot or newspapers, put them at foot cf the other bed, in which the child was sitting up. The child smiled, if it appeared to be amused at the we then out as as the yard gate, when lieorge and Jack said, lBy boys, it won't do to leave them, they wUftell on us." George and Jack then went back; Jack went in first, had hand axe; struck Mrs. Welch on the forehead with it; follow ed; struck Mi-h. Joyce a club on the head; lie and Mrs.

Welch both fell over as if dead, they then pulled the door afrer them and left. I got one pair pataloons, one black cloth coat, velvet collar i acit outtons, one DiacK saua vest, one uiacK ilk cravat, with green spots in it, two silver watch es and steel watch key, one pair kid gloves, two boxes gun caps, one music box. George Samuels got one silk dress, don't recollect what color, and some other articles, which he put in the sleeves of the dress, don't know what they were, and one aoiiar Din, torn hail iu two, out of a pocket book which was in th trunk. Jack Samuels got, a believe it was calico, he said afterward it wa? and other things which he put in the dress, uon't Know wuat they were, and about three dollars and iitty cents monev, out ot Richard Joyce's pocket book which was in his pan? faloons' pocket. Hill Brown got pair earrings and a breast pin, which were in a small box, and that was all he got, that I know of.

Cross Examined I got the watches out of the same trunk that George got the one dollar bill from. It was setting to one side of the door, and when George commenced plundering he pushed this trunk out in tront ot the dor nrst, then took the shovel and broke it open, took nothing but the money, and then went searching other places; appeared to be after nothing bnt money. I then stepped inside to the trunk and took the coat, pants, ana things out oi u. we weut about sixty or seventy yards from the house and stopped, and the conversation was: "KeeD se cret boys hide well, Jack and George went owaids their homes and land om Brown went to wards ours. We went about a quarter of a mile before we parted.

Nothing more was said between us. We threw the clubs tneurepiace. Jack toon the hand-axe borne with him. The plot was made about one or two weeks before the murder happened We diun know that William Joyce was gone trom heme; thought that it was mm in bed until a'ter Richard was killed. We had no animosity against the family whatever; we knew them all very well.

1 cut three hickory clubs some time before for the purpose. They were about two and a half feet long and about as thick as my arm. Bill Brown picked up a sugar-tree club after we got to Mr. Joyce's woodpile. I put the things which I got in a bag that I had taken along.

When got home I put them all under the floor of the cabin which I stay in, except the watch, watch-key, 2 boxes gun caps, and the gloves. The gloves and key I kept in my pocket. Georce Samuel's Conlbssion. The following is George Samuel's statement. He is the property of Lewis Samuels, of Bullitt county, Kentucky: On the night of the fire I was out coon hunting; treed an opossum; couldn't get it; went home, got and went back, but didn't get It then; we started home again; on the way we can ah a coon; when we got home Jack Samuels was there in the corner asleep; I threw the coon in his lap which woke him; I asked him what he was doing there; he said he was not doing anything; he helped skin the coon, and then started home to Hiram Samuels'; this was about midnight.

Cross Examined: When I was arrested I said I was not going to savth.it I did or did not know who done the murder, and if Jack didn't mind he would catch himself. I saw Bill Pendleton on Sunday, about one or two weeks before the murder. I had been out hunting, and stopped there at Bill's house; I had master's double barrelled gun, and had killed one rabbit and killed another one after I left there; Bill said to me that his master-David didn't want me nor Jack to come about the place; that jJack bad taken a butcher knife from there once; he asked me if I had any money; I told him I had a quarter; I asked him if he hud any, and he showed me three or four dollars in silver. Jack Samuel's Confession. The following is Jack Samuels' statement.

He is the property of Hiram Samuels, Bullitt county: I went from Mr. Steel's to Lewis Samuels' last Thursday night, sat down by the fire and went to sleep. I was woke up by George throwing a coon in my face. I helped skin the coon and started home to Hiram Samuels'. When I got within about one hundred yards of our house, I met Bill Pendleton and Bill Brown.

We set down and talked awhile, and I asked them where they were going. They said that they wer2 going down to 11 George to Keep them things he got trom mil Joyce a secret until after Christmas, and then they would go to Canada. I went on home then. When I got in bed the clock struck one. Cross Examined.

I saw the light of the fire just before I met the two boys. I asked them what fire it was; they said they had murdered Mrs. Joyce's family and set fire to the house to hide the deed. Bill Pendleton said he had got the coat and pants of Mr. Joyce's.

I never asked them whether George was in the scrape or not, nor said anything about the murder. The committee also examined Bill Brown, but his statements were so contradictory that they conclu ded to make no note of his confession. He wouldn't or couldn't recollect any transaction that occurred at the time, until confronted with Bill Pendleton. He then corroberated several of the statements of the other, but persisted denying any participation tue murder. Man Drowned Suicide.

We learn from the officers of the Statesman that a young man of the name of PoincUxter drowned himself by jumping over board from the hurricane deck of the boat, when about fourmilcs ahove Henderson He got on the boat at Newburg and left a letter with the Captain of the boat, in which he avowed his determination ta drown himself, as he was tired of life. He leaves a brother and sisters in this vicinity, and imputes the deed to dissipation and the influence of B. F. Wigert of Lexington. the time that many parents were filling cups of sorrow for themselves by the license they were giving their children, and time will yet attest the truth of the warning.

The Duel. The hostile meeting between Mr. Eltas Lawrence and Mr. John Owings, of this city, took place in Virginia, above the mouth of Big Sandy, on Thursday morning at 5 o'clock. Six shots were exchanged without either party being hit.

A terrible thunder storm prevailed during the progress of the fighi. Alter the sixth fire the matter was adjusted; but we are not informed as to the mode or basis of the settlement. Both of the gentlemen aTe men of known courage and fine shots, and it was sup- posed the meeting would have been attended wifh fatal result. They shot badly or bore charm ed lives. City Council.
