D. Brndley had for some time been paying Ins attention to Miss JJora, the daughter of P. H. Thomas. A short time ago Bradley asked Thomas' consent to marry bis daughter, which he positive ly refused. The daughter being of age, and of a different mind, the couple es caped and were married. They then went to the bouse oi a mutual iriend, and a relative of the bride, named George Head aiJ i-oaseJ the night there. Early this morning Thomas, missing his daughter, immediately surmised what bad taken place, leftthe house in searnl-rliroTi bearing wun mm a oouoie-oarreiea snot gun, stopping at several places to procure some buckshot for the purpose, as he said, of shooting a "d d dog" with." After procuring the shot, and avowing tne pur pose lor wuicu iney were to oe used, anu being implored not to do anything of the kind, he foll07.ed the bride and her unfor tuhate husband to the residence of Head, entering which, he leveled his gun at Mr. Head, commanding him to reveal the whereabouts of the couple. Mr. Head, of course, could do nothing but tell him they were in the next rrora. Bradley and his wile having seen ber lather approach ing, and tearing that a difficulty would re suit if they met, Bradley promised his wife that he would not injure her father. Deciding to avoid a meeting, Bradley left by a door leading into the garden, leav ing behind him a double-barreled gun which he knew was loaded, and endeav- ored to escape. Thomas at this moment entered the room which Bradley had just jell, Ult, 44tlU OClll .UiaUtT UUIIUI! window, started in pursuit. Reaching the door when Bradley was within ten paces of the garden gate, and about the same distance from him, he discharged one barrel, the charge striking his victim in the head, and almost immediately firing the second time, the charge striking him in the side. Bradley tell, then arose and staggered to the gate, where he stood a moment, then tailing to the ground corpse.

She was noun th Revolution, nor acquainted with Wash ington, but she was present at the wed ding dinner of President Madison. Bob Smith, who is reported to have three wives, and has killed eight men finished his career of crime by killing Dr. Goodley, of Fostervill, Anderson county, Texas. He was on trial before a justice of the peace at Fosterville, and under guard of three men. On last Friday night, otu insu, about iu o clock, th guard was overpowered, and Smith'i course of crime ended by his being sus pended to a rafter. A hostile meeting, in which a few drops of blood was spilled, occurred LUiton, via., last Saturday, une man with an emigrant wagon, which contained his wife and several nearly frozen chil dren, stopped his team to whip his wife; another man, passing by at the time, re belled at tne wnipping, wnen both men pitched into each other. The last we saw ofthe party, the would-be wife-whipper. with his arms (listened, was calling for a marshal to preserve the sanctity of his domestic relations. A fatal row occurred in Adams' grocery, near Cochran's Mills, Marshall county, Tenn., Wednesday afternoon. Richmond Rambo and a man namod Edmunson, had been playing cards in a blacksmith shop. and some misunderstanding arose about the game. Xhey subsequently went to Adams' grocery, where the quarrel cul minated in a deadly contest. Both men drew their pistols and fired almost simul taneously. This was followed by a scuf fle or sort of hand-to-hand fight, in which Edmunson was mortally stabbed by Joby Rambo, a brother of Richmond. He lived only a short time after the cutting took place.

He was dead, and his clothes was entirely burned to a crisp. There was a ghastly wound, where the whole load of shot had entered the head under the left ear. The corpse lay on its back, and the powder-flask and ramrod were laying off a few feet from the body. It is supposed he was loading the guii. as the gun had only a load of powder in one barrel. The other had been dis charged. The body was found about two miles from tbe mines, on the bank of the river. KESXLX'KY SUM S.

Uscar Barnlnli, residing near Lagrange, owns a dog that has endeared himself to his master by his sagacious usefulness. A few days ago while gather ing ice, it was necessary to cut it and move it down the creek about twenty yards, where it was loaded upon wagons, After cutting, an ice-hook would be at tached to a piece, tbe dog then taking hold of the hook would draw it to the place of loading.

The Grangers of a Madison county lodge lecently passed the following reso lution!: That we, as members of this Grnng, pledge ourselves that we will con tinue our patronage to such railroads af may nake arrangements with our State agents to carry freights at reduced rates, and that it is expected that all true mem bers of our order will do the same, and faithfully adhere to this course in its true spirit Wir. Bland, one of the rioters of Lan caster last September, has just been sen tenced to three yearB' imprisonment in the penitentiary. A correspondent of the Danville Advocate, writing of the sen tence, says: The verdict of the jury sent a thrill of joy to the heart of every good, law-abidmg citizen, and in their faces shone forth the smile or approval as if to say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servants." One light last week the house of Mrs. Murphy, a very old nnd helpless lady, was entered by a couple of ruffians, who, with threats of burning the house down, demandedall the money in her possession, which was promptly given them. The old lady was living alone in the house with her daughter. The next day she died from the effects of the fright re ceived Her murderers got but a dollar and tei cents. A gentleman riding along the road one diy saw a man busily engaged dig ging in the corner of a fence. "What are you digging after?" he asked. "A woodchuck," he replied. "What are you going to do"with it?" "Eat it we are out of meat." The nomination of John S. Williams for Governor would look deucedly like the Democratic par ty of Kentucky was out of meat and had to fall back on woodchuck. If vie could purchase General Wil liams at his actual value and 6ell him for what he thinks he is worth, we'd invest not more than a cancelled Con federate postage stamp, realize enough to make every man in Ohio county a present of a wagon-load of twenty dol lar gold pieces, and then have enough left to enable us to live like a prince. For the poor privilege of osculating that portion of old "Cerro Gordo's" an atomy that vacates the chair last, a writer in the Paris True Kentuckian des ignates as "barking curs" those editors who oppose his master's elevation to the office of Governor. All right. Bow wow-wow! When the time comes that midges can be palmed off on the people for eagles, "Cerro Gordo" Williams will be elected Governor of Kentucky. We reiterate that our opposition to General Williams is not of a personal nature. "We have lived his neighbor and have no complaint to make of his treatment of us as between man and man, and vc are pretty confident he cannct complain ot usin our social in tercourse. As a plain citizen ot Mont gomery county, we have no objection to him. He is as good as some of his neighbors, and not as good as some others of them. In that regard we are alike. But because he is a good citi zen of Montgomery county doesn't nec essarily qunlify him for the position of Governor of Kentucky. His friends may manufacture of him the hero of two wars. We do not object to that. Chaatna sons govt, as the good old French woman said when she kissed the cow. But suppose his single arm decided the tide of combat at Cerro Gordo suppose that, single and alone, he captured the Halls of the Moote- zumas suppose that incorrect history has accorded to Lee, and Joies'stos, and Cleburne, and Hood, iame that rightfully' belongs to General Williams what the deuce has that iotfo Trith. th Governorship of Ken tucky? Grant, even General Wil liams himself can afford to admit, was a passable soldier, yet look what a poor excuse for a President he makes. The truth is General Williams lacks sta bility of thought and decision of char acter; he lacks dispassionate jildgment; le lacks an equable temper; he is in firm of purpose; he is not a Democrat; save by profession; he wants order and method; he is puffed up and egotistical, he is naturally and essentially an ar istocrat; ho has no feeling, sentiment or sympathy in consonance with the masses ofthe" people; he is the friend and admirer of GeneralJoiiN S. Wil liams only. We know these things of lam: we know mm like a book: we know him better than he knows him self. He is the capital "I" in the al phabet of humanity. And we take the liberty of opposing him because we know all this of him, and we are not aware of any law human or divine not even in tho General Statutes of Kentucky that deprives us of that privilege. TIIE PLAIN TRUTH OF IT. Father Stack, a prominent and learietl clergyman of the Roman Cath olic Church, lias taken a strong and just ground against the usurpations of power by the Roman Catholic Bishops in America. I hey are no more nor less than tyrants of their several bish- op'rics. And the laity are arrant fools to submit to their dictation. In all cc clesiastical matters, their rulings are and should be potential with all true Catholics. But when they leave the ecclesiastical sphere, and take to in termeddling with the every-day affairs of Catholics dictating to them what social society they should or should not attach themselves to what schools thev should or should not send their children to and all that sort of thing. then thev become impertinent, and ought to be treated as their impertt nance dtserves. And to have an im pudent little priest come poking his nose into one's private affairs, obtruding advice where it is neither asked for nor wanted, and have them, in case one did not see cause to follow the ad vice thus impudently volunteered, to suspended onefrom practising the observances ofthe church, is a little too much of a good thing. .Tt is higl time that some good priest who can command the attention ofthe Catholic public should awaken the laity to sense of the impositions being put upon them by impertinent and meddlesome Bishops and clergymen. The staunch Democracy of Scott county met Monday, appointed dele gates to the May Convention, and in structed for Stoddard Johnston for Governor. Keno's correct. The Paris True Kentuckian, in en deavoring to manufacture a great man out of General Williams, has under taken a feat a good deal like whittlin a Colossus of Rhodes out of a brickbat, ErniER of these two tickets would suit us excellently "well: Stoddard Johnston for Governor, and J. Q. A King for Lieutenant Governor; or B. McCbeary for Governor, and George Barer for Lieutenant Gover nor. Brother Haynes, of the Litchfield Herald, rears back on his "paster-j'ints. and swears it.twwn'f egg-nog the lady sent him, which narrows the issue down to the question: Then where did he get the red flannel to wrap his eyes in Christmas day? It's the fashion to get off this kind of stuff: "Man goes out into the widej wide world to battle and die; ana wo man stays at home to make him glad of it." Which i3 sheer nonsense. Wo man stays at homo to sew on his but tons and darn his socks; but she has her rcvencc in snankiujc the baby. I THE PROPER REMEDY. The intelligence telegraphed over the country yesterday of the new ouj rage perpetrated upon the sovereignty of another Southern State by the mili tary arm of the government, will tend to exasperate the Southern people, and re-awaken with increased Intensity the indignation of the.honest.and patriotic masses oflhe North, against the extra ordinary conduct of the drunken fool at the head of our national affairs. There is a lesson in all this. Biiaks- fere furnished us the key to it hun dreds of years ago when he gave voice to the sentiment that vaulting ambition often o'erleaps itself. Grant has but two governing passions: J;irst, to re tain control of the patronage of the government; second, to get drunk. It was asserted and on Republican au thority that he was drunk when he approved General Sheridan's conduct at New Orleans. That was a most miserable excuse But the man can't be drunk always. There was more in it than the stubborn folly of a drunken man. There was so much more in it than that, that we" exhort our Southern brethren to bridle their just indignation; to permit their liberties, stricken Ho wn by this ruthless monster, to lie yet a little while longer bleeding upon the ground. Grant is but a tool in the hands of men abler, wiser and more reckless than himself scoundrels who woulk trade upon the generous and pa triotic impulses ofthe people of the North, and goad the people of the South to that pitch of desperation when reason flees and the brute instinct of self-defense assumes its vacated throne. The assiasaination of a creature like idan would be a godsend to them. The firing a volley upon a squad of Federal soldiers would be the very thing they thirst for. JJa not gratify them, O ill-used South! The remedy for such high crimes in the President and his advisers does not consist in a resort to arms. Ours is not an oppressive monarchy to over throw we have no despot to chase from a throne. Our organic law af- lorus as all the remedy we desire or need. The South has suffered much and Buffered long. She can afford to suffer on for another year, and then the PEOPLe will redress her grievances, will right all her wrongs. The ballot-box, and not the bullet and bayonet is the proper remedy. The ballot is noiseless astheTarimg snow, anu tails with as little weight as the thistle-down, but it wields a power mightier than that of any crowned monarch, nnd effects revc- hit ions that trained armies often fail to accomplish. Let the South abide with patience the intervention of this voicelessjbloodless, nvenger.and all will be well with her. Then, indeed, from the garden of her tribulation will spring the flower of joy. Suttose plain John Smith had come the bayonet dodge over the Louisiana Legislature instead of Pinup Regis De Trobriand. The devil would have been to pay, and the Federal govern ment, at this blessed moment, engaged in heating the pitch. Luckily for us all, a romantic name U a shield of Achiu.es that preserves its bearer from the poignarda ofthe sentimental "ban ditti" of New Orleans. The Cincinnati Times is mistaken. No "high-bom Southern lady" would be guilty of writing to Siierdoan. One of the other sort would hesitate before so disgracing herself. GOD'S TRUTH. That venerable wheel-horse of the temperance cause in this section, Judge Lawton, has placed us under obliga tions by furnishing us with the follow ing document. "Wo want every man. woman and child in Ohio county to read it. Especially do wo want every man if any such there be in the coun ty engaged in the whisky-selling bu siness to read it. Never was the truth more pointedly and forcibly stated. It is the language" used to a couple of sa loon keepers, convicted of selling whis ky to minors, by Judge Reading, of Illinois, in passing sentence upon them, He said: By the law you may sell to men and women, if they will buy. You have giv en your bond, and paid for your license to sell to them, and no one has a right to molest you in your legal business. No mutter what the conseouence may be. no matter what poverty and destitution are produced by telling according u law.yon have paid your money ior mis privilege, and von are licensed to pursue your call- in!!-. No matter what families are dia tracted and rendered miserable; no matter what wives are treated with violence, what children starve or mouru over the degra dation of a narent. your business is leeal ized, and no one may interfere with you in iL No matter what mother may ag onize over the loss of a eon, or sister blush for the shame of a brother, you have a right to disregard them all and pursue vonr leral calling; you are licensed. You may fit up your lawful place of business in the most enticing and captivating form; you may furnish it with the most costly and elegant equipments for your lawful trade; you may nu it wua an tue allure ments to amusement; yon may use all your arts to induce visitors; you may skillfully arrange and expose to view your choicest wines and most captivatiug beverages; you may then induce thirst by all contrivances to produce a raging an- petite for drink; and then you may sup ply that appetite to tbe full, because it is lawful; you have paid for it: you have a license. You may alio" boys, almost children. to frequent your saloon, they may witness the apparent satisfaction with which their seniors quaff the sparkling glfcsi"; you may oe scnooung and training mem lor the period of twenty-one, when they too can participate; for all this lawful. You may hold the glass to their very lips; but you .. . ri. .i j i ' v-i uiushuubjcfc tiicui unuit; mans uniawiui. Bat while you have all these privileges for the money which you pay, this poor privilege of selling to children is denied you. Here parents haye the right to as sert a little claim. Here the parent has a right to say, "Leave my son to me until the law gives you the right to destroy una. noianucipaie turn lerrime mo ment when I can assert for him no further right for his protection. That will he soon- enough for me, for his mother, for nis suter, lor bis friends, and for the community, to see him take this road to death. Give him to us in hit childhood at least. Let us have a few years of his youth, in which-we may enjoy his inno cence.to repay us in some small degree for tbe care and love we have lavished upon him." This ia" something you who now stand a prisoner at the bar have not paid for; this is not embraced in your license. For this offense JLhe Court sentences you to ten days' imprisonment in the county jail, and that you pay a fine of $75 and cQsts; and that you stand committed until the fine and costs of this prosecution are paid. Another Federal Oatragci VlCKaurno, Jan. 18. Maior Georze E.- Head with a squad of Federal troops with fixed bayonets, acting (it is stated) under orders from General Emory, to-day enter ed tbe sheriffs office here and forcibly ejected sheriff A. J. Flanagan, who was in possession by virtue ofthe recent elec tion, about the validity of which there is a constitutional question. His right to the office had not, however, been ques tioned by any legal proceedings. the military appear to have acted upon army orders alone. Major Head reported his action to Chancellor Hill, who was holding court in an adjacent room, by whom the action of the military was coun tenanced and seemingly approved. Slienir Managan also reported the facts to Chancellor Hill, and appealed to the court to protect' him in the discharge of his duties, but was refused. The Chan cellor appointed W. H. Mcphee sheriff pro tern , and he was placed in possesion of the office by the military. McGhee ia a white republican, and waa deputy under sheriff Crosby. Chancellor Hill, upon opening court two weeks ago, adjourned it until to-day in order to determine what course he would take in reference to the sheriffalty.
