Prominent Kentucky politicians tare conauUaJ with iomo of the ueinbcn of tit Judiciary Committee, regarding the lidity of thti Uto election in that Stato. Thej wer adv'ued to collect fall eviJonc in Ttrioui dlitricti howing the Impunity with which ex-rebel voted, all leading fact connected with the election, and also a record of tho opposition of the candi date! during tho war. Thia ia to bo brought to the notice of the Committee on l'.lectiooa at the next aenaion of ConjrjeiTT It is understood that immediate steps will bo taken to prepare such evidence. Senator Wilson's Tour. . enitor Wilson bus returned from the Houth. IIo has been thirty-one days liiere. Daring that time ho has in a Jo twenty four political speeches, besides half a dozen more on temperance, etc. lie cornea back id good health, and reports himself greatly pleased with tho trip. IIo uys he was rcrywhere courteously roceived, and is more than ever convinced that the Kcpub Iicans can carry a majority of the Con gressional Districts in the South. He will urge that the fundi of our Committeea be expended mainly in paying speakers, and organization, rather than sustaining news papers or circulating expensive documents, and thinks it would be well to give em ployraent t a number of colored men of good to ;al standing. Religious Debate. . Her. J. II. Lozier, Methodist, and B F. Foster, Universalist, have been Corres- ponding through tho Indianapolis Journal in regard to a religious debate upon ques tions of difference between the denomina tions they represent. Propositions have been made on both sides as to the rules by which they are to be governed, the questions to be discussed, ic, which appear to bo satis factory, and will no doubt be accepted. The questions for discussion will be as fol lows: 1st. Do the Scriptures and reason teach the doctrine of the final holioes and happi ness of all mankind? Mr. Foster affirms. .2d. Do the Scriptures' and reason teach the doctrine of the endless punishment of any part of tho hunuu family ? . Mr. Lozier affirms. It is proposed that the time consumed on each evening shall bo two hours, be ginning precisely at eight o'clock; each dis putant occupying thirty minutes alternate ly. Ua tho third evening of each propo sition, the afürmant to have a closing speech of twenty minutes. Registration. Gen. Ord hi appointed registers in thirtythree counties of Arkansas, and will now go to Mi aal sip pi to complete tho work in that State. It is expected tho whole machinery o'.' regia trat ion in Arkansas will be in workicg order before the end of the month. lien. Fope has issued a general order on the matter of registration. The States of Alabama and Georgia, are redistricted, and one negro placed on every board of tegis Iratiou. llcLriaters are corunelle.i tn ak the test oath, and are bound to explain to 0 i voters their rights and . privileges. Any illegal interference with the freedom of registration, or any oppression of the freed inen on account of registration or voting, will subject the guilty party to arrest and trial by military commission. In caso of any disturbance at tho places of registra tion, or the polls, the civil authorities are to be caVted on to suppress it, and if they fail the military will be called in, and the civil authorities who so fail will be arrested and tried by the military. Favorable Reports from tha South. Late advice received at tho War Do. partiucut from the military districts in the South, represent matters as in a very favor able condition. Inspector Scwcll, of the Frecdmcu's Durcau, has returned from an extended tour. He is decided in the opinion that no such general suffering prevails as com plaint from that section indicate. A correspondent cf the New York HeruIJ, writing from Winchester, V., says that in spite of the ravages of the war, and almost total destruction of tho fences, Inu-es, de, the farmers of tho Shenandoah Valley will probably havo the finest and largest wheat crop ever raised in that re gion. Tho lower counties aro filling up with Pennsylvania Germans,who are quiet ly buying all tho farms thoy can got. Governor Morton. Since his return from Washington, Gov ernor Morton's health has not been so good as it was throughout tho winter. He lias been induced to try the virtues of the Arkansas hot springs, and has left fur that locality. Fruit and Grain Crops. Kcports of tho fruit and grains crops in Ohio and ludiana are very encouraging. The ftot hj:t J jlc but ht'.lc damage. 1--7 - v TSW THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. We live Kome more particulars of tho railroad accident last week: Lemuel F. Wood, tho engineer, died it twenty n.inutea pwtt eight o'clock on the name evening of the accident, lie was r? - - not able to jump from the locomotive, bo lug hcwn.cd in by the wood from the ton der. 11! rliiht leg was so terribly crush cd that Ibe limb would bo lout below tho knee, even in case ho had survived. He was othcrwleo crushed, Tory badly, and burned by tho slcnm. His family lives in Maaanchugctt. lie has been employod on this road only about a month, Tho engineer and fireman of. the Ohio iV MUniNBippii ongiue escaped by jumping from the engine, as did also tho fireman of tho other englno. ' Mr. Geo. Higby, conductor of tltf Ohio A, Missiaalppi train, who was sitting in the rear coach, wi, strangj to say, the on ly ono on his train much injured. He Buffered a dinlocation of the left ahoulder by being thrown violently back upon the arm of the seat. Mr. W. Carey, tagjigo master on the Ohio and MUHippi train, was aeverely cut in the back of his head. Uoth trains haj a good nun-1. or of passengers, the Ohio and Mir7aff) te ami a half coach es full, and the other the usual number, but none of them, fortunately, were injur ed, beyond a fev slight scratches and bruises that can hardly be callod wound. PERSONAL. We hud the pleasure of meeting our friend 11. II. Swift, llevcnue Assessor for thia District, in the city on Tuesday lant: IIo rejoices iu the realization of tho fact that be is an Andy Johnson man, and acknowledges that Yv. S. Holman ia the best Congressman this Diitrict can boast of for many years. Lawrenceburg HegU ter, May lUlh. 'An honest confession is trood for the soul' it is said, and we are very much gratified to bear Ibat our pleasant friend Swift has thrown off bis prejudices so much as to acknowledge it. Wonder if ho is not sorry that the District has been chang ed so as to deprive him of the pleasure of voting for Judgo Ilolatan. Franklin Vtmocrut. Mr. Swift authorizes us to say that "the Reguler Iks under a great mistake. He did have an interview with Mr.' Bookwal ter at tho time indicated, but there was no conversation of a political character, and the names of neither the Frcsident nor Judgo Ilolman were mentioned or allu ded to on that occasion. He is the more certain of the correctness of bis recolleo tion of this fict, as Cookwalter was in his normal condition at tho time, and the subject would have been inappropriate. As to his 'Andy Johnsonisin he is happy to know it never led him into sym pathy or aCIiatioa with tho enemies of the Union and of the Union Tarty, of which he has always been a zealous, if humble' member. JIo labored earnestly to defeat Judge Ilolmaa and elect Col. Grovcr, and only regrets that his efforts were not mere successful." Warning to tho Intemperate. A terrible accident occurred on the Michigan , Central railroad, in Michigan City, on Wednesday night. A German by the name of Ferdinand Wopshall, liv ing a short distance east of the railroad bridge over Trail creek, was found the next morning oa the railroad about three quarters of a mi!o from town, most shock ingly mangled. It appears that ho left town on Wednesday evening intoxicated, and was run over by tho night express go ing cast, his body lying on the track all night, and was run over' by several other trains before he was picked op. When found he could only La recognized by por tions of his clothing. His arm, legs, fecti head and body were so torn and scatteied about that it was almost impossible to .t ii. r : , ,aculs"ls' 1'" ac.ju j t-siciuay, iuu vcruivt ue-.u mat lue deceased camo to hia death by his own carelessness." Wopshall was about forty five years of age, and leaves four children. Intemperance has figured largely on our mortality list, and this adds another fear, ful warning to tho intemperate. Sympathetic. When Jeff. Davis, the King of Copper heads, left his den at Fortress Monroe, somo of the young natives rejoiced by firing a salute. When Lincoln was assas sinated, they did tho samo thing at the samo place. . Foreign. Tho Austrian Government bis instructed its Minister at Washington to negotiate with Juarez fur the safety of Maximilian. Fifty deaths from cholera occur daily at Buenos Ayrcs, and pinio prevails. The epidemic has also broken out in tho allied array at Uuenos Ayres. Victoria has issued tho expected Royal Proclamation, uniting the two Canadas, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, under one Government, to bo called tho Domin ion of Canada. Nullification Defoated. An effort was made in the Maryland Constitutional Convention to get the clauco of the bill of rights, which acknowledges the Uuitcd States Constitution, and laws made in pursuance theroof, to be the su preme law of tho land, stricken out. It failed, but received twonty-one votes. A New State. Petitions to Congress are circulating in Texas asking for a division of tho State, and the creation of the new State of "West Texas." Tho people of the Western sec tion claim that they havo always been loy al to the L'uion. Democratlo Nominations. Dia Cedar, May 27th. Mr. J'ditor,! see by the Democrat that tho Democratic County Convention is to be held aoon to nominate candidates for Clerk and CommisMoner. I am told the Clerk will bo nominated by acclamation, as the matter was dccldod at their primary meetings, but that tho Comminloner will have to bo balloted for, and that it will depend on tho best wiro-workcr to secure the nomination. Tho gone rat imprcusion hero is that Kobeson will bo tho man, as ho knows how to pull tho wires. Having been twico nominated for Sheriff and twice for Treasurer, and being directly interest ed for a road to his Vrarvhouse, bo will pull every wiro to iccuro the nomination. He camo very near beating Krtol iu Highland. Krtel promised a bridge the first thing at TrentuHj and lloboson otjCcdar Grove. Tho viewers appointed by tho last Hoard of Commissioner, I understand, have greed to report favorably for Kobeson's road from the Caimcl pike to his ware house, which I suppose will have to do instead of ft bridge across tho Fast Fork at Brookville, although in time it will cost more thin a brldgo. But I suppose wo can do ss wo havo been doinggo around by the Harrison piko when the hilLslides ir.to the road. Ourcitireus in Fairfield think they will haT-the. first bridge, but. F hazo eftcft heard that promises are like pie-crust; besides, there aru more Convention votes across the West Fork, and Laurel wants a bridge. I should not wonder if some of Robe son's wires would break. Krtel has some votes, but the Trenton bridge wont bring any more ; and I begin to hope that some of the otLer candidates will get the nomi nation. Tax Fa tiii. "JlSTITllE PARTES BUNT NOX VIOLAltE J VERECCNDUB, NON OFFENDEUE." Mr. Editor t I propose to eay a word in regard to the manners and actions of some of tho "young folks' of our town. Some one has defined politeneas as "only an elegant form of justice," but it is some thing more. It is the result of the com bined action of all the moral and tocial feelings, guided by judgment and refined taste. Having entertained a high regard for those above referred to, I must confess I was greatly shocked, a few evenings ago, at a meeting of the Zctalathcan and Julia Dumont Literary Society, by the impro prieties displayed by some cf the bright est intellects, and hitherto highly respect ed members of society. Our citizens in all matters are free thinkers, yet the rules of etiquette or common civility ought to prevent those who meet together for the improvement and better development of those faculties which a beneficent Creator has bestowed upon them, from being made the subject of ridicule. "Order is the first law of Heaven," and it is requisite else where. All are aware that, going in while the Society is in session, and retiring during the order of exercises, is very annoying, Our object is mutual improvement, ad vancement in literary pursuits, and we are ever open to friendly criticivn. Should our friends choose- to meet with us, and con form to the rules of tho Society, a cordial invitation is extended. With duo regard to the "phelinks" of all concerned, I am re?pcctfully, Rod. Brookville, May 27th, 18G7. Cass of Maryland. The Judiciary Committco will not take up the case of Maryland till the present rebel Convention has completed its labors, remodeling the Stato Constitution. Gold Mine in Huntington Co. Tho mill for working tho gold mine in Huntington County will soon bo ready for operation. The quartz crusher is waiting tho completion of the building. Surveying Party. A surveying party of scientific men is to bo Eent out by Government to survey the territory between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains. The work will be three years in progress. Divorces in Indiana. Indiana is getting a world-wide fame as a Stato wherein it is very easy to procure a divorce. It is announced that a law firm in New Albany, Indiana, has just re ceived a letter from a woman in Scotland, making inquiry in reference to a divorce, and another from a gentleman in Colorado on the same subject. First Trial by Military Commission. The first trial by a military commission under the Reconstruction act was that of John M. Walker, for asualt with intent to kill, at New Orleans. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment at hard labor, and Gen. Sheridan approved tho finding of the commission. A Denial. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury denies any responsibility for the rumor that the financial condition of the country will re- quiro a summer session of Congress. In tho aggregate for the year the receipts of the Treasury will, he thinks, nearly equal the estimates, and, although the cxpendi turci in payment of bounties and for the Indian war have been greater thau was ex pected, no serious embarrassment is appre hended. Deposed. Tho Mayor and Chief of Polico of Mo bilo have been deposed and better men put in thoir places, by Gen. Pope's order. Ex-Mayor Withers bus published a letter to Col. Shepherd, saying he submits to the argument of tho bayonet, but solemnly protests against tho imputation on his official conduct. Something in the Wind. Generals Thomas, Stoneman and John son have gone to Washington, and some of the Kentuckians fear that it is for tho pur pose of consulting with regard to the re-, toubtiuctiou of that State. Frightful Accident. Tho New'Albany Commercial describes a frightful accident which occurred at Georgetown, IndUoa, on Saturday laat. A young man named William Sylvester Tyler, a son of William L. Tyler, was harrowing in a field on hi father's farm, when a tree, which had been partially burned, fell upon hltn ind his borne, on which he was rlding,broa!ting his arms and legs, ind othcrwino injuring him fatally. The horse was also killed, being crushed by tho falling tree. The father of tho young man, who was at work In the samo field at tho time, hnntcnod to tho scene of the terrible disaster, and with an almost sopcrhuman effort, lifted the fallen tree off his son, and bore his shattcrod form to tho houso, whore he lingered about nlno hours in great pain, when doath camo to his relief. Murder andSuicUo in Jefferson County. Tho Madison Courier gives tho particu lars of a double tragedy which occurred on the 20th inst. near that city. Preston Christie anl James McClelland had been speculating in corn, and tho former had lost a considerable amount of money. Ho blamed Christie for this, and claimed g'QQO from hor which he went to law. On Monday he wont to Christie's houo to mako a settlement, but did not find Lim at home. He, howevar, met him on a road, and asked him to etile his account. Christie mado sn evasive answer, whero upon McCIcllutd drew a revolver and shot him, inflicting a wound from which he soon died. MoClelland then rodo toward home, and toldan acquaintance whom he met what he hal done. He requested him to inform the;' Sheriff of the affair, that he might com and arrest him. On reach ing home ho pat up his horse, and then went into the yard and shot himself. IIo survived only a few hours, and was dying when tho Sheriff arrived. Fall ot the Mexican Empire. We have highly important official news from Mexico.' The event which has been so often announced, and so long expected, the final and complete overthrow of Maxi milian, has at last happened. On the morning of tlio 15th inst. Maximilian and his Generals, after a battlo in which they were defeated, surrendered unconditionally to the Liberals. There is a report that Juarez had ordered the Arch duke and his officers to be shot, but it is hardly entitled to credence. Few particulars of the final act havo been mado known, but the news comes from different sources, and in such a manner, that there is left do doubt of its truth. An Escape Frustrated The prisoners in tho Jefferson ville Pen itentiary formed a plan for escapo recently, but wero betrayed by oue of their number. There arojlCu "iiiuacra ig J ho Pp.njtrn tiary.

John F. Templeton. From Shelbyvillo. G. W. 'Julian ppoko at Shelbyvillo on Saturday. By tho way, wo notice the efforts of tho Copperhead papers to connect a caso there in which ono negro shot anoth er, with Mr. J'a speech. Ho know nor heard nothing'of it, though he was there till six P. M. The shooting must have oc curred after that; and that it had any referenco to political questions, as stated by naid papers, is moro than problematical. Richmond Republican. Released on Dail. Rev. J. -II. Schneider was released on bail last Saturday his bondsmen being members of his congregation, who aro sat isfied that he is innocent of the charge pre ferred against him. We should hope, for the sake of tho church and his family, that he will bo able to establish his innocence. Larrcnccburg Press. A Tributo of Respect. At a meeting of the Faculty and Stu dent of llrookville College, Prof. J. P. V, John was called to the chair. On motion, a committee, consisting of Prof. A. 0. Crouch, A. Dicky, K. V. Jonci, 0. F, Frgenbright and W. It. istrawn, was appointed to draft resolutions cxrrcnitivo of the feelings of the Srhool in reference, to tho death of Robert H. Tern pleton, which occurred May 21, 18G7. Tho committco reported tho following preamble and resolutions, which on motion mere unanimously adopted: Whereas, God in his providenco has visited our school, and by death taken from our midst llobert II. Templeton, who has been connected with this Institution for tho past year; therefore Hf.holved, That in his death we have lost a faithful student, a tried friend, and a loving clamato.

For ths Amerloan. Arithmetical. Two men purchased a farm of 300 acres for SCÜÜ, each paying $300. Desiring to divide the farm, one agreed to take his share at $2,25 per acre ; the other his at 1 1,75 per acre. How much land did each get? A solution is required. Teacher. Tho question as stated involves an ab surdity. It can't bo done. For if A takes his fchare at 82,25 per acre, he has IP3 acres, which amounts to bis bharc cf the money, or $300, while H takes lCCj acres, which amounts to $231 CG, aud pays S,33 less than A, or a difference of 25 cts. per acre on 33 J acres. Let "Teach er" state his question differently, or ac knowledge the absurdity. Student. Road-Making. The following hints ujon this suljcct will be found worthy of consideration; and as in the Spring much time is devoted to repairing and making roads, we give them for tho benefit of farmers and others: "In road-making, one great requisite is the ready and total removal of all water. There cannot be a good road where water stands by tho side of, or on it. If the ditches have no ready out-let, tho road bed will Koak up tho moisture more or less bv capillary attraction, and thus remain rutted and muddy. Itisvain to think T having a good road on a subsoil tilled with stag nant water. Even on sido hills, if water remains on tho upcr side, it will injure the road by passing under. Provide then, ii possible, for tho thorough drainage of your road, cither by surface or covered difplM. . Sea that th road-bed is evenly aud fc'ightly rounded, so that the water can readily find its way to tho drains. If the soil is clayey or loamy, give it a few inches of gravel or even coarse sand, and you will havo a Cue and pleasant passasre wav. -If the soil is sandy, it needs an addition of clay to correot it, and this will correct it so that ;roo J roadj may bo had over the lightest sandy soil." Shocking Death by Suffocation. Tha following aro the details of the death by suffocation of two servant girls at the Moravian Seminary for young ladies at Bethlehem, Penn., on Sunday night week: Seven Eervant girls slept together in a room iu the basement, uudcr the seminary dining roomwhere tbero was a large stove tho gas from which, owing to the damp, heavy weather, was forced down an open flue in tho chimney into tho room where the girls were sleeping. One of the girls did not retire till about one o'clock, and on entering the room noticed blood on the walls, heard groauing by those asleep in the room, and was somewhat affected by the gas. Dropping her lamp, she ran, greatly affrighted, to the housekeeper's room and told her that the girls had been murdered. The houskeeper and Lcr two daughters became panic stricken, locked themselves in their rocm, and did not even attempt to alarm the watchmen on the streets, which they could easily have done from their window, andrcmaincd paralyzed with fear till morning. The unfortunate servant girls were thus left without relief. When daylight gave the housekeeper courage to alarm the house a terrible scene presented itself. Hannah Hawk and Susan Manhcrtz who slept respectively at each end of the room, were found dead, the pil lows and bedding bespattered with blood. Eliza Fehr, the cook, was on the floor, and, it sceni?. had been awakened by the screams and groanings of tho other women adKotuptcatrtrteTen losrng-cönrj sciousncss, she fell and remembered no more till restored to consciousness the next day. The other four, whose beds were in the center of the room, were found insen sible, but wero coon restored, and are now well; the others are not yet out of dan ger. Hard Times in Germany. A communication from Manheim, in the Europe, of Fraukfort, Germany, says: Tho prico of corn continues high, and tho situation is considered as very unsatis factory, both by tho Baden population and by our neighbors in tho Palatinate. The iucrcaso of our ordinary war budget is esti mated at from two and a half to three millions of florins per annum (the increase in the wealth of the whole country was be tween eleven and twclvo millions in 1SGG, according to otliciul statistics); moreover tho interminable agitations connected with religious subjects do not leave any hope, as yet, of a durablo peaco at home.

I see in tho American which reached me to-day that a special train was to be run to the city for the purpose cf carrying persona to see the play of the iaBlack Crook." I presume tho cars wero full, if depraved human nature is the samo there aa elsowhcro. The same play is given at St. Louis, and is spoken of as being ex ceedingly vulgar and wicked. It is there called the W-u-lar drams," and tbero sixty "jireled icutntn' of the loosest morals are required to complete the plot. I no tice that the train was to run on Saturday night, so that oji tie return the Sabbath must of necessity be broken. That ao- fftjJwJtrOiitfj-Jljj.ruorala ttfiha theater. On last rnday night your bumble corres pondent received the attention of an actor at the theater hero for an hour and a half in reply to a lecture delivered before the students recently. The actor abused the church and preachers generally, and one in particular, and held up the stage as the standard of true morals. On Saturday tho troupe suddenly decamped, leaving their engagement unfulfilled, and leaving their bills unpaid, and stealing somo of .1. . r pi.! . : . .i. - i. tuw biuc luruuuru. xuis is lue icgiuiuaic fruit ot their teaching, and the people are getting dicgusted at Black Crooks, Ma zeppas and Circuses. They are all alike corrupters of morals, and should be hissed out of existence. rxnsoNAL. It is sad to hear of the deith of two of my former students, Dctha Dole and Ella Fudge. They were both youn. and lull of promise, and lifo seemed full at f hope and beauty, iiut they nave gone in early life from tho sorrows incident to earth, and we can only drop a tear as we pause fur a moment iu the onward march, and give a word of sympathy to tho b1. reared oucs. I THE COLLEGE. It gives us unfeigned pleasure to hear such good reports from our old stamping ground, and we feel a pride in the success of the Brookville College. Thus far this year we have heard nothing but a good account from that Institution, and if our strawberries do not interfere, I hope to bo able to spend Commencement week with yen. TI1E COLORED ELEMENT. Our students were recently surprised at the appcaranco of a nicely-dressed gentle man of African descent who came asking a place in the halls of the Wcslcvan. The ) Faculty and the most cf the students were in favor of admitting him, but as our Col lege laws were made when such persona had närihta ihni nujboilj need to ropeot, and tho old law not yet being fixed accord ing to tho latest improvements, he had to wait till the meeting of the Board. He will bo admitted next 3 ear. Now that Nasby bus discovered that tho "cuss of Canaan" did not extend to the children of Canaan, and having found out, since the colored element can vote, that a dark color is rather to be admired, it is presumable that tho aforesaid African race will have trouble to keep itself from the loving em brace of the church of the new dispensa tion. Be this as it may, men everywhere will vote and bo educated. My next will be a verbal report, if t nothrng happens Yours. W. It. O. Judge Kelly in Memphis. The speech delivered in Memphis on Tuesday ovenin, by Judge Kelly, of Phil adelphia, was an able presentation of the views of the Union party on the question of reconstruction. The sentiment, elo quenceind force of Judge Kelly's address are well exhibited in the closing paragraph, which is all we have room to give: The question has been asked me, since coming iSouth, whether the military bill under which the States are to be admitted to the Union, will be a fiuality. 1 can tell them that they would have been admitted had they accepted tho Constitutional Amendment, and that it would have been a ÜHality. You could not have prevented Conservative Republicans from uniting with the Democrats in admitting all the States adopting that amendment, and on that ground I cast my vote for the admis sion of Tennessee. When the Southern people, who had made the war, seired upon your school fund and your bank stock, and the rolling stock of your railroads, and wero arming all your beautiful cities civI1 f aii nisiory was tuauuraicu. The same people who misled you, who dreoched your land with blood who rob bed u of the fairest and most beautiful of our loved ones assumed that they were tho parties w.ho were to settle the terms of reconstruction," and they spurned the con stitutional amendment. If they proceed to organize their States, under the Military bill, giving the people the right to vote for members of the State conventions, and frame Constitutions republican and uniform securing equality of rights before the law, providing for a common echool system out of generous grants of land already made to them by tho United States for that pur pose, they will be admitted, and that will bo a Quality. But if tho Fortieth Congress, more lladical than the Thirty-ninth it has a short session, and I know its temper if they find that the conquered still claim the right to declare terms of recon struction, they had better read Thaddeus Stevens' speech on reconstruction. Ap plause Tho Southern peoplo can prevent the Military bill from becoming a finality. The lladical party means that it shall be a finality, and tho earnest men among them pray (Jod that this strife and bitterness may soon end, and that when the Fortieth Congress closes, the nation shall be a Un ion, perfect and complete in all its parts, and that each State shall recognize the rightd of man becauso he is a man.

Wo have heard that Monday ncrn ing Mr. Tcrrill wished to take poisc4ioa of bis boat and that McNccly refued to give him poMftcsftion until Tcrrill paid bin what he owed him. High words ensued.ani then two, having both expected trottle, were armed with revolvers. Tcrrill abet first and wounded McNeely In the tUgb then McNeely bot TemU through th breakt, killing him instantly. They each had six shooters. Terriil had discharged three barrels of his pistol and snapped th other thrco caps. McNeely had dischsrgti four barrels of his pistol and had not oe4 or tried to use the other two barrels. Tha shots were heard on this side of the river, and a number of persons witnessed front our wharf the most of the affair. The gen eral imprcsxion seems to be that McNetly acted in ttelf defense. After the occurrence he went to Petersburg to have his wound! dressed (which is not dsngeron) and then gave himself up to the authorities. Law- renceburg Press. ' The Canvass South. We clip from an article in the New York Tnlune the following sensible remarks: 'Never before was there auch urgent need of wise, considerate, judicious can vassers as there is to-day in the South. They should be thoughtful, loving, noble, generous men, who know what to lear unsaid as well as what to eay who will inculcate charity and kindneaa, not wrath and vengeance. In shorr, we need a hun dred such men as Henry Wilson to speak throughout the South for the next air months." "And, if a hundred able and good men should thoroughly canvass th South, there would bo more real harmony and good feeling between whites and blacks thereafter than ever before." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
