The killing of Mr. Alex. Onrus, and the wounding of Mr. m Jehnson, has its responsibility in the offiers of law who are charged wjtlh a the preservation of the pe.ac of so ciety, the lhavs and property of its tctisens. A month since this sanme man Hor ton, witls his crowd of cowardly ro;g:!s "took thie town," as they say, n :;and we then charged tile Iladical of ficinls witr the responsibility of that o.trawns. In that row a egro mani was brutally shot and no effort was made to arrest Horton, who did the shooting then, and on Christmas day, I altnhough the duty of the Sheriff liJ plain unnder the Ilow. We nunderstand that the interprets Ition of the law by this officer is, that r he is simply to arrest when so order. ed when a child knows anch to be an * utterly idtioie view of the statutes. Th iherilff ean and iseat arrest when he, to his own knowledge, is apprin ed of a crime and knows thle criminal. He knew t'mt a negro had been shot, and he was fully aware that this fel low Horton had done the shooting, still he suffered him to go about for a week unmolestled. There is still another offical who will be made to bear his share of this responsihility, and his is certain. ly fearfll--we allnde to P. A. Sim 0 mono, the Mayor. On the Saturday 0 previous to jtoe election, this man proclaimed his power as Mayor- and asserted his determination to sustain h imself in that position. He made It demaads upon the Captain command ir ing troops at this post for soldiers, ie eatesai to preserve the peace, which he asserted the whites intended to r. violate--realy to terry thIs kard/or 3 the Radical partg 5 the electios.

Johnson, by one Hor- ise ton, a desperado, aided and abetted by one Franklin, both strangers here. He It will be remembered that tihe te I VINDICATOR mentioned about a not month since, the fact of a party of ., Texans taking this place, and of their ,i t doestroying property and shooting n ie- in groes, for whic offence the Radical ed Sofficials made no move to arrest them. da It seents that this tHorton was the s,i ' leader of the aforesaid gang, and ., * that he retmriuel a week or so before it. Clrismmae to the scene of Isis former tit exploits, and on that day renewed Iis ts 't usnal pastime of indiscriminate iring in r' at any and every negro he met. G' ". The while citisens tird of waiting bi ." for the action, and dishleartened at h 'n the condunC of the Radicanl oicials, di determined upon taking the mattes H *Ii In hand themselves, and as these t it, men were in persuit of a negro, also .i, 4 a stranger, they passed near the k M* Merehants Club, on 2t1 Street, firing t or at the negro, Mr. Garla, a merchant, stepped out on the street with tlhe Io epression that, "lie would stop it," of he was accomee paied by Mr. M. H. . *n Carver, Col. W. W. Breareale, and , - Mr. J. P. Johnson, all for the same 13 my purpose, to prot(tt tihe negro and tl n stop time firing. Upon arriving at the, corner of St. Denis and Second streets, In Horton and his pal were met by il do thlese gentlemen, who in a quiet man d nocr remonstrated with them for such rs, conduct and insisted on its being stop. si ped. It seems that Horton recogniz. to ed several by name, and shook heand " with them, particularly Mr. Johnson, who, he a moment afterwards a rt. ftempted to murder. Mr. Carver placed his hand on Horton's shoulder bat and said that, "we ara all friends t , here, and mast have o fighting,"- ii whea, without another word, Horton ed pused him of, drew his pistol and l read. The first shot took effect in sin the breast of Mr. Alex. Garsa, near the let nipple, from which he died he n a few minates; the next ahot was e alimed at Mr. Johnson, who reeived to saugly weald from it in the thigh, t felling him t the pavement, theOnext e shot was dred at Mr. Carver and Col. a Bmsuale, who were standing nearl l ea ehh other. This ball struck Mr. C. in the oat sleeve, but fortusately missed the arm. The whole shooting was so quick snd msespected, tdst although many vi aolts were Irtl HIIorton, be succeed* ( ed in making his escape, hotly per. p1 seed by parties of citiens, into the oI woods, where he is safe for a time, hi st least. Merton's pal sad friend, Franklin, was scaptured d lodged in jail by parties of eitises. p Thus In broad day, without pre . monition or prveocntion, was one of a r besteitiseas and merchants, shot a Ilid, mnother wounded, sad the lives I1 of others attempted, while tie whole o maI r of arrest of the ende a is beinlg attempted by citisens alone. • Mr. 6amr was a recent y elected I member o the City Council of this a ety. and nas mn enjoyed the cons- . dcnee and rspect ef the ltisens to a greater degree than he, and his leess e wilt be severely felt.
