prize masters mate, had dispute with
Holmes, one Of the prisoners, and attempt
ed to strike him with his hand, and that he
afterwards went down into the cabin. and
bought up cutlass, swearing ne would
cut Holmes up like junk beef ;-that Holmes
armed himself with pair of grains, and
stood on his defence that the quarrel
then subsidized that about two hons after
(about 10 o'clock Rosewall, another Of the
prisoners, proposed TO throw the prize.mas-
ter and hts mate overheard and Joseph,
the mate, was accordingly seized and

nearly ten minutes, begging again to be re-

Tuesday, Jcnuory 12.
The long and wearisomely agitated bill
of appropriation of supplies for the military
was yesterday, after most irksome agita-
ton OF various points Of the subject in the
customary shape of amendments, ordered
to be engrossed for third reading. One
amendment was distinguished not only by
its value, but by the question being taken
upon il By ages and noes. 1t goes to appro-
pirate specifically for extra pay to the SOL
diers for working upon military roads, &c.
a sum of 10000 dols.
The worthy quakers seem determined to
snatch the laurel from the brows of all other
sects by superior exertions-not OF arms,
but of philanthropy. Mr.. Hopkinson yes
terday presented petition from those OF
Pennsylvania, Jersey, Delaware and
the eastern parts ofMaryland, praying con-
gress to take into consideration the condi-
ton of the Indian tribes, that they may be
protected in the peaceable possession of
their rights, and that such measures may he
adopted as are calculated I'd unfold TO them
the benefits and enjoyments Of civilized
life. Ii was referred to the committee on
Indian affairs.
By a statement from the Seer tary of
the Navy, laid upon the table yesterday,
Irappears that the sum drawn TON the LIST
Oct. 1917 to the 3oih Sept. 1918 for the
use Of the Navy, was $685. 74 86-loo-
out of which there was, on the lst of Oct,
1918, balance in the Treasllrer's hands Of
672.Is7 6o-loo.

there came to anchor under such eirc,m-
stances as induced an officer Of the revenue
to board her off the harbcr.--At the sp-
plpach Of the officer the crew Quilted the
schooner.
Such was the history of this bloody
transaction, as uniolded at the time. We
have, collected from an authentic source
this additional information. That on the
arrival Of the schr. at Scituatc, the crew
scattered themselves, but the ihF,abiants
suspecting all was not right, pursued them
in different directions, AMI overlook War
rington at bingham, just as he was taking
passage for Boston that Warrington as
sumed the rame of Fausett, and stated he
was from Savannah, bound 70 Boston, and
had been cast away on the back OF Cape
Cod that this not satisfying the neigh
bors he was taken on to Scituate, where,
Just before Harrison had made full expo
sure Of the transactions before magistrate
--on which Holmes and Rosewall, with The
witnesses were ARRESTED Fausett here
was recognized by Harrison; and detain-
ed with the others ;-Tha' they were then
escorted to Plymouth, under The State an-
thority, and held in custody until the next
tenn of the Supreme Judicial Court, when
they were transferred to the authority OF
the United States. At the October tern oi
the Circuit Court two bills were preferred
against them, one for the murder OF Reed,
the prize master the other for the murder
of Joseph, his mate, and they were after
wards removed under the custody OF The
Marshal, from Plymouth Jail 10 the Jail in
Boston.
The defence set up by the Counsel for
the prisoners embraced three points-the
credibility Of the governments witnesses
"a false allegation in the indictment, viz.
That the deceased was in the peace of the
United States, and therefore, that his death
was against the dignity OF the same lii
asmuch as the transaction was on board a
for ign vessel, without the territories Of the
II. States, and as none Of the crew owed
allegiance to, so they were not entitled to
protection from the United States I; and,
therefore, that the Court had no jurisdiction
Of the offence: The argument of Messrs.
Austin ana Spooner, was splendid dis.
play OF eloquence and eradition.
Mr.. Blake, in closing, replied to all the
points Of the defence with much keenness
of argument, and bril'iancy of remark -
, and while he omitted nothing which duty
suggested, he did not push bis remarks be-
yond the bounds OF true humanity:
The arguments Of counsel were not clG'
sed until nearly 8 O'Clock on Monday e.
vening when, from the indisposition OF
Judge Story, the Court was adjourned un:
til clock yesterday.
Yesterday, his Honor Judge Story charg'
ed the Jury in very solemn and impress
sive manner, occupying nearly an hour and
an half. The jury retired about half past
ten, and returned at one O'Clock, with a
verdict, finding all the priener GUILTY.
Mr.. Spooner then moved an arrest oil
judgement which is assigned far argu.
ment on Thursday next, Tomorrow to
which time the Court was adjourned.

The following resolutions nave passed
the senate of the stale OF Kentucky, in the
same spirit of legislation evidently, as, at
the last session gave birth to the charters
of some thirty or forty state tanks in that
state. 1t is supposed the resoluti ms will
receive notifications in the house of repre-
sentatives but in some shape, substantially
the same, will eventually pass:
Resoi. ed, by The senate and house Of re-
personalities Of Kentucky, That it is the
wish, desire and interest Of the people of
this state, that the president and directors
of the U. States bank recall their branches
located in this stale.
Resolved, That our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress be requested to
take into consideration the expedency and
constitutionality of repeating, by law, Or
otherwise, the charter of SAID bank
Rssolued, That the executive Of this state
be requested to forward to each of our Sc
rators and representatives in congress, a
copy of these resolutions.
Resolved, That he forward to the presi-
dent and directors of the Bank of the Uni.
ted States, a copy of these resolutions, and
request their attention to the same, and their
determination upon the subject.
This being question in which The peo-
pie OF Kentucky, who best understand their
own interests, are more interes ted than we,
it is not for us to question the POLICY of this
measure. Being instructed on the subject,
il may be expected that some member Of
congress from Kentucky, willmove 10 re-
peal the charter Of the bank, by law, OR
OTHERWISE. 1t does no; at present strike

pose to drive them out Of the stale, when and

the clearances to foreign potts during the

from the fact that many vessels bound to
foreign places, proceed to other ports IN the
United States to take in part or the whole
