THE MURDERER OF COL. SHARP.

GREENSBURG, Dec. S-beau-
champ, the fellow who was apprehend
ed on suspicion Of being the murderer
Of Col Sharp of Kentucky, wa. l'ber-
ated after undergoing an examination: :
The circumstantial evidence against
him is very strong, if we may believe
what is said about him in letter from
Frankfort He at one time threatened
the life Of Sharp. He arrived at
Frankfort the day before the murder,
and departed the next morning lie
cot out of bed during the night, and re :
turned an hour or two after The
bloody hankere hief dropped by the as
sa.sin, is just such one as Beau
champ tied round his head the evening
before the murder These and many
other things said of him, ought in our
on;nion. to be sufficient reason for his
detention. But even if conviction
should follow, the well known lenity OF
the Governor will save him from the
gallows. Having exercised his autho-
rity in behalf of one culprit, itwould be
unfair, and unjust, to withhold it from
another.-Gas.
