over land when the boat left the wharf it was
generally understood on board that Randolph
had been arrested by the citizens of Alexan-
dria, and was in the custody of the civil autho-
rity. A short time afterwards, however, doubts
were suggested whether he had been arrested,
ana the Marshal of the District, therefore, left
the boat and returned to Alexandria to see that
proper measures were taken to bring him to

found that Randolph had escaped into Vir-

any one have believed that editors of public

would endeavor to excite public sympathy in
behalf of such man, and seek to paiate his
mis- offence by alleging that he had been "hGrd-

MEssRs. EDIToRs.--A law was passed at the
last session of the legislature providing that the
"Wahash fund" should be paid into the state
treasury; and thence disbursed towards its
original object, should certain conditions con
templated by the law be complied with by the
state of Indiana, within given time. A part
of that fund which was in the hands Of Mr.
Archer, you are aware, has been deposited as
required. The balance, remaining In the
hands of Judge Wilson as iepositary, and a
mounting to some eight or ten thousand dollars,
recently learned at the treasury, has ncuer
been paid over. There is renissness or me-
glect in this matter somewhere. The law, as
understand it, land do not think it intricate, }
is imperative; it leaAes no discretion any where.
The Judge, being an expounder of the law, Is
not supposed to be under any doubt as to its in
tent A duty is clearly required at his hands
hands which he has hitherto failed to perform.
No reason has yet been assigned for such fall
ure. have no individual interest in this mat
ter any way; the fund is a 'ssealed book" to me
in or out of the treasury; yet it would be very
satisfactory to the people in the district where
live, to know why a duty so plainly required
has not been performed We have the highest
confidence in Judge Wilson's integrity: we
believe him upright in all his ways, and safe
deposilary of funds: but ''for what are laws
made but to be observed?"

merchant Of that place, was shot by his step
son, Edward Simpson, and died Instantly
We are told that misunderstanding had for
some time existed between the parties. On
the day named, Mr.. Dobbins, his lady, and
clerk, (Nir. kyle,) had closed the store at the
usual hour for dinner, and went to the dwelling
house, about half mile distant. While they
we're absent, Mr.. Simpson entered the house
by ascending to the porch of the upper story
and took possession of room formerly occupi
ID by HIM, and in which were his personal
property guns, &c. After dinner. Mr. Dob
bins, Mrs. Dnbhin-, and Mr.. Kyle, returned
to the store, when they discovered Mr. Simp
son in the room which he had occupied. Mr.
Dobbins Immediately went up into the room
when Mrs d., expressing her appreheusons
est some difficulty might arise, requested Mir
Kyle to 90 up also. He started to do so-the
report of gun was heard, and he ascended
The stairway just in time to catch the falling
body of Mr.. Dobbns. Simpson then seized
another gun, and attempted to shoot Kyle, bu
the piece missed fire: the latter immedlatel !
discharged pistol at Simpson, which did moi
take effect. Simpson then proceeded to the
porch in front of the house, and exclaimed
that they were attempting to murder him, bu
that he killed one of them. He forthwith pro
ceeded to magistrate, acknowledged that he
had killed Dobbins, and required a warrant a
gainst Kyle for an alledged at.ompt to toxic a
uray his (onpson's) life. Kyle was arrested
but his examination was delayed, as it wa,
deemed necessary to have the testimony o
Mrs. Dobbins, which, at that particular mo
meut, it would have been cruelty to have insist
ed upon. The examination of Simpson VA
then commenced, and had not concluded at tn,
time to which our information reaches Their,
lis, indeed, a report that he had been discharg
ed by the examining court, but we believe it t
be at least premature.
The points relied upon by Simpson, in hi
defence, we understand to be, that he was il
his Orn room; that it was forciby broken opeI
by Dobbins; that when Dobbins entered, h,
shot him down, because he believed his li
endangered. Simpson had not, however, a
we are told, occupied this room for two or tire
weeks previous to the fatal affair, and had bee
repeatedly ordered not to enter it.
A pistol was found by the side of Mr.. Dob
bins, still undischarged. The wound upon hi
body was made by buckshot, and was uncom
monty large. Mr.. Dobbns had been marie,
only few weeks; but, as we are imperfect,
acquainted with them, we refrain from noticin;
