ATTEMPTED MuneER-A galews-ooklng Span
lard with pair sf dirty whiskers up to his eyebrows
and still more cut throat looking pair of mustaches,
was introduced to Justice Bloodgood yesterday by
officer Gilbert +. Hays, on a charge of attempting
the life of Madame Juliana Dupre in the fol-
lowing
The complainant is lady Of great beauty, and her
charms are in no degree diminished by the posses
sion of some FIVE and twenty or thirty thousand dol.
lars which she brought with her from the Islond
of Cuba, where she has resided the last four five
years.
The prisoner had been protege OF Madame Dupre
and selected out of all Havana account Of the
magnitude OF his whskers and the gen,eel wr Of his
mustache and imperial. On expressing her determ-
nation TO leave the Island for New York, Seignor
whskerandos became inconsolnblc and swore he
would throw himself from the ramparls of the More
into the sea- unless tho lady would consent to his
companying her ,hither.
Madame Dupre was soon overcome by the amiable
dsres. of her lover and order TO prevent the dread
ful catastrophe he had threatened by throwing himself
from the castle walls into the sea, she conceded that
he nigh, throw himself into her arms and become
the caraler cerrene Of her voyage to this city, where
they arrived on Monday last, after suffering shpwreck
and divers Otner UnsHaps. 10 salilng rom
Havana Madame Dupre took the precauton Of chang.
ms 1000 in deuboons for draft for that amount,
upon mercantile house in New York
Finding her obedent cicerone rather bore in
these la,itudes, Madame Duprc generously offered
Signor whskcrandos l50 dollars, as payment, in full
Of all demands and after many expressions of esteem
and regret at parting, very genecly told him TO go
about his business rs she had no further occasion for
his services.
whereupon the other, in fit Of despair, rushed
upon the complainant, and after choakng her with
a pocket handkerchief in one end of which was tied
No the accepted draft for $4,000, endeavored ts
pour a phial Of laudanum down her throat Her
proans and struggles fortunately were overheard in
an adjoining room, the inmates Of which immediate
y rushed in to her rescue, and officer Hays was sent
for, who took the cowardly rascal into custody.
A further development Of this mysterious affair
will probably ranspre in the examination, report
Of which, II made publicly shall be given to our rea

LAW INrELLlGENCE-RUN SLAVES
We invite the attention of our readers to a Judi
clal charge given 10 the Grand Jury, Nov. IL,
1888, by Judge Reid, in Mason county, Ken
lucky. 1t is in this court that the case Of Mahan,
of recent notoriety, is now pending. 1t will be
seen that Judge Reid rejects all claim of iurisdic-
ton except over acts personally transacted within
the proper county of that commonwealth. He
lays down the undoubted correct rule Of law, so
that we have nothing to apprehend from an at
tempt to extend the criminal code Of Kentucky to
acts done in Ohio.
There seems now to be no doubt that number
Of our citizens have persuaded themselves that j,
is proper and commendable for them to aid run.
away slaves in escaping from their masters lr
this persuasion, they receive them in their houses
sacre them, furnish them the means of convey.
ance from point to point through the State, an1
thus facilitate and secure their escape to Canada,
so that the master incurs total loss. This sub
ject has engaged much Of my consideration, long
before abolitionism, in its present form of action
had any existence. The result has been con.
viction, that free State bordering upon slave
State, under the Constitution of the United States
should stlgmase and punish criminay, in their
own citizens. every int u ion upon the propert,
of their neighbor State. Ohio should declare
1t elonlous misdemeanor to aid and assist runa.
way slaves 10 traverse the State in making their
escape to Canada. The act should be put on tn.
same footing in which the Kentucky statute pla
ces it. That statute was passed in times Of COO
reflection. TO me. its provisions, both in de6n
ing the offence and fixing the punishment, appea,
appropriate and reasonable. Whilst content
most uncompromisingly for the right Of free dis
cussion, even to inquiry on the abolishmen, o

tent Of power in Congress, over our interna
slave trade, as strenuously insist that no favo
