THE RICHMOND [Kyl TRAGEDY.

Our readers will probably recoec the brief record
week or so snce Of the killing Of Mr., Stone,
chant OF Richmond, Kentucky, by Mr. Muzzy, princi-
pal OF an academy at that place. The circumstances
connected with the homie lde somewhat out OF the
common rum and are thus detailed by young lady Of
Concord, Mass, who at Richmond at the time and
who writes as follows to her parent.
Mr. Stone, widower, sent 10 the academy son,
whom Mr. Muzzy had occasion to correct rather Sc
vorely Soon after the chastisement had been inflicted
MIR. Stone called on Mr.. Muzzy at the academy, and
asked an explanation OF the Transaction which was
cheerully given by Mr., NJ. after which Mr. s. retired
satisfied with the explanation as Mr. Muzzy supposed.
In short time however, Mr. Stone sent Mr.. NJ a
note, asking him to call at his store. Mr. NJ imme-
datey complied with the request and was invited into
the counting room when Mr.. s. Immediately closed
the door, drew dirk, took from the shelf cowhidc
telling Mr.. M. if he moved finger he would kill him
instantly. Stone inflicted some fifteen or twenty blows
with the co@hde and then opened the door, and kick I'd
NJ out Of the store, and babe him 90 about his
Mrs. NJ. hearing of the cowhding declared that
nothing but the blood of Stone could wash out the dis
grace. The patrons Of the school took their children
from the academy, declaring that if Mr. NJ. had not
nerve enough to resent such treatment he was not the
man to educate their children
brother OF Mrs. M who resided at some distance
from Richmond, wrote home to another BROTHER affirm
ing that If Mr.. M. did not chastiso Stone. he the
brother, would be in Richmond Immediately and do !,
himself Muzzy Immediately armed himself, as did his
friends, and gave out that on meeting with Stone one
or the other must fall Stone and his friends armed
and Richmond was all excitement. Several attempts
were made by Mnzzy to Stone before the fatal
rencontre. Mr. Muzzy the oldest son OF Dr..

DENIAL OF THE GLOBE.

{" The subaltern of the National Intelligencer, the
Madisonian, tells Maryland" " of money subscribed
here by the oeeholders, and proprieors Of he Globe
to try and eorrnpt yonr uoters" We pronounce this
to be an utter fasehood as far are concerned,
and believe 1t to be false of the oficehoders unless
it be the Federal otcrhoders (hey ought to be per-
mitted to hold office no longer) who have contribut
ed TO the immense fund VIGOROUSLY raised BY the
Wings for the purpose of buying votes The remark,
at the close OF the same article ascribed TO the Al
torney General, we know to be equally false
In our last paper we cautioned the honest
voters of Maryland to look out for the tricks
Of the officeholders, that money had been sub
scrbed by them and the proprietors of the
Globe to influence the elections. The Globe
of Saturday contains the above equivocal
denial of the fact. Now we who arc SO tho
roughly acquainted with all the tortuous poll
cy OF this sheet, see at once through the ma
nGuvrc. The editors deny that they sub
scribed for the purpose Of trying 10 corrupt
The rollers! They think that buying vote is
not corrupting the elective franchise; but
merely giving an equivalent, and that the use
OF money in the furtherance OF political
schemes, is fair business transaction. We
call on the editors TO deny (if they dare) ever
having subscribed money, or to have known
oficeholders to have done so, to be used in Ma
ryland elections. If they do we will convict
them of as gross an untruth as was ever ut.
tered.
What homes: man cares for the denials of
this wicked and profigate sheet? Did il no,
affirm, over and over again, that Gen. Jack
son was entirely ignorant Of the deranged
state of the funds of the General Post Office.
while under the fostering care of Mr.. Barry.
when the reverse was so unequivocaly prov
ed at the suit against Governor What re.
spect then, are we to pay to It's asseverations
in relation to Dame Grundy! Again, has it
not denied that Kendall had any participation
in the ownership or profits Of the Globe, or
received any remuneration for services as a
writer 7 This was another base and palpable
evasion of the truth. We know all the facts
in relation TO that matter also. We know
that Mr.. Kendall, while Auditor, and while
prosecuting Tobias Watkins with savage
and unreenting zeal, ,cas connected piM the
Globe, and did receive revenue from it, If
there be any thing actionable in what we say,
let them make the most Of it. Give us an
investigating committee of ten honest men,
bers of Congress, at the next session, and we
pledge ourselves to prove all the facts here
in set forth, and other coruptions Of so
damning character as TO astound this nation.
II is the fear of such committee, that has
stricken terror to the hearts of the Office
holders and the editors Of the Globe-and no
wonder they should move heaven and earth
to try and avert it.

We this day present our readers with
portion Of Mr.. Rives' Speech at the Louisa
dinner, and must express our regret that we
could not give that truly able and eloquent
paper entire We shall conclude it, however,
in our next issue, and mean time we claim for
il an attentive perusal by our Conservative
and Wing friends. We maintain that this
distinguished patriot and statesman, has vim
dicated himself in grand and forcible man
ner from the wanton and malignant aspersions
so industrously heaped upon him by the vile
hirelings ofpower. Those presses, the Globe
and Enquirer, that few years ago, lauded
Mr.. Riyes to the seventh heaven, have been
the most busy Of late in endeavoring to de-
fame and blacken his character. Why this
tissue Of falsehood, misrepresentation and
abusel MIR. Rives was convicted Of the un-
pardonable sin Of preferring his country to
party-he unlike that degenerate descendant
Of the immortal Henry, refused to cringe at
the footstool Of power, and join in a crusade
against the monetary institutions the States.
He defined his glorious posit IN, worthy Of the
pupil OF the ilustrious Jefferson and Madison,
and for this he has been hunted down and pro-
scribed by every parricide in the ranks Of the
Destructives.
