Where the "Peter Funks" and other swindlers Gone

new police bill! Why a premium of 90 per cent on all
the fees, was offered yesterday a dozen times for a mere
look at a thief and no takers.
TAX PAYERS will see by the report OF proceedings .

HoRRInLE MURDER IN TENNESSEE. The Knoxville.
Tenn. Register of the 9th inst, has the following
relation -
Oae of the most horrible outrages that il has ever
been our lot to record, was perpetrated in the neigh.
boring county OF Cooke, about six or seven miles
from the town Of Newport, Just before day break on
the morning Of Wednesday, the 30ih ult.
The particulars, as they have reached lie, are
briefly az follows: A negro boy named Bill, owned
by Mr.. John Thomas, armed with a large axe, pro.
ceeded TO the chamber where his master and mis-
trees were sleeping, and attacked and mangled them
in q most shocking manner, cutting the arm and
breast of the won an, and breaking the arm of the
man in two places, and inflicting numerous other
wounds, Of which both, it is thought, will die
lie then deliberately set fire 10 the dwelling house,
stable, and all the OF .buildings.
A near %ueiehbor, named Benson, alarmed by the
noise and the burning buildings, was fastening to
the house, when Bill met him and despatched him
with the axe of which he still retained possession,
cut oil his head and threw the body into the burn
ing barn !!
BY this time a considerable number Of the neigh
bors had assembled. Bill, however, succeeded in
keeping Them all at bay with the axe, until a gun
was procured, when he was shot and thus disabled
from further resistance. He was then seized and
bound, and taken to Newport where he was lodged
in jail.

This was an, action To recover the amount OF three bills
OF exchange for fllS7, fsl2, and $4,000, dra wn by James
Demarest, at Rio Janeiro, in pursuance Of a letter of Gre
dit from Brown, Brothers < Co liverpool. Several
points were involved, one OF which vas that the letter
Of credit only authorised bills 10 be drawn at go days !
which plaintiff was aware Of, while two Of these were
drawn for 90 days. The Court thought this objecsion q
valid one, giving in favor OF plaintiffs for the bill at 90
days (belng for fIlS7), and against them on the others.
BENZ. Wade as e Pdrmsy-This was an actoa rela.
subject to a contingency. That contingency was re.
moved, but it vas contended that the character Of the
title became changed. The court decided that such was
not the case. The purchaser of such property is vested
with full right, the same as il no contingency had never
been intsrposed. Verdict for defendant.

Yesterday, the Britannia steamer for Boston, had
been out thirteen days. having sailed from Liver
pool on the 5th inst. She is a fast boat-hss had
favorable winds, and probably may have arrived
yesterday at Boston. If so, we shall receive her
news this morning. She may bring us the overland
mail from India, with important news from that
quarter. Our Extra will be issued from this office
in halt an hour after its arrival.
Also, important news may be received of the cleo
tionin Rhode Island, that Of the revolutionary party
having taken place yesterday. Ii blood has flowed,
we shall issue an Extra-if only beer and brandy,
none. We strongly suspect that beer has got the
upper hand Of blood, the former being far more pala-
table in these peaceful days.

EXP sRrMZNrAL IsDIAS TERRITORY We stated
in a late number that n treaty had been negotiated
with the Sioux by which a very large and extern
sive tract OF country had come into the possession
OF Gsvernment. We were aware at the time what
the object Of Government was in making this pur-
chase, but from prudential reasons, we concluded
il best TO withhold the statement. As we see it, at
least partially, mentioned by those engaged in
making the Ieaty, any objection to our speaking
particularly on the subject is Of course removed.
1t is p opposed by Government TO make another pur-
chase from the Sacs and Foxes, embracing all they
lay claim to on the South aad West OF this, aud to
place them in the New Territory that has just been
obtained from the Sioux. They are then to be set
off as a distinct Indian Territory. They are to
have a regularly organized Territorial Govern.
ment. The President is 10 appoint the principal
officers, as he now does in the Territories ; and the
citizen Indians are to elect their minor officers. In
this way ind are to be held out TO The In
dians TO become civilized. Every one should wish
to sco'so humane an experiment as the one in con-
temptation abundantly successful. This will be
far better than to send the Indians ON the other

he had become n petitioner in bankruptcy, and the pro-

Belts and Thompson, ofthe United States Court on the
subject, who are of opinion ~thatthey ought not to inter.
fere with the property Of a petitioner, until a decree Of
bank hiss been allowed, and his effects passed
into the hands Of the assignee. Even did they ~interpose
to prevent the action Of State Courts, the party still wss
at liberty to withdraw his petition. When a decree OF
bankruptcy has passed, the assignee will take snch nex.
