MURDER IN ANN STRICT "A young man named
Patrick Daily, waiter in the eating establishment
kept by Edward Windust, in Park Row, was killed
on Monday evening under the following circumstan-
ces A colored boy named Johu Edward Robinson,
entered the refectory about IL o'clock, and ordered
several dishes for persons at Barker's rooms, NO
Spark Row, where he is engaged as servant
he took them cut, and returned shortly afterwards
with the plates. While in the rear part OF the base
ment, lie remarked to Patrick that his slippers
were not quite as comfortable or as neat fit he
should like them, when Patrick asked him if he
could expect slipper to fit darkee as neat as
white man. This led TO words from the colored
boy, when Patrick ordered him out Of the pantry,
and refusing, he put him out into the passage way
with the assistance of Roderick, an associate
waiter. The colored boy then went into the
kitchen, whe Patrick elected him, and he and
Roderick followed him into Ann street through the
rear entrance of the refectory The colored boy
ran up the middle of the street, while Patrick fol-
lowed after him on the sidewalk When the for
mer came opposite the rear entrance OF Bankers
rooms on Ann street, second door from broadway,
he rushed suddenly across and succeeded In getting
within the door before Patrick could reach him.
The latter and Roderick then returned towards the
entrance to the refectory, when the door where the
colored boy had entered was suddenly opened,
and he rushed out with the bar of the door raised
in his hands, and struck Patrick on the left side Of
the head, telling HIM to the pavement senseless
The colored boy then ran back into his place OF
refuge. Patrick was taken up nsenslble, and a
physician Immediately called in, who ascertained
that the blow had caused fractures OF the skull on
the lett side, that in few hours after produced
death. He spoke but once after the blow. That
was in answer to question of the physician, whe
asked him if his head panied him, when with
much difficulty he replied eyes"
Robinson was arrested yesterday morning, about
a.s -. Ill Il
Denniston, at the room OF Barker. 1t appears that
he was not aware of the death of Daily until he
was informed by thetoficers. He says he acted
in selfdefence, believing that unless ne defended
quest was commenced by Coroner Rawson, at
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and continued
until nine o'clock last evening. The investigation
elected no new facts, and the result was verdict
of "death of deceased from blow given by the
colored boy Robinson, by blunt instrument"
The deceased was inferred yesterday afternoon,
and his funeral was largely attended
GEN. JOE SMITH AND HIS ENEMIEs-DoINGs IN
THE Holy CITY.-But short time since the ru-
mours that were ahoat concerning this part Of crea-
ton, represented Gen. Joe Smith as having got
into trouble, as beleagured on all sides by COM
bination of the dlsaffected, determined eclips-
ing the glory and fair fame of the Prophet. Joe is
match for them yet his star is still in the as
cendant, for instead of being convicted culprit,
he has with great dexterity turned the tables upon
his accusers-obtaned his discharge-returned in
triumph to his functions, and procured an order
of the High Council of the city of Nauvoo, cutting
off for apostacy, Blakesley, Higbee, Ivans, and
Cowles, the principals in the late flare up.
The Prophets case came before the Municipal
Court of Nauvoo, upon return to writ of habeaS
corpus upon petition of Smith, setting forth that he
was in custody by virtue of writ of capeas nd res
pOndendNnl, issued at the instance OF one Francis
M Higbee that the proceedings against him are
illegal the warrant informal; that the plea is de-
iclcnt because based upon charge unknown to
law. Joe further states that the whole case was
originated in spite and malice, and desire to place
with praying tor the benefit of the writ, that the
whole matter may be investigated according 10
law and justice.
The result of the whole is, that Higbee not APP
pearlng to show cause against the petition, and nu
merous witnesses being examined, all corrobora-
ting the allegation set forth by defendant, and nu-
merous learned discourses from Joe and his coun-
sell wherein he FACILITATES with the weapons of In
vectlve and retaliation the aforesaid aposates and
renegades-the result is, that the Prophet is dis
charged " to go thence without delay" and T. M.
Iighee sentenced to pay the cost

Hooks from the utterTnOSt parts oil the earth; the
temple being bull with admirable celebrity; that

of iniquity, and that the Lord has trapped his

The same paper contains " Joe's last, in the
form of epstle to all the world and part OF the
next, on the government and policy OF the United
States. 1t seems as intended to define his posi-
ton," after the manner of the great men, more
especially candidates for the Presidency, OF which
he is one. 1t is pretty long and has many curious
and racy passages, of which the following is fair
specimen.
"We have had democratic Presidents; wing
Presidents; pseudo democratic wing President,
and now it is time to have President of the Uni
ted States and let the people of the whole Union,
like the infexlble Romans, whenever they found a
promise made by candidate, that is not practised
officer, hurl the miserable sycophant from his
exalted station, as Ged did Nebuchadnezzar to
crop the grass of the field with beasts heart,
among the cattle"
The idea of tranforming Presidents into quadru-
gerous in the hands of either wing or democrat
and we oplne that all respectable horses would kick
out the BILL every judicious ass bray for repeal
of the naturalization laws, and that oxen in gene
raj would not swallow such an invasion of their con-
stitutiOnal rights-if Presidents are as bad as Joe
says they are.
