HORRIBLE MURDFRlI

On Sunday last, Mrs. King, the wife of Mr..
William King, was shockingy murdered at her
own house, it is said, by one Of their own servant
woman. The facts, so far as transprcd, are as
follows:
On Sunday last. Mr.. King was from home;
Mrs. King had two OF her sisters staying with
her. In the course Of the day, Mrs. K became
disposed to take some repose, and the weather
being excessively hot, she spread pallet on the
floor, and whilst asleep, the servant girl, under
some pretence decoyed her sisters into the Or.
chard, and left them as she said for minute:
ran back to the house, seized an axe which she
had in preparation; went into the room where the
unfortunate lady was sleeping, unconscious of
any danger, and demon like, struck the fatal
blow which partly severed the head from the
body, so as lis supposedly to produce almost in.
slant death. The sisters Of the unfortunate vic.
tim returned TO the house in a short time; and
upon their arrival found their much loved sister.
whom they but few minutes before left quietly
sleeping, corpse, welterng in her blood in her
own house; the blow causing her death having
been inflicted by female servant, who without
restraint, threats or the promise of reward, by
her own acknowledgment, committed the horrid
Decd without cause or provocation on the part
oil her mistress who she says always treated her
kindly.
This is case Of almost unparalleled atrocity,
Tor which the perperaror is now in iail awaiti1o
her trial in November next, unless the JUDGE oI
our Circuit Court holds special term for the
disposition Of the case.
We understand as might we'll be expected
that Mr.. King the husband of the unfortunate
lady who has been the subject of the above de-
scribed awful tragedy, is perfectly inconsolable.
IL our pity would ameliorate his sufferings he
should have it in sincerity and abundance.

The Locos met in Baltimore

The Locos met in Baltimore
And found their ship had run ashore;
With might and main they tried to light her,
Which only made her stick the tighter;
AT length they cried there is no joking.
So let US all go straight to pok.ing.
They pOk ed out Cass, they pOk ed out Van,
The Commodore and Southern man,
Buchanan, Johnson and Woodbury.
These all they pof.ed out in hurry;
And when they thought the ship was free.
They pok ed in Polk OF Tennessee.
But 10! the old ship cannot sail,
She's fastened 10 a raccoon's tail,
And stuck so deep in bed OF CLAY,
That she can never get away;
So after all its but joke,
''You cannot come it," Colonel Polk.

From the paris Mercury.


AN INNOCENT MAN HUNG BY A MOB.
Our readers no doubt recolect that mob in
Arkansas, some years back, hung without Judge
OF Jury Mr. James Barnes, son Of Aquilla
Barnes, Of Missouri, charging him with having
murdered the "WRIGnT FAMILY" which was
so nhumanly murdered in Arkansas-Barnes all
the tins declaring his innocence, which, how
ever, avaed him nothing Circumstances have
since come to light which prove that he was limo.
cent Of the crime for which the mob so inhu.
manly put him 10 death. This is truly gratifying
to us, for we personally knew hm-we lived a
neighbor TO his lather, Aquia Barnes, and the
Barnes family, twenty six years ago. at Old
franklin, Howard county, Mo. His father,
grand. father and uncles were men Of high stand.
ing and responsibility, many Of them exemplary
members OF the Church OF Jesus Christ. How
painful it must have been to his father and
mother, the wife OF his bosom, with her helpless
babes, and his relatives, to be thus deprived of
his society: and 10 think too, that mob hung
him without Judge or Jury, under the charge OF
murder-thus blasting his fame, end putting
s'ain upon his poor little children, his unonending
wife, his aged father and mother, together with
his brothers and sisters his friends and relatives.
But we console them all, that though he died a
dsgraceful death, be died an INNOCENT man!
How painful must it have been to him to die SO
untmely, in the prime Of life ard in the vgoE
OF health, under such charge, his only consola.
ton must have been his conscious innocence.
We have many reasons for believing him limo.
cent, but we insert the following from the "Van
Buren, Intelligencer," an Arkansas paper which
shows who were the murderers OF the Wright
family and consequently proves Barnes to have
been an innocent man, most shamelully put TO
death, charged with horrid murder, about which
he knew nothing. Let this be q warning to all
who have any love for mobs or Lynch law. The
following is the extract alluded to-
"a correspondent of the Van Buren, Tntelli.
gencer, writing from Fayetteville, under date Of
Nov. 25th, says-"The two Stars and Reese,
who are charged with having murdered the
Wright family, are here in the county Jail. They
will be convicted upon the testimony of fifty
persons, who have heard them frequently boast
Of having done the deed. 1t is said the Grand
jerry of this county have found true bills against
the murderers Of Ridge; and also against John
Ross, as an accessory This is going to be tho
cause Of great excitement on the line."

c. F. JACKSON AND HIS CURRENCY
BILL,

Mr.. Jackson, in card "to the public
published in the Democrat of July 3rd
said:
''For the last twelve months or more, this same
'currency biIl'' as it is called, has been more
wantonly assaled, and its provisions more per.
verted and misrePresened than perhaps ever fell
to the lot of any other bill introduced into any
| legislative body Ii has been represented by the
press, public speakers and others, as proposing
10 fine and impriS0n any man, woman or child
in the land, who received or passed five or
three dollar note, This is not true"
Now we say it is true. Had Mr.. Jack
sons bill become law, any man, woman
or child, would have been subject to fine
and Imprisonment for passing or receiving
five or three dollar note. The following
is the first section Of this same currency
BILL" introduced into the Legislature by
Mr.. c. F. Jackson:-
l. From and after the first day Of July in
the year 1913, no corporation, corporate body.
or body polite within the Limits Of this State.
THE Bank Of the State Of Missouri and its
branches inclusiye) nor any money broker, ex
~"u''SC "N"'N'b VI Guy OEIci peIsOH sLdIl pass or
receive within the limits Of this State, any bank
note, or other paper currency Of any kind, prom.
ising or ordering the payment Of money or other
thing Of less denomination than five dollars; nor
of less denomination than ten dollars from and
after the first day Of January, in the year 1914.
1t will be seen the above section ex.
pressly prohibits any person from passing
or receiving, after specified time, bank
note, or any other kind of currency, of a
less denomination than ten dollars. This
section provides for no punishment against
its provisions, and of course would come
under the general statutory provision for
violations Of the law, which is a fine Of
500 and imprisonment, not to exceed two
or either SO it will be seen, had
Mr.. Jackson's bill become a law, any "man.
woman or child" for receiving or passing
a five or three dollar note, would have been
subject to a fine Of 500, or Imprisonment
for two months.
Mr.. Jackson had better acknowledge
the corn" and confess he did not under.
stand the provisions of his own bill.

THE BRITIsH PARTY.-A late London
paper says: The nomination of Mr.. Polk
for the Presidency, has created some sur
prise, and amongst those anxious to extend
connexions with the United States, no lit.
tie regret 1t has been generally believed
in England, that, had Mr., Van Buren, been
nominated, he would have succeeded at the
polls; and. that gentleman, having more en-
larged and liberal notions on the subject of
Free Trade than Mr.. Clay, was regarded
with friendly eye by parties here, who
care nothing about the result of the contest
politically considered 1t is believed in
England that the selection of nouveau
homme like Mr.. Polk must terminate in the
election of Mr. Clay by large majority.
The English manufactures are sincerely
anxious to get repeal of the duty on raw
cotton. They point TO the great extension
of cotton mills in the United States, and
assert. with some truth, that they cannot
compete with their rivals in the foreign
markets of the world unless, to use the

Dear Green--I arrived here just as the 'latan,
bearing the Polk delegation to BoonvilIe, was

cations from the counties Of Cole, Randolph and
Howard amounting in all to about one hundred
persons. They had quite a number Of Polk
Stalks and Banners with them. On some Of the
banners was the Lone Star OF Texas; others bore
the ms crptons Of Polk, Dallas and Texas, No
Protective Tariff, No United States Bank, and
other notices equally odious to all True Repub.

at heart They raised shout as they left, bu
did not get response from single person on
