EXCITEMENT AT LExISGroN-Ndge Buckner
and The jury burnt IN e6iyy Lafayette Shelby
who was recently tried at Lexington, KY, tor
killing MIR. HORNE, was few days ago DIS
Charged on bail, the jury IN the case being un-
able to agree on Il verdict. This, it appears
created Tremendous excitement in the public
mind. 4 correspondent of tho Washington
Union, under date Of the 18th instant, details
the following subsequent acts of outrage
Handb!s denounclng the Judge, MIR. Clay,
the volunteer council of the prisoner, and the
eight Jurors who were understood to have been
for the aGquittal of Shelby, where circulated
over the town; and the most superficial OBJ
server could discern the deep md irritated con-
diton Of the public mind. To day, an open
demonstration Of the popular feeling was made,
and for time threatened the most serious con-
sequences. At daylight, the cfiges OF Judge
Buckner and the eight jurors were found sus-
pended by the neck Immediately in front OF the
courthouse door; an attempt on the part OF
the TAILOR to remove them was met with such
a determined resistance by the getters-up of the
effigies, that no further effort to remove them
was made. At 10 O'Clock, a crowd of from
5000 to 5 900 people from the county and of
the city had assembled in the courthouse yard;
and an address was made to them by Colonel
Robert J. Wilson, approving Of this expression
of the popular indignation, and denouncmg
Judge b. and the Jurors; after which a series Of
resolutions were passed unanimously, the sub
stance Of which was 10 condemn the judge,
and asking his unconditional resignation, and
providing for the taking down and burning of
tho efigies.
After some further proceedings, the figures
were taken down, and carried In procession
through the streets. Upon Judge BIS elfigy
label was to be seen of, "The judge without
justice, " and his name in front Upon the fig
uros Of the jurors, "bribery, p Jury," SC, with
their Names was labelled. A band played the
"Rogue's March," and at length the procession
stopped in front of the courthouse; the etfiges
were piled up, the judge on top,and were con
sumed by fire, the musicians playing the "dead
march" the while. An hour ago the immense
crowd dispersed in good order, after an an
nouncemcnt Of a meeting for tonight. A mo-
ton was made this morning in the magistrates
court-thls being county court day-to remove
the figures; but the Justices very prudentIy de-
clined taking any step in the matter. 1t was said
that Mr. Clay's etiigy was hung up at the mar
kat-house, but did not see it; and am incG-
ned to doubt the fact, though he was denounc-
ed in general and bitter terms by the crowd for
his speech upon the trial.

Tariff.

The History and Eiynlo7qgy Of the rcOrd Tdrif.
Words represent things. The meaning or etymol-
ogy of word, may teach the origin and history Of
the things which it represents. The tariff has long
been vexed question in the councils of this confed-
eracy, and it will probably be chief subject of dis
cussion by the present Congress Itmay be Desirable
therefore, to establish the origin and meaning of tie
word tariff, matter Of curiosity if not Of posi-
tive utility.
recent writer in the Union, the organ of the
federal government, who signs himself Buadelcund'
in his essays the tariff, attempted very properly IN
his first number, to assign the etmoogy of this word
This he extracted from Richardson's Classic Lexicon
of the English language. Richardson, however,
alike with Johnson and Webster, were ignorant Of
the true derivation of the word, simply because it is
of Arabic origin, and they had not studied that Ian
guage.
The word tGrif is of Saracen Arabic origin, and
is derived from the verb ari, signfyng 10 knop. BY
prefxng the letter T, in the second form of the verb
0rif, it becomes tariff and then means 10 make olr
tariff, therefore, is simply NOTIFICATION or thing
made known. 1t corresponds to the kHotc ye Of legal
public notices Among the soldans of Egypt and
Syria, where the word first used, 1t emphacally
meant kTlo,c ye.

CAPTAIN FREMoNT-Perhaps no man of his age,
in any country, has gone through such amount Of
labor and exerton of body and mind Captain
Fremont. From the age of twenty the canopy of
heaven Las been his covering the mountains and
plains, the lakes and rivers from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico to the head of the
Mississippi, have been his home His military
reconnaissance in which he was engaged became also
scientific explanations and geography, botany, geolo-
gy, astronomy, meteoroogy, receive each much
attention from him if each had been his sole pur
suit The fruits of all these researches are recorded
in journals daily written in the field. Materials for
maps and drawing daily collected; few months
of Office labor prepare all for publication and with
out waiting to any thing published, the impatient
gentlemen Immediately sets off upon new expeditions.
Mathematics are the favorite study of Captain
Fremont-botany his favorite recreation but all the
sister sciences come in for share of his attention,
and the languages, both ancient and modern, not
neglected. Greek and Latin with his school
education French and Spanish have been added ;
German is in course of acquisition; and his whole
life divided between field labors and literary studies.
His Life is pattern, and his success an encourage
ment to all the noble minded young men of America,
who despisng life of sloh and ease, aspire to dis
tinction by their own meritorous exertions.

Message not so intense as some of our peaceful
politicians anticipated and the signs are certainly
favorable for continued peace, if the manly
mendatons of President Polk are seconded as Amer-
cans should respond. The British bully eOvers, and
the London Times is endeavorng TO enlist sympathy
by appealing to France, and Europe generally.
Notwithstanding our occasional correspondents
letter, we still augur peace. But it will be obtained
only by prompt action on the part of the peoples

of our opinion, we may merely remark that the

toms of improvement at the very latest dates. Our

AT the Locofoco Sth of January Convention, the
committee to draft resolutions reported one, among
others, approving " the Butler BILL it called,
which adopted by the Convention. Gov. Whit
comb, hearing Of this took the alarm, at so heavy
responsibility, it left him for lodging, and
at the next session of the Convention this resolution
was erpunged, and mention made of it in the
published proceedings. Now, if, as the JefersOnian
would have believe. this is Democratic arrange
ment, of the Governors hatching, why did the Con-
vention that nominated him for reelection, back out
from their endorsement of the SOURdneSS Of the egg 2!
The above is from an article headed 4" Whitcomb
and the State Debt which appeared in TIE New Castle
Courier. Like most of the assertions in the article,
the above is entirely untrue. The only resolution
which reported by the committee referred to, and
which adopted by the Convention without dis
senting voice, was the following:
Resolved, That the Democratic party of Indiana, in
Convention assembled, do now, heretofore, repud-
ate all sentiments action looking towards the repu-
diation of the honest debts of the State and believe
that reasonable opportunity should be omitted by
the proper authorities to adjust and arrange those
debts, so as to bring them within the acknowledged
of the State to meet at the earliest practicable
period.

WASHINGTON, Saturday night, Jan. "a, 1916.
DEAR SIR The news, per telegraph, this eve
ming is that Lord John Russell finding ii impossible
to adjust ministry, Sir Robert Peel, and tie late
cabinet again in possession of the government.
Two of those named as members of the new wing
ministry (Lord Russell and Palmerston) were tho
roughly committed against the Oregon question
more so than Peel and his colleagues. Yet l do
not believe that the failure of the wings to organize
a cabinet will do any good on that point. Oregon
will not be surrendered TO without fight for it, by
either party in Great Britain. Our people are re-
solved to have all Of Oregon, and will try (God being
their helper to take possession of it. Ergo there
will be fight. Thus reason, think conclusive
ly. Yours in haste, w.
find, by experience, that some reaches here
per telegraph, which are not true. l give you the
above as It comes to US.

In giving the Legislative history of the BILL which
has created so much excitement we were governed by
the endorsement on the back of the engrossed bill,
which states that it was introduced by Mr.. Parker on
the 18th January read twice and referred to the
Judiciary committee-Jan 10Th, read third time and
passed. Wishing to investigate the matter fully, we
have examined the manuscript journals of the House,
now in our possession as Printers the State of the
lOtl ana out Unu no nOllce OF IIe Dill ellLer
having been introduced passed, and we believe
notice of this kind is in existence In the journal of
the House, the following remarkable entry appears,
which has been erased by the clerk, to wit
ION motion by Mr.. Parker, No. 412. joint
resolution the subject of the Oregon territory
This is the very number of the bill, about which
other notice is to be found on the Journal How
this identical number became identified with an Ore
gon resolution, we are unable to tell There must
have been action to call the attention of the
clerk to this number
In the Senate however, the endorsement on the bill
and the journal of the Senate perfectly agree. The
endorsement reads thus: Senate: Jan. 49, read LIST,
I'd and Sd times and passed" The following is all
the proceedings of the Senate in connection with the
bill, which will be found in the proceedings of Jan.

we insert at full length, to-wit:

The Washington Union, speaking of the change
in the British Ministry, says
GO We have no time to cast the horoscope, and TO
calculate with any precision the results which may
befal onr own country. But it is impossible not to
that two consequences may be produced from the
new formation. The is, that new ministry
may lead TO a new state of their foreign relations
well of their domestic policy; and the other is,
that as it has arisen in considerable degree from
the ree-rade system, it may be disposed to view
in a favorable light the decided recommended
tons of the Presidents message, for the relaxation
of our own tariff Perhaps this approximation in the
interest of the two countries, may lead to
catory spirit on the part of England, and stronger
disposition to adjust her relations with the United
States, in other respects, juster and more AMIGA
bic basis But every thing is yet at sea-.
