MURDER AND ARREST OF THE ACCUSED
A most tragical murder occurred at sain'
Louis, several days ago, under the follow
ing circumstances: Two men, named Bald.
win and Mathews, arrived on board the
steamer Laclede, from Helena, Arkansas.
and put up at the Mo. Hotel. On the fol.
lowing evening near shutdown, they were
seen taking a walk together near a lime
kiln, in the surburbs of the city, where the
report of a pistol was heard, but excited
no suspicion at the time. Baldwin return
ed to the Hotel alone and asked for the key
of their lodgings, but was informed that his
had it, when he remarked he would
60 and get it. He returned again with the
key, took from the trunk of his friend some
five or six hundred dollars, and started i'm
mediately for the home of his fridnds near
Boonville.
The body of Mathews was found, and
suspicion settled upon Baldwin, he was pur-
sued, overtaken and brought to st. Louis,
with the money and watch of the deceased
upon his person. When taken he acknwl-
edged his guilt, and the only excuse he Of
fered for the attrocious murder was, that
Mathews had mistreated his sister,-they
were brothers-in-law.

SUSPENSION OF GEN. SCOTT.

1t will be seen by reference to the Tele-
graphic dispatches in another column, tina.
Gen. Scott has been suspended from the
command of the army in Mexico. The
governing facts that led to this Executive
move are not sufficiently known to the pull
lie, to justify a full opinion as to its merits
or dement's. The hasty grounds taken by
that mammoth sheet at st. Louis, will fail
Of an impression with the reasonable, when
it is remembered that to know and to con
denim the Presidents acts, are synonymous
with the Republican. It will be remember
ed BY our readers that Scott had placed un-
der arrest Worth, Pillow and Duncan, on
account of circumstance growing out of
the publication of certain anonymous let
tiers written from the army. And the par
ticular offence, as we understand it, for
which Worth was arrested, was the prefer
ring of charges against Gen. Scott to the
War Department on account Of those ar
rests. 1t appears that Worth had nothing
to do with the sTampico' and sLeonedas'
letters, of which he was charged; but pre-
fsrred charges against the commander-in-
chief, which was deemed a contempt by
that officer, and a reason for his arrest. 1t
is said that those charges have been instru-
mental in procuring the suspensions Scott,
and the release of Worth. The question
at issue appears to be the right of an off.
Ger to prefer charges against his superior
Without passing an opinion upon the
the military law, or regulations of the army
it does appear to US, that to cut of al
means of complaint, or report, from thu
army, except through the hands of the chic
commander, would be placing dangerou'
power in the hands of that officer; anG
would leave room to be practiced a system
of tyranny incompatible with the freedom
of American officers.
Pillow and Duncan are still under arrest,
and will be court martialed, we presume
Gen. VIM. o. Butler is left in command Of
the army, being next in rank to Scott.

FREE TRABE.-At the recent opening Of
the British Parliament that body became
at once involved in a discussion concern
ing the causes of British commercial en-
bdrrassmsnts, and the proper remedies
therefor. Currency doctors differed on
the subject. Some ascribed the distress to
restriction bills on the issues of bank notes;
others to the Temporary suspension of those
restrictions; and every variety Of opinion
was expressed The Parliamentary logic
ians evidently have not learned that all of
their tinkering canuot prevent the laws OF
trade from exerting their controlling in
~auence, and that arbitrary acts by Govern
ment may derange, but cannot benefit Blu.
%siness. In the country where every change
is ascribed to Government, and where Gov
eminent interferes in almost every
thing, it is natural enough that the people
should look to Parliament to remedy all e"
wills, whether sPringing from railroad mani
as, or general famine. Their statesmen
have not yet attained to that degree Of pol
itical truth which teaches that the business
inteTe of a country can take better care
of themselves than the politicians can-that
the wearer Of the shoe knows best where Il
pinches, and can devise the best way Of
getting rid of the difficulty. The Bank OF
England is, in itself, a national curse, sub
jecting the business of a great nation to ell
the fluctuations Of governmet credit and
political contests. The public mind Of En-
gland will have to settle down on the nom

LOUESCLNe, JAN. II, To A. N.
A difficulty occurred to-day in Washing

Mr.. Brent supposed that MIR. Johnson had
charged him with a want of courtesy, which

Judge Legrand hereupon interfered.

Mr.. Johnson has gone to Annapolis, it is

THE TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS.

1t is a matter of accommodation to the
whole country TO receive the earliest intel
iigence of the proceedings in Congress, es-
p~ecially here in the West, where the mails
are so long in reaching US. As a public
convenience, the Photographic reports'
are looked to by all parties as a faithful ex-
ponent of the political moves of that august
assembly-the National Congress. But
when such an engine of first impressions
of truth, becomes so much perverted, as to
lend itself to party influence, its virtues are
lost, and the acknowledged public benefit
is converted into an instance Of apparent
National depravity. That it is the will of
the people of the West, of either party, to
receive partial reports Of the debates in
Congress, We do not admit for a moment.
They want a faithful detail of facts as they
transpire, without the suppression of truth,
or a party coloring by any agent or report
er for the Telegraphic lines. These re-
ports are made out, and furnished to the
presses at the ends of the lines, for a COM
pensation, and they have to publish them,
or be outstriped by their contemporaries in
giving their patrons the news.
The evil of which we speak is brought
about by the engagement of some ndrrOw
noddle knare to make off the Congression-
al synopsis, who reports such matter as
pleases him ~best-giving with it his COM
ments and opinions gratuitously. For the
evidence of the bias character of his re.
ports, we refer our readers to the despatch
es on the first side of the Banner, telegraph
ed for the St. Louis Union. If this state of
things is to be persisted in, it is difficult to
~foresee the corrupting consequences grow
ling out of it. A strife will probably grow
up for the control of the lines; to secure
which, the most fra udulent means will be
employed and praticed until the people will
lose all confidence, and the invention its
efficacy. We regard it as the duty of the
press and the public, to d~enounce any such
mental efforts, and of the te~legraphing COM
pany to discontinue any such agent or re-
porter.

LOOK AT THIs.-The President says that
the State of Texas extends to the Rio
Grande. Tie Government organ says that
Texas extends to the Rio Grande. All the
Locofoco papers and all the Locofoco poll
~ticians in the country say that Texas ex-
tends to the Rio Grande.
Now if Texas extends to the Rio Grande,
then Santa Fee, which is on this side of the
Rio Grande. is a part of Texas. Yet we
learn, by the latest news from Santa Fe,
that the Legislature of New Mexico is at
this time sitting at Santa Fe under the
prOtectsOn Of the army ofMe United STATES,
and this Legislature is engaged an the con-
'sideratiOn Of a bill providing for the dd-
mission Of Nsw Mezico as a State into our
charlottesville Journal.
This is not all, the Congress of the Uni
ted States declared unanimously that Tex
as extended to the Rio Grande, by extend
ing the jurisdiction of the United States
to that.river. John Quincy Adams made a
speech in favour of that act, and previous
ly declared that Texas extended to the Rio
Grande at the very spot where Gen. Tay-
lor was afterwards attacked by the Mexi-
can army. But it has not been "asserted
by the President" and "all the Locofoco
politicians in the country that the State
Of Texas extended to the Rio Grande in
New Mexico where the town of Santa Fe
is situated.
