Love, MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
dreadful affair, very much resembling the Brad
ley tragedy occurred yesterday about 2. NJ, at
. 10 Levee street. A young German, named Will
liam Smith, came to this country three months
, since in company with German girl, to whom we
. understand he was betrohed. During her resi-
dence here her affections have been enlisted tof
another, and Smith has been neglected lncited
to madness by jealousy, he yesterday visited the
house where she was employed, called her up
stairs, and then deliberately drew double-barrei
pistol from his pocket and discharged one of the
loads at the unfortunate female, sending the ball
completely through her neck. The girl, fell to the
floor, bathed in blood upon which Smith held the
other barrel to his own head and fired. The load
passed upward, and the ball lodged in the ceiling
leaving him unframed, except his face which was
much burnt by the powder. The reports of the
pistol aroused the household; Waterman Segurn
called in and Smith committed to his custody.
The poor victim was Immediately conveyed IN a
dying state to the Hospital, and there was hardly
any hope of her recovery.

OK THE FRNcE.-Is there any law to compel a
man to define his position Most certainly pub
lie opinion, which has neither chapter or volume, is
the mighty lever which presses out the views OF
public men, and then places them on platform, to
be shot at by whoever thinks them worthy of the
powder. A on-eommittal course, however, has
been pursued, and sometimes led to the highest
honors but the fox is generally unkenneed at
last and then he has to bid FAREWELL long fare
well to all his greatness" John Thompson was
aware Of this when he took neutral position in
public affairs by posting himself on the fence. To
demonstrate the matter he assumed practical ex-
position Of his views by selecting the white-washed
bounds Of the premises Of Mr. Smith, on Nayades
street. Night yelled the singular fancy, but the
eyes OF the Watch pierced through the misty COW
ering, and beheld Thompson astride of his hobby
The guardian of the public peace said he did no;

cliDed the controversy and sat upon his reserved
rights. In vain the officer insisted-in vain he
plead Thompson remained quiescent, and the Char
lie grew Indignant But matters approached a
crisis; Thompson was dragged from his high
estate, and with all his white-wsshed honors thick
upon him, he appeared yesterday in the prisoner,
| dock, to define his position. This being again re-
! fused, the unfortunate John was consigned to thu
| Workhouse, for maintaining an armed neutralit,
towards the Charlie, the Recorder, the world il

was presented full at his breast the click Of the
trigger told unfalerng hand, and as the cap exs
ploded down fell the robber while the others, with
one shout of terror a, the dreadful result, rushed
from the fatal place. But, strange to tell in an in
slant Thompson followed too. The gun had only
snapped, and Mr.. Lapassade, throwing away the
weapon, followed in pursuit. After short chase
he was enabled, by the assistance Of several cit-
zens, to capture Thompson, who, no doubt, sup
posed that he bleeding to DEATH and had stopped
in yard on Cont street, to examine his wounds.
The Recorder, after hearing this capital incident,
committed the accused to prison to await his trial
before the First District Court.
