Arrest of Three Indians for Mird1-Iheu SUICIDE
IN Prison, &C., 8-c.
Allow me to call the attention Of your readers to
the tragcal death of three Seminole Indians, whose
sad fate must excite the sympathy Of even their
bitterest enemies.
About a year since, little boy, living some fifty
miles northeast Of Tampa, was sent an GRAND
to a neighbours. Not returning at the proper
time, search was made for him, but without
success. Toward evening, however, the horse he
rode off returned, with Of the little fellows
suspenders plated in his foretOp. This Mt on,e
directed suspicion towards the Indians, as their
signs had been seen in that vicinity for some time
The whole matter remained a perfect mystery
until, few months since, Captain Casey, in his
intercour with the Indians at Fort Myers and
by thorough knowledge of their character, found
the boy had been murdered by three Indians be-
longing to the band Of outsiders. believe he i'm
mediately made formal demand for the mar
derers to Billy Bowlegs; the result of which was,
three Indians, accused OF the crime by the chief Of
their band, were secured at Fort Myers, and sent
to Tampa, to be delivered up to the civil authori-
ties at that place. AT preliminary examin alton,
they forced upon all who listened to it the convic-
ton of their innocence. They were remanded to
Jail, to await their trial this fall Whilst there
they made an attempt to escape; but, being do
tected in it, and feeling there was hope Of re-
gaining their freedom, they determined to hasten
their departure for the beautiful hunting grounds
of their Great Father. Accordingly, on the 2Sd
ult., they hung themselves in the Jail, having
BACKED their faces, and neatly arranged their
dress. From the position in which they
found, the youngest Of the party must have as
sisted the other two, the eldest Of whom was his
father, then placing himself between his two COM
panions, he Contaminated this triple suicide.
When first discovered in this position, there is
hardly doubt but the two young men could have
been resuscita ted. had medical assistance been
called in. Unfortunately for the poor Indians,
they fulfilled the wishes Of Christian community,
who were determined not to interfere with
marked a providence. To render the sacrifice
doubly sure, the Jail door closed upon tho sus
pended bodies until it certain life was extinct.
have no sentimental sympathy for the indian, yet
I feel perfect adherence for an act so entirely
unworthy civilized people. JUSTICE.

THE CABINET AND THE STATE TRIALS IN PENN
sYLvANA.-We learn from a private source In
Washington, that there has been considerable
disagreement among the President and his cabi-
net, concerning the proper policy to be pur-
sued respecting the State prosecutions in Penn
sylvania. 1t appears that correspondence took
place on the subject between the United States
District Attorney and the government; and, also,
between that funotionary and Governor Lowe and
Attorney General Brent, of Maryland. 1t appears
that Mr.. Crittenden, the Attorney General, re-
fused to give the United States District Attorney,
in Philadelphia, authority to incur expenses for
the collection of evidence against the persons in
plicated in the murder of Mr. Gorsuch, without
first receiving an estimate Of them; but that soon
after MIR. Webster's return to w sshington, such
authority was fully given. From this it would
seem that the cabinet disagreed among themselves
70 the proper course to be pursued in the matter
of collecting testimony. 1t is to be hoped they
have agreed by this time, in all respects; for the
law, which was most grossly violated in that riot
and murder, ought to be INDICATED by all means,
and at every hazard.
