YOUTHFUL lIoMrciDE-.A murder OF
very unusual character occurred il this
city yesterday, producing great and gene
raj excitement. We have not been able to
learn the precise facts, bnt they are in the
main as follows: 1t seems that two youth
named respectively Cudlip and Thomas
had an alteration at the Theatre Saturday
night, during which the latter threw rot
ten egg in The face of the former This so
inccnsed Cu1lip that he threatened 10 re-
new the quarrel on another occasion, and
las would sccm,) in expectation of doing
so, procured dirk knife with which b,
armed himself. The youths met again
yesterday morning, VI hen after the inter
change of some abusive language, Cudlip
stabbed Thomas in the pit Of the stomach,
the wound causing almost instant death
The murderer escaped, and at dark last
evening had not been arrested. a grca,
variety of reports were in circulation in re-
gard to the origin and progress of this sad
affair. most of Which were doubtless great
cxaggcrations or utterly without iuunda
ton. Among others, it was stated that
Cudhp showed his dirk to his parents, de-
clarlng. at the same time, " hat use he in
tended TO make oft; and that the only OK
crcise Of parental authority on their part
was simple caution TO beware of commit
ting any such act. We are reluctant TO
credit this statement without the most 20
sitivc proof. All the parties reside on
Shockoe Hill. The murder took place on
Broad street, in front of what is called
Lyons row where Cudlip lived. Thomas
hvcd not far If. As well Us we could
learn, they were hoth about sixteen wears
OF age. Duiing Yesterday afternoon a
large crowd assembled near the scene of
the murder, discussing the circumstances

scwnrd'- speech.

A criminal trial of extraordinary charac-
ter and unprecedented duration has been
for some months in progress at Detroit.
and has very naturally attracted a large
measure of public attention. The fact that
a considerable body of citizens, hitherto
respected and esteemed, many of them
thrifty farmers and fathers Of families,
some of them members of churches, were
arraigncd as guilty of arson, wantOn de-
struction OF property and the most reck-
less tri1ing with human life if not delb-
crate attempts to destroy it, very properly
excited profound and painful interest,
which the unequaled length of the trial has
not suiliced to disspate.
Gov. Seward, after repeated and ur-
gent applications, consented to appear as
counsel for part of the accused, and has
faithfully fulfilled the responsibility thus
assumed He had other duties pressing
upon him, and would gladly have been ex-
cuscd from attending this trial if he could
have felt justified IN so doing but he could
not And the moment 1t was announced
that he had undertaking the defense, the
slulccs of defamation were opened upon
him, as if he had himself been guilty of
some ahhorrcnt crime. The malignity with
which he was assailed by the J0urHal OF
Commerce. Buffalo Commercial, Detroit
Free Press, etc, was too intense and
unique to be covered by the mantle of Polit-
ical hostility 1t combined the meannesS of
spite with the ierocity Of dcadlleNt hate.
We trust no friend of the assailcd has even
stopped To notice the harkinc OF tins cnvious
pack. even though the first missile thrown
would have suilced to silence them. If IN
this free land men accused of atroclous
crimes are To be deprived OF legal defense,
by heaping odium on any eminent lawyer
who may be chosen 10 conduct II, We may
as well make way at once for Lynch law
OF the dospoti>m which now cruShes East
cn Europe
The merits Of this Conspiracy case We
leave to the jury. whose verdict NAV now
be hourly expected. But the fact that sew
eral of the accused were acquitted, by di-
rection of the Judge, even before the de-
itnsc was opened, shows that at least some
innocent men were included in the indict-
ment, and that a lawyer who undertook the
defense did not necessarily make himself
the accomphse or the shIeldof felons. And,
liz view of the great interest attached 10 this
ease. the important questions involved, and
the extraordinary assaults 10 which he es-
pecially has been subjected hy it, we dis
patched Reporter to Detroit expressly 10
report Gov. Stewards summing up for the
defense, Of which the first part is given =.

deep and lively interest, the subject and the
