Tragedy at Maysville.

p The Cincinnati Gazette, of Thursday, furnishes
the following account of fatal ARRAY which oc-
cured on board the steamboat Irene, at Maysville,
on Monday morning last: =. '
1t appears that an old grudge existed between
James Casey, son of Mr.. j. b. Casey, OF newport
and Mr.. Byers, editor of the Maysuile Eagle, hay
its origin in an offensive note which had been
written by the former to the sister of the latter we
understand, however, that an apology had been Of
fered. which was not accepted, and that a chal-
,enye to a duel had been sent by Mr.. Byers but
was declined by Mr.. Casey. All OF which transpir-
ed some months since. On Saturday last, Mr.. Ca
sew visited Maysvile, bnt fearing attack remain
ed at his rooms, in the Goddard House, during
the whole of Sunday. On Monday morning he had
taken passage for home, when he was confronted
in the cabin by Mr. Byers and friend. After
some conversation between the latter and Nh.
Casey, and Just at the moment the boatwas leaving
shore, which probably FASTENED the wretched de-
movement Mr.. Byers seized MIR. Casey by the
throat, who Immediately drew revolver and fired
three bullets-two Of which took effect near the
heart of the unfortunate Byers and resulted in death
q few hours afterwards.
Mr.. Byers also held pistol, but was unable to
manage the trigger in time to use it. ~, a.a.i,.
Mr.. Casey was Immediately arrested, stood an
examination and was acquitted, on the ground that
he was justified i'll firing in self-defence. 1t was,
in every respect, wretched affair and furnishes
pointed commentary on those false notions of 'per-
sonal honor and "sef-vindication," that prevail
in the South and to too great extent in the North

Thc ,Tvo.Thirds Rule.

We had proceeded, in our last article, to the
Democratic Convention. of 1874, and had noticed
merely the fact that, in 1852, new and unknown
candidate had been nominated, contrary to the e1-
pressed wishes of the people, in Primary Conven-
ton. Democratic friend has suggested to us that
we closed our article when we did, because no one
ofthe prominent candidates before the Convention
of1s52 ever received majority of the votes of the
whole Convention. 1t is true, we believe that
neither Mr. Cass. Mr.. Buchanan, nor any others OF
the peoples candidates, ever received a majority;
but it is equally true that, had it not been for the
two-thirds rule, one of them, we think MIR. Cas-,
would have received majority carly in the ballot
ing though, rs the same gentlemen suggests, there
would have been some difficulty in getting the
spoils men" in different ranks, to unite cordially
ON one man from fear of the non equal distrlbn-
ton of"place Gifts" which are SO generally the
moving consideration Of the wire-workers, who,
too often, control the destinies of our country.
While this may be true, and we fear IT Is, 1t only
shows more potently the necessity of ga cleansing
of the sanctuary" and of the peoples at once, and
fol- themselves resuming the powers, which to them
belong, and of saying in the thunder tones of abso
lutte sovereignty to their hreling servants: "You
shall carry out your wishes and select the most
available and able of the prominent men we have
presented TO you, and not sacrifice our interests,
our honor and our decision, merely because you
may thereby fail to secure place and may have
more able competitors for the spoils." Had that
Convention done its duty, had it performed the
work as the CONSTITUENT" had ordered them, had
it not dared to sacrifice the expressed will of the
people Of the whole Union, and thereby violate its
own second resolution, by "palsying the will OF
The constituent" they would have dropped the
lowest candidate and presented to the option OF
the American nation, man, who, whatever might
have been his political principles, would yet, by
his intellect, his known character, his distinguish
ed public services and high standing, have been
an honor to the whole country. assn t-..

Just after this came his other service of peace, in
settling the quarrel between Maine and the British
authorities of New Brunswick; a quarrel which
was on the point Of coming to blows, that bloody
national conflict would have been sure to follow.
The difficulty sprang out of the uncertain terms by
which our original treaty of peace with GreatBri-i
tain Chat of 1889 had described 1.-THE limits that
were to divide US from the British province. Re-
peated conferences of ambassadors and commission
ers had attempted to settle how the line should be
drawn, according to the treaty; but they had all
failed. In this manner thing which would at
first have been easy to adjust became at last very
hard to ADJUST For the strip OF territory
small and barren, which originally lay inthe heart
of dreary wilderness, remote froman settlements
on either side, came gradually TO be approached
from both sides by the spread of populations nay,
to have within it. at several points, small settle
ments, q part of them made by Americans and a
part by British. Each ofthese claimed, of course,
to belong to the country frcm which the settlers
came, and looked on the settlers from the other
side ntruders. So, too, the respective local au-
thorites: both Maine and New Brunswick held
the jurisdiction to be theirs. Both sold the timber
it, for the soil was worthless, the timber alone
of any value, and the business of "lumbering,"",
the only pursuit which led people thither 1t
was, in short, "a quarrel not about the land but
the timber on It. But this was all the worse for,
as to the soil, they could have waited for negot-
alton between the two superior Governments to
settle the right: nobody could carry of the soil
but not so the timber; that the lumbermen on eth
er side would have been sure to run away with be-
fore any negotiations would agree about the true
boundary. Wen, the result of all this had been a
viole mt quarrel between Maine and New Bruins
wick. Both had sold to their people rights to cut
timber; both considered themselves bound TO up
hold their own jurisdiction and the rights they had
conveyed to their citizens. First, their lumbemen
fell out then their magistrates; and finally their
governors and legislators. At first it was war of
writs and arrests; but presently there was resis
tance and the posses had to be called out. Posse,
however, met posse, arrest met arress; until, at
length Maine called out her militia, and the Gov
ernor of New Brunswick marched his troops; while
our Congress taking up the note of war, placed at
the disposal of the President ten millions of dol
lars and fifty thousand troops Wa: seemed al
most certain: allow had only TO be struck; and
both, Maine and New Brunswick stood ready to
strike it. It was in this very threatening state of
things that Gen. Scott was sent thither. The Gov
ernment had already interfered and concluded a
