ceeded to the Mayors office and surrendered
himself to justice.
Gould, in our opinion, did perfectly right,
and would have been justifiable in shooting
his pursuer before he stabbed him. Had
every cowardly assassin who has cut and
slashed a. peaceablc citizens without pro-
vocation, during the past five years, been
shot down in his tracks, we should have had
less rowdyism and more security for human
life than we now enjoy in this region. No
law requires man to leopard his own safety
in retreating from reckless rufian, or, by
turning his back to him, enable his assailant
to make more sure his blows, or drive the
weapon yet deeper into the quiyering flesh.
II is not common sense, and our courts have
often decided that it is not law. We are no,
justified in taking life, when our own safety
does not require it, but when one blow is wei
aimed at the heart, common prudence sug
gests that man should not hazard another
nor give his foe the opportunity Of becoming
a murderer, by an unsuccessful retreat from
gang oe rowdies.
Such warnings are horrible--but they ar
necessary.-Pdisburgh Dispatch.

DEMOCRACY! RIGHT ABOUT FACE!-In 1917
Henry Clay made one of the greatest of his
many great speeches. In that speech he
advocated the expediency of Internal Improve
ments by the General Government, and DEM
onstrated the constitutional right of Congress
to appropriate money for that purpose. His
views were adopted, and several We rks, ma
tional in their character, were commenced.
Gen. Jackson came into power. 1t was soon
determined, by the party which calls itself
Democratic, that such works were unconsti-
tutional and the system was abandoned.
The construction of railway to the Pa
cifc, now seems to be popular; at least the
leaders of modern Democracy begin to think
so. Hence it is that several of Mr.. Pierce's
Cabinet, on their recent stump speech ex-
cursion, declared in favor of the construction
of such road by the National Government.
The Washington Union, the authorized ex-
ponent of everchanging Democracy, only a
few days ago contained long article to show
that it is no,c constitutional for the Govern
ment to engage in works of Internal Improve
ment
The constitution has not been changed
1t is the same that existed when Mr.. Clay
made the speech to which we have alluded.
| This is but one instance among many that
might be adduced to show that the leaders of
the modern Democratic party have no fixed
measures of policy. If they deem it neces-
sary to get into power, they will denounce
one day that course of policy, which they will
the next day advocate if more is to be gained
by advocacy than by denunciation.
The mandates of the leaders are implicitly
obeyed by the rank and file, and what is one
day odious Federalism on the next day be-
comes pure and unadulterated Democracy!
To make this change it is only necessary to
give the word "right-about facet" and with
the precision of old regulars, it is done.
This word has been given at Washington
and we venture to say that there is not lead
ing Democrat in all the land who will not be
willing to go before Justice of the Peace
and make an affidavit that he was always in
favor of Internal Improvements by the Gen
eral Government.-Indiana State Journal.

EVANSVILLE, Sept. Z.

Advices from Somerset, Perry county, o.,
give us intelligence of a terrible riot in that
place. The origin we cannot learn precisely
The Irish labcrers, on the Railroad, have the
fire arms belonging to the county, ip their
possession. Two persons were killed and
several badly wounded.
The Sheriff OF Perry county has sent here
for one hundred armed men, and one of our
military companies, the City Guards, under
Capt. Graham, have just started for the scene
of disturbance. More trouble is anticipated,
the life of the telegraph operator in said town
has been threatened, should he transmit any
requests for assistance.
We learn tho row commenced in Welch's s
Circus, last night, but cannot give particulars.

The Threat TO Assassinatc Louis Napo-
leon.

Raynaud, the Frenchman arrested in
London for sending letters to the Prince de
Jonville, offering to assassinate Louis Ma
peleon, has had u hearing and been held to
bail. The prisoner was probably under
some arrangement of mind. He said he
had been for long time suffering from III
health, which occasionally affected his in
tellect. He had been an inmate of hospital
at Southampton, where his hair was partly
shaved oil. Under these circumstances,
and for the sake of his wife, he implored the
mercy and consideration of the court. The
letters he wrote were read
In the first letter, after dwelling upon the
interest which he took in the welfare and
happiness of the Princes family, and the
feelings OF hPtred which he entertained, in
common with his oppressed countrymen,
towards Napoleon the Little who had de-
prived the Prince and his family of their just
right to the throne of France, the writer pro-

LARGE PURCHASE OF LAND IN VIRGINIA.
The Lewisburgh Chronicle states that the
Hon. r. NJ. Il. Hunter recently purchased
some $4,000 acres of mountain land lying in
Greenbricr and Nicholas counties, Va, for
himself and friend. Mr.. John Williams, of
Greenbrcr, who, several years ago, bought
$4,000 acres lying in that and Nicholson
counties, for almost trifle, has lately sold
about one half of the tract to Messrs. A. II.
Caperton and w. ii. mcfarland, who have
already disposed of 40 or $4,000 acres to u
number of respectable families. Mr., Will
liams has also sold another tract 5000 acres
in Greenbrier, which will be opened and i'm
proved Immediately. All this land is situated
in what was known, few years ago, as
wilderness.

WMIsKEY-SHooTING- Alcohol con-
tinues the war upon humanity, and has
achieved another victory. The use of in
toxicaling drinks, on Wednesday night, in
our sister city, induced one young man to
aim The dagger at his fellows heart, and he
was only prevented being murderer in ex-
ecution as he was in intent, by his opponent
shooting bullet into brain heated to
reckessness by alcoholic stmulants. That
some liquor-dealer might make a few dimes
by the Internal traffic, home, has, in all
probability, been rendered dcsolate, q young
man seems likely to fill an untimely grave,
another has been forced to sacrifice life to
defend his own-and the county will be put
to expense in trying him, in order to decide
how far he was justified in doing so.-Mcan.
while the demons who are at the bottom of the
whole transaction, whose internal whisky
fired the brain, nerved the arm, and aimed the
dagger, pursue their traffic, and are not held
responsible for the riot aud murder, the
bloodshed, groans and tears they cause! How
long will an enlightened public opinion
sustain them in their accursed business.
From the evidence in tho case, and from
what we learn, it appears that the young
men alluded TO were members of the Shif.

"su7ely," says the writer, in conclusion,
"enough has been said to make it evident
that the Englishman who, at the end Of his
days, has spent about an entire year of his
life in scraping off his beard, has worried
himself to no purpose, has submitted to q
painful, vexatons, and not only useless, bu,
actually unwholesome custom. He has dis.

which happens just now to prevail. We all
abominate the razor while we use it, and
would gladly lay it down. Now, if we see
clearly-and think the fact is very clear
that the use of it is great blunder, and if we
are no longer such a slovenly people as to be
afraid that, if we kept our boards, we should
not wash or comb, or trim them in decent
way, why can we not put aside our morning
plague, and irritate our skin no more as we

singular advertisement, "saysa Wisconsin
friend ,"attracted my notice few days ago
which seemed so entirely original and withal so

appears that some speculator has conceived
the bold idea of building city in Wisconsin,
and owning it all himself--an undertaking
which will certainly pay when it is success
full. The gentleman's advertisement closed
up with paragraph like the following:

An extract from the Hon. John p. Hale's
speech at the recent Wolfboro' IN H) Con-
venton.
Perhaps said Mr.. Hale, you expected was
going to make speech, but am simply
going to tell story of fugitve-and one,
too, which you may all have heard. Mr.
Hale then proceeded to recount, in a graphic
and most interesting manner, the particulars
of the arrest of Kozsta, the Hungarian refu-
gee. by an Austrian commissioner, and his
deliverance through the exertions of noble
and truly American officer, Capt Ingraham. ]
What American was there said Mr.. Hale,
whose heart did not beat a little quicker
when he read that story! What sick man
was there, even, who, when the doctor felt
his pulse that day, he did not say, "Your fe-
YER runs little higher to-day, my friend!'
Laughter and cheers.] Capt Ingraham
when he performed that manly act, touched q
chord that found response in every Ameri.
can heart--Even that dreadful class, the Old
Hunkers, felt it-they could not help it. II
was noble, generous, magnanimous act
and the whole heart of the nation vibrated
with new thrills of pleasure and exultation
at the recital of the story.
Why did they do SO! That was fagran
violation of the fugitive slave law. In th
words of that law, kozsta "owed service" t.
, the emperor of Austria. He had escaped
, and the myrmidons of the Emperor had re
| taken him. We interfered-we, that are s
, fond of enforcing the fugitive slave law a
, home, would not see it enforced abroad, an
the American stars and stripes protected tn
: poor exile at Smyrna, whatever they may d
at home. There was a great moral in this
| and it was great index, too. 1t told hiI
$ where the heart of this people is.

of women, may assist her by contributions.
She may be found at No. 2O6 Fulton street.
In several country printing offices, women
are employed as compositors, and, so far as
we can ascertain, their employers are satisfied
with the results of the experiment.
THE SMOKING LADIES OF PERU.-Accor-
ding to u recent writer, the women of Lima
are inveterate smokers. 1t Is no uncommon
sight, however startling the fact may appear
to those vaporish ladies', who would "oe of a
rose in aromatic pain," not to say anything
of the possible effect of the remote odour of
a Havana, it is no uncommon sight to see
pretty, delicate-lookiug Limanese lady
purchasing, at the open cigar-booths,
vigorous cigars, such as would stagger the
nerves of some of our most robust male
smokers. And they smoke them too; the
ladies' do not go about the street smoking,
but, like knowing smokers, take quiet puff at
home, while the more common women may
be constantly seen blowing at enormous
cigars as they walk about the streets.
Lola Monies lately challenged an editor in
California to duel, for certain remarks on
her dancing. She told him he must 'don
petticoats, 'and take choice of pistols, or take
pill from box in which two should be
placed--one of them poison. The editor
not liking either arrangement, concluded to
"cave," and in his next paper sang the
following tune ON her second performances;
"Every time she cut a pigeon wing, or
performed pirouette, the loud encore arose
from an appreciative audience, perfectly wild
with delight. On no former occasion in this
city has she appeared so bewitching, en-
chanting--on no former occasion has she
danced with such vivacity and spirit, poised
with such grace, or conducted her audience
so successfully thro' the regions of hiss.'
A word of kindness. 1t is a seed which
even when dropped by chance, is sure to
spring up flower.
