Murder at Richmond, Missouri,
and Summary Execution Of the
Murderer,

A man by the name of Wingo was
summary executed by the populace of
Richmond, on the 18th inst, for the
murder Of very estimable citizen by
the name of Allen, of which we gave
some account on yesterday.
The murderer appe ars to have been
an abandoned reprobate, Stunned by all
as desperate and dangerous character,
and is supposed to have committed the
fell deed. merely through qualification of
most malignant disposition, as tits not
known that Allen, who is said TO have
been very exemplary man, ever gave
cause OF provocalion.
On the morning Of the 18th, Mr.. Al.
len. 10 company with friend, arrived IN
town, and, while yet on horseback, was
accosted in an insolent manner by VIM
60. who, gun in hand, told him that he
must retract. instantsr, what he had said
about him. Allen replied in calm aud
mild manner, that he was not aware OF
ever having said anything deroga,ory to
his character, and desired 10 be informed
OF what he had reference to, at the same
time requesting him rot 20 be too rash.
Whereupon. WiDgo, without more ado,
said. "damn you, Ill make You retract, .
and on ,ae instant fred his gun, blowing
off the whole top OF Aliens head. But

that he was not permitted to live long

HOW STANDS THE WEST.

IN Cincinnati. are only given on terms
which exceed The legal rates of inter est

tight, and there is an uncertainty how
long this state of things will so continue.
How far the West will he effected by
this check in the speculative movements
of the day. is problem which our mon
led men, and particularly our men who
want money, would be glad to have soIy.
ed The testimony ,ha, Western mer-
chants have been prompt to pay up. and
we presume il is certain that the balan
ces standing against them in the east are
not SO large that they may not be easily
liquidaied.
There has been M western money in
vested in railroads, that the subscribers
cannot spare out of their business with
out embarrassment. All, or nearly all
the large subscriptions to works OF this
kind have been made in the east, as have
been all the loans, ard all the credits for
iron. In fact, though railroads are pro-
Je cted TO every corner of the country,
three fourths of the ca ,,ital required for
their construction, is in eastern hands. -
The call then for money on r..;;iroad &C.
cones, is here little felt. The sections
of country through which these roads
pass. have all the advantages Of The out.

the advantages of their operation, with
GU, the onus Of their debts. The sud

demand from abroad. consequent upon
the short crops in Europe, has added an
enormous sum TO the available mean, OF
The grain and pork producing States
The increase Is positive; and as the de-
mand will continue until the coming in OF
the next crop, it will affect favorably all
the surplus that can be spared. When
we remember tina, the crops of the States

Wisconsin and Iowa, have been usually
abundant, and that The facilities for cheap
transportation are better than ever be
fore, We may safely conclude tha. the
West. for a twelvemonlh, at least, will
no, feel very acutely the pressure that is
now felt in other quarters. Doubtless
much prudence will be required in the
management Of business. Credits will
be shortened up, and promp, payments
exacted. But if the worst comes, the
