Superior Court.
Before q Sheriff's Jury.


JUNE l9.-Michdd Lane Us. John Reileher.-
This was an action for an assault and battery The
plaintiff is an upholsterer, in the employ of Belts
kelleher Belts carpet dealers, under the st. Ncho
las Hotel, and the assault committed by the de-
PENDANT, (Kelleher,) member of that firm. The
defendant admitted the assault, and the matter came
lefore the Sherilfs jury to assess the damages. MI
Belts, another member of the firm, and several EN-.
poyes in the house, testified to the assault, TO the
effect that high words had passed between the par
tics, and that kellcher struck Lane three or four
blows, scratching his face, making his nose bleed
&c The defendant introduced evidence In mtiga-
ton OF damages, showing that customer had Just
been in the store to make complaint against Lane
and that In q moment of great excitement he had
struck him. 1t was also shown that Lane after the
assault, had invited Kelleher to fight il out which
kelleher declined to accept. The jury found ver-
diet for SIS damages, which carries the same amount
OF costs.

A HANGING CASE IN KENrUcKY.-In December
last Charles Cushing was murdered in Lexington by
William Wright; the offence that provoked the fatal
shot being slight offence to the assailants wife.
On the 10Th inst, the prisoner, who had lain in
prison from thattme, was brought out for trial. and
was convicted of murder in the first degree. Cush-
ing kept confectionery, which the wife of the
prisoner entered in the dusk of evening" in presence
Of several witnesses, for purchase. Cushing mis-
took her for another person. placed his hand on her
shoulder, saying, +" How are you, prettylr In an
instant he discovered his mistake and apoogized,
but the lady left in rage, and soon after her hus-
band and she returned to the shop when the unortu-
nate young man was shot down in his tracks. When
the jury bad returned, after only twenty minutes
absence, and had announced their fatal Decree
most distressing scene was witnessed BY the crowd,
The prisoner, entirely overcome, let his head fall
on his breast, while his wife, his sister, and his
mother, gave vent to their anguish in heartrendig
screams. His wife threw herself upon his neck,
and exclaimed passionately, "0h, why, did 90
this why did / do this!' and " on how could
those men find him guilty, when they have families!
Oh ! l will die !" The screams gradually subsidized
into sobs Of grief and anguish while the mournful,
narrowing scene afflicted judge jury, BAR and spec
tators.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
In communication from Chicago in this morn
ing's HERALD, your correspondent states:-
In the important and aourishing city of Chicago
boastng of It's seventy thousand Inhabitants the atho
lies hold the political power. Not Protestant holds an
Office under the city government The Mayor and all
the subordinates either Irish orDutch Catholics and
there is not an American there who has any voice
the principal departments of the city government.
Now, as citizen of Chicago these remarks de-
mand most unqualified contradiction. The Catno-
lies number about third of the entire population
probably not so much. The Mayor Isaac L. Mil
hken, Esq, is an American and q Protestant, and
the whole of the city council, composed Of eghtesn
individuals contains only one Catholic representa-
tve-the remainder are Americans and Protestants.
Ia the entire city government, keeping off few
constabes and policemen, only three or four Catho
lies hold office, and these, may remark are Justly
and deservedy esteemed by the whole commu-
nity.
In other portions of your correspondents re-
marks, regret to observe a certain aniD,us regard
ing the foreign population Of Chicago, which ind.
Gates that his Information has been derived from
rather questionable source but which at present is
not worthy Of reference.

INDIAN ATTACK ufoS THE EMrGRANTs.-The last
Western mail brougL.s1s a somewhat disconnected
letter from j. q. James, giving account of depre
dations committed by the Indians on the property
OF parties migrating to California. The letter is
dated Loup Fork Of the Platte river, June 2, and
says;-"To-day company Of men from Howard
county, Mo-, came back to us for assistance. They
had been driven from their wagons by o party Of
Pawnee Indians. They had two wagons drawn by
cattle, 1000 sheep, and number of horses. This
company was commanded by Humphrey Cooper,
who was the owner Of the property. On the 29th
of May, ninety-eight miles from st. Mary, at the
Loup Fork, they were met by three Indians. They
stayed In camp all night, and called themselves
Sioux. They left the train and went ahead about
nine miles. When the emigrants reached that point
they were met by party Of Indian warriors, the
chief of whom was standing by the roadside. When
Captain Cooper was near him he advanced with rifle
and lance in hand, apparently to shake hands. But
Cooper saw his movements and told him to keep
OH, drawing at the same time revolver. The chief
gave way, the signal was given to his men, and
they commenced firing at the whites with rifles.
They had made breast work of hill about forty
yards of, and fired from this position. Captain
Cooper tried to get the wagons of, but the Indians
shot down the animals, and kept up continual
fire at the men. One of them (French Woods) was
killed, and ahorseswas shot dead from under an.
other man. A ball passed through Captain Coop.
er's coat tail, and his horse was badly wounded.
They were forced to themselves by fight leay-
ing oil their property behind them. They came to
US for assistance and we preparing to 60. Capt
J. S. Montgomery. of Rails county, is in command of
our company and when united with the other party
is between IS 900 and So 900. There are but few
emgrants on the route, and the Indians think they
have us in their power."-St. Louis Republican,

The Kickapoos have the privilege of selecting

All the Indian titles to land on the Missouri river

it is to be sold to the highest bidder.
In addition to what we said last week about the
Shawnee and Delaware treaties, we give the sub

The boundary Of the Delaware reservation is as
follows Commencing on Kansas river at the Wy
andott line, about mile below the military cross
ing at Delaware Post Office, running up Kansas
river in direct line, forty miles; thence north ten
miles, thence in an eaatery course to the mouth Of
creek opposite the Narrows, between Little Pl atte
and Missouri river. The balance Of their land Is to
be surveyed by the government and sold to the
highest bidder. After deducting expense of survey
and sale the net proceeds are to be paid to the
tribe. The government has stipulated to keep Off
all settlers till the land is sold.
The Shawnees have sold the entire southern and
western half Of their country (mostly pnirie) for
sixty cents per acre; the reservation Of 200 acres
for each individual of the tribe (about 700 in ally is
made from the other half, and the remainder sold
at the same price.
We suppose that the section Of the country from
the Wakarusa to Smoky-Hill is now open to settle

on Big Blue-indeed, all the territory belonging to
the United States-has long been open to settlers.
