not Beethoven. On Sunday evening, the
town goes early to bed, and by midnight
Broadway is nearly silent and nearly deserted.
On other nights, its glare, and noise and
throng have scarcely begun to subside at that
hour. On Sunday night, the city seems in

TIE WARD TRIAL.-Although jury has
declared that Matt Ward was not guilty of
the murder ofProf Butler, it appears that the
people are by no means satisfied with the YER
dict, and though the scoundrel has escaped
the gallows, it seems more than probable that
he Will carry the mark of Cain upon his fore
head, as long as he lives. A telegraph dis
patch from Louisville, dated May |, says:
A meeting of the citizens was held on Sat-
urday night, when resolutions were adopted
requesting Mr.. Crittenden to resign his seat
in the Senate, and Mr.. Wolfe to resign his
seat in the State Senate, and also requesting
Ward to leave the State.
A mob proceeded TO the residence Of the
Ward family and burned effgies of Matthew
and Robert Ward at the front door. The
wood work of the dwelling took fire, but the
FIRE was extinguished before much damage
was done.
The Louisville Journal of Friday, makes no
comments whatever upon the result of the tri-
al The Democrat, however, expresses its
disapproval in the following strong language:
We have been denounced for the mildest no.
tee of this case heretofore. We were told to
wait for the regular course of justice. Well
we have had the regular course Of iustice-we
have had law and order ; and what has law
and order done: God deliver US from law and
order, if these are their fruits. We know that
the popular mind and heart are right on this
subject. Public sentiment did not do the
deed. 1t seeks no vengence, but justice; JUS
ticB is outraged; one ofour purest, and noblest,
and most useful citizens has been slaughtered
IN our midst. Law and order says he was
killed in self defence. Was ever such a judi
cial lie uttered before high heaven We care
not what others may think; nor do we wish to
wound the feelings of the innocent; but we
shall write and publish what we please in the
name of insulted jltstiee-in the name of the
insulted memory of the righteous dead, most
wickedly assailed by this verdict. There re-
mains but one tribunal this side Of the grave,
where Butler sleeps; that is the tribunal of
public opinion. There are some men seeking
public favor of the people in this region who
Lave made themselves very officious in this
business. They shall have the attention they
need. The whole case and the testimony will
be hid before the public, also the testimony ex-
Guided by the court
The court would admit no testimony about
the whipping in school; but it was indirectly
brought in by the defence, and cut figure in
the speeches. The prosecution was ready to
have annihilated all that could be said on that
point by overwhelming proof, but it was shut
out. The deceased was not to be assaulted
a pledge promptly given. but not redeemed.
The friends Of the deceased will see to it that
this subterfuge shall not avail the living, nor
injure the dead.
