dancing was part resulted in his cold blooded
murder. 1t is not the simple act of dancing that
| speak against, but its legitimate tendency as
you suggest, causing young people TO become
profgate and worse than useless members of so
ciety. l think you must have been driven to
desperation, when you selected the 31st chapter
OF Jeremiah to prove scripture dancing merely
for amusement pleasure. | think you could
not have read anything thin the 4th and
18th verses, and these very slightly. For if you
had read the whole chapter carefully you would
have that the Prophet was speaking of the
coming of Christ, the restoration of Israel and
their rejoicing in view of that great event
Now, friend, show me the same cause and mo-
tves for dancing and perhaps | may dance with
you. But | think that it would require the use
of adjectives than you or | have time to
use, TO prove that the 3ist chapter of Jeremiah,
or any other chapter in the Bible, either proves OF
encourages dancing, merely for our own amuse-
ment, or that it is either mentally or physically
useful. Yours, trEiy, BJ

The Acauittal of Ward.


The most intense excitement prevails through
out Kentucky in consequence of the acquittal OF
Matthew F. Ward who murdered Professor But
ler school teacher in Louisville, in cowardly
and brutal manner. The case had been removed
to Marshall County. where 1t appears, a jury was
found who were governed in their decision more
by the length of the prisoner purse than by the
testimony before the court. The jury appears 10
have been selected for the purpose of aequitting
the guilty wretch-nearly all OF them themselves
guilty of crimes for which they should long since
have suffered. Their verdict has saved his neck
from the halter. yet the verdict of public opinion
has doomed him to become an outcast upon the
earth He has been compelled to leave Louis
vile, and even the boats upon which he had taken
passage have been refused the privilege of landing
at most OF the towns on the river
The Louisville Courier speaking of the acquit-
tai says
On arrival of the Elizabethtown stage in this
city, between 5 and O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
and the proclamation of this verdict, the most In
tense excitement was produced. NO man who had
read the testimony cotttd have anticipated such a
verdct--manv disbelieved the statement at first,
and refused 10 give credence to it until they had
met with some one who present when IL was
rendered
Such is the verdict however; and now let
every man in Kentucky who would not rather
lose his lie than bear about with him the instru-
ments of blood, arm himself 10 the teeth. Again
it has been decided in this State, after deliberate
trial, conducted with all the usual forms of law.
that killing man engaged in the peaceful pur-
suit of profession, is not murder! Again it has
been decided in this State, by Jury regularly
empa lnelled and solennly sworn, that taking the
lie of man of peace, who has sought no quar-
rel, who has been guilty of no offence, who has
never been known to lift his hand against his
fellow man in anger, is not even man slaughter
Again it has been decided in this State that vir.
tue has no protection in its usefuness-,hat in
the law of the land there is no shield for humble
worth
But Kentucky writes her reputation in blood
and no fail TO read the characters LIE,
MS be quiet, however the forms of law some
thing, even when the spirit OF justice has departed
The Louisville Democrat publishes the follow
ing:
We have been denounced for the mildest notice
heretofore We are told to wait for the regular
course of Justice. Well, we have had the regular
justce-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 vengeance, bot justice justice
IS outraged; enc OF purest and noblest and
most useful citizens has been slaughtered in our
midst Law and order says he killed in self
defence! Was ever such judicial lie uttered be-

The RurYiDg Ground.

We wish once more TO call the attention of our
citizens to the subject of improving the Burying
Ground. All who have visited that Enclosure of
improvement. 1t is now very good time for
cutting out the bushes, and we hope it MAJ be
improved. If left until another year, the expense
of clearing If off will be nearly double what it
will cost al this time We took stroll about
the buryrg ground few days since and found
to need filling; and in some we discovered
that newly made graves had been badly rooted
over by hogs, that are permitted to find their way
into the inclosure. This is certainly wrong
The fence should be made secure against hogs
and all other animals proper respect for the
dead, az well as for the feelings of the living we
are satisfied will prompt our citizens to contribute
for the purpose of paying for the necessl Try inn
proyements to that spot held sacred by so many
as the last resting place of near and dear friends
1t Is only necessary for some one to take the
lead, and secure subscriptions for the purpose,
and we feel sure that sufficient amount can be
raised in a short time TO accomplish the object
II is true saying that what is every ones bust
ness is seldom done at all, and in order to get the
tions at the Tribune Office fo- the purpose of i'm
proving the burying ground in such way as
may be deerned necessary, and that whatever
amount may be contributed, be placed in the
hands of the Trustees of the village, to be ex-
pended by them in proper manner, for the ac-
comnlishment of the object

The Night Session of Thursday and Friday.
Correspondence of the ~ Y Tribune.

L L
Saturday Morning, Nav 49,
The telegraph will tell you of the row in the
House, but you can have no idea of the scene as it
occurred. Douglas was in the House directing
his followers, and with the exception of few hours,
was there all the time during the STR ggle. They
charge him with counseling revolution and VIC
ence in order to accomplish his purpose. 1t is
charged that he attempted to tamper with TIC,
Speaker, and to get him to override the rules
but the Speaker repealed his suggestions. Then It
is charged that he tried to get up plan for over
ruling the Speakers decisions which plan failed /!
1t is further charged that the Nebraska men have
avowed their purpose in due time, ito take the
rules into their own hands, and take the response
bity and pass the bill any how"
There is no doubt that Edmundson was put for
ward to begin a fight, and that Douglas was cog
infant of it. He, Edmundson, had in the course of
the evening tried TO get up a quarrel with Went
worth of Illinois, and with Sage of New York
Campbell OF Ohio was making some remarks in
reply to Stephens Edmundson, armed TO the teeth
and under the influence OF liquor, up and de-
manded what right he had to declare his course of
acton-that if he, Campbell wanted to make any
further opposition to the bill, he was the man who
would meet him personally. Campbell ind grant
ly repealed his interference, when Ednundson be-
gan TO unbuton his vest, for the purpose it is sup
posed of getting out his bowie KNIFE when Camp
BELL who was unarmed threw his arms behind
| hIm,and detied him to lay his finger upon him
At this Juncture an immense crowd had rushed TO
the scene, and several persons had got between the
two, and Immediately the Sergeanta at Arms rush
ed up with his mace. Had Edmundson laid the
weight OF a feather upon Campbell the result would
have been deplorable. general fight would
have ensued and Heaven knows with what results
cool determination than Mr.. Campbell did on the
occasion.

speak 10 me; | am gentleman, and you are a
tradesman." gentleman said the learned Judge
rs term which does not apply to any station
The man OF rank who deports himself with dig
nifty and candor, and the tradesman who dischar.
ges the duties of life with honor and integrity are
alike entitled to it; nay, the humblest artizan
who fulhils the obligations cast upon him, with
virtue and with honor, is more entitled to the name
of gentleman than the man who could indulge in
offensive and ribald remarks, however high his
station"

a War for Cuba.

The moment the Nebraska lniquity is consu
mated, if ii should be co1sumated the Admins
tration viii seek to distract public attention from
that abhorred deed by getting up a row with Spain
Whether this will be pushed TO the point of actual
War is not yet certain but the President and his
advisors hope and expect it will. They have re-
solved to impose the feeble and decripit Spanish
Government conditions which cannot be accepted
without disgrace, and insist every iota of them
to the last Should Spain refuse them, War is to
be made, and Cuba seized if possible-and the
projectors entertain no doubt of our ability to
overrun and subJugate that island in six weeks
from the decaration-at all events, before any re-
enforcement from Spain can reach it, This
achievement, by adding about a fifth to the slave
holding territory and population of the Union,
is expected to unite the South under the flag of
Pierce & Co, and drown the Nebraska excitement
at the North in the cry of sour Country, right or
wrong? Hurrah for Cuba and manifest destiny e
Such,we are well assured,is the programme agreed
on at the White House; and ii is an even chance
that we be at war with Spain on the first of

Cleanliness VS.. Disease.

Cleanliness is great preventive to disease
Now is the time when every thing of an unheal-
thy nature should be removed from the streets,
lanes. and yards connected with dwellings and
ouhouses. Cellars should be made perfectly clean
and we'll ventilated. Nothing of an unclean nature
should be suffered remain where its offensive eff
fuvia affect the health OF our citizens. If 4
proper attention is paid to this matter by families
and the corporation officers, much sickness may
be avoided, and perhaps many lives saved. Some
of citizens express fears of another visit from
that dread destroyer. Cholera during the approa-
ching warm weather. Let a proper attention be
paid to cleanliness and regularity in habits and d.
ct, and there is danger. Notc is the time TO
apply preventives, one dollars worth of which will
90 farther than twenty dollars in paying doctors
bills. Try it.
The NEBRAsKA BILL is creating great excite
ment at Washington at the present time The
friends of slavery extension appear determined to
force it through the House, regardless of the
wishes of the people, and from present appear
ances, we should not be at all surprised to hear
of their success, 1t is considered an Administra-
ton measure, and many who are honestly opposed
to II, fear TO vote against it because their party
leaders favor It's passage. Every Northern man,
whether Wing Democrat, who votes for the
abomination, should receive mark more promi-
nent than that of Cain of old, whereby he may
be known of all men enemy to freedom.
