Two U s. JUDICIAL DIsTRIoTs IN Ono
The bill cresting new Judicial District in o.
hio, has passed, and is now the law. The
nomination Of the President for the places cre-
ated BY the bill, have been made. The line
dividing the State runs east and west, forming
a Northern and Southern District. The eoun-
ties Of Belmont, Guernsey, Muskingum, Lick
lug, Franklin, Madison. Chsmpai gn, Shelby,
and Mercer, together with all the counties
south Of them, compose the Southern District,
and all the counties north Of them compose the
Northern District. In the Southern district
the Courts are to be held at Cincinnati, and in
the Northern District at Cleveland. The pres
ent incnmoents hold their Offices. Judge Lea
witt goes to Cincinnati, and the present docket
Of the District Court goes with him. For the
Northern District Judge, Nv. Wilson, o.
Cleveland, has been appointed Mr.. Fitch, Of
Cleveland, as Marshal, and Mr.. Morton, Of To
edo, as District Attorney, retain their positions
in the Northern District. In the Southern
District, II. ], JeEe;t, of GAINESVILLE, has re
ceived the appointment for District Attorney
and II. H. Robinson, Of the Cincinnati Enquir
er, is the new Marshall, We have not heart
who is to be the new Clerk. Mr.. Wm. Miner
the Present Clerk will, it is supposed, go t
Cincinnati
The necessity for all this additional eIpens
in sustaining these new officers, may be ex
planned by the friends Of the scheme, but W
confess we cannot see that any real advantag
can arise from it, except to the favored feS
who receive the "loaves and fishes" Speak
ing Of the division Of State, and the removal {
the U. S. Circuit and District Courts from ca
lumbus, the o. S. Journal says:
| "The removal Of the Circuit and DistriC
! Courts from Columbus has been brought q
bout more by political considerations than b
she wants of the people. There has been n
difficulty in disposing of the business. Blu
Cleveland and Cincinnati lawyers did not lik
to come to the capital to litigate their cases
If they could so arrange matters as to have tn
U. S. Courts at home. Of course they woul
unite their forces and influence against th
centre Of the State. Besides, there were sev
; eral patriotic citizens who had not the least OF
lection to holding the several new Offices tn
, would be created by the division of the Sta
9 into districts. All these influences have pr
i vailed, and the work is DONE"

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

From private letter dated Patton, Cape Gi-
radeau county, Missouri, We are permitted to
make the following extract:
AN atrocious murder and house burning
took place on Wednesday night last within 8
miles of this place. A young man by the name
of Buckner, some time since married widow,
who had a daughter nearly grown. Not long
after they were married Buckner seduced the
young lady, OF, as some say, ravished her.
Since which time, Buckner, the old lady, and
the gill have been quarrelng and fighting
On Wednesday night last Buckner returned
home after an absence Of some two months,
when his wife caught him and held him. while
her daughter killed him with an axe! To hide
all traces of their work then set fire to the
house, consuming the body Of Buckner in the
flames. What led to discovery Of the murder
was, the circumstance Of Buckner being absent
so long, and some Of the neighboIs seeing hin
come home on Wednesday evening. They
saw no more Of him, so they went to raking
and searching among the Goals and ashes of The
burnt house and found some bones, which ex
cited fearful suspicious, An inquest was helC
on yesterday, and they were declared 10 be hu
man bones. All The parties oncerned have
been arrested except the young woman Mrs
BuckeV has made full confession - Mo
Republican.
