BLOODY WoRK.-An affair of very
tragic character occurred among the
slaves on the plantation of Colonel b
p. Walker, in Appomattox county,
Virginia, during his absence. The
Lynchburg Virginian says
4" As it was reported to US, slave
from a ncighboring plantation desired
to marry one of Colonel Walkers me-
gro girls, but could not procure
the consent of her father. At the time
mentioned he sought out the girl, at
tackled her with a knife and slew her.
Other slaves interposed, he attacked
thom also, and inflicted serious, if not
fatal wounds, on two of them. Finally
he turned his knife upon himself and
took his own life. We have heard no
further particulars"

INTERESTING DECIsIoN.-We think
we are serving the public in calling
attention to a decision of the Court Of
Common Pleas, in Baltimore, October
1854. The case was one of more than
usual importance, especially to all who
use platform scales, as the decision Of
the Court established the fact, that in
all matters of dispute, as to weight,
the scales manufactured by Messrs.
f. & 7. Fairbanks Il Co., of st. Johns,
bury, Vermont, are the standard.
The suit arose from q discrepancy
of weight between one of Fairbanks
scales in use by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, and one Of
another manufacturer.
The case occupied the Court for two
days. Judge Marshall, in delivering
his decision, stated as the result Of the
evidence, that the accuracy of Fair
banks scales was established beyond
all uestion,-Penn$ylcanian.

Auditor of State.
w. III.

The Democrat has not been very forward
in proposing candidates for the coming Con
vention, on the 9th of January next. The
Democracy of Elkhart county will not, We
believe, trouble that body with candidates OF
their own 1t is little they have asked Ton
heretofore, and little, comparatively, they
have got
They very properly desire, however, that
the ticket nominated by that Convention
shall be good and strong one, and 70.
such ticket, it is not promising too much,
when we pledge Old Elkhart for the largest
of her ancient Democratic majorities.
1t is not our purpose to canvass the merits
of the several candidates for the various Off
ces named. But we cannot refrain from nOti-
cling the announcement in our columns of the
Hon. A. p. Richardson, rs the coming man"
for Auditor of State.
We know him well, and without disparag-
ing the claims of others, unhesitatingly say
of him, as Democrat, he never faltered in
his faith or duty-never pandered to any
isms, or sought to propitiate it for the sake
of expedency or temporary advantage. On
all questions, at all times, he has been out
spoken, spurning concession, and demanding
the full recognition of the right, and ready to
fight on until that right was obtained 10y n
complete victory.
Such men will be marked as sterlng.-
They can be trusted in office or out of it; and
above all, we can lean upon them in times of
political Ievulsions, when weak, worthless,
and dishonest men give way. As political
writer, he has few equals in the State. His
industry and acknowledged talents qualities
him for any Office to which he may aspire.
Onr voice is for him, and such we hope, and
believe, will be the voice of the 9Th January

Corn elius O,Brien. Esq.

We notice the name of this gentleman an
nounced in the democratic papers as candi-
date for the office of Secretary of State. We
are not aware how the impression has been
created abroad that his friends would present
his name to the approaching Convention in
connection with that Office, nor do we know
that Mr. OBrien desires to be n candidate for
that or any other Office before the State Con-
vention, but are led to believe that he does
not desire to be the nominee for Secretery of
State. We have heard his name frequently
mentioned in connection with the State Aud
itorship and without being advised of his
wishes, we incline to the belief that the de-
mocracy of this part of the State will pre-
sent his name before the Convention for that
nomination.
Mar. OBrien possesses large body of ar
dent personal friends, and the confidence not
only of his party, but of the public in general
as man of unquestioned integrity, and pos
sessed of high order of administrative tai
cnts. The nomination CT Mr.. 0Brien for
Auditor of State, considering his eminent
qualifications for such position, would, judy
ing from the opinions that we have heard
expressed, meet with very general, and with

We learn from the Madison Banner that
our esteemed fellow townsman, j. J. Bing-
ham, Esq, is spoken of as a candidate for
nomination at the Democratic State Conven-
ton for Auditor of State. 1t had not, to our
knowledge, leaked out. here before; but now
that it has been suggested to us, what say our
fellow democrats of Tippecanoe county to
presenting the name of j. j. Bingham to the
State Convention, and urging his nomination
for Auditor of State? He would be strong
candidate, is every way qualified, and would
do credit to the county of his residence and
to the State, if elected to the post named
Will our brethren of the democratic press of
the State pass the word around that j. J..
Bingham, of Tippecanoe county, is our can
didate for Auditor? We doubt if he'desires
the position; but that makes no difference
lie is democrat, and will sacrifice his per-
sonal inciinations, if need be, for the good of
his party.-Lafayette american.

We are very sorry to see several of onr re-
publican exchanges. among which the Evans
vile Journal is one, INDUCING in sneers and
low filings with respect to Lieut.. Gov. Will
lard's recent pledge to his party that, ifthey
should nominate him for Governor, he would
refrain from the use of Intoxicating drinks
during the canvass and during his official
term, if elected. Whether Mr. Willard was
actuated by laudable motives in making this
pledge or not, is no concern of ours or OF
anybody else. Sufficient is it for us to know,
and it seems to us that it ought to be sufli-
cient for Others, that the gentleman is en-
deavoring with all the force OF his will to dc
right, and therefore he should, on the part oi
the press, be strengthened with words of the
kindest encouragement, and not laughed at
