MURDER IN New Madrid CoUNTY.-A
handbill describing the murder Of R. G. Wat
son, of New Madrid county, by two men named
Phillips, and their nephew, one DR.. Ross, has
been received by the police ofthis city. Wat
son was one of the most prominent citizens of
that countyi and worth nearly 100000; and
his murderers. also, were men of more than
ordinary standing and property. The crime is
supposed to have originated in a suit III the
County Court relating to the running of road
through Watson's lands. The friends ofthe
deceased have offered reward of So, COO for
the apprehension of his murderers.
S. Louis Repub.
Judge Watson, the murdered man, was far
advanced in life, and the circumstances of hia
murder, we learn, were of the most atrocious
character. He was the father of Mr.. L. L.
Watson, of Vincennes, who is well known to
our citizens. 1t is supposed the murderers
came up the river, as they have friends iii the
vicinity of Louisville. Our officers should be
on the watch.

most corrupt means, to prevent fair trial OF
the law. They have not only openly encour-
aged violations of the law, but they have most
grossly misrepresented the features of the law,
and made the most infamous appeals to the
lowest passions of the lowest classes. They
have labored increasingly to bring that law
into public odium, which but for their assis-
lance never would have become law. They
have even made it test question of Democracy,
and called upon the faithful as they would be
considered faithful, to oppose this law. They
have at last effected their object. The law
may now be regarded as dead.
If it had any bad influences, this law has
overcome them by thousand good influences.
1t has almost depopulated our Jails and Poor
Houses. 1t has restored thousands from shame
and degradation. 1t has brought peace and
plenty into many a household where before
violence and starvation reveled in misery. And
yet the law may have had its faults. Legis
lation could have remedied these. AS tits, we
are without any law on the subject.
The people may see by what the Old Line
party have done, that to their hands cannot
be entrusted the making of a new Prohibitory
Law, although some of the leaders of the party
pretend that they desire Prohibitory Law
They have shown the corruption which is
within them, and they will yet feel the anger
of an outraged people.

The IMPORTANCE OF THE SPEAKER-Our
readers may not generally be aware ofthe Pc
culiar important attached to the Office of Spea-
ker of the House of Representative. No BILL ex-
cept by unanimous consent, can be acted upon
in that body, unless it is reported by one of the
committees. These committees are all ap-
pointed by the Speaker Should the Anti
American party secure the Speakership to one
&fits members, the committees would be so
formea that no bill for promotion ofthe princi-
Piles ofthe American party, OF to carry out
American doctrines would ever be allowed to
be considered in the House. Every attempt
to investigate and expose the hideous corrup-
ton of the present imtecils administration,
would be smothered in the committees rooms
and thus the miserably irresponsible seventy
four would succeed in sitting every effort of
the Americans in Congress Co carry out the
wishes ofthe mass of the American people and
to correct the abuses of the Administration.

WATER woHKs

Il appears TO be the general 5binIoii ol
tho citizens Of Lancaster, that the plan for
establishing Water Works in this city has
hzzled out. This being an error, | will
briefly state facts. which. if found correct;
should guide public opinion.
The City Council IS in possession Of an
efficient Engineers plan and estimate Of
the cost Of the Works, but was unable to
ascertain amicably The terms upon which
the requisite Water-rights might be set
llod with the owners of those Mills and
Millseats, who will claim damages. The
Council left this business therefore in the
hands of come Of our ablest Attorneys, and
by them it is informed, that an act of Le-
gislatilre, intended to facilitate cities in es-
Iablishing Water Works, will require some
amendment before it will suit the case OF
this city. The act gives cities the right to
condemn laHa for the use OF Water Works,
but the city wants TO take from Mr.. Gle
sy aid others both water and land
Thus the proceedings are stopped--stop
ped before Stumbling block--and this re
moved, the city Council will take the pro-
per steps Tor condcmning certain tracts .
land and water privileges, will next be pre-
pared TO lay before the public an estimat,
OF the. whole cost Of the Works, and tn
lyuice Of the people alone win then decid

Tho work can mostlikely be done cheap
er in 1857 or 1858 than if done in i85l
