A sinrnlar Case.

The Miller Case at Vincennes has assumed
rather a singular position. 1t will be remem-
bered that man named Miller killed an Irish
man at the polls the last election in Vincennes.
He was held to bail first at $1,000 then ar
raigned again on a second phase of the charge,
and was held to bail in the sum of $1,000
The Circuit Court has just been sitting at
Vincennes. The Grand Jury had Miller's
case before it ana failed to find an indictment
against him! He was thus, if we understand
the matter, released, at least for the time be-
ing, from any charge, or from hisobligations to
appear before the court to answer any charge.
One member of the Grand Jury, who was
yesterday in this city, signeda statement which
was read before Court last Friday, in which he
gave in direct violation Of his oath Of secrecy,
the full details ofall the transactions evidence,
&C.. before the Grand Jury in this case, and
stated that seven or eight of the Grand Jury
were for indicting Miller for murder, and the
balance for manslaughter Not agreeing, he
was not indicted at all! We understand this
Juryman will be arrested for perjury, and that
o new Grand Jury will be summoned. Such
are the facts of this very singular case, as rea-
ted to us yesterday by gentleman just from
Vincennes.

Mr. Fillmore Abroad.

A letter from Rome, under date of the Oath
Of JAM says:
The Hon. Willard Fillmore left here to-day
for Naples, after having been for nearly four
weeks the pride of every American in Rome,
and the cause Of unfeigned admiration on the
part of every European with whom he came in
contact. Such specimen of American repub-
licanisrn does more honor to our institutions
than all the diplomatic agents we have. lately
had to represent official opinions abroad. am
a Democrat, and no partisan of Mr. Fillmore
particular views Of politics; but know there
is not man in the land whose elevation to the
highest office in the gift of the American peo-
pie would go further to re-establish peace and
good will towards the United States, and at
the same time insure the respect we have a
right to claim from every civilized country,
than his, and know, even as Democrat,
worse calamities that might befall the United
States than his election to the Presidency.
Mr. Fillmore has, during his short stay in
Europe, visited England, Ireland, and Scotland
he has seen all the German States, includ-
ing Prussia and Austria. He has made a pro-
longed stay in France and Italy, and is about
to visit Egypt and the Holy Land, Turkey,
and, in all probability, the seat of war. He
will return to the United States in the month
of June, richly stored with historical and sta
tstical information, and as good judge of
European governments, their errors and their
crimes, as any person in the land; while at the
same time he viii be better able to Judge of
the present condition of Europe and the world
than most men not having enjoyed the same
advantages Having been removed from the
busy scenes of political strife and faction at
home, he will return in better temper and
with cooler judgment than most of the leading
candidates, whose principal stock in trade con-
s:sts in efficient partisanship and services rem
dered to mere factions

The Committee Report, &c.

Things political were moderately quiet yes
terday That Committee reported yesterday
morning through the Gavitt organ, in favor Of
Seymour. Some of Walkers friends think
that in making up this Committee, the Sheriff
should have selected only citizens of Evans
ville-but we don't presume that makes much
difference as the votes would have been the
game. The organ thinks Walker has 'compro-
missed his Democracy OF course Gauit has
not done so by his late acts! Many leading
Democrats who will support Walker, very cor
rectly think that the compromising of Democ-
racy belongs to some others more forcibly than
to Walker-and that there is no compromise
of Democracy in refusing to be governed by the
decision of packed Committee. However,
this agreeable little quarrel is all among the
Harmonious Democracy" 1t would be a
blessed thing for the city if the two factions
played the Kilkenny cat game, and utterly
devoured each other. They are mad enough
at each other to do it, and we hope they will
go to work.

Lon. Jour.
The above would answer admirably as a
text for long discourse. to the good people OF
Evansville. But we have preached so much
on the subject ola boatyard, ways, &c, that
it is probably unnecessary to discourse on the
above. But here is thorough going Evans
vile packet, sent way up to Madison for re-
pairs. Paducah below, and New Albany, Madi-
son and Cincinnati above are provided for
building and repairing boats. We venture to
say that more Of the prosperity of Paducah and
Madison depends upon her boatyards, than
upon all other things combined. And yet, sit
uated at central point on the river, and near
" two hundred miles from any boatyard, and
with unsurpassed advantages for building
steamboats,, all efforts to establish ship-yard
here have been unavailing. There is no use
arguing this subject longer. If a few Of our
leading citizens would take it in hand, and act
with some of the energy they have exhibited
on former occasions when little public spirit
was demanded, we could very soon have a
ship-yard here. If writing in favor Of the en-
terprise, and the public presentation of facts
and figures, would avail anything, we should
very willingly continue articles relative to
ship-yard at Evansville. But that is not what
is wanted just at this time. That part of the
work if not we'll done, has been at least zeal
ously done. Action of the proper kind will
carry the enterprise through. A ship-yard
we must have, and the sooner the better.

Shocking Murder.

Capt. H. E. Stevenson, first Clerk of the
steamer Ohio Belle, was killed by man named
Joseph Jones, about IL O'Clock yesterday, on
board the boat, between Smithland, KY, and
Cairo Ill. The circumstances as related to US
by witness, were as follows: Jones came on
board at Smithland, in a state Of partial intoxi-
cation, and shortly afterwards, went into the
barber shop and got shaved. He thentendered
the barber a $50 bill in payment. The latter
not having the change, applied to the clerk,
who pronounced the bill counterfeit 1t was
returned to Jones, who then presented a SO
bill, which the clerk also pronounced counter
felt. At this the former became perfectly out
rageous, and raised such disturbance in the
cabin that the clerk attempted to put him out,
whereupon the latter drew a revolver and Shot
him through the body. He lived only about
fifteen minutes after receiving the shot A
great excitement was aroused on board and
much difficulty was experienced in preventing
the passengers from executing the murderer
on the spot. When the boat reached Cairo
The citizens there also attempted to take him
ashore and lynch him, but were prevented
When our informant left the boat, he was tied
to one of the stancheons, and the passengers
were canyassing the propriety of hanging him
without further ceremony. We have not
learned the result ofthe matter. Capt Steven
