stand the merits of the case, but hoped that law

LAWRENCE, K. T., April "a, 1856.
10 the Editor Of the Missouri Democrat:

unteer few lines that will be of public inter-
est Jones, the Sheriff of Douglas county, was
shot last night about ten O'Clock, and it is ex-
pected that his wound will prove fatal. The
attending circumstances were these:
. On Saturday and Sunday last, he made two
unsuccessful attempts to arrest s. N. Wood and
others, tor some offences for which he has held
warrants for several months, and never sought
to enforce. Our people were unwilling to rec.
ognise him or his authority. He had small
posse with him, from Lecompton, each time,
but ne took away none of our men under such
circumstances. He seemed greatly exaspera-
ted, and swore he would have them at any cost
Of life or money.
He made Lecompton his headquarters, where
shannon, Oliver, Whitfield, Stringfellow, and
others, were in council, directing all his move.
ments, and intending to get up some foray lust
on the verge of the examination by the Wash
ington Committee, to prejudice them against
buc oquatttrS OI Inc lcfrltOrV.
Shannon sent to Leavenworth for troops to
assist Jones in making his arrests, and about
tour o clock In the afternoon, yesterday he rode
INTO town at the head of ten or twelve dragons,
fully armed. Wood, and those whom he came
more particularly to arrest, were not in town, and
were advised to leave, to prevent and avoid diff
hculty at that time. But they soon found twelve
others, whom they arrested, and marched
through the streets, under guard of limited
States dragons, like culprits.
: Many of our people were very indignant at
this; still, they were all arrested and taken to
the room prepared for them, without the least
resistance; and even one United States officer.
with such instructions as they have, could have
accomplished the same, for we will never resist
the authority and arms of the United States.
AS night came ON, however, l feared there
would be further disturbance; still, we expected
nothing more serious than abusing Jones. or
something of the kind.
But, unfortunately for us, some desperate,
whose impulses were beyond control shot Jones
as he was sitting in tent occupied by the dra-
goons; but no trace can be found, or any evi-
dence, to fix the guilt upon any particular per-
son. Our citizens all deprecate the act yery
much, and will use every means to bring the
assassin to justice. The Lieutenant in COM
mand has sent to Leavenworth for larger
force, but we apprehend no further demonstra
, ton.
Jones is alive this morning, but is considered
very dangerously wounded. The ball entered
between the shoulder. blades, near his neck, and
probably injured the spine. 1t is hoped the
public will withhold judgment until further in
designations are made public. RANDOLPH.

named n. Baylies, stopped at the Massasoit
House, in that city, last Thursday evening,
while on his way home from New York. He

early on the following Monday morning, no.

first sweet sleep since his illness, sought for
herself little repose, awaking few hours
later to find that her husband had just ex-
PRED. The corpse, accompanied by the be-
reaved widow and the attending physician,
DR.. Lambert Of Springfield, was conveyed to
Boston, Monday morning.

EXAMINATION OF THE STATE NORMAL
SoHoo1 AT FRAMINeHAM.-The examination
Of this school took place on Monday and
Tuesday of this week. The classes were ex-
amined in the various branches pursued in
their course and in the theory and practice of
teaching. Model exercises in teaching were
also given by several of the pupils.
The exercises of the graduating class, four
teen in number, took place on the forenoon of
Tuesday, and were highly creditAble. An
able report was read by the Principal, giving
history of the term, and detailing the cir
cumstances under which he recently took
charge of the institution. An original poem
was read by Miss Anna c. Bracket of Somer-
vile, and a. yaledictory address BY Miss Sarah
Wilson, Of Marlboro. Several appropriate
hymns, written for the occasion by members
Of the senior class, were sung by the pupils.
Addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Pierce,
former Principal of the school, by A. P.
Stone, Principal of the Milbury High School,
Rev. Messrs. Robbins of birmingham and
Northup of Saxonville, and Rev. Mr.. Pope,
Agent for the Board of Education.
The School is under the charge Of George
n. BIgelow, Esq, Principal, and three female
assistants, and is evidently well managed and
doing good work in training teachers for our
public schools.

nomination will be discussed and acted upon
IN open session. for if the country is to be

He riol-ated the Sabbath.-BostoD Post.
We should like is inquire which is the
greatest violation Of the Sabbath, for poor
negro to indulge himself of Sunday with
little harmlesslamusemen with his fiddle, or
quent custom in New Orleans, to regale them
selves with bull and eock-fghts, theatrical
exhibitions, or other tragical performances
The fault, we presume, was not in the fiddle,
but in the color of the mans skin.

Mr.. Edtor-Those who may attend to the
Sunday would probably like to know accurately,
what was the statement to which exceptlo1fis taA
ken. 1t was as follows:
81 hold that every ruffian who enters that ter
ritory to murder the defenders of freedom, and
propagate slavery by blood and butchery, forfeits
his claim to life by the act ; before the invisible
tribunal of Justice he is already condemned =
and he who, in defence of life and liberty, shall
find it necessary to blow bullet through his
brain, will be but causing the will of God to be
done on earth.'.
Any one to whom the statement was offensive
might, with all propriety, subject it to censure.
But unless one will take the ground Of non-re.
sistance, how is it possible to say less?
Respectfully yours.

DooToRs DIsAGREE.-A hearing before
the Committee OH Banks and Banking, last
week, wiz h regard to the expedieIcy of sup
pressing the issue and circulation of bank
bills below the denomination of five dollars,
Mr.. Haven, the President of the Merchants
Bank, Of Boston, strongly advocated, the
measure as correct in principle, and therefore
to be adopted, even should it diminish the
profits of the banks. He believed however.
it would be convenient to the banks, without
diminishing their profits, and at the same time
greatly benefit the community that it would
strengthen the currency by increasing the
quantity of specie in the Commonwealth, in
I the possession of the people and of the banks,
and thereby tend to diminish the frequency
and the severity of the money pressures, Of
which the trading community now so bitterly
complain. MI. Thomas, the President of the
Webster Bank, now one of many applicants
to the Legislature, for an increase of>capital,
did not agree with Mr.. Haven. He stated
that in his judgment it would be injurious To
the community and greatly diminish the prof
its Of the banks; and that il would be more
advantageous TO suppress the issue of notes of
the denomination of five, ten, or twenty dol
lars, and issue the smaller notes in place of
them. Boston AtiaS.

REPUBLICAN VIoToRY IN GEN. CAss's
HeME.--A special despatch to the New York
Tribune, dated Detroit, Feb. 9th, states that
o. NJ. Hyde, Republican, has been elected
Mayor of that city by about two hundred ma
ioyity over A. w. Basil, the Administration
candidate. Mr.. Basil was in Congress in
1850, and voted for the Fugitive Slave Law.
The Slavery issue was therefore fairly pre-
sented during the canvass.
