This neighborhood was the scene Of a
most shocking tragedy last Sunday night
some notice Of which appeared In the
last Maysvillo Eagle. Tho circumstan-
ces have awakened an immense excite
ment throughout the adjacent counties.
Tho person killed lived about six miles
from this village, and though we'll TO do
In the world was not Of very good repute.
His namo was James Taber, and he was
murdered by his own slave. in his own
house. while lying In front Of the FIRE on
the floor asleep. Tho negro was convic-
tod Of the act to-day, under his own con-
fession. and Is to be hung on the l4th
prox. He 10 not at all insensible of his
crime, and seems 10 have been terribly
wrought upon by his late master. and de-
clares that no does not regret tbs deed
that no was frightfully ill-treated person.
ally, and was time and again ordered by
Tabcr from the honsc, for the sole pur-
pose Of compelling his wife TO submit "a
his (Taber's) brutal and depravod lustsI
and to this latter cause may DO traced the
awful tragedy which follows.
After he consumated Il, both himself
and his wife fed from tho house and Sc,
crcted themselves near by in a thicket.-
In the morning they were pursued by the
neighbors, and tho woman, In paroxysm
Of fear, when she saw they were likely
TO be found, rushed TO small stream nj
hand and drowned herself In water not Il
exceed three feet deep, before she could
DO overtakon. The man. however, WA
captured, and at once admitted, and Who'll
y oxculpated his wrotohed wife from
any share Of the deed, or any knowledge
Of u until the moment the axe claye the
head Of his master In twain. Such q
chapter rs this does not need any com
ment. II Is easy enough to conceive how
these poor wretehes must have boen excl,
ted by the outrageous treatment they re,
colved from their guilty master. but Will,
the laws Of the State inflict almost sum
mary punishment upon them they take nc
cognizance Of the offences against them
and their opprcssors so of scot free. Il
II cause OF wonder that such scenes 81
this are so frequent In Slave States p
Rather Is II not to be wondered that the,
arc not every day occurrences 2
While this tragedy was being enactet
In tho country. another scene was iranspl
ring In tho Court House In town. A
young man was being tried for numbering
his ncighbor, having first struck him with
bludgcon aud then stabbed him TO thu
heart, killing bin dead. oil In broad day
light. and In tho presence Of half dozor
witnesses. All this was proved clearl,
and beyond any sort Of dispute-the frs
word, tho blow, the stab, and tho death
And yet this man was declared innocent
