"Well, old feller, says l, l got down and
went round to the back of the wagon, you
have had very good ride of it, haven't
yei
"Who are you," he cried, and he kind of
swore little, too, as he asked the ques-
ton.
-"I'm the man you tried to shoot, was my
reply.
"Where am /, let me out" he yelled
"Look here, we've come to safe stopping
place, and mind ye my revolver is ready for
you the moment you show yourself Now
lay quiet.
'By this time the two ostlers had come
up to see what was the matter, and l ex-
planned all to them.
"After this got one of them to run and
rout out the sheriff, and tell him what I
believed I'd got for him. The first streaks
of daylight were just coming up, and in
half an hour it ould be broad daylight =
In less than that time the sheriff came and
brought two men with him. told him
the whole affair in as few words as possible,
exhibited the handbills I had for him, and
then he made for the wagon. 1 told the
chap inside the least resistance and he'd be
dead man. Then l slipped the iron
wrench out, and as I let the door down
the fellow made spring, 1 caught him by
the ancle and brought him down on his face
and in moment more the officers had
him. 1t was now daylight, and the mo-
ment l saw the chap recognized him.
He was marched off to the lock up, and |
told the sheriff should remain in town all
day.
'After breakfast the sheriff came down
to the tavern and told me that had caught
the very bird, and that if l would remain
until next morning l would certainly have
the reward of two hundred dollars, which
had been offered.
"I found my goods all safe, paid the ex-
press agent for bringing them from India
napolis, and then went to work to stow
them away in my cart. The bullet holes
were found in the top of my cart Just as l
expected. They were in line about five
inches apart; and had been in the place
where l usually sit two of them would
two of them would have hit me about the
small of the back, and passed upwards, for
they were sent with heavy charge of pow
der, and his pistol was a heavy one.
"On the next morning the sheriff called
upon me, and paid me 5000 in gold, for he
had made himself sure that he'd got the
villain. l afterwards found letter in the
post office at Portsmouth, for me, from the
sheriff of Hancock county, and he informed
me that Dick Hardhead had been impris-
oned for life"
So ended the pedlers story. In the
morning l had the curiosity TO look at his
cart, and found the four bullet holes Just
as he had told us, though they were now
filled up with phial corks

Why did they accept a job, the workman
ship and material of which cost S5,375,4l
less than those contemplated by the con-
tract? Why did they accept a job, by rea-
son of which the State has been damaged
s43,735! To these questions it may be
answered, that they acted upon tie award
of Prince & Given. Prince was the referee
chosen by the State, and paid for his SER
vice by the State; yet for $500 Gill bought
him up.
By the affidavit of D. Ensey, one of the
contractors of the Dayton Asylum, it ap-
pears that Mr. Prince was an arbitrator in
the settlement for building that Institution,
for which he was paid SlO5 or 1925. In
answer to the question of the committee
"What further demands has Prince made
on you, and for what!" Mr. Ensey an
swers:
"He came here and wanted US to pay
him $500 more. He said Gill, the build
er of the Newburgh Asylum, had paid him
$500 for measuring, and we had better do
so refused. He then said be could, and
would stop the payment of the twenty-five
per cent. held back"
What say taxpayers to this Democratic

MisceNaDeops.
Fight in the Missouri LegisIa-
tuPe.

On Wednesday discussion somewhat
personal at its commencement, took place
in the Missouri Legislature between Messrs.
Darnes and Reid, on resolution as to the
practibility of slavery emancipation in Mis-
souri,. Itproceeded to blows, according TO
the st. Louis News::
Mr.. Darnes said he did not fear gun
powder and begged to inform the gentle
man that his room was No. II, Newman's
hotel.
Mr.. Reid-"If L am not mistaken, it may
be No. II little lower down the river"
Mr.. Darnes- Yours ought to be cell
Nor IL, Penitentiary, where you might
have been before you fought the battle of
Ossawatomie.
Mr.. Reid rose, and Mr.. Darnes facing the
Speaker continued his remarks.
Mr.. Darnes-"Y our powder has no ter
ror for me, l am contending now for prin-
ciple.
At this moment Reid had stepped to the
right hand side of Darnes. He laid his
left hand upon his shoulder, and drawing
off with the right, struck him heavy blow
on theright cheek, covering the cheek-bone
and knocking him down. Reid then re-
turned to his seat.
Mr. Darnes, having recovered somewhat
from the effects of the blow, said: ~ say,
sir, that no one but cowar,ily assassin
would step up behind gentleman's back
and strike him."
Mr.. Hill, of st. Louis-"I move that
this House do now adjourn till o'clock
Thursday" Motion lost.
Mr.. Darnes-"I say, sir, that have been
assaulted in this House; I say, sir, that an
assassin stepped up behind me when my
back was turned upon him and struck me
in the face-I pronounce him coward and
scoundrel." Mr.. Reid here stepped for
ward again, when Mr.. Darnes raised a tum-
bier with the evident intention of throwing
it at him.
Mr.. Reid then drew knife, when Mr..
Allen of Warren, and several other gentle
men, stepped in front of Mr.. Reid, and he
retired to his seat
Mr.. Darnes was also prevented from
throwing the glass by the gentlemen that
were around him. The latter gentleman
was then conducted from the room.

Kansas Items,

The Herald of Freedom, of the 31st of
January, gives an account of the liquor
'movement' in Lawrence. The women,
some months since, bought out the stock of
the dealers in "blue ruin" and got a pledge
from those dealers that they would sell no
more. The pledge was violated, and the
women with hatchets in hand let the liquor
into the cutters. This was efectual for
some months, but the war breaking out,
liquor shops came in vogue, and numbered
seven in Lawrence, On the oath ult., the
women went the grand rounds, visiting ev-
cry grocery. At the first they made a
general demolition of demJohns and bot
ties; at the second barrel of ale was un-
headed, whilst the owner f1ourished re-
volver, but as the women saw worse foe
in the liquor, they kept at work at the
latter and needed not the former. AT the
third place they were obliged to break
open the doors, and their booty was five
barrels and one keg of whisky, which was
wn5unged in short order. Thus they went
the rounds, and finally organized meeting
and appointed Vigilance Committee.
The Herald says
Our boarding houses are filed to over
flowing, and private families are opening
their doors to new corners, and yet the cry
is, "They come, they come"
Two large hotels are in the process of
construction, and will be hurried through
with all possible dispatch. These, howev
er, cannot accommodate the emigration
which will arrive among us in the spring.

CURIous.-The New York Times relates
the following rather singular circumstance
in relation to the murder of Dr. Burdell:
The bottom of the boots which the de-
ceased wore are covered with blood, show
ing in itself that he must have fought ter
riblv after he received some of his wounds.
By the side of the closet door which is
thickly splashed with blood, hangs polit-
ical chart, on which are printed the names
Of the candidates and the platforms of the
three great parties to the last Presidential
struggle. Curious enough, upon that sen
tence in the Republican platform which
reads: "Murders, robberies, and arsons have
been instigated and..encouraged, and the of
Tenders have been allowed to go unpunish-
ed" blood-spot has fallen on the word
murders" and another on the word "un-
punished" the sentence proeeeds-"and
that it is our fixed purpose to bring the
perpetrators of these atrocious, outrages,
md their accomplices, to sure and con-
dign punishment hearafter"- passage
is marked significantly, as by an index fin
ger, by long spirit of blood!

From the Ohio State Journal.
SADNESS.
By MISS ALICE DIXON.

Why, my heart, this cloud of sadness,
Why this darkening of my light,
Is not earth all JOY and gladness-
viii ye make the sunshine night
Happy forms are round me fitting,
80 Tones of love and mirfh are heard,
Yet I cannot, cannot join them,
Cannot utter one glad word.
Twilight shades are round me stealing,
Sadness will unbidden rise,
Half enshrouding, half revealing,
All the brightness of my skies.
Yet 1 love these hours of dreaming,
To my weary spirit given
Light, in one bright ray is beaming.
Sadness is allied to heaven.
And amidst the worlds broad battle,
In conflicting scenes Of life,
can wander on. unheeding,
All these scenes of outward strife;
For within my hearts own keeping,
Thoughts there be TO all unknown,
And 1 love them for their sadness,
Though they bring no joyous tone.
Hush, my soul, no more repining,
Let the sombre shade of thought
Do its mission of refining,
1t will be with blessings fraught.
Then I'll WOO thee, spirit sadness,
: Never bid thee more retire,
Holy feelings now thou bringest,
Draped in loveliest attire.

BRooK's REMoRsE.-The New York

BROOKS REMORSE.-1he New Ork
Timee says:
We have heard that in conversation
Col. Brooks more than once deplored his
conduct on that occasion as the blot and
misfortune of his life,-that he declared
his only purpose at the outset was to in
flict the disgrace of blow, and not severe
bodily injury,-that he was excited with
wine, of which he had been drinking freely,
and that the first blow reused all the de
mon within him, and left him no longer in
possession of his judgement or selfcontrol.
Whether this report be true or not, there
is nothing in it at all inconsistent with
probability, or with the character of Col
Brooks. On the contrary, it seems to me
much more likely to have been the fact,
than that he should have deliberately plan
ned the murder which he had just escaped
committing.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1857-02-19

STRIKING INcIDENT.-It is a striking in
cident in the case of Preston S. Brooks, that
he was attended by DR.. Boyle, the same
physician who, when Brooks was on trial
for the assault of Charles Sumner, swore
that the injury received by Mr.. Sumner
was very slight; and that on this occasion,
as we learn by dispatch to the Boston
Journal, he mistook the nature of the dis
ease, and says that if he lad known what
the disease was he could have saved him.
