HORRIBLE MURDER.-A most horrible murder was
committed near Princess Ann, Md, on Wednesday
last. The Snow Hill Shield says
A negro man, who has been sometimes attempting
to pass himself as partially deraDged, met on the
road after light a white woman whom he attacked,
cut open her bowels, srewed them by the roadside,
and otherwise horribly mutilated the body. He
also cut OIL the right hand at the wrist, which
not be found. The demon arrested, confessed
the deed, and gave as a reason for the act that
could get the right hand Of a female corpse and
wear il about his person, he would at all times be
able to overcome his enemies. He 10 represented
as IA desperate, dangerous negro, aud has for a
long time escaped just punishment for his yillainies
by feigning insanity.

LEGISLATURE.

Our readers will recOlect that soon after the late
Presidential election we published a statement of
the legislative districts, showing that Buchanan
had obtained msjorities in thirteen Of the Senator
ial districts and thirtynne of the representative
DISTRICTS majority of in the Senate and three
in the House. Upon this basis, we gain follows
SENATE GANs-Msnees, of Robertson, probably;
and Walker, of Shelby, certain
HOUsE.-ThOmpsOn, of Maury, Williamson, and
Lewis; Dunlap, and King, of Shelby; Maris, of
Fayette.
Loss None.
There have been changes in Haywood, Hardin,
DeKalb, Macon, Upton, Hamilton, and Marion, but
we counted those counties against us in esti-
mate. We make clean gain of seven so far on
basis which gave us four majority joint ballot.
We think the Legislature safe in both branches.
P. S.-Since writing the foregoing, we have re-
ceived despatch announcing the loss of our mem
Der in MeMinn and the ioatef in Hamilton, Bledsoe
and Rhea. The Senator in the Hamilton district,
(Burch,) is also said to be in doubt. We carry
Monroe. This, if Burch is defeated, reduces our
net gain te four.

DR.. Uhl, her medical adviser and consulted him on
her expected accOuchment. In course of converse
tion the Doctors suspicious were aroused, and he
consulted District Attorney Hall, but declined to
make an affidavit, urging professional motives Of
delicacy. Mr.. Hall pointed out the law in the Re-
vised Statutes, declaring Mrs. Cunningham's con-
templated act to be felony The Doctor finally agreed
TO submit to DistIict-Attorney Halls advice, and
m sasurs were Immediately taken to frustrate the
medtated fraud

about to become mother, and wishing to dispose of
her child, that Mrs. Cunningham liked the plan and
became impatient to have it carried out child

g CONSPIRACY" AGAINST THE ADMINISTRA-
TION.

The apoogists of Walker, whose reckless zeal for
their client overleaped all bounds of moderation,
and takes heed of the ordinary restraints of rea
son and common sense, affect TO have discovered a
terrible conspiracy against the Administration, Turk
ing behind the plausible pretext ofoppositiOn TO the
policy of the Governor of Kansas. The reasonable
plot they say, was concOeted long before Walkers
appointment, and the conspirators were only await
ing suitable opportunity TO apply the match TO the
collection of combustibles. We have already taken
occasion mildly to rebuke the authors of these pre-
posterous charges against the State Rights Democ-
.acy of the South, aud warned the Incorporate
cham pious of Governor Walker against the disaster
Gus consequences which are likely TO result from
their deliberate persistence in such auimadversion.
This charge OF a conspiracy against the Admistra-
ton is SO utterly destitute of all semblance of prob
ability, that to treat it seriously would be au act of
downright qualification. Its a5surdity is too pal
pable to require exposure. The idea of the very
men, who in the late Presidential canvass were
the most ardent and unabatng in their exertiOns to
secure Mr. Buchanans election being implicated,
almost before he has taken his seat in the Executive
chair, in a conspiracy against his Administration
must strike the dUllest comprehension ridiculous
in the extreme. Yet this accusation is yehemently
urged by the aOplOgsts Of Walker, the ruling mo-
tive Of those who have condemned his in Kan
sas and insisted upon his removal. Unable to an
swer the objections of the Southern Democracy by
the impartial examination of the facts of the case
they seek to diminish the force Of their allegations
by imputiDg to them the most incredible motives
As We were among the first to condemn, in the most
emphatic terms, the treachery of Gov. Walker it is
perhaps expected that we should betrsy some re-
sentiment at these sweeping charges.-But We are
far from being sensitive in regard to such loose i'm
putations, and certainly shall not dignity them
with serious refutatoa until they are directed
against with more distinctness of reference.
Moreover we extremely unwilling TO believe
that the Administration is disposed to acquiesce
in the proprety of the pursued by its self APP
pointed guardians and protectors, and to approve
their denunciations Ofthe States Rights Democracy
1t is idle for Walkers apologiss to affect to treat
this grave controversy with indifference, or to at
tempt to produce the impression that the dssatis-
faction at his conduct is limited to q handful of
g Southern Extremists Every intelligent man
knows that the dissatisfaction is almost universal
and cannot spring from any faneied grievance or
imaginary pretext. Such general and spontaneous
Outbursts of indignation from outraged people,
cannot be mistaken for the Incorporate ebullitons
offanaticsm disgracefu split of factious dscon-
Lent-RchmORd South.
