MURDER TRIAL AT SrRINFIELD.-The trial
Of Charles e. Jones for the mgrder OF Isaac
Jackson, was begun before ~the Supreme
Court, at Springfield on Tuesday Judges
Metcalf, Dewey and Thomas on the Bench.
The killing is pretty clearly proved, and the
defence rests on insanity Several eminent
physicians are among the defendants witness
es. The Springfield Republican thinks Jones
is a very insane man. Sat one time he re
quosted that the case on trial might be drop
ped and his own taken up, and at another ac-
cused his own 'barristers Of ignorance and
said he should appeal 10 council of bishops.
Jones loves 10 be insane, and more than that,
he loves to show his insanity to other people,"
LATER. Springfield, Dec. 3.--The trial Of
Jones for the murder Of jackson, is progress
ing in this city. Testimony is being received
today 70 strengthen the belief of his insanity,
that his career from early childhood has been
one Of mystery, and that his movements and
language indicate an unsound mind, such as
characterize deranged person.

THE LEvIATHAN FAILURB.-Our readers
were probably surprised to see the announce
ment in our last foreign dispatches, that
another unsuccessful attempt has been made
to launch the Leviathan. 1t had been given
out that the next trial would take place on
the I'd inst. But the Times of the 18th of
November, stated, that the time fixed for the
launch would be kept profound secret from
the public. The following extract will be
read with interest:
"Any Of our readers who were present at
the first attempt on the second Of this month.
will see the imperative necessity for this Sc.
cIecy being observed. On that occasion, the
yard was thronged with visitors, who were
constantly getting into danger, and ALWAYS
getting into the way. 1t was then ascer
tanned, when too late, that, beyond doubt,
great error had been committed in admit
ting any person at all, while, in consequence
of the publicity which the event had obtained,
the river was SO thronged with steamers,
crowded down to the waters edge, and halt
ing right in the track which the vessel must
have taken had she slipped off the ways. that
it would have been nothing short of down.
right manslaughter to launch her under such
circumstances. To get rid of all these diff
culties, and most especially the last named,
1t has been decided, as we have said, to keen
the whole matter a secret in the strictest
sense OF the term. Let our readers there
fore, be on their guard, and turn deaf ear
to the announcements or rumors of the launch.
no matter from what quarter they may come.
All the preparations for making the next at
tempt are ready, and the matter now rests
with Mr. Brunei. Whenever he perceives that
the time and tide have come, the effort to
move the ship will be made at a single hours
notice. We may mention, however, that il
will not be long delayed, for it cannot be con-
cenled that the launching ways haze yielded,
and may yield still more, under the treinen-
dous weight which bears upon them, and
that every week she remains in her present
position, greatly increases the difficulty Of
moving hor at ALL" amor

The President and Senator Douglas
SILL Autageufstic

WAsHINeToN, Dec. 3.-Judge Douglas and
the President had today free and full inter-
change of opinion on the Kanzas question,
without, it is understood, being able to ar
rive at the same conclusion in regard to the
line of policy which justice and duty require
each to pursue. The interview, it is further
stated was courteous. and they parted, as
they met, friends. regretting that they could
not view the Lecompton movement in the
same light.
Senator Douglas, in conversation with his
friends, freely defines his position. He saws
he stands on the principle of the Kanzas- Ne
braska bill, which guarantees that each State
and Territory has the right to regulate their
domestic institutions to suit themselves, and
will follow that principle wherever its logical
consequences carry HIN, defending it against
all assaults, from whatever quarter they NAV
come, In its application to Kanzas, he in
slsts upon ignoring both the Lecompton and
Topeka movements, and securing to the peo-
pie the right to form constitution for them.
selves. He considers the Lecompton move
ment directly violatiye of the principles of the
hanzas bill and the Cincinnati platform, and
will probably, at an early period of the ses-
sion, introduce bill authorizing the people
OF Kanzas to call constitutional convention.

THE BOGUS CONSTITUTION OF KANzAs.-Not-
outstanding the assertions OF mendacous ad
ministration papers that the constitution of the
pro-slavery convention is 'uneSceptionable, and
and that the press Of the country has spoken Of
it in "terms of high eulogy," it has leaked out
that the constitution, as we expected, contains
many Objectionable features The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Journal Of Com
nserce Democratic organ, heretofore attached
to the administration, and firm in its support
says:
"But am inclined to believe that when the
constitution comes, it will come in a form that
will forbid any vote for it from the non .slavehold
ing States. No authenticated copy of the con-
stitution has been promulgated, nor even print
ed, so far as can learn. Forty three members of
the convention signed a sort OF carte blanche for
committee to fill up. 1t is known, however, that
several leading provisions of the instrument are
extremely Objectionable, and may cause its de.
feat. For instance, in the apportionment of the
senatorial districts, they give twice as many mem
bers TO johnson county as to Shawnee county,
which last year had twice the number of inhabi.

prominent fre-eater, Mr.. Boery of Mississippi,

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE AT BROOKLYN, N.
Y.-The New York Commercial of Wednesday
evening gives the following particulars of fugi-
tive slave case at Brooklyn
ION Saturday last, the steamship Florida ar
rived at New York from Savannah, with a negro
slave who had seereted himself on board and was
not discovered until after the steamer had sailed.
The slave was taken from the steamer and placed
in charge of two officers, who took him to the
grocery store Of fhomos McNulty at Red Hook
Point, where he was detained Tor safe keeping
until the steamer sailed and he could be sent
back TO Savannah.
These facts coming to the ears of Mr. Lewis
Tappan of New York, he communicated them 10
Mr.. Harris, the clerk of the City Court of Brook.
Ign, who Immediately sued out writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Culver, and last evening,
provided with posse Of officers, took the negro
from his place of concealmenS and detention, and
conveyed him to the Eastern district Civilians.
burg). McNulty was arrested on a charge of at
tempt to kidnap, and warrants were issued for
the arrest of the keepers.
The officers of the court have endeavored to
conceal the facts Of this case from the public
and nothing is known definitely as to the final
disposition of the case. Our reporter was in
formed that the writ was returnable before
Judge Culver this morning, but at IL IL o'clock
the Judge was not present, and there was no
probability of his being there today.
Our reporter has been informed on what he con-
siders good authority, that the negro was taken
80 the house of Judge Culver, in Williamsburg,
last evening, and that be was then set at liber-
ty, placed on the track Of the underground rail-
road, and sent off to Canada. The negro was
not in court, and from the silence of the clerk
when asked if the above was not the case, the
inference may be drawn that the negro is on his
way to Canada.
Mr. Tappan intends 10 prosecute the parties
concerned in this case for false imprisonment of
the negro and an attempt to kidnap."

A NEW ORDER IN ARCHITECTURE. The
Boston Courier says, that one of its exchanges
"contains an article advocating the adoption
Of strictly American order Of architecture.
In the yestibule Of the Supreme Court Room,
at Washington, is a number Of pillars which
form starting point for such an idea, They
represent maize stalks clustered in columns,
with the ripe ears bursting through the enfold-
ing leaves, for the appropriate capital. We
should IKE TO see America adopting dis.
tinctive order ofarchitecture. AS we feed the
world, the sculpturing Of Indian corn on our
columns would indulge us in quite little bIt
Of vanity, and keep foreigners from forgetting
what they owe u.s." The idea is an old one
and was frst designed by Thomas Jefferson,
and he had such a column made for his resi-
dence, Monticello, where it now stands.

DYING WoRDs OF GIN. WARREN.-At meet
ing Of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, in Boston, on Wednesday evening,
among other papers read was one from Gen. VIM.
H Sumner, Adjutant General of the State in
1925, when the corner stone Of the Bunker Hill
Moment was laid in presence of Gen. Lafayette.
Gen Sumner communicates some important in
formation in relation to the dying words of the
patriot Warren, as ne fell in the battle of Bunker
Hill. The doubt was raised some twenty years
ago, and was defended in the publications of that
day, whether the patriot uttered any words to his
men after he received his fatal wound. Gen.
Summers paper appears to settle the question be.
yond dispute. 1t embraces a letter from Amos
Foster of Tewksbury, who participated in the
fght who saw the blood streaming from War
ren's wound and who heard his dying exclama-
tion, 81 AM A DEAD MAN FIGHT ON, MY BRAVE
FELLOWS, FOR THE SALVATION OF YOUR couN-
TRY"
The following is an extract from Mr.. Fosters
letter, which is dated Tewksbury, Aug. s. 1928,
and addressed to Gen. Sumner:
"The day of the battle was near the redoubt
We did all we could, but were obliged to give up
