A Us&fuL INsTIrurloN.--They are about es-
tablishng for the benefit of the State Of New
York, nm Asylum for lnebriates, and voluntary
subscriptions are being made in the principal
towns toward this most benevolent object
The Legislature, we believe, voted $4,000 Tor
such an institution on the condition that like
amount be made by private subscriptions. The
condition will certainly be met, as $4,000 OF
the $50, 000 have already been secured, and the
amour; is steadily filling up. We can conceive
of no charity at this time TO be so urgently
needed as asylums for drunkards, where they
may, as in other cases of insanity, be protected
against themselves, their cases properly treated
and tho poor, distressing victims Of the bowl be
restored to society, and usefulness in due course
of time. BY the help of such an institution
many otherwise excellent members of society
wRo are diseased in this way, and are rapid,
descepding 10 the drunkards grave, to the des
titu,ion aud disgrace of their families, woult
undoubtedly be made whole in reputation ant
health.

cX Yesterday couple Of Irishmen and
their ladies, had been to the funeral of one OF
their coun,rymen, being disposed to be a little
jovia after the services at the grave we're end
ed, determined TO try the speed of their respec
tive horses. One OF them, who had the best
turn out in the way of horse and buggy and
found that he was coming out behind, attempt
ed to distance his opponent by making short
cut across the corner of the Public Square, and
in doing so capsized. The horse, not liking the
looks of Pats bruised face or the torn and
soiied dress of his lady, left them both in the
street and made the best time he could down
Fourth street. until he came to the residence Of
Col. Warren, when the top and body OF the bug
Ky came on, which was broken in pieces, be-
came detached from the running part. The
horse continued down Fourth to Jefferson
street, when he was joined by a horse with
cart altached--hoth kept on down the street
until they came to train of cars standing
across the street and there stopped. The horse
was not injured but the buggy is a complete
wreck. ..-. .ss

A number of dispositions were received this
morning of rebutting character mainly, sub
stantiating the testimony of Elliott previously
given to the effect that no excess was commit
ted BY the Marshafs posse. There were some
affdavits stating that their impression was that
the first attempt at firing came from the Sherifs
party.
Attorney General Walcott, in behalf of the
State and the Sheriff of Clark county, asked for
an adjournment to take rebutting dispositions.
Objected to. " 10
A compromise was then agreed to, to the eff
feet that on future day such testimony may be
introduced.
Senator Push then commenced argument in
behalf OF the Marshal and others.

noon and was followed by Mr. Mason for the de.

! journed over in day or two, and no decision be
