From this careful collation. and CLASH.

From this careful collation. and classi.

to an inevitable " theory " of the crime.
We are to assume that Eckel was the
main actor in the tragedy. The plan
dated back from the time when Eck.l
was introduced into the honse early IN
the Fall. We are to believe that then
Mrs Cunningham, hopeless Of inducing
DR.. Burdell to marry her, and incensed
at lis charges of dishonesty and theft,
conceived the idea of a 6ctieious mar.
rage and subsequent murder. The mar.
rage rite constituting Act I Of the trag.
edy, was effected on the 28th of Octo-
Der, when, leaving the house with Dr..
Burdell. Mrs. G. and her daughter part.

joined by Eckel disguised, either at Mrs
Soilenbaug's or elsewhere, and hat Il Q
three went together to the clergyman.
We are to believe Miss Augusta Gun
ningham a party to thus much of the
crime. If we are convinced of d false
marriage, we must likewise be convinced
that the death of DR.. Burdell was de.
signed to follow, and that that event is
but the complement of the fraud. The
intention of DR.. Burdell to lease his
house on Saturday to Mrs. Sailsbur y
may have precipitated the execution of
the plot on Friday. The intimacy of
Mrs. Cunningham with Eckel is sufi-
! GENTLY established and also that she
was alone with him several times on the
fatal day.
We are to assume, then, that all was
arranged hat Mrs. c., tc.attest her
innocence, was to have both her daugh.

coUKT or CommoN PLEAS.

The business of the present term has
been more than was anticipated. The
Court will probably adjourn on Friday
evening. There was a larger amount of
criminal business, though all of the
smaller grade of offences, than it had
been supposed would be brought for
ward. Mr.. KINNEY, the new Prosecu-
ting attorney, appears to have been ve-
~ successful in protecting the interests
of the State, and in meeting the expec-
tations of his friends.
Among the civil cases disposed of at
this term, which attracted considerable
interest, was an action of SANDER, brought
by Isaac Mason against Westley Cha
ney. Damages claimed, $4,000. YER
dict, $50.

the following gentlemen, or others equal
ly entitled to the confidence of the coun-
try, will compose the Cabinet Of Mr..
BUCHANAN
William Allen, Secretary of State.

John B. Floyd, Secretary of War.

We don't believe any one, except Old
Buck himself, and those who are to
form his household, have any positive
knowledge on the subject. It is our
opinion that the old gentleman has been
so prudent as to withhold the informa-
ton sven from his wife.

SCEFRAGE-ARE THE PEG
PIE READY Fob THE QUESTION

The Ashland Times of Thursday last
contains an extraordinary editorial upon
this great question: question which
we regard as Of more immediate and
practical importance to the interests OF
the white laboring men of Ohio, than
any which has aver been presented to
them. That we may not do the editor
injustice or be accused of misstating his
position, We reproduce his own Ian
guage:
Our neighbor says that in extern
ding to the free negroes the elective
franchise, and thereby making a State
acknowledgment of their humanity, the
white man is degraded. Let us see if
this is SO? Supposing our good neigh

covered with rags, and whose intellect
is almost wasted with debauchery, who,

hood left, yet who has remained sober
long enough to allow remorse to take
hold on him and drive him all forlorn,
up to the house of prayer, would our
~neighbor start back with appraised hands
and astonished visage, and cry out for
the sexton TO lead that man hence ?
No, nor would he feel himself degraded
by walking up to the ballot box and
depositing " a good Democratic vote" in
company with such a man nay more,
were our neighbor a candidate he would
not hesitate to solicit such a mans IA
|eE nor would ha- consider himself de-.
graded thereby. Well, then let US in.

men, possessing the right of suffrage,
than there are negroes in the State. But,

be made, for very many negroes possess
good educations and being natives Of
America are well posted in regard tc
our institutions and could cast more in
telligent votes than white men of tn,
description we have cited. Surely, tn,
color of the voter makes no diferenc,
with our neighbor-that would be non
sensical.
"But while we'are showing that i

expected ayowals like this. It clearl
