u A rich scene occurred last Thursday
night at meeting of the Common Council
In Covington, KY, the dromatis psrsone be-
ing his honor the Mayor, Mr.. Patton and SIR.
Foley. Mr.. Patton feeling aggrieved at
some rsmarks made by Mr.. Foley, struck
that gentleman in the face. The parties then
grapplcd, ovsrturning the Reporters table,
and breaking pitcher and tumbler. In the
meantime, the Mayor pitched into another
honorable councillor, and grapplod HIM by
the hair, while the arms of both were held
by their friends. The greatest confusion pre-
vailed, and cries of"Let them fight it out'
were heard in different parts Of the room.
On the following morning the parties were
"hauled up" before . Squire, and fined two
dollars and half each.

u A fashionsbly dressed young man,
named Achey, was arrested in Cincinnati,
the other day, for stealing shawl. A YER
dant Kentuckian, who was in his company
1t tho time, was arrested also. The latter
who had nothing to do with the theft-on
being released stated to the court that en- the
previous day, while trying to light cigar at
the stove in his boarding house, Achey, who
was standing near, lighted match and
handed it to him. This act Of poh,enoss led
to an acquaintance between the parties and
in the afternoon they started out to see the
city. During the walk, Achey suggested
that - they were strangers, they might bold
ly call at . house of ll-fame. The Ken
suckisa consented, and Achey conducted him
to house in Lodge street; but they had
been there but short time before the police
entered and took then both into custody
Achey was sentenced to the chain-gang fol
one month, and the Kentuckian wen. hi,
way wiser man.

The FASHIONS OF the RAINBow, have
published card in the st. Louis papers IN
which they sxpress the deepest gratitude TO
the officers Of tho Sovereign and Minpehahs
who took them on board without change, and
freely opened their wardrobes and distributed
among the sufferers everything they could
spare, and ministersd to their comfort in
every way in their power. They further
say, "that while thus feebly expressing our
gratitude towards the gentlemen named, We
must not forget how much we owe to some
Of tho passenger Of the Minnehaha, especial
ly Gen. T. Eernoy, Of Laconia, Ark; Gen.
Lee, Of Virginia; and Mr.. L. Z. Arnold, Of
Warren county, Ky. The self-sscrifcing
kindness and princely liberality Of these gen.
tlemen, can never be erased faom the memo
riea Of those sufferers who were fortunate
enough to meet them on the Minnehsha.
Their hearts and purses were upon to US; and
"a We approached Laconia, they requested
the captain to land, in order that We might
be supplied with such things a. could not -
procured on board. Here they took rs to q
clothing store, telling us to take whatever
we needed; and wher We were all provided
with sufficient ct their expense, Gen. Fsrno,
rendered his purse, to be distributed amongs
US according to the necessities Of the coca
sion.
After landing at Laconia, the steamboat J
E. Woodruff passed near enough for Mr.. L
r. Arnold to sec that two Of the Rainbow
passengers were on board, and supposini
that they also must be in need of some as
sistance, he threw Thorn forty dollars in gold
Such conduct needs no written comment

~ A dreadful tragedy occurred on Long
Island, N. Y, last Saturday morning. A
man, named Waters, murdered his wife and
son-in-law, attempted the life Of his dsugh-
ter, and finished BY hanging himself.
The night previous to the tragedy Mr. OAR
ling, neighbor Of Waters, dreamed that he
heard Mrs. Sturtevant, the daughter Of Wat
ers, screaming very loud that her father was
killing the whole family. He swoks much
alarmed, and while telling it, his little daugh-
ter raised herself mp in bed and exclaimed,
Father, what man is this, standing herer'
The father dreamed OF the murder, and hi,
child thought she had seen the murderer
standing 1t her bedside. Coming events
seem to have cast their shadow before them.

TIE CnADDock MuRDKn.-An intense cx-

TIE CRAppocK MURDER.-An intense ex-
element was caused lsst week in Louisville
and jefferson county, by the disclosures of
q prisoner in tho Jail in that city, named
Miller, duplicating eight or ten wealthy
and respectable citizens Of jefferson county,
in the murder Of man named Craddock,
who was found dead near his dwelling in
August, 1856. Craddock was owner Of
valuable farm few miles from Louisville,
and possessed good deal of other property.
He was, however, man of bad reputation,
and was suspected and charged with all
sorts OF crimes. He was believed to be gull
ty of stealing; Of circulating counterfeit
money, and holding association with reg
ular band Of horse thieves, The frequency
with which horses, COWS, and other property
were traced to his premises, but never found
in his immediate possession, left no room
for doubt of his guilt, and 30 incensed his
neighbors that . meeting was called, the
result OF which was . series Of resolutions
denouncing Craddock and his supposed con
fedsrstes residing in the county, and . re-
quest that he and they leave the county
within six months from the date of that
meeting. The meeting was held on the 25th
of February, and on the night of the a5th Of
August following. Cgaddock's death was
composed in . lane-way upon his own
premises. The source Of his death had been
mystery ever since, even up to this time,
without duplicating any one till the revela
tons Of one John Miller, which charge that
several OF Craddock's neighbors, and others
from other counties, were concerned in the
assassination. Miller admits his participa-
ton in the horrible crime, and proceeds to
detail the circumstances with great minute
ness. The community were appalled, upon
hearing Of the mangled remains of Grad
dock, but pot more astonished than upon
hearing that his death should be charged to
his neighbors and other respectable men Of
position and fortune.
The prosecuting attorney issued process
against the gentlemen accused, and they
have voluntarily como into Louisville and
given themselves up to the officers, and ash
for speedy investigation Of the charges
against them. The examination will be
held on to morrow. Miller, the accuser is a
man, We are informed, Of most infamous
character, and his testimony 10 worthy OF
but little credit. Unless there DO strong cor
roborating circumstances, it will have but
little weight against the prisoners.

THE KANSAS CONSTITUTE ON.

We are glad to see that the leading
Democratic papers in this State condemn
the schedule Of the Kansas Constitution.
The State Sentinel, that gives the cue, at
least, to the Bright section Of the party,
speaking Of the act Of the Convention
refusing to submit the whole Constitu-
ton to a popular vote, says, 1.-THE tone Of
the Richmond Enquirer, the Richmond
Examiner, the Louisville Democrat and
other prominent Democratic journals in
the South, is guarantee that the Ma
tional conservative Democrats of the
South will unite with the Democracy Of
the North in demanding that the Kansas
act shall be faithfully carried out.
This guarantee was given to the coun-
try and to the people Of that Territory
by the resolves of the Cincinnati Conven
ton; by the Democratic speakers and
press throughout the Presidential can.
vass; by the inaugural of President b.
cHANAN, and by the declarations Of Gov.
WALKER. With nothing short Of this
will the great body Of the people be sat
isfed, and good faith demands that these
pledges shall be fulfilled"
We hope these papers will have the
Inanliness to adhere to their honest con.
victions, even if the Presidents Message
should endorse the Objectionable sched-
ule. The letter of Gov. WISE, in which he
disapproyes Of the action Of the Conven.
ton, and condemns it as anti-Democrat-
ic, indicates the course Of the Virginia
Democracy; and The sentiments Of the
Louisville Democrat evince the feelings
of the party in Kentucky. In other
slave Safes it will be condemned; and
unless Mr. BUCHANAN be misled by some
strange infatuation, or struck with ju.
!dicial blindness, he will not throw him
self into the arms of the Disunionists
and wreck his administration by 50 gross
