A case was decided on Wednesday last by the
Court of Appeals at Frankfort, Ky, which set
ties the question Us To when nun who is attack
ed in the State of Kentucky is justiiabe in Kill
ling his assuilant, The from Grayson
Circuit. in which Meredith had been convicted Of
mansaughter for the killing of one ireland who
attacked him, and the lower court charged the jury
"lf Ireland assaulted the defendant and he had
reasonable grounds to believe he was in danger
Of sustaining great bodily harm, or the loss Of
life from sucl assaut.and ifnessary to protect his
life or person from great bodily harm. he might
kill Ireland, if he had no safe means Of escaping
Blu, if the defendant could hare safely retrtdted
from the danger, and by that means bave saved
his life and person, he is not exeu,ube for the
killing of Ireland"
The higher court however decided that this
charge was wrong That the jury had nothing
TO do with the question, whether the defendant
could have safely retreated," that being ques-
ton to be settled by the Judgment of the delen
dant himself ain the exercise OF this judg
ment he must act nationally. Whether actual
necessity 10 kill existed OF not, question

in good faith, and had reasonable grounds TO be

| When we declared, IA short time since, that
! Kansas would be Free State. our opinion wa
! founded not only on the suspicious movements o.
| Mr. Robert J. Walker. aud the evident tendency
| of events in the Territory. but in n great meas
| ure upon the conviction that the continued nsoen
dancy of the Democratic party depended upon IT.
In law the indRotment 10 n man to commit an
offence is alwny. taken into the account IN de.
terrnnng his guilt-and the rule will hold equal.
~ good in politics. II is not TO lie presumed
tina, Robert J. Walker. Judge Douglas, and others
do not know that the admission of Kansas as
Slave State would inevitably break down. and ut
terly destroy the Democratic party OF the North.
They feel it sen-ibly enough. Their polit
cal existence depends upon the issue. Here then
is sutficent induoemsnt for them to contrive the
expulsion of slavery from Kansas-an induce
ment which affords satisfactory clue to the
late conduct of Governor Walker in the Terrific
ry.
On this point, the Richmond Wing holds the
following emphatic language
We have never had n doubt ourselves that the in
ttigues of Walker to make Kansas free State have
the full assent anl appreciation OF the leading Demo-
cratic politicians all over the country, North aud
South East and West These professional sharpers
aud hucksters perceive plainly enough that the as
cendancy ofthc Democratic parly-nay its very ex-
isteuce--dcpends upon the single circumstance oil
Kan ms being admitted into the Union asa free state
With that end accomplished, Douglass and Cas-, aud
then Northern associates who voted for the Kansas
bin would have smooth sailing for the future, md
would obrnin decided advantage over the Black Re
publican party. They would point to 'JTee hdnsds'
the special result of their abors ms the iulhllmcut
of their predictions, and as the contamination OF the
cherished hopes of the nahoHai Democracy. In II
word they will be able To put thu Black Republicans
ut bay aud sion their hue and cry about slavery be-
ing forced into Kansas by the enactment of the Kan
sas Nebraska bill And thus the Northern Democra-
cy, ii il heped, will recover their lost ground, and
succeed in gaining complete triumph over the Black
Rcuuhlicans-nthougntb the one Is nearly MS hostile to
slavery the other, and both equally opposed to the
extension of slavery into the Territories.
From these circumstances and considerations, we
argue that the leading Democratic politicians OIL both
sections of the Union heartily in favor of Kansas
being made free state and they are in concert TO
effect that object. Hence, the appointment of Wal
ker Goyernorof Kansas and his present course in
that Territory.

at the present time among the fashionable ladies'
of Paris, notwithstanding the use of pant ruins

joke which an English Indy devised to torment
the printed beauties, is thus made note Of
in Paris letter to the New Orleans Picayune:
"They tell very good joke here of an elderly
English woman who hhd trained little Havana
dog TO lick the face of the persons who kissed it.
They say that whenever she meets with lady
under false cnlrrs, She makes her puppy i,mp
on the lady's lap; the lady caresses the dear lit
tie creature. without snSpecting that it Is per
6ious little scoundrel, which unpaints her cheek
with its false but vigorous licking. No: long
ago this English woman was at n brilliant party
in the fnubourg Saint IIonore, she singled out
among all the guests an Italian lady of noble
BIRTH Who is extremely addicted to paint, at the
conventional signal, Bib jumped into the Ital
ians lap and began to play it, tongue with great
energy one side Of the Florenines cheek WAS
like peach smothered in cream, the complexion
of sweet sixteen; the other side was shriveed,
wrinklcd and yellow. 1t required all the French
desteriy If ,mother'ng laughter to suppress the
peal- of merrimeut, which this sight excited TO
explosions md the malice at the English woman
was delighted by the laughing eyes of the whole
room. But that night Bib taken sick with
n violent guStfitis and two dnys afterwards it
growled it's last bow in the arms of its
weeping and desoute mistress, who told every
body that il was the paint of the Italian which
killed this angelic pug. and she spread, this re

chance of its getting into the court house in the

that the English woman Is now busy training Il
