Dfficial Report OF judge Tnney's Deeis-
ion In fhe bred scott Case.,-No sottcn-
The N. Y. Tribune Of Wednesday, says
the official reports Of the Dred Scott case
and tho opinions Of tho Judges as furnished
by the Judges themselves, have beer re-
coived, and that, 30 far from the objection
able passage being stoned down" they are
all retained and considerable addition
made Of the same sort. The Tribune says:
ave have yet had time to examine only
tho opinion Of the Shareholders us given by
by Chief Justice Tancy. So far from soft
enine away any Of che moro Objectionable
passages contained in the abstract of that
opinion heretofore published, the present re-
port repeats those passages word for word,
or nearly so, while it adds good deal more
in tho same strain. Such a dense igno-
rance or such wilful Misrepresentation
such combination Of them both, as we are
rather inclined TO think is the fact--as the
historical part of this opinion exhibits, it
would be impossible TO parralle--at least,
not since the time that Scroggs sat upon the
Bench. The Chief Justice in his old ago
though il can't be old age that is the only
cause, since the four other shareholders went
with him-seems to have totally forgotten
the functions of Judge, and to have re-
lapsed into the character, of an eager, art
ful, sophistical, jesuitical, lying advocate
for the suppression of the truth is lying to
all intents and purposes. Had it come in
the shape of an argument from the counsel
of some slave-catcher or negro-trader with
to.r.I1., LII q &. e. e,ob
it is, might be entitled to the credit, at least,
of ingenuity. Considered as a judicial
opinion emanating from a Court, the Judges
of which might be expected to preserve a
certain show at least of selfrespect in spite
of their prejudices, and the danger in which
they undoubtedly stand-a thing which
ought to be duly taken into account--of be-
ing lynchod at home should they presume
10 run counter to slayeholding sentiment ;
considering in this point of view, TO every
person who remembers the reputation which
the Supreme Court of the United States
once had, this opinion must be as mortify-
ing as it is derogatery TO the character and
position Of those from whom it comes
But it seems that the Supreme Court of the
United States is to form no exception to the
inevitable destiny of everything human
England boasts her Coke, her Hale, her
Holt, her Mansfield, we our Jay, our Mar
shall and our Story. But as Brampton
was found in England to be made a Chief
Justice Of, when ship-money and other
usurpations were to be sustained, so we too
have Chief Justice Taney, followed and
sustained just as Brampton was, against the
protest of the only two men on the bench
by majority whose names, like those OF
their ship-money brethren, may be saved
from notoriety by the personal insignifcance
Of the owners, but whose decision will, like
that, enjoy wide and lasting historical in
fanny"

Melancholy Affair.

Our community was startled Yesterday
afternoon by the announcement that Ex-
Governor Bebb, now a resident of Seward,
in this county, but formerly of Ohio, of
which State he was Governor, had been
molested by mob of men, and had fired
on and shot two of them killing one. The
particulars rs near as we have been able to
gather them up to the time of going to
press are as follows:
Itappears that for some time past, good
deal of coldness, and in many instances actu-
al bad feeling had been been growing up
among some of the Governors neighbors,a as
against himself and family, springing it is
said, moro or less out of jealousy of his pc
cuniary circumstances, and belief that he
was somewhat aristocratic in his tastes and
associations.
The return of his son with his wife, on
Thusday night, from the East whittier he
had been to get married, was fixed upon by
the rowdy portion Of the young mon of the
neighborhood as a proper occasion to mani
fest their ill-feolings. They accordingly
prepared themselves with cow-bells guns,
tin pans, and other articles ordinarially used
on such occasions, and repaired to the resi-
dcnce OF the Governor at late hour in the
night, and commenced all manner of noises,
clamors and outcrics, assailing the house
with stones, and firing towards it with their
guns.
After enduring this assault for some time
in silence, Gov. Bebb made his appearance
at the front of his house, and demonstrated
with the mob, requesting them to desst.-
This was received with hootings and howl
ings and an increase of clamor. After a
little time he again came forward and re-
marked that patience had ceased to be q
virtue, and that if they did not dcsist and
leave the premises, he would be compelled
to use violence. This threat only seemed
to exasperate the assailants, who replied
that they had como there to fight, and were
only waiting for him to commence, or words
to such import.
He then went into the house and brought
out double barrelled shot gum firing one
barrel at the feet of the ringleaders Of the
mob, which shot took effect upon one of the
party cripplipg him in tho leg. At this
some of them dispersed, while the Others
rallied and made rush upon the Governor
who raised his gun and discharged the other
barrel at the foremost man, and hitting him
in the head and killing him instantly,
