TERRIBLE MURDER IN CINClNNATL-A san
culinary murder Of a courtezan was commit
ted ut Cincinnati, by the son of we'll known
citizen. The deed has caused much public
excitement in that city, from the fact that
the three young men involved in it are sons
of wealthy and respectable parents. 1t ap
pears that about o'clock ia the evening of
Saturday, October 30th, three young men
Chas. Cook, of the firm Of Cook, Adams &
Co., proprietors of the planning mill, No. 362
West Fourth street; VIM. Setter, son Of Geo.
Setter, baker. No. I44 West Eighth street
and VIM. Swift son of Lot p. Swift, of the
firm of Pendleton, Swift IL Co., dry goods
dealers, No. % West Pearl street-visited a
house of ill.repute on Lodge street, between
Seventh and Gano, Ike t by one Mad. Caro-
line Davis. 1t is unnecessary here to relate
the whole of the incidents that took place,
but it may briefly be said that Setter had a
quarrel with a girl named Kate Beaureau,
and angrily threw her down on the floor and
kicked her. Cook then interfered and said
he could soon master her. He caught her
by the throat and choked her until she could
not breathe At this Setter and Swift got
alarmed and fled from the house. Mean
while, Kate having disengaged herself, stoop.
ed to the floor and got hold of an earthen-
ware spittoon, with which she struck at
Cook twice, but did not hit him fairly The
third blow sent the vessel violently upon his
head, shivering it to pieces. and cutting his
forehead. AS soon as this was DONE her as
sailant drew knife and stabbed her in the
left breast, the blade entering her heart. She
fell streaming with blood to the floor, while
he closed the blade of the weapon and re
turned it to the place whence he had taken
1t. She expired fifteen minutes afterwards
Cook and his two companions were arrested
and committed to the station house.

TRIUMPH OF DoUGLAs.-The st. Louis cor
respondent of the Bulletin, under date of
Nov. 4th, writes:
In Illinois, the canvass has been exciting,
and the contest close beyond any precedent
in the political history of the Sucker State.
1t is almost certain that the Douglas party
have returned members enough to the Legis
lature to secure the reelection of their leader
to the United States Senate | can see to-
night write this portion of my letter on
khe night Of the Sd ovember-from my
window the glare Of bonfres over-spreading
the knobs on the st. Clair county praires,
and can almost hear the shout of his exultant
friends as they dance around them.
The defeat of the Administration is truly
appalling. It's candidates have not received,
on an average, thirty votes to a county. Not
one thousand voters in all Illinois, outside of
those holding Federal appointments, cast
their ballots for the Buchanan candidates.
This election Of Douglas is one of deep i'm
port to the Democratic party. Douglas and
Anti tiLecomptoaism will heneefcrth eonsti-
tute the highest articles in the creed of De-
mooratic orthodoxy, and the President and
his immediate supporters will be read out of
the party The leading men of the Den O.
Gratis in the slave-holding States, some time
since, toresaw his election, and announced
thelr readiness to submit to the result. The
victory holds Douglas forth as the most pro-
minent aspirant for the next Presidency; and
SO ne will stand, perhaps, until overslaughed
oy the twothirds rule in the Charleston Con-
vention.
