THE PACIFIC HOTEL CASE IN ST. Louisville st.
Louis Republican Of the 9TH inst. says
The investigation into the charges Of murder and
arson preferred by Capt. j. e. D. Couzins against
Charles l.. Taylor, otherwise known as Sanders, has
brought out no satisfactory explanation of the late
catastrophe at the Pacific Hotel. great number of
witnesses have been examined, but far from throw
ing the light this awful affair that was looked for
we doubt whether the community are not more puz-
zled than at first in regard to it.
The arrest Of Taylor or Sanders as be is converti-
bly, called on the horrible suspicion that he had first
murdered man in his and then fired the build
ing to avoid the discovery of his gnt, was sufficient
to arouse the public to very high pitch of excite
ment, and a matter of course there were many ex-
aggerated reports as to the proof which could be
elected against him. In the trial of this case there
was one very essential point-hrst in importance-to
be proved, namely: that a man had been murdered.
The Coroners jury had already given as their verdict
that the person supposed to be Ephram Doane,
had come to his death by the fire, and to convict
Taylor it necessary to establish not only that
the verdict of the jury of inquest rendered in
advance OF full knowledge Of the facts, but that
instead of being burned to DEATH the deceased was
killed by the accused Blood was found upon Doanes
body on bis clothes and on the spot where he lay.
Experience teaches that the application of fire has
had the effect to coagulate the blood Coroner Ken
nedy testes that he has thirty or forty burnt
bodies but detected blood upon any except in
this instance and he cites this the observation of
several physicians with whom he has consulted The
doctors who called to examine Doanes body re-
fused to decide upon the manner in which he met his
DEATH and this alone is sufficient to produce Taylors
discharge in court OF law. 1t is held that the de-
ceased may have been killed by falling timbers, and
the circumstance of his having been found more COW
cred with rubbish than any of the other four bodies
on the piece of floor where he was, is adduced in
support of this hypothesis Thus the primary aliega-
tion in every murder trial is here placed by the rea
sonable doubt " in favor of the defendant in this
prosecution On the other hand appears rather sin
guar that fire hot enough to burn down the ceiling
of room, should not be sufficient to rouse sleeping
man from his bed

CAPlroLrAN CORRESPONDENCE.
BATON RouaE. March 5. ]

BATON RouGE, March s, 1855
Eds. Crescent My notice of the proceedings of
the two Houses Of the General Assembly to-day, will
require but little Of your space nasmuch as but little
was done.
In the Senate bill from the House, 10 relation to
prescriptions of certain actions against the City of
New Orleans was passed. So. also, was a bill from
the House, appropriatng $4,000 out of the Swamp
Land Fund, and an unexpended balance heretofore
appropriated for improvements on the Atehatalaya
and Red rivers, in the Third District.
bill giving to the parishes Of Sabine, Claiborne,
Bienvle and VIM the swamp lands in those parishes
for leveeng and draining purposes was takenup and
discussed at some length, when the special order for
| the day was announced.
This special order was the bill to fix the salary Of
the Register and to regulate the fees Of that Office
Col SHINES who introduced the BILL had moved GER
tain amendments changing its character very mate
rally. These amendments provide that the Register
shall have an annual salary Of $1,000, and fee OF
81 for entering forty acres Of land 81 80 for eighty
acres 81 for one hundred and sixty So for three
hundred and twenty and "a for six hundred and
forty and that the State Treasurer as Receiver of
the Land Office, shall have the same salary and fees
as the Register.
Efforts made, without success, by Mr.. Tucker,
to ameRd Col. SHINES amendments so as to give to
the Register and the Treasurer for bis entire official
services, each an annual larry of S. 900, with the
additional sum of $4,000 for clerks hire Mr.. Laid
law also, made an Intellectual motion to graduate the
scale Of the Receivers fees some 25 per cent below
that allowed by Col. Simmes' amendment.
The voting these several propositions showed
clearly the purpose of the Senate to pass the bill
with Col SHINES amendments Incorporated with il.
final vote was only prevented by the common ruse
(and discredtable because common) of forcing an
executive session, which any one member may do.
In the Of the discussions that grew incident
ally out of the various propositions referred to- it be-
came quite obvious that there was contest between
the respective friends Of the Register and Treasurer
which was participated in, however, by those who
were conscientiously acting for the public interests
thus making it, in fact, sort Of triangular fight.
II may be incidentally remarked that the Register
the Land Office has been and is most resoute
tire-eating Southern rights man. while the State
Treasurer is at this time an especial avorte with the
Old Line Union Democracy, now in the ascendancy
at the capital.
The House of Representatives was occupied the
whole day in the consideration of the General Appro
priation bill on its second reading They passed upon
most of the items embraced in it. Its consideration
will be resumed tomorrow. No other subject will be
allowed seriously to interfere with it until it is finally
disposed of in that body. H.
