tiansburg Herald, Of Saturday, says:
Tho negro man John. belonging to ]. Miller.
ESQ.,. who was charged with the murder Of An
derson. belonging to j. Grayson, Esq, had his
trial this week. The trial lasted three days. A
great deal of evidence was introduced, from which
we gather that the quarrel originated in jealousy
in regard to Johns wife. The negroes were to-
gcther on the night of the murder. going as was
said to meeting. when the alteration took which
resulted in the death Of Anderson.
There was some disposition on the part Of the
witnesses to smother up the transaction, and to
make it favorable to the accused possible
The Court after mature elaboration sentenced
him to transportation, although majority of the
Court. four to one understand, were for the ex-
treme penalty of the law.

SrRArSING AT GNATs AND SWALLOWING
CAMELs.- During the present session the Con-
gress of the United States has been appointing
committee after committee to investigate GER
tain alleged frauds, corruptious, and official
populations Of all sorts. All these matters were
to be probed to the bottom. The probing is
now all over, and in what has IL resulted!
They have made an example Of some subordi-
nate who has stolen few hundreds, while the
great scamps VII, steal by tens Of thousands
have been sheltered from exposure and even
apologized for. Congress allows q fellow like
Matteson to take his seat among honorable men,
even after all the proofs OF his lobby operations
last winter, and revenges itself upon some poor
devil who, humbly initiating his supcriors.
takes few hundreds Making great fuss
about him shields the great rascals in hgh
Offices, and they are able to carry on q whole
sale trade in corruption as briskly as ever.

THE CENTRAL PAnK.-From the way things
arc going at the Central Park grounds there Is
a faint likelihood that the next generation may
see something resembling park there. AT
present it promises to be little less of nuisance
than the Battery enlargement. 1t has become
a corrupt political job partisan employees ind
psrtisan commissioner have it all their own
way, and the public will be left without park
in the end. If things had been properly iaa-
paged we might have had by this time graded
drive of a few miles ut least, instead OF some
seven hundred acres of scrubby ground, scat
tered over with broken stone and enclosed by a
very unsightly wall. 1t will cost some twenty
millions to make decent park of it. If such q
thing is ever accomplished, which is exceeding
ly doubtful, seeing tina. the commissioners ha,s
now appointed person to oversee the work
who knows nothing at all about engineering.

BoGvs Coin MSEs.-The newspapers through

of gold mines In tho thinly settled districts OF
the South and West The latest gold fever has
broken out In Iowa, ard thence extended to
several other States. Honest people will do
well to take these stories with several grains Of
allowance. We have strong suspicion that
most Of these mining discoveries are bogus az
fairs, trumpcd up to deceive ignorant immi.
grants and other credulous people into settling
in those States where it Is pretended the trea-
sure exists.
