A BALTIMORE MURpEREE's FIRST VISIT

in noticing the hruta4msrder of Officer Rig
don in Baltimore by Marion Crops, saws:
Marion Crops lie rhe same person as Mall
Tory Ktopp, who headed the mob that at
tackled the fourth ward polls in This city in
June, 1857. armed with a large iomabawk,
which be brandished among the terrified vo-
ters in a manner to drive many from the
ground. Under the last mentioned name he
was afterwards indicted by the grand jury
here for being engaged in a riot on that day;
but, SO far as we can learn, no requisition
was ever issued by the cria'inal court with a
view Of having him brought to trial. he
will be recognized by most of our citizens
who were present on the occasion above re-
fsrred to, who will never forget his bull head,
short-cropped hair, iron-toed boots. long legs,
and the dsvilish weapon with which he Glove
his way among the legal voters of w SSH

PRESIDENTIAL IND1cATIoNs.-Though
rather early in the day to move in regard 10
the candidacy for the great campaign Of
1860, or to discuss the merits of the various
Presidential aspiranis, it is nevertheless to
a slight extent being d%one--and as ~illuslra-
tive oc the views or bidds of those who
thus indulge, it is interesting to observe the
various combinations of names in the tickets
suggested. The following are those that
have come under our observation: Presi-
dent John G.. Fremont, Vice President Viii
liam l.. Dayton; President William II. Sew
ard, Vice President Francis p. Blair, Jr.;
President Salmon p. Chase, Vice President
Edward Stanley; President Charles Sumner,
Vice President Cassius NJ. Clay; President
Abraham Lincoln, Vice President John p.

Col. S. MEDARY, the sold wheel horse of
Democracy"--no difference whether lie
compton or anti Lscompton Democracy, so
ii has patronage to besiow-has signifed
his acceptance of the post of Governor OF
Kansas, recently rendered him by the Presi-
dent. II in no other way it is supposed the
office will pay handsomely by the facilities
afforded for specializing in government lands
and town lots, at which Territorial Govern
ors are always adopts. Old stagers like
the Colonel care little about official honor
with that they soon become surls.ted, but Of
fer them u place that pays and they will not
fail to accept it, no difference what its
nature or where located.

A ROMANCE SQUAsHED.-The Manketo
'sIndependant' of the Eth, says:
Zone of the Sioux chiefs, recently re-
turned from Washington, brought oack with
him an addition to his household, in the
shape OF a white wife--a goodslooking
f~ashionably dressed young woman, about
twenty years of age. From n of cur
citizens, who went up to the agency on the
same boat, we learn that she manifested
considers able disappointment at the asPecto OF
affairs on her arrival. The mani Of the
thing was pretty ef~fectually ''squashed'
by the appearance OF the inmates and sur
rouRdinss of her new home. She declined
all efforts of assistance from the officers OF
the boat, who were anxious to return her to
civilized society, protesting her ability and
intention to attend TO her own business, and
advising them to do likewise. They left
her in an e,ght-by-ten mud howell, in CON-
pany with a couple of Dacotah matrons,
who also, we believe, had claims upon the
affections of the chiefin question.

The trial of CHARLES KENDALL, indicted
for the murder Of WILLIAM GREGoRY, be-
fore the Common Pieas Court Of Hamilton
County, terminated ON Friday last, and re-
suited in finding The accused guilty Of mum
slaughter, the punishment fer which we be-
lieve is Imprisonment in the penitentiary not
exceeding ten years. 1t would be difficult
for one not conversant with the nice distiucu
tiobs which the law makes in defining often
ses of this character to conceive how q ver-
die, for anything short of murder in the first
degree could have been rendered in this
case-which was one of peculiar atrocity in
all its aspects, the result of tie assault being
precisely such as it would seem, the accused
intended it should be. The Cincinnati Ga
zet!e animadverts upon the verdict with great
severity--says 1t is regarded as outrageous by
nearly the entire coulmunity--caIls the tri-
al a solemn farce--and says the extraordi-
nary result is doubtless mainly attributable
TO a scene that was got up in the Court room
the last day OF the trial by the Introduction
Of a number of the female relatives and
friends OF the accused, who were Of course
seriously affected by the scene being ensc-
ted, and the jury imbibed through them UNI
due sympathy for the prisoner.

RARE CoSFRssoN.--The Washington
Union of recent date makes the following
confession in regard to the late House oil
Representatives. Such a confession is very
significant when the fact is considered th4'
the Administration had a clear MAJ Gritty Of
about twenty over all opposition, at the
commencement of the session:
"Instead OF receiving a cordial support
no Administration has ever had &c withstand
so many assaults from an opposition House
than the present Democratic Adninlsiration
has had 10 withstand from a Democratic
House; and ii is a remarkable fact that eF-
cry assault that has been made upon The
Administrative by the present Congress
though seconded OF course ny the opposi
ton has been inStigated, directed and stimu-
lated by Democratic ms m5efs.

Hon JEFF. DAVIS, the great Mississippi
fre-euter, spent the past summer in the New
England States, and during his stay there
made several speeches, which, coming from
SO ardent and desperate z champion of
Southern rights" were not regarded as ex-
cessively ultra in sentiment. On returning
home he was accused by some of his former
admirers with having come down from the
lofty height he had previously occupied in
questions of public pelicy, of having in fact
truckled to the North. In order to set
himself right and vindicate his fai- fame in
the South, he made a speech at Jackson on
the 18th inst, which abounds in all the vim
dictiveness against the North and its institu-
tons, and the usual ultra fre-eating ferocity
which characterized his forensic efforts when
a few years since he canpassed the State he
now represents in the Senate as the advo-
cate of d~isunion, or secession, which amounts
to the same thing. In his speech of the
18th he declares his steadlast adherence tc
the State Rights party, and his utter repudi-
alton of the doctrine regarding slavery in
the Territories held by Senator DoUGLAs.--
/ He declares that the opinions OF Mr.. Doug.
las, advanced during the Illinois canvass
were as Objectionable as those of Mr.. LIN.

made to this end. he advised that all the ole

Minnie r ihes, and that the State should pre-
pare at once for war, collect ammunition
