Murder Of a Young WOsmnM-'rhO
Murderer ~ early Killed.

The vicinity Of Georgetown was thrown
into considerable excitement yesterday
morning by the brutal murder of pretty,
interesting young lady named Mary
Sheney, by William Nugont. an lnish la
borer ON the Washington aqueduct. 1t is
reported that Nugonl became enamored of
the young girl, and because ahe refused to
marry him, took her life in a ft of jeal-
ousy, while under the influence of liquor.
His conduct previous to the commission
Of the deed was certainly very singular.
He was frequently heard to mutter in
coherently to himself, and behaved in so
extraordinary a manner. that he was OH
Tuesday last taken to Georgetown, but re-
leased rs soon rs he evinced signs Of re-
turning self-control.
Shortly after his release he returned to
work, and WAS heard to complain of the
severity of the tasks imposed upon him.
On Thursday night he went quietly to bed,
but arose between four and five O'clock,
and, armed with a shnrpened case knife,
entered the apartment Of the deceased and
cat her throat. She lived but ten minutes,
and when her father reached her, she was
just able 10 inform him Of the manner Of
her death. The murderer was immedi-
stely secured by those who were attracted
to. the spot. but before the arrival OF tho
officers, his fellow -labores commenced
beating him in n manner that he could not
have survived for any length Of time. had
he not been rescued. Al one moment the
mob evineel n disposition to hang him, so
intense WAS the feeling excited against
him; and this, in all probability, would
have been accomplished bu. for the timely
interpos.ion Of the murdered girls

NovnL MARR1AoE FESTIVITIES Al

NovHL MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES AT
WAsHINOToN.-On Saturday night last a
young man, named Fraucett, was married
on Maryland Avenue, and while the oc-
casion was being celebrated by few gath
cred friends. some ten or twelve gentlemen
came in, uninvited, and with characteristic
playfulness, strunk the groom over the
head with slung shot, and blowing out
tile lights, proceeded to make merry after
their own fashion, by breaking the furni-
ture, and frightening the ladies present.
After remaining as long as they chose,
they retired outside, where they remained
till about 2 O'Clock A. NJ, throwing occa-
sional stones and brickoats at the house.
1t is said that the groom knows the cap
tain (?) Of this pleasant party, but having
n due regard for his life in his new domes-
tic relation, refuses to inform against him.

Nom iMa tIOn or p. II. Blair, Jr

Hon. r. p. Blair, jr. has been ro-nomi-
mated for Congress. in the St. Louis Dis
trict, Missouri. The Convention which
nominated him, took bold and distinct
Republican grounds, and will go into the
contest on fair and square Free State
issue. There are now three candidates in
the field, Republican. American and Demo
cratic. The Republicans have strong
hopes OF success.
We see from our exchanges that Re-
publican candidates will be run in nearly,
if not quite all the Districts in Missouri.
We do not, of course, hope for the election
of any but Blair, of St. Louis, this year !;
but the fact that men can, without sacrifi-
cling their lives, permit their names to be
announced as candidates, shows such evil
denoe of progress. that all friends of free
labor everywhere ought to take encourage
ment. Just 30 soon as the despotism that
seals mems lips, is thrown off in any Slave
State, and the people allowed to discuss
tho subject, that moment Slavery is DOOM
ed. Its fnal eradication is, then, n ques
lion of time only. Such is now the case
in most parts Of Missouri. The press and
the people are discussing the subject with
the same freedom they do in Ohio. And
we look forward to a day not distant, when
that great State, feed from the incubus
that now oppresses her, will take rank
among the very first States Of the Union.
The election Of true Republicans, would
Of course accelerate the movement, but
whether elected or defeated this fall, the
good work will go on.

Jury will ever cause another proceeding,
on the same charge, TO be instituted.
Thus the matter ends.
The Ledger" commenting editorially
on tho trial, says:
The Court was WndniDs0ws IN their
opinion; Rhd We feel fully justified in say
ing that the evidence adduced for aud
against the prisoner warranted them in ar
irving At the conclusion they did.
We have read the entire testimony care
fully and impartially, and arrived at the
Same conclusion several days since.
We defy any lawyer in the country to
come to any other conclusion, after a care
ful and impartial reading of the testimony.
We are no political friend Of Gen. Lane's.
We despise every political sentiment that
he ever uttered, at the same time, MS
public journalist, we feel it incumbent
upon us rs public duty TO assent to the
judgment of the examining Court. and to
accord to them all praise. Col. Jenkins
WAS particular friend Of ours, and we are
ireo TO confess that our sympathies are in
that direction, but We determined to hear
the final result ere we spoke one word.
The testimony proves conclusively that
Col: jenkins was the aggressor. accompa-
MED by three friends, al armed; and that
the party were closing in on Gen. Lane,
and actually shot at him twice ere he
showed signs of self-protoction, and the
man who would not protect himself, in his
power to do so, would prove to the world
that he was unfit to live, and too con-
temptible to- die. Gen. Lane acted just as
every man should act under like circum-
stances. and public opinion will sustain
him. ~' a
We dismiss this subject from our COY
umns with the remark that. let the man
be friend or foe Of ours, in case Of life
or death. we will endenvor to do him just
ice "though the heavens fall.'
