A Lecomptonite Rampant.

Gen. 10. Burns, the licked out in the
Coshocton district because be regarded
Buchanan sovereign on Lecompton rather
than the people, is choleric, mad, pugna-
cious. Since the election he assaled a
Mr.. Ellis, because he did not vote for him,
pitching in like the Benicia Boy and like
his prototype coming off second best; and
still more recently the fighting Gems son
attacked the editor of the Progressive Ace
in the street, ard after a rough and tum.
BILE scrimmage took to '.inglorious fight y
at the sight of the printers SHOOTING
stick" The probable reason for the Ios,
outrage by the irritable Burns is thus sta.
ted by the Age:
Wepresume the immediate reason for
our being attacked last week was that 1t.
VIM. Burns, son of the General, had lust
received m appointment from the Presi.
dent, ont of which large fortunes are some
times made, and he was fearful that We
might connect his appointment with the
charges which had been made in Congress
last winter against the General himself of
bribery and corruption, and that this was
in part pay for the price of bis vote, and
he hoped thereby TO friehtsn us from ma
king that charge.

Rurlisaue Justice.

A few weeks since a gambler named
Kendle, in Cincinnati, after having had
quarrel with his companion, Gregory,
followed the latter to his room and beat
his brains out with large pitcher. The
murderer was arrested, and while in the
hands of the officers gloried in the deed,
and again and again declared that be meant
to kill Gregory.
Kendle has lately had his trial and was
defended by Mr.. Johnston. Just after Mr..
]. commenced his argument for the prison
er, the female relatives were brought into
Court-mind they did not come in quiet
ly before the case was called on, and when
but little curiosity would have been excl
ted-they came in when the house was
packed, and when their way to the prison
er's box, inch by inch, would absorb the
gaze of all that morbid crowd, who delight
in appeals TO the passions. AS they ap-
preached the culprit there was scene, and
of course lawyer Johnston, who weighs two
hundred and twenty pounds, must be so
affected he could not go on; moreover, the
jury could not attend 10 him and the weep
ing tablenux beside, and more than all
that, every woman's tear there shed would
outweigh an hours argument. Well might
he stop and let the mother and sisters blot
out justice by their tears. They did So,
for the jury brought in verdict of man.
slaughter offence calling, at farthest,
for confinement ten years. There of course
were no conscientious scruples about the
death penalty, inaslnuch rs verdict of
murder in the second degree would not
have involved hanging. 1t was simple
weakness on the part of the jury.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: .....
To say that this verdict has excited
feeling of disgust in the minds of all who
have heard il, is but family to express
the sentiments of the community. The
facts and the testimony seemed to have
been entirely ignored, and ill-directed SYM
pathy for eriminal-excited to greater
degree by the little domestic scene gotten
up and enacted in the presence of the jury
has made mockery of justice, and farce
of legal proceedings.
The climax of absurdity could not be
reached only 10y setting aside the verdict,
and rendering one Of assault and battery!
We speak plainly upon this subject because
the public have become sick and tired of
the daily outrages which are committed in
our midst, and the facility with which muir
ders and rogues of every degree escape just
punishment BY the fctions of the law, and
the sympathy Of jurous. They feel that
no mans life is safe where premium is Of
ferei for the qualification of malice and re-

The RAID UPON NIcAREeUA.-Iti is a
notorious fact, that Walker has fitted out
another expedition for the invasion of Mic
aragua, at the port of Mobile. He has at
least one vessel there, all ready 10 sail b;
but her departure, we were informed the
other day, is delayed in consequence ofthe
refusal of the Collector to give her clear
ance, until he has communicated with the
government. at Washington. .iaoWei learn
now that specific instructions have been
forwarded to the, Collector on the subject,
but their character has not been permitted
to transpire. Ii does not matter what their
character is. The case is plain one, and
the duty the President and his subordi-
mates equally plain.N Walker says bis exl
pedition is an "emigsation" concern; but,
if that subterfnge be .permitted toavail him
the Administration will be held response
bic. He was only "emigrating" when.
some years since, he went to Sonora, and
plundered the defenceless inhabitants of
that country. When he had to take to his
heels, he "emigrated" next to Nicaragua,
to continue his profession of land pirate in
new field; and, in due time, driven from
there, he is now about to repeat the ''out-
rages," by emigra,ing again. The fellow
is All incorrigible migrate, as well as an in
curable filibuster. He shows bis gratitude
to the United States for rescuing him from
the hands Of the Nicaraguans, VIXEN he was
about to become their prisoner, by viola
ting, and persuading Others to violate, the
Neutrality Laws. ,I ana T, i.-5s is...
The intent to violate those laws is now
well known to the government. Intent can
not be reached by the arm of the law; but
as soon as intention ripens into action, the
country has right to expect that that arm
will strike TO some purpose. The Presi-
dent has promised much in his proclama-
tion against these filibdsters; we shall
soon see what these promises are worth.

RA A singular trial has just been con-
cluded at Pittsburg. Some time ago a
slave, who called himself George W. Fer
ris, ran away from Tuscumbia, Ala. Ferris
was SO white that one not knowing him
would not suspect his having negro blood
In him. He went to Pittsburg where he
passed for white man, worked al his
trade which was that of brick layer, and
married white woman by whom be one
child. A White man named Geo. Shaw,
also a brick-layer, arrived at Pittsburg and
having known Ferris al Tuscumbia, recog-
nized him. He informed his master of il,
and then enticed Ferris to Kansas, where
he was arrested as fugitive from Ala
bama aud taken back to his owner. Shaw
was tried lately in Pittsburg, convicted of
kidnapping, and sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary. The sconndrel was rightly served.
