Terrible AIfair--Eight Boys Shot
by NAA Old NTaN. si ats

The Pittsburg Journal of Saturday has
the following particulars Of on unfortunate
affair: via aa s<
Mr.. Robert McCurdy, On old and we'll
known citizen, resident on Carpenters al.
ley, on the east side of the Trinity Church
grounds, was married yesterday afternoon
to young lady Of some twenty-three or
twenty-four years. Mr.. McCurdy is said to
be over sixty years OF age. This disparity
in the ages OF the couple excited remark
among the neighbors, who expressed their
feelings without reserve, at what they con-
sidered an unnatural union. IL seems that
the boys fully symputhised with the feelings
OF the older people. In the evening mum,
Der Of them, perhaps fifteen or twenty,
gathered about Mr.. McCurdy's residence,
and COMMENCED pelting the house with brick
bats and stones, some OF which were thrown
through the windows and doors. Mr.. Nc
Curdy went out and demonstrated with them,
warning them to goaway, but they paid no
attention to him. ss, ,,s, e.q.a has
The company present were much alarm,
ed, fearing personal injury from the mob
without. Mr.. McCurdy then seized pistol,
heavily loaded with shot, and fred upon the
crowd, wounding,a as we Te Tesinformed, eight
of the boys. Two oil these are named Day-
id and James Sims, sons Of Mr.. David Sims
on Virgin alley. Their feet, legs, and thighs
are literally covered with shot wounds, and
their injuries are very severe. Six other
boys were slightly wounded. Their names
are as follows: J. Shortly, Tunnel street;
Paul McWilliams, Sixth street; James Dun.
avan, High street; William and Edward
McKeeyer, Strawberry alley; and William
Baily, Church alley. Mr.. McC ,rdy wal

The Election lm KaMsas-The
Vote Against Admission,

The Washington Union, OF Tuesday, in
reference TO the election in Kansas, says
that the results leave no doubt of the refus.
al Of the people to be admitted into the
Union on the terms proposed in the Con-
ference Bill Of the last session. The peo-
pie OF Kansas have had sad experience, as
tools in the hands Of demogogues who have
used them TO effect political results outside
Of tie Territory. 1t is not surprising, the
excitement Of the pest having sabsded, that
they should feel disnclined to put on the
habiliments of State, and incur, at no
ment Of pecuniary pressure, the largely in
creased expenses of an establishment OF
their own.
Kansas, by the force of circumstances, to
which We need not refer, has been pure
ly exceptional case. Being drawn into the
vortex Of the political whirlpool and made
merely instrumental in the work Of advanc.
ing the fortunes Of distant, but reckless
faDaticism, it became necessary, if possible,
10 remove oil causes for continued excite.
ment by the prompt admission of the State
into the UniUu, even when it vas known
HAT there wus rot sufficient number Of in.
babitants 10 cntitle them to one member Of
CoDgres. All efforts TO pacify the people,
however, having been unavailing, and see
ing how demrgcgues were likely still to ex.
Crcise suprf me control in the Territory, il
was the dictate of patriotism to overlook en-
tirely the question of numbers and admit
them into the family of States. The terms
Of admission finally arranged by Congress
were liberal, and the question hether they
desired to become State WIS finally SUBJ
mit,ed to them. They decided in the mega.
live.
This result we do not regret. There is
no longer tiny reason for treating Kansas as
exceptional 10 the general rule prevailing
in reference 10 tie admission OF new States
into the Union. Justice to the people oil
ether Territories requires that they shall
Lave sufficient population, before Gdmis.
zion, TO cEtite them at least to one repre-.
sentative in Congress. About one LundreG
thousand people is, aud ought 10 be, the low
Get number entitled TO such admission
There are no well-gre unded grievances in
remaining under territorial forms, and this
seems to be the judgment of the Kansas
people. They hive decided thus to remain
and, us they have at length come TO realize
that peace is better than rebellion, we trust
that they will now wait till their numbers
call for change government.

SAD AccIDENT.-On the l4th inst, Ja-
cob Long, a farmer residing about one and
half miles from Orvile, Wayne County,
was falling tree. The tree in falling
struck the top Of another and caused limb
to fall in the direction where Mr.. Long was,
which striking him on the head and side
killed him almost instantly. His two sons
who were with him at the time ran to the
neighbors for assistance, but life was ex-
tinct when they arrived. Mr.. Long was o
man respected and loved by all who knew
him. He leaves large and respectable
family to mourn his loss.
