DESPERATE AND FATAL CONFLICT WITH HORSE
THIEvEs.-The Tuscumbia (Ala.) Democrat, of the
Gath, relates the following story:
On the night of the l7th inst L. B. Cooper, ESQ.
of our town, had two horses stolen from his stable
and learning that men passed from Courtland to De-
catur riding horses answering the description of his
employed Mr. Sydney g. Gipson one of our worthy
citizens to go in pursuit, who traced the scOundrels
into the southeast corner of Morgan county on the
road from Somerve TO Brownsville where on Satur-
day, about O'Clock, p. NJ, he met two men riding
Mr.. C.s horses one of them gave his name as John
Smith, and proessed to be from Louisville Ky the
other passed under the name of Patrick Chambers,
an Irishman. Mr.. Gipson Joined them under the plea
of wishing to swap horses but really TO get assist
ance. After travelling about two miles they met
teamster near FARMHOUSE and not doubling but the
wagner and proprietor of the farm would come to
his assistance, dsmounted and boldly demanded the
horses seizing the reins OF Smiths horse and ex-
claiming "they are stolen!n The thieves also dis.
mounted and charged on him with the fury of fiends
After few blows with sticks, in which Mr. G.. seems
to be worsted, he succeeded in drawing his bowie
knife, the kind called " Arkansaw Tooth Pick p and
finding that no one came to his assistance went TO
work cutting first and then the other, until his
Sne wrested from him, when he retTeated across
fence, hut the rutians did not pursue him. although
armed with his bowie-knife, but remounted rode a
few steps, and both fell Smith expiring in about 30
minutes. Chambers was alive at dark that night but
the physicians stated that it was impossible tor him
10 recover.
Mr., Gipson surrendered himself to the Justice of
the Peace and demanded an investigation who after
examining all persons present, well as Chambers
decided not TO bind him over. Mr.. g. returned home
on Monday morning, when ne was hailed as a hero,
but we trust our citizens will reward him with some
thing little more substantial than applause.

EXPENSES IN CRIMINAL Prosecutions -Sherihs
and clerks of court should send in their witness and
other claims in criminal prosecutions which have &C.
eumulated during the past year. The Legislature
just ended made an appropriation Of 500 600 to pay
expenses incurred under the act of 1857. In some OF
the parishes, the expenses for witnesses etc. have
been borne by appropriations from the parish treas-
ries but in the majority of the parishes the witness
claims still remain unpaid The parish of East Baton
Rouge paid the expenses incurred during the year
1857, and the proper authorities should at get
up the vouchers and present them to the Auditor of
Public Accounts, in order that the amount, some
$500, shall be refunded. There is settled policy
on the part of the State in reference to this matter
scarce session OF the Legislature takes place that
there IS not some alteration made In the law so tnat
the public officers themselves do not know what TO
do Evidently, where the criminal laws OF the State
violated, the suit is brought in the name OF the
State and under the laws regulating her judiciary
system hence the State should pay the expenses OF
witnesses summoned to testify in her behalf. As the
law stands now gross impostons will he practiced,
because it says all the expenses attendant on the
prosecution Of criminals shall be paid by the State.
District Attorneys allowed ten dollars extra
compensation be taxed in the bill of costs but it
only in cases where conviction follows that the State
pays and then the judge well the clerk of the
court must certify to the fact Clerks will bear in
mind that in addition to their certificate that the wit
ness or other claim has been recorded in book kept
FOR that purpose they must certify that each account
is correct and true. Baton Ronge Gazette 9th.
