FEARFUL CRIMINAL RECoRD.-A late Cincinnati
exchange contains the following: The murder re-
cord of the city and county, has been fearfuly large
tor the past year-greater in number, probably,
than that of any other city of the same population
in the Union. Two men, Augustus Ward and ne
groe, now serving out life sentence in the
Penitentiary for homicide, and third Kendall is
working on his first year of a period of ten for
like offence. In addition to these two men were
killed by policemen within the year, one of whom
is now under indictment. These five instances
should be sufficient, but does not half complete the
record. There are no less than thirteen per-
confined in the County Jail, who are charged
with murder in the first degree!
The names and Offences of these persons are as
follows: John Kahn, once convicted of killing the
alleged seducer of his daughter, and sentenced for
life, but granted new trial; James Burns SEN
fenced to be executed for the murder of Michael
Burk, but had new trial granted; Michael Julg,
charged with he murder of his wife; VIM. Beckley,
confined for killing the Italian; Charles Cook and
VIM. Setter, sentenced for life for the killing of
Kate Bureau, but who have Just been returned
from the Penitentiary to undergo another verdict
of the Court; Solomon Behymer, Sylvester Town
ley and George Mclean. committed to the grand
jury for the murder of VIM. Simonson, the wood
chopper, ia Anderson township; and John, Chas.
and William Clawson and William Adams charg-
ed with the murder of Richard Malone, a few days
since All ofthese parties under indictment,
except the last seven.
This completes the record of blood but not that
Jail, awaiting the action Of the Grand jury 80 per
sons, who are charged with the following offences:
grand larceny Z; passing counterfeit money, 2; hav
ing in possession, s. attempting to pass it. l; bur-
glary, 5; assault with intent to kill, A. forgery, s.
highway robbery, 2; arson, l; attempting to shoot
l; petit larceny, l.
But two months have elapsed since the last Grand
Jury adjourned, and yet we have this large number
to present to the inquest, which will be empaneed
on the sixth of the coming month.
SENATOR DAUGLAs' PLANTATION UNDER WATER
The late food of the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers
has been almost unexampled in the damage it has
done to the cotton planters. Many thousands of
acres of the best cotton lands overlooked and
rendered unproductiye during the present season,
including the famous Deer Creek Bottoms, noted
for their fertility. The fine plantation of Senator
Douglas, near the bayou, is wholly inundated.
This event doubtless it which called the SEN
ator to New Orleans, in the neghborhood of which
city he is now stopping.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN South CARoLINA.-While
the Democratic journals are berating the old Bay
State for her recent vote in regard to the two
years probation after naturalization, they should
also publish to the world that Massachusetts only
copied from South Carolina. That old, sterling
Democratic State passed law, or her Legislature
did, during the session of 1886, precisely similar
to the new clause of the Massachusetts Constitution.
That law remains in force at this time
