A Sickels AHsir.

Mr.. John Howard, IL respectable citizen OF
Minneapolis, Minnesota, some time last
month, returned home and fund man
named Smell in his bedroom. A scutlie
ensued, Howard attacking Smell with knife.
but the woman interfering in some manner,
permitted Smell to escape unframed. How
ard Immediately ordered his guilty wife to
pack up her effects, and sent her home To
her fathers house, III Chautauque county,
New York. In the meantime, Howard pub
licly gave notice to Smell and his friends that
he should STAY him AT sight. Smell very
prudently kept ont of the way until Tuesday
morning last, when Howard caught sight of
him at the corner of Washington avenue and
Helen street, and Immediately commenced
firing at him. Smell ran into store, pur-
sued by Howard, who put three balls into
him before he gained the security of the Gel.
lar, where he ensconced himself. Howard
ran from door to door of the store to get a
chance for another shot, but Smell not APP
pearing, he was taken away by his friends.
The balls were extracted, and Smell was at
last accounts wavering between life and
death. The parties had been friends. and
lived on the most intimate terms.

Forgery and Attempts to Poison.

Some time since DIR. A. j. Morrison, Of
Henderson, KY, was prosecuted for forgery.
and DESTROYS of reyenging himself on the
prosecuting attorney, john f. Arnold, who
was active in all the III easures against him,
he attempted to procure his death by poison.
For this purpose he employed coloied wal
ter at a hotel, named Harrison, to place
prussc acid in his coffee Harrison, how
ever, instead Of fulfilling the bargain. in
formed Mr.. A. of the conspiracy against his
life. The Louisville Democrat says:
"Nnt discouraged by his first failure, DR..
Morrison gave the waiter another dose If

raspberries which he was to hand Mr.. Ar
mold. But the honest servant boy again in
formed, and then arrangements were made
for the detection OF this worse than BOrglan
conspirator. AT certain time he was to
give Harrison a third portion, eyidehaing a
cool aud malicious determination to destroy
the attorney for the commonwealth. In or
der that his viliainy might be thoroughly ex-
posed to competent witnesses, and his hell
ish plans completely frustrated, hole was
bored through the ceiling so that persons in
the upper chamber might notice what was
going on below without being Observed
The plan proved entirely successful. Nor
rison was seen To- hand the waiter the poi
son, and give him instructions concerning
it. The rascal was Immediately seized IN
Thursday and confined in jail Thus provi-
dentially was this base attempt against the
! life of u valued and efficient officer of the
commonw ealth fulled.
But the dcnouement of the tragedy re-
mains to be uniolded. Morrison overcome
by the weight Of testimony against him, and
apprehending violence from the hands OF an
outraged and excited populace, committed
suicide on Sunday morning. He procured
knife, and after cutting his throat, severed
the main artery of the leg. When found
he was dead, literally weltering i'll his blood. "

The Washington Constitution reviews
Judge Douglass recent exposition of his po-
sition, with no favor whatever 1t regards
him as Offering somewhat dcGmre to the
Charleston Convention, and it thinks that
his assertion, should the convention declare
that the Constitution of the United States
either establishes or prohibits slavery in the
Territories beyond the power of the people
legally to control it as other property, he
would refuse to permit his name to lie used,
amounts to nothing more than an ambiguous
announcement Of the doctrine which lie is
understood to have maintained in Congress
and in Illinois-namely, that the first in
habitants of Territory have right "by uu-
friendly legislation" to destroy the rights of
the citizens of the slaveholding States as
guaranteed to them by the Federal Constitu-
ton" Judge Douglas has evidently "a hard
road to traver-but he, probably, has made
his calculations-and will act accordingly.
One of the newspaper Geographic de
spatches, from Washington, published on
Saturday last, was the following
Judge Douglas stated to-day to very
prominent southern politician, that he intends
to support the nominee OF the Charleston
conventions; but that what was meant by the
letter to Mr. Dorr, of Iowa. was that he
will not himself consent to run upon plat
form that he cannot endorse. In any event
he will adhere to his party against the oppo-
sition" We do not know what truth there
is, in this reported explanation OF the pre-
yinus letter
