MURDER OF THE GOVERNOR OF BoGoTA BY
HIS BRoTHER.-The Bogota, Nsw Granada.
correspondent of the New York Times,
writes:
On the lst of November, the population
Of Bogota were Mortified mt the report that
Jose Maria Malo BlancO, Governor of the
State, had been murdered by his brother
Jesus. The parents of these two brothers
both died ut about the same time few years
ago, leaving Don Jose the executor OF the
will. The property was divided i'll accord
ance with their wishes, but the younger
brother Jesus, was not satisfied with his IN
heritance, and charged the elder with un-
fairness in his distribution.
On the day of the murder, Jesus met his
brother in the street, and asked him when
he was going to pay him $4,000 due him.
The Governor replied that he had already
paid him all that was justly due him
Jesus, upon this, drew two revolverS, and
offering his brother one of them, told him
he must defend himself. Jose declined
such an unnatural duel and commenced re-
monstrating with his brother, when the lat
ter fired, the shot taking effect. The wound
ed man, not knowing he was shot, ran, and
was followed by Jesus, who discharged two
more shots ut him, neither of which took
effect.
Don Jose was carried to his home, and
died III twenty-seven hours after, invoking
pardon for his brother. He left n wife
and seven little children. 1t was thought
Jesus would be acquitted of the crime on
the plea Of insanity--but a few days after
the tragedy news reached Bogota that in
one of the rural districts of the State, man
of humble fortune had killed his brother
with IA scythe-and as the poor man must
be shot, the rich one will naturally share
his fate. Senior Pedro Davila Nova takes
the post vacated by Senior Blanco.

Lizzie Wyatt, of Pittsburgh, Pa, vino
has recently become II subject of some noto-
riety, Il day or two since attempted to cow
hide Mr.. Newt, of The Chronicle, for say
ing that her performances Of GIVE in a
dramatic spectacle, was strikngly true to
nature. Mr.. Newt after warning her that
he should treat any woman who unsexed
herself to attack him, precisely as if she
was Il man. slapped her face pretty severely,
when she concluded to retire.
passenger who arrived in the Ocean
Queen has stated in Washington that there
was considerable feeling of Indignation ex-
pressed 10y Southern Americans in Paris
towards Louis Napoleon for entertaining
Senator Seward, to the exclusion Of South
ern gentlemen They propose to dissolve
the Union with France.
\ NEW HALF DoLLAR-A new half dol
lar has been got up at the United States
Mint to be Submitted to the government for
its approval. The new coin, although OF
the same diameter the one in circulation
is much thicker at the rim, in consequence
of the deeper sinking of the die and hence
much more durable On one side is Il me
dallion portrait of Washington, with the
head wreathed in laurel; the word liberty
upon scroll over the bust; at the bottom
the date, 1852 and around the whole the
words United States of America in plain,
well adapted, raised letters. On the reverse
side wreath of grain envelopes The words
Half Dollars, i'll the same beautiful letters
The coin is very handsome.
The Democrats from Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, says the Cleveland Leader, betrayed
the West by voting for Mr.. Bocock for the
Speakership. He has always opposed the
Homestead Bill, and also voted against Mr.
Grow 5 bill ut the last session, to give pre-
emptoners ten years pay for their lands
If elected Speaker, lie would SO pack the
land committees as to stite both of these
measures so vital to the landless and to the
wilderness West. Let emigrants of all
classes who seek new western homes make
u note of these things.
The proprietors of the New Orleans Cres-
cent, in July, 1857, refused to pay tax of
$75 on property invested in their newspaper
establishment, on the ground that it was
exempt from taxation under article LOG of
the State Constitution, the first clause of
which reads, " the press shall be free In
lower court the ground taken by the pro-
prietors of the Crescent was sustained, but
on an appeal, the Supreme Court reversed
this ruling, and decreed that the defendants
should pay one per cent. a month interest rs
damages to the aggrieved ely, from the time
of the refusal to pay tax.

No RIGHT TO ENDoRSE.-1. A man has no
right to endorse when the failure of the first
party to meet his obligation will render the
creditors of the endorser liable to lose in
consequence of such endorsement.
2. He has no right to endorse for another
man unless he make provision for meeting
such obligation.
3. He has no right to endorse, unless he
fully intends to pay what he promises to,
promptly, in case the first party fails to do
SO. Few endOrsers prepare for this.
4. His relations to his family demand
that he shall not obligate himself to oblige
another, simply at the risk of defrauding
or depriving them of what rightfully belongs
to them.
5. He should never endorse or become re-
sponsible for any amount without security is
furnished by the first party. 1t should be
made business transaction, rarely mat
ter of friendship. 1t is equivalent to a loan
Of capital to the amount of the Obligation
and the same precautions should be taken
to secure it.
&. A man has no more right to expect
another to endorse his note without recon-
pense than to expect an insurance company
to insure his home or his life gratuitously
Z. 1t is not business policy for one to ask
another to endorse his note promising to
accommodate him in the same manner The
exchange of signatures may have, and usu-
ally does have very unequal value. 1t is
better to secure him the amount, and exact
Il like security for the amount of response
bililty incurred.
8. 1t is better to do Il business that will
involve no necessity for asking or granting
such favors or making such exchanges. 1t
is always safe and just to do so.-Prairie

BasH John W. Forney says the Demo-
crat who proposes to support the Charleston
nominee, regardless Of the platform he may
occupy, commits treason to the truth IN adj
vance. If the Convention accepts the doc
trine Of the Democratic party, as under
stood from the beginning, he is for its noml-
nee if not, he is against him. What Mr.
Forney conceives TO be the true Democratic
doctrine may be inferred from his state
ment that he considers slavery creature OF
local law, and that the Constitution of the
United States is in no manner responsible
for its extension or limitation. He insists
that the man who takes the position that
slavery goes into the territories under the
provisions Of the Constitution, but that it is
unnecessary to pass any law by Congress
for the protection of slavery in the terrific
ties--if he be n representative or Senator IN
Congrcss-is guilty of perjury
Forney, Hickman, and their compeers, are
the embodiment of Mr.. Douglas strength in
PENNSYLVANIA, and Mr. Forney iniers from Mr.
Douglas letter to Mr.. Dorr Of Iowa, that he
(Douglas) stands with him and will not sup
port the Charleston candidate who may run
upon silent or equivocal doctrine. Do
the anti Lecompton friends Of Mr.. Douglas
in Indiana stand shoulder to shoulder with
his Pennsylvania adherents on this point?
As we remarked the other day, the issue
between Mr.. Douglas and buchanan is
straight out admitting of no compromise
or bubble We will watch with interest the
course of our anti-Lecompton friends i'll the
next State Convention. Let them stand
firm for the truth

ANEcDoTE OF CHoATE.-The following
anecdotes are from Parker's "Reminiscences
of Choate:
Mr.. Choate got a great laugh at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Rantoul, the United States
District Attorney, while commenting on the
hestancy of Wilson to say how he came to
be a States witness-how he got into com
munication with the government ut all.
MY brother Rantoul,' said he, told this
rascal what to say Rantoul sprang TO his
feet, inquiring if he meant to charge him
with nstigating the witness to speak false?
No. burst out Choate, you told him to
speak the truth; and saw you do it.
captain OF whaleship was sued by his
seamen for giving them short commons and
bad treatment. Choate was for the captain.
The crew was a bad one, and he had no
difficulty in dealing with the charge of ill
treatment; but with the poor fare he had
much more trouble. The sailors appeared
and testified in the case.
Choate asked one of them, What did
you have on Sunday2' He replied, duff
What is duff? Plum pudding and mo
lasses.' Next he asked, What did you have
on tuesday, He replied, 'Dundy funk
What's dundy funk ? said Choate Mince
meat and potatoes, was the reply. What
did you have on Thursdays?' was next
asked. : Lob-ceousce, was the reply
WHAT'S lob-scousce = 1t is a stew
1t appeared in the course of the tria
that the captain put into the Cape de Verdes
to procure vegetables. lie succeeded in
procuring large quantity of squashes, but
could obtain only some dozen onions, Of
which he gave one to each OF the crew and
retained one himself When Choate came
L L Al
evidence, Gentlemen of the July, that we
had duff on Sunday, dundy funk on Tues
day, and on Thursday, that delicious COM
pound, lob-scousce- And not only did the
captain furnish an abundant supply of that
esculent and succulent vegetable of the
tropic, the squash, but with his own hand
aye, with his own paternal hand-he divided
| the onions amongst that ungrateful and re-
bellious crowd |"

GoUGING.-There seems to be II general
impression among the Douglas plpers
throughout the State that all is not going to
be fair at the January Convention. The
Logansport Pharos, the Charlottesville Re
rietc the Terre Haute Jouraak, and the Sui
Ivan Democrat, all abound in warnings to
their friends " to keep their eyes skinned ="
for fraud and cheating on the part Of Rob
inson Il Go. The Sullivan DeBsocreb espe-
cially, dcnounces the idea of the Convention
sitting with closed doors, and that none but
the select few-and such as Major Robinson
may supply with tickets-shllI be admitted.
The Democrat says sucn proceedings might
do for Know Nothings or political trIcksters,
but the Democratic masses Of the State will
not submit to it.
We predict that the delegates to the Con
ventiun will submit to it, however such a
measure may be regarded by the masses,
and the Democrat will be compelled to take
back its expression, or be denominated-
what it seems to dread most awtully-d
b0Lter.

No reconciliation between Douglas
and Buchanan.

AhO
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press writes under date of
December II:
need scarcely say that the report cfrcu-
lated by the New York Herald and other
papers, that in the first place a meeting had
taken place between Senator Douglas and the
President; and in the second that advances
by the latter for concillatory interview
were Indignantly and contemptuousy re-
pulsed by Mr. Buchanan, is utterly without
foundation 1t is distinctly and emphati-
cally untrue in every particular No such
interview took place. No such interview
could take place, nor is there the remotest
chance on the part of Mr.. Buchanan, or
the faintest desire of the DouglasiteS that
such an interview will or can take place.
The report is the weak invention of weak
enemy; but it overshOt the mark. The
statement that the advance, if made, was
repulsed, is so stupid as to give the lie
dircct--even to the mind of the most unitia-
ted-to the rest OF the ridiculous report.
Senator Douglas is farther away, if possible,
than ever from any federation of the doc
trines and policy advocated by MIR. Buch-
anan; to which we are indebted for the
vindictive spirit infused into public affairs,
and the i'll effects of which the country is
reapng i'll Harper's Ferry outrages and
Congressional scenes of violence. Again
let me say the report, in every particular, is
stupidity and contemptiby false. And,
moreover, you may take it for granted that
if such an advance was made 20 the Senator
from Illinois, he would Indignantly repel it,
as he should. He is maguanimous victor,
but even the most philosophic captive could
not expect that Senator Douglas could or
should extend to the present Administers
ton more than the merest courtesies of civ
ilized lite-iu politics, no courtesy what
ever.
