An END OF 1.-THE grand Jury Of Davidson c, ua e
~ refused to find true bill sglinst Kslly and
MeDJwel, eOrrneOpsly eaarfei with participating
lathe villainous assault upon Cap pismukeso one Of
public streets #*z We argue nothing fir sm tbe
sequittal of these men, save that the Grand Jury
honestly believed there not sueh evidence as
Justified any further preceding From tue iesil-
Aony introduced before the Magistrates, We cane
10 the conclusion in our own mind. that IEey we're
as inaecent Of The crime chaIg Queen Fisiera's
last baby; and we have reason TO change
cur Opinion.-Ns'0s ofyesterday.
We hope this is the end of it, SO far as the
effort to brig The perpetrators of the outrage to JUS
tice is concerned IL is pretty certain hat in the
first instance, the police got on The wrong track"
and those who believed that Kelly sn1 Mcdowell
we're concerned il the assault upon Capt. Dismukes
we're honestly mistaken. The men who assaulted
Capt Dismukes the night of the leth ult we're in
stigated TO that desperate act by motive What
was that motive. Il must have been for the pur-
pose Of ahording them an opportunity 10 rob him,
or they were insigated by revenge. These were the
moot probable motives. We understand Capt Dis
mukes aequits them Of the former, and no acs
Of theirs convicts them of such a motive. Re
venge must then have instgated them to the
commission of this daring assault net only up
on the life of a respected and esteemed citizen,

which caused the evil passions Of those who perpe-
trated the assault TO break out in so terrible FORM
we know not nor have we even q suspicion. They
must have been bad men-men Of evil ungovern-
able passons-man with whom "might is right"
They must have known Capt Dismukes, for it was
established by the testimony of Mrs. Dismukes
that the man who seoOste1 them on Cherry street
near Broad, and gave his name as Smith, hailed her
husband as "Caplsin." They msy have mistaken
him for some other man, though that is hardly
probable. 1t strikes Us that clue might be OBJ.

and we hope police will abate no effort to bring
the men who thus set at defiance the laws of the
country and trample upon the peace of the city, to
the punishment they SO richly merit.
