will render the Herald of the future as un-

HOMICIDE AT OwESsBoRo.-We learn, BY
a gentleman from Oweusboro, that homi-
eide of a shocking character was committed
at Owensboro, Daviess county, KY, on Mon
day last. A young man, by the name Of
Taylor, a saddler by trade, in fit OF intox-
ication, on Sunday, insulted and struck
or kicked a young lady, by the name of
Hughes, who was passing him on the side
walk, as she returned from church. He was
arrested, and on Monday was tried before a
magistrate, who fined him $50. The son
of Mrs. Hughes-nOt satisfied with the pun
ishment the law had inficted-wentto Tay-
lors shop, after the trial, and, calling him
out, shot him through the neck, giving him
a mortal wound. Though living when our
informant left, there was no hope of his
recovering. Hughes was arrested, but man
aged to make his escape from the officer
He crossed the river and took a horse for
this city. He was at Newburg on Monday
night, and the officers, in search Of him, ar
rived there a few hours after he left Yes
terday they passed through this city in close
pursuit of him. The bloody deed seems to
have had so little provocation, that jury
will be apt to pronounce it deliberate, pre-
meditated murder. .g fr-r.-

nes. From the present receipts of Gus
toms it is thought the government will be
able for the present year to pay its expenses
without further loans. Mr.. Cobb proves to
be not good calculator. In 1857 and 1858
the revenue fell short of his estimate about
$1,000, 900 This year, his estimate of rev
enue from customs was $4,000, 900; 1t is
likely to be So 900, 900. The expenditures
for the year are put down at $4,000, Ooo.-
Adding the land sales and incidental reve-
nue., there viii be an apparent surplus In
the Treasury at the end of the year. But
there will be large deficit in the postoffice
revenue, which will have to be paid out of
the Treasury--more than sufficient to alb
sorb its surplus.

A Mass Meeting OF the Democracy.
A convention of the Democracy of Van
derburgh county is called to meet at Baby
town on Saturday, the 9Th of October, to
select Delegates to the State Convention, at
indianapolis, to be held on the 18th of jan
uary next. This is movement, we pre-
sumo, of the Douglasites, and an effort on
their part to avoid being forestailed by the
Lecompton leaders. The Enquirer says:
"The Delegates TO Charleston are to be
selected at the State Convention and this
county should record its voice in favor Of
that man who is the choice of the Democra-
cy for the Presidency by sending a dslega-
ton favorable to his interests. We are not
going to say who the Democrats of this
county are for, but we want them to meet
together and say for themselves. We have
our choice. Others have theirs and we do
not agree. Let the majority rule, bat TO do
this rightly the majority should be on hand
at the Mass Meeting"
1t has choice, and it is for Douglas: but
it is ready to yield him and his doctrines of
popular sovereignty, at the dictation OF a
"packed convention" not representing per-
haps tenth of the voters in the State.

New york Delegation to Charleston

New York Delegation TO Charleston
The New York Express says there will be
two sets of Delegates from that State to the
Charleston Convention. The Hard faction
are determined to elect set under the Dis
trict system throughout the State to contest
the seats of the Delegation appointed by the
Convention This proceeding will intro
duce an element of discord that will, with
others, be like to break up the conciave for
the nomination OF President. tstE
The Express adds, that the Jacobin Club,
in Revolutionary Paris, in the worst days
of the Mountain could not have exhibited q
worse scene of Ruffianism, Violence, and
Terror than was presented in the Democrat
ic Convention, at Syracuse, yesterday
Prize fighters, the boxers and bruisers, the
champions of the Ring and the Cockpit,
were the ruling spirits. Firearms, as well
as Fists, were occasionally employed, and in
one instance one of the officers of the Con-
vention was knocked sprawling heels over
head from the platform The only won
der is, with such an aggregation of Ruffian-
ism, that actual murder and bloodshed are
not among the incidents of the day and the
night. .... 'rr... W.. ... tx.
etthese are the men,-the Benicia
Boys, that nowadays not only make
State governments" but Judges Cover
nors, and Presidents of the United States,
event -.
There were a great many fancy ,comen as
well as fancy men, from New York, in at
tendance on or about the convention. A
correspondent says the object of these
women in visiting this place must not be
misunderstood. 1t is political, and only po-
litical. They have great influence over the
runners of the machine, and their influence
on the spot, is often of the greatest import
ance. The Charleston delegates appointed
by the Convention are said to be Douglas
men; there was a report, however, that
Guthrie, of Kentucky, was favorite among
many of them, as a man of wealth, who
could be bled freely in the canvass. Both
factions in the Convention made separate
nominations of the same ticket for State
officers.

sa~ The small knot of demagogues who

ht1s The small Knot OF demagOgues WIZ
dispense the official emoluments and honors
of Perry county, devote the space OF the last
number of their feeble organ to this paper
and its editor; not for the purpose of re-
futing any fact stated by us, but to impeach
the motives for making the charges. They
are endeavoring to cover up the unpleasant
facts by personal controversy on side is
sues. This is a stale trick with small poll
ticians. We apprehend the public care
nothing about the personal motives of wit
ness for stating facts, so long as he states
nothing but the truth, when called upon to
testify.
Instead of going back nine and ten years
into private transactions to seek for motives
for making disclosures, it would have been
far easier and more proper to meet recent
charges, if false, by direct proof, especially
when they have the only witness with a
full knowledge of all the circumstances
to whom we have appealed-within their
own circle, ready to testify. Though every
allegation of the clique is false, supposing
we admit what they charge the sake of
argument-that because we suffered a pecu-
mary loss by Shoemakers conduct nine
years ago, we have since declared we would
pursue him personally and politically with
hatred and oppoSition,-does it prove that
the charges made by a respectable CORES
pendent, from facts communicated to him
10y one of their own number, are falsely
stated in the paper. Does it disprove the
fact that Shoemaker is an impoSter,-that
he was nominated by trick-elected by
vile arts-is incapable of making decent
speech or writing a simple address to his
cOnstituents-that he employed others to
write his papers for him, and was so ineffa-
bly, mean and sordid that he has never paid
the cost of the manual labor and material
to say nothing of the use of brains and con-
science-in producing his bogus addresses.
1t would be well for them to dispose of the
facts charged, and leave the motives for
publishing them-which is a small matter
in the discussion of this kind-for an after
consideration. We again appeal to their
own associates to prove our statements, and
we challenge them to call Mr.. Maynard up
on the stand We shall not burthen our
columns any further with discussion; we
shall publish what we have to say on the
matter in another form, in which we will
endeavOr to exhibit them in truthful colors.
1t will be difficult to convince people out
of Perry county, of the inscriptions character
of the men who have gained temporary
political ascendaHcy there. We prefer
therefore, to address ourselves directly, and
exclusively to the voters of that county, in
a form that shall bring our statements home
to every citizens door. ---ns-. A-. ca

Great Eastern may enter. in order to visit
the monster ship. The railroads are pre-
pairing to run excursion trains through to
the place of her arrival, at half fare. APP
plications for tickets on these trains are al
ready very numerous, and there are indica-
tons that visitors will go in crowds from
all parts of the country, even from its ex-
IRENE borders, to see her. We are Informed
that the fare over the roads from this
point TO the Atlantic will be about
S25; from Cincinnati, at $50 for the
round trip. These moderate prices will in
duce thousands to improve the occa-
sion to see the Eastern cities.
