THE KENTUCKY ELECrIoN.-The Louis
vile Courier is not ~disheartened by the
triumph of the confederate opposition in
the election of Gen. Coombs to the office
of Clerk of the Circuit Court. The editor
declares that the State can be carried 10y
ten thousand majority for Breckenridge
and Lane in November. Gen. Coombs
owes his election to his great personal
popularity throughout the State, and
the votes of the Douglasites, which of
course will not be given Bell and Ever.
EFT in the Presidential race.
The Lexington Statesman, in IN arti-
Gle on the election, says
Whatever may be the result of yes
terday's vote, we do not admit that Ken
lucky falls into the category of doubtful
States. We know that hundreds of firm
supporters of Breckenridge yesterday
voted for Combs, while, as far as the I'M
mediate facts around us disclose its
movements, the Douglas faction has
done its worst. Kentucky is certain for
Breckinridgein November by "a large
majority.
To our friends abroad we have to say
that nc ap~prehensiOns need be felt as to
the vote of Kentucky in November.
Mr.. breckenridge 'cH certainly receire the
rote Of hentnekg, and by not less than ten
thousand majority. He can't be beaten in
Kentucky. No fear need be entertained
on that score.

4 Tragic Affair.

y melancholy tragedy occurred in South
Reading, Mass, Friday evening, in which
three Irishmen were stabbed, one killed, and
another fatally wounded by an Englishman
named Henry Thompson. 1t seems that Mr..
Thompson, who rents the upper part of his
house TO an Ilish family, was disturbed by a
drunken Qualification after he had gone to
bed, when he started for a officer and was
pursued by three OF the Irishmen, who beat
him violently and made an attempt upon his
life, when he drew knife and stabbed the
whole party. One was stabbed in the neck.
the knife running downwards, and died in Il
few minutes-another was Stable in the alb
domen SO that his bowels protruded, land cam
not rccover-and the third one was stabbed
above the groin, and is dangerously wound
cd. Thompson gave himself up Saturday
morning and was arrai gned before trial
justice, where he plead not guilty to a charge
Of murder, and was committed to Jail to a.
wait the result of the injuries to the two
wounded men. Mr. Thompson is said to be
an exceedingly worthy man, peaceable and
well behaved, and it is believed he would not
have committed the deed had he not been
compelled to do it in self-defence. He is a
married man and has several children.

The Rhode Island Election.

After We were ready for press last week, a
telegram was received stating that Sprague
was elected governor Of Rhode Island al
their election on Wednesday, We made
room barely to make the announcement in
our paper, obliged to wait till this week be-
fore We could give particulars. 1t now APP
pears that William Sprague. white ashed
Democrat and rich calico printer, worth
some millions. has been elected governor by
about 1000 majority. 1t is said that the elcc-
ton has cost him and his immediate friends
500, 900; marketable votes costing $50 u
piece, showing a squandering of $4,000 for
votes alone.
The Republicans have for several years
been divided. The split was more extensive
than was known out of the state and aided
by large expenditure of money the Democ-
racv have won. But their triumph is mo-
mentarv. Next November little Rhody" is
as sure for the Republican nominee as is
New Hampshire The Republicans should
learn something by their defeat. Seth Pad
dletord, their candidate. was bitterly opposed
in convention and in canvass by some of his
own party.

to his feet, protested against the gentleman
crossing over to their side of the hall, and
shaking his fist in their faces. Others fol-
lowed Mr.. Pryors example, and at the same
time the Republicans backed up Mr.. Love
joy. The prospect now was for general
melee. The deputy sergeant at arms appear
ed but was requested to stand aside and keep
out of the way All were on their feet and
apparently ready for action, some urging on
the row, others aiming to calm the Storm
No blows, however were struck, and peace
was restored on the condition that Mr.. Love
JOY would either speak from his seat or from
the Clerks desk. Selecting the latter posi-
ton, the speaker continued in an eloquent
strain of bitter denunciation of slavery and
Shareholders, during which a running fire
was kept up against him by Southern gentle
men,

The ssCOncOrd Fight.''

In letter to the Boston Post, correcting
some Of its errors concerning himself and
The recent Concord Fight MIR. Frank b.
Sanborn states some additional facts of gen
eral interest:
You speak Of me as leading man of its,
meaning the Republican party, organization.
This is not true sometimes vote its ticket
but do not count myself as belonging to its
organization, and certainly cannot be called
leading member, since so far as can recol-
ect, have never held any Office or received
any nomination from it, or made any speech
es for it, or praised it in the public prints,
while have often attacked its policy in con-
versation, in speeches and in letters. Of
course prefer it infinitely to the Democratic
party, to which l formerly belonged, as did
my family.
You also say the United States Senate a.
doptcd tie usual course in such cases, sent
its officers, &c. Now the rufIians " no seized
and handcutfed me last Tuesday night in
my own front entry, where they had twice
gained admission by means of falsehood
and and forged letter, did not tell me they
were officers of the Senate, or read or prop.
erly show me any authority, nor did the per
son afterwards detected to be Carlton show
any authority whatever. He did show me a
pair Of handouts, the marks of which you
may still see on my wrists, but the paper
whatever it was, for could not read line
or see signature or seal, was in the hands
of Freeman, and was partly read by him, bu,
not so as to inform me Of any offense or the
authority under which they acted, or their
own names.
DO you mean to say that the manner of
my arrest was the usual and only judicial al
tentative? If so, fear the Senate may have
process against you for contempt, for Ger.
tainly that dignifed body never meant tc
have me arrested in the night, by fraud, and
with such brutality as is inflicted on murder
ers.
l have not to this day read the warrant o,
seen the signature of Mr.. Breckenridge o,
Mr.. McNair or the seal of the Senate, so as
to distinguish either, and for all know the

Democratic Despotisn in Concord.

Our readers will read with deep interest
and alarm the account which we give upon
our first page Of the attempt OF United States
officers to kidnap much esteemed and be-
loved citizen of Concord. Mass, on the night
of April Sd. No wonder that the revolution
ary blood of the old revolutionary town Of
Concord was brought almost to a boiling
heat. The only wonder is that under the ag
gravating circumstances, the ncishbors OF
Mr.. Sanborn. and the citizens Of the place.
Gid not use violence in rescung him from
the hands of these authorized rutans, but
the law abiding spirit of the people of the
old BAY State, prevented any such outbreak
they took bettef course, and let the law
liberate Mr.. Sanborn, which it did, and that
speedily.
The object of this secret. violent arrest of
Mr. Sanborn. was to get him away to Boston
and off to Washington Wednesday morning
before there was any chance for a rescue. or
even an appeal made 20 the courts. For
this cause these spies provled about
his house all the afternoon. gaining en-
trance twice in the evening By false preters-
es, but not finding the object Of their search
at home, waited sccreted till he returned
Then was the indiSni'y ard unnecessary Vi
cused or even suspected of cfinF-5u, SIM
ply witness. And had it not bee: for the
brave efforts of his sister, together with his
own, these mnions OF the slave power would
have accomplished ;heif object.
The question may be asked what was wan
ted of Mr. Sanboln, aud what was it expect
ed that he would testify to? We cannot
tell. 1t seems, however, that the Harper $
Ferry Investigating Committee, which is get
ting to be little better than 4 Spanish inqui
sition. expect-or make that pretensc-tiiat
he can give them some light in relation to
the John Brown raid How much informa-
ton ne coul,! give abou: this affair is not
known; bat Mr. Sanborn bases his resist
ance to the officers on denial Of the right
of the Senate to compel him to leave his
home and business to appear before them
and testify. And it WIS not his design to
di>obey the laws, bat simply to test the right
of the Senate to make such a requi>ition by
an appeal to the state courts. This seems
right and equitable.
Sanborn is a native Ct Hampton Falls, y.
H., about 30 Years old and graduate Of
Harvard college, where he stood foremost in
his class, and had an excellent reputation a,
scholar and a gentleman in literary circles
at Boston. He keeps aprisate school al

spect by his townsmen Of all classes and al
shades Of opinion. Mr.. Sauborn is very wei

much beloved for the purity and simpliclt.
OF his character. 1t is difficult to imagine ;
