MUIR DER OF DIR. KEITT.

We gave the substance of telegraphic
despatch, received u few days since, re-
specting the murder of DIR. keitt. The
particulars appended are from the Ocala
(Florida) Companion
con Sunday morning last our community
was thrown into state Of intense excite
ment by the announcement of the death Of
DIR. w. j. keitt, our Senator in the State
Legislature. lie had been living by himself
on his plantation, about three miles from
Ocala, and has been in i'll health for some
time past. Early in the morning one of his
servants, who had waited on him during his
illness, came into town and stated that rs
he went into his masters room to build q
fire, he found hin. lying on the floor dead.
At first it was supposed that he had died
suddenly from an affectation of the heart /;
but, on visiting his house, his body was
found bathed in blood, and his throat cut
from ear to ear. An inquest was soon held,
and it was found that he had been most
brutally murdered by one of his own me-
groes. The most positive evidence was
obtained against one of the negroes, and a
disposition was manifested to hang him at
once but. with the view Of obtaining proof
against others who are supposed to be i'm
plicated, he was brought to Jail, with three
others ON whom suspicion rests. The mat
ter is undergoing further investigation as
we 60 to press, and We are therefore unable
to give the result. sE
"Dr. Keitt was native of South Carroll
ma, and brother of Hon. l.. NJ. keitt,
representatives of that State. The deceased
moved to this State about six years ago,
and has go identified himself with her
interests as to render his death public
calamity"

| Yesterday afternoon, for the first time in
the annals Of the Police Court, there was a
scarcity of jurymen. The wet weather
exerted dampeniDg influence on the ''pro-

Marshal Ellis in making up q venire, was
compelled to place on it the name of Re-

tribes felt this mark of judicial favor, and
sat himself in the box with vast amount
OF complacency, undoubted with the assu-
rance that better juror or more disintested,
never arbitrated the fate of an individual
charged with hog stealing. He stroked his
beard he wears a beard-and glanced
around the Court room as if anxious for the
approving smiles of his friends, and then
settled into a quiet reverie, from which be

asking the reporter his name.
Now, this to the reporter was singular
query, inasmuch as the lawyer was a most
intimate acquaintance; but supposingit to
be one of those technicalities which the law
must needs enforce, the reporter ran his
hand through his hirsute adornments, and
said, after hemming once or twice by way Of
prelude, his name VAS.

These instruments Of investigating

IL the Courts have mot sullcient powsf to
inquire iuto crimes against The United
States, let such power By given By Law. A
defect in the laws in this respect cannot ius-
tify the Senate in usurping the funetiops of
the judiciary.
We know it will be urged that the pfo-

but to ascertain the guilt or ineocsnce .of

DEAR EDrroR Every western man will
be glad to learn that the Pacific Railroad
which has so long been regarded as an un-
approachable myth seems now to be in a
fair way of soon becoming an iron reality.
Col. Curtis has labored .indefatigably to
keep the ball in motion; ever keeping an eye
to the northern. route. He has had the
Indifference of careless members, and the
icalousies Of those advocating rival routes
to contend with all the time, but with an
energy, perseverance and pluck which do
him infinite credit, he has battled them all,
and will no doubt have the satisfaction of
seeing more complete measure OF success
crown his efforts during the present session
of Congress than ever before. The Speaker
win appoint a Pacific Railroad committee
probably this week, and the committee once
appointed, the business will be hurried along
rapidly, as the men who will compose it
have been getting it "cut and dried" in
good shape. The northern and southern
men cannot be brought to agree upon any
single route, and a compromise will be made,
the result Of which will be the building Of
two roads instead Of one. One will 60

and the other across northern Texas. The
United States is to furnish them o basis to
start on in the shape of lands and bonds to
the amount Of hundred million dollars
If the bill embracing these provisions can
be passed, (and there are strong reasons for
hoping that it can,) the work will be begun
in earnest and pushed on to early completion
by the best Railroad building talent the
country affords backed by an immense capi-
tai. Let the bill be passed, and there will be

A little affair happened the other day not
a thousand miles from this place, which is
too good to be lost. Mr.. A called on one
of our farmers and asked him the price Of
oats, and was informed that they were worth
thirty five cents per bushel. He agreed to
Day forty cents on condition that he should
be permitted to tramp them in the half
bushel. To secure the bargain he paid for
twelve bushels, and the next day took the
wagon land went after them. The farmer
filled the half bushel, utter which Mr.. A.
got in and gave them most vigorous tramp
ing, contracting their proportions considera-
bly. The farmer thereupon emptied the oats
into the bag without filling up the measure.

had complied with his par. of the agreement,
and as on evidence, told Mr.. A. after he had
measured the oats, he might tramp them all
