4 Man Murdered by q Woman

"A respectable laflner nameQ
Budd, was shot and killed in
Accomac county, Va, on Friday
night of last week, bv a woman
named Mary Simpson, The
Norfolk "Day Book" says:
"She sent a small boy to his
house to request him to come to
her house, between eight and
nine o'clo' k at night, as she

business. He went according
to appointment but fearing that
all was not right, took a neigh>
Dor and bis little son with him.
He knocked at the door lightly,
when she asked who it was;
he said 1T is | whom you sent
for to day" The light in the
house was put out, the door
opened, and Immediately he
received the contents OF pistol
"a ball which proved after
wards TO have entered his liver.
The man started home, but fell
about fifty yards from his house
was carried home by his neigh
Dor, and died in about twenty
four hours. The woman who
is in Jail, is named Mary Simp-
son, and says she shot him for
breaking in her house but the
neighbor who accompanied Mr..
Budd, asserts that he on
ly knocked at the door gently,
and a small button on the inside
was not even bursted off. 1t
seems this Miss Simpson lived
by herself, on the land adjoining
alr. Budl, which was
owned by a man named
LilIeston, who, few days pre-
vious. had a difficulty with
Budt,I WHICH resulted in a
fight. On coIrt>day, last Mon
day, last Monday, this man,
FULLY Lilieston, went to the
jail to visit this woan. The ex-
element against him was so
great that he was prohibited
from going TO Jail again, and
suspicion that he was either the
person that shot Budd or insti-
gated it, soon spread, and it is
said if any one haI proposed it,
he would have been lynched."
AN intelligent eastern gen~
,leman, who has been travelling
the nothern states for
some time, in a letter to one of.
the editors Of the New York
Post, says: Illinois is going on
,reM. The farmers are paying
off the mortgages on the lands
in small sums,it is true;but near>
y all are reducing them. A |

Horrible Death Of Or. EIk.

tFSsatOsC uCTsu Va DtS k1sA'
On Tuesday morning, says
iHe Petersburg Press, we an
nounced TO our readers a pain
ffa4rumor that was afoat relative
tothe sudden and horrible death
Of DR.. Peyron A. Elk, Of Sus-
sex, and are panied to say that
tie report is only TOO true, The
particulars, as we CLEAN them
rpm a gentleman who is fresh
from the spot, are as follows -
On Friday evening, DR.. Elk,
who had been on visit from
home, returned, and, as was his
usualcrstom before retiring, told
atamale servant servant 10 hand
him a bottle.of paregoric. Fla.
yii!s taken a dose, he closed the
dor and locked it. The drug
had its usual effect upon his sys-
tenn, and the Doctor was soon in
yai-sssqn.t Sleep. A Jew minutes
alter nine O'Clock the bui ding
was discovered to be on fire in
siie. Two gentlemen Of The
neighborhood. who arrived first
at the scene conAagration, saw
through the window the form
Of the Doctor, attired in his
night dress, !ying motionlesS up
on the bed, the clothing of which
had not igni'ed; bowie knife
and revolver which he always
carried, were lying by his side.
The room was in flames, ard in
a few minutes the the he'd was
also wrapped in the deyouring
element. No eXerlions coHld
save the doomed man, if,as some
suppose, he was really alive at
the time. The building and
!, all its contents were DESTROYED,
md investigation al err the fire,
nothing remained Of the untor-
tunate Doctor, save a few char
red bones, his watch and gold
studs.
There are conflicting opinions
regarding the origin Of the fire.
There was considerable, dry Sod-
der in the ;o)m, and some think
that the blazing logs in the fire.

Doctor, most likely in that case,
suffocaled BY the smoke, which
account fcr his not awakening
some efforts to escape.
Others thinL; that The untortu-
nate man was murdered by a
negro who was seen proving
about the premises at nlght-Iall,
and who probably concealed
himself under the Doctors bed
un,ilihe latter feel asleep. Az
ter the commission of the fatal
deed, the tragedy was consum-
ated, and all proof destroyed by
setting fire TO the to the house
and escaping through the win
dow. The object Of such a crime
must hare been revenge and
booty. As it is, however, no
one has been yet suspected or
arrested.

HON. MR. SMITH IN LIMBO

We noticed some time ago that the Albemarle
'Southron,' know nothing paper published in Mr.
Smiths District, very in its structures
upon that gentleman's course in the late contest
for Speaker The Raleigh Register ventured to
demonstrate with its contemporary for such severity
and naughty conduct and the 'Southron replies
as follows:
"The Raleigh Register regrets that his cotem-
porary, the Albemarle Southron, has thought
proper to hold up to censure the Hon. W. n I'll.
Smith, whilst he was being voted for for the Speak
ership. awe feel very well assured" says the
Register, that if our contemporary had been con-
versant with all the circumstances attending that
most exciting occasion that far from censuring
it, the Southron would have approved of Mr.
Smiths conduct" The Register will allow us to
say that we were fully "conversant" with all the
mnutia of that memorable contest, and the article
we wrote in regard to Mr. Smiths course during
the ballotng for the Speakership referred to, was
written under full knowledge of all the circum-
stances so far as MIR Smith himself could throw
light upon it, and have not word to retract.
Mr. Smith may have acted in perfect concert
with the "South Americans" during the balloting
for Speaker, but that vast majority of American
Wings in the first Congressional District as assert
ed by the Register approves of his course in au-
thorizing Democrats to make statements in Con-
gress, that he did not and would not make himself
on the stump while he was candidate for Con-
gress, we know from our own personal knowledge,
not to be a fact. Whilst the selfsacrifcng patri-
otism of the Americans and their high regard for
our Representative Mr. Smith as man, may over
look his course they do not approve of it and they
regret that he felt it necessary to have authorized
such statements to be made and sent out to the
country.
Now, in conclusion, we would remind our cotem-
porary, the Register, of that adage which reads
thus "Those who live in glass houses should
mind how they throw stones" The Register has
assaled an old veteran in the Wing cause the Hon.
J. NJ. Morehead more vehemently than We have
Mr. Smith, and therefore think that lecture to
US comes with a very bad grace from our cotempo-
rary, and therefore would simply suggest to
our State Organ, that it would be as well for him
to attend to matters which more intimately con-
Germ him, and allow us to do the same without be-
ing dictated to-
Because Mr. Smith did not choose to bow the
knee to know nothlngism, he is condemned by one
of his own party papers. After this, it is time to
stop talking about the tyranny" of democrats and
democratic papers.

CONGRESS.

Little or nothing done in either House. The
House has adopted resolution to refer the Pacific
Railroad question to special committee of fifteen.
Another resolution was adopted, for select
committee of five to investigate whether the
President, or any other officer of the Government,
sought to interfere with the business of Congress
or defeat the execution of any law; or whether
money had been used for electioneering in Penn
sylvania, or elsewhere; under what authority this
was done; where the money came from, etc.
Mr. Reagan introduced resolution placing
s5,OO0,0OO at the disposal of the President, for
suppressing hostities on the Rio Grande. Referred
to the Military Committee.
In the Senate on the 9Th, Mr. Grimes, of Iowa,
gave notice of bill to reprocede the District of
Columbia to Maryland, and move the Capitol else
where. Mr. Browns Territorial resolutions were
debated

Touching Mr. Fillmore's opposition to the repeal OF

tal."-SaLisbury Watchman.
The above is pretty hard lick at the Hon. Geo.
E. Badger, the Watchman's party Elector for the
State at large. Our Salisbury neighbor considers
Mr. Badger ':jack- legged politician" for he as
sisted very materially in repeating the Missouri
Compromise, thus giving "virulence Of form and
magnify of proportions to the agitation of the
slavery question. For our part, we give Mr. Bad
ger credit for the part he took in having that
odious restriction repealed.

DFMocRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

II
We publish the proceedings of the Convention
of the democratic party, held in Raleigh on the
9Th and 9th inst The convention large and
enthusiastic, and good feeling prevailed. 90 coun-
ties were represented by 80 Delegates.
After full and free consultation, the Platform
was adopted rithout dissenting cote. 1t con-
tains plain declaration of principles, without
resortng to false charges against our opponents or
appealing to the prejudices of the people. 1t OPP
poses any disturbance of the State Constitution at
this time as premature, dangerous, impoiltic and
unjust The democratic party have heretofore
fought against unconstitutional measures and TIL
umphed, aud it will do SO again. A distribution
of the public lands was though to be popular
scheme 10y our opponents hence they advocated 1t;
but when the people came to understand the evil
tendencies of such an elcctOneering scheme, they
repudiared it, Therefore let one doubt the
success of the democratic party in the present con-
test-let every democrat do his duty, and work
for the success of his party, and he will find that
his taxes will be as low under democratic admin
istration as under an opposition one. When MIR
Pool the opposition candidate for Governor, was a
member of the Senate of North Carolina, he said,
under oath that the proposition to change the pre-
sent mode of taxation, called "ad valorem.' was
wrong-he voted against it-but now, as the OPP
position candidate for Governor, inspired with the
hope of defeating the democratic party, he profess
scs to think it right What consistency! But
we shall refer to this more at length hereafter.
1t will be seen by the list of delegates that while
the Convention had the presence and advice of
aged and experienced men like Bedford Brown,
Weldon n. Edwards, VIM. s. Ashe, and others,
it numbered among its members many Of the ener-
getic young men of the State, farmers, mechanics,
lawyers and doctors all determined to contend man
fully for the success of the democratic party in the
present contest.
Gov Ellis appeared before the Convention and
accepted the nomination. He made one of the
most forcible aud powerful speeches we have heard
in some time. He is ready for the and
does fear to meet the issues
