On Wednesday last, at about ka1f past eig ght,
as Mr. B. F. Hewes was driving up the street
with horse and cutter, when about mile south
Of the village Of Crete, i man jumped on the
back part Of the sleigh, and after riding nearly
a mile, drew pistol and shot 3Ir. r. in the
neck. Luckily for him, tic ball struck so low
down as to pass through the collars {doublcl
oftwo coats and fur tippet. The ball lodged
in his clothes, without penetrating the skin.
\ search was Instituted that night, but the
wunld-be murderer was not found until the
! next morning, when Mr.. Hcwes Identified one
Of the guests at the German Hotel in this
place as the sane fellow. He was arrested IT
once, and on searching him there were found

LAND GRANT ROADS.

Alr. Stevens, the chairman Of the Judicia-
y Committee in the House, has reported
against any compensation to railroad COM
panies WHO have received grants Of lands
from The General Government for carrying
troops and munitions of war.
There are some ten or twelve Of these
companies-the most prominent Of which
are the Illinois Central, the three trunk
roads in Iowa, the Lacrosse and 3E1wau-
kce, the Chicago s. Northwestern, the Han
nibal and ST. Joseph, and the Pacific Rail
road Of Missouri.
Whatever the companies themselves NAV
desire upon this subject, there will be but
one sentiment IN the public mind in relu-
tion to the justice Of the decision Of The
judiciary Committee. 1t is equitable and
right, and it was undoubtedly the intention
Of Congress to secure, free Of cost, the use
Of the roads named under any and all con.
tiDgcncies, and although this great contin
gency Of the present war was never con
temrlated, the takers Of those land grant:
ran the risk and must abide the issue.
The Government has right to dcterm
inc whether ii will assume the possession O
the Roads, OF whether it will agree Will
the managers Of the Roads, as meas
ure Of economy, 10 pay the aetna
cash expense in performing tbc scr
vice required by the Government. n,
presume there is no difficulty In the calfa,

Get cost Of running trim Of passenger
one hundred miles, without making any al
lowance for the use or the wear and tear q
the road and machinery and the positio,
the Government has assumed thus fa
seems to hare been, to take possession q
several roads, and to arrange with othc
roads upon which the service is occasiona
and not Of sufficient importance TO ru,
daily trains, TO pay them the amount i
money corresponding to the actual ex

Spicy CoFrespondence-An Indignant
QuaFfermaHter.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin is permitted
to publish extracts from correspondence, ii,
which Major D. H. Vinton, z. s. Quartcrmas-
ter at New York, figures conspicuously. q
Boston merchant addressed General Meigs,
and after giving some Of the ways in which
fraud vas pcrpetrated in tic manufacture Of
army goods, suggested that it would not be (,
bad idea for the Government to employ, in
looking up these things, some one acquainted
with the manufacture Of cloth in Ill its stages,
he also criticised the s'proposals' Of Major
Vinton as technically defective and liable to
abuse. The letter was thercupon sent to
Major Elnton, who, instead Of receiving the
suggestions kindly, wrote very surly letter
to the Bestoniap, and Informed him that he
had better mind his own business, he {the
Major) being competent to attend to his. The
merchant responded to this TRADE in civil
letter, pointing out wherein the proposals
were defective, and closing with demand 70,
III apology for the insulting letter. Receiving
no reply to this letter. he for~ardcd to Wash
ington charges against Major Vinton, whic1
were referred to the Judge Advocate Of tht
army, who decided that Major Tinton has
been guilty Of . breach Of: official duty AMI
rrorrivtE, and was liable to that charge. Ant
60 ,nds the final chapter Of the correspond
