Andrew F. Byrd. so long and fhvorably known
10 the citizens Of Pierce and adjoining counties,
came to his death on Thursday night, 22d instant,
from wound inflicted BY pistol shot fred BY
J. B. Bates, on the 2lst inst.
The lamented dead was born In Green county,
in the State Of Ohio, and resided there till about
Eve years Of age; since which he has resided in
the States Of Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin,
and in Washington Territory. In each Of these
places Of abode numerous friends still live to
mourn his untimelY death, and to shed tear Of
sympathy with his bereaved relatives. ;
Mr.. Byrd crossed the Plains in the summer Of
1861, and came to this county In March, 1868,
and has been resident here ever since till the
time Of bis death. He has always enjoyed Tho
esteem and confidence Of the people Of the county,
and has been offered at different times almost
every position Of honor, profit, and trust within
their gin, but never accepted public position
until July, 1861, at which time his friends forced
upon him the Office Of County Commissioner
This position be has filed with credit to himself
and benefit 10 hrs county. His term had not e&.
pired, and his untimely death therefore leaves
the OticS vacant ...... ... ...r..
Since he settled among us the deceased has
contributed largely toward the improvements Of
the county. A 6nS saw mill and Touring mill
now stand ct his late place Of abode, monuments
Of his industry and enterprise, to nOurniGlly re-
mind US Of the departed dead.
There Is hardly citizen Of the county who,
ct different times, has not received hospitality,
kindness and assistance ct bis hands; aye, even
bic murderer has been the recipient Of his gener.
Gus bounty. He was dutiful son, kind and
generous brother, . devoted husband, and an
adsctionats lathen He leaves behind him, to
mourn bis loss, On aged mother, who has resided
with him since be has been amongst us, and
whose declining years have been tenderlY cared
for BY him; also sister and six brothers, and .
fond, inconsOable wife and three innocent little
children. But these are not the only mourners;
al the citizens oi heart and worth in the county
mourn with them. He was The true friend Of
every man who meFiled bis friendship. sr.
Never, since bis residence amongst %, has The
deceased been known 70 carry deadly weapon.

Amid the excitement and confusion consequent
upon the murder Of the iamented Andrew r.
Byrd, added to the short interval between that
event and the issue Of our paper Of the 22d inst,
Il was almost impossible to make up q correct
circumstantiAl account Of the sad affair. As
usual on such occasions, there was variety ol
versions, no two Of which could be reeonciled
with strict regard to truth. With the prefa.
tory remark that the event originated in an ut.
terly unfOunded charge, b. Bates, that Byrd had
killed his CBatessl CATTLE we proceed to give the
facts attending the murder:
1t seems that Bates several days before the
commission Of the act, made threats indicative
Of bis purpose, but they we're unheeded for the
reason that he was not thought capable Of per.
petrating 30 great crime. Unhsppily he was
too seriously in earnest For nearly three days,
from early morn Of each day. he patiently awaited
the coming Of bis victim In the Post Office, which
place he knew Byrd visited every time be came

day, 2lst inst, Mr.. Byrd, as was his won't al
unsuspiciOus Of = lurking foe, lying in wait for
his lie, entered the Post Ofice; but scarcely

Robert Purvis, colorcd delegate from
this State to the American anti-Slavery
Society, which met in New York on
Thursday of last week, made speech
before the Society in which he stated that
"The Loyal Leagues were all anti Slavery
Societies. (Cheers.) Rev. DR.. Checver,
Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison, Fred.

persons were present and participated in
the exercises. A series Of resolutions

that the Constitution of the United States

In this emergency the President felt il
his duty to employ with energy the extra
ordinary powers which the Constitution
confdcs to him 10 cases of iusurrection. -
He called into the field such military and
naval forces unauthorized by the existing
laws, as seemed necessary. lie directed
measures to prevent the use Of the post
Office for reasonable correspondence, He
subjected passengers to and from foreign
countries to new passport regulation, and
he instituted a blockade, suspended the
writ Of haJeaS corpus in various places,
and caused persons who were represented
to him as being or about 10 engage in dis
loyal or reasonable practices to be arres-
ted by special civil as well as military
agencies, and detained in military custody,
when necessary, to prevent them and deter
others from such practices. Examinati ons
of such cases were Instituted, and some of
the persons so arrested have ben dis.
charged from time to time under circum.
stances or upon conditions compatible, as
was thought, with the public safety.
Meantime a favorable change of public
opinion has occurred. The line between
loyalty and disloyalty is. plainly defined ;
the whole structure of the Government is
firm and stable; apprchensions of public
| danger and facilities Of reasonable prac-
tees have diminished with the passions
which prompted needles persons to adopt
them. The insurrection is believed to
have eliminated, and to be declining,
The President, 10 view Of these facts
and anxious to favor return to the nor
NAL course of the Administration, as ia,
as regard for the public welfare will allow
directs that all political prisoners now
held in military custody be released OF

Extraordinary arrests will hereafter b,

Congress has by its recent Legislation

raised by the alleged conduct ond Language
of Mr.. Vallaudigham, and has thus made
provision fer the "emcrgcncy." The onl,
justification heretofore assigned for sucl

From the Natnal lntaigenccr 'ny2Ol
AS much confusion seems to prevail with
regard to the legal aspects of the arrest I,
trial, and conviction of Mr.. Vallandigham
on the charge Of giving aid and comfort
to the enemy, we thiuk it proper, in view
Of the interest attaching to this question,
considered as one of law rather than one
Of military caprice, to place distincly be-
fore our readers the points on which it
turns
The charge brought against Mr.. Valan-
digham was as follows
Publicly expressing,in violation of Cen
cral Order No. 3S, from Headquarters De.
partmcnt Of the Ohio, his sympathy for
those in arms against the Government of
the United States, declaring disloyal sen
timents and opinions, with the object and
purpose of weakening the power Of the
Government in its efforts to suppress an
unlawful rebelen.
The specification adduced by the judge
advocate in support Of this charge is in the
following terms
In this, that the said Clement i. Val
landigham, u citizen Of the State of Ohio
on or about the first day Of May, s63, at
Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio did
publicly address a large meeting oi citizens
and did utter sentiments, in words or in
effect as follows; Declaring the present
war "a wicked, cruel, and unnecessary
war;" "a war not being waged for the
preservation ofthc Union !" "awar for the
purpose of crushing out liberty and cree
ting dcspotism ;''"a war for the freedom
OF the blacks and the enslavement of the
whites !" stating "lhat ifthe Administra-
ton had so wished, the war could have
been honorably terminated months ago !;
that "peace might have been honorably
obtained by listening to the propos ed n-
termediation of France !" that "proposi
tons by which the Southern States cou'd
be won back, and the south be guaranteed
her rights under the Constitution, had
been rejected the day before the late bat
tie of fredericksburg, by Lincoln and his
minions," meaning hereby the Presiden
OF the United States and those under hiu
in authority charging "that the Gov
