MAN KILLED. Last Thursday morning. a man narneJ
J. II. Kelly, who had for the past two months, beer
confined in the Jail for passing counterfeit money, was
killed by colored soldier, under the following eli.
| cumstances: Mr, Kelly asked and received permits
sion to visit the barber shop under guard He not
only visited the barber shop but the neghboring gro
Gerry, where he INDUCED in drink and feasted his
vision on game of rondo 1t would seem that the
guard was also fascinated with the sight of the game
from the fact that Mr. Kelly slipped out the back door
unperceived and got several minutes the start before
the guard missed him. Nothing daunted, the guard
took after him and got on his track, on Texas
street. just above the market house, ordered him to
halt which Kelly falling to obey was fred at by the
guard, without injury. Both kept on running the
guard loading his gun, which was soon accomplished
when he fred again with like result The race still
continued, the guard gaining on his prisoner and by
the time they reached the corner ofMaret and Travis
streets the guard close on him that the prisoner
stopped, turned around and surrendered himself The
guard at this time was trying to load bis gun, which
the deceased evidently saw, for he turned and ran
away again. the guard following and trying to load his
gun. He overlook him at the corner of the alley,
back Of our oiee, when the same scene was enacted
as above-tho guard not having his gun loaded Kelly
tried to make his escape again. This time he was
followed by the guard at a charge, who overtaking
him plunged the bayonet into him killing him almost
instantly. While we regret eedingy the occurrence
must be allowed to say that Mr. Kelly had nobody
to blame but himself, for in attempting to make lis
escape under the circumstances he made the issue
offering bis life as forfeit. st the time of the occur
renee great deal of excitement was manifested by
Our Citizens but as the circumstances attending it be-
came known matters became more quiet The guard
was arrested at tho time but woe

THE ATTORNEYS 0ArH.-We publish on the first
page Of this ISSUE the decision Of judge Trgg, Of
Tennessee, in relation to the test oath Of attorneys as
prescribed by the act Of congress. The length and
nature of the article will probably prevent, with the
exception Of our legal friends, most of our readers
from thorough pcrusa Of it. The Judge has decided
to admit the attorneys to practice in all the courts on
the ground tHshe law is unconstitutional, from the
fact that Tennessee has never seeded from the Union
And furthermore, that the only way in which indi
vidual member of the bar could be debarred, would
be the preterment of charges and the trial of each case
separately Our readers viii recollect that similar
case was tried in New Orleans court but the judge
declined giving decision until other courts had been
inaugurated in the south and furnished him precedent

m. Ee,ian excitement.

Whatever may be thoughto of the Fenian
project, lately made SO prominent by the
British government and the British jour
~naIists, no one can fail to relish the
Iudicrous- alarm into which Mr. John u
has fallen, or the ludicrous haste with
which he has followed the American pre-
cedents which a year ago he so loudly
denounced. John wen improves upon
American examples. While, in the midst
of our gigantic struggle with treason,
aDixie and "My Maryland were sung In
drawing rooms North and South, the Eng
lish government, at the first symptom of
disturbance in Ireland, falls incontinently
to suppressing "Arrah ma Pogue' at the
theatres, and arresting stray ballad-singers
on the streets. Two unfortunate music
mongers are now in the stern clutches of
the law for daring TO sing THE Green
above the Red" while a worshipper of the
MUSES. in Killarney, who was vending
The Stars aud Stripes for a ha' po'th
a copy has been arbitrarily arrested, and
is now paying the penalty of his crime in
close imprisonment. While IL govern
eminent permitted the existence, through
out the war, of the New York NeTS and
the Columbus Crisis, the British, before n
gun is fred, seize and suppress the Irish
People. And as for suspension of the
habeas corpus and arbitrary arrests, the
Anglo-Irish performances in that line
throw Stanton's into the shade. 1t Is
manifest that Mr.. Bull looks at these
things in a somewhat different light from
that of a year ago. 1t makes a good deal
of difference to him whose OK is gored.
Meantime, the English public do not
know whether to be terribly alarmed or
| immensely amused at Reinforcement. The
papers constantly feed the public with the
most astonishing stories about vessels be-
| ing on their way from this country loaded
witlrarms, pixies being manufactured blythe
| thousand in Ireland, documents implica-
| ting officials high in military and civil
| station. disaffection in the army, and SINH
lar e-xtravaganzas. Theyhave abandoned,
we believe, their sensation about a Fenian
privateer being on the high seas, burning
and destroying everything but the Lon
don Times consoles itself by the discovery
of a new horror. 1t announces that a san
culinary plot has been found "to write
down the nobility the aristocracy and the
landowners, and assassinate them all OF
the breaking out of the rebellion thai
the Duke of Leinster and others have
been specially named for assassination
and the manufacturers are to be called OF
to give material support to the Fenia1
cause under threats of determination anC
confiscation of their property If they re
fuse to do So" This is the latest pleasan
development with which the reliable
Times amuses its readers and, over hit
new horror, the English public are for
getting the presence of the cattle plagu,
and the approach of the cholera.
