MURDER AT LITTLE FALLS.
Full Particularly.

LITTLE FALLS, MIMI, July I'd, 1866.
EDITOR DEMocaAr.-You have doubtless
learned something Of the atrocious murder,
which occurred at this place on the night
Of the 18th ult. - 49,
The victim was Daniel Burman, dis
charged soldier. Before he enlisted, he
made his home at Crow Wing, and has been
in this section Of The country about seven
teen years. On the morning Of the Goth,
he did not make his appearance as usual.
and suspicious were raised about eight
o'clock that something might be wrong
with him, and three or four citizens exam
ined the premises. The doors were found
fastened, but one back window was up a
little. The body was found in the store
room, lying partly on the right side. A
c,rone, >. jury was at once called, but moth
Ing definite as to who committed the crime
was obtained. Suspicion, however, rested
strongly on half breed by the name Of
Joseph Roy and two Indians that came in
to town in the evening before the muir 1ez
was committed. This Roy was called on
US witness before the jury, on account
of his claiming to be well posted Us to who
committed the deed, but upon being sharp
ly questioned he became considerably ex-
cited and made several conflicting state
ments, whereupon he was. taken into Gus
tody, with Ole of the Indians who came to
town with him. The other Indian could
not be found about the place, but the one
taken was 80 drunk that nothing could be
obtained from him. So matters rested
until evening, when eight men came down
from Crow Wing, six Of them half-breeds,
who, hearing Of the murder, came to assist
in ferret;ng out the murderer. AS soon rs
they arrived, several Of them, with some
of our men, went to the Sheriff's house to
see that Roy, the prisoner, was secure
They found him there all right, but he soon
stepped to the door and made good his es-
cape. As yet, no trace has been found Of
him. -.- s.-.@ ..~ =. t~s-~
All night vas spent in searching for fur
Their information. One Of the Indians that
was with Roy, was found during the night.
He had got little sober, and stated that
Roy and the other Indian were the guilty
parties-he being innocent, as q natural
consequence. The ether Indian was found
ut Crow Wing the next day. He made fur
Their Acknowledgements, fastening the crime
definitely upon himself and Roy. He went
into the saloon with Roy, who knocked
Burman down with rock. md then stab
bed him to the heart with large knife.

AN IMPORTANT NATTER.

While there are some who through mere
ly personal motives and to crafty personal
ill-fecling are attempting to prejudice the
people against the member from this Dis
trict, Hon. |. Donnelly, yet that gentle
mans acts and labors in Congress are in
dnitely more convincing in his favor than
arc the mere complainings of chronic fault
finders. We may say that scarcely any
measure has been proposed before Con-
gross this session, involving i more neces-
sary act Of justice, than does the Resolu-
ton printed below. 1t was offered by Mr..
Donnclly on the ed of June, read twice,
referred to the Committee on Public Lands
and ordered to be printed. Hundreds Of
soldiers have, through the c"pidity, negli-
gence or indifference of agents been de-
frauled of all benefits accruing to them un'
3sr the Homestead Law. This resolution
offered by Mr.. Donnelly would, if PASSED,
right great wrong.

The Howard Amendments.

We publish on the first page of to-day s
Journal a most admirable letter of ex-Gov-
ernor Swain, President of the University
of the State, addressed to Governor Perry,
of South Carolina, upon the subject of the
proposed constitutional amendment. 1t
will be seen that this gentleman takes
strong ground against the amendment, and
we regard his letter as among the best at
tacks which have been made against this
congressional iniquity. It is characterized
by sound judgment, good sense and lofty
patriotism, and strikes at the amendment
from different standpoint from any of
the other distinguished gentlemen who
have made their opinions public. Cover
nor Swain in the letter before us, takes q
more practical view of this vexed question
than others, and his illustrations are strik.
