HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. = We have
received the particulars of horrible
tragedy, which occurred a few days
since in Caldwell County, KY. Mr.
Alexander, man sixty years of age,
had been married twice, and some
time since had separated from his
wife, afterwards living with her again.
After returning to his.wife the second
time, she persistently demanded that
the marriage ceremony should beper-
formed the second time. For a con-
siderable time these old folks lived to-
gether very disagreeably, when at last
one day, while a son of Mr.. A. was in
the barn at work, he heard a pistol
fire. Proceeding Immediately to the
house, he discovered that his father
was lying dead on the floor, two shots
having taken effect. Upon the APP
pearance of the son the wife instantly
fred upon him, the ball taking effect
in the hand, but doing no serious
damage. The son FASTENED to neigh
boris house to procure assistance, and
upon his return with a party, they
beheld the wife lying dead in theyard,
she having taken her own life. Truly,
we live in tragic age.

SPEAKING AT PRINCEToN.-We are
informed that General Harrow, of
this city, will speak at the Court
House at Princeton on Monday next,
on the various political topics of the
day. We have no doubt the people
will be gratifed to hear the General.
The citizens of Gibson may look out
for an able defense of the principles
of the Union party, and truthful
exposure of the bogus principles Of
the Confederate Copperhead Democ-
racy. We hope he will have a large
audience to hear him speak.

PERsoNAL.-It afforded us real
pleasure to take by the hand last
evening and feel the feryent grasp of
that gallant soldier and true gentle
man, Gen. Nat. Kimball. Five years
ago we saw him daily as he was or
ganizing the old 18th, one of the best
regiments the State of Indiana sent
to do battle for the Union. We wit
messed his energetic efforts in prepar-
ing his men to do honor to the cause
they had espoused, and heard his
thrilling appeals to their patriotism
and their heroism, and we felt assured
that he and the gallant band he led to
the field would do honor to them
selves and to the State they represent
ed. And we were not mistaken.
Cheat Mountain, Green Briar, Win
chester, Malvern Hill, Antietam, and
more than score of other well fought
fields are monuments to their valor
and their patriotism. Indiana was
honored in her sons, and now she
proposes to honor one of her brayest
and best. Gen. Nathan Kimball is
household word in Indiana, and her
loyal people will remember his sacri-
fees, his endurance, his patriot
ism and his successes at the ides of
| October. .Hr e
We we're also pleased to meet Col.
Allen, of Vincennes, Gen. Veatch, of
Spencer, Col McIntife, Capt. St.
Clair, and divers other notables
who have done their country signal

was discovered that young lad about
six or eight years old, had been forg-
ing checks on Mr.. A. Gumberts for
small amounts Of money, for which
he was arrested. The circumstance,
as related to us, is about as follows
\ Mr.. G. has in his employ, at his ware
house on Fourth Street, man by the
name of Wise. Mr.. W. is in the habit
of giving checks on Mr.. G. for such
articles as he purchases at the ware
house, which are paid at the Office of
Lowenthal & Co. A few days since q
} small check was brought to the Office
by the boy referred to, and paid by Mr.
) G.'s son, he not being familiar with
the hand writing Of Mr.. W. Yester-
day morning the boy, whose parent;
are highly respectable, brought anoth
er suspicious check, which was paid
but the boy detained until Mr.. Wise
could be sent for, when it was prov
] en- that the check was forgery. The
Marshal arrested the boy, who de
clared that he had the check from
another boy,-whose parents art
quite respectable, and whose name VIZ
I, suppress for that consideration. TIL,
t second was sent for, and asked tt
: write Mr. Wise's name. He did so
and on comparison it was readily as
'. certained that the second boy was tn,
!. forger. He was taken Tito custod,
! and brought before his parents. w,

t prosecution, but hoped parental in

him in his course to ruin, which wa
perhaps the best course to pursue

C0TT0y-Business has been partially and almost
wholly suspended in the market ',oday, owing to
the ambiguous and discouraging character of
advces from Liverpool ana New York, received
by telegraph. There was considerable looking
around in the morning by parties who expected
to be able to operate upon their own terms, but,
as most factors had already covered up their sam
pies, offerings were light, and the movement was
restricted to barely 1000 bales, taken mostly in
small lots for filling up previous lists. Prices, as
may be inferred, have been irregular, and the
market has been unsettled throughout; but
although purchases have been made in some cases
at a considerable reduction upon previous figures,
yet it is impossible to obtain reliable, or
even closely approximatng rates, and we therefore
omit our regular statement Of quotations. The
total sales for the week amounted to Is $50 bales,
against 600 bales last week. and $50 bales the
week before. The net receipts aggregated 1926
bales, against 224O6 bales last week and
tl9870 bales the week before. The eX
ports footed up G LAG bales against 1892 bales laa
week and 10, ,443 bales the week before and the
stock on hand and on shipboard no
cleared this evening is 1873, 467 bales, agains
| 124 G5j bales last week and lOj,3l3 bales at IL
close Of the previous week. The exports durin,
the past week have been divided as follows, viz
500 bales for Liverpool, 55s8 bales for Boston, ant
503S bales for New York. .."

The movement in financial circles to-day has
disclosed no variation of any kind that calls for
snecal notice. The market was moderately sup
piled with Gold, but the demand was of a restrict
ed character throughout, and sales have been lin
tied to the following amounts viz: $500, $4,000
and 1000 at l47 5000, $4,000 and $4,000 at

600 do. at 147{. Sales of Silver included only
$4,000 American halves, at l43, and $4,000 MeXi-

FOREIGN ExCHANGE-Inactivty is still the most
prominent feature in the movement of Sterling and

and the demand is Of so restricted character
that it cannot be reported as much better than

advised in an authentic form to-day, were 925OO

A CURIOUS case of domestic civil war hi

A CURIOUS case of domestic civil war has
arisen in Allamakee Co., Iowa. The two
towns of Lansing and Waukon each claim
the right to be considered the seat of justice
of the County. The laws Of that State
allow the people to determine the place OF
their County seat every three years, provi-
dsd a properly signed petition to that effect
be presented to the Board Of Supervisors.
In accordance with this system, the voters
have declared for Wsukon once and for
Lansing thrice at as many elections Each
town has fine court house. In 1864,
Lansing again received majority of the
votes, but Waukon claimed 100 votes more
than were allowed her. After sundry legal
proceedings pro and con, fcrcib,e raid was
made few days ago by 40 armed men from
Waukon, determined to seize the County
records. By timing their arrival in the
night, they succeeded in their purpose. and
left the town before Lansing knew what
they were doing. Swift pursuit was, how
ever, organized, and, after spirited skir-
mish, Wauk IN was vanqu shed and the spcils
of war recaptured and borne back to Lam
sing in triumph. Waukon declares that
the end is not yet.

LAST WORDS.

The time for argument is past. The
time for action has come. All that now
remains to be done is to get out the vote
Let the friends of the country see to 1t
that no loyal man fails to vote, in any
township in the county. Examine the
poll books at two o'clock, aud send at
once for every legal voter whose name
does not appear as having voted up to
that hour. Send horses for those who re-
side at a distance, and send buggies for
those who are crippled or sick. Let
both parties in each township appoint a
Joint committee, composed of members
of both parties which committee shall re-
main at the polls all day, and see that
no illegal votes are polled on either side.
1t is the interest of both parties to see
that the ballot box is kept sacred from
illegal votes. II is pre-eminently i'm
portant to the welfare Of the whole
country that the laws be strictly obeyed
Let every Union man in Jackson coun-
ty consider himself a committee of one,
10 rally out the voters in his immediate
neighborhood. If this be done thor
oughly, we are sure of a most glorious
victory on next Tuesday.

We hope some one will come to jack
son on the night of the election from
every township in Jackson county, and
bring in the election returns as soon as
the tickets are counted. Come to the
American House, aud you and your
horse will be provided for. Let this be
attended to in every township. We
hope to receive all the returns by one
o'clock on Wednesday morning, so as
to be able to send a dispatch to the Gin
cinnati papers before they go to press
on Wednesday morning.
