The CASE OF 'sJoHN TODD. 1T strikes us
! as, very singular that John Todd doesn't pay
his subscription. He hasn't paid one cent
since 1865. Todd stands well in his neighbor-
hood, sets up to be standard Of honesty, be-
longs to the church, and is really a good man.
How does he reconcile it to himself not to pay
his subscription? Of course, the Chronicle is
worth the money. > We like Todd, but we are
worried about his character, because he does
not pay his subscription. We heard him
speak slightingly OF neighbor the other day
because be was ''bad pay" Thinks we to
ourself, Oh, Todd 4lHu
Todd is small matter by himself in sab

Pressure or the Trial CT JeG. Davis
Renewed = Surratt's Trial = The
Day Fixed Governor Patton, Of
Alabama, in Washington. I

. WASHINGTON, May 1.-Governor
Patton, Of Alabama, arrived here to-
day, and this afternoon had an inter-
view with the President. q
Governor Patton, it will be. recol-
lected, declined to be party to the
application for an injunction against
the enforcement of the Reconstruc-
ton act.
The trial of John III. Surratt will
commence on the 9th of May, until
which time the Criminal Court has
adjourned. The time named has been
definitely fixed upon by the Court,
and the counsel for the prosecution
and for the prisoner.
The friends of JEFF. Davis have
been active to-day in his behalf. 1t is
taken for granted that the District
Court, which meets in Richmond on
Monday, will not try him; but the
President declines to make any pro-
misses until after, that fact is estab-
lished. 1t appears, however, that
Davis not only refused to ask for par
don, but he also declines to solicit
bail. The efforts for his release are
represented as voluntary, and wholly
unauthorized by him.

RESOLUTIONS OF STATE CONVENTION
Resolued, By the Union men Of

That we stand with the Union men oi
the country now. as we have stood
with them through four years of wal
for the preservation of the Govern
ment and those principles of freedom
and justice on which it was founded
Resolved. That secession is treason,
and that all who embarked in it only
enjoy immunities from the penalties
Of treason by reason Of the forbear-
ance OF the Government, and of the
Resolved. That we declare our oppo-
sitioni to the policy and projects
Of the rebel Democracy of Ken
lucky IN their effort to render
treason respectable at the expense of
the brave men who wore the blue, and
barred their bosoms to the battle in
defense of the Government In its dark
days of trial, and pledge ourselves to
front combat the spirit thus mani
tested by the solcalled Democracy"
In any shape it may assume.
Res0lred, That we believe in the
right Of the loyal people of the States,
through their representatives in both
Houses of Congress, to settle the
terms on which the disturbed rela-
tions of the rebeilious States to the
Union may be restored; and that in
common, with the Union men of the
whole country, we insist on such
terms as will make a speedy restora-
tion of the States lately in rebellion
to their former position in the Union,
compatible with the continued safety
OF the Republic, and the protection of
life, liberty, and property to all men.
ResolUed, That we pledge ourselves
to the support of the great Union
party of the United States. which has
declared itself opposed to the doc
trines of the rebel Democracy, and
we extend to all loyal men of al parts
of the land warm sympathy. and in
yite cordial cooperation, regardless
of all party names, in efforts TO place
the Government upon an enduring
basis, and one which will secure JUS
tice and protection to all its citizens,
and that will, in all time to come,
battle the secret hate or open hostil-
tiles of its enemies.
ResolUed, That we are the firm
friends Of system of general educa-
ton among the people of Kentucky,
and to that end will contribute all our
efforts to place it upon basis Of per-
manent usefulness.

Murder Of a Telegraph Operator
Crime-En EndeaV0rs of the Citizens
to Trace the Murderer-S5OO or.
fered for His Arrest.

MITCHELL, Ind. May 1.-The fol-
lowing are the particulars of the mur-
der of Mr.. j. S. Johns, the railroad
agent and telegraph operator at Cos
port: This morning, about half-past
O'Clock, when the northward- bound
freight train reached Gosport. the
conductor noticed that things wore
an unusually quiet appearance. and
was Surprised. as Mr.. Johns was al
ways there at that hour. On booking
in at the window the conductor saw a
dead man leaning against the wall
He Immediately broke the door open
and found it TO be Mr.. Johns. He
raised the alarm at once. The hoor
vas found covered with the blood
and brains Of the murdered man. He
bad evidently crawled across the room
to the wall, and placed himself In a
sitting position. His face had hor-
rible cash from the eye to the temple
and also one above the other eye. His
hands were covered with blood where
he had rubbed the blood from his
face8 There were no marks of a
struggle, as he was evidently knocked
senselesssat the. first blow. Tsfi
It is supposed that Mr.. Johns was
killed about 9 o. clock last night. He
was last seen about half past 8 at the
depot, attending to freight train, by
two or three citizens. A strange
man who was large; and looked sus-
.picious, was there helping him with
the freight. He, it is thought, COM
mitted the murder. Mr.. Johns was
struck in the back of the head with
some blunt acknowledgement to-
be coupling link or pin-and knock
ed senseless. The man then took the
keys and opened the safe, and abb
stracted from it and the person of Mr..
Johns about two hundred and sixty
dollars. There were thirty-fiye dol
lars in another pocket of the MUIR
dered man, which the murderer did
not get. The man, after committing
the deed, locked the depot and threw
away the key, which was found son,e
distance from the depot.
There is no clue to the murderer,
as yet. A mans tracks were found
and traced as far south as the bridge.
He walked on the ends of the tie
and left clots of blood from his boo5s
as he walked.
The citizens are thoroughly arouset
and are using all possible endeavors
to ferret out the murderer, and are so
incensed that they will not wait for .
trial.

NEW ORLEANS, May s2.-Advices
from Tampicos say that Gomez has
pronounced against Juarez, and is in
favor Of Ortega. fA+
Dates from Matomoras of the 2Sth
ult., say that news had reached Mon
terey on the 24th ult to the follow
ing effect: Porifrie Diaz occupies
part of the City of. Mexico. and has
his headquarters at the Convent of
Santa Domingo. Two squares of the
main plaza of the city is still defended
by the Imperialists: Gen: Tabort, at
the head of body of Imperialists,
had made another attempt to cut his
way out Of Queretaro. The Impe-
rialists at Queretaro were utterly In
starving condition. Gen. Guadarama,
who pursued and routed the Impe-
rial forces under Morquez, has re-
turned to Queretaro. The Liberal
troops at San Luis had been sent to
Queretaro. The Liberals are anxious
to end the struggle at Queretaro, and
are working energetically and success
fully to do So
The Times of this city publishes a
report received from private source,
which says that another battle has
been fought at Queretaro, resulting in
defeat to the demoralized Imperial
lists and the death of Miramon. Af-
ter the fight Queretaro was occupied
by the Liberals.
Maximilian cannot be found any,
where, and it is supposed that he
has secretly fed. This confirms the
report that Diaz defeated Miramon,
and that the Liberals were complete
masters of the situation.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Senor Ro-
nero, the Mexican Minister, received
to-day the follow ing telegram from
the Mexican consul at New Orleans:
New ORLEANS, April 80.
" NJ Romero, Washington:
Miramon is dead. The Imperial
forces have disbanded. Marquese is
completely defeated. Queretaro is
taken Maximilian is hidden.
