man by the name of Ezra Gray, while work
ing in his claim at Central Hill, in this
county, was shot by William Fox, and
died of his wounds the succeeding day. The
weapon used was double borreel shot gun,
loaded with buck shot. The circumstances
which led to the killing, as far as we have
been able to hear. are as follows: About
three years since Fox's wife deserted him,
and after living a short time with Gray.

whom Gray, not satisfied with having robbed
him Of his wife, tried to entice away from her
father. Failing in this, with the assistance
of his friends, he took her by force Since
then, reports have been in circulation that
Gray was guilty of improper intimacy with
the girl. The foul wr' ngs thus repeatedly
inflicted upon him gnawed like a canker in
his heart until he finally wreaked bis ven
geance upon the destroyer of his happiness

A Colored Minister on Social Equality.


Rev. Mr.. Butler, a colored minister,
addressed the Kentucky Colored Convention,
at Louisville, few days ago, as follows:
The future of this country depends not
so much on what party is in power, as 1t
does on the rem oval of all disabilities they
weigh down the people. Then, and not TIL
then, will the country have peace. We don
ask for social equality. | never saw that
white woman yet that looked as well IN my
eyes. as a good brown colored woman. And
IT it wasn't so, we don't need their social
equality, because our friends the white folks
have kindly managed it SO that we have
every shade to choose from, from the deep.
est !jes black to the purest white. Laughter
And, as there are no ladies present, allow
me to say that th's practice of social equalty
has not been on our side, but on the part OF
the whites, who in their dark and devious
ways, were not always able, let US charltably
suppose, TO tell black from white. This
social equality has not been sought by us,
but they have run alter us; and though we
are now emancipated and free, they haven't
stopped
[ A voice Well stop it when we get the
testimony
"Yes, that's SO. They better not come
my way, even now. We say to them, Let
us alone; we don't want any mixture If
they had let me alone, | might have known
what color l was; but as it is, my greatest
trouble is to keep my hairjust right. Don't
talk about social equality. If was white
man in Kentucy l would hide my head;
wouldn't mention it, with so many evidences
standing around of my social equality. We
don't want any more of it. Keet N your
side of the line, and we'll keep on our side,
and in the course of time we'll get back

PLANTATION BITTERs.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classes
of people for every symptom of Stomach out
of order"
The secret of it is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach set all
its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of the operations of Nature is always towards a
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonsible and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

THE FENIANs IN ENGLAND.-One of two
things must be true in respect to Fenianism
either it is a m 5vement far more powerful
and better organized than has been supposed,
or the Government precautions are as super.
huous as they are extraordinary. 1t is esti-
mated that 30, 900 special constables have
been sworn in London alone, and the process
goes on all over the Kingdom. The Home
Secretary, who avoids nothing so carefully as
a suspicion of the timidty and weakness of
his predecessor, the fearful Walpole, sends
circular to every town and city in the island,
exhorting them to beware of fconspiraces and
to swear in constables. The regulations show
that the force thus levied is meant to be kept
on foot through the winter. Troops and
ships-of- war are constantly in motion. The
Queens person is guarded as if she were an
Oriental despot, in hourly peril of assassina-
ton. Not only public buildings, but large
private manufactures of certain kinds, and
especially gas works, are watched with ex
treme vigilance. The floors Of the Govern
ment Offices in Whitehall and Westminster
are strewn with sand, and reservoirs of sand
are heaped up to sthe Greek fire which the
official mind sees ever ready to be shot out
from Fenian pirates on the Thames. Public
meetings are under the surveillance of an ex-
ira polio force. There is authority for saving
that the project of suspending the habeas
corpus has been discussed in Cabinet Council,
SO that England as well as Ireland may come
to enjoy the conveniences of martial law. If
Fenianism be the contemplate thing which
it has all along been declared, why does an
Imperial Government put in motion its most
powerful machinery, in order not to extirpate
it-nobody dreams of that-but check its out
breaks and secure the public safety Cor.
