ASSASSINATION OF a NORFOLK CoUNTY
FARMER.---We were informed on Saturday
Of one Of the vilest and most hell-coneeived
ohtrages, perpetrated IN Norfolk county.
that ithas been cur painful duty to record for
long time it is that of the cold blooded
murder Of Mr.. David P. Smith, an honest
and respectable farmer OF Norfolk county,
living in that neighborhcod known as Bear
Quarter. While Mr.. Smith was passing from
his dwelling to his kitchen, with lighted
candle in his hand, in the early part of
Thursday night, he was fired upon by some
person concealed about the premises, and
Immediately fell a corpse. The ball from
the weapon penetrated his right side and
passed through his body, causing instant
death. The assassin is at large and un-
known, although no light suspicion rests
upon certain parties who were known to be
at enmity with the deceased. Hanging is
too easy death for the fiend who would
commit such wanton crime, and we hope
that he will speedily be apprehended, and
twisted to death limb by limb.-NorJolk

reign Office here to-day, during which qneB-
tions involving the present and prospective

desire for the maintenance Of peaceful re-
1ations with all the Powers of the continent,
and renewed expressions for the continu-
ance Of the present friendly relations with
the Empire of France. NJ. Moustier re-
sponded in like manner, and held that
while his Imperial Majesty the Emperor
Napoleon and her Majesty Queen Victoria
Of England enjoyed the amicable relations
existing between the two countries, that
fact was of itself q guarantee of the future

stood to have been Of the most satisfactory

ter sharp fight, the French succeeded in

rebels.
PARIS, August The Etendard says that
at an interview between Lord Stanley and
Moustier, the most satisfactory assurances of

thus had of renewing the good understand
ing which has so long existed between the
Governments of Great Britain and France.

advices to July %. General Monagas, with
four thousand troops, is at Valencia, pre-
pairing to advance upon Puerto Cabello.
General Bruzual is gone to Maracaibo,
which place had not engaged in the late

the privilege of engaging in the coasting

chase, who arrived here last evening, pre-
sided to-day at the opening of the United
States Court for the District Of West Virgil
MIA. In his charge to the grand jury he
referred to the fourteenth article of the Con-
stitution, recently adopted, as being valid
and entitled to support. He said that in
order to suppress the rebellion it was neces-
sary to create large public debt, and that
debt must be paid. Under the fourteenth
article the faith Of the nation was pledged
to pay it. The Chief Justice therefore
charged the jury that it was their duty to
sec that the revenue laws, providing for the
payment of that debt, should be strictly en-
forced, and that the burden of the public
debt should, as far as possible, be equally
distributed among the people, and not paid
by Il few.
1t is understood here that the Chief JUS
ticc has expressed himself as decidedly in
favor Of the election of Grant and Colfax.

A MIDNIGHT TRAGEDY.-At the hour OF
midnight on Thursday a frightful tragedy
was enacted in the vicinity Of Twenty
fourth and Spruce streets. There stands at
the northwest corner of these thoroughtares
grocery store owned by Mrs. Elizabeth
Holt. At the hour named, a trio of burglars,
with rudely constructed implements, forced
open the side window-shutters and entered
the building. They ransacked the store for
valuables. They pulled out the money
drawer and carried it, as the evidence
showed, into the yard, where they quietly
examined and appropriated its contents.
These consisted of city warrant for S4l. 81
drawn to the order of Samuel Fulton, a
breastpin, lot of pennies, and one or two
due bills. Having pocketed these articles,
they took the drawer and placed it Oh
the walk opposite the front OF Mr.. Hollis
store. While in the building they tum-
bled over a box Of fre-crackers and
torpedoes, of which they took'a small sup
ply, and long, rusty sheath-knife, with
which they armed themselves. They had no
sooner left the place than the policeman, 60
ing his hourly round, discovered the foul
play. With others, he examined the build
ing, and had just solved the mystery, when
the sharp, ringing report OF gun was
heard in the immediate vicinity. Quickly
they hurried to the northwest corner OF
Twenty-fourth and Kent streets, where
there had gathered small knot of excited
citizens. They entered the yard of the
tavern occupied by christopher Dillon, and
there discovered the body of q man, warm,
but lifeless. The inmates of the house were
reused after great difficulty. From the
situation of the body in the yard 1t was
surmised that the shot had been fired from
the second history back window, and inquiries
to that fact were at once made. Theinmates.
one and all, denied any knowledge of the
affair, except from hearsay. Meanwhile,
word having been sent to the Fifth district
police station lieutenant Connolly, Ser
geant Jordan with detail Of men arrived
at the scene. Examining the lifeless and
rapidly -stifening body, the Sergeant recog-
nized it as that of one William Sweeney,
aged twenty-five years. The clothing on
the remains were examined, and there were
found in the pockets the warrant for S4l.3
and the breastpin that had been stolen from
the store Of Mrs. Holt. 1t was at once be-
lieyed, on the discovery of these articles,
that the deceased was one Of the trio OF
burglars that had been robbing the store.
Sergeant Jordan searched the house, and
found in the front room of the second story
q rife, still warm, which he concluded had
been the. weapon used. He directed the
arrest of John Harvey and Thomas Dillon,
the former an employee and the latter son
of the tavern proprietor. They are aged
eighteen and seventeen years respectively
Being taken to the station house, they
were RE- questioned about the shooting. Both
at first stoutly denied any knowledge OF
participation in it. Eyentnallys young
Dillon admitted to having fired the shot.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF BRADLEY, Ne
GRO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ON ELIGI-
BILITY.
ATLANTA, GA, August 10.-The Senate
received message from the Governor an
nouncing that he had received the resigna-
ton of Alpeoria Bradley (negro), senator
from the First district, and had ordered an
election to fill the vacancy.
Bradley was entitled to the floor this
morning to conclude his defence, but having
resigned Saturday evening, did not appear.
The President decided that as he had re-
signed, no further action need be had in
his case. On this an appeal was taken,
and the day spent discussing Bradley's eli
gibility, the Republicans asserting that IN
der Meade's Order No. 80 the question OF
eligibility was settled, and Bradley had O
right to resign. Mr.. Nunnally Democrat)
urged that the Senate alone had the right
to decide the eligibility Of its members
and read General Meade's order stating ex-
pressly that such power rested entirely
with the Senate.
Mr.. Higbec Republican, claimed that
the Senate had already acted on the matter
and it could not now be discussed.
Nunnally asserted that Hlgoee's point OF
order was not in order, because an appeal
from the decision Of the Chair was pending
and Nunnally's point was sustained.
Mr.. Hinton (Democrat argued in favor
of the appeal from the Chair, and cited the
case of General Shields, who was o foreigner
and rendered his resignation in the United
States Senate, but the Senate agreed with
Daniel Webster that Shields, not being eli
gible, could not resign.
Campbell (negro) got the floor, and thu
hour of adjournment having arrived, re
fused to give way until assured that hi
would have the floor tomorrow.
