did not want to have their plough boys

write they did very we'll as they were,
and if they were sent to school they might
have them turning round upon them-the

ENTHUSIASTICALLY is an on dit that the
Herald has been refused reidmission to
the Associated Press, from which, it will
be remembered, it declared its Intention
Of withdrawing six months ago. The
World opposed the application OF the
Herald to be admitted. Last week @ large
number of the employees Of the Herald
received notice that their services were
40 longer cquircd-amopg them messen-
ger boys, reporters, correspondents, and
editors. The expenses Of the establish
ment are thus reduced several hundred
dollars per week, which may enable the
Herald tokeeppace withits contemporaries
in the matter Of Geographic news. The
SIN will be published under the name OF
the Daily S1.1e, as a morning paper, by the
Evening Telegraph Association" which
has large capital, a great portion OF
which has been expended in the fitting up
of Tammany Hall as q newspaper office,
and in the purchase of the Sun establish
ment. BY purchasing the San the Asso-
citation became member Of the Associated
Press, which it is possible might not have
been accomplished otherwise. The paper
will, it is said, advocate the election OF
Geuerel Grant to the Presidency, re-
trenchment in Government expenses, and

HOMICIDE IN lYNCHEuRG.-Our COM
muuity vas startled Yesterday afternoon
by the killing Of Mr.. Il. A. Quinn BY Mr..
James Poole, who keeps grocery on
Main street between Sixth and Seventh.
The homicide occurred in the store Of the
latter, and the following facts relative to
the unfortunate affair are believed to be
correct: II seems that the deceased had
been applied to by Mrs. Poole for the set
dement, OF an account, and used very
atesivc language towards her. On two
% three occasions during the day he visit
ri the store of Mr.. Poole, and repeated
,ht, language both to Mrs. Poole and hel
husband. until on his last visit, about half
past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr.. Poole,
after warning him to leave his house and
cease his insults, finally became so exaS-
pcrltci at lis refusal to go, and the con-
3 tjnulrcc o. the abusive language towards
himself and wife, that he seized four
yo.ad weight and struck him two blows
ol HE lead, which fclled him to the floor
aud caused his death in a few minutes.
Dr.. Stcrtoe was called to see the wounded
man, but he brcathcd his last just as the
physician arrived.
It's not believed by any that Mr.. Poole's
attention was 10 commit murder, but al
vino know his pcaccable and remarkably
lao.Iru>iyc character are satisfied that The
homicide was wholly involuntary, and thai
lie desired only to punish the deceased FOL

From the Louisviile Courier
General =. ID. Buckner Receivers his
prOperey.

In 1861. while the Confederate army
| was at Bowling Green, the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company instituted q
suit, accompanied by an affidavit by its
president, Mr.. Guthrie, that General Buck
ncr had destroyed the splendid bridge
which spanned Green river, and alleged
that, he being in the rebel army, his pro-
perty was subject to attachment to cover
the damages. Under the shameful laws
enacted by the Legislature in 1861 the
| attachments were levied upon all his estate
in Kentucky, consisting of an elegant resi-
dence three stories high, with seventy
nine feet front of Sixth street, and run
ming through the entire square, with equal
front on Centre street; house and two
lots in EliZabethtown; farm Of some
hundreds Of acres, being his ancestral
home, in Hart county; and his library and
furniture, and large amount of other per-
sonal property. Without any process being
served upon him, verdict was obtained,
under the statutes then existing, OF more
than 100000. The residence and the farm
were sold by the Marshal, and purchased
by the railroad company, who paid for it
by giving General Buckner credit On
their Judgment. The personal property
was also sold, and the proceeds paid to the
railroad. By his parole General Buckner,
after the war, was not permitted to return
to Kentucky, but about six months ago,
by attorney, he filed pleading, in the ma
ture Of petition and answer, asking to be
made party to the suit, and alleging that
he did not destroy the bridge, but had he
done so he would be justified by the laws
Of war. A re-trial was ordered. Various
preliminary que stions were decided against
him. The objections were met by ad-
ditional preparation. After two argu-
ments the case was submitted for final
Judgment, but before the chancellor had
given his opinion the railroad company
agreed to surrender to General Buckner
his property, which they held, and on yes
terday Colonel r. W. Woolley, for Gene
raj Buckner, took possession of the Louis
vile estate, and is authorized to enter
upon the Hart County property. 1t was
also agreed that the question of rents and
profits due to General Buckner, and some
moneys expended by the railroad company
in removing liens and making improve
ments, should be referred for adjustment
to the commissioner OF the court, to report
the accounts between the parties, and
General Buckner agreed not to institute
subsequent suit for damages because of the
attachment.
There are many friends Of that distin-
guished gentleman who will rejoice to learn
that he has recovered his estate, and every
lover Of good government will rejoice that
not only have the spoliations under the
shameful legislation of 1861 ceased in Ken
lucky, but that law and justice are now
administered not only to those at home,
but to exiles away.

Breaking mp Of the Ice-A Thrilling
Scene ON the River.


On Saturday afternoon O few minutes
after o'clock the ice in the river just
south of the bridge commenced a forward
movement southwark. The floating flakes,
however, damned up just below the steam
boat dock, and the water began to rise
rapidly. The ice at the foot of Ferry street
remained undisturbed until about half
past o'clock, when it began to move sud-
denly, breaking up Samuel Hills plank
bridge and making prisoners Of a lady
(whose name has not been ascertained) +,
and Of Mr.. Levi Darlington, the former
coming to this city, and the latter going to
West Troy. The lady screamed loudly
for assistance when she found herself float
ing down the river, and her cries attracted
the attention of Samuel Hill and Mr..
Ogden, who speedily launched skif and
started to rescue her. They succeeded in
reaching her on the floating ice in rear Of
Rousseau's planning mill, and brought her
ashore. Both gentlemen incurred great per-
sonal risk, and had an exceedingly narrow
escape. Their conduct is deserving of the
highest commentator. On being landed Oh
the shore, the young lady started immedi-
ately for her residence, and refused to give
her name. MIR. Darlington, who is copper
and tinsmtb, in the employ of Eddy s Co.,
corner of River and State streets, and who
resides in West Troy, was on his way home
at tho time. Finding himself floating down
the stream, he jumped from one piece Of
ico to another, and thus saved himself
until he reached point in the river oppo-
site the nail factory, where he was landed
on the east shore. On reaching terra frn,a
Mr.. Darlington found himself completely
exhausted. He proceeded to the steel
works, where he made known his adven-
ture, and where he found friends. They
placed him upon stretcher and conveyed
him to the residence of friend, on Fourth
street, where he imbibed pretty freely.
He finally wandered into the street, and
was arrested for drunkenness. He spent
The evening in the First Precinct station
house, and yesterday was released by JUS
tice Neary. His escape from drowning
was Of the most miraculous character.

Louisiana HccOnstrucllOnC convention.
NEW ORLEANS, January 3.-The Con-
vention day resumed the discussion of
Wicklffe's equality bill. After several
amendments had been offered and voted
down, the following substitute was offered
by Pinchback (colored) aud adopted:
"Article IL. All persons shall enjoy
equal rights and privileges while travelling
in the State in any conveyance of a
public character, and all business places,
or places carried on by charter, or
for which license is required by
State, parish, or municipal authority,
shall be deemed places of public cha
racter, and shall be open to the accommo-
dation and patronage of all persons with
out distinction or discrimination on ac-
count of race or COLOR
In reply to a communication from Go
vernon Flanders charging police jury
with official corruption, General Hancock
says this is case proper for judicial in
vestigation and determination, and it is
evident to him that the courts of justice
can afford adequate relief for the wrong
complained Of if proven. He concludes
not to remove the jury, as requested.

He will be back Monday.
General Howard will tomorrow trans
nit to General Grant reports from Gene
rails Ord, Gillem, Hancock, Candy, Scott,
and other officers, bearing upon the desti-
tuition, present and prospective, of the
southern States. The sudden fall in the
price of cotton, together with the failure
of crops, has produced great depression,
anxiety, and apprehension, and it is gene
rally believed there will be great suffering
for want of food in Louisiana, Mississippi,
and South Carolina, before the close of
winter, and that relief, in some shape,
must be afforded to prevent the anarchy
that many apprehend. General Howard
recommends that the attention oEthe Pre-
sident and Congress be called to the re-
port, with view to some thorough, prac-
tical mode of relief. 1t is suggested that
if fund could be established from which
employers might draw, on paying reasona-
BILE interest, it might afford temporary if
not permanent relief. General Candy
fayors relief through such fund or through
the issue of provisions, taking lien upon
crops for security. 1t is also recommended
by some prominent persons that loan of
thirty millions IN currency, TO be secured
by bonds and mortgages and other good
security, for the benefit of all States in
extreme need, be made. Generals Ord
and Hancock recommend the repairing OF
the levees of Mississippi By the Govern
ment. General Howard says certain poll
ticians have taken advantage of the suf-
rering in the regions where restitution
prevails to further their own interests, and
are trying to reduce the price of labor to
board merely, and thus get control of the
laborcrs. WALLACE.
