The Murder of Two brother

The Murder of Two Brothers.
The New Orleans Republican of Friday laat
says;-
We transfer this report from the Monroe Intel.
ligence':-We learn that on Wednesday last
a terrible tragedy occurred in Caldwell parish,
about six miles below Columbia. 1t
seems that three brothers, named James,
Henry and Thomas Duke, went to
young man named Cain to gel some eXpla-
nation relating to few remarks the latter was
stated to have made They found Cain splitting
rails in the woods, and after some conversation,
the tenor ofgwhich was unkno wn to our inform
ant, left for home.
Before getting away they met j. II. Cain,
father of the young man before mentioned,
when, after some words, the old man brought
his gun to bear on the three brothers Firing
one barrel he killed James Duke instantly, and
with the second wounded Henry Duke mortally.
The latter, after failing, drew pistol and fred
ut old Cain, but missed him. Thomas Duke
tried to get a pistol from one of his dead
brothers while old man Cain was Ieloading his
gun, but had to leave, as young Cain got after
hlm. On Thursday the two brothers James and
Henry were buried in one grave. Some citizens
an reported to have met old man Cam in the
weeds, but finding him heavily armed, concluded
not to arrest him. Another report ls given that
old man Cain would surrender himself to the
Sheriff when called on by that officer.

An UnauthenticRted RepOrt-HOrribIe
Outrages i'm Jefferson, Spencer and Bull

Special Despatch to The BVentto Telegraph.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 26.-There is no truth
in the report that Jay Gould has obtained con-
troll of the Louisville aud Nashville Railroad,
and that the guage will be changed. Gould and
other railroad men came to this city upon
invitation of Il. D. Newcomb, of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. The party left for
Cincinnati yesterday evening.
Last Wednesday negro man entered the
residence of Mrs. Haldeman and in the presence
of the whole family outraged her person.
The negro was captured the next day aud con-
fined in jail in Owenboro. Great indignation
prevailed among the citizens. 1t was thought
he would be taken from jail and hung.
Portions of Jefferson, Spencer, and Bullitt
counties have been for a long time infested by
band of robbers, who have committed many
depredations, the most fagrant of which was
the violation of number of negro girls short
time ago.
The citizens of that part of the country have
formed vigilance committees, and are warning
obnoxious persons TO leave Immediately, under
penalty of Condign punishment.

Discovery of a Terrible Murder.

Spectdt Despatch 10 me EUe'sta9 Telegraph
BUFFALO, Jan. 26.-One of our daily papers
contains the partial particulars of mysterious
affair 10 which later developments may show
that terrible murder has been committed.
About week ago trunk was received at one
of the express offices in this city, marked "to be
called for" Owing to the fact that very dis
agreeable smell was emitted from the box, and
no one having called for it, it was opened yes.
terday, and found to contain the body of
woman, badly mutiated. Just above the heart
a stab was discovered. There is much excite
ment here over the matter, and the police are
endeavoring to ascertain from whom and where
the trunk came from.

TEXAS.
Persecution of Union Men-DeplOrabIe
Condition of Affairs.

Oh AlIuIFSs
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial
writes from Sulphur Springs, Texas, January 3;
"a most terrible state of affairs exists in
Texas, especially In the northern and eastern
portions Of the State. Armed bands of banditti,
thieves, thieves cutthroats, and assassius infest
the country. They prowl around houses, they
call men out and shoot and hang them, they
attack travellers upon the roads they seem
almost everywhere present and ever intent upon
mischief You cannot pick up a paper without
reading OF murders, assessinations, and robbery
IN ITS nelghborhood; and, while the editors of
the Conseryauye Democratic papers denounce
the report OF the Committee on Lawlessness and
Crime made to the State Convention, their own
columns give the lie to their own denials Aud
yet not the fourth part of the truth is told; not
one act OF violence in ten is reported. Go
where you will, you will hear of fresh murders
and deeds of violence.
'The truth is there is no place in this State
where you or any other Northern man could
express yourself publicly with the freedom you
do in Ohio; there is scarcely road that you
could travel without being In danger of beng
robbed and murdered. And the houses that you
could enter without being insulted and abused
are 'lew and far between These Texans claim
that they have never been sublugated. The old
secession party has been revived, and arrogates
10 itself the right to control. BY the cold
blooded and heartless murder Of freedmen they
have overawed and cowed the loyal negroes
and by the reign of terror they have established
they have inundated large majority OF thC
loyal whites. How long shall we be compelled
to endure this condition of thingsE we look u
loyal Congress and to a loyal Northern popu.
lation for relief from our trials, troubles anC
perlls. We hope that presses like the CONNER
cidt Will espouse the cause OF suffering anS
prosecuted Union men In Texas.
