sudden call to act as principal Of . aemi-
nary in Covington, KY, and was going to
occupy his new field Of duty right away"
He waited in Elkton on Tuesday; till friend
brought his baggage from North East, when
he departed from this town. In the mean
time the brother Of one Of the girls he had
been attempting the gay deceiver" with
was on the search Of the Professor" with
. revolver. On Monday last be got on his
track, and coming to Elkton, took the stage
to Lewisville, where the parents Of the I'M
grateful scamp (Daugherty) reside. The
young man, intent on aYengirg the insult
to his family, slightly disguised himself
and approached the house, where he saw
through window the |" Professor" CONVEX
sing with his mother. Stepping to the win
dow, he fred through the glass at his victim,
who at the moment lodged his head, and
the ball passed over him, lodging in the
wall. Dlugherty succeeded in escaping up
stairs before another shot was discharged,
and the avenger was induced by parties
who soon appeared on the ground to desist
from further efforts to ehoot his victim and
depart for home. If the reports that are in
circulation about him are but half true,
young Daugherty is one of the most inSa-
NOUS scamps that ever disgraced this or any
other community. The career of such
scoundrels is cut short by violent end
generally, and the pistol-shot which he has
30 narrowly escaped is but postponed for q
surer one Of some ayenger Of innocence in
the future.-CumberlGnd CUlidn.

ALMOST TRAGEpY.-A shooting affair
occurred at Lewisville, Pa, about eight
miles from this town, on Monday last,
which came near resulting tragically. The
following is brief statement Of the facts
in the case as correctly as we could gather
them: 1sL
A young " Professor" N. G. Daughsrty,
who has been teaching classical semi
nary at North East for perhaps Q yesr or
more, and who had succeeded in ingrati-
atipg himself into the good graccs of the
citizens of the town by his moral and ex-
emplary course, SO as to be a general favor
ite, was discovered to be abusing the conf
dence reposed in him in mos. outrageous
manner. His school was composed princi-
pally of young ladies, many Of them barely
in their teens, on several Of whom he had
been for some time past attempting toprac-
tice the arts Of the seduoer. He was dis
covered in his yillainy on Monday week,
however, and had notice to fiji without Q
moments hesitation If he valued his life;
and fly he did, across the fields, avoiding
the streets and highways till he rescued
Elkton. I
Here he represented that he had received

TIE SPANISH Mission AND CUBA PUR.
cBAsE.-Aprop6s of this Cuban question
some interesting facts, if true, calculated
to throw light upon Secretary Fish's policy,
have leaked out. The WAS hingtcn cotreA
spondcnt of the New York Herald says:
at seems Fish. though at first opposed
to war with Spain, has all along been in
favor Of the purchase of Cuba. His idea
has been that Cuba could be bought for g
good round sum, and that, after all, it would
be the cheapest way Of solving the diff
Guilty. To 60 10 war, he believed, would be
more expensive way Of obtaining posses
sion Of Cuba than to accomplish its pur-
chase by peaceful negotiation. With this
purpose before him, Fish induced President
Grant to throw Sickles overheard and to
pick up Sanford as the man for the Spanish
mission. Grant had promised Madrid to
Sickles Of that fact there is not the slight
est doubt, but Fish talked the matter over
with Grant, and finally got his endorsement
Of Sanford"

rived in this city, and taking suit Of
rooms on the corner of State and Madison
streets, announced himself through the

We have just heard Of an affair in Rusk

A young man by the name Of Colonel
Green, who is said to have been new set
tier in the county, left Henderson on Satur-
day. evening last, in state of intoxication,
for home. When he got about seven miles
from town, on the Marshall road, he stopped
at the Widow Griffin place, where a body
Of negroes were making crop, and or
dered his supper. While eating it ne was
seized by FIVE negroes, who tied his hands
behind him, and dragged him about half
mile and hung him. They treated him
very brutally, throwing him over the fences
as they reached them, bruising his face and
otherwise maltreating him. While he was
hanging they rolled back a log, dug a
trench, threw him in it before life was ex-
tinet, and then rolled the log back to its
former place. Two of the negroes were
preachers. The principal one engaged in
the murder Julius Jones) stood by with O
gun, directing the others, ana telling them
he would kill the first one that hinched.
The same negro went the next day to Hen
derson, preached sermon, end baptized
fourteen negroes.
Green is represented as refined, intelli-
gent, accomplished gentleman, but who oc-
casionally, unfortunately, got intoxicated.
His friends, missing him, it seems found his
horse at this plantation, and his hat at one
Of the cabins. On searching for him, they
traced his footsteps upon the route he had
been carried, and found a letter that had
dropped out of his pocket.
Five negroes were arrested, who confessed
the crime, and were taken to Henderson and
placed in Jail. This was or Monday. On
Tuesday night, about II o'clock, q mob went
TO the Jail, and hung every one Of them on
the public square fronting each side Of the
courthouse, the two preachers together.

s THE SAN JUAN TREATY.
Almost the entire executive session to-
day was consumed in discussing the San
Juan treaty, Garrett Davis speaking nearly
two hours in opposition to it. The debate
upon it will be resumed tomorrow.
CONTRIBUTIONS.
But few confrmstions were made by the
Senate to-day, and only those where there
WAS no contest.
PRESIDENTIAL AUDIENCE.
The President to-day was occupied du-
ring the early part Of the morning in
giving audience to an unusually large
number of senator's, each of whom seemed
anxious to put in last word or two before
the office mill should be finally closed. The
executive chamber was monopolized by
senator's for nearly two hours, when the
President directed the doors to be opened
for the reception Of general visitors. Quite
rush was made for the President, and
members Of Congress were obliged to trans
act their business within hearing Of visit
ors.
A LONGER SESSION OF THE SENATE
UNNECESSARY.
The President to-day stated to several
senators that so far as he was concerned he
did not desire the attendance of the Senate
longer than tomorrow, and that if there
were any nominations not acted upon, or
any vacancies, he could fill them in the ab-
sence of the Senate. It is understood he
has quite number of appointments which
he intends to make socn after the adjourn

wish to send to the senate in their present
state Of mind, lest they might not get a
favorable consideration. He hopes that

in more agreeable mood.
PROBABLE RE. EMPLOYMENT OF DIS.
MISSED CLERKS.
Secretary Boutwell,, Notwithstanding his
firm determination not to recede from his
action in discharging employees in his de-
partment, has found the same difficulties
which were encountered by his predeces-
sor5 whenever they attempted to reduce
the force. The pressure from members OF
| Congress and other influential officials on
the Secretary to secure the reinstatement
of discharged clerks Especially women) is
beyond all precedent, and it is thought
now that Mr.. Boutwell, will yield in some
cases, and restore to their positions several
of those who have been dismissed.

HEBREW PH1LANTHRoPY.-The Hebrews
have always been remarkable for their ex-
cellent system of charitable relief, in which
but one other religious body 1.-THE Quakers)
can rival them. No one ever saw He
brew beggar or q destitute Quaker, and
this is not owing to the absence of want
among them, but to their peculiar and tho
rough arrangements for taking care of their
poor. Each synagogue has committee,
com posed of the most respectable members,
whose business is to inquire into the condi-
ton of every Hebrew in their district, and
to afford assistance TO such as require it.
They act on the simple principle Of putting
the needy in situation to supply their
own wants, and do not encourage pauper-
ism. Work is furnished to such as cannot
get employment, and many Of the ,pedlera
and GLACIERS in our city have been set up
by them. The aged are pensioned, and the
disabled placed in Q hospital or furnished
