ARNELL AND THE SCHOOL FUND -

AhNEIL AND HE 'oChOOL tND.
The GAINESVILLE Patriot (RadicalD
says in its issue of Feb. II;
From the evidence adduced from D.
A. Davidson and Mr.. French, the we'll
known cotton factor, it would appear
that Mr.. Arnell had received another
$1,000 from Mr.. Rutter in 1867. The
first $4,000 was paid Mr.. Arnell in 1866,
upon the endorsed note, which had been
allowed to pass due date without pros
test, and an unsecured and worthless
note subsequently substituted therefor.
Mr.. French testifies that the 5000 he
had cognizan;e Of, came to pass in De-
cember, 1867, year subsequent to the
first transaction. So that it was $1,000
better, and the hand was duly called.
This second testimonial Of we are not
in error as to the two amounts) was to
be used as capital for banking purposes,
Davidson AMI others having obtained a
bank charter during the session of 1866
to be located at Columbia. The banking
business did not come off according to
programme, and our information is that
The charter was subsequently sold to GER
tain capitalists Of Maury county; or if
not sold, was placed in the market for
sale at high figure.
We are informed that Mr.. French
stated that DR.. Davidson told him ''Es
Davidson had Joined the Radical party
to make money out of it, that he only
paid half taxes on his cotton, and was
not assessed for internal revenue or in~
come tax at all, by reason Of certain Pc
culiar arrangements" This is nice
proceeding, all things considered and
if investigated and found true, will be
another weight added to the disgrace Of
the Republican party, of which we mods
estly claim to be an humble member.
1t is no justification to excuse one
wrong by another. Rutter's course, in
engineering through bill which was to
place the school fund in jeopardy, was
deeply censurable; but how much more
so, are those officials who aided him to
obtain this fund from its legitimate de-
pository in the Comptroller's hands, in
order that they might receive pecuniary
favors from the proceeds, amounting to
absolute corruption. Rutter's plan was
a good one, and he appears to have been
master of the situation. He knew his

SPEEDY RETRIBUTIoN.-We copy as fol
lows from the Galveston Meas of the
18th:
We published few days since the de-
tails of a most atrociOus murder, COM
mitted apparently without cause or rea-
SOD, on the person of Mrs Roach, one of
the most estimable ladies in the State,
while quietly seated in her own house in
the county of Austin. Such an Improve.
ked and unparalleled outrage aroused the
whole people of the section in which it
was committed, and every exertiOn was
made to detect the perpetratOr. ArumOr
reached here to-day that the inhuman
monster had been discovered in the pers
son of a young gentleman, respectfully
connected, who had been paying his ats
tsntiOns to the daughter Of the murdered
woman, who would not give her consent
to the visits Of the accused The report
goes en- to say that on the person of this
young gentleman, when taken into custo-
dy, was found cGpy of the Bulletin of
this city, which had been folded down
and the corner torn off, so that when the
paper was opened a hole OF considerable
size was found in the corner where the
paper was turned over. On the floor of
the room in which Mrs Roach was shot,
a piece of paper was picked up, scorched,
and discolored by powder, which pre-
cisely fitted to the torn place in the paper
found on the person of the prisoner, so
accurately did this piece adjust itself to
the opening, that when both pieces were
pasted down on third, that you could
read right on as if they had never been
separated. On this confirmation, which
must bs admitted was STRONG as proofs
of holy writ" the incensed and indignant
neighbors of the murdered woman took
the miscreant out and summsrily dis
posed of him by hanging him by the
neck. We have heard the name of the
unhappy man, but as the details are
mere matters of rumor, we suppress it
until further particulars come to light.
