EX-GOVERNOR MoREHEAD, OF KENTUCKY.
The New Orleans Crescent relates the fol-
lowing circumstances in connection with
the recent death Of Ex-Governor Morehesd,
Of Kentucky, at his plantation in Missis-
sippi :9a 49,
"There was something touching, and
even tragical, in the circumstances of Go
vernon Moorhead's death. The plantation
at which he died was g property which,
after the war, when nearly seventy years
Of age, by dint of cheerful and indomitable
energy, under difficulties which might have

stored from state Of wreck and devasta-
ton to a condition Of good order and pro-
ductiveness. he had made AZ unusually
fue crop the past season. His pecuniary
hopes, it seems, were dependent upon its
proceeds, and the bulk Of it was stored in
q treacherous Clubhouse. Called up in the
night by the announcement that the GIN
house had caught FIRE, he rushed forth to
behold the flames bursting through the roof.
He read in them the nothingness Of the
year's arduous labor and expenditure, with
the possible sequel Of bankruptcy and re-
NEEDLESS poverty. The shock killed him on
the spot.n itre grta r-s.5 s.

Special teleFrsm TO the Dispatch.
.st WASHINGTON, January 8. 1853. /
~ EArrival Of Mr.. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Voorhees,, member elect from Indiana
to the next Congress, has arrived here. His
election is not contested, as is generally
supposed. His opponent talked Of contest
ing, but did not give legal notice Of such
purpose.
e Commissioner of Tnte-nal Revenae.
The nomination Of Mr.. Cummings to be
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which is
vet before the Senate Committee on Finance,
is opposed by some who desire TO have the
matter 90 over until after the inaugu-
ration of General Grant as President, in
the hope that their favorite candidate for
commissioner will be selected. TT
The effort by these parties is therefore
to keep the pane Of Governor Cummings
hanging before the committee during the
remainder Of this session. They are not
willing to risk vote on the nomination by
the whole Senate lest Cummings be con-
frmed, for it is conceded that he has de-
cided strength among the senators.
It is reported tonight that the Senate
Finance Committee have agreed to report
adversely upon the nomination of Mr..
Cummings. WALLACE. !

doning power" etc., etc., etc.

stitution.

INNOCENT PERSONS DISCHARGED
know of no greater outrage than the arrest
of innocent persons upon felonious charge.
1t is wrong which cannot be righted.
The robbery of the express agent at Norfolk
last week resulted in several such arrests
persons suspected simply because they were
strangers to the police. The following from
the Tirgiraian refers to them:
" Mayors Court, MondGy.-When the
case of the Commonwealth against A. j..
Marye and W. FL. Harrison, who were ad-
mitted to bail on Friday last for their sp-
pearance to answer the charge Of completely
In the King robbery, was called up this
morning, John Gooae, Jr., Esq. said that he
had been retained as one Of the counsel to
represent the interests of the express COM
pany, and that he was instructed by the
officers Of the company to say that they had
no agency in making the arrest of these
parties; that they had no charge to make
against them, and no desire whatever to
prosecute them. Mr.. Goode said that, act
ing as the counsel for the company, he would
fall short of what he conceived to be his duty
in the premises if he did not declare pub
licly that, in his judgment, these young gen.
tlemen were entirely innocent Of the charge.
He had investigated the case thoroughly,
and was fully satisfied that there was not
the slightest ground Of suspicion against
them, and that they were as innocent ne his
Honor, himself, or any other man in tho
community. He had known the grand
father and father of Marye long and we'll,
and no young man in the country could
boast Of an ancestry who were moro highly
honored. As to the other gentleman, he
was told by those in whom he reposed the
utmost confidence that Mr.. Harrison was
universally respected by those who knew
him as q man of unimpeaohable honor and
integrity. While he believed that the Mayor
had acted from sense of duty in causing the
arrest of the parties, and had no other mo-
tive but to ferret out and bring to justice the
perpetrators of great crime, he was satls-
fed that his Honor had no desire to prose.
cute an innocent person, and that ne would
not only be willing but prompt to repair
as far as he could any wrong or injustice
that had been done.
The Mayor remarked that he concurred
fully in the expression Of regret on account
Of the arrest Of these parties, and that they
we're honorably discharged.
Two others, Messrs. ]. Loughlin and d.
Townsend, accused Of completely in the AZ
fair, we're also brought into court, and mo-
thing being brought in as evidence tending
to impiicste them In the slightest degree,
they were also honorably discharged.
