THE trial of Daniel Mcfarland for

THE trial of Daniel Mcfarland for
the killing of Albert d. Richardson in
New York, in the office of the Tribune,
in September last, was commenced in
the Recorders court in that city on
Monday the ftb instant. Perhaps no
trial ever occurred that excited more
general interest ii rouchout the country
and in New York, where all the partic-
ulars are known well, as well as the cir
cumstances of the homicide the subse-
qucnt marriage of Mrs Mcfarland to
Richardson on his deathbed the prom
inent part played in the affair by Rovs.
Frothingham, Henry Ward Beecher
and Horace Greeley, the proceedings
are watched with intense interest. The
work of impaneling jury was found
to be very difficult, and three days we're
passed before twelve men were found
who were considered sufficiently unbi
ased to be safely entrusted with the ovi-
dence
On Thursday the trial commenced in
earnest ; the evidence for the prosccu-
ton being merely recital of the well
K nown circumstances of the killing of
Richardson, being concluded early in
the day.

Bourbon has long felt the want of
public hall suitable for meetings and

piled. Mr.. James is finishing the hall
in his brick block, and, as he never
does anything by halves, we may soon
expect to have Il hall which will in er-
cry way be convenient and comfortable,
and an honor to the town. We hope
his liberality and enterprise will be re-
wardcd by ample returns in grcenbacks,
and the good will and encouragement of
his fellow-c citizens.

oner, opened the defense with an able
speech, which abounded in scathing
denunciations of the part taken in the
marriage ceremony by the Revs. Froth
insham and Beecher, and indicated the
line of defense. They proposed to show
that a persistent attempt had been made
by Richardson, in which others were
implicated who ought to be ashamed of
it, to ALLEVIATE the affections Of Mrs. Nc
Farland from her husband, and that,
half frenzied at the destruction of his
happiness, when the killing was done he
was in an irresponsible frame of min d.

Democratic County Conven-
ton.

The Democrats of Marshall county are
notified that their central committee haze
ordered that delegate convention be
held at Plymouth, on Saturday, June
18th, 1870, for the purpose of nomina-
ting candidates for the offices to be
filled at the next general election.
The number of delegate votes to
which each township in said county will
be entitled in said convention is based
upon the vote cast for governor in 1868,
and is as follows:

Radical Promises of Economy.

The Philadelphia fge says previous
to the contest which elevated General
GRANT to the Presidency, the radicals
proclaimed their determination to re-
duce the taxes Of the people, and the
expenses of the government, in mate
rial degree. In the Congress of 1868.
the appropriations for the approaching
fiscal year were cut down, and the esti-
mates for the following year reduced
with Il view to convincing the people
that the radical party was really in ear
nest in what they promised. At that
time TIE leading Democratic papers of
the country warned the people of the
cheat intended. They declared that
when the election was over. all the gaps
i'll the appropriation bill would be filled
by extra legislation. And what the
Democratic journals said then has been
verified by subsequent events. While
the appropriations called for less than
three hundred millions, the expcndi
lures reached, as charged by Mr. BECK
and not successfully contradicted, four
hundred millions of dollars. Deficiency
bills are being forced through congress,
in order to save the credit of the gov
eminent, while the taxes are still kept
upon war basis In this manner the
radicals show their ability to manage
the affairs of the country. 1t is no
wonder trade is weak and commerce
lettering, when such party is in the
ascendancy.
