Tho venerable SoLoN ROBINSON has Gre
ated a sensation in Jacksonville, Florida. lie is
charged with having murdered negro Re.
Gently he heard a noise at his front door. He
listened, and came TO the conclusion that the
noise was made by an auger IN the hands
Of a negro who intended to rob his house Ron.
ISsoS seized loaded shot gun mechanically.
lie advanced toward the door cautiously. He
listened attcntiyely. He saw several nugcr
holes. lie fired the gun without speak
ing a word A dead negro was the result.
On the following day RoHISsoS wrote an account
ofwhat had happened and communicated it Ito the
editor Of the Florida Union. The people Of Jack
sonville read what ROBINSON wrote. They came
to the conclusion that ROBINSON should have
warned the negro of, and that because he did not
do SO he committed murder. RoBISsoS has con-
fessed that he could not resist the inclination to
shoot.

Every Senator who is in favor of annexing a

They have had another crisis In Spain
This time it is simply Ministerial one. but one
that is suggestive of covps dttai and bloodshed
Admiral TorErE's dcsertion Of the Ministerial

and the Unionists are thrown overheard. A
bitter, relentless contest is sure to arise between
tho monarchical Unionists and the PAM party F;
and after the Spanish style, we are likely to hear
of a coup dGtat and dispersion of the Cortes by
PRIn's artillery. There can be no prolonged

The smuggling which is carried on in Flor
ida largely affects the revenue. 1t would not
prevent the smuggling il there were more cocc-
tors in that state, but it might be Of great ser.
vice to the interests Of the people If there were
more inspectors and some detectives inland on
the line ofthe rivers. After the smuggled goods
are landed on the coast they arc taken overland to
the rivers, and thence shipped direct to different
places in the United States. The subject Of this
smuggling was laid before the Prcsdcn, several
months ago, but probably he was so busily en-
gagged counting and contemplating his presents,
that his thoughts were diverted from the public
