colored folks was cleared away in one
latch.

The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle ha.
returns from the Southern ports to the
night of Jan. 81, and from the
figures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts of cotton for the seven days
have reached $50, 800 bales against LAG,
SS7 bales last week, 132, 5S5 bales the pre-.
vious week, and 139, 63l bales three weeks
since, making the total receipts since the
LIST of September, 1870, 2,198, 213 bales,
against l, $50, 500 bales for the same period
of 1869, showing an increase since Sept.
this year of 467, 7O4 bales. The exports
for the week ending same date reach a
total of 105, 1923 bales, of which 1921
were to Great Britain, and %, 696 to the
continent, while the stocks at all the ports
are $50, 612 bales. 1t will thus be seen
that compared with the corresponding
week of last season, there is an increase
in the exports this week Of 81, 157 bales,
while the stocks tonight are 1901 bales
more than they were at this time q year
ago. We extract from the Chronicle as
follows:

In the fall of 1868, there lived in the
county or Fentress a family consisting Of
the grandmother, Catharine Galloway, her
daughter Lucy, and her three children,
James, little b. and an infant few months
old. The women and the little boy b.
we're found dead in the house on the =
day of November, 1865. They
had been. killed from appearances the
day before. The little boy James
was also found in the house badly hurt,
but not dead. The infant was in the bed
unhurt. Calvin Logston, Jane Brown and
Elizs Brown were indicted in the Circuit
Court of Fentress county for the murder.
Loeston was tried at the February term,
1870, in Fentress county and found guilty
of murder in the first degree, and judg-
ment of death pronounced against him,
from which he appealed to the Supreme
Court @ Es-.z-.
On Friday last the prisoner was brought
before the court and the cause called for
trial No case during the present term OF
the court has elected so much interest up
on the part of the court and bar as that OF
Logston VS.. the State.
The prisoner is young man Of rather
good appearance, citizen of Kentucky.
He has been in Jail in this city about a
year. |.t-E EaEE EEs
]. d. Goodpasture appeared as counsel
for the prisoner, and requested the court,
in view of the importance of the case, to
sit in full bench upon his trial. Chief
Justice Nicholson responded, that in a
capital case the court thought 1t proper to
set in full bench, and they would do 80. We
do not recollect ever witnessing trial that
produced so marked an effect upon the
court and bar. There was not stir in the
court room; at the bar stood the prisoner,
whose life depended upon the result. The
court and counsel seemed to feel the re-
sponsibility resting upon them. There
was solemn earnestness in the proceed
ing.
The argument of the counsel for
the prisoner was able. He discussed
the questions of law arising upon
the record with great force and clearness.
The argument of the Attorney General in
behalf Of the State exhibited great ability,
candor and fairness.
There are many important questions
raised in the record, and the opinion Of
the Court in the case will be looked to
with interest by the profession. It will
probably be delivered this week, and con-
sidering the high legal attainments of the
Court, public sentiment will be satisfied
with that opipion

Severe Accident.

Late Monday evening, John Shelton
our efficient jailor, met with a very painful
accident. He was standing on Market
street, near Broad, talking with friend
and upon turning about to continue on up
street, he stepped into a circular coal sent
tie hole in the sidewalk, which had been
left open. He fell in, of course, and in his
passage struck with his whole weigh
against the sharp edge of the scuttle,
breaking one or more of his ribs, and 9th
erwiss hurting his side very severely. He
thinks, however, that he will not be con
fined TO his bed but few days, and hopes
to be ont again soon.
