The Desperate Douthit Again.


Our readers will remember that Antho-
ny Douthet, who was imprisoned at Win
chester, on the charge Of murder, made
his escape and was recaptured at Hunts
vile and brought to this city, and by or
der of the Governor placed in the Nash
vile jail Last week Judge Frazier, pre-
siding in the Winchester Circuit Court, by
interchange with Judge Hickerson, tele-
grsphed the Governor to have him sent
there for trial On Saturday last the case
was called. TheAttorneyGsneral announced
ready, but defendants counsel were not
ready st that time. The case was thereup-
on continued till next Colrt. The At
torney General moved the Court to trans
fer the prisoner to another jail, presenting
sffidavtts showing that the all at Winches-
ter was not sufficient for his safe keeping;
and also presenting to the Court an order
from Gov. Senter to Dir. Watson, the spe-
cial Deputy Sheriff who took him to Win
chester from Nashville, ordering that he
should be urned to the Nashville jail if
not tried. The defendants counsel resist
ed the motion of the Attorney General, on
the grounds that the Governor had no con-
troll of the prisoner. The Judge, however, de-
cided that ne should be returned to the
Nashville jail, saying at the time that he
made the order not upon the mandate OF
the Governor, but from the facts set forth
in the sffidavits, and because ne conSid-
cred the jail 1T Nashville perfectly safe,
and as convenient rs any other jail.
Douthit was accordingly turoed over to
Special Deputy Sheriff Watson, who
brought him back to this city and lodged
him in Jail, where he is now aud where he
is likely to remain until his trial comes of.

WASHINGTON, d. O., Aug. 10, 1871.
Synopsis for the past ta0eOty four hours
The barometer has risen at the Rocky
Mountain stations since Wednesday after
noon, and the high pressure which was
thsn over Ohio and Indiana ia now GER
trial over Maryland The barometer has
fallen somewhat to day in the Gulf and
South Atlantic States but continues rising
in the Middle and New England States.
The low pressure which was then advanc-
ing over Minnesota, is now confined to
q small isolated area in Wisconsin and
Northern Michigan, and the pressure is
now rising in Minnesota. Southerly winds
with cloudy weather are reported this after
noon from Louisiana TO North Carolina,
and rain has fallen to day from Tennessee
eastward. Brisk south winds with fair
weather is generally reported from Indiana
to Missouri, aud northward. Northwesterly
winds with clear and hszy weather has
prevailed in New England and New York.
Probabilities. The area of cloud and
rain in the Carolinns will probably begin
to might to extend Northwsrd, with Elst-
erly winds on the middle Atlantic coast,
and threatening weather on Friday.
Threatening weather will probably con-
tinue in New York. The pressure in Wis
consin will extend to Lake Huron, and
threatening weather aud low storms from
Ohio and Indiana. The barometer will
probably continue low in the Southern
and Gulf States, with numerous local rains
in the evening from Louisiana East to the
Atlantic.

The Hon. ", K Turner, Judge Of the
County Court, died at his residence in
North Nashville, yesterday, at ten minutes
past two o'clock. His condition for sever
al days past had been precautions, and the
sad event was not unexpected. Judge
Turner was native OF North Carolina, and
was in the 68th year of his age Previous
to his residence in Nashville, he practiced
Law in Montgomery county. end on one
occasion served as Attorney General for
the Olarksville district. He also,
at one time, represented Montgom-
ery County in the Legislature. At
later period he was elected by tire
Legislature Judge of the Criminal Court
for the district composed of Montgomery
and Davidson counties, and afer the pas
sage of the law electing judges by the peo-
pie, lie was again reelected. Previous to
his second election he became a resident
of Nashville, and by his dignifed bearing
on the bench, his great familiarity with the
law, and his faultless Judicial abilities, he
became at once great favorite with the
members of the bar, and was regarded by
one and all as among the very best Grim
insl Judges In the whole country. His
fame in this particular was not confined
alone to his own district, but throughout
the entire State, and was the theme of
conversation with the profession
in their travels eVerywhere, our
lawyers taking a delight 10 boast
of him as model Judge. About the
breaking out of the wsr, Judge Turner was
sgain honored with the position by the al
most unanimous vote ofthe people, and con-
timed to serve in that capacity until the
fall of Nashville, when he was displaced.
He then resumed the practice of his pro-
fession, which at once became lucrative.
For several years there was hardly an i'm
portant Grim nal case in which he was not
engaged. The constant and severe labors
devolving upon him at that period broke
him down, and immediately following a
lengthy argument in a murder trial, he
was stricken down with paraly sis, ard
for long time afterwards was confined 10
his bed. A yeer ago his friends brought
him out as a candidate for Judge of the
County court, to which position he was
elected. Since hat time he continued in
feeble health, until several days ago, he
had a second attack Of paralysis, and yes
terday his spirit took its flight. Before his
affection, there was not more genial gen.
| tleman to be found anywhere, and no man
in the community had larger circle Of
| friends than Judge Turner. He was &C.
PERTAINING in his conversation, and won
the hearts of all with whom he came in
contact. The deceased leaves a wife and
| only sister in this city to mourn his loss.
| He has also half brother in Robertson
county, ard many kindred elsewhere, who
will receive the intelligence of his death
with grief. Peace IT, his ashes!
