RrownlOwism I'm Boone.
The troubles in Boone county are ere.
sting considerable excitement. A few
days ago the Circuit Judge ordered the
militia out for the purpose of protecting
his court, and kept them there during the
term. They are reported to have COM
mitted considerable depredations, and ats
tempted the assassination of one or two
prominent Democrats of that county.
The difficulties appear to have grown
out of differences between the Judge
and Sheriff, both of whom are Republi-
cans. The latter was deposed by the
former snd the Coroner substituted in his
place, whereupon the Sheriff refused to
give up his office, and the Governor has
been sought to solve the matter. The
Judge took his militia with him to hold
the Marion Circuit Court.
