Horrible Tragedy.

We copy the following from the Kos
ciuso, Mississippi, Republican:
The CdTtb0geHi0lJ says that that COM
munity was shocked on last Monday night,
bv the intelligence that Catherine Hutchins,
a girl of eighteen or nineteen years of age,
had been murdered by Perry Gill, to whom
she was TO have been married next day. The
crime was committed about two miles from
here, at Mr.. Hutchins', a relative of the un-
fortunate victim, and occurred about sun
set Monday evening. The fearful deed was
witnessed by a little boy who was in com
panv with the gin at the time. Ii ap-
pears from the evidence deduced at the in
quest. that about sunset the girl and little
boy went TO the spring for water. Directly
after they left Mrs. Hutchins saw Gill leav-
ing the house with a gun. She asked what he
intended to do with it. and he replied that he
wanted to kill snake which had been re-
Gently seen near the spring. Gill then fol-
lowed the girl to the spring, and few min
utes later the sound of a gunshOt, followed
by the screams of their little boy, appraised
them that some calamity had occurred.
Fastening to the spot, they found the un-
fortunate girl dead. upon her knees and
face, having been instantly killed while in
the act of filling jug with water from the
snring. The whole load of shot entered the
neck. and, ranging down, came out at the
breast. The little boy stated that when
Gill had fred the fatal shot he dropped the
gun and fed. The cause of this horrible act
IS unexplained, but many think he was TEN
porarily insane, as his actions had lately
been strange. The COrOner's jury returned
a verdict of mmder at the hands Of Perry
Gill. Nothing has been heard from Gill

Where Are the Votes to Come From
This question is pertinently asked by the
OpeloUsas Journal, which says:
At the election in this State, in 1870, the
Democratic party was united, and com
prised all classes but straight out Repub-
heans. Now IL is divided into several par
ties Nearly all the Germans then voted
with it; now they will not The Reform
party has drawn all its members from the
Democratic party, and many Democrats,
beside the Germans, have gone into the
Liberal party. The remnant even Of the
Democratic party is split, almost equally
divided, as appears by the vote in the re-
cent convention, and one-half is working
against the other. In 1870, the Democratic
party lacked at least $4,000 votes to enable
it to beat the Republicans. Now, since it
has split all to pieces, we would like TO
know where the votes are to come from to
elect the Democratic ticket at the next cleo
ton. The idea of any sensible man voting
for such ticket is simply preposteroUs. If
be wants to throw his vote away, be can do
that by remaining at home, which will at
least save time and trouble.

t;eneraI Butler and the Seizure of the
Nassaus

NWBkuua
The New York Tribune Of Saturday says
The trial Of the suit of Henry A. Til1en
against General B. +. Butler, as Milit.ry
Governor of New Orleans, to recover 100000
damages for the alleged unlawful seizure of
the steamer Nassau, was resumed yester-
day in the United States Circuit Court, be-
fore Judge Shipman, 1t is commended by
the plaintiff that, at the time Of the seizure
of the Nassau, she was owned by George
Hunnewell, who afterwards sold her to
Tilden, assigning TO the latter the right Of
action against General Butler. In order to
maintain the suit it is necessary to prove
that, if Hunnewell had any title to the
Nassau, and any right of action against
General Butler, he assigned the same to
Tilden. To show this, what purpOrted to
be a bill Of sale Of that vessel by Sutphen
TO HunneWell, was offered in evidence. A
very long argument followed as to whether
this document is not fatally defective in
substance and form, and as to whether it is
properly authenticated After considerable
deliberation, the court decided that it could
not be given in evidence for the reason,
among others, that the nOtarial seal APP
peared on Its face TO be affixed to it six
years after it was drawn mp and recorded.
An exception was taken to this ruling, and
the question Of Hunnewelfs ownership of
the Nassau was suspended.
II Is also claimed that General Butler ap-
propriated the Nassau to his own private
use, and that he sold her to S. p. Griffin
and Andrew jackson Butler. To aid in
substantiating this a certified copy Of the
registration of the Nassau. in the names of
Griffin and Butler, at the CustOmhouse in
New Orleans, was put in evidence, together
with the registry bond, made out with the
same names.
The question of Hunnewells assignment
of his right of action then came up, and Nj.
DOolittle, one Of Tilden's attorneys, testi-
ted as follows:
This paper which / hold in my hand is
Hunnewel's assignment to Tilden of his
right of action against General Butler; /
drew it up at my Office in this city.
Cross-examined by General Butler-When
this assignment was delivered / saw no
money paid upon it; it was executed and
delivered in my presence: / can't say of nv
own personal knowledge that any considera-
ton whatever was given for this assign
ment.
1t was then proposed to put the assign
menJ in evidence, but United States Dis
Jrict Attorney Davis raised several techni-
cal objections to it, one of them being that
IL had only a hve-cent revenue stamp,
whereas the law required a fftv-cent stamn.
At this point Judge Shipman adjourned tie
court till Monday, on account Of the in
tense heat and the i'll health of Judge
Porter
