OUR CINCINNATI LETTER.
Assault Upon a COyington Editor :
Arrest OF the AssaiIanI.
CINCINNATI, o., Dec II, 1877.

CINCINNATI, o., Dec II, 1917.
Between one and two o'clock yester-
day afternoon, Maj. W. G. Terrell, the
editor OF the "Cevington News" in the
Cincinnati Commercial, was dangerously
and brutally stabbed at the Clinton
House, in Covington, by James Franz
cis son of A. J, Francis, Justice Of the
Peace in the latter place.
The trouble was occasioned by Col
Terrell published several articles IN the
Commercial, charging Squire Francis
with not making correct return OF fees
and moneys collected by him as an Off
Ger. A partial examination was made
by Attorney J. P. Harrison, OF the
charge, and q favorable report was made
Of the conduct OF the Justice. The
matter rested here for while, and 1t
was thought the whole thing was set.
tied, but il seems that revenge could
only appease the wrath OF the Justice
and his son. Col. Terrell was several
times warned OF the intentions OF the
father and SOD, but paid no attention to
the threats. But yesterday, while
standing in front Of the Clinton House,
talking TO his soma midshlpman who
had Just returned from a voyage-he
was approached by young Francis, who
said TO the younger Terrell that he had
a grudge to settle with his father, (Col.
Terreli) and perhaps he would assume
the defense, or words to that erect
Major Terrell pushed tine man Francis
to one side, when he was suddenly stab
ed with q knife, which Francis had all
the time concealed. The Major then
struck the man q savage blow over the
cad which felled him to the ground
Francis was then arrested and taken 10
Jail.
Major Terrill was taken into the
Hotel where his wound was examined
and found to be very dangerous, the
knife penetrating his abdomen an inch
to the left Of his navel. He suffered all
night from the effect Of the wound and
it is found now that his liver was cut
in two.
Major. Terrill is lawyer OF fine ed
ucation and splendid talents, but who
has given up his practice for editorial
briefs end personals. He is a keen
witty writer and a careful OBJ
server. His pen has been fearIessly
welded in the cause OF justice and
against fraud and corruption.
Francis, the younger, is a 10" bred
man about thirty years OF age, who
seems TO have no occupation, work or
calling. Great crowds gathered at the
hotel in the evening to sympathlze
with the afflicted Colonel.
Hon. Henry Stanbnry, Ex-Attorney
General Of the United States, and one
of Andrew Johnson's defense, lectured
in the city last night to the Bar Asso-
citation. His "reminiscences OF Gen.
Tom. Ewiug, ST., were very interestlng.
