LOUISVILLE, KY, Apr. 10.-The fol-
lowing additional particulars of the
shooting of young Breckenridge have
been received: He and some compan-
ions had been drinking during the day,
and seemingly playful dispute arose
between Breckenridge and John Ander
son, son of the Mayor of Lebanon,
about the possession of an umbrella be-
longing to Breckenridge. This was f.
nally quoted, and Breckenridge
asked the party to drink. While they
were leaning over the bar Anderson
suddenly drew a Derringer, and placing
it at Breckinridges head fired, the ball
penetrating the brain. Anderson fed.
A posse is now after him.

that he will have the sympathy of the

DRUNKENNESS NO PALL1ATIoN.-A
strong but unavailing effort has been
made in Tennessee for the pardon Of
one Charles NJ. Stewart, who killed his
wife while he was intoxicated. Gov.
Brown, in giving his reasons for re-
fusing to save the man from the
penitentiary, says:
Drunken husbands, and drunkards
generally, Of all social grades, cannot
too soon BE taught that they cannot
shelter themselves from crimes that
shock every refined sensibility behind
the plea Of drunkenness. If men with
a full knowledge of their weakness and
temper, will persist in drinking to
drunkenness, let them be taught that
they will be made to feel the penalties
OF the law BY every department of the
government"

State Rights and Railroads

One Of the resolutions of the Illinois
Independent Reform Convention asserts
the supreme right OF the State to regulate
and control railroads chartered by itself
and lying within ITS limits. 1t declares
that ''the claim of the TUsds of the right
to fix their freights and tares independent
of the people involves the highest attribute
of sovereignty right OF the conquer
or to levy contributions at will UPON a sub.
jugated people or State; and as che lower
cannot co-exist with government Of he
people, it must be resisted" 1t further
declares that ''the right Of the Legislature
to regulate and control the railroads Of the
State must be indicated, established and
maintained as an essential attribute Vt the
State government; and it pledges the
convention to agree to no truce, submit
to 10 compromise short Of the complete
supremacy OF the State government in its
right, through its legislature, to supervise
and control the railroads Of the State 10

The straight Democrat organ of Senator
Morton the Enquirer of Cincinnati) re-
marks that Logan said some excellent
things about the currency in his Spring
field speech" of Wednesday evening. He
said, among other things, that this coun
try has not two thirds the amount of cur
rency in proportion to its wealth and mag
nitude of any other civilized country"
Making no deep scrutiny into the syntax of
this great truth. we might remark, for
instance, that this country has not two
thirds the amount" OF people in proper
ton to its wealth and magnitude that
some other Countries have. But it seems
to have about nineteen times as many asses
aud demagogues.
