NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-A correspondent
of the star and Herald, of Panama,
writing from Guayaquil, 10th inst., gives
the following story of the assassination o
the President Of Ecuador: The whole city
was thrown into great excitement by news
Of the assassination Of Gracia NarenO, in
his palace at Quito, by an officer, Capt.
Rayo, whom he had displaced, and by two
young men of Quito called Cornejo. Rayo
first struck the President over the head
with a machele and was instantly run
through by the sentry who fired his piece,
at the SANE time killing the assassin. I'M
mediately the two young men, after Rayo
had struck the President, fired on the Pres
ident with their reyOlvers. The President
fell on his face mortally wounded and has
since died. The two young men escaped.
The people cannot realize the Presidents
death, and are yet afraid to attempt any
thing. Great alarm has seized on all for
eigners and strong reasons exist for be-
lieYing there will be a massacre Of foreign
priests.

A BATTLE ON THE PRAIRIE

Fort Scott MONITOR Aug. Is.
a terrible affair occurred near Dallas,
Texas, on Saturday Of last week. About
20 wagons met on the prairie en- route for
Dallas. They combined into one train and
camped together. In the train was young
widow, who in her manner was sOciable in
the extreme. A man who had joined the
train from some quarter began paying his
devOtions to her which she rather encOur-
aged. He pushed his suit with vigOr, and
finally made certain advances which she
resented, and informed one Of her admir-
ers of the insult put upon her. He imme-
diately took up her cause and called upon
the offending party, who acknowledged the
fact. An apology was demanded and re-
fused, and a fight determined on. The
male members Of the train divided into
three parties. One favored the lady's
cause, another the offending party, while
the third advocated peaceful measures, and
sought to reconcile matters. Finding this
TO be impossible, the peaceful party pulled
up stakes and left, determined TO take no
hand in the affair. They had not proceed
ed far before the sound Of pistol shots, in
rapid succession, were heard accompanied
by shrill screams Of women. The battle
had begun. Both the remaining parties
had taken up arms in support Of their
companions, and fought to the bitter end.
The fight was furious, but after a time the
pleadings Of the women separated the COM
batants, but not until three men were NOR
tally wounded and several others danger
ously so. About fifteen men were engaged
in the aiiray.

New ALBANY, Aug. 25.-The Ledger
Standard this evening gives the particulars
Of dastaTdly outrage peTpetTated il CraW-
ford county, in this State, Sunday night
last. A man named HOughton, who with
some others, about one year ago, visited
the house of a man named Saltsgiver and
lynched him, made up his mind 70 turn
States evidence and inform on , is COM
Tades. He visited the town of Leaven-
worth, and gave an attorney all the facts
and names of those engaged in the outrage
on S lltsgiver. This came to the ears Of
his old companions and they organized a
band of about twenty-five, who visited his
house on Sunday night, disguised, and
forced open the door of his sleeping room.
HoughtOn resisted their attack, and knocked
two Cf his assailantS down. They iinallv
oVerpOwered him, and in the presence Of
his wife administered TO him 80 or 60 lashes
with hickory wythes, laceTating his body
in the most shocking manner. lnadditiOn
the scOundrels wounded and laTceTated his
sexual organs in a horrible manner. After
these ku-KlUx left, physicians were called,
and they found HOughtOn in terribly eX-
hauSted condition, his bed saturated with
blood, and he suffering intensely. HOugh-
ton, fearing further Outrf ge, had himself
removed TO the county Jail on Monday
night and locked up by the sheriff. He
recognized seven or eight Of his assailants,
and has given the names to the authorities.
There is a good deal Of feeling in the cOun-
ty in regard to the affair, and it is probable
that some Of the parties will be arrested
aud punished, unless they leave that section
in haste.

tiOns Of war that had been niE2e to them,
and Of the lack of FaHis on the part Of the
writer Of The letter, who appeared to be the
agent Of the LOuiaianians. Il went further,
and darkly hinted Of arrangements thar
had been perfected for the sudden taking
of Of the President and Attorney General.
The receipt of funds from WiltE was set
forth, as were also the promises of Penn,
Billieu, and other prominent Conservative
leaders to contribute to the expense not
only Of furnishing arms and ammunition,
but also Of The taking off Of Grant and
Williams. The letter was very skill
fully drawn up. Wilts and Penn re-
presented to the excited people ofthe North
just st that time the very head
and front Of the banditti of whose exist.
ence Sheridan had so widely telegfbbhed,
while Billieu was of the same kidney, as
he was the man who had so boldly put the
motion to elect Wilt Speaker. The hand
writing was that of Quilp, clumsily dis
guised, and the signature was that Of a man
who some two or three months previously
had registered at one Of the Washington
hotels as from Louisiana. Il was evidently
Quilp's purpose 10 have the letter captured,
doubtless before it could reach Wilt
whether at New Orleans, en- route, or before
It left Washington, can only be suTmised.
From the fact that such explicit directions
were given to have it mailed at the partie-
ular letter-box mentioned and no other,
it would seem probable that it was
the intention TO seize it before it left
the city. But there is probably no
thief so utterly untrustWorthy as the one
who is set to catch a thief. The letter in
question never saw the inside Of any letter
box in Christendom, and never got outside
the city Of Washington. 1t viii readily be
seen that its publication would have had a
effect. 1t is but just to say on |
behalf Of Heap that he did not know for |
some days the nature Of the contents of the |
letter. For some time Quilp betrayed |
great uneasiness on account Of the matter; |
but as time passed away and he heard moth
ING of the matter, he doubtless came to the /
that it had been lost in some way. |
Aud so ended the attempt to bolster up and
give plausibility TO Gen. Sheridan's bloody /
stories Of assassination in tCe air"
Quilp went out of Office with Will
iams, but can be found, and the Com
1ercial correspondent states that these
'outrages" and several others Of the
'ame sort are likely to be unearthed by
proper action on the part of the next
Congress.

GREAT BRtTAtN.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Capt. Web0 has sue.
ceeded in his second attempt in swimming
| from Dover to Calais without float or life
saving apparatus. A dispatch from Calais
says the Captain arrived at II o'clock this
morning, in good health and spirits,
although fatigued. The passage from
Dover occupied p hours, 40 minutes.
LONDON, Aug. 2j.-Capt. Webb started
yesterday on his swim across the channel at
the rate oftwenty strokes to theminute. The
weather was calm. At $50 he lunched on
ale and beef tea, and at o'clock on beef
tea and beer. He then rested, floating on
his back; at A. NJ. he was troubled with
floating sea weed. At IL o'clock
cod liver oil was given him. The
moon rose at A. NJ. he took brandy and
tea at this time. He declared accomplish
ment Of the feat a sure thing. At o'clock
he paTtOok of coffee. Then the tide turned
and the Captain appeared exhausted. His
trainer stripped, ready 70 render assistance,
but Webb laughingly declined his services.
His strokes at this time were at the rate
Of twenty per minute, and as the sequel
proved, be had four miles further to swim,
daylight at four o'clock, finding him drOW-
sy, when he INDUCED in coffee and brandy.
At $50 buoys were sighted and their posi-
tion located. At 7 there was a westerly
breeze and chOpping sea retarding, and it
was only indomitable pluck that insured
success.
A skif was kept on the weather side,
Webb swimming slowly; from this time he
INDUCED in brandy straight every twenty
minutes. SOundings were taken st eight
o'clock and ten fathOms reported. Steam
ers now made their appearance from
Calais and steamed along the wealth
er side Of the swimmer, breaking
the sea, cheers rang necessarily,
giving fresh hope to the gallant swimmer,
who laid a straight line for Calais sands.
At 1G:30 O'Clock he was in shallow water,
and at 10:40 to-day, incredible to relate, the
brave Matthew Webb stood on land. He
was tired, but soon recovered, and was con-
veyed to the hotel in a carriage, where he
was rubbed down, and put to bed, and at l
O'Clock, when the correspondent sailed on his
return to Dover, TRANQUILITY slept. Doc
tors have no fears of serious consequences.
Capt. Webb beats Paul BOyton about two
hours. 1t is pronounced by the press the
greatest physical feat Of the century.
A meeting was held to day to discnss the
causes Of the high price Of meat. A resolu-
tiOn was adopted protesting against re-
strictiOns on importation of foreign cattle.
An association was formed to secure a sup
ply of live cattle from the United States to
meet the wants Of the English market.
