A Hero GOne-The Champion
JaCkasSs
Cincinnati Gazette. |


The heroic little jackass who twice
repulsed raging ioness in single
combat at the Geological Garden on
the oath of last March died yesterday
of the wounds received in that encoun-
ter. This little jackass vindicated his
race from the injnstice of the literary
SMILES of all ages. In classical litera-
ture the royal family of the lion looks
upon the ass with contempt, and wits
found ridiculous humor in the notion
of the ass as fighting animal.
But this HoDess was excited to feroe
rage by the sight of the little jackass.
She bounded through the bars of her
cage, and with her ponderous jaws
seized the jackass by the flank. With
great self-possession he reached for the
back of the lioness with his teeth, and
gave her such grip that she was glad
to let go and stink away.
After such a royal encounter the
jackass was in no mood to be seized
again by the halter. In evading the
pursuit of the anxious attendants, the
jackass again came in the vicinity of
the ioness, when she bounded for him
again, and he met her with his heels,
and sent her rolling down a gully.
But her first assault upon him. when
unsuspecting, wounded him cruelty.
and after this long lingering he expired
yesterday, and has gone where the
good asses go. He vindicated his race
from the ridiculous traditions of all
ages, and showed that honest industry
may be combined with heroic courage.
The Geological Society should pres
erve his inanimate form, as it has that
of the ioness, as a memento of q
famous battle,

He Retreats IgnOminiOusly Whip
ped out in a Debate With James
+. Payne, Esq, and Colonel
McCauley.

On Friday evening last General
Abbott appeared, by appointment, at
Monroe, for the purpose of enlighten-
ing the people on the subject of Con-
vention. He was requested to divide
time with the Conservative speakers,
and agreed to it. The General led off
with the old stale argument of the Rad
icals, i'll regard to the Convention ques-
tion, and made a speech of an honr,
very much to his own satisfaction, no
doubt, and that of the squad of ''truly
loil," who had assembled to hear him.
At its conclusion James F. Payne,
ESQ.,, took the stand, and after calmly
reviewing the arguments of the Gener-
al. showing their untruthfulness and
the ridiculous absurdity of some of his
posit ons, he proceeded to take the
Radical hide off of him, which was
done in the most effectual manner.
Colonel G. M. T. McCauley then took
shot at him, pitching in some heavy
artillery, which, together with the
response of Mr.. Payne, left him
speechless. and he was glad when the
cars came and bore him away. In all
his experience with the Democratic
speakers, the "Gineral' has never had
SO severe a handling. Quite large
number of the Conservative party
W ere present and enjoyed the fun.
They say that it beat circus all to fits,
and when the "Gineral" wants to enjoy
such another day he is welcome to
come. Abbott's trip up there has
united tie Conservative party and
reused it up more than anything that
could have been done.

PATHETIC. HUT GLOft EOU
Letter of a brave Man and worthy
Judge who Died tor Law
and Order.

The Boston Journal says: One Of
the most dastardly deeds ever per-
patrated in region distinguished for
it's lawlessness was the recent murder
of Judge e F. Dyer, at Granite, Luke
county, Col. The Judge was a fearless
ana efficient man, and apparently the
only one in the county with courage
enough to oppose himself to the
ruffianism of the region. Recently
some act Of violence more than usually
lawiess was perpetrated, and the Judge
promptly issued warrants for the ar
rest of the guilty parties. Immedi-
aseiy the worst elements Of the popula-
ton were aroused against him. and
an armed mob of desperadoes, headed
in person by the county sheriff, seized
the Judge by force while IN Court.
On the way up the stairs OF another
building to which they were taking him,
the dastards fired four pistols shots at
him from behind, killing him instant
ly. The victim of this most cowardly
and brutal mur, er, while waiting in
Court under guard of the mob, wrote
the following tender and pathetic let
ter to his father. Rev. Mr.. Dyer, Of
Monument, Barnstabie county Mass.
every line OF which breathes a spirit
OF fearlessnesS and devotion, and shows
the heroic nature of the man who was
thus brought face to face with death:

Judge Buxton seeks a seat in the
Convention by negro votes. No one
knows better than himself that if the
negro vote be taken from him he has
no hope of an election. He depends
up the negroes of Cumberland and they
depend upon him.
But Judge Buxton is not the only lat
ter day legal iumiEary that hasdragged
the judicial ermine into tie political
arena. Judge Watts, of the Raleigh
district, has taken the stump in behalf
of the negro party. Hoping, doubt
less, to make capital for future nomi-
nation by a constituency blacker than
the blackest, he openly declares his
approval of the civil rights bill, and
unctuously thar ks his God th at it has
passed. SO much for Watts.
And nov for Buxton. Buxton was
evidently intended by nature for me-
diocrity and obs curity. But not con-
tent with his lot, he has boldly gone
against nature, and made himself no.
torious. If he had done nothing else
to send his name down through all
time with the anathemas of all lovers
of good government, his late st declara-
ton would be sufficient to do SO. He,
Judge upon the bench, sworn to ad
minister civil laws, ,unblushingl declare
that bill investing one man with abso-
lutte power over the lives, liberties and
property of the people throug hout the
State, is good bill. We refer, of
course, to the Shofner bill, for it is
this Infamous, internal bill that his
Honor Judge Buxton says is good
bill. And this is the man that claims
to be mild hammered, amiable, chris
tian jurist! Heaven save the mark!
It was this Shofner bill that gave
Governor Holden the power to declare
by proclamation every county in the
State TO be in insurrection, and under
which he inaugurated and conduc Ted
the Kirk war. It was this ShofGer
bill that one Cook, then carpetbag
Senator from Johnston, advocated, for
the reason that under it men "could
be tried by drumhead court martial
and shot" It was under this Shofn I
bill that Governor Holden actually
did organize a court martial to try
men and shoot them. And yet Judge
Buxton declares it to be good bill!
But this is not surprising, for Judge
Buxton is nothing, if not Radical,
and did not his party in a State
Convention assembled formally en-
dorEe Governor Holden and his admin
istration. even after he had been ig-
nomin iously driven from Office? And
yet this party has the audacity to ap-
peal to white ,1en for support, putting
forth as its champions Watts and civil
rights, and Buxton and martial law.
What state of things there would
be if such men could shape the policy
and control the destiny of North Car
