The Brown haughnessy Homicide.

Dick Brown, who shot Edward
Shaughnessy in a Deadwood theatre
sometime ago, writing to a friend
in this city, complains that THE LEAD
Err wrongs him by demanding that muir
derers be punished. Dick Brown has
no just cause for complaint against
The LEADER. We have always given
the use of our columns to people who
consider themselves wronged by any
thing we print, and Mr.. Brown need
not have asked for justification from a
contemporary when he knew that his
statement would have been published
by us. We do not pretend to be Judge
and jury, but we say: "Let Justice he
done, though the heavens fall"
If Brown killed Shaughnessy in self
defence and the fact is well established
by the testimony of those who witness
ed the act, Brown will be acquitted. If
Brown murdered Shaughnessy, we hope
to see Brown punished. The points in
the case are not all in Browns favor,
even if, as he writes, he was ''discharg-
ed from custody after a preliminary ex-
animation. Shaughnessyandhis friends
tell n story and Brown and his friends
another. It is for a jury to decide
which party tells the truth. Mean
while, we repeat that we have not
wrunged Mr.. Brown, and disclaim any
intention of wronging him. His con.
Duct is shildish.

Robbery.

John Hall and a party by the name
of Smith have recently. been employed
in the Arcade restaurant. On Sunday
last Hall robbed Smith of fifty dollars.
Hall then put on a heavy load of whisky
and was hauling it around town, when
officers Howard and Curran, who had
learned of the robbery and were hot on
the trail, found Hall lying on the ground
near Shodl's cigar store. They at first
thought him intoxicated, but upon lift
ing him discovered that one of his legs
was broken, though how it happened
is yet a mystery. He was arrested and
is row in confinement. The evidence
against him is strong, he having shown
the money at several places.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Tonic,

sehenek's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE Pills. These deser-
vedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the fallacy of sew
eral maxinls which have for many years
INSTRUCTED the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that
Consumption is incurable" deferred
physicians from attempting to find
remedies for that disease, and patients
afflicted with 1t reconciled themselves
to death without making an effort to
escape from a doom which they suppos-
cd to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved,
however, that Consumption Gun be cured,
and that it has been cured in Il very
great many cases (some of them appar.
emily desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup alone; and in other cases
by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
to the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed un-
interrupted good health for more than
forty years, wa supposed at one time
to be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case
hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate.
He wa cnred by the aforesaid medi-
cines, and, since his recovery, many
thousand similarly affected have used
DR.. Schenck's preparations with the
same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary to per-
sonally see DR.. Schenck unless patients
wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his pIin-
cipal office, corner Sixth and Arch sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

"Three Guardsmen" and Their Calamity.
The continued interruption of tele-
graphic communication between Forts
Laramie and Fetterman induced an es-
cort of six cavalry, commanded by Sergt.
Bessy, in returning from Hat Creek, to
strike cross the country and come in
on the Fetterman line. Sunday night,
on the Elkhorn, 80 miles north of Fort
Laramie, fresh traces of Indians were
discovered, and to avoid q surprise the
Sergeant, with three men, made a re-
connoissance, and about midnight col
lided with a party of fifteen Indians.
In the fight which ensued Bessy and
Private Taggart were slightly wounded,
and Private Ferthenall was badly wound
ed. They also lost three horses killed,
when the Indians were forced to retire.
A company of cavalry left Fort Lar
annie Monday to endeavor to intercept
the Indians. 4-Al /

The last number of the Jackson
Times has no less than nine pieces
about Kemper county. The object of
the journal is obvious. It is to reflect
more or less upon the people of that
county, and upon the people of Missis>
sippi. It boldly insinuates that Gov.
Stone has no. caused any arrests to be
made, and that those who violated the
law in the riot will not DO punished.
The insulting feature of 81 this lies in
the fact that these statements are con
tinually made and repeated, although
the Governor and the proper officials
have done and are doing all the law al
lows them to do to bring its yiolaters
to Justice. The Times seems to think
the Governor cau arrest and execute
people without any regard to the forms
of law. He has no more power in this
matter than the Governor of Illinois
has to punish the Streator ~poisonefs.
If any stretch of law could be ex>
cused, for the Governor of Illinois
to hang the cold-blooded poisoners, it
seems to us would be eycusable, yet we
haven't heard that he has,seyer visited
the scene Of the terrible crime. If our
Governor could find out who murdered
Gully in the first instance, and caused
the sad tragedy in Kemper, he could
render the State a service by having
the guilty parties tried and hanged.
But We hardly think they will ever be
hanged, for we feel confident they have
already been shot Vichsburg Her

pressions of leading newspapers can
always be taken as fairly indicating
popular opinion. feeling. aud senti-
ment; and. as l have ~intinated, there
is not in the cotton States to-day a
leading newspaper that does not re
io;ce ct The so'idity Of the Southern
Democratic vote. Aud looking at the
matter from a Southern standpoint, why
should the vote referred to BE divided?
What have the Southern Democrats to
gain by DISCRIMINATION? 1t is not
usual for victorious armies to dispense.
Great political parties only separate
when they have been defeated The
Democrats of the South have been sue
cessful beyond their most sanguine ex>
pectations. They have triumphed
where they anticipated disaster, and
they would be more or less than
human il they did not press forward to
fresh victories and still greater con
nreets."

next few days.
The steamship City OF Mexico, which
was to have left for Vera Cruz yester-
day morning at s O'Clock, was by orders
detained, and will not depart before
special kilograms are received from the
State Department. This looks very
mysterious and foreshadows a move

The recent demonstrations on the Rit
