HORSE THIEVES, KILLS HIMSELF.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD

By TELEGRAPH TO The HERALD
NASHVILLE. Tenn. June 80, 1871
mob Of twenty men horse back appeared before
the Jail Hickman, Ky at twelve O'Clock last night
with man whom they pretended was notorious
character named Morgan for whose apprehension a
reward had been offered. Tho unsuspecting jailor
led the way into the jail, whom four OF the party put
revolvers to his head and demanded the delivery Of
the key to the cell OF Jarvis Anderson and
Tom Anderson They took the prisoners out
when both escaped The officers subsequently, cap
tured Jarvis Anderson who shot the whole top OF his
head OF. Tom Anderson hid under house on tho
bank OF the Mississpp where ho was found early this
morning and remanded to Jail.
THE PRISONERS WERE.
Il is thought nat Jarvis Anderson was tho leador Of
the daring gang OF thieves who have been inicsting
that locality. He was an ex-convict II isf said that
Tom Anderson will not now be further troubled.
Another OF the story that the mob belonged
to Jarvis Andcrson's gang, which, fearing he would
peach upon them, determined to put him out OF tho
way but this Is not generally credited. Every farmer
about Hickman has been plundered within the past
two or three months

THE VENEZUELAN AWARD.

Much delay, consequent upon the
accusation OF fraud IN sumo Of the
awards, has occurred in the distribn.
lion of the limited amounts received
from Venezuela, under the treaty Of
April %, 1868, applicable to the awards
uf the joint commission, created by
that treaty. So long AS these matters
are pending in Congress, the Executive
cannot assume either to pass upon the
question presented or to distribute the
fund received. 1t is cminently dcsira
bic that definite Legislative action
should be taken, either affirming the
award to be final, or providing some
method Tor examination OF the
claims.
