HON. CASSIUS. N. CLAY KILLS DESfEHAIE
-~-- NEGRO.
CINCINNATI, October l.--Hon. Cassius NJ.
Clay yesterday morning shot and instantly
killed negro named Perry White. Gen.
eral Clay had employed Whites mother as
cook, but finding she had been robbing him
of silyer.piate and other articles had dis
charged her. Yesterday morning he started
from his farm, six miles from Richmond,
KY, to visit negro church in the neigh
borhood for the purpose OF hiring another
servant. While ON the way he perceived q
loose horse in a pasture near the road
side > and the negro Perry White en-
deavoring Ito conceal 8 himself behind
the animal. White had threatened Clay's
life, and was known as desperate
character, and upon perceiving him Clay
immediately leaped down, confronted the
negro, and ordered him to throw up his
hands. The negro obeyed, and Clay talked
to him roughly, and ordered him to leave
the place, and telling him that il he moved
from his position until Clay was remounted
he would kill him. AS soon as Clay started
for his horse the negro rushed after him,
but Clay turned suddenly, and fired twice,
hitting the negro in the neck and breast.
General Clay then rode to town and deli
vered himself to the authorities. The feel
ing OF the community is entirely with Clay.
White had the reputation OF being bully
and dangerous man.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.
MANCHESTER, September %, 1S1

MANCHESTER, September %, 1871.
Editors Dispatch: The communication
signed " Conservative" in to-day's issue Of
your paper, and very properly explained to
be j. c. Robertson, demands brief notice.
Believing it possible that some untainted
Conservative in the county Of Chesterfield
may be deluded by the apparent plausibility
Of this peculiar epistle, l would say to the
old war-horse Il don't mean the asses) and
the grim battlc-scarred veteran of the Con-
sentative party that it is matter OF very
great surprise that he in his purity OF pur-
pose and zeal in good cause should have
selected as mouthpiece a man who is as
much disposed to be an independent cam
ddatc for office as q mule is to kick,
having little over year ago opposed the
regular nominee Of the Conservative party
OF this city for commemorative attorney
Ton which memorable occasion his name ap-
peared on the ticket headed " Republican ~,
when his real Conservative competitor re-
ceived more votes IN his (Mr. Robertson's;
own ward 0he FOURTH by 225 majority than
the said Mr.. r. received in the entire city.
Is this the man, the Conservative, who has left
his city to discover in the county that there
is not one in ten who will support the regu-
lar ticket! It may be he thinks his COM
munication OF to-day may create sufficient
more behold his name on the ticket headed
Republican, when would exclaim with
him, God help Chesterfield /" ,.e:rj a.:
The writer of this peculiar communica-
ton is not supposed to be Mr.. Robertson
who, however much disposed to stretch
and rubberize the truth, would not, in my
opinion, tear it, especially when he has no
thing TO lose. "s - -. -.
This is none OF Mr.. Robertson's fight, he
being generally considered out OF the Con-
servatire party since he bolted in the spring
of last year. Was very sorry to have lost
him for he is a good fellow, but thirty
pieces Of silver caused Judas to lose respect
for Christ.
would most respectfully suggest to the
old war-horsc and the old battc-scarred
veteran whose arm was freedoms shield
and whose heart was freedoms altar that, as
he is not for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, would it
not be wise and just to appeal to the En-
ecutivc Committee Of the State for an ad-
iustment OF his claims instead OF the pas
sions and feelings OF disappointed friends
and partisans? ! should not have consid-
cred the communication worthy OF notice
had not the unconservative record OF Mr..
Robertson been associated with it, and fear
ing that some good Conservative OF the
county not familiar win MS record MiSut
DC misled.
II the other dissatisfied Conservatives OF
Chesterfield cannot show better record
than the godfather Of the aforesaid epistie,
then indeed, may .sGod help Chesterfield"
The charge that your reporter is ignorant
or wilful]y miSrepresents the condition OF
Chesterfield is as absolutely hostile to the
truth as Russia is to Turkey.

Mcssrs. Lynch and Attkisson were nomi-
mated for the House, and must say never
attended fairer one in my life.

SERIOUS TROUBLE WITH THE MEN ON THE KAN
SAs CENTRAL NARROw-GUAGE ROAD.
LEAyENwORTH, October 1.-The laborers
on the Kansas Central Narrow-Guage rail-
road, atthe end of the line near Circleville,
have been on strike for three days past
because they have not been paid their
wages. Early Saturday morning party Of
twenty citizens left this city on special
train for the scene Of the disturbance. At
Halton they were Joined by Sheriff Will
liams, OF Jackson county, and posse OF
fifteen men. The Leayenworth men were
made part OF the sheritf7s posse, and the
train proceeded to the end OF the line be-
yond Circleville. Here large body Of
the strikers were congregated- on
Observation-Disclosures by Hartman. The par-
ty were greeted with abusive epithets.
Hartman especially was very offensive
in his language, and demonstrative in his ac-
tons. Captain Tough, formerly United
States marshal for the western district Of
Kansas, who had been selected as the leader
of the posse, commanded Hartman to halt,
and was answered by q piStol-shot. The
posse was ordered to fire over his head,
which was done, and Hartman replied with
two shots from his revolver. The posse
then, under direction, fired upon Hartman.
He died the same evening. The train re-
turned to Circlevillc, where it was
met by Il great crowd OF the stri-
kers. 4 warrant was sworn out against
Captain Tough, who was arrested, but re-
leased on his own recoguizance. AT Halton
the train was confronted by another body Of.
strikers, who took possession Of the switch
and declared they would not let the train
pass unless the posse surrendered Captain
Tough to them. This was not done, and
the train backed out. Subsequently, the
posse left the train and marched into Hal
ton and took up quarters in the hotel, which
was soon surrounded by armed strikers,
but, finding that the posse was well pre-
pared, did not attack the house. Captain
Tough was again arrested the same night,
and released on $4,000 bail. l>: -at ("
