The young man who was thus
rudely accosled at Huntsville,
Alabama, near the small court
house about MONDAY on the End
of November, lS40, by Thomas
Mcbride, a slightly older man,
and the editor of the Democratic
journal, the North Alabamian,
was John CHAMPION, editor Of the
Huntsville Whig, and also very
young man.
Champion drew pistol, and SO
did Mcbride.
Both fired almost simultaneously
Mcbride uttered a piercing cry,
jumped several feet into the air,
and fell dead to the ground.
A large concourse of people i'm
mediately gathered round the
combatants. When it was found
that Mcbride was dead loud eX-
ecrations resounded in the crowd,
and several voices exclaimed:
"Hang Cramptonl Hang himT'

face turned deadly pale. In his
hand he still held

The latter quickly surrendered
to the official, who took him th
county Jail.
An excited multitude assem-
bled in front of the jail. Ths
threats of the people to lynch the
prisoner redoubled 10 violence, and
at one time desperate attempt
was made by the crowd to force All
entrance into the prison, but the
Sheriff's Grmuess foiled the riot

THE MOST INTENSE AGITATION.
Political feelings was running
high at the time. 1t was only
few days prior to the Preslden-
tial election.
Young Mcbride was one Of the
favorites of the Alabama Democ
racy. He was man of consider
able talent, and descended from
one of the most aristocratic faml-
lies in the State. lie was mar
ried to a very beautiful lady from
New Orleans, with whom he was
believed to live very happily.
When his lifeless remains were
taken TO his home, his young wife
had thrown herself in an agony
Of grief upon the corpse, and then
sank into long swcon. Her dis.

nation against her husbands mur

The Grand Jury indicted the
latter, aud he was tried for mur-

His counsel was the able Rufus
King, aiterward Vice President Of
the United States, who defended
him in a speech everybody ad-
mired, which had the effect of
bringing about disagreement of
the jury.
This result of the trial excited
b utmost dissatisfaction in
Huntsville, and tue two jurymen
who voted against Champions
conviction were socially ostraclzed.
Crampton's counsel turned this
hostility of the people of Hunts
vile to account for his client, and
obtained change of venue to

TeIegraphic Summary.

NASHVILLE, Aug. iS.-The Tennessee
Democratic con ventiOn on the 22d ballot
nominated Judge Albert 5. Marks, of
franklin county, for governor.
BERLIN. Aug. lS.-It is stated that on
the day OF the last sitting Of the Congress
previous to the signature Of the treaty, the
Austrian and Turkish Plenpotentiaries
agree Austria should sign declaration to
the effect that the sultan should retain
sovereignty over Bosnia, and that occupa-
ton should be only temporary.
LONDON, Aug. ia Vienna dispatch
says negotiations between Austria and
Turkey are Oh the verge of failure and Il
rupture is imminent. The last PROPOSE
tions of the porte have been rejected Car
atheadon Pasha is awaiting instructions as
to whether lie shall quit Vienna. All
Vienna special correspondence deny that
the convention has been signed. Public
opinion and the press are unanimous
against it.
CHICAGO, August l9.-The "Tribune"
this morning says editorialIy that the
Kcarncy demonstration in indianapolis
yesterday came into competition with a
welcome to the new Catholic bishop of the
diocese. The result furnished additional
proof that the blatant communist from
California can expect neither comfort nor
couutenance from the great body Of the
Catholic church. The new bishop was
welcomed by vast crowd Of people. glad
of the opportunity to show .heir respect
for hi, holy office. KGarney was neglected
with conspicuous contempt. the street pro-
cc,sion which was to have received and
escorted him to the picnic grounds num-
bered but 81 by actual count. The Indian
apOlis demonstration WAS q significant
sample of the. estimate held of Kearney
among western workingmen. lie is a
failure rs a sensationalist in this longitude,
and ought to lose no time in returning to
the open arms Of the Frisco hoodlums.

pubiicans, Democrats, Changers or Commu-
nists, are compelled by the facts that fall
under their observation, to give Democratic
representatives credit for sincere purpose
to let politics alone, and devote the present
session to the business Of the country. In
der the spur of Democratic pressure the
house has already passed several appropria-
ton bills, and is maturing Others If the
senate will be equally prompt in its work,

which must pass, have less opportunity to

ONE OF our country exchanges illustrates,
by an anecdote, that "boys will be boys,
the world over" The accepted meaning of
this phrase is that there is very liberal
supply Of dcvillry in our human nature,
that develops itself at an early stage of our
existence. 1t had full development in the
boy that slyly put chesnut burr under the
saddle Of the parsons horse. Up to that
time tha parson had never known the ami
NAL TO play a single trick; but now, all at
once, and most unaccountably, he put on
style, and pranced along the road in all the
apparent glory Of military ecstasy. For a
single moment the parson .houghto Of selling
to Snowy colonel Of the army. After that
his attention was 50 concentrated on the
means Of holding on, that he scarcely had
time To wish that he had sold him before he
had acquired such spirited habits. All
this time that wicked boy was on the road
with finger in mouth, and apparent sympa-

from which this anccdotc is borrowed ex-

something bad; but greatly to our astonish-
