was drawn upon so heavily by blackmailer
until finally his salary would not support
him. The judge denied the motion to with
draw the case from the jury, and then Gen.
Butler moved that as Mrs. Oliver, by hor
statements, manner of living and conduct,
was, IN the eye of law, married woman, she
was stopped from corsummating another
marriage. The judge said if he should gov-
ern himself by the acts in the case,
and the jury was absent from
the room, he would make short
work of it, but this case must be tried as any
other is. The parties come here both adul-
ferrous. Well, that was rather poor recon-
mendation for a Senator's wife, but if, after
being Informed of all the adulterous practi-
of the woman, the Senator is fool enough
to marry her, there is nothing to prevent.
His wOman's history and practices run
through tie entire case, and he believed her
antecedent history played the part of decep-
ton, and all know deception did not bind in
contract to marriage. But he had no fears
OF the jury running away with Justice while
ne had the reins, SO he would overrule the
motion.
ARKANSAS DEsPERADOIsM.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 29.-On the
night of Sunday last, the town of Fayett-
Vile was entered by mounted band of
about twenty armed men. Several of them pro-
ceeded on foot to the southeast corner Of the
public square, where both barrels OF a
shot gun loaded with buck-shot were dis
charged into window of the Sentinel Office.
The party then moved deliberately by the
residence of A. F. Farmer, Rueben Carter
and Z. l.. Summers, in all of which they
fired shotted guns. The two parties Joined
near Summers, where they remounted and
galloped off On the west f6rk of the
road. There is no doubt the party was
composed of the men who, week or more
before, had threatened the town in revenge
for the death of the desperate Reed, who
was killed at the Jail. The State guard, af-
ter the pacific resolutions of the citizens
meeting held by Reeds friends, had dis
banded, and the sudden attack in the dark
found the city defenceless, and hence it was
unchecked. Fortunately no one was hurt.
A considerable number of citizens after
their departure armed and patrolled the
town until daylight. The man Reed and
the mob who created this disturbance were
all of reckless class of people, who have
been terror of lawabiding people since the
early days of the war. Reed has killed sew
eral men, and frequently with his gang had
ridden into town, harrassing and annoying
law abiding people. Only short time be-
fore his death he made such foray into
town and struck the mayor on the head with
pistol while he was attempting to maintain
the peace. lie was arrested and fined for
this. The row in which he was killed oc-
Cured shortly after. Respectable people of
his own kin and party deny that politics had
anything to do with his taking off.
