the cowardice of Hubbard. And in reciting
the history of that campaign it leaves out the
important fact that it was w. d. Washburn's
ambition to sit in Congress, and his family
hatred to Ignatius Donnelly, then in Congress,
that caused the split in the party. Washburn
then sneaked out of the fight, when he found
that defeat stared him in the face, after secur-
ing the nomination he had been atsuch trou-
BILE and expense to secure; but in order to kill
Donnelly, and leave the field open to the am
bilious Washburn, it was necessary to nomi-l
nate some one upon whom the party could
unite. Gen. Hubbard,was then rendered the
nomination, and accepted, and when the ques-
tiOn of which convention was the regular une
arose, he, like an honorable man, agreed to
submit to arbitration. But it was not justice
the Washburn clique wanted, and they soon
made it too hot for Hubbard, who, no doubt,
finding he was only to be d toolintheir hands,
resigned, as any independent gentleman would
have done. The defeat of 1858 is due only to

1T WAS MURDER.
Which Ed. Wright Perpetrated on His
ParamOur.


The jury in the inquest called by Coroner
Davenport which had adjourned over from
last Friday, to inquire more particularly into
the facts OF the killing OF Kate Hutton by her
Negro paramour, Ed. Wright. met again yes
terday afternoon at two O'Clock, and listened
to some additional testimony. The only liy-
ing witness to the tragedy, the young prosti.
tute, Lille Train, who gave SO confused and
rambling an account of the affair on the morn
ing after the shooting, was again placed on
the stand, and she repeated her story more
connectedly, but in several instances contra
dicted herself. Her testimony was not OF
character to have much weight, but unfortu.
nately she is the only person who could tell
the secret of their unholy meeting and subse-
quent tragedy, which resulted in the death OF
the notorious courtesan. Other witnesses
were called to contradict the testimony of the
woman Train, and also to contradict the vol
untary statement made by the Negro, Wright.
Sufficient testimony was given to the jury, in
their judgment, to Justify them in rendering
the following verdict: That the deceased came
to her death by injuries caused by the dis
charge of rifle in the hands of Edward
Wright, shot with intent to, kill her, the said
Kate Hutton.
At the conclusion of the inquest, County
Attorney Eagan asked that Ed. Wright be re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff, and that
the witness, Lille Train, who had been COM
mitted in the meantime, be released. She was
therefore set at liberty The Negro murderer,
Wright, will probably be taken before the mu-
nicipal court this morning for preliminary ex
animation
