Louisville Is soon to witness another Of

civilization-a public execution. Shan

man, are the victims, who, in a few days
are to be put through the cool, systematic
process of j judicial murder. Il will

the benefit of the people, for they are
given to understand that the exhibition

bloody example. The roughs and gamins
will be out in holiday attire. The
wharf rowdes will be there to criticise
the nerve and bearing of the poor devils
in the trying moment; and if they die

them heroes of brothel gossip for the
next six months. O'NeaPs alley will
have a contemptuous nose IN the air for
those artless dodgers who have to hang
for their, first murder. Cypriaus from
Lafayette will be there, glittering in their
harlot tinsel, aud from the occasion they
will draw a thrifty revenue to their trade.

his Golden Medical Discovery, with which

that it is a perfect specific for the sore throat

There was sharp passage between Mr..
Trumbull and the Vice President at the
conclusion of the morning hour to-day,
relative to the agreement made on Friday
last, that the vote should be taken upon
the Apportionment Bill next day. The
nature of the agreement and the question
raised about the meaning of the word ''to-
morrow was explained in last nights
dispatches. Mr.. Colfax stated at one
O'Clock that there were two special orders
assigned to the day, one being the Am
nesty Bill, and the other the Apportion-
ment, but that the Amnesty had the pre-
cedence by reason of having been first as
signed to the day Mr.. Trumbull said
the Vice-President was mistaken about
the Apportionment Bill; that had been
assigned to Saturday, and it had heen ex-
pressly agreed that the vote should be ta-
ken that day. Among honorable men, he
said, giving the word strong emphasis,
he knew of no more disreputable act than
the adjournment to Monday had been, af-
ter the agreement that had been entered
into. Mr.. Colfax administered a sharp
rebuke that when the statement of the
Chair could not be accepted it was no
longer proper that he should preside over
the Senate. He then showed that the
word Saturday had not been used. That
the word tomorrow" in Legislative
sense, always had been held to mean the
next legislative day, and sustained thor
oughly his first statement of what was
the business of the day. If Mr.. Trum
bull had not, with Mr.. Schurz, after EN-.
barrassing the adjournment resolution ai
long as possible, left the chamber tc
dodge the final vote, he might, at the
time of adjournment, have had the bust
in his charge in its appropriate position
for action. The Apportionment, was Fl
nally given the preference, and Amnesty
will come up tomorrow Correspondent

Jealous! Not that mean, low jealousy
which we often hear spoken of, referring
TO things of lower order, and which Oft
times makes the possessor of it a victim
to his own base passions, but that jeal-

which must be received to be appreciat-
ed, and then to have that object not
seem to notice them particularly, but
bestow some similar ones upon another,
with a look or a smile, which we feel
should be ours. This is noble jealousy,
feeling which God has implanted
within us, aud which shows itself even
in the infant of a year old. Let the
mother bestow some little favor upon
another child, and appear to slight her
own, even though she does not mean it,

mastery, love and hatred, and one or the
other must gain the victory. She con-
cealed it, however, within her bosom,
and tried hard to Danish it, for had she
not just heard he was another's? Was
not her dearest friends happiness bound

regularity in the conduct of Judge Wright,
formerly of Indiana, in connection with
certain Indian funds involving about half a
million of dollars, will soon be given to the
public, who will then be able to Judge
whether Judge Wright's conduct has been
proper, as he asserts, or whether it has
been rascally, as is held by Government
officers. The case has been in the hands


the Attorney General for several months,
and a good deal of evidence has been
collected, and thus far the fasts are by no
means favorable to Judge Wright. The
difficulty seems to be that the large amount
of money placed in his hands for the pay

counted for TO the satisfaction of the iAttor-

memory Of the assembling crowds of people
who anxiously scanned tae chaITcd remains
Of the deceased.
at about II O'Clock the coroner OF Clark
county arrived, and jury was convened,
eIicifing about the same facts rs narrated
above, one Of the witnesses testifying that
Ntter midnight four reports OF gun were
heard In the direction of the house, ana
another witness testified to having heard
halooing and shouting about s O'Clock, and
from that till o'clock. Mr.. Bandle was in
the habit of shooting at night. and the neigh
bors who heard the shooting thought nothing
Of it.


AS there was a desire to discover whether
Mr.. Bandle did sell his meat, and had in his
possession the money, the Jury did not bring
in a verdict, but wait for further light. '.i


We have called at the various places where
Mr.. Bandle was in the habit Of trading in this
city, but can gain no information as to the
disposition Of bis load ofIneat here. It is pro-
bable that it was sold in Louisville.


The neighbors testified as TO the general
good character Of the family, and but few
seemed willing to give credit to the idea that
Mr.. Bandle and his wife had become. .intoXi-
Gated, and thus were overtakcn in their Sad
calamity. The story was suggested by the
fact that Mr. Bandle had taken home kcg
OF beer on Monday of last week, and was
known at times to have drank very freely.


1t is possible when the friends and rela-
tivcs of Mr.. Band.e arrive, and are able to
give more definite information as to his where

he thrown upon this mysterious affair. Mr..
R.ndlo l,,d many friends and acuuaintances

the sad scene this morning. It is to be sim
ccrelv hoped that the mystery in which the
case is involved will be unravelled. A num-
hcr of skilful detectives were on the ground,
and every clue to the truth of the matter will
be closely scanned.


Since the above was put in type we learn
from gentleman who left the scene about )

to their death by some means unknown TO

Below will be found an extract ofa letter, dated Hardyville, April 23d, from our esteemed friend Sam Todd. This gentleman is we'll and favorably known throughout Ari- ZOna, and does more toward pros pecting and developing the mines of the Hualapai District, than any other man in the Territory: "The mining prospects of this District are considered by old miners as the best in the Territory at pres ent. People are crowding in almost daily, and but very few are lcav- ing, and those few are more of nuisance in a mining camp than otherwise. What VIC want -here-is hard working men-men who are willing to take the pick and shovel and help develop the mines as we'll as themselves. Perhaps the mines are not coming out as fast as we would like to see them, but they are sure; we have the right kind of men. More work is being done at present than at any period since the discovery of the district. Two furnaces are in course of con- struction, and one will be com pleted sometime during this week in fact it is now running out what is called "slag." The refin- ing furnace will be in full opera ton next week, and shortly after you will have an opportunity of chronicling the first shipment of base bullion from our mines.

The na- tural tendency of mankind is to selfishness, and we should there fore regard with approval any ef- fort to combat this tendency by establishing a special means of knitting men together in closer and higher relations than those of ordinary society.

An exalted literature may do much toward refining and raising the moral standard Of people, but when there is no stimulus to action. no motive for the practical application of principles, and no approved channel through which the efforts of the individual may be made to flow with appreciable benefit to the community, the solid progress in virtue is apt to be spasmodic and uncertain, and there is no firm resistance to the operation of those selfish prompt ings which result in retrogressionl or stagnation.

 SOME KU-KtUx ATROCITIES. Charles Good was a quiet, hard-working black smith. There were but two things against him-he was nigger and a Republican For these ofenses he was dragged out of his house one night and cruelty beaten. Meeting white neighbOr soon afterward, he said he thought he could pick out some of the men who had whipped him. Three days later, four members of the klan took him into the woods, tied him to sapling, and shot him, one of them finishing the matter by sinking the hammer of his gun into Goods head. Subsequently the whole klan was summoned to help bury the body, which was sunk in Broad river with stake driven through it. Another colored man, Aleck Leach, was killed for precisely the same reason-his saying that he knew who whipped him. Another, Sam Smrall, got word that the klan was coming, and made his escape. These chivalrous fellows beat his wife until they were tired, to make her tell where he was. Then they subjected her to outrage of which we cannot speak, stuffed her mouth and eyes with sand; and left her lying senseless in the road. The next night they came back and burned the house, she having fortunately taken refuge with her children in the woods. Thomas Roundtree, an industrious and peaceable mulatto, woke up one night to find his house surrounded by the klan. He at- tempted to escape through window. A hot fire was opened on him, which he re- turned with his revolver, wounding one of the assailants. A moment after he fell mortally wounded. A member of the klan deliberately walked up to him, lifted his head and cut his throat from ear to ear. A white woman, Jane Boheler, con- cealed two. colored men whom the klan was after, under the floor of her cabin. They were discovered, dragged out, and terribly beaten. This done, the klan turned its attention to the woman. She was taken into the yard, stripped naked, buckets of tar and lime were poured over her, and then she was ordered to leave the country within three days.
