A COLDBLOODED MURDER COMMITTED

After we-had gone to pre* with our

MrceooM witnessed in our city tor SWy
veers, happened at the court houso.?
John Taaoy, who had been arrested, and
was being tried at the court house, on
suspioion of having killed John Edwards,
- whose assassination we reported aboug[
two weeks since, was shot down by a
nreoqnoerted attack of several men, white
he was in the custody of the Sheriff of
Travis eounLtf_ Thfl morninor OAuinn of
the court had been held, and the prisoner
was about being taken to jail tilt after
dinner, when a gang of some eight
or ten men, who had been in attendance
on- tho trial, came up, and one of the
number, Jesse Graham, reachod out his
hand and said, 44 IIow do you do, Taney,"
and jerked him from Sheriff Blockwell,
and the men with him discharged
a volley of shot at Taney.
Black well had only a oonple of small
deringers with him. lie fired with one
and wot Graham, who made off, exclaiming,
n By O?d he's got me." The Sheriff,
when in the act of discharging his
. . second pistol, was caught by one of the
gang and held. Taney was then finished
with balls to the ntimber of Id or 14.
About 25 shots were fired at him, and
the parties then rushed to their horses,
which wore tied close by, mounted, and
made their escape. The Sheriff, assisted
by Messrs. Cullen, Norton, Hancock
and other citizens, arrested Parson Milton
T. Cnpci ton and his son Reuben, and
put them in jail. They have siDCebeen
tried, and thei'arson bound over to the
next term of the District Court in the

Taney wns n nephew of Chief Justice
Taney, of the United States Supreme
Court, n young innn, who had become,
from forco of circumstances, desperate 1
and abandoned. He killed Clint. Edwards
about two years ago, and was
strongly suspected of having killed the
old man, John Edwards, recently; and
it was upon a WYit obtained by young
Edwards and Parson Caperton, who live
on Onion Creek, that ho was arrested
and brought to jail. There can be no
justification for such a high handed and
outrageous proceeding. The mnjesty of
the law has been trampled upon, and.
one in the custody of the office re of the
law, in the very temple of Justice itself,
has been shot down and murdered in
cold blood, in defiance of all law officers
and the protection which the unarmed
and helpless offender wa. entitled to.?

"County Democrat, published at
Princeton, the residence of Owen Lovejoy,
says that during his boisterous and
abusive speech the other day, he referred
to the killing of his brother at Alton,
a few years ago, and declared he
would be avenged. But, adds the Democrat,
lie was very careful not-to mention
how he had defrauded the disconsolate
widow of his brother out of the
small estate left her by her husband,
leaving her dependent upon the cold
charities of tho world. The sister of
tho unfortunate widow is also an inmate
of the Leo county (fowa) poor house.?

takes in and protects, and cxultingly ,
proclaims that the hungry shall never ,

We have a celebrated juggler performing
in the city, who played an
amusing trick in a Broadway omnibus
this forenoon. There was a distinguished
literary gentleman in the stftge, with
whom he enlerod into conversation.
At length the literary gentleman pulled
the strap and wns about to get out,
wben the juggler tapped bim gently on
the shoulder:
" Excuse me, sir," said he, " I doubt
not you nro an honest man, but I perceive
you have'one of my gloves in
your pocket." And greatly to the gentleman's
surprise, he pulled ono of his
gloves from an inside pocket, in which,
wi course, ne adroitly placed it without
the gentleman's knowledge.
" llad I have taken one," replied the
gentleman, " I should have taken both."
M Yes," replied ihe juggler, " but I
see jou have my pocket book as well,"
whereupon ho also took that article from
the very bottom of the astonished gentleman

at receiving an epistle from a lady

dumbfounded. It was a strange

the superscription, Rev. , as plain
as could be. In the course of the day,
however, the mystery was cleared up,
and it appeared that the fair correspondent

The Land That's Not Bern Skiw
nbd.?Hon. Wm. Smith recently administered
a rtterited castigation in Congress
to Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, for unjust
reflections cast upon Virginia:
M I tell the gentleman," said Got.
Smith, *' that I doubt whethor there is a
State in the Union marching forward in
such great strides in all material improvements.
I go further, sir. I represent
a district where, instead of the
land being skinned, we hare soil so
strong that a bullock of one thousand
pounds can walk over it, after a week's
rain, and have no more mud on him
than a lovely woman's foot, encased in
a velvet slipper, would have on it aftor
walking round this Capitol. [Laughter.]
Let me toll the gentleman, furthermore,
that we have an amount of wealth,
in our State, which gives to every man
an averago of one thousand dollars
greater than the averago in the Empire
State. I presume that the average
in that gentleman's own State of Ohio,

that the South can vote for. An opportunity
for doing Litis was presented at Charleston,

Convention, with the impression that
the rights of the Southern States were not

was refused them, and they cannot now go

Mr. Editor?For man)- years past our District
has been represented by one to whom
wo always looked as the speaker of our delegation.
No matter what issue might arise,
we felt that, with him at the head of the
delegation, our District would not want for
a man to stand up before tlie LegislntuiSs'.
And now that our champion has voluntarily
retired front the contest, it becomes us to I
enst about us for one who may wenrhisbelt
with the same characteristics as his predecessor.
First, and foremost among those was an independence
of all outside pressures; and
after this followed an eloquence of speech,
an honesty of purpose, a liberality of soul,
a conviviality of nature, and an industry of
pursuit.
Among our rising men, there is no one
who combines these characteristics more
fully than Mnj. II. LEETHHUSTON. Born
> and raised among us, and inheriting these
characteristic features from a long line of
ancestry, these facts should be sufficient guar
antees to us tiiat lie sails under no false eol s,

Let us hope, then, llintlic will consent to

.livcrsally manifested in him, may place

notice of the completion and proof-trial
of a dry-dock at the Austrian war station
in Pola, on the Adiiatic?constructed
by an American Engineer,
John S. Gilbert. Tbe trial seems to
linve given universal satisfaction, and
the admirable working of the dock elicits
general admiration and praise. Tbe
dry-docks at Pola are five in number,
and each one is capable of receiving for I
repairs a screw lino of-battle ship or 120
guns. Tbey have all been constructed
on the plans and under the.direction of
Mr. Gilbert as Engineer and Director,
assisted by Natb'l S. Wing, Also an
Arherican, as in Aster carpenter, and by
Hamilton E. Towle, a young engineer
of New Hampshire, of much ability.
They have occupied about three years

of war-ships than any system of
dry-docks at any of the other naval stations
of Europe or of America.
