Two Cittzen!i of Ter.re Ilaute Sltot Down.

A Dastardly Outrage. It our painful duty 10 chronicle one of the most dastardly outrages ver comnitted in our ci y that of two quiet and peaceable citizens being shot down like dogs by a roan appointed? preaerv 2 the peace and to prevent others ironi committing a similar crime. Ou Tues

day afternoon, July 6th, about 2 j o'clock, C. W. Brown and Major 0. 1 J. Smith, editor-; and proprietors cf the Saturday Evening Gazette, were shot by Erwin D. Erney, a day policeman, under eiroumstauces of the most atrocious character. Major Smith was rotivrning from dinner to his office, and just as he passed MeKeen & Minshall's Bank, Erney ran "up behind him and dealt ; him a blow upon the lack of the j head with a "billy." This is a j weapon carried, we believe, by all j policemen, and with v.hich one well directed blow upon t.he head is sufficient to kill a ma,n. Stunned and bewildered by the blow, Mr. Smith ran out into the street, Erney followed him up and before reaching the opposite corner struck several other blows. By the time both ;

reached the corner,

men

near

Cornelius and Haggerty'e store, Mr. Smith had succeeded in drawing a j small pistol, and deliberat?ly walked towards Ernev, the pistol directed I

at mm. craey jumped oenina a lamp post, and drew a navy revolver. Smith attempted to shoot, but his pistol missed fire. Erney then fired, and Smith fired a moment alter, the shots being nearly simultaneous. Erney's shot took effect in the fleshy portion of Smith's right lag, the ball gong clear through the leg, and was found inside his pauts when ;hey were afterwards taken off. In mediately on firing, Erney started across the street in a south-easterly direction ; bus on reaching the middle of the street, started back for his hac.

which he had dropped. At this moment Mr. C. W. Brown reached the ground, aud seeing Erney going in the direction of Smith, dcubdess supposed he was going to renew the attack, and walked tovard him with outstretched arms, seemingly endeavoring to tvtop him ; when Erney, only three or four feet from Brown,again drew up his pistol an ! fired, the ball tak:ng effect in ttie upper portion of the right breast. Erney was arrested a few minutes after and lodged in jail, where he now remains. The immediate cause of this bloody affair was the publication, in the Gazette on the Saturday Srevious, of a communication, reecting upon the man Erney, who is a day policeman. On Monday Erney called on Mr. Smith for the name of the author, and was told he would confer with the author and give an answer on the day following Tuesday.) Erney called again on the same evening and sone high words passed between the two; Erney asserting that he would take measures to obtain legal satisfaction. The next intimation Mr. Sriith had of hostilities was the unexpected assaultof Tuesday afternoon. Ten-re Haute Express. From the Terre Haute Express, July 7. Tuesday's Tragedy . Elsewhere we give, with till practicable accuracy, the shocking details of one of the mos; awf il tragedies thai; has ever occurred in this State. Two worthy and respected c'ttisens, gentlemen enjoying the confidence aud esteem of the entire community, against whose fair names no reproach can be brought, have been shot down like dogs, by a "guardian of the peace," on the moat frequented street of the city, in the broad light of day, and while quietly attending to their legitimate business. There is no circumstance within our knowledge that can palliate the horrid crime. It is a dejd that shocks the moral sense of every man who has a nature above that of the baser animals. If such an act may be perpretrated here, without uniting every honest voice in the city, in one prolonged, earnest shrunk ot righteous indication, we have mistaken the material which surrounds us. Doubtless there are many circumstances that have conspired, to make tmch a crime as this, possible bore. We have not time to enumerate or discuss them now, but will mention what we believe to be the most important one of them, to-vit: A growing couvifclion,a feeling a mounting almost to absolute certainty, that criminals may secure immunity for their crimes if they can bul make influence with certain potential parties. The people are losing confidence in the operation of the machinery designed by the law to brinj; criminals to justice. Lawless men se others commit deeds of blood, ant

get whitewashed by juries, and they attempt thetsame career. It is but the natural result of a palpable cause. We are drifting upon dangerous cruising ground, and tho time is not far distant, we fear, when even good men will conclude that criminal trials ty jury are not a safe reliance. Lei the man who l as done this deed of blood, have a trial by a jury of his countrymen, and lot it be understood that it m;M be a trial, NOT A EAKCE The Treasury Dep trtment has received information of the seizure of 12,000 boxes of su;iar at New Orleans, the owners of which attempted to put il or. the market without paying duties and revenue taxes. The seizure, which was made on the 1st instair, i? entirely independent from the seizure reported by the Associated Pr?3 dispatches. It is estimated that the Government will realise from the seizures in that ci y, since the new officers appointed by the present administration have assumed control, more than a million dollars.

It may seem incredible, but is

nevertheless true, that the small pox wras communicated to William Ireland's family, under the following circumstances : About, six weeks a.;o,some of the plastering in the house fell down, and with it a bunch of old rags, which emitted a very strange odor. Mrs. Ireland and one of her daughters examined them closely. A week or over afterwards, the daughter broke out with the small pox, followed soon after by Mrs. Iceland, and successively thereafter by evey member of the family excepting one daughter. Some seventeen years ago, the small pox prevailed in the same house, and it is supposed that some of the clothing then worn was stowed away behind ti e lathing, and plastered up, and thus led to communicating the disease at this late day, to the present occupants of the house.

Death of Chahx.es Speak man. The daily papers hav3 i:ht- following advices from Cubi. : "A number of filibusters, who landed from the schooner Grar.eshot and subsequently fell into the hands of the Spanish troops, had been executed." Among the names of these unfortunate men, we deeply regret to see that of "Charles Speakman, of Aurora, Indiana." Poor Charles! he was well known to mast of our readers, having been born in Dearborn county ; and being a son of the late Stephen S. Speaknian. Mr. Speakman was about thirty years old, and some time since married a daughter of one of the prominent citizens of Aurora. He had a wild, roving disposition, and being in New Orleans, joined a Cuban expedition. Lawrenceburg .Register. The Coafederate Bondholders in England, ire a jolly set. They held a meeting on Wednesday week, and resolved that their prospects were brighter than ever, and that a court of equity would doubtless decide in their favor, and compel the American Government to redeem their worthless paper. The jollity an.il good humor of these Britishers overcomes one's natural '.lesire to condemn tbem as idiots. As long as they live they will realize in a striking mariner what Sir Thomas Campbell denominated "The pleasures of Hope." "Mark Twain's" Experience in Vieksburg. At dinner yesterday, I helped myself to a piece of pumpkin pie. The gentleman who had been so obliging as to amuse me at an expense of seventy-five dollars, observing me ea; the pie, rose from the table with a heavy frown on his

face. When I had nnisned my dinner and walked forward to the Social Hall, he approached me with a drawn Bowie knife, and sternly demanded of me where I w as from. I told him after a slight hesitation, that I was born in Albermarle co., Va., that I wits a nepiew ot Colonel . He then, said, "If that is the case, sir, you miy continue to itivo ; but, s''r, I thought you must be a d d Yankee from the way yon ate that pumpkin pie, aud in that case I should have regarded it a$ a duty to my sountry to cut your throat." I thanked him very politely for the high regard he manifested for the place cf mv birth and family

connections. He then asked me if

I took part in the rebellion, I said yes. He inquired on which side. I replied, on both ; that I was visiting a relative of mine by the name of John M. Botts at the time the war broke cut, and that J remained there until the war closed. He seemed satisfied with my answer,

and asked me to introduce him to Gen. Blair. He told the General he was the first man he ever voted for that he had fought against ; that the south could never have

been conquered if he Col. Jay Hawker I think he called himself had been in command. He had lost very heavily by the war. I think he said he had lost an uncle, a nigger, a watch, and thirty dollars in Confederate money.

Judge Broekins, of Xew Mexico, was Postmaster of Sante Fe, but suddenly found himself turned out. He went to the Postmaster-General to ascertain the cause. "Well," said Cres.vell, with his usual frankness, "all I know about it is this: General Sherman went to die President and said he wanted a place for an army offieer, who was left cut in the cold by the consolidation of the army. The President inquired what sort of a place he would like to have. Sherman replied that the t ffieer was now in New Mexico, and he would like to be Postmaster at Santa Fe. Grant said he believed the place whs filled. 'Put him out,' said Sherman, in his impatient, manner, 'he's some political bummer, I guess, and my man is a soldier.' 'All right, Sherman,' said Grant, 'I'll do it.' And so he did." 46?" Burnett's flavoring Extracts, for sale tit Fee & Wylie's Provision Stoic. mm The Powki: of the Press. The Rev.

But there is a pulpit that new has no limit it is the press. The.-e is, literally, the voice of one that cries in the wilderness; for all across our populous land, out into the Territories, and to the very Pucfic ocean, the daily papers speak ; and there is not, in modern civilization, a place of power that can compare with tlii.s."

I drenched it with the following mixture: spirits of turpentine, 11 o;:., laudanum, 1 oz., warm water, A pint. It proved a

4 Vve Plain Quostioms ftr Frew Tr:lru. 1. If the present tnriif is "prohibitory," or in other worrU, prevents us buying what we wmtfrom

foreign countries, how doc t eonie that we do buy about $700,COO,000 j worth of merchandize more than j

we sell of our products, during this year of grace 18G9 ? 2. If the "enormous and grinding taxation" we are now paying to "monopolists," or in plainer terms, the customs now raised on foreign imports is "g'.inding" our people into "poverty and want," why is it that a constant stream of immiarrants

will come from nations now enjoying free trade, to our languishing, tariff-cursed country ? 3. If free trade were declared to-morrow, and foreign manufacturers permitted to compete in our markets with our own, would not fabrics made by European workmen at titty cents a day, drive those made by, American workmen at two dollars and fifty cents a day, out of the market ? 4. When the American manufacturer finds himself undersold at home, by those engaged in the same business at Leeds, or Manchester, or Cornwall in England, must he not either discharge his hands, and close his mills, furnaces, &c, or reduce the wages he is now paying to his employes ? 5. Must not the mechanics, under this state of affairs, either stop work, or submit to the reduction, or find something else to do? 6. Do the free traders want the workmen of America to work follower wages than they now get ? Or, if not, do they want them to give up skilled labor (and so lose the years spent in learning a trade) and work at agricultural pursuits? 7. W ill not our country under free trade, which must inevitably destroy her manufactures, become absolutely enslaved to the countries which furnish us with everything we need, from a fork to a steam engine, and will we not, when declaring war against England, for instance, or she against us, experience some difficulty in the way of getting cannon, muskets, &c ? 8. How do you propose to pay coin interest on the bonds, which we solemnly proposed to pay, when you have destroyed the only source of coin revenue we now have, or

or can have, until we resume specie payments ? m mm Cattle Disease In Illinois. In a recent case in the courts of Illinois, one Walker sued one Davi for the value of certain cows, which, he alleged, died from disease communicatee! by a drove of Texas cattle, driven along the roid bv Davis. The jury rendered a verde for plaintiff. The Hon. John Went worth, a

practical stock raiser, writes to the Chicago Tribune, and defends the verdict of the jury. Mr. W ntwortli descrioes the disease in Cook count v, aud is sure that the disease is not only infectious, hut that it is carried f-om point to point upon the air. He is not aware of anv ease where an at.imal once attacked with the disease recovered, The frost prevented the further prevalence of the disease, but it did not cure those that were attacked. He explains the process taken to protect his bulls. Pure carbolic acid was put in their water and grain, and other stock treated exactly as his bulls Were, with the exception of the use of the carbolic acid, were stricken and died. Mr. Wentworth says that when the frost is on the ground the stock sellers and feeders may have their Texas or Cherokee cattle, but the other months must be given to the breeders and dairymen. That is the requirement of the law, which, if not enforced, he insists v. ill kill oil the native stock of the State.
