THE

New Albany Ledger give3 this ac

count of a terrible tragedy at Spencer: On Saturday night last we learned the •particulars of a most desperate transaction which occurred at Spencer, Owen coma#, this State, on Saturday morning. It appears that, on Friday evening a most (desperate character, named John Rose, while drunk, visited the drug-store of Dr. William Senix, and without any provocation, commenced a tirade of most abusive language against Dr. S. and another party who \va3 present. I he

Doctor bore his conduct for some, time, and at last was forced to expel him from his store. This.enraged Rose to such an extent that he" drew his revolver and commenced firing upon the Doctor. After shooting five times without hitting him, he left and went to his home. That night Rose, before he had recovered from his drunken spree, was married to a lady to whom he had been for some time eni:l .gaged. "HI

On Saturday morning, a writ having §U been sworn out for the arrest of Rose, a Deputy Sheriff, with a posse of three men, P-t proceeded to tho house of Rose for the purpose of making the arrest. Upon arriving near the premises they found there were several men in the house. Rose met them at tho gate and told the posse not to come any further, that if they did they would do so at their peril. He then drew his revolver, and made ready for a fight.

The Deputy Sheriff and his party approached for the purpose of making the arrest, and Rose commenced firing. His ,fire was promptly returned by the Sheriffs party, and one of the shots taking .effect in "the body of Rose killed him almost instantly. One of Rose's shots took

held a large and enthusiastic meeting on Tuesday night, and appointed a committee to make arrangements to celebrate the ratification of the 15th Amendment. They passed a serie3 of resolutions expressing their gratitude for the emancipation from slavery, and resolved it to be their duty to stand by the Republican party, and vote its ticket, so long as it remained true to the principles of the Declaration of Independence. They congratulated the members of Congress upon the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, and declared that but for the provisions imposed by Senator Morton's amendment, it would not have become the law of the land. They concluded by indorsing the wisdom and economy of the National Administration.

Lafayette Journal says Judge Pui-

dee and architect Brown have returned from their trip East, the fruits of which will ere long be seen in a handsome de: sign for the coming Agricultural College building.

IS proposed to remove the machinery of the Nail Works, now in Terre Haute, as they can be employed there only a portion of the time, to Indianapolis, where they can be kept running constantly.— Ind. Sentinel.

The proposal originated in the Senti ne office. It would doubtless be a good thing to have nail works where their product could be used in nailing the falshood" perpetrated by that paper, but the works in this city have done exceedingly well here and the proprietors have no wish for a change of base. Such machinery is operated by steam, and that fact would be an insuperable objection to Indianapolis as a location. A city that startles the country, every few days, with "a terrible and fatal boiler explosion!" can offer no adequate inducements for such a transfer as the Sentinel proposes. Nailmakers have, in common with other men, a desire to avoid sudden and violent death.

Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad

Feb. 9.—The horrible

cruelties practiced on board the ship James Foster,-a year ago have found imitation. Eight sailors belonging to the crew of the ship Neptune, which arrived here from Liverpool on last Saturday, have preferred chargcs against the captain and two mates, for the perpetration of the most atrocious outrages upon them. Their statements read like a page out of the history of the black hole of Calcutta. The complainants are natives of different nations, two of them Americans, and there is no evidence exhibited of malice or collusion on their part.

DIED.

Matt Green, a well known sporting character and Republican politician who kept the Opera saloon in this city, died at his residence in Thompson street yesterdav.

ASSASSINATION HOAX.

The board of police Commissioners propose to make an investigation into the circumstances attendant on the publication of the assassination canard, which appeared in several of the evening papers on Saturday, so far as the police are concerned. With this end in view Superintendent Kennedy has obtained from the reporters who gave it out for publication, a full statement in writing of the manner in which they obtained it.

The greater portion of the morning hour was consumed by Mr. Morton in speaking upon tlie neutral relations of the United States. Mr. Morton said Spain had lately fitted out in the harbor of New York thirty gtmbftata, and publicly procured crews for them in the streets of that city, for the avowed purpose of subjugating the people of Cuba to her rule, the most despotic and inhuman known to modern times. We had knowingly furnished ships and sailors to put down the efforts of a neighboring people •with-whom we were on friendly terms, and who were fighting to free^ themselves from the despotic yoke of Spain. He insisted there was a difference between an attempt at revolution of a colony forming an integral part of a. Kingdom, and a like attempt on a distant colony.

He then referred to the magnitude of the contest in Cuba, and depicted its revolting incidents, asserting that war had been carried on with a murderous cruelty that emulated the horrors of the French revolution, and indicated that tho Spanish character had lost nothing of tlw ati sious and satanic barbarism by which it was distinguished in the war in the Netherlands. Our silence was in marked contrast with our former professions of with people struggling for liberty and natural rights. Moreover the Cuban insurgents were struggling to abolish slavery, while Spain would perpetuate that institution in the Island.

Viewing the Cuban question from an American standpoint, he said Cuba was as entirely included in what was called the Monroe doctrine as though she formed part of the main land, and the possession of Cuba by Spain, being hostile to our _i* ii k«f tliaf viawm atinnln

sion was to be regarded by the Unit States in the light of sufferance or toleration, rather than because of any extension of valid title.

The Census bill was taken up. Mr. Anthony, on leave, made a statement in support of his bill to reform the public printing. Beferred to the Committee on Printing.

Mr. Trumbull, from the Committee on Judiciary, reported a substitute for the House bill to admit Mississippi to representation. The substitute declares simply, without preamble or conditions, that the State of Mississippi is entitled to representation in Congress.

Alan from the same committee with amendments the bill to change Judicial Circuits.

6th Circuit—Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Western Virginia. 7 th Circuit—Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. 8th Circuit—Minnesota, Iowa,-Nebras-ka, Kansas and Missouri. 9th Cicuit—California and Oregon.

The bill further provides that Justices of the Supreme Court shall be residents of their respective circuits, and vacancies now or heretofore existing in said Courts shall in every case be filled by a resident of the Circuit.

"WINDOW FAST."

This is decidedly the best and most important invention of modern times. Its simplicity and wonderful adaption both'for HOUSE and CAR WINDOWS is perfectly astonishing accomplishing everything that can possibly be desired, and yet being cheaper than any other window fast. For house windows it dispenses with weights and pullys. operating equally well on top and bottom sash, allowing either to be raised or lowered as mnch or little as wished to secure ventilation,and vet bo locked seeurely at every point,from the'intruder or burglar, and will never get out of order. It has the peculiar element of locking itself in whatever position you leave it. For uteam. or horse car windows they are finished in a variety of styles, making an elegant finish to the ear windows, and the only arrangemont ever introduced that can never fail.

The House Fasts fbr sale by all Hardware Dealers. Liberal inducements to Agent*.£• Send for descriptive circulars and prices.
