EVAXSVILLEj IND. XTEDNESDAT MOKNINU.... MARCH 81 The Trial of a City Officer for As sault and Battery. Esquire Walker's office was filled on Monday evening by a crowd attracted to the spot by a report that tho City Marshal was to ba tried for assaritr and battery upon tho person öf one of the Sat urday night" ristew." ' Mr Seyabaf ap peared for the' prosecution and Mr. Fos terfor the defence. The evidence es tablished the facts that a crowd of law. less persons had taken th Neptuno fire enprine over the canal far the purposo of "washing out" a disreputable house The Marshal was on the ground for the purpose of suppressing the riot, and with the assistance of ethers succeeded in preventing the outrag. One individual who seeuied to be taking an active part in the row, wa3 arrested by Marshal Martin, at the suggestion of the Mayer and inarched off toward the lock-up. On his way, the prisoner kept his hand in one of his pockets, and the Marshal suspecting that he was armei, ordered him to take his hand out. lie refused to do so, and the Marshal struck him. This was the cssault complained of by the plaintiff. The jury after being out a few moments rendered a verdict of "Not Guilty." We have before U3 a long and well - written defence of Marshal Martin. Had we the space to spare this morning we would gladly pnblish it. But Mr. Mar tin requires no defence. Ho had in his custody a man who had been taken in the commission of an unlawful act, and if ho had reason to believe that the man was armed and might attack him any moment, it was his duty to prevent the occurrence of such a contingency. This he did and nothing more. Men who take part in such disgraceful acts need not complain if they get into difficulty. There are no words sufficiently emphatic to express the meinness of the act contemplated by the mob last Saturday eight. It was a cowardly, unmanly at tack upon, defenceless women. Such loathsome dens and hot beds of vice as the one attacked on Saturday evening, should be abolished; but let the regularly and legally constituted authorities consumtnate the end. The citizen, except in self-defence, is never warranted in taking the law into his own hands, and he who does so, must cot complain if exposure and obloquy overtake him. : Lamb's Confession The following is a confession of the murder of his wife, made to the magistrate before whom he was examined in St. Louis, on Saturday. I was married to Sarah S. Lamb at the Court House in Quincy, III., in November, 1856, by a Justice of the peace. I did not take my wife with me to Mendo ta, but left her with her father in Hamilton. I went in November to her father's house to remove her for the purpose of going South to spend the winter. Myself and wife came to St. Louis, ar riving on the 27th or 23th or 29th of November. We got here before daylight in the morning, and look breakfast and dinner at King's Hotel. We left King's Hotel and went to the Astor House, on Franklin Avenue, kept by Harmon Norp. During the time I remained at the Astor House my wife was unwell. I had physicians attending on her Dr, Christopher and Dr. Washington. Her sickness was caused by my giving her poison strychnine, obtained on Broadway. I bought the poison for the purposo of giving it to her. I think I cave it to ber twice. My intention was to destroy her life. I went forphy sicians to keep the people in the house from suspecting. 1 administered their prescriptions. I think she recovered from the effects of the poison I had given her. She vomited up the poison before the prescriptions were administered, I think. It must liave been three or four days after we arrived at the Astor House m . m saa that 1 gave her tne poison, öüe wa3 confined to her bed as much as two weeks. About the 17th of December we left tha Astor House, the sun being per haps two hours mza. 1 tola her we were going down the river to Carondelct, We left the Astor House in a baggage or express wagon. Nobody but the driver went with us. My wife seemed perfectly willing to eo. We went down to the lower ferry landing. I do not know who the driver of tho baggage wagon wa3, nor tho number of his wagon. I think the driver was a colored man. We went into a little room on the ferry wharf-boat. There wa3 a young man on the landing, and I asked him if my wife might sit in there; he said she might. I told two boys to bring me a skitl'. We staid there until the boys came up with the skiff. I paid six or seven dollars for it. Wc had been there about an hour before the boys brought the skiff. We went down the rivjr and stopped below the steamboats- about fifty rods, where a levee or street is built out towards the river. I stopped to get a weight, telling my wife it was to put in the bottom of the boat to keep it steady. Two boys brought a stone apiece. I did not get out of the skiff My real design in getting those stones was to sink tho body of mj wife. After gettiug the stone3 we went on past an. islanJ, without any tree3 on it, on tho Missouri side. I did not see Carondelct at all. I did not notice more" than one island of the kind spoken of. We went down the river about half way of the island, on the .-ct s?r!f near the channel where the stcamtioaU run. It was getting consid pmhlv dark. It was rather on the Mis souri side, about forty or fifty yards from v cn Tho k team boat cnannei is between tha Illinois shore and where we were. When we got there I put my hand oa the back of her neck ana pusned h. head down under the water, keep.- , under tho'' water about twa lain-

utes. bho was then dead caused by

my holding her head under the water. I took her shawl off, and bonnet, and tied a twine around the stone two or three times, and attached it 16 her neck. The twine was Irom lour to six ieei in length, between her neck and tho stone. I then lifted tho stone over ttie skiff and she dropped right down. The stone' was a little larcer than this book, (Revised Statutes,) ten ortwelve pounds in weight. I got tho ttfhic or cöVd for the purpose of usinjr it thai. 1 then got out on to the island and shoved the skiff.qut Jnto the s'ream . I then halloed for some one to com and take mc off the sandbar, halloed about one hoar and an old coun trymanr a German, and another came and took tuo off. It was getting dark when I threw my wife overbord. I de signed drowning her when we left the Astor House. My reason for causing iwl lt satisfiAd T could her death not livo happily with her. She had never done or said anything to cause me to feel m that way. 1 had neitner hincr or wwaru . .

her relatives. I felt as though 1 coulü ; " r . V, notgo back among my neighbors with hfic a theme, to admit of so early a disher, because I was afraid they would position of the question.

think I had married one below my station ir lifo, at tho island I After getting ashore carao up to the city, it bem? about a o'cIock wnen i arrived. I staved that night on Broadway. I left here the next day after, and went to see her parents, taking all her baggage except what she had on. I told her parnn f riirl hnrifd liar in MemDhis. and I VUIMV A " - W I " rr triPm tha names of doctors who attended on her. 1 represented tnat l nad buried her in Memphis because I wantcd to screen or cover up the true facts. I married again, on the 30th day of Dec ember, Louisa bhortlitr. At that time she did not know that I had previously been married to Sarah Stafford.' 1 married 60 soon after my former wife,s death, because sb would not wait for me any longer. I had kept company with her along in the Fall before I married my other wife. 1 can offer no ex cuse for murdering my other wifo than for tho purpose of marrying this one. 2Iy nresent wife was not cncienle before I married her. If there is a virtuous wo man in the world she is one. 1 had no criminal intercourse with her before we were married. I have made a con (es sion in which I stated there were two men with me in tho skilf when I drown ed my wife. That statement was false; this one I am making is a true on3. Two men knew of my desijrn before it was executed, but not a great while before, I told them of my intention and asked one to assist me in tho matter, lie exnresscd hia willingness to do so out of friendship. He went down alone to the His name is Josiah Moyer, who yeas boarding where I lodged the night I came back. I paid a a W . m m m . f I him ., l tninic, lor assisting me. lie knew iny intention at the time I went to the river. I wanted him to co with me in the skiff at first, but we changed our minds about the necessity of coin?:. The other man's name is Joseph Sawyer. 1 cannot sar where he ts now: ha wa3 in Mendota the dar I left, there. I told Mr. Moyer, after the deed, that ever thing had gone under. Those were the words I used. I have endeavored to make a frank confession. I onco left the church. It is the transgression of my duties towards my God which has brought mehere aad brouzht this on me. Lamb made a pause of some minutes between the last sentence and the prece:h ho exhibited much emo tion, laying his head upon his hands, and shedding tears. Before that, his relation was calm, deliberate and compos ed. More Filibusters. It seems we are to be disgraced by another Fillibuster expedition. There is but little confidence to be placed in an Administration that will permit such wanton violation of its Neutrality Laws, a3 is done in the fitting out and carry ing on of these marauding expeditions. Foreign nations, regarding our govern ment in the light in which it restrains and checks the lawlessness of its citi zens, will conclude that we are fast drifting back to the days of Morgan and the freebooters of the Spanish main. Uol. Lockndge, of Nicaragua notoriety, is fitting out a "peaceful emigration" expedition to Northern Mexico. The Fillibu3ters claim for this expedition the support of "some of the most influential citizens of the country."

Minnesota Bill is principally in reference to the number of Representatives to which the new State will be entitled whether she shall be restricted to one Representative, in accordance with the enabling act and an imperfect official census, or be allowed more, in- accord ance with elections of the people and unofficial reports of populations.

The Editor of the "States," in re sponse to an enquiry of the Montgomery (A'.a.,) Confederation, expresses the opinion, formed at tho time of his connection with tho "Union," under the Tolk Administration, that the reason of Santa Anna's return to Mexico, with the con sent of our Government, pending our late war with that country, was that he might frustrate a scheme that was on foot between the Monarchists of Mexico and the Cabinets of France and Spain, to establish a Monarchical Government in tho country, and place scions of the royal families of the latter two countries on the new American Throne. Gex. Duff Ghees, in a reminiscence of a column and a quarter in the States asserts that Senator Nmian Edwards o Illinois, was the originator of the Mis souri Compromise, instead of Mr. Clav. Sekatoh Green, of Missouri, from his prominent participation in tho late Kansas discussion in the Senate, is now looked upon as the leader of the Admin istration party in that body.

Ulcer a nd Eruptions, all arise in disordered deposits from the blood. Billions diseases aud fevers are caused solely by its deranged unhealthy state, and even the decline of lifef cdlows the wint of vitality in tbe blood. In view of these facts Dr-Ayerdssigned his Cathabtic Pills especially to purify and Invigorate the blood, and hence we believe to' arise its nnparalelled success in controlling disease. ptediraf Journal. . mrtl dfewlm

8t OO-PBOCtAsifiiTlOSI.-To ttic'SlaVor or Phlla4elpM-Thecrres made by Prof. DeQraUi with Dr. Straight' Eloctric Oil. are so near miracu lous as to resemble the famed bcripture accounts of similar cures in ancienl times by th anointing with oil, and these cures are so wonderful and instanta neous, so satisfactory in mitigating of human KU as to call upon the public funrtJcnarijs, and thosa having charge of the public institutions for the sick and the suOering, to look into the well attested merits, the sim ple efficacy of this 'Electric Oil. Prof. Deörath, therefore, proposes to deposit tlOO with the Mayor, the same to be forfeited if the Electric Oil sold at 39 South Eighth street, fails to cure a single cae of Rheumatism or pains in the bade or limbs. Piles, Sores, Burns, and Ile&darhe, or to re move aU soreness or swelling la from fire to 20 mux utes, If applied to any patient male or female In the almshouse or any public Institution of the city. mr3l-d&wlw Mexican Mustang Liniment. From rich and poor, bond and free; all colors, grades and conditions of life, we hear the same meed of praise awarded this wonderful article. Sores are healed, pains relieved, lires sared, Taluable animals made useful, and un told ills assuaged by this great medicine which are sur prising to the judgment of man. What family does not require a standard Liniment. Who ever heard of the same e fleets produced by any other article! For Cuts, Bruises, Sprains. Rheumatism, Swellings, Strained Horses, Lc , it has no equal. Bkwabk or Imitations. The genuine Mustang Liniment is sold by ail respectable Druggists and Livery Men in every towm parish and hamlet throughout North and South America, Europe and the Islands of the Ocean. Buy at once. Dew are of any other 'Dragg's Liniment.' It Is abase imitation. BARNES ft PARK, mar31-d&Wlm Proprietors, New York, Dues any of oar High Livers ever eat too moch dinner? If any of our readers have cooks who tempt their appetite a little to far, I will tell a secret that will lead them to the enjoymentof their dinners without a visit from Uiat gouty old gmtleman Dyspepsia. Take a doss or La. Sakdfobb's Invigobatob aftkb KATIKG, AKD TOV WILL NEVER BE TROUBLED WITH Ikoigkstiok; bat on the contrary, before the next meal time approaches the appetite will be sharpened to appreciate any Kina oi woa. 11 tne looa rises or sours, the Invigora:or will fix the matter at once, for there is something in it that, to use the expression of a friend, will let a man eat gravel stones, and take the Invigorator and they will digest. We hare tried it in dsuble doses, on one or two occasions, for sick headache, and It acts like a charm. What wa want to say to our readers, young or old, Is, if anything ails you, go without tie lay and get a bottle of Da Sandford's Isvioobator, and if it don't cure. come and tell us, for we want to see one person that It will not benefit. (See Advertisement') marSO-d&wlm Hostette r'a Celebrated Stomach Bitter, for Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous or Chronic Debilityare very pleasant hi taste and smell, and ean be taken under any circumstances. In cases of Dyspepsia it acts like magic, strengthening the tone of the stomach, stimulating th digestive powers, and giving ruddy health to the cheek, and la ightness to tbe eye. In all cases of diseases of the stomach, whether acute or chronic, it may be recommended for its soothing, cordial and renovating influence. Dyspepsia, heartburn, loss of appetite nauSce, nervous tremors, relaxation, debility, lc, are relieved by the Bitters in a very short epacecf time, and a perseverance in their use nsver fails to work a thorough cure. Kept at all the popular saloous, and principal drug stores. mrSl'd&vli Safety and Relief- Old Dr. II. James, abou whom the New York and other Atlantic city press have said so much, has retired from practice, but Dr Tho mas Tilton, his son-in-law, has been educated to trav el for him and dispense his invaluabl medicines. Most prominent among these is his extract of Canniabis In diea, which he discovered after hard labor snd deep research in Calcutta. He strove to make a medicine to save hs rdy child from death by consamptio?v and he succeeded. Dr.Tilton, his son-in-Liw, is In Chicago, (Room No. Ill, Stste street.) II has already sue cecdtd io Curing permanently, hundreds of terrible cases of Consumption, Nervous Debility and Suffer ing, Asthma and Bronchitis. The Colds and Coughs he hiis banished, are innumerable. The Caaniabis Indies is the most wonderful blessing of the age. Give Dr. Tilton a call or send for a bottle of medicine, which will cost you two dollars. He will prove ta you that you need not be sick, and that it will cost a mere trifle til mt Well. N .
