Special Correspondence of the Sentinel.) Locistillk, May 19. The case of the commonwealth apiiust Dent Whips, proprietor of the Willard hotel tor the killing of John W. Stockem, bis huprintendent of the house, last February, was brought to a close ThurHlay night by the jury ren ering a verdict of not guilty. .This homicide created ' nrh an intense excitement at the time, and the result of the trial now being the theme of all elates, that a brief account of the facts may prove interesting. A few months before the tragedy occurred the accused had met with an accident which prevented him from performing the active duties of manager of the hotel, and he accordingly employed John W. S'ockton for that purpose, Stockton having had great experience in the business and nein well acquainted and universally esteemed for his many amiable qualities by the traveling public. Things worked along pretty smoothly until ladt January. when it is said Whipps became jealous of the popularity of his employe, (a fact which seems rather odd) and on more t'nari' one occasion applied rather rough langua-e to the deceased regarding the manner in which he performed his duties. This ill feeling continued to grow until it culminated in an open rupture on the morning of February when the parties met in the hotel office. It vrai at an early hour and there were no witnesses to the aßilr save thöse employed about the house by Whips. Stockton, it seems, had slept beyond his usual hour that morning and when he came down to the office was reproached in very foal language for his tardiness by Whips. Hot words followed, and the He and d d lie were given, when Stockton struck Whips in the face with his hand. Stock im attempted to draw a pisto', but was disarmed and the parties separated. Stockum, however, shortly returned in the direction of the office when he was met by Whips, wh fired three shots, when Stockton fell mortally wounded and died in the course of a few hours. Whips after the shooting was placed U'ider arrest and confined in the hotel parlor. Not even after Stockton died was he incarcerated in jail, nor in fact from the first has he ever been immured behind the prison gates. This tinheard of legislation created great excitement, as well it might, and now his complete justification of the bloody dted is equal to any judicial whitewashing to be found in the annals of crime in Kentucky, even in the murderer's palmiest days, when he shook his Moody fingers derisively in the faces of both judge and jury. But such is Kentucky justice, and the accused in this case had a perfect right to claim the benefit of the precedents established in similar deeds of blood. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FRAUD. 1 That idgantic swindle, the Public Library of Kentucky, by which millions of dollars were filched from a deluded public, bas at lentrth been exposed in all it rottenness, and the unexampled brazenness of its projectors and the venality of the Kentucky r.rss laid lare to the scrutiny of the world. The storm has been iniMidinr for some t;ine. and wis or.lv averted tlsroujdi the in fluence o( the mighty dollW The facts as now given were loni knociil.') ttte newspaper men of Iui.ville, hut fmm the incep tion of the thieving scrienm the pn-ss was -muzzled, and any inkling ot irrtularities was only to be mad. through the tueuum of foreign paiar. rti head and iront ot the enterprise. Colonel IV üben Durrett himself atone time a jmrnalist and proprietor of he old. lntville Courier," was shrewd enough to "fix" th pipers; and from the success of this po.itic stroke one is apt to have his confidence shaken in the integrity ;of Kentucky journalism. AH the citypaper were bought up by electing the promt neiit men-connected with them to the direc tory, and the rural press was willing to receive hush money in the shape of liberally paid advertisements. When" an editor evinced a disposition to kick in the traces his puny voice was instantly sealed tip with a good mouthful of legl tenders, and with a few gentle taps on the head he was di. missed, with the fatherly injunction to sin no more. Whenever an employe of the con cern allowed his curiosity to pry into the se cret workings of the board he was instantly promoted: and if he was unusually smart. and inclined to tell tales out of school, his superior intelligence and loquacity were re warded with a gratuity of a few thousand dollars. The whole scheme, from the begin ning to the present lime, was a well laid plan to roh the pnnlic; an. 1 from the devel optuents thus far in vie, and from those that wilt shortly follow, it will be seen that the interested iiariie were nt noviles in this line of business. The mere fact of setting aside an enormous pile of money (though it ; wotld seem a smaller portion would huve been equally as effectual) to bribe the press. 1 is of itself sumVient to prove that the origin ators of the cheme meant .to engage m an enterprise that would not bear honest in spectton.

It would till columns to tell how the president and his minions squandered the people's wealth no one koows how much, as there' are no bills, no books, no receipts.

in declaring the 22d of May a holiday, in imitation of the English Derby day. The ground of the protest, as set forth in the addresses and resolutions, was that horse racing tended to promote gaming, and popularized other species of immorality; that instead of making the occasion one of rejoicing, and rendering it sucn through the instrumentality of a formal proclamation, it should be discouraged and frowned down by Christfan reo L. This same word Christian," is the worst abused word in the lexicon, and in this case it is evident that the rueetinj? had forgotten that the chief executive, Mayor Jacob, who damns the jockey club with faint praise, is always a patron of free shows, cheap preaching and a cheaper charity. He takes all the daily papers

when he gets up ueiore tne man wuo lives next door. This meeting was composed ( with a few exceptions, and in these I in clude all the reverend gentlemen present) of a class of individuals who sees, every means of notoriety through the papers, and will jump into print upon the slightest provoca tion. They are eoraiuiy narrow mmueu uu selfish, and can see nothing but evil in things that appear innocent to me rest ?i me world. This is but an illustration of the average Louisvillian'a penchant for speech making and self "laudation, ine nue and cry against the races was raised by that Macbmehan blather skite, Blanton Duncan, who haunts the newspaper omces line an evu genius. He had not published a "card'' lor nearly a fortnight, and fearing the public might Ham tne impression . ne nan uieu auu ue would he comuelled to witness tne exquisite delight with which his epitaph would be. written, the idea strucK the tertne mmo oi the great confusionisf, and for the present he is in his element. Blanton never favors anv movement: he always opposes, but It is all one, as it lives or dies just as if he never existed. The whole affair Is a very suiy one and quite characteristic of Louisville that experiences a shock equal to that of an earthquake when she is compelled to move out ot the well worn grooves of fogyism. It is conceded that the council went Deyonu the bounds of its authority in proclaiming a - . . . . . holidav but then where is the necessity for any demonstration? Nodespotic power is given to that body nor couia any one against his will be compelled to close nis aoors ana iolllfv with a heavy heart. It is now in order for the Louisviliians to meei in con . . - Til. A . 1 vention and take immediate action on the illeeal. nniust and unmannerly conduct of other cities in taking away their trade, thus promoting idleness among the Main street merchants, who are compelled to pass their time in whittling on the tops of dry goods boxes and with devilish malignity squirting tobacco juice in the eyes of harmless ponies who amuse theraselve. rooting in the weeds and grass that sprout so cheeringly upon the thoroughfares. , THE NORTH AMERICAS BAEX6ERBCND. . The German musical societies of America, or a portion of them at any rate, will give a grand festival in lxvuisviiie, in JUiy, ana l have no doubt it will be a success provided the highly moral people will not protest against it for the. reason that it will tend to an unprecedented consumption of beer.' Eminent artistes have been engaged, among th. m Mme. Papptnbeiro, who bas created sucn a stir in .New York-musical circles: Clara Louise Reinman, of the lloyal opera of Berlin: Franz Keinmell atfew lork celeb rity. and Louise Itollwazer, of Cincinnati. The building formerly used as the industrial exposition is being put in condition for the festival, and will no doubt prove larg4 enousih for the 15,000 persons who composethe choru?. Cincinnati alone will furnish a mixed chorus of 800 voices, while New Albany and Jeffersonville promise, a hunured. . The German citizens aVe making strenuous efforts to render the all air sue nossful, and as they rarely do-things by a lives they will likely succeed, lndianapo .is will be represented by her leading niun cal societies. ' , ,- FOUR CARDINAL VIRTTES. Marat lUlstead, of the Cincinnati Com mereial; Sam Bowles, of the Springfield Re publican; Henry Watterson, of the CourierJournal, and Horace i hue, recently of the Chicago Tribune, are skirmishing around the blue grass region, but for what purpose no one seems to know. Some think they are framing a set of principles for a new politica party, others are of the opinion that tht y tre on a kind of a general sampling tour, while others confidently assert that they have formed a quadruple alliance for the purpose of agreeing upon the line of argument to be ued in advocating the propagation of the ennobling game of poker among the heathens. Whatever may be the import of this meeting (this crowding together to-be counted wise, as it were,) it will not cause a revolution or interfere with the European war. but it will be directly telt by the tern perance people, who will hail with deligh the rapidity with which the quantity of tha article is diminishing which causes a fellow to sport a red nose instead of a red ribbon It is not known how long the illustrious quartette will tarry, nor; whither they wil roam. TERMINATION OF TIU Ü. 8. COURT TRonULKS. In my last letter 1 gave you a brief ac count of the troubles existing between van otis Unit d States otlicials in Louisville, and how different parties were in Washington pushing the claims of their friends in order to secure for them the office of marshal and district attorney. I intimated at the time that the prospects were that both O'Neal and Finley, the present marshal and attorney, would be bounced, and that it. was probable that Britow men would be appointed in their places. It will be seen that I Hid not hit very wide of the mark, as O'Neal has already been fuperaeded by Colonel Crittenden, of Frankfurt, and Attorney Finley has received a letter from Attorney General Hevens notifying him that if his res gnation is forwarded to Washington it will be received without any undue shedding of tears. Finley, however, fails to take the hint and insists on being kicked out, and the Bogardus will no doubt be applied in a few days. - It is understood that Colonel Wharton, ex district attorney and lormer law partner of Bristow, will be reinstated. Thus it will be seen that Bristow has crept into favor with the administration, with an improvement in bis chances for the vacancy in the bench of the supreme court Thus the matter - stands, and the ex-secretary of the .treasury and his friehus are vindicated. i i , EPISCOrAI, COJfVEXTIOX. The forty-ninth annual Epiacope.1 convention of Kentucky is in session at rJt. l'aul's church in this city. Assistant Bishop Thomas A. Dudley presiding. The venerable Bishop llos worth uiiih is prevented from attending on account of the infirmities of age. The convention thus far has proved, a very interesting one and the sermons, lessons and other services are largely attended. The meeting will close its labors on the 2lt (Whit Sunday) when the services will be of an unusually impressive character. FASHI05ABLK WIDDIX0S. During the past week three bon-ton wedliugs occurred, the contracting parties being Mr. Charles F. Smith, of the firm of Newcomb, Huchanan it Co., and Miss Antoinette Diiiforth, I slighter of J. L. Dan forth, Ksq.; .McW, O. (Iamiltynand Miss Sallie G.lay, da ii .filter of A. ,. (izlay, Kd'i , and Maj-ir Hancock and Miss Lfzzie It. Walker. The presents on each occasiou were very numerous-arid costly. All the parties move in the tipper circles of society, and these brilliant

weddings following in such rapid succession will no doubt lend encouragement to many golden lads and lassies to go and do likewise. ' ' 1

THE RCES. The. ppring meeting of the Louisville ockey club wiil commence next Tuesday and continue six days. Some of the very finest racing stock In the country are en tered, the grounds are in tip-top condition, every arrangement is being made for a successful and exciting meeting, and consequentiy tne sporting iraternity are in juuilant spirits. It will be unwelcome news, however, to the turfmen all over the coun try when It is made known that the great race between Aristides and Ten Broeck will not take place, the former not being in con dition to run. New York and other eastern papers have contained very confiictiüg reports regarding the condition of Aristides, but his owner, Frice McGrath, of Lexington, has informed the r resident of the jockey club that it is impossible in the animal's present condition to enter Ihe race, and this of course settles the matter defiaitely. It is thought that Mr. Harper, the owner of len Broeck. will allow that thoroughbred to run against time, an if he does past racing records will be lelt in the snane. visitors are warned to be on the lookout for sharpers of every kind, as the city is crowded with thieves, gamblers, and confidence men irom all quarters. i A 6HABBT TUICK. . The Sunday Argus a few weeks ago re ceived a contract from the city council to publish the official proceedings at the rare of 34 cents per square. This bit of lurk in favor or the aobatical sneet womea so Keenly npon the envious nature of . George V. Doern. the proprietor of the Morning Anzeiger and the Evening News, that he was determined to defeat it. He accordingly went to the mayor and offered .to publish the proceedings gratis rather than the Argus should receive them. The mayor vetoed the resolution, but the council manfully passed it over his head, and Ilothaker and Gardner, the evea of the Argus, are consequently in their glory. As both of Doern' a papers do the city printing he should not have inter fered with what the Argus was entitled to, and tv doubt needed. .. But Doern has been a pensioner on the city so loDg that be can not brook the idea pi any one eise getting so much as a pinch out of the treasury, . and this uneentlemanly trick will not tend to enhance either his pecuniary interests nor his social standing among gentlemen, it n pleasant to reflect that this envious disposi tion is not common to the craft,' and that these isolated cases meet with universal censure. Ron Roy. , Charlie Rosa. , Mr. Christian K. Ross in a letter to Mr. Neff, in regard to the York county Ross-Snyder boy, after expressing his regret at Mr. NefFs disappointment, states that he was not disappointed, as be had not expected it was the boy. He then gave his reasons. ,The boy did not resemble his ideal of Charlie; he had been carried off by New York men, and he could not expect to find Charlie with any but the criminal classes, and he did not know as far as he could gather that the Snyders belonged to that class; besides that, he could not expect strangers to recognize bim, and he expected the boy to be able to remember about himself, etc. In his letter to Mr. Young, he thanks him for the interest he has taken, and then states that he has received a number of copies of the Evening Dispatch from his ottlce, and some from the authorities of the city of Philadelphia. He says that a number of letters have been re ceived by the mayor of Philadelphia, from Erorainent citizens of New York, who still elieve the boy to be his son, and who are not satisfied with tni- brief examination. "Before I. went; to . the, depot : to see the child," says Mr. Boss, "I felt sure the boy could not be .mine.... I confess that I might be mistaken in 'recognizing the child after so long a time his passed." Mrs. Boss he describes as interested and anxious concerning this child. We think that he is . mistaken about the child yet being with thieves. When Mosher and Douglass were killed it was certain that the child was still living. It is equally certain that after that he-was not killed, for no one would have dared to put him out of the way, nor could they have had any motive for it. Some day, and we speak almost with prophetic gift, the child will be restored to his parents, but it would be pitiful, indeed, if, even as Evangeline, in Longfellow's poem passed and repassed her lover, almost touched htm upon life's great highways, and only knew : him ' when the angel of annunciation stood by his bedside these parents should pass by their little child, hold him within their grasp, rele se him because the years bad changed his appearance and sealed his memory, or he was found in an unexpected place, let their treasure slip from their clasp, and go back to the desolation of hoping. God forbidl We do not wish to make Mr. Ross trouble, but of this we are afraid. The Snyders can not show where they obtained the child; in their family record every other child's birth is registered, but not this one. When Mr. Ross Hods his child it will be in an unexpected place, not among thieves, for they no longer have use for him, but in just such a place as this. A gentleman who has seen this child, and who has known Mr. Ross for years, says that he resemtles him in many resects. ' a. Mention of large earnings on the stage leads to a word about the present pecuniary condition of the widow' of the late Janu s Hackett, the famous Falstaff, who was supposed to have left quite a comfortable fortune. The present Mrs. Hackett was her husband's second wife, since his death she ha had to struggle pretty hard for a living, notwithstanding the report that Hackett had left considerable property. She went on the stage some time ag and tried to be come an actress, but as bhe never learned the business, of course she did Lot succeed. A few days ago the only property of any value that her husband had left her a house and lot down on Front street was put up at auction under foreclosure. . The property cost Hackett $23,000, and it wa mortgaged for $14,000, so not a dollar remained for the widow. Captain Sir George Nares has received permission from the admiralty to publish at his own expense a narrative of the recent Arctic expedition.
