A Policeman Shot --—Excitement Among the Butehers.

* , New- York, July 21. Eugene Anderson, a Metropolitan Policemen, was shot dead early this morning by an Italian burglar whom he had arrested. —Anderson was formerly a butcher, and when the murder-became known among the butchers, terrible excitement ensued. They attempted to get possession of the prisoner, and determined to hang him to a lamp-post. The Police finally succeeded in safely lodging him in prison. A Chance for the Spiritu alists The Boston Post gives the following practical turn to spiritual controversy : “We offer a reward of five dollars a day to any rappers who will not move the table in our dining room, but cover it with a dinner for five persons at 3 o’clock p. m., each day in the week, and then quietly withdraw while we and. our interesting family devour it. This shoving round empty tables does no good. Meat, meat is the thing.” Can’t Swallow Negroes Whole. —The Wilmington Herald, a staunch Republican paper in Illinois, which has swallowed all the other isms of the party without a bone sticking in its throat, has not the anaconda-like property of gulping down “ negro equality,” though covered with the saliva of “ brudderly ” feeling and mock philanthropy, previous to deglutition. The editor says: “Whenever negro suffrage becomes one of the planks of the Republican platform, we shall feel free to seek some other political organization, and we think we should find most of our Republican brethren in the same way.”

A Picture of the “American Part?.” —Humphrey Marshall describes the American party as “a broad and quiet river, that takes its noisless way through the plain, diffusing fertility and beauty on all sides, and losing itself only in the expanded ocean of the nation’s weal!” An ex-Know-Nothing friend of the Louisville Democrat says that, according to his experience, it is like a county road he once travelled which, at the start, was broad and plain, straight andsmooth, promising a pleasant journey and speedy arrival at the desired goal, but soon be - gan to twist around fences and wind through the woods, becoming less distinct at every step, until, at last, it ended in a rabbit track, and ran into the ground. Did’nt Like It.— A negro boy the property of Mrs. Morgan, returned to Augusta, Ga.,a few days ago, from Boston, after an absence of eighteen months. He became disgusted with the Northern Abolitionists, and returned to his mistress of his own accord preferring slavery and something to eat to freedom with starvation . _ _ The Pacific Wagon Road. — The Interior Department regard it as certain that the wagon road to the pacific by the Southern route will be so far completed as to be used by the emigration .as early as the Ist of January next, add that the other (more Northern) road will be in the same condition as early, if the season favors the work upon them. The Indians of the plains, by the by, predict a late fall and open winter.— There is a vast difference between the climates upon the northern routes designed to be opened under the act of Congress to that end—a difference of perhaps three months of working seasons, we apprehend.— Wash. Star. Washington, July 23. Official dispatches were received to-day from Kansas including a letter from Walker defending himself from Southern stricture, and detailing the eondition of affairs at Lawrence in justification of his present conduct. Ex-Gov. Wright, Minister to Berlin, arrived to receive instructions, and will leave for Prussia the first of August. - —-—a.- .-r AST The issue of Gov. Walker’s proclamation grew out of a committee on the part of the cities of Lawrence- framing for submission to the popular vote a city charter essentially differing from that granted by the Territorial authorities. This action Walker pronounced treasonable, and has ordered a body of troops to prevent further proceedings and enforce the law. The statement that Walker desigtis, through this movement, to keep rfhd army in Kansas as a pretext for the administration to back out of the Utah expedition, is mere speculation.
