FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1871.

Death of Hon. Thomas Ewfng. Hon. Thomas Ewing died at his residence, at Lancaster, Ohio, last evening. Mr. Ewing's nativity was Ohio county, Virginia. He was born on the 28th day of December, 1789, and was consequently in the eighty-second year of his age at the time of his death.

In 1831 he was elected to the United States Senate as a Whig, and was ever the peer and fast friend of Webster and Clay. He was prominent in all the great measures which came before/ the Senate during the six years he served, and was equal to the ablest in debate and inferior to none of the great men, who in tho3e days were Senators. At the expiratiou of his term in 1837, "Mr. Ewing returned to Lancaster and resumed the practice of the law. Upon the election of General Harrison to the Presidency, Mr. Ewing, who had been a warm supporter, was made a member of the Cabinet, occupying the position of Secretary of the Treasury, the duties of which responsible office he continuedL to discharge under President Tyler.

His first official report was distinguished by the advocacy of measures intended to diminish the National debt, one of which was the imposition of 20 per cent, ad valorem duties on certain articles. In this report he also attacked the independent treasury act, passed the previous year, and advocated the establishment of a National Bank. Mr. Ewing subsequently drafted a bill for the establishment of a National Bank, which was vetoed by the President.

The Department of the Interior having been created under the Administration of President Taylor, Mr. Ewing accepted the Secretaryship, and organized it. During his term of office he recommended several measures of public im* portance in his reports.

Mr. Ewing differed with Mr. Clay and others of his associates on the question of Congressional legislation on the subject of slavery. Mr. Clay contended that the question should be settled at once, and Mr. Ewing that the legislation of Congress was uncalled for.

The death of General Taylor, and the acoession of Mr. Fillmore, on the 9th of July, 1860, percipitated the question, and rendered the resignation of Mr. Ewing necessary. Hon. Thomas Corwin was appointed Mr. Ewing's successor, and Mr. Ewing was appointed by the Governor of Ohio to serve iu the Senate the unexpired term of Mr. Corwin. During this period he was an active defender of General Taylor's Administratton. He was opposed to the fugitive, slave law, the compromise bill of Mr. Clay, advocated the establishment of a brauch mint in California, the reduction of postage, internal improvements and various other measures of publio importance.

He did not retire to private life until 1851', when he returned to Lancaster, his old home, and resumed the practice of the law.' He was engaged as an attorney in many important litigations requiring the exercise of the highest order of talent, and always acquitted himself with distinguished credit. His ability as a lawyer was only excelled by his ability as a publio speaker and a statesman."

During the long and bloody war, Mr. Ewing stood uobly by the Government, but when the war was over, he was truly, and in fact, in favor of peace. He threw the weight of his great thoughts against the radical element of the Republican party, who in his judgment were attempting to subvert the Constitution, and stood boldly and defiantly by President Johuson, whenever he thought the policy of his Administration was in accordance with his Understanding of the spirit and genius of our free institutions. He denounced always the centralization of power which seems to be a coutagion at the Fedral Capitol, and argued with the power of a giant against it.

It adds nothing to the historic memory of Mr. Ewing that he was the father-in-law of General Sherman. His feme requires no prop but which he himself has erected no embelishment but that carved by his own hand.

A few days before he died he became a member of the Catholic Church, and died in the full hope of a bjessed immortality. Thus has passed away forever, one of the great men of this Republic, andone, too, who was great when there were giants in the laud.

Special Correspondence of the N. A. Ledger. SHOOTING AFFRAY IN CLARK COUNTY.

A Lively Skirmish Among the Denizens of Skunk's Misery. MUDDY FOKK, October 25.—A disgraceful and unfortunate affair occurred Saturday evening last, at Broom Hill, a small station on the line of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad, and distant from New Albany about fourteen miles. The day, it appears, had been set apart by some of the sportsmen of the locality for an old-fashioned country "shooting match," and a considerable crowd aissemblea to indulge in the pleasures of the occasion. The crowd, however, is said to have lacked somewhat in respectability and peaceful ten dencies, and, indeed, the manner in which the festivities were brought to a close seems to justify the assertion. The neighborhood generally is made up of respectable and well-to-do farmers, to be sure, but during the past few .years a little settlement, called sometimes "Buzzard's Roost," but better known as "Skunk's Misery," has founds lodgment among the knobs, a half a mile or such a matter east of Broom Hill, and it was of the lank and seedy spectres from this retreat that the crowd was chiefly compossed. The shooting match, however, progressed finely and many excellent shots were made, but throughout the day there appeared a very general readiness to "look upon the wine when Jt is red." A little "doggery," kept by a man named Jchn Stone, supplied the marksmen with the article for which they thirsted, and it was this shanty, with its had whisky, that originated the melee.

The rougher set attending the shooting match visited this den very often during the day—so often, indeed, that as evening came on they found themselves with a "wee drappie iu the e'e," but not a cent in the purse. Stone refused to credit them, out still they wanted "moje." They were, in fact, determined to have whisky, and threatened to take it by force if it was not given them. The mob became more and more boisterous, and fiually began to toss old casks and barrels about the grocery, with the purpose of driving Stone from his quarters. Stone, however, with several men who came to his assistance, tried to drive the gaugout, when a general fight ensued, in which chairs and billets of wood were used promiscuously. Finally, Stone, finding himself about to be outdone, drew a revolver and fired shots at the crowd. This caused a general stampede, but it only served to still further exasperate the mob. Hostilities were at once renewed out doors, and a lively skirmish ensued, in which squirrel rifles and pistols were freely used. The two parties dodged around fences and stumps, and indulged in some fifty shots at each other, but fortunately no one was killed. Several are thought to have been slightly hurt, and one man, a non-combattant, by the name of Henry Carr, received a serious wound from a rifle ball in the shoulder. In common with others in the neighborhood, on hearing the firing he had approached to learn the cause, and at the time he was shot he was leaning against a stump endeavoring to make out the situation of the parties. The ball struck him in one side of the chest, passed through and lodged in the shoulder behind, causing an ugly and dangerous wound.

These are the facts in the case, as nearly as they could he obtained. A very hearty indignation has been aroused among the better class of citizens in the community by this affair, and the parties engaged in it have naturally made every effort to hush the matter up. It will, however, soon be investigated by the proper authorities, and the parties dealt with according to law.

The wonder is that the fracas did not result in more bloodshed. But it was after dark when the shooting began, and besides, most of those engaged in it were too druuk to command the fine aim displayed at the shooting match during the day.

IKE COOK, of Chicago, who some time during the war, in which he was- a paymaster, sued the New York Tribune for libel upon his official course, has withdrawn nis action, which has been before the courts for many years. This is another illustration of the fact that libel suits against the public press do not begin to pay expenses. There is, as a general thing, no malice in the personal reflections of the press upon individuals, and if mistakes are made, they are will* ing and most desirous to correct them. To rush off and bring a suit for damages is a poor way of righting individual character that may have been aspersed. The American people are in favor of the freedom of the press, and to preserve it will pardon its honest errors and unintentional mistakes.—CVn. Enquirer.

All the papers in the city, the Times leading off, endorse the nomination of Mr. Medill, for Mayor, in the strongest terms. There will be little opposition to him. This is also true of Mr. D. A. Gage, candidate for City Treasurer, and Mr. Jameson for Judge of the Supreme Court. The balance of the ticket is subject to revision and amendment. There is an opposition organizing against the Union movement, but none to the gentlemen named above.

CHICAGO, October 26.—The Chicago Relief and Aid Society are having numerous inquiries as to what is most needed by the sufferers in Chicago at present. Many of the letters say that persons are desirous of contributing articles, who can not well send money. In reference to all such proposed contributions, the Society wish to say that nothing is so much needed now as beans, potatoes and onions. They are advised by their Sanitary Committee that they must have these articles, if they expect to escape sickness. They are informed that many farmers would be glad to contribute these articles, and they ask all persons who can, to ship either onions, beans, or potatoes, to the society. By a little co-operation, car loads can be made up at different places of shipment. The society are also in want of straw beds, of the ufhal size for two persons, and friends in the country are requested to furnish as many as they can. The ticking should be of strong material, and filled with clean straw or prairie hay. They are feeding and caring for over forty thousand people at the present time, with a small stock of vegetables on hand, and but little covering.

WIRT DEXTER,

Chairman of Committee.

The bricklayers and masons are endeavoring to form an organization, in which each shall pledge himself to work at an ordinary day's wages for the purpose of rebuilding the city. They also wish that each should work under the supervision of an architect, and not for contractors, as the latter charge exhorbitant prices for work and say that masons compel them to do so.

NEW YORK, October 26.—A Sun -special from Scranton, Pennsylvania, says Rev. Arthur Denton, the Ogtlensburg sensationalist, entered the Fifth Ward school house this afternoon, ostensibly for the purpose of. making an anti-Pop-ery speech.

Ienton was advertised to lecture this evening in Odd Fellows1 Hall, at Hyde Park hundreds of Irishmen congregated in the neighborhood, all determined to prevent him from uttering a word. The Chief of Poliqe prevailed upon Denton to immediately leave town. He left for Carbon dale, in a private conveyance, this evening.

The Rozenwig-Bowlby case drew a large crowd to the court room to-day. The trunk in which the deceased Bowlby was found, was produced in court. The accused looked pale and careworn.

Interview with-tin* Condemned Murderer Brooks. A special dispatch from N. B. Vickers to the Judiaoapolis Sentinel, dated last evening, says:

I have just had a long interview with the condemned murderer, James Brooks, who is to be executed to-morrow. He is a boyish looking fellow, and not badlooking eitner. He talks freely concerning the murder, admits his guilt, but declared that he did not mean to kill Slater. In answer to a question how he felt, he said loose and careless as usual and so he seems to be, not showing either penitence or depression.

The execution will take place at halfpast twelve to-morrow, in -tr small in closure-adjoining the Court House, and will be very private.

About two hundred ladies visited Brooks to-day in jail, to whom he talked freely, but the ministers who called were treated cooly.

Brooks is very bitter against the peo pie of Logansport, who promised to do wha£ they could for him in case he made a confession, but failed to even secure the commutation of his death sentence to imprisonment for life. The town is quiet to-night, but a great crowd is expected to-morrow.

I from the New York Era. Singular Story in Connection with the Lincoln Assassination.

A singular story is told in coiiriection with the Lincoln assassination, by Mr. William Withers, Sr., which has never been published. Mr. Withers has a son named William, who was the leader of the orchestra at Lina Edwin's Theater last winter. Both father and son were iu Ford's Theater at the time when Booth shot Lincoln. The elder Withers was one of the orchestra, and played the trombone. The younger had been seated in the parquet, but, just previous to the time when the fatal shot was fired, he left his seat and proceeded to the back part of the stage for the pur pose of speaking to some one thereon a private matter.

The two Withers were well acquainted with Booth, and he with them, the elder having played a game of billiards with Booth on the Saturday previous, the former losing the game, but. Booth, who would not permit him to pay for it, exhibited a thick roll of bills of large denominations, and iu a boasting way remarked tnat he had struck oil. After Booth had fired, and he started to retreat through the wings to the back entrance, he was met^in the passage by young,Withers, who Bid not know what had taken place. Withers was about to speak to him, but Booth made a lunge at him with a knife he had iu his hand. Withers dodged the blow, but it nevertheless struck him in the shoulder in an angular direction, and glanced off. cutting through coat, vest and shirt, ana

E[e

roducing a slight wound of the skin, then rushed out and mounted his horse. William Withers, Jr., stated these facts to Mayor Wallack previous to his examination, who advised him not to mention the circumstance of receiving tbe stab, and he did not do so. The elder Mr. Withers cannot imagine for what purpose that advice was given.

COLORADO has the credit of being the first to introduce a Complete narrow gauge railroad to the notice Of the country. The Denver people are jubilant over the successful working of a road of this description, 76 miles long, connecting that city with Colorado Springs. The success of this experiment will give new vitality to the numberless projects for three foot railroads now being agitated in different parts of the countiy.—N. Y. Tribune. a

HAIR VIGOR.

AIER'S

HAIR vigor

For the Renovation of the Hair! The Great Desideratum of the Age I A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or decayed. But such asre-^ main can be saved for usefulness by this 'ri application. Instead of fouling the hair -M with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.'
