From the known precedents fn Kentucky justice, the public were well prepared to hear the unrighteous verdict, in this case, of "Not Guilty." "Dark and bloody ground," indeed! How long shall it be truly said of Kentucky that she will never suffer a rich man to taste the bitter end of the law Her rulers are not of that stamp of morality that will "by no means clear the guilty." Her own sons, who from abroad look homeward to their native State, cry shame The scene just enacted in Elizabeth town, is a shame, and such a shame as brings a sickening sensation at the very sound of the name of Kentucky. We denounce not without discrimination. Oood men and true live in Kentucky, and with burning indignation have they witnessed this glaring perversion of justice. But deliver us from that state of public morals which allows the aristocracy, by such deeds, to brand the name of the Stale with contempt.

What a different estimation must the world inevitably place upon justice in Kentucky, and justice in Massachusetts! The case of Dr. Webster, hanged in Boston for the vile murder of Dr. Pnrkman, is still fresh in the minds of all. What effort possible to be made by frionds and funds and standing, were left untried tc secure his acquittal, and after his sentence, to procure his pardon But Massachusetts laws, or rather Massachusetts Juices were equal to the occasion. Thoir moral stamina is not of that sort that wilts by the chink of silver, nor their sonsc of right, such as allows a vile murderer to go unhung because he is a fashionable villain. No matter. If Mat. Ward is a murderer, the name is consigned to infamy. Eighteen lawyers cannot remove the mark of Cain from his forehead, any more than the floods of the Ohio can wash the innocent blood from his conscience. That worm which he now feels dangling at his vitals will not feast long on living flesh,

O* Wolfe, tho Louisville attorney who spoke at the trial in defense of tho Wards, said that he had two of tho finest boys in Kentucky, and nobody should ever bo permitted to whip them. It is'such a sentiment as this which is underming the virtue of family discipline and neutralizing the sanctions of public law. Such is the gorm which sprouts out into profligacy, and bears tho fruit of bowie knives, pistols, ilung-sliot and poison, and goos to seed again ui,the acquittal of murderers. s? —magmas \'v

BT A desperate affray took place at Lafayette on Tuesday last, between the mate and a dock-hank on the steamer Alabama, for which the latter brought suit. A writ was sued out for tho mate, but, when the marshal went to make the arrest, the clerk of tho boat drew a revolver upon him. The mate was taken before tho Mayor, and then the officer and a posse went after the clerk, when a desperate fight ensued between the clerk, the pilot, and the arresting party, but the elerk and pilot wcro pretty severely beaten and then taken into custodv.

A NEW TOWN.—At the junction of the Chicago branch of the Illinois Central AuHixmd Tritli the main truuk ucnr Salem, a new town has sprung up called Centra• lia. Eighteen houses are built, and twelve or fifteen are going up. A Postoffice is already established there, and a writer in the St. Louis Republican says that the place exhibits more evidence of growth and prosperity than any other one-year-old town about.

Washington, April 521.—Commodore Newton arrived here to-day. He confirms the report of his refusal to salute the authorities of Cuba and the Spanish flag. He remained in Havana ten days. He waited to-day on the President and the Secretary of the Navy, who received him cordially, and highly complimented his conduct.

Capt. General Pezuela ha^ in his possession the roval decree emancipating the slaves in Cuba,^ut refrains from publishing it, in consequence of the state of European affairs. The Cubans, the Creoles especially, are ripe for revolution.

Washington, April 93.—It is rumored here that we may expect the early return of Soule from Spain, brimfull of war. It is said further, that with this expectation the Cuban Junta of New York and New Orleana are getting ready for an early descent upon the is* land, and that George Law'a mnakets are in tended for their nse.

Prealteel Pierce at Heme. A correspondent in New Hampshire, long a resident of that State, and a gentleman of keen political observation, writes to us: "We sober people of New'England are somewhat startled by the boldness of party throws in thepolitical game. Even the party drill of New Euunpshire proved unequal to the shock by the Nebraska policy. If we had been allowed a fortnight longer before election, the result would nave shown the administration party to be a comparatively small majority of the voters of the State. The political friends of the President begin to distrust his judgment. A few days since, I conversed with a gentleman, who was one of his most enthusiastic admirers, at the time of his election, who is a man too, of high standing, for his information and solid merits, who remarked that Mr. Pierce was not man enough for the place—that his friends here and in Washington thought that he had made a great mistake. The truth is that Mr. P. has been a brilliant tactician, and ao long as his operations were confined to the politics of the State, he was quite successful—though sometimes, even here his want of forecast led him into mistakes which wellnieh proved fatal to his political hopes.— When John P. Hale was so unceremoniously pitched out of the party boat, the agitation of the political elements was so great, that the craft with its pilot liked to have been swamped. When Mr. P. was placed in the Presidential chair, it became apparent to all careful observers that his political education lacked breadth. Witness his interference in State elections in New York, Massachusetts, «fcc.— Those who had known Mr. Pierce here, as a successful speech maker, and good talker and man of tact, supposed, that, coming into the Presidency unaer such circumstances, which, as it then appeared, left him free in the policy of his administration, he could not fail of eminent success. But they made the capital mistake of supposing that circ.umstances make tho man, and forgetting that the man, if he would be successful, must be able to wield the circumstances and shape them to bis purpose."

FATAL ACCIDENT.—An Irishman, named Patrick Scully, engaged in blasting rocks on the Terre-Haute and Alton Railroad, at tho Embarrass River, near Charleston, was blown up on Friday last, surviving the,shock but one or two hours.

GOLD.—A new panic of excitement lias seized upon the western world. Rich discoveries of gold have been made in the Valley of the Amazon, and crowds of adventurers are making ready to pour into that sunny territory from all parts of the Paciffc coast as well as Australia.

ID" The result of the Ward trial has excited a remarkable degree of indignation in Louisville. Wolfe, a Louisville lawyer, and State Senator from that county, was one of the counsel that defended Ward, and in his argument, was very 6evere and abusive to the people of Louisville, calling them among other opprobrious names, "a set of blood hounds." Our readers have noticed the manner of bis reception on his return to the city, in the handbill calling a meeting of the Wolfe bloodhounds and the discharge of forty dozen of eggs at his residence, and- the burning effigies of Wolfe and the Hardin county jury. The egg and the effigy part of tho business is not to be commended but this exhibition of popular indignation at the. glaring perversion of justice which has evidently occurred, is calculated to have a healthy effect, if it is not carried to excess. To say nothing of the reactive influence of this event, on the judicial corruptions of Kentucky, the arousing of public observation from every part of the country, will bring an outside pressure to bear, which will be likely to work a salutary effect.

CHICAGO. The Chicago Democrat, thinks the population of that city by the first of next January will be 100,000.— This may be a large expectation, but seems to be warranted by the astonishing increase within the last year—which was about 26,000 1 The present population is about 02,000. The incfease in the value of property has kept pace with that of the population. Sixty-three town lots, which between 1830 and 1833 were purchased for four thousand five hundred dollars, are now valued at over three millions, seven hundred thousand. The increase of taxes assessed for 1854 over 1853 is $80,000. The city has forty three houses for public worship and six large public school edifices, with an ample fund for tho education of every child in the city, free of charge.

A little more than two years ago, there was but one railroad entering the city.— There aro now fourteen roads and ninetyttoo train* a day entering and leaving the city. So much for a city yet in her teens.

Thomas, with the announcement of wnat it contained Capt. Thomas was scarcely aroused by it. He was not believing but faithless he said: 'Hayne cannot be answered it is of no use to think of it.'

Mardaref a. rtitM •nicer la CslaAhas, aai BMarf* Use Sariereri The city of Columbus was thrown into a good deal of excitemcnt early yesterday morning, by the report that one of her most effective police officers had been shot down in attempting the arrest of a burglar. The facts as we learned them from passengers on last night's accommodation train, are substantially these.

On Monday night number of bold burglaries, and very successful ones, were committed in the town of Newark in a manner that convinced the citizens that they had been visited by accomplished house-breakers from eastern cities. A few nights before, several houses had been robbed in Zanesville, and probably by the same gang. In Newark, the residence of Mr. Buckingham, and of the Rev. Alexander Duncan, among others were entered. So deliberate were the villains, that a silver fruit basket, and a silver urn were broken in the bouse to ascertain whether they were of piire tRetal and worth carrying off. Altogether tfcree trunks full of silver ware and other valuables were secured, and during the night conveyed to the village of Union, a sta(?otf Cta the Zanesville Railroad, six miles this side of Newark.

On Tuesday morning officers left rfffwark in search of the Burglars at Union Station, two suspicious individuals were observed putting three heavy trunks on board, they were narrowly watched and soon identified. After the train had got under headway the officers arrested one of the suspected parties, but the other—called by his accomplice Mr. Jones—drew a revolver, and threatening to shoot down the first man that obstructed him. teas permilted to past forty or fifty passengers to the platform, where he sprung off while the cars were making at least twenty-five miles an hour. The fellow lost his revolver and a good part of his left arm by the leap, but before the train could be slopped he made good his escape. When night came, he lured a boy to take him on to Columbus. The officers broke open the trunks, put in at Union Station, and in them found all the property stolen the night before in Newark.

On Wednesday another of the accomplices was taken, and cither from him or from the fellow arrested in the cars, it was ascertained that Jones Would stop at the Scioto House in Colutnbus, and that the bar-keeper Was probably a friend to the gang.

Early yesterday thomlng the officers from Newark, who had arrived in Columbus the night before, secured the nssistancc of JOSIAH BEKBE, an excellent police officer of that city, aud in company with several citizens, proceeded to the

the burglar hall, in his

the

Jones stepped out in to "stocking feet," again presented a revolver, and threatened to put a ball through the heart of any man that laid hands on him. So saying, he made a run for the hnll stairs, backing (ff all in his way, except officer Beebe, who resolutely sprang forward and caught the scoundrel by the skirts of his coat Jones without turning round, fired hir revolver over his shoulder at his pursuer, and shot him, the ball entering the side of the bead ahd entering near ihe oppositc ear. ,* ..

Beebe fell, as dead, and Jones, though shot at six times and probably wounded, ot out of the house and gained a swamp efore he could be overtaken. The news that Beebe had been shot by the burglar spread over town producing great excitement. In an hour more than a hundred armed men had surrounded the swamp, resolved to to take Jones dend or alive.— Up to the time the cars left, the pursuit wasunsuccesful, and it was even thought the villain had succceded in es&iplfrg from the swattip.
