Prohibitionists hare nomim aeeparate ticket. thus playing into the hands of the enemies of temper ance.. The Pittsburgh DuipaUi publishes an interview with Senator Sfcwart, in which he is reported to have baid that his course in the coming cm paicn, will depend largely on the conduct of the State Convention, and the character of its candidates, and that the same is true of the ma jority of the Independent Republi cans' and the Philadelphia Pecord states that Chairman McKee will call the Independent State Conven tion together soon after the 11th of July next, when it will determine whether to indorse the State ticket nominated by the Stalwarts or not These announcements are intend ed as a menace to the coming State Convention, which we hope that body will have the good senss to to tally disregard. Let the delegates -.r,; in accordance with the at the last rn-,ntion. nominate the candidates designated by a majority of the body, without knuckling to any sore head leaders or would be "bosses," and adiourn. The Republicans of the State are in favor of unity, and in no humor to endure a repetition r 4V,. irirVerv of last campaign. They will not submit to the thimble -Heads. I win, tails, w" Honast men will feel themselves bound by a decision of the majority of a convention wmcn they voluntarily enter, and in whoss rd;nirs thev participate: trick- eters will not The latter may de feat but they cannot coerce the par ty. Give us a fair Convention and . itA ticket, and we will agree to take the chances, despite the efforts of a few disgruntled politicians who assume to dictate to the party. "Served him right," is the almost universal comment on the killirur of Dakes by young Nutt And yet, while Dukes undoubtedly deserved death for his crimes, the manner of ,;- wh was not rieht. It will not do under any circumstances, to ad ; tK.t mv man has the right to rt as iud'ee. jury and executioner in hit own case. Dukes was a doubly damned villain, but his killing by oune Nutt is not justifiable. If ev er any man was excusable for taking the life of another this young man is. A more maddening provocation cannot be conceived. The fair name and fame of a beloved sister blight- ed a father murdered in defense of fh Vinnor of his child, a shameless miscarriage of justice in the acquit tal of the defamer and assassin, the constant presence and bravado of the bloody wretch who wrought these crimes, was a provocation to exact atonement, scarcely to be resisted by any man, but still, the law says that the act of this grief maddened lad is ronnW and in our evmpathy with him we mu6t not forget that the law is our only safe-guard and sure ref use. Tut yourself in his place, and you feel that you would have been less ; than a man not to have done as he did. In your innermost heart you cannot condemn him, and yet, the law must be respected and obeyed, or chaos has come again. It was the miscarriage, or violation of the law that brought about this latest tragedy. Had Dukes been cony icted, as he should have have been, of the murder of the father, the son's life would not now have been in jeop ardy, and the hearts of the wile, mother and sister would not be wrung with a double sorrow. We hope, earnestly hope, for the deliver ance of this lad from the last dread itenaltv of tiie law, but we must not close our eyes to the fact that he de liberately, and with intent, and not in the hot blood of a struggle, fired upon and killed the man lor whose death he will be called upon to an swer. The killing under the circumstan ces, cannot bo justified, but it may be excused. We do not believe the lad can be convicted in the commu nity where he was raised, and where all the facts in this dreadful double tragedy are known, but it is undeni able that James Nutt in thus aveng ing his sister's dishonor and bis futh "er's murder, has placed his own life In fearful peril , , - Arm an exhaustive trial manioc through six months the "Star routs conspirators" have been acquitted by jury of. the country. The news papers that tried the case and eon- victed the defendants in advance, are now busily denouncing the jury because ft did not agree with them. This thing of trying cases in the daily newspapers and villifying Ju rors, sworn to do their duty, because they do not find verdicts to please the scribes, is last becoming crying evil, and is rapidly sapping public confidence in tike only method known to the law of obtaining final result. In this case, . the Government', em ployed the best legal talent it could -command, and laboriously end ed to convict the men believed to have wronged it, but the jury ,the sworn ar biters of the facts presented, decided .that they were not sufficient Co con vict. Their fading was accepted by 4he court, and it should be by the public Had the jury failed to agree, had they been irreconcilably divided, there might have been ground to charge that a portion of them had been tampered with or bribed, but it is not consonant with fairness or common sense to assume that the entire twelve men were corrupt, were tampered with, and are perjurers. We do not assume that the defend ants were guiltless, but it is only fair to the jurors, and right of itself, to assume that the evidence was not to their minds eumcient to justify a verdict of r "guilty.", - If, after cases are tried in eur courts, the verdict of newspaper scribblers, or bar room juntas, are to be accepted, in prefer ence to the findings of twelve men who have sworn to conscientiously perform their duties, then the sooner courts and juries are abolished, and disputed matters of fact and of law are relegated to debating societies, and township meetings for discus sion, the better will it be. But if the law, and the decisions of the courts and juries are to be respected and enforced, the current, ribald, irre- ponsible newspaper clamor of the day must cease, ' LIFE FOR LIFE! N. L. DUKES SHOT DEAD BY CAPTAIN BUTT'S -YOUKO SOU, JAXXES. He Avenges Hii Sister! Hon or and His Father's Death. There comes a report from Har- risburg, that an adjourned session of the extra session, will be found nec essary. This is a feeler of public sen timent, presumed to emanate frem official circles," and is said to orig inate in a struggle between the Wal- ace and Cassidy wings of the Demo cratic party, who are manoevennz for the United States Senatorship. t is suggested by those interested that, the Congressional and Judicial apportionment bills can be passed in two or three weeks, and then by an agreement to disagree on the Leg islative apportionment bill, the pre text will be afforded for an adjourn ment over until January, when an extra session can be held, after the ay of the land has been ascertained bv the November election. We trust that no Republican will be a party to this scheme, if there be such an one afoot There was no valid reason for calling the present extra session. The pretext of the Governor, that it was necessary be cause of the failure of the Legisla ture to adopt the apportionment bills, is too thin. If after a session of more than one hundred and fifty days members failed to agree, what probability is there that they will come together by being forced to re assemble in extra session ? If the differences were irreconcilable then, they are none the less so now. Each party declares it has conceded all it will concede, and we assume, neither can be coerced to yield against its matured judgement. ' Speaking to Republicans alone, we advise that they stand firm. In our judgment, everything was con ceded that should be for the sake of an agreement,and to yield more now, will be to shoulder the responsibili ly and expense of this utterly use less extra session. Upon Governor Pattison and his advisers the responsibility now rests. Let it remain there. Ihere are no Congressional, Legislative or Judi rial elections to be held this year there was no emergency requiring Executive interference, and the ar rogant assumption to the contrary, deserves to be rebuked. At all events, Republican members cannot afford to, and they will be denounced if they do place their party in the wrong, by yielding to Executive die- dictation. This is a question higher than mere party politics ; it is question of the right of conscience, and he is a slave who will yield his conscientious convictions to dicta lion from any source. Ukiontowa, June 12. This even ing at about 7:25 o'clock James Nutt, eldest son of the late Captain A. C Nutt, shot and killed N. L. Duke, who on the 24th day of December last killed Captain Nutt Dukes was standing in front of the Jennings House when the evening mail arriv ed, a few minutes before 7, and he remained there talking to several men, and was apparently in a very fine humor, as he was laughing and conversing in a free and easy man ner at the time above stated. He started down to get his mail, the postofiice being only a block from the Jennings House. Thepostoffice faces en Pittsburg street and the building in which it is located stands on the corner of Main and Pittsburg streets and has been known ever since its erection, which was many years ago. as the " Round Corner.

I ankle and the one that missed him altogether, were picked up by per sons about the poetoffice. Dukes was dressed in a neat sun of cutaway dark clothes, single breasted coat and soil black hat He carried, as he has always done, little ratan cane. His collar was a high one, around which was tied a narrow black cravat' Bis body will be left in the room at the Jennings House until after the inquest is over to-morrow morning. The barbers are now at work laying him out When he fell his foredead struck the floor with great force and made an ugly bruise.

In this room near Main street stood James Nutt, and when Dukes reach ed the spot or got a little beyond where be stood, isutt opened hre on him and shot him twice in the back, immediately in the rear of the heart Dukes started on a dead run, pur sued by Nutt who again fired three more shots, two of which took effect in the back, only about two inches from the first two, the fifth and last striking him on the left ankle as he was going up the postofiice steps. Dukes then had two steps to go up into the office, and when he reach ed the top one he fell forward on his face. There was an immense crowd of people standing around on the out side of the office, and they ran in every direction, for fear of being shot The fifth ball only grazed the eft ankle and glanced off and went through some of the lock boxes. A number of persons rushed up the steps when Dukes fell, and at the same time Policeman Pegg ran for ward and caught Nutt who made no resistance whatever, but said to the officer, "Here, take this." Where upon he gave him his revolver. THE BOY COULD NOT HELP IT. Pegg Baid to him? "You have done a bad piece of work." Nutt replied, ies; but 1 could not help it" Ineomcer took mutt to jail and Dukes was carried to that same old room in tbe Jennings House where Captain Nutt was killed by him, and which he has occupied ever since. Coroner Sturgeon arrived on the scene of the shooting and took charge of Dukes' body. He lived only about half a minute after being shot tbe last time. A friend of his was at his side, he tried to speak but could only mutter something so indistinct that it coulh not be understood. He evi dently knew who shot him, for he turned around when the first shot was fired and looked at Nutt while he was firing the second shot and then ran. As soon as Dukes was pronounced dead by the Coroner, he was taken to the room where he killed the fath er of this boy who killed him. The Coroner then empanneled his jury, which consisted of Andrew J. uu more, foreman, Geo. C. Marshall, Dr. L. S. Gaddis, John N. Dawson, W. H. Miller and H. H. Hosknev, Jr. After the jury was sworn it was decided to poetpone.the examination of witnesses until to-morrow morn ing at 8 o'clock. THE ARRE8TI!ra officer's stort. One witness, however, was exam ined, and that one was Officer Pegg, who witnessed the shooting and ar- rested Nutt He testified that he was standing on the opposite corner and saw Dukes walking down street and Nutt in the room of the '"Round Corner." When Dukes passed by Nutt shot twice. Dukes looked around and then ran. Nutt then ran after him and fired three more shots He (Pegg) then ran after them and caught Nutt just after he had fired the last shot Nutt made no resis tance, but handed bim his revolver, saying : "You take this." He told Nutt he had done a bad piece of work. Nutt replied : "I could not help it." This was the only witness examin ed to-night The jury then proceed ed to examine the body. Dukes' coat was first taken off and examin ed. lhe pockets contained some papers, which were not touched. The back had four bullet holes in it on the left side. The vest contained nothing of any importance, and the holes in. the vest corresponded to those in tne coat , A WALKING ARSE5AL. A dirk knife was found hanging to the suspender button on his left side, where he could grasp it in an instant with his right hand, and in his right hip pocket was found the very identical revolver with which he shot Captain : Nutt The dirk knife was ready for a close encounter and the revolver for long range. Many thought that the revolver used by Nutt was the same one his father bad at the time Dukes killed mm but it was not It was a Colt 32 calibre and not so large as the one his father bad at the time of his death. All these things were taken by tbe Coroner. ...,. On a later examination of the wounds it was found that three of the balls and not " four penetrated his body. They are so close togeth er that a ring four inches - in diame ter will cover them alL Two them went clean through the body and could be seen iust through the skin, on tbe right side of the breast and tbe stoer as near tbe mid die of the breast as could be. : This one tract urea a no, iueae oaui were pulled out and tbe holes probed by tbe Coroner and his father, Dr. W.

The two balhr. that went through to the breast and were er traded are also in the hands of the James Nutt was taken to the ; jail by Officer Pegg and surrendered into the hands of Sheriff Hoover, who immediately locked him up be hind the huge iron bars. ' When Dukes shot Captain Nutt he was treated to the best room in the Sheriffs mansion and had the run of the house, but this poor boy, who was driven by madness and daily aggravation to do what he did, ib confined behind the bars and given the commonest kind of prison fare. The shooting had scarcely taken Elace until the whole community ad heard of it and people rushed to the scene of the tragedy by hun dreds. The Coroner was on his way to the postofiice when the shooting occurred, and arrived there just be fore Dukes expired. It was all that dozen men could do to keep tbe immence crowd away from the body. The were one or two cries of "Stand back and give him air," and many were the shouts, "He needs no air! , Let bim die ! . "He got what be deserved!". The inquiry along the street was, "Is he dead ?" and when the reply was, "He will have to argue his own ease at the bar tie has gone before now." the avenger not blamed, The case to disbar him was to have taken place in chambers on Friday of this week, but that unpleasantness will not have to be gone over again. he universal feeling is that James Nutt did perfectly right Only a few days ago be went home, and when he met his mother he said to her, Mother, I met Dukes on the street to-day, and he looked at me and aughed. ilis mother than tried hard to get him to promise that he would bot do anything to Dukes, but he told her he would not ta!k to her on the subject Several of Nutt's friends went up to the iail to see bim, as also did Messrs. w.

Boyd, the attorneys tor tbe prosecution in tbe case gainst Dukes for killing Captain Nutt They found him walking around in one of the corridors of the jail, and by that , time he had calm ed down and talked cooolly and pleasantly. THE AFFLICTED NUTT FAMILY. Uniontown, June 13. Mrs. Nutt was visited at her residence shortly after the shooting, by several friends and relations, and noitned of it bhe and her daughter, Miss Lizzie, were in the room together, and they were very much anected. Both gave way to tears, but said nothing. It is not a great surprise to either of them, as they feared something of the kind would sooner or later happen. JNear- y every day his mother would talk to him and tell him to do nothing to Dukes, but he would sot talk to her at all about him. .Several lady friends will remain at .the Nutt ree idence with the double grieved and stricken family, through the night James Nutt was visited at the jail by many triends, to whom be spoke kindly and seemed perfectly at ease. About the shooting he would say nothing. He kuew be bad fatally shct Dukes, but he was anxious to know whether he had shot anyone eles or not When told that no one elso was hurt but only Dukes, he seemed quite relieved and was more easy. . , i .1 Telegrams are pouring in here from all sections congratulating the people on tne riddance ot Dukes. ; Many telegrams have been receiv ed by individuals from New York, Philadelphia and other cities, from prominent men, saying to draw on them for any amount of money nec essary to defend James Nutt , Tbe town for about an hour was in great state of excitement but now midnight all is quiet and the people have gone to their homes. Those who upheld Dukes in his killing ot UipU ; auu, and encour age him to parade the streets in dandy style, are to blame for his sudden deatn. A ' gentleman re marked the other : day, as Dukes went down street "There goes walking assenal," and those remarks were true. The family at the Jennings house is in a state of great excitement and all the doors leading to the streets are locked and no one except the Coroner and his jury were allowed to enter. James r eatber, the pnncina witness in tbe late Dukes case, was in his room iust across the hall from Dukes, but aid not go over to see his dead body. ; . Just before Dukes left the bote; for the postofiice he received a tele gram, and after reading it be shrug' ged his shoulders and then prome naded down street for tbe last time.

Crook's headquarters,- at Silver Creek, Arizona, bringing the first official information of Crook s expedition. It left United States soil on the 3d of Mav, marching, two hundred miles southeast from San Bernardino, on the boundry line of lbibuanua and ctonora, following a trail or the bostiles. Crook was guided by an Apache named Nad aski, who was captured near San Carlos .just previous to tbeexpedi tion leaving. At a point about 200 miles south of tbe line tbe com' maud crossed the . Sierra Mad res range, advanced fifty . miles over in indescribably rough trail, eight mules being . killed by falling over precipices, and passed on without delay. The men were 'rendered nearly barefoot bytheshtrp recks. After fourteen days' bard marching lionite were discovered in the heart of the Sierra Madras in an almost impregnable position. ' The Apaches aid not aream oi an attack, tor en trance to the stronghold was next to impossible, and tne warriors were principally out on a raid under Juh, only . thirty-seven bucks being in camp with the women and children. AN APACHE CAMP CAPTURED. The San Carlos scoots, under Cap tain Crawford and Lieutenant At wood and Mickey Free, chief of the scouts, surrounded the camp before the hostiles were aware of their proximity. They advanced from different points. The scouts secret ed themselves behind the rocks and commenced firing upon the camp, creating a perfect panic A number succeeded in escaping, though nearly all surrendered. Seven were found dead in the camp and five Mexican women and a little girl were re captured. They were Uken from carmen and , Cbibuabua and are now with. Crook, in good health Everything in the camp was burned or carried off by the scouts. Among tbe property captured were 100 ponies and mules, forty being loaded witb plunder, saddles, girdles, clothes, gold and silver watches, and several thousand dollars of gold and silver and greenbacks, showing they i j i t . . i naa Deen very Buccessiui in tneir raids. . After the fight the most of those who escaped came in. Alto gether 303 prisoners were taken. The chiefs captured were Chatto, Bonito, Geranimo, Nachez, Loco and Nana. Tbe two latter were long reported dead. The chiefs say an American boy, six years old, captured a month ago in New Mex ico, is with the squaws in the moun- tains, ne is no aouot ciianie wc Comas. Runners were sent out and he is expected in hourly. After the fight the command with prisoners are now encamped on Silver creek, about sixty miles south of Tomb stone. JS ot one of Crook s command was lost during the campaign. 1 be troops stated that the place here the capture occurred is the prettiest spot on earth and the road leading to it rougher than mortal man ever trod. Large numbers of the hostiles seemed pleased with the situation, evidently expecting an immediate return to tbe ban Carlos reservation. The only complaint was from some squaws whose bucks were among those who made their escape. THI INDIANS COMPLETELY SURPRISED. The '' officers of the expedition stated that General Crook had sur rounded : the Indians before they were aware of his presence, and that if he bad not done so it would have taken six months and all the men in Arizona to have captured them. As an illustration of General Crook's modesty and the total ab sence of fuss and feathers in his make-up, it may be stated that al though the fight and capture oc curred on the 17th of hist month he leisurely retraced his steps to Camp Supply, at 8ilver Creek, not sending a courier ahead to signal bis move ments, lhe first intimation had, of Crook's return was tbe arrival of a lieutenant at Colonel Biddle's bead- quarters at 8 A. M. Sunday, with dispatches from Camp Bowie, the nearest army telegraph station. Upon making inquiries concerning the General, who was supposed to be one hundred miles distant, in the Sierra Madres, imagine the surprise that awaited tbe camp when inform ed that General Crook was only, two hours behind, with tbe captured Apaches.
