Tbe Lonlevllle Courier-Journal of the 14th
lost, r-ays: . ,
And tbna faded away the golden dreams of
Mr. Obnmacbt. Instead of gettinf; 110,000
damages, be has gotten one cent in money and
one year s Imprisonment In tbe penitentiary tor
his flgnrtcr in our courts of justice ot late, lie
will take it bard, of course, bat it can't be
helped. Two Juries have officiated la his case,
and no doubt these Juries thought they were
giving Mr. Obnmacbt his deserts. (Joe of
them gave Mm a cent in cash, and the other
gave blm a place in the State's prison for
one year. During the year of his incar
ceration he can muse upon the differ
ence between 110,000 and one cent. He will
need no money while at Fraukfort, fot they
btard prisoners there free of cost as long as
they remain. He could have no use for the
10,000 damages In his prison, unless, as face
tioubly remarked by the counsel for the defense
in the argument of the case, it had been his pur
pose to establish a kind of aristocratic way of
living in the Bute's Prison.
It is not likely that the result of this litiga
tion will fall to convince Mr. Ohnmacht that it
does not pay to bring suits for libel against
newspapers!. It is a very difficult thing to get
a judgment against a newspaper for an article
published in tbe way of news, and evidently not
Intended to be malicious. Newspapers have a
bard enongb time in getting their news items
without being prosecuted for libel when they
happen to make a mistake. In this instance
the Courier-Journal, very promptly, on the
following day, without being asked, corrected
the charge of murder, and this onght to have
satisfied tbe plaintiff. Bnt be would not be
satisfied. He wanted money, and for money he
went. He saw tl 0.000 like a golden vision beau
tiful to look upon, which conducted him Into
the court-house. lie now knows what it is to
have a golden dream concerning a newspaper,
and what it is to reduce that dream to a reality
through the verdict of a jury. If he is satis
fied with the war be has thus waged upon the
CourierJournal,w9 doubt not that the Courier'
Journal Is contented also. And when he gets
his one cent damages and serves out his one
year in tbe penitentiary, we hope he will have
a better opinion of newspapers than he seems
to have had when he brought his suit.

Six months ago an Austrian seaman, name
unknown, 'hipped on board the American
bark tbe &llen . feeDev, bound for various
ports in South America. The vessel returned to
this port on Wednesday, and during the cruise
of six months, according to tbe statements of
several of the crew, tbe Austrian seaman was
brutally murdered at sea by the steward of the
vessel, David Leech.
man's inhumanity to man.
The story, as narrated by tbe crew, is in sub
stance as follows: The murdered man, being
an Austrian and not speaking English well, lu
tome way earned the displeasure of the captain
of tbe feeney and tbe two mates. Ibey vented
their brutality on him in every way, beating
blm with belaying-pins and capstan-bars on tbe
slightest provocation, and frequently without
any cause whatever. The vessel arrived at the
port ol Montevideo about the 7tb or August last,
and was becalmed some miles outside the har
bor, where she rode at anchor. Another Ameri
can vessel, the Edward, was anchored near her.
THE MURDER.
The unfortunate Austrian was in his bunk.
sick, on tbe morning of tbe 8th of AHgu-tt, when
tbe second mate dragged him out of his berth
In tbe forecastle, and set him at work ' holy
stoning" the deck and cleaning tbe brass work
on the ship. On the morning of the 10th,
Jack" was cleaning some brasses on the
quarterdeck, when tbe mates seized him and
flung blm down tbe short ladder to the main-
deck, where tuey beat aud kicked him in a
learlul manner, ibe poor sailor staggered to
bis feet, and fallin.K against the long-boat of the
veseel, caught hold of the davit-ropes for sup-
iort. At that moment It is alleged that David
.ect-h rushed out of tbe cook's galley with
a cocked revolver in his hand, and, without a
w oid of warning, fired at "Jack," wbo fell to
tbe deck, shot through tbe head, and died two
hours after. Immediately after sUooting the
teaman, Leech and the captain of tbe Feeney
rowed to tbe Edward, where Leech remained.
Tbe body of the murdered roan was then sewed
up In a hammock apd taken ashore for secret
burial, none of tbe. crew being allowed to go
on bore lest they should inform the authorities
of Montevideo. When the body of the murdered
niau was Interred, Leech returnee to tbe f eeney,
and tbe vessel sailed for thin port, and, arriving
arriving on Wednesday, anchondoff Martin's
stores, near Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn.
ARREST OF TUB "OFFICERS.
The crew on being discharged lost no lime in
informing the authorities of the murder, and
Lnited States (Joinmlssioner Hhieids issued war
rants for the arrest of Leach, tbe mates and
captain of tbe Feeney. and also for the captain
or the Edward, which vessel had also arrived at
this port. Tbe warrants were placed in the
hands of Deputy Marshals Crowley and Pur-
vets, who arrested Thomas Ward, the second
mate of the Feeney, at the sailors' lodging-
bouse Ho. 37 Uberry street, ana
David Leech, the steward, on board of the
vessel. Tbe prisoners were arraigned before
Commissioner Shields yesterday and held for
examination. Tbey say that the shooting was
done in self-defence and In tbe performance ot
tbelr duty as officers of the vessel. The captains
f tbe Feeney and Fdward, with the first mate
or tbe Feeney, will no doubt be arrested to-day,
as tbe officers are on tbelr track. Five ef tbe

ISPIiN RELICS IX PENNSYLVANIA.
latere atlNc Relic Near Maaanaahela City.
Becentexasalnatlonaof pre-hlatorlo remains fonni
on a farm near Monongahela citr. Pennavlvanta. re
veal some Interesting points. The relic were dis.
coveted on tbe farm of Lewis Colvln, on the east
side of Pigeon Creek, and were contained in sepul
chral schists of oval shape, with flat or concave bot
toms. Tbe schists proper vary in depth from fifteen
to elgtteen Inches, ever irhtcQ were carefully placed
large, flat stone .flags, effectually covering the
sepulchre. These renerally lie about the .ine of
separation between the vegetable mould and substra
turn of clay. The query arises, has this disposition
of homos entirely taken place since the period of
wieruieutT
The explorer contributes to a Plttsbura- nancr the
result of bis observations. Be says: One of these
schists revealed the remains of a child about eight
years of age. The cranium was tolerably well
formed ; the softer and smaller bones generally gone.
The body had probably been Interred sitting with
the face toward the southwest. In close proximity
with the bead was discovered, resting on the side, a
taseterfectlnformand finish. The entire schist
was filled with light, yellow colored earth which
had been washed in daring the loni cen
turies since the excavation was rAade. The
cranial cavity and earthern vases were alike
filled with earth. Tbe vaae constituted bv far the
most Interesting object recovered. It contained
some animal boecs and dark panicles of animal
matter, which had evidently been placed In the
sepulchre to support the departed to the spirit land.
iu ib lunersi rue was in ooeoience to a wide-spread
custom among many barbaric nations. The vase is
of One workmanship a breccia of clay and a band
made shell of capacity over one pint. It has four
ears, each perforated and handsomely ornamented
around the margin. It is decidedly a flue specimen
oi tne nctue art ana a valuable relic of antiquity.
Another contained the tolerably well-preserved
remains of a child of perhaps six years of age, with
numerous personal ornaments. Two car ornaments
of shell lay on either side of the cranium, while rive
others of similar design lay in Immediate proxi
mity with the ribs and vertebrse. Namerous
minute none ana copper beads were also found:
also a copper tube, two Inches in length, filled
with some fibrous substance. Near the lower
extremities were discovered vestlees of a fibrous
cloth, of tolerably tine texture. These relics in
dicate an advanced type of race, aad the Inte
resting archseoogtcal prob'em comes up, whether
tbe copper ' Age bad overlapped tbe stone.
or are these (for there have been discovered other
sepultures containing copper) intrusive elements 7
Copper was the only metal worked by nre-historlc
races on this continent. North of Mexico, orna
ments and weapons of this most valuable metal
bave been discovered in monnds and other ancient
depositories. Bronze was unknown to the mound
bpllders or subsequent nations, anterior to the dawn
of history. The copper was obtained from mines
now worked on Lake Bupenor. Their abandoned
drifts, stone hammers, broken masses of copper.
etc., have been discovered, but alas! who and where
are me miners
The sixth schist contained a handsome pearl or
nament. In all, the bodies bad been buried facing
toe souin or sou in west.
The writer adds: I have collected many fine spe
cimens of the Stone Age in this interesting archaic
field. The race whose remains we have been ex
amining had advanced to tbe Neolithic or polished
Stone Age. Many or tne specimens are or exquisite
workmanship, and compare favorably with minor
remains of art from the Ohio valley Mounds.
There Is an entire absence of turaular works in
the vicinity of tbe schist remains. A few scattered
mounds occur along tbe Monongahela. Hy atten
tion has been directed to a small stone tumulus on
the plateau back of Columbia, reported as contain
ing an arch. I bave examined it, but must reserve
any description for tne present: sumce, tne arcn
was simply the horizontal or overlapping aroh.
Tbe principle of springing an arch and locking
with a key was unknown to any people north ot
Mexico and east of the Gila. Repeated accounts
bave been published of tbe discovery of the arch
in the Mississippi valley, bnt these are all apocry-
pnai. ot a single autaenuc instance is npon
