A Despcrada Bite oflTthe Ear of a Pallee
Officer.
The Pittsbure Commercial of yesterday says:
About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a most
sickening sic;bt wai witnessed In the vicinity of
Veil McCallion's saloon, on Sixth street. It
seems tbat the well-known Johnny Newell was
talking in a boisterous manner to llenry A.
Grant, t the colored foot-racer, with whom
Newell ran a race In the oil regions. Officer
Lewis Johnston, of the Major's notice, came
along, and before he had spoken Newell assailed i
mm win vne epitnets. Johnston told htm to
keep quiet, but this had the effect of in
creasing his disorderly demonstra
tions, and the officer ordered kim under
arrest. They had proceeded bnt a
short dietanca up Sixth street, when Newell
drew from his pocket a larg brass key, and be
fore Johnston was aware what he was coins; to
do, received two severe blows upon the head.
Newell at the same time tripped him, and he
fell, catching hold of and taking Newell down
with him. While strugslinfr. in the gutter Newell
got the officer's left car in bis month, and bit it
entirely off as close as if it had been cut off
with a knife. The officer regained kis feet a
moment afterwards, and notwithstanding ke was
bleeding; and suffering; intensely from the loss
of his ear and the gash on his head, clung to
his prisoner and conveyed hiin to the Mayor's
office.
There was a largo crowd of Ncwell's com
panions present, also a number of citizens, and
to their discredit it should be said, not one . of
them interfered in the officer's behalf. An old
gentleman named Prescott once attempted to go
to the rescue of Officer Johnston, but the
thieving companions of Newell caught and
pulled him away. Any citizen who would stand
by and see an officer abused in the manner de
periled, without cadcavoring to help him, should
not be recognized as a citizen.
The officer was not on his beat, and did sot
have a mace or weapon upon his person.
Dr. Murdoch, the city physician, was sum
moned and the wound of the Injured man dressed.
That upon bis head is about an inck and a half
in length. The place from whence the ear was
taken had to be sewed up, after which plasters
were placed npon it and the whole head ban
daged up. Johnston then made an information
against Newell for mayhem, the warrant was
read to him, and he was told ha would have to
remain in the lock-up until this morning at 10
o'clock, when a hearing will take place.
Officer Johnston is a trusty and reliable guar
dian, who has a ways rendered satisfaction. Ills
conduct is highly commended in all quarters,
and one well-known gentleman suggests that a
substantial recognition of such merit as was
displayed by the olaicer be given him, and so
suggests that a purse or reward be given him,
and as an earnest of the offer he praposes to
head the list with ten dollars.
The penalty for the offense is a ine of 11000
and Ave years in the penitentiary. In addition
to this the Mayor intends having the officer
prefer a charge of aggravated assault and bat
tery against him, in order that the punishment
may be as severe as possible.
IKCREDIBLE OUTRAGE.
A Clergyman Murdered In his Pulpit.
Frem the Mew Era, Fart Smith, Ark., April 28.
The mett dastardly outrage heard of for a long
time was perpetrated last Saturday at Cuocoville,
a quiet and flourishing village in the southern
part of this county near the Indian line. We
have tka following particulars from the Hon. E.
. Henderson, Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion for this district, who returned last evening
from a visit to Waldron, and passed through
C'koooville yesterday as the murdered man
was buried. On Saturday morning as the
Rev. Mr. De Champ, of the Missionary Baptist
Charch at Checoville, was about ta open
religious services, and while the congregation
was still gathering, a ruffian named Handler
entered the meeting-houso, revolver In hand,
and approaching the minister, asked him his
name. Un aeiag tola, nanaiey levelled ms
revolver at Mr. De Champ and fired faur shots
at him, three of which taak effect in the head
and one in the arm. The demoniac assassin then
wheeled round, and levelling his revolver at the
congregation, drove them out of the house with
curses and imprecations and threats of death.
The affrighted people of course hastily fled ia
everr direction. The murderer than leaped
upon his horse, tied close to the building, and
galloped oil. tie has not yet keen captured.
As ta the cauBe of the murder, the following
is told: The man Handley, who has previ
ously norne a notoriously oaa cnaracter, some
fonr years ago interrupted in tha mast scan
dalous manner a religious meeting at which tke
nnfortaaate De Champ officiated, for which
offense the latter had him indicted before the
Grand Jury, tried, and fined $50. Handlsy
went off to Texas soon afterwards, where kis
deviltries also made it too hot for him, and from
whence he returned recently, to imbrue his
hands in the blood of a good man in tke appal
ling manner stated. Great excitement exists all
through the county at the fearful deed.

probable that the Prussians will

If they enter. MM. Favre and Simon are likely
to resign shortly, in conseqaence of the dissen
sions in the Assembly.
There was bo firing to-day, but it will begin
from Montretout to-morrow. It is believed
that a

NATIONAL BOND INDORSEMENT.
Does an Indorsement on a National Itoud
JOeatroy its Negotiable Character)
The First National Bank of New Albany, Ind.,
held thirteen seven-thirty bonds of $1000 each.
These bonds were in blauk. On the back was
printed "Pay to Bearer." The cashier of the
bank, desiring to have them exchanged for other
bonds, indorsed them, "Pay to the Secretary of
the Treasury for redemption," and delivered
them to Adams Express Company to take to
Washington. They were stolen from Adams
Express Campany, and one of them found its
way to England, where it was bought up by the
agent of the defendants, Duncan, Sherman &
Co. The agent inserted Duncan, Sherman &
Co.'s name on the face of the bill, and drew his
pen over the indorsement. Duncan, Sherman
& Co. presented It for redemption, but it was
rejected, the bank having filed a caveat. The
bank sued Duncan, Sherman & Co. to recover
the bond.
The action came np in the Common Pleas
yesterday before Chief Justice Dully, Judges
Robinson and Larremore. The plaintiffs loaiot
tbat the endorsement took the bond entirely out
of the character of negotiable paper, dedicated
it to particular nse. and made it no louder nego
tiable. On the part of the defendants it is
claimed that no payee being named on the face
af the note or bond, under well-settled mercan
tile law the endorsement was a nullity, and the
bill or bond good in the bands of whosoever
might honestly get it, and that in any case tbe
endorsement might be erased, and the origlual
endorsement, "To bearer," left valid, eraalu at
the same time the liability of tbe endorser and
his control of the paper. Decision reserved.
