Thw.following narrative made up by the
New York Commercial, •is the must im-
Ihrisiafare have seen:
pa present excitement appearato have
arisen from the murder of Charles W.
Dow, fertnerle of Ohio, and a free State
mitt, by a Mr. Coleman: a Missourian
ditirpro•slavery man. While this oppo.
stitien'of sentiment probably tended to mu
tat fit-feeling between the two, it does not
aPiaser to havehad anything toile immedi
ately. with the murder of the former:—
DOW and Coleman held adjoining chains,
rind . it represented that Coleman hod cut
doiber and burned lime upon Dow's land
that:Cotentin% was preparing to start an
other lime:kiln upon his neighbor's prop-
arty, when Dow remonstrated and warn-,
eithim that he would not be permitted to
repeat the enroachment. An altercation
Oriined. The two parted, however, with
resort..to violence, when Dow be
ing a 'tittle in advance of Coleman, the lat
ter shot him, some of the balls entering
did:heart! The' deed is thus described :
4 Citletnan raised his guy and taking de.
literate aim at Dow, snapped a cap. On
hearing this Dow turned about to see
what - it was, when Coleman recapped his
guti. raised it to his eye, and shot Dow
dead On the spot. Several buckshots en
tered his breast, killing hint at once.—
This was all done in sight of Coleman's
Ithuietaed the groggery, and happened at
I e'elock. No one of those gathered a
bbot Coleman's house— and there were
same Bor 10—went to remove the body
dr inform any of the murder. So the
dead body lay by the roadside till Ao'.
°leek; when a man named Branson some
how or other heard of it, and went and
lied the body taken care of."
T'Coletnin then fled. This Was on the
2let or; 22i1 'of November. A meeting
was held at Hickory Point by citizens,
who reaolved to employ al; the means $1
their_ power to secure the murderer and
brier him to justice. In the meantime,
however, Coleman had seen Governor
Shannon, representing that Dow was the
aggressor; and had attempted to drive him
off his claim, and that he (Colemaii) had
shot Dow in self-deferice. On this rep
resentation Governor Shanion seem, to
hob Acted:* Coleman returned to Le
aiMpton, where a court was to be held
the 'following week. The inexplicable
riart'OU the story, however, is that the'
Girveinor had prdered the arrest of the
Mr: peanson above alluded to, whose on
ly, participation in the business, so far as
tie can 'gather from the various reports be
tom us. seems to have been the humane
act" ;of removing How's body from the
wheel track where he fell, and where
Coleman and his friends left him. tis
charged by 'correspondents and journals of
oldie free State party. that the motive of
the arrest was to injure Mr. Branson as
Witness against the murderer.
, Th. sheriff (Jones) had arrested Bran
son on Cie affidavits of three of Coleman's
friends, and' was taking him away with
an' escort of fourteen armed men, when
atiirisiot Branson's family summoned the
neighbors to the rescue. These by a
rapid detour intercepted the sheriff and his
pnissei'attil drawing , up in line across the
toad, ordered them to stop, and called up
on Mr. Brunton to leave the sheriff and
join them, which he did. This is the
statement of the friends of :he rescuers.
Mr. Sheriff Jones then informed them
that tbe Governor would sehd a superior
fdree to execute the arrest and uphold the
ltiVis. It is alleged that the sheriff did
not exhibit any authority for the arrest,
and that he is nova resident of Kansas,
but 'a postmaster at Westport, Mo.

order to show her willigness to do so,
had she •been able, she pulled out her
wallet, and displayed three twenty dollar
gold pieces, a ten dollar gold piece, some
small change and a check. By and by
Mrs. W. comillained of a pain in her bead.
"Oh l" said the stranger, "I have' sonie

her money; her ticket and. check had

to console her with a promise that he
would see her baggage rot Albany. Rot

the roll has been culled three times, no member
shall have received a majority of the whole
number of votes, the roll shall again lityzalled,
and the candidate then receiving the largest
number of votes, provided it be a majority of a
quorum, shall be declaim' elected speaker.
This fell like a bomb-shell, occasioning
'much excitement. Several members in
the same breath moved to lay the
lion on the table, declaring it wint the pro,.

• The Clerk Called the House to .order--
members standing up all over the Hall.
Mr. Giddings, amid the confusion, earn

that they would nut commence hostilities,
but would stand on the defensive. The

to a ROMA r; CATHOLIC, in the person
of JoaN P. FRLEY. who ..ma renudiat.•d
by the people at the last August election.
We cannot learn that there was any
charge preferred against Mt. Wyuknop.
The movements to remove the old in
cumbent was kept very secret, it not hay
been known outside the Sag Nichts
Lodge in this village, until the arrival of
Mr. Foley's commission.
Now that Gen. Jones, and Patrick
Quigley. and Col. McHenry, have got
their eyes fixed upon Jackson county. we
would, in a friendly manner, advise those
P. M's. who have not been removed, to
attend Mass, get a certificate iron' the
Priest that they have done so, and forward
it to the Department immediately, and by
so doing they will probably retain their
offices.—Bellevue Republican.
The Speaker of the British House of
Commons is an Wine of considerable e

exclusive of a - furnished residence. Al
the end of his official labors be iv generlly
rewarded with a peerage, and a pension
of £4,000 for two lives. He is a mem
ber of the Privy Council, and entitled
rank after herons. Our Speaker receives
nothing but double pay of a member.
A ,PRINTER'S VitanicT.—Alfred Dutch,
of Chicago, has obtained a verdict of 1618,-
00 against F. C. Sherman, Ezra Sher
man, M. Regan and others ; for the destruc
tion of his newspaper establishment some
four nr five years ago. Mr. Dutch, who
at that lime was publishing the Chicago
Commercial Advertiser, was . owing. the
Shermans a small debt which he cuuld'not
conveniently pay. During his . absence
they attacked his establishment, in doing
which they literally turned it out of doors,
greatly injuring the , presses and converting
the type to pi. He brought a suit against
them in turn for the Outage thus unne
cessarily done to the establishment, and
has just succeeded in getting a verdict as
above.

M-The Foreign party signalized the recep

After several week's active preparation, prece
ded by advertised announcements and invite
lions to the "Democracy" to unite in the festiv

tacle I That "torch-light" demonstration on
the memorable night of Eve's brilliant effort,
was completely thrown in the shade. To be
sure, there were no banners or transparencies
in procession—and of course no "crosses" this
time—hut we lied the dram and fife, and four
grey horses, gaily caparisoned, to lead off; fol
lowed by some 15 or 20 living representatives
of the various phases of voting humanity that
go to make tip the motly party now arrayed
egoist Americanism, and probably an., equal
number of boys.. The Poor House bad its
representatives in linea, fitting tribute to a
party that insists upon our Republic being
made a Botany Bay for the reception of Eu
rope's criminate' and paupers I After march
ing through the streetr f the grand cortege pro
ceeded to the "Globe Inni" to witness the , bap
tismal ceremonies. The child's none, we'be
lieve, is "Penelope-Ann." This done, tbe cor
tege resumed its march, the managers having
in the meantime rung, in a few old hunker
Democrats to give, some appearance of Democ
racy to the demonstration, and proceeded a
short distance from town to test the capacity
of the brazen lungs olthe new comer in the
line of load report. "Penelope-Ane", having
done her best, some of our , American boys
trotted out "Sam," to place his deep; heavy
thunderings in contrast with the capacitir of
hii new rival, and' how that the latter : could
fare but tittle'hetfer than her predecessor to

such a contest.. Thus tnitled,thepd, dam;

NOW. IS 'THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.—
The seas& is just at band when newspa
pers are most interesting and when everj.body
neeet one. Congress has commenced ito ses
sion and our State Legislature will convene
next month. Their proceedings are of ImPor
tance tit every citizen and should be regarded
with interest by all. Another .great Presidan
'tiel contest is also approaching. State anti
National Conventions for the nominations:of
candidates will soon be hold, and their pro
ceedings will be of especial interest, for in this
free country'where every man has a vote ^the
course of politicians, and parties should be
looked atter. Then there is the news from.
Europe, with the eiciting scenes of the great
Russian War, the end anti the tremendous con
sequences of which cannot be forseen. With
such greatevents transpiring at hOme and a
broad, who would be without a newspaper
in nddition to all this:is the weekly freight of
general news, miscellaneous rending, poetry
and tales, which make the newspaper a wel
come vistant to the family fireside. Beside.'
this, you will bard a correct report of the mar
kets every week, keeping the fanner - advised
of the rise or fall in prices of grain, and
worth to him infinitely more than tho paltry
amount of subscription.
We appeal to our friends to aid in extending
the circulation of our paper. There is no man
in the community, however poor, who cannot
afford to pay tun dollars a year fur Ihe .. &ar
and Banner. As a newspaper it may be defi
cient in many respects, but nevertheless no ono
will deny that its fifty.two weekly numbers af-,
ford full value for the subscripiloo of every..ol4.
der. While we shall endeavor, as time mills on,
to enhance its value and interest, we earnestly
urge the co-operation of our friends in proam
ting its circulation. Let :each one of our
country friends exert himself to secure us a
new su bscriber.

work of rescuing releases of damages, and
Will also co-operate with the several Commit
