DAILY COURIER.WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1858.

tsr lit adiuff Matter on every page.The Journal on Registration and Foreigners.We are unable to saj who was the author of the

weak article in the Journal of last Friday, on thesubjeol of our registry law; but certainly his politi-cal friends ought to sue out a writ Je lunatico

for the tell-tal- and have him confinedwhere he can do them no more mischief. A partythat has obtained all it triumphs by stealthymovements and secret machinations, could, in ourjudgment, mete out no panishment too severe fora man who, in writing of the passage of that law,can, with a chuckle of delight, dare tosay openly to the public "we confess there i aslight possibility that our Democratic friends didnot exactly vnitrdani th objeeti which we desiredto attain." However much his friends may feelchagrined at the flood of light thus thrown uponthem by this unfortunate admission, we of theopposite party are grateful to this amiable gen-tleman for the, acknowledgment that the KnowNothing party had objects in view, in seeking thepassage of that law, other than is evidenced uponits face. It is true that the Democratic membersof the last Legislature had no suspicion of theseulterior objects, nor of the base purposes whichthe law would be tortured into subserving. Theypassed it to enable Louisville to enforce the eollec-tio- n

of a portion of her revenue heretofore eludednor ever dreamed that its practical efl'ect would

be to couvert the oifice of the city Ux collectorinto a poll booth, or that the ruling party wouldemploy the city police in drumming up the faith-ful for registration. They never dreamed thatmen, prominent in the Know Nothing party,would be seen bringing up and pavinz the tax for adozen of the more indigent brethren at a tims.They presumed, too, that those to whom the cityintrusted the collection of her revenue were hon-est, upright men ! Would the Journal intimateanything to the contrary? Does it mean to saythat these gentlemen were the soft and pliant toolsof party, who can be made to do all it commands'?"Are they servants dogs, that they should do thisgreat wrong?" We confess the supposition thatthe Know Nothing party would act with thesame uprightness and fair dealing as would theDemocratic party under similar circumstances,was founded in false analogy and not warranted by experience. For once city-bre- d lawyershave outwitted the farmers of Kentucky thehonest yeomanry of the land. Honest men aredull in following the labyrinthian turns of practised knarery.

The gratuitous slanders heaped by the samearticle upon a portion of our fellow citizeua,whose only crime is that they were born in aforeign land, deserves the most unmiti gatedreprobatiou. The dissolution of a political partyis never more indisputably proven than whenits defenders are compelled to have recourse topersoual abuse. The application of such termsto our German and Irish emigrants as "drunkenpauper foreigners," etc., is but the impoteut rav-ings of a few narrow-minde- d and releutlessbigots, who are groping in blind hate, illuminednow and then" by the fitful glare of a dark lan-tern, after the constitutional rights of a portionof their fellow citizens, that they may wreakcauseless vengeance upon them for fancied ills.If the poor of other lands come to us, and seekby honest industry to raise themselves to a position of wealthy independence, is their presentpoverty to be attributed to them as a crime? Thatall men are born equal is no mere figment of phi-losophy, and the foreigners among us, if not ourcompanions in society, are at least our equals before God. It is abuse like this, added to personalinjury, that has turned from the bosom of Louis-ville the tide of emigration, which was bringingwitn it wealth and prosperity, and has built upher sister cities ol the Mississippi Valley. Whowill deny that Louisville, with twenty or thirtythousand more of what the Journal is pleased tocali "drunken, pauper foreigners," would be ablecreditably to compete with Cincinnati or St. Louisin the raceaof prosperity Let us, then, as a mat-ter of policy, draw closer our relations and encourage this emigration; for though, like the waters of the Nile, it may inundate and inconveni-ence us for the time, yet it brings with it a fut- -

encd richness which will be the cause of ourproductiveness and prosperity.

We can assure all foreigners that hereafterthey will meet with kindness and protection here.Louisville has done with Know Nothiogism. Ilerpeople, who have been kept, like Sampson, inweakness and blindness by these Know NothingPhilistines, now feel some return of their oldstrength, and as the scales fall from their eyes,will, like the Hebrew deliverer, arise with

energy and destroy their oppressors.The Democratic party has been, by cheating andtrickery, kept out of the enjoyment of offices assigned them by the people. And we may, by thisregistry law a move in the direction of a property qualification be for some months longerdeprived of the city government; but in a yearfrom this time there will not be a vestige ofKnow Nothingism remaining. We have alreadyaccomplished much in freeing the city from itsbaneful influence. There remains still a greatwork before us. For years past we have been ac-

quiring stalwart energies, and at times tryingour strength. W e have made many feeble andirresolute essays, not to mention many miserablefailures. We have made our reconnoissances andskirmished with the outposts, but the real battleis still to come. Let us gird on our harness, then,for the fight It is not the hopeless prospect thatwe have heretofore encountered. Let us but lookback at what we have already achieved, and cour-age need not fail us.

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad.We have yet a treat deal to say against G ov.

Uel m's Memphis branch railroad, and that ourposition may not be misunderstood with regardto the main truuk, we will state beforehand thatso soon as the Governor's 1300,000 is voted downby the people, we shall do cur best to show thatthe mortgaged bonds offered for sale by the mainstem will be a hrst rate investment for capitalists.We shall show that the principal is safe, the interest reliable, and that capitalists should take holdof them, upon their own intrinsic worth, withoutregard to the financial blunders of the Presidentoi mis roaa, who unfortunately has the disposalof them. We shall show that they are worthmore than Gov. Helm asks for them, and that theouyer should take hold of them as a business in-vestment, whose genuine merits are not iniurdby the financial character of their vender.

How he Does Small Things and Great.Although Gov. Helm makes awful blunder in

the management of so grand an enterprise as themain stem of the L. and N. R. R.t he shows greatskill in small matters connected with it.- - He gotthe city council to publish, at its own expense,his letter in behalf of the Memphis branch, andthat of his coadjutors of Lozan countv on thsame subject. If he could disclose such financialastuteness in the conduct of the great featuresof the enterprise he heads, we should not ssy aword against him. Still, we think that those whodance should pay the piper. '

A Question for Mathematicians.Gov. Hiilm sold first mortgage bonds on the

Lebanon branch road bearing seven percent inter-est, and having four years to run, of texenty-jiv- t

centton tite dollar. What percent did the lntest-men- tyield the purchaser per aqnum? , We have

had it cyphered at, and the answers differ;'' one issixteen and a fraction, and the other is somethingover nineteen per cent We have no fondness forfigures will some tax payer do ns the favor towork tbe turn out, and send us the correct answer

Something to be Estimated, t.

Gov. Helm declares himself out oi patience withour stupidity. What amount of discomfiture willexpress his feelings to the people of Louisvillewho dissent from his branch road? Will the Gov.faror us with an estimate from one of his best en-

gineers? ; ' " ';''' - j

pressed by the lecturer. His whole system andschema of treatment is based upon affection.Secure the confidence of the horse by kindness,and he is subdued. Horses are ruined by the prevailing plan ot breaking, where force and violence are used. Mr. Faucher discussed the vari-ous diseases incident to the equial race, and gavea detailed account of the anatomical constructionof the horse. "

To demonstrate the feasibility of his system,he made a series of experiments upon a mare be-

longing to Mr. Nelson Dorsey, of Jefferson county.This animal has been perfectly uncontrollableand only day before yesterday kicked a sulky inpiece on the Uakland track. Her owner has in-

tended to run her in the twenty mile race betweenthis city and the mouth of Salt river, but she hasbeen so vicious that it has been impossible to trainher. Mr. Fancher approached the mare, and afterapplying some preparation to her mouth and nos-trils, assumed almost complete sway over her.He then tied up her left front foot, caused her tokneel, and almost immediately afterwards, to lavon her back. He placed her feet about his neck ;at a signal caused her to arise; stood upon herhind legs ; in fact, performed a hundred feats withthe animal that would have been dangerous withthe most easy-goin- g plow horse.

When we reflect that to subdue a horsetemporarily, requires the strength of six or sevenmen, this leat of Mr. Fancher appears the morewonderful. He promises, in a day or two todrive the mare through the streets with a buffalorobe dragging about her heels. There were ser.eral experienced horsemen present, and they wereequally astonished with ourself. It is Mr. F.'s desire to obtaiu as many wild, vicious, devilishhorses as possible. He will exorcise the evilspirits, and render the horses so tractable thatthey may be driven by anybody anywhere, without the least danger of affright

The Cost of Gov. Helm's Branch.Gov. Helm, in his communication to the Coun

cil, said the equipped Memphis branch would costnear fSX,0u0. He quoted Mr. Olmstead as authority for that estimate. It now turns out bv hislast publication, that he had no right to quote himfor any such estimate, his actual estiuiata havingbeen I'JSO.OOO without equipment. Add the tZ0 -

t'00 which the Chief Engineer says the equipmentwill cost and we have $1, 130,000 for the actualcost of the branch, according to Olmstead'a esti-mate, instead of the JSnu.OOO reported to theCouncil.

The Governor is said to be quite complaisant tohis Chief Engiueer, aud the latter has probablyproven himself equally so in his revision of Olm- -

stead's estimate. But let that pais. It is certainly a most unwarrantable liberty for one engineerwho has never seen a foot of the route, to undertake to revise and correct the estimate of anotherengineer (equally, if not mere, competent) honas made an actual instrumental survey. Butlet us take the estimate of the Chief Engineer,and let ?9S0,000 be assumed as the true cost, andwe will again review the means for buildinsr itThe Logan county bonds will not sell, asthe Governor well knows, for more than seventy- -

nve cents on the dollar, or 225,000. Add to thisthe promised individual subscription, not yet obtained, and the two make 1325,000. Then comesthe city bonds for fDOO.Ou 0 in from one to fouryears. These, the Governor says, he will not sacrifice, though we have been told he actually soldLebanon branch seven per cent, bonds, bavin"only two years to run, at seventy-fiv- e cents.

We will concede for these six per cent, bondshe will obtain an average of eighty-fiv- e cents, or$250,000. Thus he will have means to the valueof 575,000 to accomplish a work which his engineer thinks will cost at least $930,000, leaving adeficit of 1405,000. Now, admitting the financialability of himself and his directory to be all thathe claims, it is askmz rather too much of publiccredulity to trust to their financiering to make upsuch an enormous deficit. He does not pretendthat there is the slightest grounds for hoping thatthe money can be raised by a sale of branchbonds. He has taken special care, for the sake ofhimself and Hardin county, to obtain a clause inthe charter which expressly prohibits the mainroad from aiding the making of the branch,either with its means or credit Where, then, isthe deficit to come from? Why does he not, byway of atonement for his gross and unpardonableblunder as to the cost of the branch, come outlike a man and say at ouce that there is no wayto provide the deficit but by dragging it out of thepeople of Louisville by direct taxation? When heconfesses that, then it will be for our people tosay whether they can stand taxation to the tuneof $703,000 for the purpose of making a triflingbranch to the small town of Clarksville, withoutany reliable guaranty that it will ever be carrieda foot beyond that place. Such a branch maynave great attractions for the people of Lo?ancounty, who are exceedingly anxious to reachthat point of shipment for their produce, but itcan never compensate the people of Louisvillefor having 705,000 extorted from their pockets.

Stats of Affairs in China.Notwithstanding the 'treaties with China,

murder and horrors continue. The "Friend ofChina," in the issue of July 6th, says: '

Repelliug all attempts at sociability, the Chi-nese meet our advances with cruelty. We givean iuatance of what occurred on Saturday fast,almost under our own eyes. Four Frenchmenlanded from one of the Catinat'a boats for the pur-pose ofpurchasing provisions. When near theSouth Gate, and in the new city, they were hem-med in by the Braves. Three cut their waythrough; the fourth was captured, and his headand hands cut off in almost less time than it takesus to write this sequel. -

The French naval commander on the riverlanded a party of men, marched to the streetwhere the murder was committed, measured off100 paces, and at one end placed a detachmentwith directions to shoot every man that tried toescape.

SHUCKING COKX.

We have heretofore lamented the dissipation oftbe romance and poetry of agricultural life con-

We have no moreharvest homes. And now the darkies, and theboys and the girls of a fairer hue, are to be de-

prived of all the glorious fun and frolic that inthe good old times surrounded the corn shuckingfestivities. Some enterprising genius has invent-ed a machine that in the twinkling of an eyehusks an ear of corn. Here it is shelled, and be-

fore you can utter that peculiar name "JackRobinson" the grain is presented you in the shapeof meal, ready for the griddle. This new inven-tion was placed in the hall yesterday afternoon.It is an ingenious contrivance, and especiallyworthy of the consideration of those farmers whodesire to hurry their crops to market

POLICE COURT.

OFO. W. JOHNSTON, Jodob.TttsDAT, Sept 2L,

Assault and Battery. Samual L. Bryant sworeout a warrant for assault and battery againstJohn Thompson. Bryant's face was considerablybattejed and bruised, and his eyes in deep mourn-ing, all ef which he says were the work of de-fendant, who he aays first abused and then beathim. It further appeared that complainant hadbeen paid off, in presence of defendant, when analtercation ensued, and he had called the latterseveral ugly, dirty names, before he attacked him,and had intimated a willingness to fight Jt wassaid in defense that Thompson hit but oae lick,but the man's face had an astonishing number ofbruises about it The case of assault was madeout, and the party was recognized in $10") to an-swer indictment.

Charge or Disorderly Conduct. John Nor-wood, Thomas Jones and Wm. Wilson were to-gether presented on the charge of disorderly con-duct, and attempting to play hickory-lo- onWashington Spradling, the free negro barber onThird street. Officer Seay happened to be near,and caught Mr. Norwood as he made a rush intothe shop, evidently with the intention of dustingWash's jacket The officer, as in dutv bound, ar-rested the breach of the peace and the parties,together with the clubs. It appears that therehad been a previous difficulty with Wash, in ref-erence to replevying a debt, or a garnishee, inwhich it was stated that Wa,h. struck Norwoodand tbe latter was determined to have satisfac-tion. The Court concluded to maintain the lawand held each of the three to bail in sums of $200to keep the peace six months.

Carhtixq a Pistol Disordbrlt Condcct Ayoung man in blue specks, a stranger in ourparts, was presented on the charges of being pret-ty near crazy on mean whisky, and flourishing arevolver. He appears to ba" unconscious of anymisconduct, or misdemeanor, and expresses hiswillingness to pay the line. The Court for thepresent concluded to require a bond of $200 forhis good behavior. The concealed weppoo casewill be an after consideration.

Disoroerlt Woman. Little Mrs. Mary Fordwas once more to the fore on the usual charge ofdrunkenness and disorderly conduct She hadbeen rather wild and noisy, and was hauled outof her hole by one of the watch, much against herwill, and she insists upon it that it is all spiritwork; but the Court didn't believe her, and bail of$200 was required for three months.

Held to Bail. The Court ordered the appear-ance of Wash. Spradling, in connection with theabove case, who was brought in, and bail of $200was required of him to keep the peace six months,thus making all parties amenable to the law.

The Romance of Crime.A criminal trial of extraoidinary interest is just

now in progress, at Fancastle, "Va., involvingabundant materials for a modern sensation novel.The prisoner at the bar is a respectable citizen,named Henry W. Bowver, and the crime he ischarged with is the killing of one Jas. McDowell,Senior, likewise a person of respectability, andan officer in the Fancastle Bank. The cause ofthe shooting was the supposed seduction of MissLizzie Bowyer, the daughter of the accused, alady of some thirty years of age, described byone of the witBesses as "a young lady who wasalways diffident among strangers always dressedin the best style and whose father was never inthe habit of consulting her in regard to her pur-chases; he always paid the bills." This MissBowyer, however, it would appear from the evi-dence of other witnesses, had been rather loose iaher behavior with gentlemen, for two or threeyears previous to her acquaintance with the al-

leged seducer, Mr. McDowell. One witness (Fer-dinand Woltz) on this point testified as follows:

Cross examined by the Commonwealth I had heardof MUs Bowyer's improper conduct lrore I heard of herintimacy with Mr. McDowell.

The defence here objected to this testimony. Theywer willing to admit all that Mr. Woltz "had communi-cated to Mr. Bowyer, but not that which he heard besideas rumors.

The Court decided that the testimony should be ad-mitted.

Witnessed resumed I did hear of Miss Bowyer's im-proper conduct with others before I heard Mr. McDow-ell's name connected with her. I think It ha been threeor four year since I first heard rumors axaiust her char-acter. Don't snow that I specified to Mr. Bowyer theleng'h of time these rumors had been in existenre. Heremarked to me that it grieved him to think that he hadbeen associated with gentlemen who were aware of theserumors, yet kept them from him. In giving him thenauie9 of gentlemen I only said they were mentioned inconnection with the name of his daughter. I intendedto tell Mr. Bowyer that so far as I could judze, his daugh-ter had acted very improperly In ber advances towardsgentlemen. It seemed to be the general Impression thathe ha I been Improperly intimate with some persons

Have often seen Miss Bowyer in general society.at home,at my house, and elsewhere. N ever observed anythingimproper or immodest in her conduct myself. When Ifirst heard rumors againt her, 1 gve no credence tothem thought it must be a mistake. Bat the rnmorbogan to ihitken, until at length I became satisfied theremust be some truth iu theiu. Those rumors attributedto her a vice which would render Ler very eoiumou. Therumor in regard to Mr. Beale was that she had madvery Improper advances to him, but never heard theparticulars. This was located in or near Baohauan.

Q. By Mr. Anthony, Commonwealth's Attorney :

Was not everything you heard, In reference to Mr.Beale's conduct toward the lady, highly crditable tohim?

Wit : It was. I recollect hearing that Xisa Bwyermade improper adcancei to Mr. Beale, and that herepelled them, showing the great respect he entertainedfor the family of Mr. Bowyer.

VI. By the Commonwealth : What were the rumorsyou heard connecting her with Mr. Price

The counsel fr the delence objected to the narrationof rumors which the witness had heard. They werewilling to admit ail that he had communicated to Mr.Bowyer, but nothing farther. The question was thnput In the following form:

To what extent did the rumors, which you communi-cated to Mr. Bowyer, implicate Mr. Pric

I only remember saying that they had been seen to-gether, he on one side of th fence, and she on th other.That was all.

The defence admits the shooting, but as in allsuch cases, an effort is evidently making to im-press upon the jury, that a father avenging theseduction of his daughter, is a virtue as old asthe A irginians, to be applauded, and not a crimeto be condemned. Hence, to aggravate the badconduct of the alleged seducer, McDowell, andproportionately tc increase the father's provoca-tion to shoot him, the defence are endeavoring toshow that Miss Lizzie was at times not in a soundstate of mind. To support this theory, tbe fol-lowing evidence has been brought forward:,

Dr. 9. D. Hopkins, sworn I had a slight acquaintancewith Miss Bowyer. Saw her once at her father's bouse.I wish to relate my impressions of her deportment in myown way. I expected to find ladies in such a family fapossession of all that a refined education could impart.But when Mis Bowyer came to th door and answeredmy inquiries about her father, I thought there was so g

in her manner which denoted an absence of therefinement I had expected. I thought it was attributableto a mental defect. This was merely the conclusion ofmy mind. Her manner made me think ther was a fail-ure on her part to come up to tbe standard of refine-ment which bad been created In my mind. I thoughther intellect was affected. Think this visit wa mad inMay last.

It would appear that Miss Bowyer, just beforethe discovery of her intimacy with deceaecd, hadrun away from home, and that Bowyer was underthe impression that McDowell had persuaded herto that step, in order to accomplish her ruin anenterprise in which the whole drift of the testimo-ny goes to show, he must, or might have been,successful. Bowyer, it was said, was satisfiedthat his daughter was in a state of derangementthroughout the entire transaction, and that herseducer had taken advantage of that derange-ment After a white, however. Miss Lizzie re-

turned to her parent's house. The interview be-

tween father and daughter was most touching,and an thus describes it: ,

Mr. Bowyer remarked to his daughter that h did notcome to upbraid her for her past conduct, but to savher, If possible, from sinking Into deeper degradation;she wept at ber reception and seeme 1 sorry for ber

In response to th question from hev father, whyshe left home, she replied that McDowell had informedher that some person w a going to writ an anonymousletter to him, informing him of her conduct that assoon as her father received It h would kill ber thathe, McDowell, wa going oa a pleasure trip to NewYork, and if ah would follow hua th third dayafter be left, he would giv her oa hundred dol-lar for traveling expense, and whn she got to SawYork b would furnish her a hous and giv her flvhundred dellars. McDowell also asked her a hat hadbecome of his letters and note; sh replied that sh hadtheui. H then mad her promise to bura thena, and bpromised to burn hers, in order to prevent his exposure,la cas sh should b pursued and found with his let! eraand note In her possession. She did burn them accrd-lngt- o

promise. He requested her particularly not to stopat any hotel ia Richmond, Baltimore, or Philadelphia, butat the houses of certain person whom h named inthose cities, which sh fuiind afterward t b housesof ill-- ! am. 11 said sh could be too easily traced ifah stopped at hotal. lie gav hr $100, but ah wasprevented from leaving horn at the time appointed, byth fact that hand on th farm wer cutting grass In thimmediate neighborhood wber sh Intended to get onthe stag for Bonaack's depot. Mr. Bowyer also statedthat he would rather that McDowell had applied thtorch of the incendiary to hi dwelling, at midnight anddestroy hint sad his whole family, than to hav beenguilty of persuading Elisabeth from her home, and tend-ing her to a house of in a city that h was

McDowell had don it to gratify a malignant feel-ing towards him and to-- degrade hi family, and that Itwas his duty to avciig It. He thea remained silent forawhile, and seemed to be perfectly absorbed in thought,and not Inclined to talk. , ,

The trial has aow been going on for more thana week, and the probability is that it will take an-other week to finish it The court room is crowdedday after day, and the utmost interest is mani-fested on all hands ia the proceedings. Two sonsof the deceased are ia dally attendance and therumor is that they freely threaten to revenge tbedeath of their father, if Bowyer is acquitted.So that there may be a second act in the tragedyto come. j"
