or circumstances could excuse a homicide
committed in the prcciso manner in which
the lute Absalom Jenkins was killed.
The court decided that the killing of the
deceased was a case of Justifiable homicide,
and the defendunt was accordingly dis
charged from custody.
It is somewhat remarkable that while all
tho other papers of the State denounce the
decision as " monstrous," tho locofoco prjss
has not uttered one word in condemnation
of the judge's course but this silenco is
readily accounted for, when it is known
that tho murderer and the judge who gave
the decision aro locofocos and members of
prominent and influential locofoco fumilics.

ri'DUCANS in Illinois. Mr. I. Cook,
Postmaster at Chicago, being a sort of an
official exponent of the views of the Ad
ministration, the Buchanan Democrats In
Illinois wrote to him from all directions to
know what they should do. One Demo
crut, under date of April 23, 1858, wrote
him a letter containing this passage:
" This comity elects ono mcmlier of the

" -I tr "
spring, a judge in that State publicly com
mended from the bench a young man on
trial before him for having taken the life of
another, and said if ho had been in his
placo he would have done the samo thing.
Some weeks since, at a fair in Mercer coun
ty, one man sneaked np behind another,
and, without any warning, drew a pistol
and shot hiin dead and the judge before
whom ho was examined decided that he
was justifiable in the act. The case is thus
related by the Hurrodsburg Transcript:
i On Thursday of last week at the Fair
grounds near Salvisa, in this county, Absa
lom Jenkins was shot and instantly k.lled
by Robert McAfee, jr., in a crowd of some
five or six thousand persons. The' exam
ining trial was commenced on Saturday
mnniinff. but the parties not being in read
iness, was coutinued until the following
Wednesday, the whole of which day, with
a part or Thursday, was occupied in the
of witnesses. !
The Court was composed originally of
Tudirc Chinn, of tlio t'ouuty v-ouri, ..u u.
J. Driskeii, a ' r
but the case IPs vntw 7
alone. : ;
; The testimony mtrooucea in nciuin o. .w
Commonwealth served to establish the fol
lowing facts: that the defendant and the
j .a k.rl hnth heen unon tho irround
utt" " v. r
for several hours bclore tne occurreuw-.
the homicide, tuero rjeing m
however, that any words had passed be
tween them, although they had passed each
other repeatedly, and each was ev.dci.Uy
or ti.. nrliprs oresencc: that at the
time the killing occurred, tne aB""
in friendly conversation with S. S. Mcat
ridire and Ben. M. Kirby, in relation to a
matter of business, evidently nnconcious or
the close proximity of the defendant; that
the latter approached the deceased from
behi id,and placing a pistol close to the
back of his head, fired and killed him
i...ntt. ' " 1
The defence relied mainly upon prooi
that threats of personal viol nee had been
h the deceased atfainst tlie defend-
. intrtvlnced a lanre number of wit-
mtin this fact, and also to show
that the manner of the deceased on the day
of the homicide, while passing the dcf.-wlaut
m f mound", was tucii a to induce
the belief that he was anxious to bring on a
AtcliisoN. A Missouri paper states
that Davy R. Atchison, who three years
ago " was thn mightiest man of the border,
and whose fierce tramp made the prainei
tremble," has abandoned " the stormy field
of politics entirely, and is now living in
perfect retirement upon one of the most ex
tensive and best-improved farms in the
State, enjoying that easo and dispensing
that unostentatious hospitality so grateful
to his cultivated taste and generous nature,
Death or a Rcffian. A notorious In
IQr A correspondent of the Chicago
Free Press, reflecting on tho sad fato of the
m'uaiiiff aeronaut, has sheen "induced to
compute the time he would be Iu Killing
to tho earth; his mean velocity, as well as
the momentum with which ho would strike
tho earth, nis elevation was thought to
bo about three miles when ho was last seen,
and assuming this to bo tho distance which
he fell, it would only require 31) seconds
for him to reach the earth, at a mean ve
locity of 495 feet per second. Assunio his
weight to bo 160 pounds, ho would strike
the earth with a momentum equal to 100,-
800 pounds, or a littlo more thun 80 tons,
a power sufficient to scatter his body, bone,
and muscle into atoms so minute as scarcely
to bo perceptible, if not to bury him deep
iuto the earth."

wheels are now extensively manufactured In '
England, and are said to possess several
advantages over those hitherto used. They '
aro stated to be less expensive than iron

whereas an Iron-tired wheel U said to be

figure, In which the India rubber lies, with :
a projection in the center, dipping far down
into tho wheel, so that as the pressure in
closes so does security in proportion, and
tho rubber presents a curved figure to the
road, similar to a new half-round tire. If
the objection of excessive wear has heen
