You are hell on lynching, and beware that your own dam head aint knocked in some of these fine evenings. How maby white men did you ever hear of being lynched for killing a negro? None in all your says. Neither for Taping, buying or selltn: ored people. ‘There are a few dam fools 0} on ored men like Jim wormier who eager to be patted on the back by wi men asa “nigger,” would lynch Me sbrother to please them. "To hell with such of my these men be tried and if eullty,, onnishes: Jim Wormley aint fit fora juror, nor any man who favors lynching without positive proof of guilt. This case may be clear against these men, but up to this time the only evidence you have is what one of the four says of the others, and he of course declares himself innocent,— Had Hirth been a nego there would not have been so much hell kicked up you dam fooi you. A COLORED MAN you allude to Jim Wormley is the *n who wants to lynch somebody, aud wants the Grand Jury called at once, Its only to-day that a white man was cleared of the criine of assault with intent to kill a colored man, although he shot his ear off and broke his arm” Amusements, &c.

Browning appeared for the accused. Mr. Minor testified that he purchased the wagon on October 16th from Edward Butler with the horse and harness, giving in payment $45 in two notes of hand, one for 30 and the other for 60 ai for which he produced Butler's receipt. He first met Butler on the highway near Fcir- tax Court-house. Witness atverwards brought the horse, wagon and harness to this city. Here, recently Butler had come, and finding the wagon standing in the alley, had removed it to Alexandria, as he is informed. The notes, of are over due but will be paid. One of mly had been presented to him for pay- ent. A small-sized white girl who saw the transaction testified to seeing the receipt for the notes given by Butler to her father at their house in Fairfax county the tre bargain had been effected, and saw Butler make is cross-mark, and saw the witness sign the paper. Butler took the stand and said he never gave that receipt, and knew nothing about it. He met Minor on the road. and Minor forced him with a pistoi to ils head to give him the horse and wagon, and thrust two notes upon him. Witnessis an ignorant man, and cannot read or write. He had not received a cent notes. The horse, wagon and b NESS COSt $73. Here the testtmony closed, the court remarking that there could be no other way than to send this case to the grand jury. It did not look at all reasonable that the property was obtained in the manner desccibed by defendant, who comes into court with the two notes he acknowl- edg have taken for his property.

A YOUNG MAN DYING FROM A PISTOL WOUND IN THE HEAD. ‘The people of Georgetown were thrown into a state of excitement this morning by the report * the murder of a young man named Patrick id, on Capt.

Te facts as thus far devel are as follows: = ald, pa on the boat Ella (and ‘ho is ited with one Lorenzo Hill, carrier of the mail from this place to Great Falls), was found in the cabin of the boat, which lies at the foot of i a pees Griag con canal, about 9:30 am. = in = ee lying in = pool of blood” and head apparently shed in. Rozier soe the ena ineer of the boat Ella, found him, and says that he woke him up about 7 o'clock, Temindtn had to carry the mail to the F as Hill had remained there to attend a ball. He says that Fitzgerald got up and that he saw him about 8:30 O'clock on the street near by—as did = others—that he seemed in his usual spirits, ant that upon going in the boat about 9:20 eal rotor he discovered him as above stated. ie police were at once notified and Dr. Sheckell as for, and upon his arrival found that there was no possible hope for the unfortunate young man’s recovery. An examination showed a wound just above and a little back of the right temple, as if made by a pistol shot or some sharp instrurent. On the floor, beside the dying man, lay a pistol, an old: fashioned Colt’s six-shooter, $2 calibre, with one shot discharged, and ap —— asif the trigger had been at- tempted to be raised for another shot. The Judex finger of the left hand was slightly bruised upon the knuckle and the hand hair clinched, with some discoloration upon it, as it from powder. One somewhat singular’ fact which may seem to controvert the theory of s: If-destruction fs that the ran was left-handea, and the wound fs made over the right tem, A hammer was also found near by, but upon it no evidence ot having been used. No biood spots at all were found upon It. The strange feature of the affair is that no one heard a shot or other noise, although there Isa black- ‘smith shop near by, and people passing the boat continually. This may, perhaps, be accounted tor es the fact that | the cabin was entirely losed and that the water deadened the sound. Dr. Sheckells did not deem it prudent, inasmuch as the man fs still alive, to make a critical exam- ination as to the wound and as to where the ball lod if the wound was made by a pistol shot. ‘The unfortunate man aon living at this writ- ing ae m.), but has be: ntirely unconscious Sines discovered, and cannot possibly live more thana few hours.
