Mempuis, Tenn., July 6, 1871, Aspecial despatch from Uxford last evening to the avalanche says that in the Ku Klux cases the closing argument by the defence was resumed by Colonel Doud. He sald the indictment was murder of citizens of the State of Mississippi by citizens of the same State. He argued that the power to de- termine a cause of that character was given by the people to the State government before the formation of the constitution of the United States. He said the first count in the indictment, which charged the defendants with murder by conspiracy and in dis- guise, was founded on the prohibitive powers of the United States, and not in the grant of power to the government. The second count was founded on the Civil Rights bill and the Enforcement act. He con- tended that an indictment found on the prohibitory power in the constitution was absurd, and said the whole legislation of Congress on the Civil Rignts bill and the Enforcement law was directed to the protection of ciuzeus of the United States, and not to persons. Judge flills held that life and liberty among the communities were intended to be secured under the amended constitation, and where two or more per- sons conspire together for their deprivation to a citizen of the Unitea States it was a violation of the Enforcement act, Ten of the prisoners were released on bail; the others did not succeed tn obtaining it.

Owens, who is now in the Penitentary, was arrested upon tne charge uf having committed the murder, and although the evidence against him was purely cir- cumstantial he was convicted on the 29th of April last at West Union, the county seat of Doddridge connty, and sentenced to the Penitentlary for life.

T. Frelinghuysen. He declined, but pro- mised ou some future occasion to avail himself of the Senator's courtesy. Yes erday was the occa- sion, the President having made good his promise. His arrival was anticipated by the Senator, who fore warded invitations to all the local dignitaries and social celebrities to be present and receive the distinguished visitor with ali the honors. Prestdent Graat arrived from Long Branch shortly before two o'clock, accompanied by General Porter, us private secretary. After removing the dust of travel he was escorted to the parlor ot the Frelinghuysen House, an extremely unpretending habitation, and after paying his devours to Mra. Frelinghuysen and the Misses Matilda and Lucy Frelinghuysen and Mra, A. P. Whitehead, be wat placed in position und exposed to an unmercifat handshaking for some Uttle time, Among those Newarkers who felt pecutlar honor in having their hands encircled by the Presidential digits were Mayor F. W. Ricord, President D, W. Baker, jayors James M. Quinby, Moses Bigelow, ogor, Senator J. W. 1 ) George Peters, John Mc J Alderman Gurney, H Tiftany and Taylor, Drs.

Kinney, Dr. Hunt, Joseph Atkinson, Judge William Davil Hayes, Lawyer Peauington, Pr, Young, Mr. Charies Py. Young, Colouel Caries Courtols aud a host of others. Senator Frelinghnysen acted as dacer. There were also present Judge Joseph P. Bradiey and Congressinan George A. Halsey. After the general hana shaking process was concluded the visi were escorted to the back parlor, Waere had been spread a ltoerally provi- sioned table. Ope of the chief attractions was & figure of the President, modelled in ice cream. Be- fore it had left the mould it might have resem~- bled Grant, but it assuredly did not alter- wards. ‘The President was dressed in a sult of black clothes, including swallow-tail coat, and was without gloves. His DL agrrcee completely captivated the Jerseymea, He looked, Not che stern, rigit military dictator that some folks are Wont tu consider bir, buta sitm, simple, unas suming American gentleman, more like a good, round-face@d, honest-leatured sea captain. He seemed quite pleased with tbe reception given hint, Judge Guild took occasion to say he (the President) was becoming quite a Jerseyman. “Well,” said Grant, “itis adout the only place 1 do keep honse.’* During the evening there was another reception, more of a social description.

This he objected to, when James offered to lend ‘im fifty more besides the twenty-five if ne would , 2ut Rogers out of the way. After some urging he a, treed to do THE DEED OF b LOOD, James agreciug to furnish the ammunition and to take care of his family, get him Witnesses and coun” sel, if he was arrested, and tot © lumself a witness in his behalf, and finaly to as 3st nimself in the murder. On Saturday, March 11, Noah James, he says in the confession, purchased the ammunition, and on Sunday, the 12th. Owens and James dined to- gether at the latter's house, when ta? arrangements were made to kill Rogers. On Monday, 13th, Owens found on returning Sone on Su Nday evening that his son, to escape the officers o,¢ the law for some crime ne had committed, had ridden away his only horse, therefore he was obliged to make a change in the prograntme agreed upon be.sween him and James, After this interruption nosop portunity offered itself for the acaomplishment of THEIR HELLISH DESIGNS antil Wednesday, March 15, when Owens,“Inr-commg home from a neighboring mill, saw Kogers coming along the road toward James’ house and in she di. rection of his own home. Owens hastened home as soon es possible and ran over to Noah James, telling him that Rogers was coming up the path toward the house, They both immedtately started for the woods to tntercept him, and jaidin ambush to await his coming. As soon as Rogers drew near Noan James fired the first shot, the ball taking effect in the abdomen. Rogers screamed and spraag from the path and started to run, when he (Owens) -| drew his pistol and FIRED THE FATAL SHOT, which took effect under the right jaw, killing hinw almost instantly, No effort was made to conceal the body. Other circumstances that have tran- spired since the murder have tended to substantiate the statements of Owens, and it may be said that the evidence adduced upon the trial largely cor- roborates the assertions of the convict. Ic appears that after Owens was arrested James did not keep faith with him, but refused to have anything to do with him, and even furnished evidence against hun, and it isa matter of much surprise that he did not make a confession long ere this, that James might have suffered the penalty he so richly deserved. A warrant was last week issued for the arrest of James, upon the statements of Owens and other dence, and was to have been served on Saturday, July 1, but ere that time the spirit of James had by his own hand been nshered into eternity. On Friday last James, directly after eating his dinner, of which he partook sparingly, complaining of not being weil, took his gun and went np a litle brook that fows im the vicinity of his house. Soon after he left his wife, hearing the report of a gan, sent a little child up to see what her husband had shot. The child had been gone but 4 moment when it came running back, Its face white with terror, to preak to its mother the terrivie intelugence that her husband ana its father HAD KILLED HIMSELI. A visit to the terrible scene revealed the fact that he had gone up the brook, deliberately taken off his boot and sock, and had placed the muzzle of bis gun to nis eye, and, with his toe, had touched the fatal spring that sent an unerring bullet toa vital spot. Thus you have the sequel to one of the blackest crimes that disgrace the pages of the crimtnal his- tory of this State. SUICIDE OF A COLOTED MAN, Provipence, R. 1, July 6, 1871.
