A Grave Situation on the Afghan Frontier. BRITISH TROOPS CUT OFF. Troubles in Italy and Germany with Socialists. IN ENGLAND. BUSINESS DISTRESS (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpoy, Nov. 30, 1878. Count Schouvaloff, Russian Ambassador to England, hada long conference with Lord Salisbury, the British Minister of Foreign Affairs, on Thursday, at the Foreign Office, prior to the meeting of the Cabinet Council. The result of Count Schouvaloff’s inter- view with the Marquis of Salisbury is re- ported as follows:—The Marquis stated ex- plicitly to the Russian Ambassador that Great Britain would not permit on any account the slightest infringement of or deviation fmm the Berlin Treaty, nor any prolongation of the time of the Russian evacuation of Bulgaria, nor any interme- diary interference in the Afghan affair. The Marquis of Salisbury further expressed his surprise that so able a statesman as Count Schouvaloff should be engaged in such a useless endeavor. Count Schouva- loff, seeing that his mission has entirely failed, will probably leave London at an early day. A DANGEROUS SITUATION. The Daily News has the following, dated Peshawur, Friday evening :—‘‘General Browne’s communications have been temporarily cut, Hostile highland- ers, estimated four thousand in mumber, have collected in the hills below Ali-Musjid. They cut off stragglers and fire on armed parties. The section of the Pass between Jumrood snd Ali-Mnsjid has been closed altogether _ for the present, A strongly escorted convoy “failed to force its way to-day. ‘The situa- tion is serious and strong measures are in- evitable.” at THE EASTERN BROIL, Tho Times, in a leading editorial article on the Af- ghan correspondence, says:—‘It must afford great satisfaction to the public to find that there exists none of that violent contradiction between the assumptions on which the two recent governments have acted which the tone of the Duke of Argyll’s letter might have led us toapprehend. They are substantially agreed on the state of affairs with which we had to deal. The point they differ on is the conduct that such a condition of affairs requires, ‘This is a matter for practical judgment. It is here, and here only, that the great controversy arises.” The Times concludes as follows:—The gen- eral result of the papers cannot be regarded with satisfaction as far as they relate to the general con- duet of the British government in the past; but it is not unsatisfactory as regards our conduct in the pres- ent.” article, saying the responsibility for the despatch of the Russian Embassy to Cabul rests with Russia and not Afghanistan, England avoids a strong opponent and falls upon her weak neighbor. The Pall Mall Gazette, in w leading editorial referring to the statement concerning Russian intervention in Afghan affairs, says:—‘Russia cannot suffer us to prosecute our successes in Agfhanistan to what- ever iasue we may think fit. That action will be taken, sooner or later, is certain.” A despatch from Constantinople says the Porte has suppressed the Turkish Legation at Washington, and many consulates, Since the cessation of hostilities twenty- nine vessels have arrived at Constantinople, mostly from the United States, with large cargoes of rifles andcannon. The Turkish troops are now as well fur- nished with arms as before the war. The Standard’s Berlin correspondent states that Russia has advanced 3,000,009 roubles in order to make Sophia a first rate fortress. The Dady News’ Batoum despatch bays that the dispute between the Turks and Rus- sians concerning the new frontier arises from the former insisting upon the line of the Tehoruk. It is said the Roumanian authorities have been cordieliy feceived throughout the Dobrudscha, A NEW CABINET IN AUSTRIA, A despatch to the Times from Vienna says the op- position to the government iu the Budget Committee fs becoming merely personal and obstructive. ‘The oonduct of the opposition leaders is alienating even their own supporters. The Telegraph's Vienna corre- spondent says it is thonght the affair will make the reconstruction of both the Austrian and Hunga- tian Cabinets immediately necessary, as the Opposi- tion are probably willing to grant supplies to a defini tive Cabinet. REVOLT OF THE PROLETARIAT. The latest arrests of socialists have led to the seiz- tre of documents that have given much in- formation relative to the organization of the internationalists of Italy, and their connec. tion with similar bodice in foreign countries, A despatch from Pesth io the Times ways that the explosion of the bomb in an alley between the Fortress Theatre and the palace of M. Tisza, the Hungarian Prime Minister, while the latter was en- tertaining Count Andrassy, the Austrian Prime Minister, and several members of the delegation | on the night of the th inst., is regarded by most people in Pesth as a bad “joke,” aud that no ono attaches any importance jo the circumstance. Under the order of the Prus- tian Ministry, declaring that persons considered fangerous to the public order may be denied the right of residing in Berlin or its suburbs, about torty conapicuons socialists to-day received orders of sxpnision, among whom were Messrs, Hasselmann and Fritzshe, socialist deputies, ner HY PRER TRADE, The British Council of State is about to diseuss a Project for taxing cotton imports from America, The atrike of the cotton operatives at Oldham will prob- ably last a month or more, There are no further The St. Petersburg Noror Vremya publishes an | NEW. YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1878—WITH SUPPLEMENT | | siems of a disposition to yield on either side. The condftion of the iron and coul trades in the South Staffordshire district is growing worse. ‘The New British Iron Company, of Crudley, one of the largest and oldest coal and iron concerns, has given notices of the closing of the greater part of its works rather than to continues operations at a loss. The blast furnsee proprietors of South Staffordshire and East Worcester- shire have decided to reduce. the wages of they employés ten ‘per cent. The Maryport Hematite Iron Company has also given notice of a reduction of wages. ‘The Kentish hop growers met at Maidstone on Thursday and resolyed that in view of the general depression of agri- culture and commerce throughout the Kingdom, which is largely caused by ths protective tariffs of foreign countries, the time has arrived when, in fairness to British interests, the duties on foreign productions should be revived, ‘The participators in the meeting pledged themselves to use their best endeavors in the chambers of com- merce and agriculture thronghout the country to agitate the question of retaliatory tarifis. A committee was appoir ted to promote the objects of the meeting. ‘The liabilities of Henry Taylor & Sone, grain and flour merchants, whose estate haa been sequestered, are $650,00), not $6,500,000, as announced yesterday. The Chatterly Iron Company has refused the offer of 900 workmen to resume work at @ reduc- tion of five per cent on their wages, and is resolved to enforce the reduction of ten per. cent, The dis- tress among the workmen is very keen, Extensive discharges of workmen in that neighborhood are im- pending. James Ramsay, a merchant of Dundee, has failed, with liabilities of from £50,000 to £80,000, REBELLION IN NEW CALEDONIA, A despatch from New Caledonia, by the way of Sydney, Australia, the 27th inst., says:—“Eight lib- erated convicts and three natives, who were in small boats, have been murdered by rebels at the mouth of the Poya River. Movable columns of troops continue to pursue the insurgents in the Poy district. The rest of the colony is quiet.” SPAIN AFRAID OF HERSELF. ‘The Spanish government is taking great precautions in the northern provinces. No actual disturbances are apprehended, but revolutionary agents are be- lieved to be at work. The Gazelte publishes the text of an extradition treaty between England and Spain, which comes in force on December 9, 1878, CABLE ITEMS. ‘Two thousand troops and large additional supplies of arms and ammunition and field supplies are em- barking for the Cape of Good Hope as rapidly as pos- sible. A despatch to the Standard from Paris says the ap- pointment of the Count de Choiseul to be Ambassa- dor at Madrid has been cancelled. Two officers of marines fought a duel, near Cher- bourg, on Thursday, with pistols. One of them was killed. Many Italians have come to Nice to await a settle- ment of the republican agitation before returning to Italy. ‘The greatest confusion reigns among the groups of the Left in the Italian Parliament. The most prominent leaders hesitate to attempt the over- throw of the Cabinet. Discussion of the Austro-Hungarian credit for 1879, which involves the subject of the suppleme nt- ary credit for oceupation expenses, will begin to-day at Pesth in the Budget Committee, in connection with the Foreign Office estimates, ‘The Times, in its financial article yesterday, says:— “Business in silver is at a complete standstill, Hold- ers adhere to the recent rates, and purchasers, in the face of the increased drawing of India bills next week, are indisposed to pay so much. The market is nearly bare, and the unsettled condition will probably con- tinue as long as both business and supplies are wanting.” A despatch to the Times from Belgrade says the Bohemian Slavs are inquiring ypon what conditions they will be allowed to settle in New Servia instead of emigrating to the United States. It is believed that the Servian government’ will offer all possible facilities. The journey from Naples to Rome caused Signor Cairoli's wound to reopen. FEDERAL Vs, STATE. A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY BETWEEN COURTS IN VIRGINIA--JUDGE RIVES ORDERS TWO NE- GRO PRISONERS FROM THE CUSTODY OF A SHERIFF TO TRY THEM BY MIXED JURIES. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THR HERALD.] TucuMonp, Nov. 29, 1878. The order of Judge Rives, of the United States District Court, in the cases of Burwell and Lee Rey- nolds, the negro murderers, in Patrick county, who were refused a venire to bo in part com- posed of colored jurymen by the State courts, has been quietly enforced, and the prisoners are now in the custody of the United States Marsha}. A full account of the cases was published in the Hxgatp a few days since. ‘The negroes were twice tried in the State courts for murder, one of them being sentenced to eighte years in the Penitentiary at the last trial; but at e trial colored jurors, although demanded by their counsel, were refused them, Upon a_ petition wetting forth there facts IJndge Rives, of the United States District Court, then is- sted a habeas corpus cum causa for the prisoners and ordered his clerk to summon 4 mixed venire to try them in the United States Court. With this order Depnty United States Marshal 0. R. Wooten proceeded from Danville to Putrick county Court © and upon exhibiting the order of Jur Rives prisoners were quietly surrendered by the jailer, eriff being absent. There was not even 4 pro- fered, nor was any action taken by the Patrick thorities. ‘A CLAIM OF PARAMOUNT STATE, AUTR@RITY, ‘The Sheriff, who is now in Danville, says he would have protested, hud he been at the Court House, against the ‘removal of the prisoner under sentence, but would not have resisted — for- cibly, Thers will now be no action taken | by the Patrick county authorities. The prisoncrs were removed over one hundred miles to the jail of Chatham county, where they now are. It is stated that had Judge ‘treadway, of the State Circuit Court, who tried the prisoners, been present he would have directed the Sheriff to refuse the United States Marshal the keys of the jail. It is the opinion of Judge Tread- way that the matter has now passed out of the hands of the Patrick county people aud out of his as Judge of the State Court in which one of the negroes had been sentenced and the other was on trial, WILL GOVERNOR HOLLIDAY PROTEST? He thinks, however, that the Executive of Virginia should not only protest against this action of the United States Judge, but take steps to vindicate the sovereignty of the State against what he (Judge Treadway) considers “a flagrant and unconstitutional encroachment upon the exclusive and unquestion- able authority of the State.” It is the general belict that serious complications may yet arise out of this intricate case, when an official report is made to Gov- ernor Holliday, NORTH CAROLIN ELECTION, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Ratan, Noy, 2, 1878, ‘The State Board of Canvassers met again to-day, Certificates of election were issued to Davis in the Fourth district, Scales in the Fifth, Stecle in the Sixth, Armfield in the Seventh and Vance in the Eighth, all democrats. The consideration of the re- turns from the First district, which is contested, after argument, was postponed till to-morrow. In the Second district case an injuuction issued by Judge Seymour against the Board ordering them to postpone the count twenty days was served on the Board, Counsel for Kitchen, the successtul candi, date, urged the Board at length to disobey the injui tion. Counsel for O'Hara assert that there are gross frauds in Craven, Lenoir and Edgecombe coune ties, and the injunction is to postpone the count. till they can prove these frands and forces the county boards by mandamus to count the v which have been thrown out. Pending the discussion the Board adjourned till to-morrow. SPRINGFIELD CITY ELECTION, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THR HERALD.)

WANT OF DISCIPLINE Testimony Before the Coro- ner’s Jury at Hastings. A DISGRACED CREW. [BY caBLE TO THE HERALD.] Hasirnas, Nov. 29, 1878. I came here this morning from Dover, and find that the report sent to Dover last night and forwarded to the Hinar', td the effect that twenty-six more bodies had been landed at this place, is totally unfounded. The report came trom London originaily, and arose through a misapprehension of ‘The facts are that only three bodies have been recovered. Of these two are identified. One is the corpse of young R. W. Clymer; the other is that of Peters, the steward of the Pommerania, THE UNIDENTIFIED. the telegram. The third body, a woman's, is unidenti- fied, but it is presamed to be Mrs. E. B. Lucke. The body has been described to Misses Mary and Rose Clymer and they gave it as their unqualified opinion that it was Mrs. Licke. The Chief of Police of this place gives the following description of the corpse:—The lady was aged about forty, very tall (measuring five feet seven inches), dark brown hair, robust and intelligent looking. The body is clad in a plaid check dress, with buttons with the same material, brown stock- ings, low brown cloth and _ patent leather shoes and black jacket trimmed with fur. On her hands are two rings, one marked ‘I. L., 1876,” the other “W. G., 1866,” and a gold chain with a locket attached. WHAT THE I- QUEST REVEALS. ‘The Coroner’s inquest on the three corpses already found washeld here to-day, and after the hearing of much testimony the verdict was reached. It stands on the book simply, ‘‘Perished at sea.” ‘The most important testimony taken was that of the English sailor, Bligh, who had already inti- mated to me at Dover the reprehensible conduct of the Pommerania’s crew. Hoe to- day reiterated certain charges which it is the imperative duty of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Steamship Company to investigate. CHARG:8 AGAINST THE CREW. : He says that he noticed at Dover some boats which were brought in by the Glen- garry and contained many articles belong- ing to the sailors, even to bedding and messpans. He says that if the crew of the Pommerania had tried to save human life before baggage many more people would have een rescued. He says:—‘‘I saw no sailors on the deck at the time of the col- lision. I assisted two or three passengers and two officers at getting the first beat into the water. This boat was upset in conse- quence of the crew rushing over the ship's side into it. Doubtless there were some passengers in this boat, but the greater portion were members of the crew. I saw young Mr. Clymer and four ladies on the deck, but almost immediately lost sight of them. The Captain kept his post like a man, but noone elsedid.” Captain Schwen- sen, in answer to an inquiry of Bligh, after the collision, said his chief officer had left him. The men in the last boat per- sisted in pusaing off while there was room for several more people. WHERE WERE THE SAILORS? Bligh repeated, on his cross-examination, that on getting to the deck it was some min- utes before he saw a single sailor, and when he did see them they were bringing baggage toward the boats. ‘This is the substance of Mr. Bligh’s testimony, which was unshaken bya severe cross-examination, and is fully confirmed by Miss Clymer, as will be here- after seen. It would appear that as soon as the disaster occurred the sailors overran the part of the ship devoted to the cabin passengers. Whether their object was to arouse the passengers or to secure valuables should be determined by a searching inves- tigation. HOW ROSA CLYMER Was SaveD, Miss Clymer stated to hef cousin, Mr. B. 8. Clymer, of Washington ‘City (a student of architecture in Paris, who hastened to her assistance, and is, now here), that she and her sisters were not assisted by the sailors in the slightest degree. Her brother (whose corpse is now here) let Miss Mary Clymer down over the ship’s side. She fell into the bottom of the boat, considerably stunned, but on her recovery she saw a body fall into the water beside the boat, and, putting out her hands, seized the per- son by the hair, She held on with all the desperation of despair, and with the assist- ance of those already in the craft, a young gitl was lifted into the boat, who proved to be her little sister Rosa. The boat then put off irom the ship, but Miss Mary Clymer says it was not near full. NO HELP FROM THE CREW, Io short, from the entire evidence, it is covered clear that the sailors did not assist the passengers, and they were obliged to help each other as best they could in the dark- ness and confusion of the moment. The Pommerauia's officers do not appear to have had the slightest control of the sailors under their command. It is, altogether, a deplorable showing of want of discipline and ungallant conduct on the part of the German sailors. The inquest was adjourned to give the chief mate an opportunity tor exculpating himself. NOT MUCH AFTER ALI. . The $25,000 belonging to one of the rescued passengers of the steamer Pom- merania, which was found in a small boat belonging to the steamer, was in the shape of a drait for that amount. PREPARATIONS FOR IDENTIFYING THE BODIES WHEN FOUND. The only additional information received at the office of the agents of the Hamburg-American Com- pany yesterday relative to the Pommeranian disaster was that conveyed in a cable despatch received by Kunhardt & Co., Broad street, dated at Hamburg, as follows :— Three officers remain at Dover to identify bodies, ‘The Captain is ill at Rotterdam, suffering from ex- haustion. The total number of missing is thirty- seven passengers and eleven sailors. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. A TRAIN WRECKED BY THE FAILURE TO TURN A SWITCH—-NO LIVES LOST. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Harrrorp, Con} OV. 29, 1878, For two years or more past the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad has been singularly fortu- nate in-the matter of accidents, and although a bad on occurred this evening at Newington Junction, five miles south of this city. The loss is merely of prop- erty. That hundreds were not slaughtered is only a matter of yood fortune and the power of the air-brakes promptly applied by the engi- neer. ‘The train was ths through New York and Boston express, which left the Grand Central Depot at three o'clock. For miles on either side of Newington Junction the train passes over a perfectly level track, Last evening, at twenty- four minutes past six, it passed the station at thirty- five miles an hour, and twenty seconds later swerved from the main line into a side track and plunged headlong into a lot of freight ears. The crash, which was a terrific one, is said to have been heard at a distance of two miles, and the escape of the train from beiug a total wreck was al- most miraculous. According to the statement of the engineer, he did not observe that the switch was out of place until his en- gine swung on to the siding. Then he whistled for brakes, and at the same time applied the full power of the air brake so suddency as to greatly check even the fearful momentum the train was under, He had about two hundred or three hundred feet, and the power of the brakes, even in this short distance, was wonderfnl. ¢ ‘A CRASH. But the train reached the empty freight cars, and in an instant the engine was a wreck and thrown upon her side. The tender slewed around and fell almost parallel, and the ‘baggage car was thrown directly across the two main tracks, remaining upright and uninjured, except that its trucks were swept away. Next was a Pullman palace car, which also lost its trucks and was canted over to an angle of forty-five degrees, but escaped other injury except the shattering of a few windows. The smoking car next in line lost its trucks, but re- mained on the track, and the remaining three cars, of the ordinary passenger class were not even derailed. ‘Che property loss was heavy, but not a rasxenger suffered by the collision other than a terri- le fright. ; ENGINEER AND ¥:REMAN. Otis C. Lacky, the engineer, who was found under part of the engine, had three ribs on the right side fractured arid received several severe bruises. He was taken to his home in Springfield. Jerome Piun- kett, of Springfield, the fireman, had even a more for- tunate escape, a medical examination revealing no in- i other than a fractured kneepen, The accident was wholly due to the failure of the station agent, John C. Sternberg, to turn back a switch after a freight train had gone from a side track into the main one. GENERAL SHERIDAN. WASHINGTON, Noy. 29, 1878, General Sherman to-day received a letter from Lieutenant General Sheridan, dated Chicago, Wednes- day, November 27, raying he would soon leave for New York direct to attend to the suit entered against him to recover over $400,000 damages for his seizure ofa sugar plentation in Louisians under the recon- struction acta. He says thaton his return to Chi- cago he will answer Secretary Scnurz’s letter calling for specifications in support of the General's charge of mismanagement of the Indian Department. ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED. LIEUTENANT (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Warentsa, W. Va., Nov. 29, 1878, Yesterday while three young men were tying up a raft near Elizabeth, W. Va., one of them, named Johnson Soonders, slipped into the water and was drowned. The body wus recovered. A MURDERER PROTECTED. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Civcrexatt, Onio, Nov, 29, 1878, Owing to the excited state of public opinion and the threats of lynch law, the Sheriff of Grant county, Ky., to-night removed Frank Turner to the Covington Jail for sate keoping. ‘Turner is the man who mur- dered Samuel Judd by cutting bis throat while Judd was on his knees begging his pardon for insulting Turner's younger brother.

ATTEMPT [0 RESCUE THE MURDERER aeomeamnnea The County Judge and Other Citi- zens Killed, AN APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR. pin eo Ad (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] aton, Nov. 29, 1878, Breathitt county, in this State, is in a state of civil war, Only w few years ago the military had to be sent to Jackson, the county seat, to protect the Cir- cuit Court while it was in session, and citizens of the place who were in Lexington recently declare it was the only peaceable session of court in that place held since the war. A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. The people who inhabit the creek bottoms between the mountains, secure in their almost inaccessible retreats, defy the law and its officers and wreak their Yengeance upon cach other according to the code of the assassin. The rifle aud the revolver are their constant companions, and their feuds frequently take upon them the character of pitched batiles. In these conflicts more men are often killed than in a heavy skirmish preceding a battle, from the fact that the men are dead shots with the rifle at from one to three hundred yards, and economize their bullets because of the scarcity of lead. Jackson, the county seat of Breathitt county, is located on the north fork of the Kentucky River, about one hundred miles from Lexington and seventy miles from a railroad or telegraph offi THE CAUSES OF THE TROUBLE. In the last election great bitterness of feeling arose between the two contesting candi- dates for County Judge—J, W. Burnett and Ned Strong—and their respective adherents. Captain Bill Strong, a noted desperado, assisted by the Freemans, a family of negroes—for there is no distinction between races up in that country—cham- pioned the side of Ned Strong. The Allens and the Littles are the names of other families who take a hand in every bloody affray that disgraces the county. Judge Burnett had also his special supporters, and but little inducement was wanting to cause an exchange of shots. Besides these causes of trouble there was last August a hotly contested election for School Commissioner, a mere nominal office, but very desirable to a citizen of a pauper county, ‘The opposing candidates were supported by the re- spective friends of Strong and Burnett. The race for judge reaulted in the election of Burnett, and that for commissioner in a drawn battle and an appeal to Frankfort. HORRIBLE WIFE MURDER, ‘The last addition of fuel to the flame was a horrible murder, A man named Jason Little, coming to hia home intgxicated, attempted to lead his horse into his house. His wife remonstrated, at which the drunken wretch drow his revolver and shot her im the abdomen, killing her and her unborn babe. The woman's brother witnessed the murder, but wax threatened with death if he informed anybody. Lit- tle buried his wife, giving ont that she died in labor. The crime leaked out, however. the body was ex. humed, the pistol shot woud fonnd, and Judge Bur nett committed Jason Little to jail without bail, sending him to Lexington for safekeeping. On Sat- turday last the Sheriff of the county came to Lexing- ton for Little, bringing @ strong armed guard to conduct the prisoner back to Breathitt. BLOODSHED AND LAWLESSNESS, He was confronted by his own deputy, named Little, a relative of the murderer, who also had an armed guard and came to demand the prisoner. For some time it looked as if a bloody tragedy would be enacted upon the streets of Lexington, but the pres- ence of police officers and other influences prevailed to prevent this. The prisoner was delivered to the Sheriff and his party, who openly said that he ex- pected an attempt at rescue before he reached Jack- son. Both parties started for home by different routes, and reached there on Monday, when a scene of bloodshed and general lawlessness ensued that al- most beggars description. THE MOB IN CONTROL. A letter written from Jackson on Wednesday a1 ‘The town is under control of a mob. Good citizens are fleeing for their lives. Women and children are xecking shelter from any who will protect them. The officers of the law are defied, and havoc and desola- tion prevail. Men, drunk and wild with frenzy, arined to the teeth with pistols and guns, are walking the streets, yelling at the top of their voices, proclaiming who they intend to kill, In fact it is ax much as your life is worth toappear upon the streets, for you arc liable to be attacked by either or both partics at any moment. This ix the third day of thix terrible condition of affaire, This people have been sorely afflicted in the past, but the outrages and law- Jexsness then are not to be compared with the ter- rible crimes of this week. BATTLE OF THE CLANS. Judge William Randall convened the Breathitt Cir- exit Court on Monday morning, instructed the Grand Jury and adjourned till afternoon. During the after- noon John Aikman, leading about adozen men, dashed into town on horseback, armed with p.stols and guns, dismounted and furiously attacked Captain Bill Strong's clan, who were standing on the street in front of Breeding’s stor ‘Thirty or forty shots were discharged, two taking effet on William and Daniel Freeman, the former shot through the body, the lat- ter through the head. They were removed late in the evening to their homes several miles up the river, and it is reported to-day that Daniel Freeman is re- covering but William is dead, FIGHTING IN THE STREETS, and his followers received no injuries, but led themselves in @ little log cabin about 100 Stron, barrie yards from the Court House, where they had pre- viously stacked their arms. Aikman and his party sought shelter in the Court House, and a regular interchange of shots was kept up during the after- noo! One of the Freemans, who fell in the middle of the street when shot, was forced to lie there for two hours, his triends fearing to attempt his removal during this strife. Hideous yells and shouts of defiance could be heard from both parties, DREAD OF THE CITIZENS, The Court was puzzled, the officers of the law dumbfounded, The citizens watched from a distance, and not a single effort was made to quell the bloody riot, At last with light came hope, and all was quiet save the bedlam whoop of ‘the drunken rabble. There was no sleep or rest, everybody living in dread expectancy of the morrow, aud slowly next morning (Tuesday) as light was thrown upon the scene it was discovered that Aikman and party had withdrawn from the Court House and quartered themselves near the river bank, while Strong and his clan held their fort still, One by one the citizens made their appearance in the street, congratulating themselves that the war was over, About ten o'clock Strong retired aud soon thereafter straggling drunken men, well armed, began to parade the streets in defiance of all Jaw and order, It was whispered that the guard which bad been sent to Lexington un- der charge of the Sheriff to bring back Jason Little would soon return, and an effort would be made to risoner, Deputy Little and guard had to the credit, however, of John Aik- it said, he refused to participate in this crime, and left for home. THE MURDERER IN JAIL, A willing leader was found in a justice of the peace named J. C, B. Allen, supported by the Titties, Crawfords and others, numbering about forty, who loitered about the strects impatiently waiting for the guard to appear. Judge Randall, to defeat the aim of the mob, had the deputy Sheriff and County Judge to’ detail an extra guard of fit. teen men, who went under the loaler- ship of the County Judge, John W. Burnett, to the assistance of the Sheriff. About three o'clock P. M. they returned with the prisoner and safely confined him in jail, the guard numbering about twenty-five wellarmed men.
