Skntknck cik Chockkit.—The Superior Court
Kooiu was, yefrteiday morning, densely crowded, to
iiaar the sentence of the law passed upon Kadtord
Ctix ketk
About nine o'clock, Judge Bull entered the room,
and Court having been duly opened, the prisoner
win bo-ught in and took his seal, with his father by
his side, immediately in front of the Bench. The
poor yonug man—Tor h does not seem more than
21—appeared terribly afft-cted by his miserable Mi
runt ion lie wept most of the time during the de
livery of th sentence, and hi* frame seemed over
<4)u\e with the internal agony that was writing it.
The prisoner being arraigned, was asked if he
had am thing U say why sentence es death should
not be pronounced on him. He stood ftp and re
plied thAt he had nothing.
The Judge then said, substantially, “liadford
Crockett, you have been arraigned for the crime of
murder—au2 you have voluntarily confessed to hav
ing e. nan tilted *Jtie of the must revolting deeds iu
nature. It au iuex(rable law—both human and
diyinb—-HiaT‘ : whose sheddeth man and blood by man
Mhnir hia btnqß be .shed.” livery principle’of law,
and eatery tiling m qrmrW demands tin* penalty for
tile co:i*idera&n o| au offence soy whi*ih the an
nals of crime contain fcoofee a parallel. 1 have
grown old. on l Iveard of many awiul murders, but
never btd<ire Wve I known one as atrocious, aud
utterly defenceless as this. But I will not dwell
long®** <ni this.
Unhandy mau, yau have now nethiug left for
you W do, but to prepare fora future state, the
thing# of this world afe as nothing to you, your on
ly hope i* at the box of God. Spotted as your soul
may be with bleed, there in .still hope ot pardon
there. The evident contrition manifested by yon
in your whole conduct shows that there is a moral
principle still lingering within, capable of develop®-
m#nt. The avowal of your crime, aud the evident
working oi conscience a ithin are all favorable signs.
However, then, there maybe no farther hope for
you on this side of the toinb, 1 pray you to make
your peace with your Maker. Mauv good and holy
men of this nlaee will doubtless frequently visit
vou and lend you all tle assistance you may need.
Ic-t me advise you to listen to their counsel, and
prepare for the day that muet terminate your exis* j
taw*©.
I would not close this without making an admo- ■
niti*?i to ail who are present, and especially to the
youth now before me, as to the consequence® which i
follow the rommisrion of crime. This scene or some
other like this, is the end of all such careers, aud it
is sure to overtake the guilty.
And now. unhappy man, nothing is left for me,
but to pronounce that sentence which ie imposed by *
the law on your oflVhoe. Tim sentence is, “That !
you be taken from the bar of this Court to the com
mon jail of the county, and there be kept iu dote
confine nent ant i Friday, the 18th day of June
next, from whence you are tbe to be taken, by
the Bht riff or Deputy Sheriff of the county, to the
common place ctexrtoutfon, and between the
ot ten o'clock in the forenoon, and iwo o’olook in
uftettuxiU, you are to be hung by the neck until
▼ui* re dead. And may God have mercy on your i
sou! “
Th® prisoner, on the conclusion, was audibly
hei *d “May Get! have mercy on me.”

The dbinmuii.’y whs b!icoked Monday morning, on
hearing that Wm. T. the firm of Wv. O.
Pwt £ Sc Cos., of ibis city, hart committed cuieirt©
i yesterday (Sunday) in his room, by shooting hirr
j self thrdbgh the heart with a pistil. The cause is
| Huppesed to be monetary cinbarraHSmeiit, which
opiated Lbo pov/evfuily on a sensitive mind. The
circumstances riicw-that the act was committed
with great deliberation. Sometime after breakfast,
(at which he appeared very cheerful,) about 10
o’clock, he complained of a severe headache and re.
tired to bii.room, expressing a desire to take ft nap
of sleep. Not long after, the inmates of the build
ing heard a rep- il which they supposed was caused
by the shimming'of a door; as the wind was blow
ing a stiff breeze at the time, and thought nothing
•if jt. - At. dinner time the gentleman who occupied
riiq adjoining room, and to whom fie had complain
ed ofjieadache, rapped at the door to call him to
dir.fter, but receiving no response, concluded he was
cither asleep or had gone out. .Again, at tea time,
be rapped, but received no answer. Later at
night, between ft and 10 o’clock, .I'fiiencf called and
atikdd At Ingram, when the circumsfrlnceß were
detailed—Wberdupou they determined to go io bia
room and See whether he was in, and if still asleep
to arouse him, of administer to his wants if he need
ed niiytliibg. On examination they discovered boil*
doors locked, and on entering the room, through a
winflow, found him in bed, Kfeit*&?, He had -un
dressed, and got. into bed, and after covering Lim
•seh’ up, placed the pUtoLagailist his left breast aud
fired, tle ball passing through liie heart ftnd lodging
in the skin below the right shoulder blade.
Mr. Ingram was a native of Albany, New Vork,
bnt had resided in this city for over twenty years,
where he had made many w armly attached friends,
who sincerely deplore this melancholy tormina* ion
of his career. Peace to hie aeliee.
A Game Law.
Thf. Legislature of Maryland have wisely passed a
law for *bs protection of partridges, pheasants and
quails in Baltimore, Howard, Auue Arundel, Carroll,
Calvert, Washington, Frederick, Allegany. Kent,
St. Mary’s, Somerset, Cecil, Anue s aud Dor
chester counties. The penalty is $5 for each and
every offence ; and taverns and restaurant keepers
are liable to the same tine if they expose or offer
for sale any such birds during the periods that the
law protects them from the gun or trap, viz:
Woodcock’- between the Ist of February and the
lOth of June—Pheasants between the la* of Feb
ruary and the Jitb day* of August—and Patridgea
cud Quails between the 15th of January and the
Ist of October.
This is a wise and pal ut ary law, and should be
enacted by event State, else tlie time is not far dis
tant, when game will be almost entirely extinct
wi‘hia their limits. All game birds and animale
should be protected during the spring, summer and
autumn mouths, to afford them every opportunity
to rear their young. And it is only by affording
t hen* such prot ction, th&l we may hope to have
game in any abundance, in the old and deoeely
populated States. It is folly to expect to preserve
ga oe, without game laws, which will protect Item
?igdinst the vandalism that destroy© the'parents
during incubation or gestation or at any.period im
mediately preceding or subsequent. We do no't
desir • to see tbo laws ou tbe subject; as etriugeut as
tins.*, of Lr rtand or Europe, because they are not
adapted to our institutions or the character and
•ftt.fo of our people. Ail we want is, that a law be !
enacted, rroubitfog tbeJcillmg of game during the
pprmg and ummermontJifl. Such a law, if rigidly
nut'>v • and, would protect the game, and affero a
ncueh more abundant supply than now exists in any
part of the-country.

An Accident on the River.— We learn from
Ci© Constitutionalist of Sunday, that a serious acci
dent-to life and property occurred about a week
ago on the river some miles above Augusta. One
Os the pole bouts owned by Mr. McCurry, who re
ticles. we believe, iu Elbert county, and whkh had
been employed in conveying cotton and other pro
dime to this market, and also for the purpose of
transporting goods and merchandise to persons re
siding on the river, was capsized by coming in col
lision wkh a rock, in a very *ift running portion
of the stream. A man by the name of Mastias, and
two negro men were drowned. Goods to the value
of about two thousand dollars were lost.
It is stated that the persons who were drowned
Were active and expert swimmers, aud the only
person on the boat whose life was saved was a man
totally unable to swim ; but he was fortunate in ob
taining a plank or some other buoyant article and
reached the shore.

The Crevasse jn the Mississippi at New
Orleans —The Picayune of Sunday says:—The
crevasse above this city is now one of the most
fashionable of resorts. Hundreds of visitors are
daily going and returning, and the neighborhood is
jhronged with the curious, gazing upon the wild
rush of waters, the workmen struggling against
their sweeping tide, and the expanded lake where
lately were cultivated fields. There is no abatement
in the current which sets back from the river, but
the contractors at work attempting to close the
erevtiEse"have made good progress. A steam piling
machine was got in order yesterday, in the morning,
ati the work Os driving piles commenced. Before
night rows had been driven almost entirely across
the chasm. A large number of hands were employ
ed in preparing sand bags and bringing them to
t he spot where they arc to be used.
The mode by which the crevasse is proposed to
be stopper!, is to drive three rows of piles lo that
when the third is completed, a sufficient space will
not remain between the piles to permit a sand bag
t.o be swept sway, vast quantities of whioh are to
be thrown down in front of the piles.
The superintendent of the work feels confident
tliat it will soon be successfully completed. The
weight of water which must press upon the barri
cade now being built, when once the rush of water
is arrested, we think, renders the matter somewhat
problematical. The parties engaged on the work,
ami better acquainted with it than ourselves, how
ever, think differently.
The water begins to appear from the swamp in
the rear of the town of Gretna, and if the crevasse
be not soon closed, all the villages on the other side
of the river will sefiously suffer.

Washington, April 21, 135 8.
The report of the select committee on the subject,
of the public printing, made by the Hon. Geo. ,Tay
lor, of New York, i9 elaborate and interesting.
The committee say, among other thing#*, thaHTie
public printer elected by the Thirty-tMrd Congresj
and the public printer Os the Senate of the Thirty
fourth Congress contracted, each one respectively,
with another or third party to do the required work,
reserving eaoh to himself a large per ventage,
whioh was as a net reward or protit for s mply ta
king, under tin name of public printer, the printing
of Congress and sub letting it to “uother. neither ot
them having done any portion of the work himself.
The public pr oter, elected by the House for the
Thirth-fborth Congress (Wendell,) did the required
House printing hiuiselt. and, in addition, as sub
contractor under the Senate nrinter, did the print
ing of the Seoafc for that Cungftfes, as >w did all of
the printing for the public printers of both*be Senate
and House of the Thirty-third Congress, and ia nq>v
do'ug that for the public printers ot both the Sen
ate aud the House of the present Congress. More
over, the same party, sub -Contractor under the
Senate and House officials, is printing the Post
Office blanks as a sub-contract or for the person
having that contract.
The per centage paid by the sub-eon tractor above
mentioned to the various pub'ic printers designa
ted—emolument of their mere sinecure offices—
amounts at present to about *20,000 per month.—
And this includes no allowance of per centage upon
the House printing for the Thirty-fourth Congress—
the subcontractor mentioned (Wendell) as public
printer of .that body, doing that work for hiiuselt as
principal, aud so being saved any payment for pri
vilege. The gross amount so paid, as stated, as
per centage or bonus for privilege, by the party
now doing the public printing for officials rtf the
government, varies but little from two hundred
and forty thousand dollars a year At the same
time he realizes over and above that vast profit, a
handsome reserve profit for himself. The printing
of neither the Thirty-third nor the Thirty-fonth
Congress is yet completed, but that for both is in
course of execution. Therefore, the aggregate of
per centage named as being paid to the officials by
the sub contractor, who is doing the work, is the
percentage on that printing, on the printing for the
present Congress, and on the printing of Postofliee
blanks, which is separate from the Congressional
printing, and amounts to about fifty thousand dollars
per year.
In the matter of the binding of Congress and the
departments, a similar state of facts has been fund
to exist. The House binding for the Thirty fourth
Congress may be taken as a fair illustration of the
manner iti which that work has generally been exe
cuted. That binding was contracted to be done at
twenty-two per cent less than former prices. The
person contracting (Williams, of Ohio,) sold that
contract, or re-let the work to be done, to a gentle
man of Washington, for the consideration of twenty
per cent to be paid him on the gross amount of blud
mg done, and this sub-contractor again sub let his
contract to another or third party, tor the consider a
tion to be paid him of one-half of the profits on the
doing of the work, after the deduction ot the twenty
per oent to be paid the birder who had contracted.
Upon information which this committee are not dis
posed to question, it ia believed that the twenty per
cent reserved by that contractor to be paid him by
ti e first sub contractor has already amounted to
*33,000, and that the second sub contractor has re
ceived a vt ry considerable sum out ot profits which
have been made in doing the work, after the pay
ment of the twenty per cent to the first contractor, as
stipulated iu his contract. It is just to the third
party, or second sub -contractordoing the work, to
add that he has been so satisfied with the reaidum
to himself under hisjeontritat as to have fell impelled,
for what he received, to do the binding in a better
manner than much of that heretofore done
The committee say this particular illustration has
been selected, not with a view to find fault with the
first contractor, but as aptly showing the general
practice of persons assuming to do the public work,
who, not themselves tor the most part mechanics,
but speculators, obtain contracts arid use mechanics
to execute them under a reserve from the actual
operatives cf a large per centage us profit to them
selves.
The gross amount of binding for the Thirty-third
Congress is *588,458, and that, for the Thirty-fourth,
*365,033. But, in addition to the Congressional
works, there is a large amount of binding annually
done for the several Executive departments and
bureaus. The prices are much higher than those
established by Congress. The work is given out
without system, and with little or no regard for
economy. The binding for the departments and
bureaus, including the printed heads in some in
stances, for the year 1857, amounted in gross io
*77,590, aud will probably be about the same for
the present year.
The committee have ascertained that the engra
ving for Congress and the departments can be done
for rally thirty-three and a third per cent, less than
is now paid. The wood engraving for the Patent
Office report for 1857 may be taken in illustration of
a general manner. Those engravings cost the go
vemment per page of ‘.hirty-three and a th rd inches
*26 50. The person contracting had a large part of
the work done in New York, and thus he sold or
sub let his contract to a second party at a very large
discount from the price which he himself was to re
ceive from the government; that second party
again sub let his contract to a third party, who ae
tually did the work for *l6 per page.
The committee are assured that the whole cost, of
the engraving—the wood, the drawing aud the
electrotyping—need and ought not to have been
more than $22 per page, while it cost the govern
ment *3210.
The whole amount of the coat of engravings, litho
graphs aud electrotypes for the Thirty third Con
gress is *829,858.25 ; that for the same for the Thir
ty fourth Congress is *351,854.62. The saving of
but twenty per cent, on these large amounts, more
than which it was posssible :o have made, would
have left with the government an aggregate—now
gone to contractors and speculators, not to mefito
rious artisans —of *237,342.57.
Abuses as to the quality of paper, &e., were like
wise discovered.
The grand total of the cost of printing, binding,
engraving, lithographing and electrotyping of Con
gress and of the departments during the Thirty-third
Congress—that is, ter two years—is. .*2,786,296.98
Amount paid lor the Congressional
Globe for the Thirty-third Congress. 239,640.91
Total *3,025,837.92
Cost for the same during the Thirty
fourth Congress * *1,873,707 31
Paid to Globe 257,904 28
Total ~.*2,131,611.59
Add to these large amounts $150,0011 per annum lor
stationery in the departments, the clerks’offices
and folding rooms, making $300,000 per Congress.
The Committee, with a view to end the abuses in
the present system, propose to establish a bureau
for the execution of printing, binding, engraving,
&a, the otDee of Superintendent to be abolished
They are satisfied that, while the present specula
tions will be removed, the work generally can be
done by this means, at a saving of at least thirty or
forty per cent to the government.
The report of the minority of the Committee ou
Printing, proposes that all the work connected with
tbe printing shall be given to the lowest bidder.
Suit for the Recovert of a Child. —The
Cleveland (Tenu.) Bannerol Friday last says On
Saturday last our town was the scene of a very
novel and exciting law suit, about a girl child two
years of age. As there was considerable feeling
about it among a portion of our population, we
have, at the suggestion of some friends, concluded
to give the facts as elicited before the court, and
the result of the same, omitting names, through
courtesy to the parlies, as we think very highly of
both of them. The suit was between a husband
and wife, who, from some cause Dot developed
upon trial, separated in the State of Alabama, as
to which was entitled to tbe child. It was proven
that both parties were worth thirty thobsand dollars
each—that their characters were irreproachable—
kind and affectionate to the child (the only issue)—
that the father had restrained the child in Alabama
from tbe society of its mother—that in January last
the father took the child and left Alabama and came
to East Tennessee, where he has remained 6Ver
since—that during that time the mother sought
every means to find out where tbe child was and
only succeeded a few days before.
The child was brought up before Judge Gaut
under a writ of habeas corpus—(he Hon. G. W
Kowles for the husband, and Hon. John H. Crozier
for the wife—the facts above were elicited, when
tie case was argued at length by the counsel—au
thorities referred to—and we must say that we nev
er heard a case argued with more utility than was
displayed ou this occasion—it was Greek against
Greek, but a woman was in one side of the scales
and it turned the tide of war—by the time the argu
ment was closed the multitude had warmed up—tie
sympathy of the crowd had flowed to the woman—
suspense and anxiety were on tiptoe—various opin
ions were exchanged as to who would get the “ba
by"—lawyers differed aud the thing was In oncer
tainty, but Judge Gaut settled the question. After
recapitulating the points made in arguing the case,
examining tbe evidence, and looking to the claims
of bcth parties—the relative position of the child
to each parent —its tender age—its mother having
been deprived of its society, decided that It should
be delivered over to its mother, who should take it
to the State of Alabama, where her home was, and
where it was bom, and there—if tbe parties were
not satisfied—the matter conld be adjudicated by
tbe laws of that State. We are not much of a
Judge but we think this was a righteous decision,
although it was a delicate one. To make the mat
ter short, the woman has got the baby and gone
home—the excitement has died away in Cleveland,
and everything is going on os quietly as if there
never bad been a baby in it- Hope it will remain
so. *.
A French Colony in Illinois. —The Boston
Transcript states that steps have been taken to se
cure a traot of eighteen hundred acres of land for
a settlement of a French Protestant colony, a por
tion of the historical Waldensian people, a noble,
simple race, whose sufferings for consoieiice sake
have excited the sympathies of the whole eivilized
world. It is said that ,preparai ions for the first.in
stalment of emigrants have been already made,
about a hundred acree having been sowed in wheat
They are soon expected. Emigrants, whether Pro
testant or Catholic, who flee to tliis country to es
cape from civil or ecclesiastical despotism will ever
be cordially welcomed, and find a secure asylumn
in the United States.

pieacher, of Lexington, Va., has beeu arrested for

own freedom and set up a team on the street. He
has beeu sent to prison for trial.

Brightman, of the aohoouer N. K. Jiorden, in re
ference to an alleged outrage on the American ting
by the British steam aloop-of-war •■■Styx t an ac
count of which we gave aoine ten days ago. From
the commendable jealousy of the present'Adtumis
trntion, of rights and honors of Amerioin citiptos;
and of Ihe Ametioau flag, it is strongly ■miapr-eted
that the enquiry emanated from lioart qunr.efSj at
Washington. The case to tic appears sufficiently
llagrant to call for a thorough examination, and we
hope no effort will be spared to stop the annoy
anees so frequently practiced of late upon peace*,
bte American traders by British ships of war, upon
groundless suspicions tliat they were slavers.-. At
the time Capt. Brightmau was overhauled, he was
loaded very deep aud had molasses ou (leek, 1 Hik

have heard of two or three other stsbela bafbg

that the attention of tlie f+overumeni. l*iw been at
