The Affair at Niagara Falls.
Quito an excitement prevailed at Niagara Falls
yesterday, in consequence of tiie arrest of a
person employed as a waiter at the Cataract
House, on a charge of murder, by Deputy Mar
shal J. K. Tyler and officer lfoyington, of
this city.
We give the facts of the case as we received
them from the officers who made the capture
of the supposed criminal. A few days
since Mr. Tyler received a newspaper and a
letter through the post office from Saratoga, the
paper being the Savannah Courier, ami contain
ing notices of various rewards offered for the
apprehension of the murderer of Mr. James M.
Jones, on the Oth of July, 1849 ; and the letter
being addressed by the brother of the murdered
man to the deputy marshal of the district, and con
veying information that the offender was suppo
sed to he acting in the capacity of a waiter at
the Cataract House at the Falls.
The first notice of reward is dated July 0,
1849, and is offered by the Mayor of Savannah,
the sum being S2OO, and the murderers at that
time being unknown. The next is $ 12,000, of
fered by Malcolm D. Jones, a relative of the
deceased, for the apprehension and conviction of
the offenders ; and the third of S3OO, offered by
Alfred E. Jones, for the arrest of Patrick Sneed,
lie being then discovered to havo been the
murderer.
Some weeks since, a citizen of Savannah,
being at tho Falls, discovered in the person of
one. of the waiters the man Patrick Sneed, and
communicated the fact to Mr. A. E. Jones,
whom lie subsequently met at Saratoga.—
Hence Mr. Jones’ information to the deputy
marshal.
Upon enquiry at the Falls, Messrs. Tyler and
Boyington discovered that the man Sneed
was passing at the Cataract House by the
name of Jos. Watson, and had been employed
there about two years. His appearance left no
doubt in tho minds of tho officers as to identity
with Patrick Sneed, the murderer of Mr. Jones,
and they therefore proceeded on Sunday to
make the arrest.
Having applied to the proprietors of the
house for their assistance, which however they
declined to give, although desirous of offering
no obstruction to the law, the officers after
dinner instructed a hoy to call their man from
the room, on pretence of being desirous of re
munerating him for his attendance upon them
while iit dinner.
The ruse succeeded, and Sneed or Watson
came into the hall. He was immediately ad
dressed by the name of “Patrick” by Officer
Tyler, and told that he was arrested on a charge
of murder. Mr. Boyington then clapped a
handcuff’ upon one of his wrists, hut before he
could fasten it on the other the fellow shouted
lustily for assistance, and some seventy to a hun
dred negroes came pouting out of tho door of
the dining room into the hall.
By this time the officers had got their prison
er to tho front piazza, but ho was speedily
clutched by tho waiters and dragged hack into
tho dining hall, tho officers following, without
relinquishing their grasp. In the hall he was
torn from their hands, nearly every vestige of
clothing being stripped from his person. The
doors at the end of the hall were then shut
and barred, a number of the waiters remaining
outside and obstructing the passage of the two
officers who endeavored to light their way
through the crowd.
At this time, a gentleman in the hotel called
upon the guests to assist the officers, hut all was
confusion and uproar, and none appeared anx
ious to interfere; the gentleman himself was
struck at by a negro, who was armed with a
hatchet, hut ho warded off’ the blow and knock
ed his assailant down with a chair. He then
shouted for his pistols, and his wife, who was
among the outside crowd, quickly brought them
down. They were not, however, used.
Finding their efforts to reach the door fruit
less, Boyington drew a revolver, and placing it
to one man’s head pulled the trigger. The cap
missed fire, thus saving the man’s life, but the
act occasioned a stampede, and the officers for
ced in tile door. By this time the man had been
got out at the back of the premises and was
hurried down the steps to the ferry and placed
in a boat.
The ferryman, however, after getting into
the middle of the stream, returned to shore in
tho other boat, leaving his cargo in charge of
some of his companions, iti order to ascertain
with what offence the man was charged. Upon
learning the truth ho signified to the officers
that he would drop down the river and land
their man at the steamboat landing above the
suspension bridge. Tyler and Boyington quick
ly started for this point, hut they were prece
ded and followed by troops of negroes, some
two hundred and fifty of whom arrived at the
landing before them.
Finding a band of Irish laborers, some three
hundred in number, near the spot, the officers
requested their assistance, which was willingly
given, and the newly found allies set to work in
earnest, strewing tho ground with negroes,
knocking down all who opposed them, and
pursuing the refugees with stones and yells.
The blackguards showed fight for a few min
utes, but soon they left the field in possession
of the assailants, who seemed to the sport
and to live Donnybrooke fairly over again. The
officers having now a clear field, landed their
prisoner, placed him in a carriage, drove some
distance until they reached the Lockport rail
road, when they took the cars for Buffalo. The
accused was safely lodged in jail, and will be
conveyed to Savannah as soon as the necessary
papers can he obtained.
e learn that the man arrested has no negro
blood in his veins. He is by trade a cooper, is
about ;> leet 7 inches high, has red hair and is
slightly freckled. The description in the Sa
vannah papers fils him exactly. Our officers
displayed much promptness and courage, and
deserve the highest praise for their conduct du
ring the exciting scene.
ihe hearts of two such men would not quail
before a whole army of lawless desperadoes,
nor would any consideration of personal safety
deter them from doing their whole duty in eur
rving out the law. —Buffalo Commercial, of

The Cherokee Election. Sometime this
month the Cherokee nation in the West holds
its election for members of the National Coun
cil and Sheriff. The red skin candidates have
taken the stump, the townships have been
canvassed, the people have been harangued
and ere this they have obeyed the city of
“Rally Freemen to the Polls! and exercised
the invaluable right of suffrage. Among the
candidates for the dignities of the nation
wo observe the names of the following gen
tlemen :
Daugh-at-Mush, Joseph Cornsilk,
Ti-til-se-na Hog, Fool Peter,
Little Hair, Young Squirrel,
Josiali Deer-in-Water, Wall-yon Skee,
VVjiortle Berry, Spring Frog.
These are the names for the vox popul to
to sound through the trumpet; these are names
to arouse the patriotism and the energies of
partisans, and to excite an enthusiasm at the
polls of the ahoriginies quite equal to any ever
got up by their fellow citizens of the European
races. We shall look anxiously to see wheth
er Josiali Deer-in-Water, Esq., has been
swamped, or Whortle Berry, Esq., plucked, or
Little Hair, Esq., has been scratched; and, the
only reason that we can see why the result of
this interesting election lias not been made pub
lic by the telegraph, are that the operators have
been fantic an the magnets have gone crazy in
endeavoring to transmit the names of such vic
tors as Ti-ul-se-na Hog, or Wali-you-skee.
