that sriniethiug-vrns the matter,pressed up
on mm a nisclnsure, when the voiqig man,
upon enjoining secrecy. staled tliat he was
about to play a trick, hod nbumhmed lus
horse, saddle, ifad bridle, for that purpose,
and was then on lus way. for sonic distant
place where he would nover ho heard from
igafa. The witness described his person,
lathing, &c. ami was positive as to the
identity ofhis person. Two other witness-
examined on tiio part of the uncle,
by whom it appeared that a young man,
corresponding' precisely with thd descrip
tion of .Samuel Siainlifor, -hud lodged in
the house of,onqof them on that night,and
related to them that he was by the name of
Stnndifcr, and nephew to tins aecttsed.
This evidence being so full and explicit
that tho voting man was still living, the
uncle and his sons were immediately dis
charged.
The uncle had his friends, conscious of
their innocence, rind the more fully to ac
quit themselves of tho unjust imputation,
immediately despatched a messenger in
search of the nephew, who, after 8 or 10
days, found him nerif Florence,and brought
him in triumph to Huntsville, alive* last
Sunday evening. Thereby giving an oc-
cular demonstration to a jealous and high
ly incensed community ,tlmt they hail been

man resorted to this nefarious and wicked
stratagem to effect his uncle’s destruction;
and actually cut his own 6hger, stained his
bridle, aud saddle, and left them and his
horse nt Wsimcle’s cotton gin, for the ex
press purpose of inducing the public to be

most diabolical soliome. But his plot fail

punishment due to his perfidy. In addi-
tion to the eviderico given on tlio trial of.
the undo, it is proper Jo mention, that the
young man, before his departure,lmd made
a confident of another uncl^'to'' whom lie
disclosed his -wicked intentions, npd erf-
joined upon him perpetual secrecy, But
when the intended victim was found ih jeo
pardy, tho undo promptly interposed and
disclosed the whole scheme., The * result
of this cose adds another lesson to the ma

confidence is to be placed i rxei rcu instant iai

no doubt, have suftered death in asirriilnr

DECISION OF BLANK BALLOTS.
If any doubt could lie entertained of the
From -the Mat.Intelligencer ttlh >dt.
It fa a say ing which wm f»nvo>- much ad
mired; as applied to political questions,
that those who are not for nsar'e. against n*.
iffifte Legislature of New York, by their
decision, have given a new redding to it,
wltieh we like still less, viz, that those who
are aoainsT us are you us. It could oti-
ly hnvd been upon this principle tliat they
decided that ?S was a majority of 157.
Lct nd oub suppose that wb object to this
decision merdy because of the great in
justice which it Inis effectedth the partic
ular case in which it occured. Wc take,
it is true, some concern in that, but we
feel a much deeper interest in the pdrity
of our elections'—in the keepingthem free
from corruption, trick, and artifice; To
the candor of those disposed to defend
whatever isdonc injuriously to Mr Craw
ford without a particular scrilttyy into the
incans by which it is done, We put this
question : If tho 78 members of the Le
gislature were coilfideitt of their having
a majority with them, why did tlidy so ve
hemently oppose the very just opinion (as
wo think it) of tlio Lieutenant Governor
Root, tlmt a second ballot was necessary
in regard to all the candidates for electors
but these who hud a majority of all the bal
lots 1
We will barfly refer io a Case of anal
ogy between the established practice in
Legislative Bodies, and what wc believe
was only proper course to have been pur
sued in the case before us. It is the uni
versal rule of Legislative Bodies, that eve
ry member present at the decision of any
question must rote upon it in one way or
other. What is this but to pay there shall
he no blank votes l It is the duty of every
man to vote, and he must not evade its
performance.
Again: the Members were culled upon
to vote for A. or B. But they voted for
C. They voted out ef the record t and
tho obvious course was to require them to
vote within it. This case, it will he seen,
is widely dilferent from the case of an ri
pen election where every individual lms
an option to vote or not, and, if lie votes,,
is not limited to a choice of A or B, lmt
may vote for any mnii he pleases, even for
oue who does not possess the requisite le
gal qualifications.

Tlie other fire-ships Jjijon advanced . and
spread destruction amongst the Turkish
fleet. The intrepidity displayed by the'
Greek mariners, on this occasion, appears
to have been fully equal to the highest de
cree of gallantry they have shown in their
boldest exploits: and their Tpss is accord
ingly stated fa the official accounts not to
have exceeded three persons- Canaris
we arc glad to find, is not amongst the
number. The immediate consequence of
the victory was the dispersion and flight
of the troops, who were enconrpcd on the
adjoining continent; and pho were eye
witness of tlie conflagration of the Cap
tain Pacha’s fleet. Tlie Greek Admiral,
in the' conclusion of his despatch, presses
for a supply of fire-ships, in order that he
might complete the destruction of the re
masnded of the Turkish Vfsaels, before
they recover from the panic : and lie then
proposes to encounter the Egyptinn fleet.
There seems to be every- probability that
tlie Greeks will revy speedily annihilate
tlic Turkish marine.'

Two of their frigates were burned during
the action, and 70 transports were des
troyed. Three corvettes were captured,
and tile less of the Mussel men in lives
was very great. This information has
been received by the way of Leghorn,
Trieste and Marseilles; and if it required
any confirmation, the last Ausfain Ob
server, received in England, must remove
every doubt of the fact of a great victory
having been obtained, for it, with unwont
ed candpur, adtoits the leading features
of this naval engagement.
The regular French mail arrived at ft

Huntsville, (AlahV) N6v.‘ 2.—The
most extraordinary case has just happen
ed in this county that hus ever occurred
wiihiu ourreeoliectibn. Samuel W. San
difer.a yourigmarf-bfresiiectablo conncc'
tions, suddenly disappeared op Thursday
pvenihg of the 21st filtimo, in a way so
mysterious as to induce a general belief in
the,neighborhood that lie was murdered.
Suspicion immediately attached to his un
cle Jesse Standifer, an old and highly res
pectable citizen, with whom there was
known to be a misunderstanding. But
" bat gave coloring to the supposition that
he was murdered, and that his uncle was
the perpetrator of the foul deed; was
that the next morning the young man’s
horse, saddle and bridle, were found at tlic
old gentleman’s cotton gin, about two hunj
dred yards from bis dwelling* Upon in
spection, the saddle and briddlo were
found to be stained with blood; the bridle
reins contained several spots, and the sad
dle was marked with a large impression
as if faadc with a bloody hand..
This discovery at once fixed the guilt up-
on the unfortunate uncle, and the Xyhole
neighborhobd were excited to an active
inquiry into the eirifamstanccs. It >verc
needless to repeat the many idle reports
which immediately took wing upon the
occasion. Search,ivas made for several
ddj^s for the murdered riiirfii fait in vain;
he was' not to be fouucL Guilt,- heverthc-.
less, was fixed Upon theufide, and fib was
forthwith arrested, with his two sons, arid
brought befofQ.a magistrate for .faquiry,
when the following facts -(verc diftclosftd.
I( was proved by tli6 uncle that the youijg
man was seen by a neighbor of (!>6 first
respectability, on the evening of lus de
parture, ridiiig on tho road which lends Iry
the unclq’s; that after tlie young man had
passed bis uncle’s about two and a lmli'
miles, the witness,bet veen 7 and 8 o’clock
at night, overtook him on foot, stopped and
conversed with him for several minutes.
The witness, suspecting from hie conduct
the most important proceedings in Con
gress, the Into decision in the Legislature
of New-York would tend , to remove it.
The proceeding, of which the following
account; is .copied from the Nationnl In
telligencer of May 26, 1809, appears to
huvebeon wholly Uriknowii to,that body.

This being the day. fixed on by law for
tho meeting of Congress, one hundred and
twenty members appearing, nt 12 o’clock^
the House proceeded to tjie choice of a

Messrs N. R. Moore, C.utts, arid Por
ter, were appointed tellers of the votes.

Blank Ballots 2
Mr; Vurnitfa having 60 votes, it was sub
mitted to the decision of the House, by tlie
tellers, whether the blank ballots cotild lie
considered as votes; if not, there being
but 118 votes, Mr. Vatfaum having 00, had
a majority. > v
Mr. \V. Alston’ coticbived that there
could be no doubt on the subject; that
blank pieces of paper could not be consid
ered its votes. He instanced the -case
which occurred in the famous balloting
for President, in tlie year 1801, at which
time, after a number of ballotings, the state
of Maryland, which was divided, gave in
four blank votes, and thus decided the elec
tion.
Mr. Macon thought there could be no
question on the subject. He also recollec
ted the case of the Presidentitil election,
instanced by bis colleague, and was of opi
nion that blank ballots could not be coun t
ed* He hoped that the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. ; Vairnum) would be
conducted to the chair.
Mr. Randolph octid; this was no ordina
ry question which the House were about
to determine, at the instnrice of his friend
(Mr. Mucon) in his opinion, in a. very ir
regular manner { and, Mr. R. said,tlrat he
was certain, if his friend were not himself
implicated fa the question, lie wpuld have
been one of the last mfeinr in .the House to
give such a decision against himself; but
perhaps this was a peculiarity in his fripn.d’s
character. Are we, gentlcraerf, said Mr.
R. to have a Speaker of the House of Re
presentatives without any election? Ttys
committee have not reported that one of
tire persons .voted for had a majority of
the whole ptfmbor of,votes given; on the
contrary, they faavo expressly reported
that.no one-had a Majority.' And will the
House consent, in this .mariner, to choose
a Speaker to preside over this body, and
perhaps eventually over the . destinies of
this nation; for, perchance 1 ’-the Speaker
might become President ’esf the United
States t With respect, to the precedent,
in the case of the election of President of
tlie United States, there was not, he Said,
tlio smallest analogy between the two Oa
ses. What was tlmt case? It was on.it
question, whether or not there couljfafxist
in this country a government, that this de
vice had been used, after some forty or fif
ty bqlfatings. In order to give n President
to the United States, certain gentlemen
had thought proper not to vote at all. Blit,

(Mr. Macon,) to say, whether he would

he would not consent to it. He conceived
that there was no question before the

tion in 1891, lind any bearing oil |he pre

The Clerk having put the question, It
was curried, 67 to 43.
Mr Macon said lie certainly fe.H n sense
of gratitude towards these who had voted
for him, but he should be obliged to them
to vote for some other person, lie had
rather remain on the floor of the House

his declining tho situution might be unex

hnp^ none was more so, after that of Pre

POUT OF SAVANNAH.
, BARBARITY EXPOSED.
PROAt TI|F. FEDERAL OAZF.TTE OF NOV. 22.
Imprisonment for Debt.-—As tips rem-
tmnt of barbarism and the dnvk ages is
still perinitfod to remain a dark spot on
the glory of tho free institutions of our
country—it may bo well, occnsionly, to
devote a short paraprnph to tho notice of
the practical result of this absurd princi
ple*
Among the number of persons now
confined in the jail of this city, for ‘ debt,
there are six, the whole amount of whoso
debts added together; with;the cost, is on
ly $15 38—say an average of 82 50; a-,
gainst crich person. Arid three' of those
are females, against whom the whole tx-
mouut of debt and costs, is $6 65—Or $2
20 for each feqidle.
Some of these persons have families
depending on them for support, and,Whilst
the parentis in inured within the waii-of
oi prison, wristing his precious tjmc, the
children are crying for bread and shiver
ing witlicold.
It would be, well if those persons who
cause the poor man rind the helpless fe
male to be cast into -prison, could be in
duced fh visit the jail—then, il tlicir hearts
were not as hard as.the walls’of the pris-
on;.tfiey Would spriedily. restore thp. ctfp-
tivris to liberty. i ,
Let fraud in every shape be punished—
but it Is not in accordance' with tlic prin
ciples of cither hum'rinity or justiric to as
sociate the idea of crime with misfortune,
or to place honest poverty on a le vel with
thieves'rind robbers.
