Scene at Chatham during the session of the
Circuit Court, in the case of Commonwealth
v». Cnssady, on a charge of malicious stabbing,
Tho venire being impanelled, and the jury
solemnly charged by the clerk, tbo Common
wealth’s Attorney called, in support of the
Indictment, the witness, .Buck Bryant, who
being solemly sworn tho truth to tell testified
ns follows:
Question by Commonwealth’s Attorney—
Tell all you know about the cutting of the
prosecutor, by Cassady the prisoner at the bar.
Aus.—Well, gentlemen, it was election day
—’twos ft dark, cloudy, wet sort of drizzly
day, and says I to my old woman, I believ
I’ll go down to Itingold and ’posit my vote
An.i says my old woman to me, well. Buck,
us it is a sort of a drizzly day, says she, had’nt
you better take you umbrill. Says I to the old
woman, I spcct I bad better take the umbrill.
So I took the umbrill and advanced down
towards Itingold, and when I got tliar Mr.
Cole corned, says he, uncle Buck, have you
seed anything of old neighbor Harris ? Says I
to Mr. Cole, for why ? Says bo he’s got my
umbrill. (Tho witness was here interrupted
by tho Court and told to confine himself to the
actual fray between tho prisoner and Cole,
the prosecutor. In answer to which the wit
ness remarked, in a toue of indignant remon
strance, Mr. Judge you hold on. for I am
sworn to tell the truth, aud I’m a gwine to tell
it ray own way—so ’taint for-wliilc for yon to
say nothing more about it—whereupon the
the court and commonwealth’s attorney, being
anxious to get rid of the witness on any terms,
told him to go on and tell the talc in his own
way.) Well, as I was going to say, ’twas on
lection day. Buchanan and Filmo was a run
ning for the legislature, and says I to my old
woiiiau, says I, 1 b’leve I’ll go down to Bin-
gold and posit my vote. Says my old woman
to me, says she. Buck, as it is a sort of a dark,
cloudy, damp, drizzly sort of day, hand’nt you
better take your umbrill, says she ? Says I to
tho old woman, says I, I spcct I had better
take my umbrill; so I tuck tho umbrill and
advanced on towards Bingold, till I arriv thar.
I Veil tho first thing I did when I got thar was
to take a drink of Buchanan whiskey, which
ms monstrous good, and says I to myself,
says I old hoss, you feel better now, don’t you ?
And while I was advancing around, Mr. Cole
he come to me; says he. have you seen any
thing of old neighbor Harris ? Says I, for
why ? Says lie, the old cock’s got my um
brill. Arter a while 1 ’posited my vote, and
then Mr. Cole and me advanced back towards
borne, and Mr. Cole was tighter than I crer
seed him. And so we advanced along till we
got to wliar the road and path forked, and Mr.
Cole and me tack the path, os any other gen
tleman would, and arter advancing a while,
we arriv to old neighbor Harris settin’ on a
log with the umbnll on bis arm, and ’bout
that time Elijah’s Cassady (the prisoner) corned
up and advanced on till we arriv at Elijah’s
Louse. Elijah is my nefifew and likewise my
sou-in-law—he married my darter Jane which
is next to my darter Sally. Arter we had ad
vanced to Elijah’s house wc stood in the yard
an bile a jawing and presently two somebody’s
lid up on a hoss, which was Johnson before,
and Whitfield Cassady behind—Whiteficld
and Kiah Cnssady being the same, Elijah and
Kiah is brothers, both born in the nnt’rnl way
like anybody clso’s brothers, no gals between
’em, and both of ’em is about the same age,
csiieciolly Kiah, which ar the youngest.—
Ki.ih war drunk, and lie and Mr. Cole got to
cussing one another about politix, and I ad
vanced into the house wliar was Elijah's wife,
which is my darter Jane, which is next to my
darter Sally. Well arter jawing a while with
’em, my little neffew says be to me, say Uncle
Buck, let’s go home. Says I, good pop, so
we pegged on together, and I heard somebody
a calling me, but I never tentioned ’em nor
advanced back. Well, I got home and was a
eating my supper, and Elijah, which is my
son-in-law, and married my darter Jane, which
is next to my darter Sally, arrived, and says
he to me, Uncle Buck, says he I’ve killed a
man. Says I, the hell you have. And this is
all I know about the stabbing because I wont
thar.—Richmond 1VI tiff,
Tiiesnnkc Unit swallowed a Ilorsc.
Jn the proviucc of Goynz, Brazil, Dr. Gard
ner came to the fazenda of Sapc, situated at
the foot of the Sierra dc Santa Brida, near the
entrance to a small valley. Dr. G. remark
ed that in this valley and throughout this pro
vince the anaconda attaius an enormous size,
sometimes reaching forty feet in length; the
largest which he saw measured thirty seven
feet, but was not alive. It had been taken un
der tho following circumstances: “Some
weeks before our arrival at Snpe,” writes Dr.
G.. ’’the favorite riding horse of Senhor La-
go lira, which had been put out to pasture not
far from the house, could not be found although
strict search was made for it all over the fa
zenda. Shortly after this one of his vaquircs,
(herdsmen,) in going through the wood by the
side of a small stream, saw an enormous su-
enruju suspended in the fork of a tree which
hung over the water. It was dead, but had
evidently been floated down alive by a recent
Hood, and being in an inert state, it had not
been able to extricate itself from the fork be
fore the waters fell. It was dragged out to
the open country by two horses, and was found
to measure 37 feet m length. On opening it,
tho bones of a horse in a somewhat broken
condition, and the,flesh in a half digested
state, were found within; the bones of the
head were uninjured. From these circum
stances we conclude that the boa had swallow
ed the horse entire. In all kinds of snakes
tho capacity for swallowing is prodigious. I
have often seen one notthieker than my thumb
swallow a frog as large as my fist; and I once
killed a rattlesnake, four feet long, and of no
tfaicknTSH, which had swallowed not less than
tb ree largo frogs. I have also seen a very
■lender snake that frequents the roofs of bouses
swallow mi entire bat three times its own thick
ness. If such be the case with these smaller
kinds, it is not to ho wondered at that one
thiity-seven feet long should be able to swal
low a horse, particularly when it is known that
previous to doing so, it breaks tlio bones of
the animal by coiling itself around it, mid af
terwards lubricates it witii il slimy matter,
which it 1 as the power of secreting in it-
JUouth.”
Democratic City Nominations.
A large adjourned meeting of tlio Democra
cy was held at Concert Hall last Saturday
night to receive the report of the Committeo
of twenty-one. The Committee reported the
following ticket, which was unanimously con
firmed, and it is indeed one well calculated
to inspire confidence in the result. Certainly
no man in the whole city is better qualified for
an efficient and useful chief magistrate than
Mr. Whittle—a gentleman of great ability
as a lawyer, engineer and business man. In
respect to social position, also, it is believed no
man in the community is more highly or wide
ly esteemed or has a stronger hold upon pub
lic confidence. The Democracy feel that they
have done their very best for the city and for
the party in presenting Mr. Whittlo to the
suffrages of their fellow-citizens. It was with
great difficulty they could induce him to run,
and only at tbo urgent, unanimous and per
sonal solicitation of tho Committee. Once in
the field, whether as candidate or Mayor, he
will devote himself with characteristic hearti
ness to the public service.
Tbo Council ticket is also such an one as we
feci ought to inspire public confidence and
commend itself to tho people. Tho party
have but to rally unitedly to carry the whole
triumphantly through. Let us do it.
For Mayor.

The Administration, as grossly as it has

found on the side of the Constitution. It takes
the ground that the requisitions of the Const!

Constitution submitted by Kansas—which is
Republican, and docs, not conflict with the
Constitution of the United States. Upon all
other points, in which a discretion might be
properly exercised by Congress, it is substan

by the free-soil faction to outrage the popular
voice of Kansas, it docs so and can do so, only

All of which is too clearly stated to require
argument. The popular will cannot be inter
preted by conjecture in regard to the opinions
and number of those who stay away from the
polls. Walker himself, in the same document,
claims that the Legislature which called the
Convention was “created” and “still recog
nized by the authority of Congress and clothed
by it with full power to make such an enact
ment.” He adds:
A Quandary,

Gen. ITIirabcau B. Lamar.
This distinguished and gallant Texan, whose
appointment as Charge d’Affairs to the Argen
tine Confederation was noted last fall, has been
transferred with liis own approbation to a spe
cial M ission to Nicaragua and Costa Rica.—
This is just now one of tlie most honorable,
delicate and important trusts which could.be
confided to any man, as it will probably shape
to a great extent, the policy of the Govern
ment in Central America—its attitude in re
spect to Gen. Walker’s claims and movements,
opinions, may afterwards be permitted to en
force them to the sacrifice of the law, and out
of mere terror of a popular emeute and armed
resistance, is asking simply that the Govern
ment shall permit itself to be dragooned by a
mob.
The despatch which brings this frightful in
telligence of a breach between Walker and the
Administration, states, also, that the Northern
Democratic members will, with few exceptions,
sustain the Administration and the Constitu
tion of Kansas. We hope so. Thereis.as we
have seen, no reasonable standing ground for
opposition. Tbe authority of tbe Kansas Ter

supply was very short and the house nearly
consumed before the fire was extinguished.

In the late Charter Election, 84,233 votes
were polled, of which Wood received 40,051,
and was beaten by Ticman 2,331. Of the
other officers elected tbo parties stand fifty-
nine democrats and tliirty-six opposition. The
defeat of the Democracy is therefore due sole
ly to the discredit of Wood’s Administration.

Fernando Wood, Defeated.
The municipal Election in New York last
Tuesday resulted in tho defeat of Fernando
Wood, the regular democratic nominee, by a
majority of 2,300. His opponent was Daniel
Ficman, also a democrat, upon whom all the
isms and ismatics, ns well as thousands of the
prominent democrats of the city coalesced, for
the purpose of bringing about a change in the
city administration. Before the election it
was claimed by the adherents of Wood that his
defeat would permanently endanger tho ns
cendancy of the democrats in the city. It is
probably an untoward result to the party, but
it was still more unfortunate that they identi
fied their fortunes with those of Fernando
Wood.
Macon and Brunswick Rail Road.
The bill in aid of this Road now before the
Legislature, provides for the endorsement of
the Company’s bonds by the State, in sums
not exceeding ten thousand dollars each, bear
ing seven per cent, interest and payable twen
ty years after date. These bonds are to be
issued at the rate of at least seven thousand
dollars per mile, on the first twenty miles of
the Road, upon evidence furnished of a bona
fide subscription to the Capital Stock of at
least §500,000 by citizens and corporations of I j 8 something very different not only from com-
words, and corrupted by an infinity of con
ceits. Tbe Doctor was not far wrong, in our
opinion, though the world in general differs
with him. Webster is, in spite of all his odd!
ties and innovations, the standard authority
in this country, and is destined daily for com
ing years to surprise old scholars and printers
with new discoveries in orthography. He was
a born tinker, and if there is any such thing
allowed as correcting the “angelic tongue,” he
probably undertook the task at once, after
leaving this mundane sphere,
We are reminded of this matter by reading
the subjoined little paragraph from the Dub
lin University Magazine. The writer puts tbe
English aggregate of words at 40,000, of which
only ten thousand are in actual use. The
uses of Webster’s enormous coinage may be
illustrated by a single anecdote. When a bill
was before the New York Senate, some years
ago, to adopt his Dictionary as the standard
in the common schools, a Senator opposed it in
a speech of ten minutes, as incomprehensible
to any body, learned or unlearned, as the Af
rican gullah; but he claimed to have found
every Jword [he used in Webster’s Diction
ary—to have used it in proper connection, and
to have talked sense and good English, ac
cording to Webster, though wc will venture to
say, even Webster himself could not have in
terpreted the speech without referring to his
own Dictionary:

Blind Asylum.
Tho pupils of our State Asylum for the
Blind gave an exhibition nt Millcdgcville, last
Thursday, before the Members of the Legisla
ture. We clip the following note of it from
the correspondence of the Augusta Dispatch:
“Both bouses dispensed with an afternoon session,

State Institute for tlio Blind, in the Representative
Chamber. I regret that I have not space to give a
detailed account of this interesting and touching oc

and ready for the iron—that the President and
Board of Directors of tho Company are citi

responding evidence shown, similar bonds arc
to issue at the same rate for every additional
five miles, until the work is completed. Sec
tion G contains a special provision that in event
it shall be made to appear to the Governor, by
a change in tho price of iron, greatly to tho
interest of the Company and not prejudicial
to that of tho State, to purchase at once a suf
ficiency of iron for the whole road, he bo au
thorized to endorse bonds for tbo same at tho
rate of §7,000 per mile, taking the bill of sale
direct to the State. The remaining provisions
of the act are designed to secure tho State
against loss. Section 3d empowers the Gov

meet payments of cither interest or principal
of these bonds, to levy an execution upon the
whole property, rights and franchises, and sell
them upon ninety days’ notice. Section 5th

about 40,000 words, there is probably no sin

however voluminous, so many as ten thousand

are certainly many more than one-half that are
only employed, if they are ever employed at
all, on the rarest occasions. Wc should any
of us be surprised to find, if we counted them,
with how small a number of words we manage
to express all that we have to say, either
with our lips or even with the pen. Our com

to 10,000 words; our common spoken English
hardly to 5,000.*’
The Kansas Constitution.
The Kansas Frec-Soil correspondents charge
that up to latest date, no copy of the Lecomp
ton Constitution had been permitted to see the
light, and that the Schedule only is before the
people. The Washington correspondent of
the Journal of Commerce, we arc surprised to
see, sanctions this statement thus far;—
‘But, I am inclined to believe .that when
the Constitution comes, it wifi corao in a form
that will forbid any vote for it from the noa

It is stated, had an interview with the Pre

last Thursday, and after a full interchange of
opinions they parted without concurrence. The

of Kansas under the Constitution already
framed. Mr. Dougliis will oppose it, ami will
introduce a bill providing for a new Constitu
tional Convention in Kansas.
