But we commenced this article (if il is an article,) intending to say alter the first period, that the Editor hsd cabbaged our duster to hide his old clothes, as we supposed, and boarded the train of day before yesterday for the pvess sssociation and Thouiasville fair, and left ye local to furnish the readers of ths Jousvul with what newspaper men call a “Leader,” if readers they have. We did not intend ♦o write about the things we bav”, tearing that you knew we know s< prtle about them, but we' couldn’t round up as was intended ut the outset. Itealiz ng the responsibility thus so unjustly shuffl and off upon us by our Editor, at a late hour at night, in council with our subs, it was decided that, in as u.uch as we had not beet heard from only in the local depart ment of *our Journal, it would B"t be eensideret! presumptous lor us to turn loose upou a leader-, aad in do ing so, it was understood that we should not beernfined to any particu lar subject, so the liber’y of writring a sort of promiscuous article was reserved.

On Monday, the l#lh day of April, Mrs* Csrawsy, the wife of a well-io do (artner, liv ing about three miles from Nmithville, Smn ter county, wis murdered in her house du ring the absence of her husband. It aiipears that Mr. Caraway lefi the house early on Monday moruing to look after some woik on a distant part of his farm, leaving no one at home but his wife. About eight o’clock that morning she wn» seen standing in til yard by a neighbor. At a little after ten o'clock her mmiater celled to pay a pastoral visit snd found the house appearanlly empty. Paus ing for a while to rest himself, he heard a low and pitiful moaning in sojourning room. Hastening to see what it meant be was •hocked to fiud Mra. Caraway lying near the hearthstone in a dying and unconscious con dition. Her head was literally beaten out of shape. The skull was crushked in several plaees and fragments ot it had been diiven into the poor woman’s brain. It was plain that sho must have been assailed with a Urge bludgeon. Dark pods ot blood had settled in various places on the floor, and her h»ir was stiff with clo'ted gore. Her condition was close upon death. She cenld net see, or speak or, move, and only c eaned uneasily at intervals. jrsTics arocskd. Tho minister at once rushed out and gave the alarm. Mr. Caraway was summoned and a large crowd was soon gathered at the house. Mr. Carrawuy’s grief upon seeiug the mutilated body of his wife, who had beet, his faithful and affectionate ptrtner for thir ty years, is described a« having been fearful The neighbors were, of course, in a state of cousternation over the terrible ar.d wanton crime, and began at ence to cast about for some clew that might lead to its perpetrator. Mr Caraway and his wife were such notaolv mild and inoff'nisve people that it was hard to believe they had an enemy in the world. It was suspected' that the murder wm perpe trated by a robber. A search of the house disclosed the tact that several trunks had been broken open and one little tin trunk, usually secreted aud the repository of valua ble papers, bid been carried- *ff. In the back yard, where the clay was soft, teveral enormous footprints were discovered. It transpired that, when the misiv.ev was near ing tbe house, he had seen a large negro standing in the road, a short distance above the place, whose actions struck him as being suspicious. Theae were the only clews offered. iCSrtCtos. Finally, someone suggested that the only man in tbe county whose feet were large enough to fill the foot-prin'e in the back yard was Charles Tom.ney, a negro ol an ex traordinarily large frame, Wpon his heiug described the minister averred that the de scription tallied precisely with tbe negro be had met a short distance from the house, after the killing occurred. It wag fu’thar ascertained that this negro had some years previously been a workman upon Mr Cara way‘s place and that he and Mr. Caraway had had a disagreement concerning a trade of some cattre, and that the negro left the service of Mr. Caraway feeling that ha had been badly used. Mr. Caraway further sta ted that this negro knew of the existence and usual couleuts ot the little tin trunk that was missing —a knowledge that was not at all general. Tenuity cirrcaiyn. Upon the above suggestions and informa tion a justice of the peace summoned a posse and sallied out to hunt Tommev. He was found at hie house, about six miles dis tant from the scene of the murder. As the Justise and posse approaches? Tommey ap peared at the window and was evidently very much frightened. He left the window apeadily, and dashing towurd the rear of the house attempted to escape. Seeing, however ■hat be was surrounded he surrendered him «e!f. When he was first questioned he said nothing. His house was searched, and the tin trunk that was missing Irom Caraway’s house was found under i:is bed. It contained $10.45 in silver (the amount stolen) bat the valuable papers were missing. Upon the discovery of the trunk the negro made a fall and voluntary confession, giving all th» details of his performance of the crime. At the conclusion of Ins confe-sioo which be and livered in the most nonchalant and self coPeo'ed manner, he proposed to take hie captora to the place in the woods where he had hidden the valuable nepers. He was encouraged to do this, and the papers were all recovered. TOHJET'S coxrsssio*. Yesterday the prisoner made the follow ing statement of hie case to his jailor. "I killed Mrs. Caraway almost without in tending to do it. I did not kill her f.om my first intention. You see some years ago, Mr Caraway, according to my idea then, cheat ed me in a trade for a y ar'ing. I had ner er liked him sine*, and when I passed his house that morning and saw no one there but his wile, I thought it was a good chance to get even with him, ao I entered the house with no other purpose than to take enough things to make me even. I wiited until Mrs. Caraway had gone into the house, and then I entered the yard. The dog sprang upon uie, and although 1 fought him off he made such a noise that he ('.traced Mrs. Caraway I saw at once that I should have to get her eyes closed for awhile. So I just entered and talked to her awhile. When she turned her back I struck her sharply ou the back of the head. She fell ou the fireplace, groaning ter, ibljr. I hurried from ihe room ami aeiaad the tin trunk where t knew the money was kept. I was disappointed at find ing ouly a handful of aitver in ii, and ih eu looked aruuod the house for sonje'h'ng else j to take. a pgct’i.t tu ki.vo of el.mpathr. “As I pne-eii tlitotigh fbo rnom where Mrs. Caraway wes lyiug l s, * that she had crawled across the floor and wa« erftl drying." “Oh, 1.„ r ,» j Ln-*l!” IMt v-ry g*-»y lor hot * she had always been kind to trie, and 1 thought the heat thing I ci.uld dir would he to put her on. of her misery. B*> 1 struck her three >-r f. ur more links over the head, until she stopped groaning. Then I thought she was dead, and I huriied awny. I had no idea uny one would suspect mo.

I expected to be j hung the first night I was captured and 2 shouldn’t have cured ii I had ' hsen.” AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MURDERER. Your ent visited the jail early this morning, and was admitted through the couitesy of Mr. Wheeler, the Slim ill, before the preparations for the death had commenced. The prisoner, crouched in the furth est corner of his cell, was not a bed looking man. He was sis feet and a hall high anil of hroad proportions. He hud a nigh 'orshead and intelli gent eyes. His face wascovered with a t in struggling heard. 0.. enteiing into conversation with the doomed man, jour correspondent found him apparently unconcerned about the future Altar begging a chow of tobacco ho stated that he had nothing to say for the public; he had accounted to God for w -at ho had done, anil bo cared not what man til ugiit of him. On being pressed, ho said, “I will tell you one thing that I have acknowledged to no one ex cept my jailor. VI hile Mrs. Caraway was uticoncinuß aud in a dying condi tion l committed’ an outrage on her poison. I kept this a secret fur fearof being lynched.” READY TOR DEATH. While with the prisoner he sold his body to tbe physicians for S3. Ou leaving the jail he faced a crowd of ‘2,000 people without fear or trem bling, and as he lode on his coffin to the gallows, quietly chewed your re porter’s tobacco, and calmly gazed at the surging crowd. When we readi ed the gibbet we lound a least 5,000 people, many of whom were white h dies, assembles to witness the ven geance of the law. He left the wagon and ascended tbe scaffold with a firm tiead, without any sign of fear. TDK murderer’s KATfH IN.A HAPPY KTEH NITT. After the religious services the Sher ifl »ske*l him it he had anything t*>- sny to the naul itude. He replied. ‘‘Nothing.” On beiug pressed he said; “I haTe but little to say to this large crowd. This scene ought to speak for me. I tell you I am with Jesus (Great applause ) I am not hire to tell of thirgs that happened 3 years utf.i. I will soon be whAre I shall be at rest fi>r ever.

I have nothing more to say.” BTRANOYKD BY LEOAL PROCESS. Turning to the Sheriff, he said, “I a® ready,,” and without a quiver in any muscle he stepped upon the fatal trnp and lialJ his hands for the cords to be tied by the Bheiiff, As the cup was b. ing adjusted lie spit cut, his tobacco and said, “Lord, may the Limb pruy.” At this moment the trnp fell, and fulling seven feet hi boily hung dangling at tbe end of the hangman’s rope. His writhing-* showed that his neck was not broken,, and Kftsr sixteen minutes he was pronouuced dead from strangulatioi . INDECENT HABTS. The husband of Mrs. Caraway Ibis morning bought a license for a second marriage and then proceeded »o wit ness the execution. Much excrement and indignation was expressed at this unseemly haste. • JV. Y. Herald. Ciot It Down flight.
