Shelby, who was recently tried at Lexing-

days ago discliarged on hail, the jury in
the case,being unable to agree on a verdict.
This it appears, created a tremendous ex-
citement in the public mind.
Handbills denouncing the Judge, Mr.
Clay, the volunteer counsel of the prison-
er, and the eight jurors who were tinder-
stood to have been for the acquittal of
Shelby, were freely circulated, and at (lay

by the neck immediately in front of the
court house door. Tlie jailor attempted
to remove them, but was prevented.
At 10 o'clock a crowd of from 3,000 to

assénililed in the court yard, and an

series of resolutions were passed unaiii-

condemn the judge, and asking his uncon-

taking down and burning of the efligics.
The figures were carried through the
streets to the tune of the ‘Rogue’s illarch,’
and at length were piled tip and burnt.

BIONDAY, July 20.
In the SENATE, a contest took place be-

of the harbor bill.

The President will be placed in a quan-

be inconsistent with all his former political

friends.
At 1 o’clock the Senate resumed the con-
sideration of the tai‘iff'oill, and Mr. Niles
of Conn. spoke very ably against the mens-
ui'c.
He said the bill had assumed very much
a party shape; and as a friend of the Ad-
ministration he profoundly regretted that
it was considered as an Administration
measure. To cite a phrase used on anoth-
er occasion, lie would support the interests
of this Administration against its opinion.
Tl e Administration and the party would
have occasion deeply to regret it.
This ineasurc was determined upon in a
state ofthings not now existii'ig—‘\\'liile we
were at peace. The object of the law was,
as expressed on its face, to reduce duties,
to reduce burdens on the people. He re-
garded this as a wrong time to agitate this
question 'lhe condition of the country
and of the treasury did not admit of such
a measure at this time.
The bill had been brought forward in a
novel manner; and if it p:issed—andp7‘0b-

The bill was got up by the lfxecntive,
under the direction of a Congress of Cus-
tom Hou.-:e ollicers. If there was anything
that ‘the representatives of the people
should attend to them.-.:elves. it wasthe for-
mation of a revenue bill. Taxation affec-
ted all intercsts and classes of the coni-
munity, and involved details, and required
the attention of l’t‘}')i‘(‘SClll£ll.l‘-'(.’3 from all
interents. lint this bill was made by one
interest; and liencc we found it full of
strange cruditiesand inconsistencies
The bill was founded on arbitrary theo-
ries, to which facts were mfle to conform,
contrary to any correct principles of phil-,
osophy. Taxes were to be imposed on‘,
the l0\\'C.\t rates of duty that would givcl
the greetest rate of revenue. That was:
one ‘category of the bill. It was nrisonnill
in theory and practice, and abolished the‘
doctrine of incidental protection, a princi-
ple that he would not be clieated outof by
any liocus pocus. He held all these doc-i
grcatly displease all his \Vestci'ii locofoco,
war into Africa. He spoke his hour against
reducing the price of printing and in
defence of his own political course, finally
refusing to carry the war into Africa as
it would be too small an invasion.
Mr. Henley of Ind. next spoke, and
advocated the reduction of the price of
printing.
Mr. Douglass of Ill. next spoke, and
justified the course of his party on the
subject. ‘ He condemned the VVhigs.
The bill, without amendments, was then
reported to the House, and was p_.'lSS"Cl-—

The SENATE were engaged agood while
to (lay on the river and harbor bill, which
they passed withoutamendment by a vote
of 31- to 16. It now remains with the
President.
’l'lie President sent word, to day, to the
Senate, that he had signed the joint reso-
lution on printing. Mziriy supposed that
he would veto it. It takes some thirty or
forty thousand dollars from the pockets of
Ritchie and Heiss which they supposed
their own.
M r. Simmons finished his speech on the
tariffto day. It was :1 very able effort.
Next to Mr. Evans, i\'lr. Simmons is emi-
nently acquainted with the tariff subject.
He said no working man ever wou'd have
produced such a bill. He said that the
man who prepared that bill had never
earned :1 dollar hy productive labor. lt
was an attempt to break down ilie industry
-of the country at the coininaud of party.
He said he had brought himself up un-
der this protective system. He had never
inherited a dollar from friend or ancestor.
He had been among the laboring men for
thirty years. It was _tlie system to elevate
‘the people of this country. He felt this
and he would stand up and defend it to
the last, plain and unli-ttered as he was.
It was a systcni which the free labor oftlie
country would stand by.
The senator who will disregard organs
and party, and rise to the dignity ofa sen-
ator, will receive the tlianks of the labor-
ing man. Let contented labor sit down

‘were swimming. Presently, he _observcd

sudden jerk. While he looked for Lei‘ to
lrise again, he sawla fox emerge from the
jwater, and trot offto the woods with the
‘unfortunate goose in his mouth. He clian--
'ced to go in a direction where it was easy
‘for a man to watch his movements. He
;carried his burden to a recess under an
ioverhanging rock. Here he scratched
away a mass of dry leaves, scooped a
hole, hid his treasure within, and covered

ilehind the flock ofgeese, and floated noise-
lcssly along, with merely the top of his
nose visible above the surface. But tli's
‘time he was not so fortunate in his maneu-l
vres. The geese, by some accident, tool.-
itlie alarm and flew away with loud cuck-
ling. The fox, finding himself defeated,
gwalked offin a direction opposite to the
