Sharp for the murder of Edward W. Car mack began this morning. Coun uel for the defense have rung the changes to a disgusting degree on the "blue blood" and "aris tocracy" of the Coopers. If the colonel and his son are high-bred Southern gentlemen we'll have to take it from their counsel, for at this distance, judged by what has brought them into greatest prominence, one would take them to be anything else. Anyway, if they have good blood back of them they are the less excusable for acting like cut-throats and thugs, as it seems they did.
