Tne Louisville "Courier-Journal" of Tuesday contained a special dis patch from Washington, double leaded; with editorial, bitterly ah tacking Mr. Samuel J.

It is charged that the dispatch was actually Written in the editorial rooms of the' "Courier-Journal," and is Mr. Watterson's personal view of Mr. Randall's southern visit. This dis patch says : "The proposed visit of Sam Randall to Kentucky, Tennes see and Alabama is well understood tire to be a declaration of war by the protectionists upon fc revenue reformers of the States in question. Joe Brown, of Georgia, is the South ern mauager of this scheme. .Mr. Randall's hope is to secure some thing like'a demonstration at Lou isville which protection newsja pers cau claim as a rebuke ofBeck, Blackburn, Carlisle and Willis, and another at Nashville to rebuke Isbam G, Harris, and then a great ; uprising of irou workers at Birue inghaut to tell the world that there is a revolution of opinion on the tariff la the South and a consuming fire for. the Pennsylvania idea. Mr. Randall is expected to start out with the black flag in both hands. His friends say he has nothiug : to lose, land may make somethlug by his expedition, which they hope to make a sensation'.

The ioliee ascertained that one of them.

The crime remained! a uivstery until Monday. The othA er luau arrested with, Smith was' Henry Davis. . Both men were taken to Clayton for trial. Smith swore that Davis was an accom plice in the crime, and this was the ouly evidence against Davis. The men- were ordered by the court I to be taken to Smithfield jail on Wed uesday morning. They were kept at Clayton Tuesday night, ! in chartre of two guards, just before daylight a party of masked riien sprung out of the darkness and leveling revolvers at the heads, of the guards demanded the prisoners and took them in charge. , It has uow become known that the masked men. placed the prisoners on .a horse and rode striaght to Neuse River.' three miles distant; and there, eceordjng to the testimony of air eye winess, at the county brill ge, they wrapped their prison ers with trace chain, leaving the naudcuffs.upon them, and threw them into the river, j The bodies have mot yet .been recovered. --"Star." ' Wilmington, Fuller & Snow and which has been ton trial in the Uni ted States Circpit Court for eight days', was determined yesterday by a verdict and judgment iu favor of the plaintiffs f(r 5,34G, with inter est from September 1, 1880. : The legality pf dealings in cotton futures was involved. Thedefend- arit relied oipou the defence of gambling- The plaintiffs' showed that Covington, a resident" of Wil mington, N. Cl, employed them to buy 500 bales of ejotton, deliverable in May and January, .1880 ; that they executed his orders in the New York Cotton Exchauge, in ac cordance with the rules land by laws of tbe Exchange;, that when the several contracts matured they received notices of delivery in .-every, case from the parties from whom they bought ;, that Mr. Cov ington . having no funds'; in their hands, it .was necess'ary for them immediately to sel ujon' the ex change the same number of bales and trausfer the notice of delivery to tbe purchaser, in order to avoid the actual receipt of and payment for tbe cottou by them ; that at the euH of the dealings they rendered an account to Covington showimg a balance due them September 1, 1880V of $;,34G (the anionnt for which judgment ", was recovered)! that Covington,, kept' this account without, objection for pearly 'three mouths. ' '. R The . defendaut showed, tliat It was the cPmmon pra:tice irt 'Wil mington for geutlemen dealing in the' New Yrk Cottpn Exchange in cotton futures to receive ho Cotlon upon these contracts, but that they sometimes delivered actmtl cotton upou theni: ; that Covingtba was never called upon either u receive or deliver any cotton by, Bennett & Co,, .arid that he, did nt do so. The defendant, faiftiT to show that-tliere was 'any agreTpment'.or understanding between Bennett & Co.1 and the members of the Cotton .Exchange- with wliotfi they dealt on Covrngton's' account that there should be no'. actual delivery of cot-' ton in any one of the Vases. ,- 1 Judge Seymour charged the jury that the-aeconut'rendered liecamp an account stated, by reason of Covington's. ietainihg' it without objection; that the'eontracts for the future.- delivery , of Cotton upon "which the losses were inenrred were legatnpon their face; that the sale of goods to be delivered at a future day is valid, although the seller has not the goods or any other means of getting them than to so into the inafket and buy them; but that if under the appear ance of such a contract the- real in tent be merely to speculate! in the rise or fall of prices; andjthe goods are not to be delivered, but that one party is to 1 pay 'to the other the difference ' between the con tract price and the market price of the goods at the date fixed for exe cuting the contract, then the whole constitutes nothing more: than a wager, and is viull ami void; that before the jury- can tind-i-that tiese transactions w-cie illegau they must find from the evidence that both parties, the feller anA the buyer, at the time 'of making the contract did 'so with the intent not to deliver or receive actual cotton but as a bet on the rise and fall of the market; that they ' must find, from the evidence, and not , from conjecture, that Covington so in. tended and that the other parties to the contract so intendek. !Ehe purpose or one party ai.so is not sufficient to render the contract il legal. That in this case, after care ful reflection, the court can find bo evidence of . the intent pr the pur pose of the parties who contracted with Covington through his'agent, 'That the "burden, of the ,r proof is upon the defendant to show that tire contract was a gambling oue, arid the court feels cons'traiued to eharge that-upon this point the burden has not beep met.
