I. i- tot tlxo Famous Ikiriic Case. TwoMen Ucmgedjor One MdiVi Crihte Even a tnother Deceived by a Fellow Pretending to be her Long-Ixxt Son. Frfcra tha Cincinnati Commercial, Aug. 5. People who Imagined that they had heard the last of the famous Tichborne case, in which a vulgar butcher laid claim to one of tho largest estates and noblest titles of England, have been undeceived. The claimant, so far from being crushed out by the evidence at the protracted trial, the result of which was to bind tho so-called Roger Tich borne over to stand his trial for per jury bas now taken to a new role. . lie has been for months engaged in the do nation business on a large scale, and the Tichborne claimant's fund has been steadily swelling from the prouse con tributions of the credulous, running all tho way up from sixpence each to fifty pounds sterling. This prodigal be stowal of funds is to -aid the claimant In defending the suit against him for perjury, and in proving his title to tho Tichborne estates. TUEWBOXG MAX 1IAXOKD. Asido from the romantic elements in this case and the always ready popular sympathy for one in humble life who claims to have len keptoutof his own and is suing for it, the notable point is that it furnishes one of the most re markable cases of disputed personal identity on record. Such cases always possess an interest for the public. The annals of crime furnish many instances in which the identity of persons ar rested and charged with offence has been proved by apparently conclusive testimony, yet the iersons so proved guilty have afterward been, found wholly innocent, unci tho witnesses all mistaken in the man. In 1700 a gen tleman named Iesurques was . tried, convicted, and hanged at lhris for highway robbery, no less than four witnesses testifying to his identity.' Other witnesses were brought forward to prove an alibi; but one of those hav ing been detected in a lWsity, the jury refused to believe all. and prisoner In guilty. . The went to the scaffold protesting nocence. Four years afterward the real criminal, one Duboscq, was arretted, and found to possess a marvellous per sonal likeness to Lesurques. Kvidenee of a conclusive character was produced against him and he was hanged, an ac complice testifying to his guilt and to the entire innocence of Lesurques. A YOUNG MAN'S ESCAPE. In 1845 a singular case of mistaken identity occurred in a trial at Lowell, Massachusetts. Some wretch had as saulted little girls picking berries in the fields near that city, and; a young man was arrested two weeks after, a Mr. Houghton and his wife, who had ran to the rescue of the girls on hearing their screams, swore positively that tho prisoner was the same man who had run away In the bushes at the time of thearsault. The two girls were taken separately into a room, and each of them pointed out the prisoner , as tho them. Other witnesses, to the number often in ail. swore to his identity with a man whom they had seen on the day before the crime near tho spot. On the other hand, Uie prisoner, brought six unimpeachable' witnesses who'testlried positively that they were' with him in a remote town in New Hampshire at the very time the assault on tho girl- was committed. This proved alibi, to gether with tho good character of the young man charged, secured his ac quittal the counsel for the Government admitting the alibi to have been clear ly made out. liut the remarkable re semblance of the prisoner to the villain who had committed the crime, and the fact that the witnesses for the Govern ment who Identified him were all mis taken, caused the Judge who tried the case to remark that it was almost suf ficient to shakeall confidence in human testimony. ASTONISHING FALSE PRETENCE. A case more nearly resembling the Tichborne claimant, being that of a lost son returning to his parents' house, and recognized and believed in as their true son, while all the time an impos tor, occurred at Bangor, Maine, in 1849.. The claimant in this case was a young man 24 years of age, named Luther ITau.se. a wild fellow, son of Luther llausc of Troy, Maine, who had work ed at Bangor for two or three years as a common laborer. He imposed upon the family of James I la use (to whom neither he nor his father was related) by claiming to be their long lost son. and obtained from them money ana clothing to a considerable amount, for which suit was finally brought against him.- On the trial, "James Hau.se,, TJlsq., of Corinna, Me., who was au intelligent man, a Justice of the 'PT.ec, and res- lected by all who knew him a' man. of property - and strongly attach oil to Iih children testified that he ; had a son by the name of James Rowland Iiause, who left home about three years since in company with a neighbor of his, gone to New Bedford, and there shipped on a whaling "Voyaee in a ves sel Dy the name of Copia. The first he' (Esquire Iiause) ever heard of the de fendant was through neighbors of his, who told him a few months before that they had seen his missing son Ilowland in Bangor, and had asked him if his name was not James Rowland Iiause. Ho replied no, he was Luther IIau.se. They insisted, however, that he must bo ilowland, and urged him to return to his father's with them. This he re fused to do. A day or two later, Mr. Roberts, a neighbor of Mr. Hause, went to Bangor, and was charged by Mr; Hause if he saw his son Rowland, to bring him home. Mr. Roberts found, thevoune man Luther, brought him to his own house, and sent for Mrjand: Mrs. Hause.., On .their, arrival Luther addressed the former as -father," and then turned to Mrs-'Hause;" three his firms about her neck and. kissed her. Mrs. Hi did not at first x-fieve tlmt.itj was ner sun. . xojs t s am f i.u i r were different in colori and " his complexion differed still, more' widely. In speak ing to Luther she said : "Is il possible that this is my long-lost sou Rowland V He answered, Yes, mother, it is me." She then said to him "If you are my son you have got a scar on your knee. '.' He pulled up his pants and .showed a scar on his knee. She then said : "My. son had a scar on his breast, that was burnt in Mr. Andrew's shop.,r Ho pulled away his shirt bosom and show ed a scar on his breast. 8he then said, Mv son Rowland had a scar on his neck, under his ear." He held up his Parallels nock and showed a Bear in that place I Us neck. She .then said, "One of '- ' - thy" fcoii'a ttk iiipptid aVeHho' other.41 He said, "Oris bfilllno is So." (The young man then went to the house of Mr. Hause, and Mrs. Hause asked iiim to show her the room where he used to sleep. He went up stairs to the jroom where her son slept, and after some hesitation threw himself ujon a bed standing iii the room and said, J'Thls Is my old bed.'! Mr. Hause and his wife were" then fully satisfied that he was their son, and provided hiinf with clothes, Ac He remained ati their house some five months, and the longer he stayed the more they were satisfied he was their son. j j A daughter of Mr. James Hani tes tified that she kept school at Brewer, (opposite Bangor), and that she did not at first know the defendant when ho called to see her. Doubting his identi ty, she said to him: If you are my brother, you have a sear on thi head, where I hurt you when you were a little boy.". She then felt of bU haad and found a scar, and became satisfied that he was her lost brother. She so testified before the Court. Several of t he neighbors of MrHause took; this young man to be ltowland Hause. Young , men who hal been shool-mates with ltowland, talked with Luther about past-times, and became convinced mat ne was itowiana iiause. On the other side, there were Several doubtful circumstances connected with the young. man,. which led thej father and mother to feel continual uncertain ty about their putative son. And one day there caine over to Coninna a Mr. IX) w, who positively recognized the youth as Luther Hause, who belonged m -Troy. Mr. Thomas Gardiner also tolcj ; Hause that he recognized , the young man as Luther. Hause, lhaviug lived near his father's seventeen years, and beeli very lam i liar with hiip. Mr. James Hause now became so stirred up that he determined to settle tlio ques tion of ideuty publicly, and took out a warrant agaiust : Luther for obtaining goods on false pretenses. He was ar rested, and Mr. Seth Hause of 'Iroy be ing summoned, appeared at the trial, and there recognized the prbfmer as his son. . That was the end of the airfo. liut the trial created unexampled iiiteret J over 400 persons were present, and ap parently the majority of them were in favor of Luther, behoving him to be the long-lost boy Rowland. iBut the rant. The sovereign mob, onf the au of the court, husiled the journment prisoner out of the. way. and although k JA A A. L . t ne was aiterwaru meo. aim iounti guil ty of procuring money on falscj preten se?, it was shown that Ksquire Hause a:id his wife, who had so credulously, believed in his identity with their lost stjn (afterward found in California), were much to blame for sufferirfg them- solves to bo so easily duped.

The threats he used prevented fifteen from going to the poll:-' Krora Milton Town-ship it was reported that John Lea also intimidated his work men, canning a loss of ten Republican votes. About noon .-Sheriff Griffith arrested John Mitchell, colored, on the ground that he was n resident of Virginia. Evidence was produced that tie was a legal voter in Milton, but thb Sheriff fled him with a rope in froit of the hotel and swore ait' him, and sp fright ened the negroes in the strcjets that most of them went home without vot ing. Soon after the same oflicial ar rested another negro on the affidavit of Yarborough, his former owneH that he was under . twenty-one ycnrs of age. .His mother, .who-jWas in Yauceyville ' yesterday says. .that he is. in l)ia twen tyrfouvtlryear. Both these, in on, were lodgi-d in jail, but the former has been since liberated on giving $100 Mil. At Yancey ville, Wiliianr Leith, col bred, reported that the' white judges of election insisted on the colored voters putting their ballots in the boxes them-1 selves,, instead of giving them to the inspectors to deposit ; and when he was directing thern how, to do ,il,r.Jimes -Williamson; threatened, to .put, him in the Penitentiar.

In the Senate district comprising the Coun tries of Wilkes, Iredell and Alexander, where thtf Republicans have , gained 1.C00 votes since the previous State election the excitement is still at fever heat,- and acts of violence are quite frequent. M The residents are chiefly whites, and a thorough canvass of the district was made by Jas. H. Footeand Tho. N. Eloper, the Republican Sena torial candidates. On Sunday last, while Mr. Cooper was in Church at Holly Springs, t Iredell county, a mob of Groeleyitcs i from Olin, .armed with clubs and pistols, assembled at the place for the avowed purpose of killing hiiiH . He was escorted from Church by his friends, and conveyed in safety to his residence, two miles off. : Two days before that E. B. Drake, of can, whoWently pronounced fQr Graut, was attacked near hi3 office by a crowd of ruffians, headed by John Houston, and brutally beaten in tho street. ' At Beaver Creek Township, in vv lines county a shocking affair occurred at er Creek Township, in VVilke the closeof the campaign. D. M.' Fur ches, Keublican, and "XX", Bobbins, a Democrat, had made engagements to speak thire the latter in the evening. By 9 o'clock most of the Greeley ites of the township were in front of McNeill's store, armed with revolvers and knifes. Among them was a man named Vanoy, who began to quarrel with Jonathan Stout, a Republican. Vanoy, madden ed by the cool and passive behavior of Stout, loudly awore that he would either kill him or eat his breakfast in hell. He attacked Stout with: a pole, striking ;iira with it several times, and Stout retreated, facing his assailant as ho did sb. Vanoy then threw down the polef and, knife in hand, sprang at Stoat, who, quick as a flash, drew his own knife, and as the two met, thrust it Into Vanoy's breast. "The d d ras cal has filled mo," Vanoy gaspedout. and instantly expired. The blade had pierced his heart. Stout has disappear ed, but (t is believed that he will give himself jup. There was nopublic speak ing in Beaver Creek after that. At TaVlor's Spring, Iredell county, James I,L Foote was assailed by John Osborne, a Greeleyite, from Olin Town ship, as'he was I resting under a tree. Osbornd stealthily approached Major Foote and kicked him savagely on the head. The Olin! gang drew their pis tols, but Foote's friends rallied and drove thejh off. r - In Wilkes county, at Antioch Town ship, ait unprovoked assault, was com mitted upon John Johnson, an inoffen sive colored man, by Wesley Souther, because'he voted the Republican ticket. FThis is the first time that Iredell coun ty has been canvassed by the Repubh- " C cans since the close of the war.

We are not aware of anyjairmed companies out of the city, but ve are aware that there was a cfompany formed in the interest of Manning in Harnett township and that most of them voted the Democrat ic ticket. Perhaps this is the one our opponents wish to throw. out. We are Informed also that in some places, "the votes cast exceed: the number of voting population, as shown by the last cen sus." (This was the case we believe in Onslow! county, which gave a Demo cratic majority which astounded even its political sympathisers. Indeed it is claimed, that but one white man in. that county voted the Republican ticketi Ibut even this does not cover tho 1 discrepancy, it will be remembered that otfr speakers were threatened with violence when tliey went there , to ad dress the people. And so in other counties. Intimidation has been re sorted Jo, and all the arts of political warfar were brought to bear upon our friend.- The last act of the campaign isnowfthreatecl, but it will prove un successful, for the legislature wiH not dare to; manipulate the returns, as they honestly show a Republican victory.
