Louis Republican OF the 3DilI ut gives the particulars
Of the drowning OF a free negro, a cook on board the
steamboat Pdwnee, on her passage up from New
Orleans to that city, under The sentence OF that
most unmercllr! Of Judges, Judge Lynch. The
circumstances as detailed are substantially these. On
the Friday ui9ht previous about lOoclock, a deal
and dumb German sitl was found in the stone room
with the cook. The door was locked, and at first he
denied she was there. The girls father came, he
unlocked the door, and, the grl was found sccIetcd
in the room beilud Il barrel. lie was accused ot
having used violence To the eirl, but how she came
there did not very clearly appear. The captain was
not informed OF tins during the nlght.-Ihc next
morning some four OF five of the deck passengers
spoke 10 the captain about ii this was about break
last time. lie heard their statements and informed
them that the negro should be safely kept until they
reached 81. Louis, when The matter should be eX-
amlned, and if guilty he should be punished by law.
Here the matter seemed 10 end, the captain after
breakfast returned on deck, passed the cooks room
aud returned to his own loom immedI atcly after he
had left the deck, a number OF the deck passengers
rushed upon the negro, bound his arms behind his
back aud carried HIM forward TO the bow oltle boat.
\ voice cried out " throw Inn overheard . aud was
responded To from every quarter OF the deck-and IN
an instant lie was plunged into the river. The
captain hearing the NOISE, rushed ont IN time TO see
the negro float iy. The whole scene Of tying and
throwing him overheard scarcely occupied ten min
utes, and was so PieclpItatc dlat the officers we've
III able to interfere IN time 10 save hun. Several OF
those engaged were identified and some of them az
rested aud lodged IN jail IN ST. Louis, where we
trust tlIey viii be tteated as murderers shouldbt.
